"Keep moving like that and I'll drop you, chump!" Threatened the ASIC member.
FLY!
Soaring through the sky, Warchu held the boy by his undershirt as he tore through the sky with little concern for the child's safety, more so for his detriment.
"Let me go, you big bully!"
STRUGGLE...!
Domio was on the receiving end of the harsh treatment as he desperately tried to make the mutant let go of his collar to no avail as his vice grip did all but even budge as they were flying towards their destination.
The ground slowly became more and more saturated with trees as they were traveling over an area not widely traversed due to the lack of wide paths and thick tall trees that reached several meters tall, all appearing as a blur for the preteen.
Accepting the fact that any physical attempts of removing the rat's grasp on his threads would be ultimately useless, he changed his idea.
FREEZE!
"Ack! That's cold, chu!" Warechu yelped as his hand suddenly dropped to freezing temperatures, shifting from finding a suitable area to his now entrapped limb.
FREEZE!...
Continuing to encase the rat in the ice, channeling his mana through his hand, the child mage made his way from the hand to the forearm of the rat as they continued to fly without hindrance as the evolved rodent witnessed the solidification of his arm.
"Stop that!"
SHAKE!
He barked at the child, shaking his hand in an attempt to make the child cease his actions.
"NO!" Vehemently denied the Loweean, a backbone forming in his tone as he was faced with someone who wanted him dead more than anything else. It took everything he had not to waiver from the fear he felt being dragged around like a doll.
FREEZE...!
FLEX!
SHATTER!
"Ahh!" Shouted the child.
Warechu's arm tensed, flexing out of the ice with a contraction of his muscles with the mana strengthening the spell completely dispensing as Domio's hands were blown away.
"This is why I don't work with kids." He grumbled under his breath, looking up in annoyance.
"Listen here, you lil' shit!-"
PUNCH!-
His vision snapped back down, only to see a conjured and improved ice fist reeled as it raced towards his face.
GRIP!
BREAK!
"!"
Grabbing the first of ice just as it reached in front of his face before destroying it, he moved it to the side to reveal the kid's shocked face as he continued.
"If you want me to let you go so bad!..." He started.
FLAP!
RAPID SPIN!
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!"
Twisting his body by flapping one side of his wings as he turned, his person quickly rotated to the point he resembled a marketable toy about spinning tops as the boy suddenly felt his lunch greet the entire left side of his stomach as he screamed in surprise.
"THEN SEE YA, CHUMP!"
THROW!
"AIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!"
With a mighty toss, the mutant rodent sent the boy flying towards the ground as his body became faster than his own perception, the world around him slightly peeling back.
CRASH!-
EXPLOSION!
SCATTER!
GUST!-
The pressure from the Loweean's landing caused not only the ground to fissure and fly into the air, but the trees alongside the immediate vicinity where he hit also catapulted themselves into the air in a wave-like manner as the rest were blown heavily back for a moment from the surprising show of strength that the once puny rat showcased.
"Too damn annoying for my liking, chu." He floated, flapping his wings every so often as he looked down on the crater that formed from the body he threw.
On the ground, however, Domio was also surrounded by a thin layer of ice fragments.
He used them to mitigate the majority of the force that would've been exacted upon his form had he not created the barrier of brunt at the last second before he made contact with the floor. It didn't take away from the burning sensation of inflammation he endured from the slamming he felt when the barrier broke.
"Oww...!" Winced the kiddo as he pulled himself off the ground as he looked up to the floating enemy that dragged him so far away from civilization. Said opponent realized that he was far from dead.
"Missed a spot." He took out a firearm from under his trench, a modded UMP45 as its barrel glistened under the late morning sun. Aiming down the pitacanny, through the reflex sight of the weapon, the laser was pointed onto the boy's position, more specifically his head was noticed by the brown-haired boy's eyes as it followed the dot until it reached between his eyes before pulling the trigger.
GUNFIRE!
SKATE!
Without hesitation, a primal sense of wariness alongside a chilling sensation on the front of his face thrust the preteen into action as he immediately moved away from the bullets as they dug themselves into the ground where he stood less than a moment later.
RAPID FIRE!
SLIDE!
