here is the new chapter of Chamber of Fate.
Chapter 11
Grey stood on the arena with darkness flowing from his body while having a serious look in his eyes. His left hand is stretched forward and left leg is a step away from his right leg.
Hi was holding Shusui with is his right hand so that the hilt was next to his side and blade was pointing forward with the edge pointing down.
Auburn facing him had an expression of a grin. He is pointing both of his pistols forward horizontally. Floating around him is eight glowing golden western style blades.
They are floating horizontally pointing towards Grey. They form a circle around him with four blades on each side of him.
Greys eyes then narrow for instance he then crouches a little and his eyes then widen as with a great burst of speed forward towards his opponent causing Auburn's eyes to widen for a moment.
He pulls back Shusui even further back and soon as he reaches the front of Auburn he thrust at him with Shusui aiming for his head.
Auburn dodges an attack by stepping to his right. Grey only smirks at that moment Auburn notices Greys left hand trying to grab him from the face.
Then one of the Auburn's blades moves between him and Greys hand making him take hold of it instead. Two more blades the started swing behind horizontally from behind Auburn from each side in an attempt to cut him.
Grey jumps up avoiding the blades but in three other sword thrust at him with three swift swings from shusui he deflected blades but n that moment Auburn smirks before pointing both of his guns at him and pulls the trigger firing fire dust bullets.
Grey uses his free hand and enhances it with armament before using the hand to swat bullets away.
He then bends his legs in mid-air. "Geppo..." He mutters quietly before kicking the air and flies behind Auburn and while in the air he spins his body so that when he landed he is facing towards his opponent. His feet left a short trail on the sand.
Auburn then spins around and fires five more bullets at him from his left gun which Grey avoids with minimal movement.
Entire groud including announcer only stared at two before erupting in cheers. "What an incredible exchange! I could barely keep my eyes on what just happened!" Drake shouts into the mic while slamming his left hand on top of his table.
"Did you see that!?" Ellie askes clearly amazed for what she had just seen. Pyyrha only looks at fight while nodding with a drop of sweat falling down the left side of her face.
"Yeah, I saw it." She says quietly before lowering her head little. While Tobaz was looking at the fight with a smirk in his face.
Back with the fight Grey takes step forward before crouching and lounging himself forward. Auburn takes a step forward with his left leg.
His blades circle his so that soon as Grey has almost reached him all eight blades try to cut soon as they have almost done a full circle.
Grey as narrow before they could hit him Grey leans slightly to his right before launching himself past Auburn with the use of Soru. "What the.!?" Auburn shout in shock his blades hit air strong wind goes past him from his left side.
Behind his, Grey rotates his body towards his left soon as he lands and launches himself again towards Auburn and delivers a strong kick to his spine with his right leg.
"Gah!" Auburn shouts in pain as the kick send him flying forward. Gery then crouches and jumps up into the air so that he is right above airborne Auburn.
Grey moves into a position with his right leg pointing towards Auburn before muttering to himself. "Tekkai..." His body hardens before begins to fall down towards Auburn.
Auburn sees him falling down upon him. He growls before he hits one of his blades on the ground in front of him he then places his right hand on top of the hilt and uses it to stop his flight and jumps back just before Grey crashes into the ground.
The impact causes a huge explosion of sand along with the huge cracking sound of arena breaking beneath the sand.
Result of the impact left most of the audience flabbergasted. While most of the participants are shocked.
Auburn only looks at the spot uncomfortably. "If I had taken that hit my aura would have taken more than just little damage..." He mutters in shock as a drop of sweat falls from his forehead.
Just then Darkness shot out of the sand cloud crawling on the ground heading towards him. "That's not good... woah!" He mutters before jumping out of the way.
While still in the air he points his right gun to the direction where darkness is coming from and shoots five bullets.
Fire dust bullets enter the sand cloud and darkness started retreating back to the cloud. As the sand clears reveals Grey with his left hand extended with his black door technique activated.
His eyes then narrow. "Black Door... Exit..." He mutters before fire dust bullets Auburn had previously shot were fired back with twice their original speed.
