Chapter III- The Heat of Battle
Yoh just stared. Eliwood, one of the most well-known knights of all time, was a shaman. "Let me introduce my guardian ghost: Rekkiken, the Knight of Flame." Eliwood said with pride. "He's...OK." Yoh replied. Rekkiken was awesome. Clad in crimson-red armor, Rekkiken also wielded a colossal broadsword in his right hand. In his left hand he carried an oval shield with a wyvern insignia on it.
"Rekkiken is the strongest spirit. Even Nergal couldn't defeat him." Rekkiken grinned as his master said this. Amidamaru glanced at his katanas. They looked feeble next to the fire knight's blade. Yoh felt Amidamaru's panic.
"Don't worry Amidamaru." Yoh reassured. "If we can beat the Spirit of Flame, a fire knight shouldn't be a problem." "Enough talk, time to battle!" Eliwood shouted. "REKKIKEN, SPIRIT FORM!" Rekkiken became an orange sprit ball. "OVERSOUL!" Eliwood proclaimed as he thrust his sprit partner in his raspier. An orange sprit broadsword erupted from the royal blade. "UNITY!" Yoh commanded as he propelled Amidamaru deep inside him. As Yoh unsheathed Harusame, shaman and ghost exclaimed "Let's go."
Yoh leaped into the air with a vertical slash. Eliwood quickly raised his rapier in time to block the blow. "Yoh, this lord knows many fighting techniques. We must be on our guard." Amidamaru said. Eliwood charged and attempted a stab with his oversoul rapier. Yoh hastily parried the attack. As the stab was blocked, Eliwood swung his blade around his head to continue his attack. Startled, Yoh leaped into the air. The lord's sword slashed nothing but air. As Yoh leaped, he cried, "SHOCK WAVE BUDHA GIRI!" A wave of energy exploded from harusame. Eliwood flew backwards as the air ripple hit him. As he got up, he held his arm from pain.
"Strong attack....wanna see mine?" Eliwood said, a spark in his eye. He held the sword parallel to him. The orange spirit blade radiated massive amounts of flames as Eliwood shouted, "RYU-SHIKON ENKOU BAKUFUU!" Flames erupted from multiple points around the blade's edge. The flames molded like clay into the forms of dragon heads. Yoh was shocked. He never had seen dragon spirits before. The dragon skulls roared as the launched themselves at Yoh, flames trailing behind them. "Remember Yoh, a sword can defeat one enemy, but tactics can defeat ten- thousand enemies." Amidamaru quoted. Yoh nodded in response. He had no idea how he was going to get out of this one. Eliwood grinned as his dragon minions lunged at the shaman king. "You cannot win Yoh. No one can escape the dragon-fang flame blasts." Eliwood smirked. Yoh closed his eyes in thought. Tactics. Tactics.
