The Infinite Story Volume 1

15. The Mimic, The Sign, The End of the Medieval District

"The others are here!" Amantii exclaimed upon sensing Johan's magic power.

"Yeah, I know," Mar replied as they continued running.

Mar and Amantii dashed away from Camilo, their footsteps echoing through the streets.

"We can't just keep running forever. I say we fight," Amantii declared, activating her ability.

"You have any ideas?" Mar asked, glancing back at her.

"Yeah, duh," Amantii said confidently as she abruptly halted.

"Okay, great," Mar said, a hint of skepticism in his voice.

Amantii swiftly opened a portal beneath Mar's feet, and he found himself teleported onto a nearby rooftop. Another portal materialized, and Amantii used it to join Mar on the rooftop.

"You just gave away our location to that guy. Stop using magic," Mar scolded, grabbing Amantii's ankle with his ability and nearly causing her to trip.

Amantii pushed Mar to the side. "Who cares? Besides, we need to give the others some sort of sign, letting them know we're here too."

"Yeah, texting wouldn't really work because they all seem to be busy, and the city is massive," Mar agreed.

"Here," Amantii said, opening a portal in front of Mar's head, making it fluctuate in size. "You get the gimmick, right?"

"Yeah, yeah, yeah." Mar said sarcasticaly. "So, now do we plan on killing this guy or just restraining him?" Mar inquired.

"Come on, let's play a little. It won't hurt," Amantii suggested.

"Sure, sure," Mar casualy replied.

There was a moment of silence as Mar and Amantii sensed another presence near them, causing them to stop moving. Suddenly, two hands appeared behind them, grabbing their shoulders. "Come on, you guys," a voice said as the body materialized. "You both are no fun, letting me catch up this easily," Camilo taunted.

In response, Amantii swiftly created three portals beneath their feet, causing Camilo to teleport into the sky while she and Mar were transported to another rooftop.

"Now!" Amantii exclaimed, creating a portal in front of Mar.

This ability allows Amantii to create seethrough portals that she can summon within a range of 500 meters. These portals are adjustable in size, allowing her to manipulate them to fit various objects. With this skill, she conjured a portal in front of Mar, directing it towards Camilo, giving Mar the opportunity to utilize his ability to pull him in. Mar seized Camilo and pulled him towards the portal while Amantii swiftly adjusted its size, ensnaring Camilo's body on the other side, with only his hand sticking out through their side. Capitalizing on this moment, Amantii summoned her spear using her other ability and deftly severed Camilo's arm. And with that she closed the portal.

Camilo fell to the ground. His arm began regenerating at a rapid pace. With precision, Amantii summoned a portal beneath his leg making him fall throgh, causing the leg to materialize in front of her. Seizing the opportunity, she swiftly severed his leg, preventing him from retaliating.

Camilos ability, Copy and Understand, is a unique power that enables him to replicate the abilities of his adversaries once he comprehends how their powers function. Over time, he has geathered various abilities from numerous individuals. In this instance, he activated Mar's ability to launch both Amantii and Mar towards the ceiling of the Prestige with a single hand.

Amantii seized the moment, her mind working at lightning speed as they soared through the air. With unwavering determination, she replicated the same strategy as before, this time amidst the chaos of mid-air combat. As they ascended, Amantii conjured another portal with and unparalleled precision, while Mar swiftly maneuvered Camilo towards its opening. With a seamless motion, Amantii harnessed the momentum of their ascent to forge yet another portal, swiftly transferring Camilo's body downward to the rooftop below. In a stunning display of teamwork and skill, only his arm remained exposed, a tantalizing prize dangling within their grasp.

With quick thinking, Amantii severed Camilo's other arm and threw it at him with incredible speed. This unexpected attack forced Camilo to dodge, even though he only had one leg left to move with. But despite his disadvantage, Camilo managed to dodge the flying limb with his surprising agility.

As they fell, both Mar and Amantii shared a glance and with remarkable coordination, they repeated their plan in mid-air. They sliced off Camilo's remaining leg with precise timing, leaving him without any limbs. Keep in mind that this thing only happened in a matter of seconds.

As they were falling, Mar glanced at Amantii. "Qucik get out of here, I have a plan!"

"What are you planning to do bro?" Amantii questioned, but she knew that if she stayed, she would have likely died. So without hesitation, she left the area using her portals, allowing Mar to carry out whatever he had in mind.

Mar utilized his ability to its fullest potential, seizing the ceiling of the prestige and propelling himself towards it with incredible force. He went upward at immense speed, executing a perfect landing on the ceiling. With swift precision, he positioned himself upside down, securing his hold on the ceiling with his legs to prevent himself from falling.

The ceiling beneath Mar's feet began to radiate a neon green hue, his hands pointed towards the ground while his gaze remained fixed on the city below. As his power surged, the entire prestige structure quaked in response to his immense display of strength. With a panoramic view of the city sprawled beneath him, Mar's influence extended far beyond the confines of the prestige.

The ground shook as buildings crumbled and structures collapsed under the weight of Mar's power. The earth itself seemed to defy gravity, floating amidst a shimmering neon green aura, a testament to Mar's boundless reach. In a scene of destruction and chaos, the once cityscape was reduced to rubble, now suspended in mid-air by Mar's sheer will.

With his hands immersed in the pulsating glow of energy, Mar commanded the forces at his disposal with unwavering determination. And just as suddenly as it began, the cataclysmic event came to an end. Though Mar had deactivated his ability, his indelible mark lingered on the landscape, a lasting reminder of his unparalleled power. The area remained enveloped in the eternal glow of neon green energy, a silent testament to the devastation brought by one with infinite reach.

Mar stood atop the floating ground, surveying the other parts of the city. Despite the immense destruction he had caused, he hadn't managed to kill Camilo yet. Thankfully, Amantii had managed to escape the area before everything unfolded.