"Geh!" Auburn's eyes widen in shock before quickly running to the left avoiding the bullets with one of them almost grazing him.
"What the..." He looks at the direction where the bullet had flown. He then turns towards Grey only to find no one there.
"Now where did he go!?" Auburn talks annoyed as he begins to look around with sharp eyes.
"Grey Alvey has vanished from Auburn's sight along with rest of us as well!" Drake announces as everyone else looking around trying to find Grey with her right hand placed above her eyes trying to see better.
"He vanished again?" Ellie mutters as she tries to locate Grey's whereabouts. Pyyrha standing right next to her was busy in thought.
"What speed. Usually, when someone displays that level of speed it is through their semblance..." She then moves her hands which are just hanging on her sides to crossing them below her chest.
"But he activated his semblance earlier so that speed has to be completely natural..." Her mouth then turns into a small smile.
Then all of suddenly nearby rock splits in half as Rankyaku attack goes through it and heads towards Auburn while kicking up dust as it moves forward.
"Hmm?!" He turns around his head in order to face the incoming attack. His eyes then narrow as he swung four of his blades from the sides with two from each side.
When they collide with Greys Rankyaku attack they stopped for a few seconds before causing it to split into pieces and releasing a shockwave blowing even more sand into the air.
Behind the split rock, Grey shot forward. Auburn's eyes turn towards it and then two other blades swing upward trying to intercept Grey's trajectory.
But before he could reach the point where Auburn swung his blades he used geppo to jump back only a few feet away from Auburn crouching.
Grey then points his left hand towards Auburn while saying in a loud voice "Kurozu.". Auburn point both of his guns towards Grey but when he gets pulled from his chest by the gravity of darkness his hands are thrown back.
"What the.!?" he shouts in shock as his eyes widen as he is pulled towards Greys left hand.
"What's this!? Auburn kale has been suddenly getting pulled towards Grey by some sort of invisible force!" Drake announces.
"Gh! This is the trick he used to pull people to him!" He narrows his eyes as he thinks. His eight blades then started to swing towards Grey as he got closer to him.
But Grey suddenly leans forward while pulling Shusui back and coating it with armament haki. "Soru." He shots himself forward while making stabbing motion aiming middle of his Chest.
"What!" Auburn shouts in a shock. Shusui lands a direct hit sending Auburn flying at end of the arena and both of his guns drop from his hands.
His aura took serious hit dropping down slightly past the halfway point all eight blades disappeared as he lays on his back and his head hanging outside of the ring.
"Uuugh... That hurt." He mutters while beginning to stand up while holding the place where he was hit with his right hand. "What the hell was that?"
He mutters to himself as he stands up staggering a little. "Grey has managed to land serious blow to Auburn causing him to take lead in aura levels with his being slightly below half while one more hit and Auburn's aura level goes to red!"
Blades reappears behind him as he picks up his guns from the ground. "Man. This guy really does hit hard..."
Grey lowers his head little before taking a step forward with his left leg before moving his left hand pointing towards Auburn while holding Shusui so that it points to his right.
"Darnit all. I was aiming to end it with that strike. I ques his aura level is a lot higher than I thought." He mutters to himself.
Auburn takes out a case from right guns rears, the case has a fire symbol on it and then puts it away and then takes out a new one which has a black symbol on it.
Silence follows as two of them stare each other down and the audience is at the edge of their seats.
Auburn then points both of his guns towards the ground behind his back without turning his back towards him and then pulling the triggers. The recoil of shots sends Auburn flying upward towards Grey.
In response, Grey moves his left leg and hand behind him as he moves Shusui horizontally in front of his chest with Four blades tries to swing downwards at him in a formation of half-circle.
"And Auburn goes to the offence by repelling himself using gravity dust recoil!" Drake announces as audience cheer in excitement.
As he got closer to him Grey bends his legs before leaning forward, and just before the attack hits he jumps back landing in the exact same position he was before causing the blades to hit the ground.
He then dashes forward with a horizontal swing from Shusui. But Auburn's two other blades swing from Grey's right.
He sees them coming and quickly stops his advance, switches Shusui into a reverse grip and blocks them by placing it vertically in front of them and he gets pushed back a little from the force.