A line of gunfire followed the boy as he managed to stay ahead of the line of fire by just a few feet as the high-flying mutant trailed the direction the ice wizard-in-training went as he was determined to make his target look like the cheese his kind adored so much.
STRETCH!-
MAGIC CIRCLE!
Extending his hand towards the fragments around his land site, he caused the pieces of broken ice to levitate as a magic circle was created around them.
"Huh?" The multi-colored eyes of the suspended member glanced over to the floating pieces of ice as they soon aimed at him.
ZOOM!
"?!"
His confusion turned to reactionary shock as the fragments shredded any excess ice and molded themselves from irregular shapes to spikes before one zoomed towards him.
BANG!
SHATTER!...
POINT!
ZOOM!
Destroying one, several more followed its lead as the young mage sent the rest of the icicles as the rat's attention shifted from the boy to the ice.
GUNFIRE!
SHATTER!
CLICK!-
CLICK!-
CLICK!
He spent his magazine on shattering every last piece of frozen water as the multiple clicks of an empty chamber was heard as the mage on the ground hear the telltale sound as well.
JUMP!-
ICE PLATFORM!
LAUNCH!
Using his magic, he created a platform of ice to push him off the ground right as he jumped, boosting the power of his jump by a significant margin had he just hopped off the ground.
"TAKE THIS!"
FREEZE!
Domio reeled his fist after covering it in ice as he neared the rat, utilizing his moment of perceived weakness to deliver a direct hit to his adversary, taking the chance. He neared his opponent in the span of a few seconds as his body shot forward thanks to the additional propulsion.
"Like that's gonna happen, chump!"
ELBOW!
SHATTER!
BOOM!-
"Wah!" Screamed the child with pain as his fist was challenged, overpowered, and flung along with the rest of his body as he flew into the undamaged forest as the booming shockwave dragged his person into the wilderness.
RUSTLE!
RUSTLE!
SNAP!
"AGH!"
Tumbling through some bushes and bouncing off the grassy ground, he soon stopped when he hit the dead center of a wide tree, the force he hit the trunk causing it to snap from the pressure as he flinched on impact.
RELOAD...!
EQUIP!
ACTIVATE!
"Oh boy... He's in the trees. Never considered becoming a lumberjack before. Let's see if I can add anything to my resume." Turning on his hilt after reloading his gun before switching it for his hilt as the yellow knife blade construct made its return.
DIVE!
FLY!
SWERVE!
TURN!
Nosediving into the trees, he moved with a burst of speed before spreading his wings and twisting around several trees before his eyes locked on the kid mage as he let his blade raise to his side as he prepared to swing.
CHILL!
The boy sensed a bone-chilling sensation on his back from his jugular circling his nape and making the rounds around his adam's apple as it make his skin crawl from the severity.
ROLL!
SLICE!
COLLAPSE!
Rolling under a slice, the tree behind him divorced itself from the ground as it ascended into the air before crashing to the ground as Warechu stopped himself, realizing he missed.
"Get back here!" He shouted, making a beeline for the Loweean as he stuck out his blade.
EXTEND!
The blade extended as it pierced through several trunks, the bio-electrical properties causing the wooden objects to ignite due to the constant exposure of lightning as it rushed to the child party member's position.
CHILL-
"!"
ICE SPELL!
SKATE!
ZOOM!-
PIERCE!
HALT!...
Not even waiting for the feeling to register fully, Domio stretches his arm and fired an ice spell to propel his body, creating ice under his feet as well to boost his maneuverability as he rocketed out of the way half of a second before the blade stabbed through another tree that was behind him, igniting it as the electricity did not travel any further.
"STOP BEING A RUNNER!" Shouted the ASIC member as he dug into his pockets once more.
THROW!
SPAWN!
"What?!" Domio was caught off-guard as he stopped, not sure of what was happening at that present moment.
Fishing out some Monster Discs, like the ones he used back in Rebeat Resort he threw them down on the ground near the by as he stopped.
Out of the three discs he threw, one monster appeared to be the same Fenrir from before, yet it looked bigger than before, with its teeth bared and growling aggressively as its eyes, one with a scar over it glared at the shorter child.
