PHASE 77 - LOVE TRIANGLE TROUBLES

PHASE 77 - LOVE TRIANGLE TROUBLES

It's an early Saturday morning, where the skies are clear and the sunlight does not sting. I'm in the backyard with Heushac, and both of us had our Weapon Gems deployed. We're having a sparring session to see how much we've improved.

We will be switching to the flat edges of our blade, Battousai-style, to prevent any harm from both parties.

"Here I go!" Heushac made the first move as he recklessly jumping to me with the plan of just beating me up. "<Magma Crunch!>!!!"

I jumped back to effortlessly evade the attack. As soon as his giant sword hit the ground, the earth trembled, and the soil turned into a volcano's crater, launching burning stones and some lava squirt! With the help of my <Presage>, I effortlessly evaded all those projectiles.

But Heushac didn't stop there! "<Sol Strike>!!!" He swiped his sword sidewards, and a crescent flame gust emerged! That spell was used by Diadem when we first had our battle, so Heushac must have been inspired to learn that very same trick!

Too bad, I know to counter it! "<Wind Blade>, Set!!!" My katana was engulfed with pure white energy, making its blades wider and thicker. And then I made a composed downward slash to dispel the flame shockwave.

Heushac was never contented with that, so he released seven consecutive <Sol Strikes>! To parry those flame winds, I used my <Magnum Boost> to cover my whole body with static electricity which gave me a massive speed gain! In the blink of an eye, my katana went through each and every fire projectiles, cutting them like butter!

"What the-" Heushac exclaimed after seeing his useless attacks. Now that he's running out of spells, he resorted on making swift hacks and quick slashes.

With the help of my <Presage>, I predicted each and every attacked. I evaded it with no effort by sliding left and right.

"How can you do that!?" Heushac's jaw hanged.

"Instinct."

"What kind of instinct is that?"

"Ultra."

I immediately bolted forward with the katana positioned on my waist. I closed my eyes as I cast my spell! "<Moonlight Slash>!!!"

My opponent was blinded as everything went dark for a split second. Then there was a silver streak, signaling that he has been directly hit in the stomach with my blade! And I just teleported behind Heushac!

I don't intend to stop there! "<Aether Switch>!!!" I said as our bodies swapped positions. Now we're looking face-to-face! With this, I can cast a powerful skill!

"<Moonlight Waltz>!!!"

The same as <Moonlight Slash>, <Moonlight Waltz> blinds the enemy. But <Moonlight Waltz> is an upgraded version in which I can deliver a whopping twelve slashes in a blink of an eye. Though not as impressive as when I used it with the mystical invisible sword (99 strikes), this spell is still the best damage-dealing attack I had in my arsenal.

"Ooooah!!!" Heushac fell to the ground as the muscles on his body ached. He dropped his sword which made a loud series of clanging.

"EZ GGWP!" I said as I coldly glared at my fallen friend.

"Stop boasting around! It's unfair because you have a lot more experience. But I'm sure I can beat you if I'm equipped with <Evo Armor>!"

I lent out my hand to this complaining bastard as I reasoned out. "That's more unfair because you will be using Key's power too."

As I helped Heushac stand, there was someone who was applauding our exhibition fight. It was a blonde short girl who is wearing a casual vacation outfit.