Grey then trie again grab Auburn by the throat with his left hand. But one of the blades tries to stab him from his left side.
He quickly jumps up doing a flip over Auburn. Soon as he landed he swings himself around attempting to stab Auburn but his attack is blocked by one of the blades.
Auburn then presses the trigger on both of his guns creating a sand cloud while sending him flying upward.
While in the air he points one of his guns upward pulling the trigger so that recoil sends him toward Grey.
While descending he begins to spin his body horizontally while all eight blades tips connect above the top of his head creating a drill.
Grey growls before placing Shusui in front of him horizontally and placing with the palm of his left hand near the tip of the blade for support and widening distance between his legs. Blade then gets coated in haki.
"Tekkai..." He then mutters as his body hardens getting ready to receive the impact.
Attack collides with Shusui causing Sparks to fly between them. In order to keep up speed spinning, Auburn fires a new round of Gravity dust from his gun.
"Weapon breaking attack..." Pyyrha mutters from the window with both of her hands on the railing. Ellie who is looking at the fight with exited smile stops and look at her confused.
"That attack seems to be the type that is meant to breaking your opponent's blade-like weapons by applying intense pressure in a single point..." She turns her head toward Ellie as she explains.
Ellie begins to grin before turning toward the fight. " This fight just keeps getting more and more fun." She says happily.
Pyyrha only looks at her before making a small smile before turning serious again and starts observing the fight again.
"After a furious exchange Auburn ha begun to apply heavy pressure on Grey with his attack!" Drake announces as Grey has begun to be pushed back little by little.
He makes annoyed Growl as he then tightens his grip on Shusuis hilt. He then begins to talk. "If... you really... think..." He mutters as his legs suddenly sink deeper into the sand.
"That you... can break... Shusui this easily..." He mutters as his eyes narrow a little. "Then..." His eyes then widen same time as his pupils shrink.
"Then you have another thing coming!" He shouts as he releases Tekkai and instantly moves Shusui away from Auburn's attack and instantly pushes into it stopping the spinning motion and sending him flying.
"What the!?" He shouts in shock but his expression then changes into enraged as two of the blades then swing horizontally aiming at Grey's left side.
Grey sees the attack but has no time to doge and takes hit with enough force to send him flying. Both of them begin to roll on the ground until both of them come to a stop.
Auburn do to loss of momentum and Grey crashes into a large rock that's on the field neck first crack appears on the rock from the impact.
"Aaaaaaaaagh!" Greys eyes widen as the pain spread from the back of his neck and from his left side where Auburn had hit him.
His pupils Shrink as he drops the Shusui to the ground. As his face turns towards the sky while he is struggling with pain.
He then moves it back facing forward with his right eye closed and left one open and he was bitting his lip while holding his neck with his left hand and his side with the right one.
"That really hurts!" He shouts in his head while bitting down on his lip. "That guy's semblance really is a pain. It doesn't matter if I can predict their moves with haki it doesn't help when you don't have time to dodge or guard."
His attention is then brought to the rock behind him. "Hmm." He stares at it thoughtfully. He then smirks before darkness starts to flow from his left hand again.
"Yet again their fight has thrown a huge amount of sand to the air blocking out our view of the field!" Drake announces while trying to see if he could see any movement from the sand clouds.
Tension fills the audience as they wait for something to happen. Then suddenly the silence is broken by the sound of crumbling is heard before the huge rock that was poking out of the sand begins to break and disappear to the sand cloud.
"What's this! Something is happening! Sand fields rock seem to be crumbling down!" All of the audience is looking at now crumbling rock not wanting to miss what could happen next.
Rock disappears into the cloud and soon after the sand begins to come down revealing the arena little by little. "Finally ladies and gentleman the cloud of sand are finally receding and we can finally see what is happening with the fighters!"
With Auburn who is still hidden behind the sand, crouching was coughing uncontrollably after he had swallowed sand as he was rolling on the ground.
"Darnit all..!" He growls before coughing two times afterwards and covers his mouth with the mid-section of his left arm.
He then looks upward to the screen which shows his and Greys aura level bars. His attack had lowered Greys aura by almost 1/4 of its maximum amount.