Another was a Grandogoo, its size dwarfing even the Fenrir as it bobbed in place, looking at the boy with its species' trademark goofy expression. Surprisingly, this made both its mood and intentions unreadable, which unnerved the boy.
The third and final monster was something the Loweean was all too familiar with. Before him floated a Killachine, exactly like the one back at the World Labyrinth except for the palette being in ASIC's colors sporting black, yellow, and red in respective parts of its metallic exterior.
Some trauma sank into his mind as he broke into a sweat, before rebounding when he realized that it wasn't the only thing he had to worry about when Warechu's voice was heard.
"That should stop you from tucking tail, chu. Unnevening the odds feels so good. You ain't winning this fight, punk. Four to one is a fool's errand, chu!" Berated the mutated rat as he took out his UMP45 from his other hand as he stood on the only other direct exit path as the ice mage was completely surrounded.
It was to the point that even wild monsters upon seeing the presence of three larger monsters warded their urges to investigate what was going on for fear of being attacked.
"That's not fair! You're cheating!" He accused the bowl-cut rodent as he used all the leftover courage he had in him to not stutter, let alone piss himself.
"Life's not fair, kid. Expecting fairness from a bad guy is why you're gonna die here." A smug look beamed from the anthropomorphic rodent as he pointed his submachine gun toward the child.
Domio was stuck in a rut. Alone, outnumbered, literally outgunned, and in an environment that he had no idea of. Monsters that towered over him were ready to end his free trial of life, and an ASIC member that wasn't a pushover was the last thing he wanted to fight currently as he looked around, surrounded by hostiles.
Only one option was available for him as any other confrontational or non-confrontational action such as running or fighting would get him killed in seconds.
CROUCH!
PALM!
MAGIC CIRCLE!
Slapping the ground with his hand, he summoned a magic circle that was wider than anything he made before, just before reaching any of his enemies as they moved back.
"Nice try, chump!"
"VRRRRR!"
"GROWL!"
"DOGOO!"
All four enemies said their piece as they moved away from the circle.
"This isn't meant for you!"
FREEZE!
ASCEND!
"The heck, chu?" Warechu was lost. It then clicked as he saw a LARGE area of ice suddenly manifest from the center of the circle before it quickly ascended as it rose past the trees and became the tallest object in the vicinity, sparing a couple of mountains here and there.
"THAW!"
ABSORB!
Placing both hands on the surface of the ice platform, it melted as it was absorbed into his hands as an ethereal blue glow as he fell from his height.
"You can't hide, brat!"
GUNFIRE!
Pointing and pulling the trigger, Warechu fired at the tower, aiming towards its pinnacle as the bullets raced up from the base, multiple bullet holes indented as the crumpled shells inserted themselves as the trail raced up the structure.
FREEZE...!
His armor also started to form, Domio's arms having the magic circles on either side cover them as the detailed version that MAGES. taught him was donned, going down his torso and legs, down to his feet.
Blue mana-filled eyes replaced the brown irises he had, as his face became coated in the armor, his goggles being left out as he neared the ground.
RAPID-FIRE!-
DEFLECT!
DEFLECT!
DEFLECT!
DEFLECT!
Bullets bounced off of his armor, the composition of his ice superior to the one he created. Snarling at the ineffectiveness of his rounds, the rat conserved them as he put away his rifle for now.
FLIP!
LAND!
BOOM!...
Flipping into the superhero landing that caused a noisy boom on impact as dust scattered in a ring fashion around him, he got up with the slight stinging sensation on his hand and knee before he glared at the ASIC member, speaking once more as he pointed a finger in his direction.
"You're not gonna beat me! Not without a fight!"
"PROCESSING STATEMENT... CENTRAL PROCESSING UNIT SENSORS DEFINE REASONING FICTITIOUS."
"GROWWWWWL!"
"DOGOOOOOOOO!"
He announced as the monsters around him growled and insulted him. He truly wanted to crawl into a hole in the face of such hardship, but something deeper was causing him to become irritated instead.
"Put your money where your mouth is, chump!-"
SKATE!-
While testing the boy's gall, he almost didn't see the space between them close near instantly as he was able to come a hair's breadth to completely blindsiding the mutant as his hand was outstretched in front of his face, a magic circle in front of it.
"Cold Bolt."
