Duality (DxD) (Part 1)

Ch 85 - A Crazy Magician

It was Aikas turn now, standing in front of Jin a couple metres away the same as Mittelt. Mittelt the same as Aika was backed away, but she had her wings out, still giddy about her two new wings. For four wings in total she absolutely loved. It was now not a battle between a Nine Tailed Kitsune and a Fallen Angel, but a Nine Tailed Kitsune and a Devil. A Devil who had been studying magic for many years.

Jin: So have you learned any new magic Aika?

Aika: You could say that. Though I'm no longer just using magic, but Demonic Power too.

Aika smiled widely as she got ready, getting into a firm stance as to not have her balance thrown off. As Jin looked confused, saying Demonic Power as if there was a big difference.

Jin: Excuse my ignorance, but what's the difference?

Aika: The magic humans use was created from researching Devils' Demonic Power and miracles preformed by God. It's based on knowledge and complex equations. You'd have to know mathematics and physics. But Demonic Power is completely different. Demonic Power is quite simple, I can use it based on the three factors. The power of imagination, the power to create and good senses. So if I combine the two... well... you'll find out.

Jin looked at Aikas devilish smile as he looked at her. Smirking slightly as he got into his stance. If he was correct, Aika was strong. Because Jin knew as Aikas friend, she had a great imagination.

It was a stand off, Aika was a mage so range was her advantage. She knew Jin would be coming towards her, and in the slight twitch he made, she immediately started to go onto the attack. Holding her hand out as a blue magic circle appeared and fired out a beam of intense head and light. Jin held his hand out using Youjutsu to make a barrier, with the been splitting and firing out everywhere. Cutting trees apart, burning holes in them and tearing at the forest floor.

Jin: {Damn. That was dangerous.}

Jin looked as Aika smiled widely, holding two spells in her hand as she knew Jin could handle this much. She could throw at him what ever she wanted. She could have fun. Firing a bullet of stone that was propelled by a cannon of wind breaking the sound barrier, but Jin punched it hard as it shattered, only to see a bright ball of fire he flicked. His finger bursting into blue flames to extinguish the fire. Feeling an idea spark in him looking at the burst of blue, orange and yellow flames. But as the fire and sparks faded, he was welcome to hundred of magic circles surrounding him.

Metal spikes of silver surrounding him with sharp edges and even sharper points, all pointing at him.

Jin: I know I'm strong, but are you trying to kill me?

Aika: Ah I know you can handle it!

Jin smirked as Aika smiled widely looking at the smirk she loved. Jin had an idea as he got into stance, the Fist of Flowing Water, Crushing Rock stance. As all the spikes fired at him, Jins hands ignited with hot blue flames. Remembering something Ban said before when he was very young.

Ban: Yes. But for you, you can think of it as rushing water, feeling its flow, flexibility and adaptability, a power that fills your entire body. Or you can think of it as fire, a powerful energy that spreads through your entire body, engulfing it in a powerful aura.

Remembering Bans words Jin started to smile. Fire was both raging and mesmerising. It both flickered and danced but roared. It could be comforting and smoothing but also a screaming force of nature. Jins fire was dazzling, hypnotic and powerful. One the made Aika look and blush as Jin began to move. Moving quite unlike the Fist of Flowing Water, Crushing Rock style.

Moving in the Fist of Flowing Water, Crushing Rock style was swaying through the motions. Swaying between punches and punching like a wave, punching with a heavy force and pulling back for another fast heavy wave like punch. Circling in a constant motion and rhythm. But the way Jin was moving wasn't anything like that.

His entire body was flickering like a flame.

His movements and fist flickered. The movements were controlled and erratic you lost track of it for a second. Yet the way he moved was hypnotic, because even in the moment of flickering, it was as if he was swaying. Parrying and moving the spikes away as they fried at him. But the more he moved, the more refined his flickering looked, the more the fire around his hands swayed and flickered with him as one. At points it was gentle, but at others his movements were roaring with power. As if Jin was testing out the motions.

With a smile on his face.

Quickly using Instant Movement he avoided lightning that shot at him, jumping up to avoid the discharge of bolts it made, like a tree, the lightning spread roots. Disappearing as fast as it was made. But not without one last attack from Aika.

Aika: TAKE THIS JIN!

Aika said with a manic laugh as Jin landed on the floor, looking at a large bolder Aika formed from magic. Teleporting it high up into the sky and igniting it. Sending it down fast in a blast of air like a meteor. Sent barrelling at Jin as he smiled. Pointing his hand out, blue flames flickered around his hand, firing out in a massive burst of blue flames that was visible anywhere in Kuoh. Completely incinerating the meteor.

Aika: {Jin. I... so... love you.}

Aika fell as Jin appeared right next to her catching her. Completely exhausting her Demonic Power using so much magic.

Jin: You were really amazing Aika. {I think I have an idea for a martial arts now because of you. I just need a name.}

Jin held Aika. Smiling while looking down at her, completely exhausted from using so much power. Jin gently lowered himself onto his knees as he slowly removed hair from her face. Holding her gently, turning it into a small hug. One Aika reciprocated.