His attention is then brought to his aura level which was lower slightly past his half waypoint. "That guy is still in the lead..." He thoughts to himself as he grinds his teeth together for a moment before facing forward.
"According to what announcer just said Grey must have used that black mist to drag that rock inside of it somehow. Is still have no idea how that works?" He stands up as thinks to himself...
He moves his head to the direction of the rock where Grey had gone flying as the thinking begins to come to a view.
Grey is crouching with one knee with his left hand on the ground and his right hand is laying on top of his right elbow. Some of the darkness was behind him on the ground where the stone used to be retreating back to him.
Soon as the darkness was concentrated in a black circle beneath him. Soon as he is standing straight he makes coy smirk.
Auburn activates his semblance again and raises his guard. Grey then all of a suddenly throws his left hand back while the open palm of the hand is still pointing forward while taking a step forward with his right leg.
He then thrust his hand forward and in response darkness beneath his legs moves upward from behind him and curves towards Auburn.
Auburn eyes widen for an instant before narrowing. "He's planning to shoot the remains of that rock at me!" He thinks before jumping backwards just as arcing darkness was right above him.
At that moment Grey smirk turns into a wicked smile. Before he swings his left hand to his left causing another streak of darkness to come out of left part of the circle beneath him and quickly curves right next to Auburn's right side.
His eyes turn to his right as they widen in shock. "The one from above was a feint!" He screams in his head in realization.
"Yamiagari..." He says lowly with a grin and in that instant remains of the huge rock shoot out of it like out of the cannon.
Auburn quickly moves his blades crossed between him and stones but one huge part of the stone manage to get through before he could do it and hitting him and most of the rest colliding with blades. "Ghhh!" He grinches in pain as he is pushed by the force of the attack.
He lands on the ground and was buried by the rocks soon after. All of the spectators were left speechless from what they had witnessed.
"That... was..." Drake mutters quietly to the mic before suddenly shouting once again. "Incredible! I'm not sure how he did that but somehow Grey Alvey had turned stone of the field into a ruble and then shot it at Auburn Kale!"
He then turns his shouting into a calmer voice. "Not that I'm sure of it since because that sand flying all over the place. But that is something I just think happened..."
The crowd erupts in cheers soon afterwards. "That was so cool!" Ellie shouts while leaning forward almost outside of the window. "Please be careful. You could actually fall." Pyyrha says with a worried tone while reaching out with her left hand in case she would actually fall.
Elli returns back inside while still holding the railing with both of his hands and turns towards her. "Hey? How did he to that!?"
Pyyrha only looks at her slightly confused before answering. "I... don't know..." She then moves her head forward before hanging it down. "I'm sorry..."
Ellie only sweatdrops. "Uuh...That is not something you need to apologize for..." She says before turning towards the fight. Pyyrha eyes then move towards Grey at the arena.
Grey looks at the pile of rocks as he then takes his stance and placing Shusui to his side as he pulls his right hand back.
Shusui points forward with its edge pointing downward. Grey then places the palm of his left hand on top of the blade.
His left leg takes step forward as he leans forward while bending his left leg. Soon afterwards stone on that pile starts to move.
All of the rocks are then send flying as Auburn uses his blades to fling them off of him with a shout. "Aaargh!"
His head is hanging down as he is breathing heavily while having his eyes closed before opening them and raising his head.
All of then blades then return behind him as he stands up straight. After that, he glares at Grey before taking a deep breath and then releasing it.
"You clever son of a gun.." He then mutters lowly as he glares. His attention is brought to his aura level. He managed to just barely survive a little bit more and his aura would have gone to red.
"Auburn Kale seems to be reaching his limit. He is one more hit from losing can he turns things around before that happens!?" Drake announces as the fight is reaching its climax.
Auburn stares at his aura bar for a moment before turning his head forward and closing his eyes. "I really am going to lose at this rate..." He thinks to himself.
He then smirks and opens his eyes and looks at Grey. "Just because you have the lead in the aura levels don't think for a second that you have already won."
Grey expression doesn't change as he responds. "You are right..." He then bends his legs. "But soon I will have, as I manage to get that aura level to red."
