My Red Glowing Eyes

The Crab ♋︎

Soobin skids back when Cancer kicks him, there's a snap heard from his staff and the wizard grimaces, thinking about the price coverage on the item. He kicks them out of the way, unarmed unlike the samurai.

"What are you going to do without your staff?" The zodiac questions, grinning evilly. "You're hopeless without it."

Soobin smiles in return, an eyebrow quirks up with acknowledgment. "I may not have my staff, but there's a reason I use them." He rolls up his sleeves, strong and unblemished arms revealed. "Guess why the supernatural counsel gave me the title "the exorbitant", Cancer." He gestures to his empty arms. When Cancer stares at them, blue inscriptions are marking Soobin's skin. A hand comes up in a fist, the enemy looks at him oddly. Once the palm opens, a harsh gush of wind hits Cancer, sending him across the room. The latter gets up in a rushed manner, trying to comprehend the attack.

"There's no way! I've never seen a wizard independent without their staff— nonetheless wield powers!" Wizards are technically humans that are born with mana. It is transferred through a staff given by the shape of their hands, indicating the element they will be able to wield.

"You're correct, but some are special. Maybe you never came across some of us, only one in every million wizards have this capability like me." He gestures to the engraved marks on his skin. "I use a staff to control my powers... it's quite unstable." He scratches the back of his nape, sheepish.

   The samurai looks at him deadpanned.

Such weak gestures when you point out that you may be powerful.

"Now, let's get back to business. You guys are getting in our way." His voice is deeper, indicating the gravely fight.

   The samurai gets into a stance, his sword angled just above his own head, weapon gleaming. He launches himself with inhumane strength, going to stab at the younger.

Soobin's hand flattens, a wind barrier on his arm as he shields himself. He braces the impact, fighting against Scorpio's force. Not even the katana can cut through the rough winds of the boy.

"You should take consideration that the alliances teams all consist of unique members of their own kin. We have our differences and history. History alone, is strong enough for us to fight alongside." He throws the blade off of him before blows of wind slice up the zodiac. He watches as blood paints the floor, sword discarded.

"Then what if I seal your powers?" Cancer gets back up, pointing at a sudden magic bind on the wizard's chest.

When did he cast a spell?!

Soobin looks at his arms and the markings are vanishing. He doesn't feel any magic energy within him.

It's been a while since I felt like this.

He shudders at the memories. All the echoing bloody screams leaves him shaken up a bit.

   He sucks in a sharp breath, features hardening and lunges at the enemy. If he can't use magic, he'll use his fists. Cancer defends himself, both parties unarmed. The elder takes a few hits before he swipes his leg beneath Soobin's, knocking the latter down.

"Get a taste of this," The samurai punches the boy beneath him.

   The wizard blocks a fist to his face, hand clenching down with ferocious force, the zodiac chokes in pain, pulling back. Perhaps the wizard crushed some ligaments. When Soobin feels the slightest spark of profound energy, he goes at it and sucker punches Cancer in the guts, the most nauseating location to hit. The elder dry heaves and that's all it takes for the seal to break.
