Fairy Tail's Sun Guardian

Chapter 18 - Izuku Blazeheart vs Jose Porla

As Izuku and Jose squared off in the heart of the guild hall, a tension enveloped the atmosphere, thickening with each passing moment. The hall seemed to tremble under the weight of their conflicting energies, cracks snaking across the floor and walls, due to the sheer force being unleashed by their high magical pressure.

Slowly from Jose's being, dark and spectral ghosts began to emerge, swirling around him in a sinister dance. These shadowy entities, "shades" his malevolent magic, exuded an aura of dread, their presence casting a pall of darkness over the hall, cloaking it in a icy grip.

Yet, across from that ominous spectacle, Izuku remained unflinching. His emerald eyes blazed with an intensity that matched the shining sun, twin orbs of verdant fire that held a vast power. Izuku stood firm, his stance changing as he prepared to move.

With a flick of his wrist, Jose unleashed his signature move, "Shade Tempest," summoning forth a swirling vortex of shades that tore through the guild hall with devastating force. The dark winds howled with cold fury, their power rending the nearby furniture to shreds, shattering walls, and scattering debris in their wake as they moved towards their target. 

But even amidst the chaos, Izuku's reflexes were as sharp as ever. With a swift motion of his hands, he conjured a shimmering barrier of solar energy around himself to deflect the onslaught of the attacks. The barrier shimmered brightly as it absorbed the brunt of the attack, protecting Izuku from the full force of Jose's onslaught.

Izuku pressed forward, his movements fluid and precise as he danced through the swirling shades. Though a few shades managed to slice through his defenses, leaving faint trails of injury in their wake. But a soft glow enveloped the wounded areas immediately, his injuries swiftly healing and the remaining shades on his body burning, his magic mended his flesh, restoring him within seconds.

As Izuku closed the gap between himself and Jose, a surge of his magic enveloped his fists, imbuing them with a intense heat and brightness. With a primal roar, he unleashed a relentless barrage of punches, each strike fueled by the raw power of his magic. But Jose was also not  a stranger to combat, his own hands covered in a shimmering aura of dark magic as he deftly parried each blow with practiced precision.

The clash of their fists reverberated throughout the guild hall, a clash of magic and flesh as they engaged in a fierce battle for dominance. Back and forth they moved, locked in a dance of combat, each seeking to exploit the slightest opening in the other's defenses. Izuku's keen eyes scanning his opponent for any sign of weakness, his mind racing with strategies and counterattacks as he sought to gain the upper hand.

And then, in a moment of fleeting opportunity, Izuku spotted a small slip-up in Jose's defenses, a split-second hesitation that was captured easily with his trained eyes. 

Izuku's movements were a blur of motion as he seized upon the opening with lightning-fast reflexes. With a deceptive feint, he lured Jose into expecting a direct attack before seamlessly transitioning into a hand-standing kick aimed squarely at Jose's chin. The sudden change in tactics caught Jose off guard, his balance wavering as the force of Izuku's kick connected solidly, sending him reeling backwards, his defenses momentarily shattered.

Izuku wasted no time in pressing his advantage. As Jose struggled to regain his footing, Izuku unleashed a relentless onslaught of hand stand spinning kicks, each blow finding its mark with pinpoint accuracy. The flurry of attacks struck with the precision of a well-honed blade, battering away at Jose's defenses and leaving him vulnerable to Izuku's relentless assault.

But Izuku wasn't finished yet. With a graceful leap into the air, he twisted his body with finesse, channeling the momentum of his ascent into a devastating flying axe kick aimed directly at Jose's exposed form. Jose managed to raise his defenses at the last possible moment, intercepting Izuku's flying axe kick with a attack using his magic. Though the impact was softened due to the clash, the sheer force behind Izuku's kick still sent shockwaves rippling through the guild hall, the ground quaking beneath them as the floor cracked and groaned under the strain.