Auburn only closes his eyes and makes a short laugh before his smirk disappears. "Don't think I going to let that happen!"
He shouts before starting to dash forward towards Grey. This causes Greys eyes to widen. "Why is he just charging at me recklessly?!"
Audience cheers as Auburn begin's his charge. "Once again two of them about collide once more! How will this turn out!" Drake announces.
His eyes then turn back to serious and tighten his grip on Shusui. Then soon as Auburn got in his reach he thrust Shusui forward.
Auburn stops his advance and before the blade could touch him he side-steps blade while swapping the ammo from his right gun.
But all of suddenly Grey rotates Shusui so that the edge of the blade points towards him and He then rotates his body swinging horizontally.
"What!?" Auburn's shouts in his head as his eyes widen in shock as he sees the approaching blade. He manages to block the blade with one of his.
A push causes Grey to start rotating to another direction, Auburn then points his right gun to the back of Grey's head.
But soon as he fires the gun. His hand has suddenly pushed aside by Greys left leg as he spins. A lightning bullet shot out of the barrel and goes right past the target.
"Ghh!" Auburn makes an annoying sound as it causes him to almost fall down but manages to regain his balance after staggering back a step.
Then four of his blades point towards Grey, who stops his spinning with his face looking towards him.
Four Blades then thrust forward in an attempt to stab him. Grey avoid it by making by jumping back a little and then takes a stance while muttering. "Ittoryu..."
Auburn then turns his eyes to look at him as remaining four blades swing vertically at him.
"Tatsumaki!" Before the blades could hit. He spins his body as he shouts instantly causing violent whirlwind filled with sharp blades to hit blades and forcing them.
Auburn eyes widen before quickly jumps back just before he was caught in it. "That was a way to close..." He says in shock soon as he landed.
He then swaps his left gun's ammo. He then points his Guns towards him before pulling the triggers firing several lightning and ice dust bullets.
As the group of lightning and ice dust bullets approached Grey. He uses Shusui to deflect every and each one easily.
He then straightens himself. He stares at Auburn before closing his eyes before taking a deep breath before letting it out.
He then begins to walk forward as he begins to walk towards Auburn and placing his right hand on the midsection of his left arm.
He then picks up his pace and starts to run at him. In responses by fires more bullet at him which he avoids by sides stepping each one.
"Soru!" He then uses soru to disappear causing Auburn to growl in annoyance. "Now where did he go?!" He starts looking around searching for him.
"Ittoryu Sanjuroku..." He then hears Grey's voice behind him as he talks about lowly causing him to turn around.
His standing behind him with his right arm so that his elbow is in front of his chest and his hand was next to his head and Shusuis blade was going past the back of his neck.
"Ghh!"Comes out of his mouth as he moves his back a little. "Pound Ho!" Grey shouts as he swings Shusui creating a powerful blade of wind towards Auburn.
At the same time with no time to get away, Auburn moves all of his blades in front of him in order to block the attack.
Greys attack collide with Auburn's guard causing him to push back a little. Auburn bites his teeth together in order to stop the attack.
He then notices something on the corner of his eye from his left. He then turns his head just enough to see Grey next to him getting ready to cut him with Shusui.
"No!" He shouts in his head before trying to point his left gun toward Grey but before he could Grey was already behind him and he had been cut.
And in that instant blades that are guarding him shatters letting Grey's attack trough hit him head-on sending soaring into the sky.
While he is still airborne. Grey stands up straight before re-sheating Shusui. He then closes his eyes and takes a deep breath and letting it out.
He then turns towards Auburn right as he is coming down. "Now it's over..." he says just as Auburn crashes into the ground creating a small dust cloud.
Auburn's aura level had gone red as all of the spectators look at them with silence before erupting in cheers.
"That is it! Ladies and gentleman this match is over! After a fierce battle between the contestants! Grey Alvey has merged as a winner!" Drake announces with great excitement and thrill.
In response, groud cheers even louder while Grey walks to Auburn who is just lying down on the sand while looking at the sky. "Damn... It seems I ow Tobaz a soda..." He mutters to himself.
