Hidden rainfall

chapter eight

The commander has the upper hand. As I thought your technique requires time to cast and is not instant. The one big weakness of AOE attacks. And your close range is nothing compared to mine. You were a powerful opponent but it's over. No, Souta says in frustration. I am only getting started. Ignition style: thermite blast, the move is as it sounds, he blasts out ignited thermite straight from his hands. No, this attack is fast so I can't dodge. He is releasing gas at the same time as sparks, so it is instantly ignited. Instead of a boom it blasts out in the form of thermite. But if it is already ignited then I can use this. I had been holding out on lightning arts because it would ignite the gas but now I can use it. Lightning art: channeling spear, he sends a bolt that connects and zaps his opponent while dispersing the opposing attack. As long as we are linking though this attack this shock will never stop. Of course I could also run out of mana but that won't happen for a while. Keeping you stunned there like a chain tieing you down. And this chain can be held with one hand so with my other I can still attack. Lightning art: overdrive. This will boost my former attack and now this stun will fry you. Ignition style: thermite explosion, he blasts away the attack as well as the commander with a brilliant explosion of thermite. Sorry about the wait you were making it difficult to release that attack. But now I will finish you before you can do anything like that again. Ignition style: dragon's breath, he releases a massive cloud of gas from his mouth. The commander is now surrounded in the gas. And now to ignite it. Water art: sudden wave, an attack from above that washed away the gas into a puddle. But it came from of all people Sumi. Sama had arrived with reinforcements and Sumi was one of them. Reinforcements, that's not good, Souta said in a surprisingly calm manner. Ah I was wondering when you would show up, the commander was happy to see them. Now shall we finish this. Actually me and Sumi can handle this one, Sama said wanting to show the fruits of their labor. The commander said this and was ready to watch. Alright Sumi let's go with that. I understand Sama. Water art: fierce wave, she aimed an even bigger and stronger wave than the last a Souta. Ha you little girls don't stand a chance. Ignition style: thermite blast. Both their attacks collided, however Souta was pushing back. Then Sama from behind Souta began to attack him. Lightning art: intensity bolt, a large blast of electrical energy was raging towards him. Ignition style: thermite blast, he was now counting an attack from both sides. But it was too much and they overcame him. The water and lightning mixed, amplifying the damage of both upon contact. He was blasted away but the two girls weren't finished yet. Water art: rising twin dragon trap, she rushed in and placed her hand on his stomach and twisted it. She lifted him up above her and two dragons took him up in a spiral pattern. Once he was about fifty feet in the air the dragons crashed into him and formed a massive bubble filled with water. Then Sama went for a follow up attack. Lightning art: flash arrow annihilation, she launched a small but powerful attack. When it hit the bubble it lit up blue. The water bubble and everything inside it was introduced to a shock close to that of an actual bolt of lightning. The water was vaporized and Souta fell to the ground looking badly burned. It's not over yet, Sama said to Sumi. They both prepared to finish it and charged straight ahead. Don't underestimate me you brats. Ignition style: thermite flash, he used the thermite to flash forward and superheat his own hand. Water art: splash shield, she created a small point of water that the opponent struck. It splashed around him like hitting a wave with a lot of force and cooled his hand preventing any harm to Sumi. The water also soaked him so once Sumi had backed away it was shocking time. Lightning art: charge bullets, she released a bunch of bullet sized lightning projectiles that shocked him. He was nearing his tolerance limit for damage. This next attack will probably be my last, he thought to himself. Then I will use their combo attacks to my advantage. Both Sumi and Sama attack at once and are about to hit him. Ignition style: thermite blast absolute discharge, he releases a massive amount of ignited thermite that was going in all directions. Sumi and Sama had no time to react and were caught in the blast
