Chapter 43: Chapter 43: Airspace
Meanwhile, "Wind's" fight was about to begin against the vice captain of the Vandal Royal Guard.
Montir Sauer
Age: 68
Ht: 6'0
Wt: 250 lbs
Special Ability: Charge and Fire
As the two came face to face, "Wind" analyzed his opponent. His analysis led to a grim conclusion. In terms of power, he was far outmatched by his opponent. Before the fight had even begun, he knew that his chance of victory was slim to none.
"Even if that is the case, I have no choice but to step forward and fight!" He thought as he charged towards his opponent. "Wind's" attack was easily blocked by Montir who then fired a blast of aura that sent "Wind" crashing into the ground.
Montir's ability allows him to charge his aura and fire it in blasts that varied in size and strength based on how much aura he charged. As "Wind" struggled to make his way back to his feet he was relentlessly showered in an onslaught of blasts. The fight continued on with all of "Wind's" attacks being effortlessly brushed off by Montir, while Montir's blasts continued to cause significant damage to "Wind".
"I can't go on like this. Even my strongest technique, Emperor Tornado, had no effect. Well, seeing as this is a life or death situation, I suppose it would be foolish to hold anything back. Though I will admit that I'd hoped to hold on to this technique in case I ever had to fight "War" again." "Wind" thought.
"Is this the best the heir to the noble Rooach family can do? I guess that's how the rest of your clan was wiped out. They were all weaklings like you!" Montir said cackling to himself. "Oh? Did I make you mad boy?" He said reacting to the sharp bloodlust "Wind" emitted after he had finished speaking.
"Oh I have more for you, but regret pushing me this far, when I scatter your bones to the wind!" "Wind" howled.
Absolute Airspace!!!!!
At the activation of his ability it initially seemed as if nothing happened. However, when Montir went to attack again he noticed what had changed. Suddenly all of his attacks seemed to oddly veer off mark, and "Wind" seemed to have gotten a great deal faster. While he had gotten faster, his attacks still didn't have enough power to damage Montir.
"Hmph! So what if you can zip around the air like that! If you haven't gotten any stronger then this little performance is pointless." Montir said with an expression of disappointment on his face.
Jet Stream Palm!!!!!
Suddenly a blast of compressed air ripped through Montir's defenses and sent him flying.
"Ha! So you mixed in attacks that weren't at full strength to make me put my guard down? Not bad, but it's easily countered. All I have to do is defend by charging my aura to the max and wait for you to run out of steam. I know you can't maintain this technique for long, or else you'd have been using it from the start of the fight." Montir said while charging his aura armor.
"You're right. I can only use this technique for roughly 5 minutes, but that's more than enough time to bury you." "Wind" said as he continued his attack. All of his attacks were deflected by Montir's aura armor, and eventually his airspace dissipated. With his energy apparently drained, "Wind" collapsed to the ground.
"Ha! Just like I expected!" Montir said. As he was going in for the kill, "Wind" got up while reactivating his airspace. This caused Montir's attack to miss, and "Wind" countered with a wind javelin that pierced Montir's chest.
"And that was just as I expected. I knew that if I dropped my airspace, that you would drop your guard." "Wind" said.
"HAHAHAHA!!!!!" Montir howled with laughter. "I bet you thought that was clever, didn't you boy? I was counting every second. When you dropped your airspace before the 5 minute time limit I knew you were up to something."
Montir now charged his largest blast yet, and without his airspace "Wind" would be helpless to defend against it. However, his airspace was reactivated and deflected the blast.
Airspace Execution: Void Blade!!!!
A vacuum blade, ripped through Montir's chest nearly cutting him in half.
"The last thing a person expects after a last ditch surprise attack, is another last ditch surprise attack. I knew that 5 minute time limit I mentioned earlier would cause you to drop your guard after 5 minutes passed. You should be careful about trusting the words of your opponent." "Wind" said.
"Though" I doubt this information will be of any use to a dead man." He continued as he looked on Montir's corpse.
"If he was that strong, how much stronger is their captain?" "Wind" wondered. "I wonder how the others have been faring in their own battles, I have a bad feeling about "War's" fight. It's not just their captain, I can't shake the feeling that something else is on its way there."
As "War" made his way towards his objective, unbeknownst to him, another entity was on its way as well. On that planet, "War" would experience terror the likes of which he'd never seen before.
