Chapter 4: More than a Soul…
"The more you want the power, the more you crave the soul…."
Dai and Ren would both say the words "Soul Resonance…" and a black soul aura would surround Dai, making their combined souls visible. Then the bow and arrow Dai was carrying would begin to transform into a powerful crossbow, which leaks Ren's and Dai's combined soul wavelength. This crossbow can shoot three hundred soul arrows a second; this made Dai a deadly foe to defeat. He stared down the upcoming attack by the witch, when she reached his frame she suddenly stopped…
"W-What's going on…? Why can't I move?" The witch questioned herself, as she could not figure out what the problem is.
"Got you…" Dai smiles as he points the crossbow towards her heart. He looked Medusa in the eyes and a sudden pause before Death approaches.
"That's right, we've got you now!" Ren yells from the inside of the crossbow.
Dai is able to channel his soul wavelength through the ground to another person and stop them in there tracks. Thus by, amplifying his soul through out his enemies, and causing them to mix with his wavelength. This is a rare move in Dai's arsenal, which only he can project towards his enemies. Thus being one of the reasons why Professor Stein is interested in Dai's skill as a technician. This highly untrained skill is based off another rare technique known as the 'soul purge'. It enables the user to send his or her own soul wavelength through one of their hands, to directly damage the opponent's body; when using both hands, which deals twice as much damage, the ability is known as the 'double soul purge twin lance'.
"You have no clue what you'll be doing if you kill me, you little twit…" Medusa says with an angered and unconcerned tone of voice.
"Oh…? I think I do." Dai holds the crossbow from in front of the witch's heart and pulls the trigger. Moreover, about twenty-one hundred black covered arrows move in and out the back of Medusa's heart. The attack kills the witch and she disintegrates into nothing, as her soul popped out of her aches. Ren transforms back into her human form and tries to look Dai in the face to say thank you. However, he turned his back towards her and closed his blue optics. She absorbs the witch's soul and stands still waiting for something to happen.
"Wait, isn't their…? AHHHH!" Ren screams out of pain an agony. She starts to hold her head and pain then falls to the ground on her knees.
"What is it?" Dai turns around and looks down towards Ren, as he has a concerned expression upon his face. He gets on his knees and looks at Ren. "What's wrong? Tell me now!" Dai says with a worried sound in his voice.
"Ha, Ha, Ha, Ha! I warned you, you stupid fool." A woman's evil voice was heard from above the sky. The witch Medusa was seen as Dai looked up, she was flying upon a broom when she said…"I told you that you have no clue what you will be doing if you would kill me. Wait not me, but my clone!" She laughs to herself as she looks down upon the broomstick.
"But…how?" Dai questions himself.
Medusa is able to make a clone from any another soul she desires. However, the magic she needs for this ability is greatly more than she can survive with out. She has to give the clone a third of her magic, and she will only get this power back after the clone is destroyed. Thus, being a downfall to this technique, and could lead to her death if someone finds out this deep secret.
"The soul your little ugly partner just absorbed is a fake witch soul, which contains a little extra something I decided to add." As Medusa finishes her statement, Ren passes out and lies there with Dai holding her in his arms.
"I think I already know…" Dai looks down at Ren and kisses her forehead. He just realized that Ren could not connect with his soul anymore. Making her a useless partner (since you have to be in harmony with you partner's wavelength, for the meister to use the weapon form).
For a weapon and its wielder, there souls must be coordinated for the meister to wield the weapon of your partner's wavelength. In addition, Medusa just changed that for Ren and Dai, making their souls incompatible to one another.
"I will never forgive you for this…" Dai places Ren on the ground gently as he looks up towards the witch. "You will die here today… One shall stand, one shall fall…" Dai started to focus all of his anger towards the witch, as his black soul appeared surrounding him.
"I don't think so, Bulls-EyE. As you know, the witch you just fought was a fake and since she was a fake. IT'S TIME TO FACE THE REAL ONE!" the witch jumps off her broomstick and dashes towards Dai and Ren.
"I know I can't defeat her in this state, but I have to try. For Ren…" Dai thinks to himself.
"NOW DIE YOU LITTLE TWIT!" Medusa was nearly at Dai's chest when a sudden burst of another soul appeared.
"Soul…Resonance, Witch Hunt…"
