The Mitachurl struggled under the branch, but managed to get on all fours about to break free when unfortunately for it the Ruin Guard stepped directly on its head, crushing the creature and killing it in an instant.
With Kitayuu's improvement over the training arc, it allowed him to easily defeat a Mitachurl. Something that caused him a whole lot of trouble in the past, but the same could not really be said about the Ruin Guard yet...
Kitayuu watched as the Ruin Guard bent down and started lighting up on the back. Kitayuu immediately knew what was up and his mind clicked, "Rockets"
As the Ruin Guard shot rockets out, Kitayuu evaded them by hopping back and using the environment as cover. The rockets either hit the ground or some trees around causing a whole lot of dust to fill the air. Kitayuu used this to his advantage to flank from the side. With electro enhanced speed, Kitayuu struck the ruin guard on the side and immediately jumped up onto a tree branch. The machine recovered after the impact and reached its arm up grabbing the tree branch that Kitayuu stood on. Kitayuu jumped off as if he was on a springy diving board and put his hands together to make a pistol shape. The Ruin Guard looked up and charged a few rockets to try and hit Kitayuu who was now in the open.
"Stun gun!"
A small bullet sized energy of electro shot out of his hands and hit the Ruin Guard spot on its eye/core. Waves of electricity spread from the point of impact and the Ruin Guard knelt down on one knee and struggled to get its power system stabilised. Kitayuu dropped down vertically and slammed the rest of the machine's body, face planting it into the ground. Kitayuu was still in the air as the Ruin Guard started stabilising again and grabbed him with its long arm. Kitayuu activated his whole body with Cryo and broke free from its hand by instantly freezing the palm. As the ice expanded the Ruin guards grip completely opened up and Kitayuu hopped out.
"Although using multiple elements can take a toll on my body. Hu Tao did say I should experiment with smaller scale attacks when I need to use something else"
The Ruin Guard clenched its fist breaking the ice.
"I'm gonna finish this thing off now!"
Kitayuu placed both hands on the ground and ice spikes emerged directly towards the Ruin Guard. The spikes however broke when coming in contact with the hard body of the machine, but some spikes seemed to prove effective when they hit between the joints that were not covered with metallic armour. A spike managed to pierce through the machine's shoulder and broke off when the Ruin Guard tried to break free. Kitayuu run up on the spikes and jumped on the Ruin Guards back where its rocket artillery was located. Kitayuu watched as the holes started lighting up. He placed his hand between the four holes and started freezing. Kitayuu had to fall back just as he partially froze over all the holes as the rockets were about to shoot out at any moment. He watched as the rockets finally fired and clashed with the ice frozen over. Explosions erupted within the body and the machine collapsed to the ground, all mangled up.