VANISH!
ICE SPELL!
FREEZE!
As Domio uttered the words, a sound of instantaneous-like movement was heard as the target evaded as the spell escaped in the form of a stream of ice rather than its simple bolt format as the line of trees that were standstill behind the rodent were all encased in ice inches thick as a cold, shivering cold breeze came over the area of effect.
REAPPEAR!
"How did he get so fast?!"
"Einfrieren!"
PEW!
DODGE!
Still stunned by the shocking speed as he reappeared a distance away next to two of his summons, he had to also dodge another attempt at his HP bar as the boy pointed his finger and fired a more compact and comparably weaker, yet much faster version of his original spell.
FREEZE!
SHATTER!
Dashing to the side, the beam froze the boulder that was near the three of them as it became a complete ice structure, going further than encasing its target with a regular Cold Bolt. In mere moments, the rock shattered into a million pieces, surprisingly giving the at first weak attack a sense of fatality attached to its effects.
"SNARL!"
POUNCE!
Fenrir's patience was wearing thin, so it finally took action, lunging towards the armored child, its jaw wide open, ready to crunch the bones of the brat that it was summoned to fight.
"?!"
GRAB!
"!... Ugh..."
Gripping each frontal tooth on its upper and lower jaw, the ice mage held its mouth open, his face bringing at the awful breath the monster had as it breathed a hefty huff as it vigorously tried to slam its mouth shut, the boy's hands shaking as he struggled to keep it's mouth open.
"DOGOO!"
BOUNCE!
ゴゴゴゴ!
The Grandogoo beside him saw an opportunity and was going to take it, in an attempt to land on him and absorb Domio into its body mass before dissolving him, the monster bounced straight ahead towards the preteen as its goofy face gained a menacing gleam as it approached.
"Sandwich the brat!" Cheered Warechu as his two Monster Disc summons were working to the boy's detriment.
FREEZE!
"RAAAH!"
SWING!
SMASH!
"ARF!" Whimpered the giant wolf, experiencing stinging pain on its side and backside.
"DOGOO!" Hollered the large jello monster with the entire front side of its mass being stonewalled into a flat shape before being rebounded at record speeds.
SPLATTER!...
...REFORM!
"D-Dogoo..." It stuttered, ditzed.
Becoming lunch was not a part of the Loweean's bucket list, so instead of standing and waiting to become human puree, he froze the entire jaw of the Fenrir before swinging its body into its gelatinous compadre as the massive blob splattered on the face of a tree before reforming, dizzied.
SWING!
Domio continued, heaving the giant wolf into the air with his superhuman magic-fueled strength.
HEAVE!
SLAM!
SHATTER!
CRACK!
Swinging the wolf down onto the ground, shattering not only the ice but by proxy both every tooth in its mouth as well as considerably damaging its jaw, several dozens of rocks flew up in the air as the ground itself spider cracked from the impact as the feral beast twisted away from the recoil.
"Holy shit!" Warechu was in disbelief as the once easy-to-target child showcased the power that may even give him some trouble as he looked towards his final summon.
"Turn him into mincemeat!" Pointed the evolved lab rat as the robot responded in then.
"AFFIRMATIVE! HIS FLESH WILL BE BUTCHERED AND HIS BONES WILL BE GROUND."
FLOAT...!
Replied the robot as it floated towards the boy, crossing its weapons with the intention to attack.
CHILL!-
SIDESTEP!
SLASH!
SKID...!
The Loweean's instincts warned him in the sense of an incoming attack as he sidestepped out of the way of a cross slash as he slid back before addressing the death robot.
"A Killachine..." Memories of how he cowered before its kind back in Lowee came back in full force, a quick flash of the sealed variation flashing over his eyes before being thrust back to the present.
"YOU SHALL PERISH."
THRUST!
Equipped with back propulsion devices, it boosted forth as it reeled its mace to slice open the boy's form.
Still mentally distant from the recollection, he came back down to earth just in time to be hit with an ungodly cold sensation on the entire left side of his body as he saw the weapon centimeters from his body.
GRAB!-
FLASH-FROZEN!
SHATTER!...
Touching the rounded side of the weapon, he worked to suit by freezing the entire object before letting it hit him, completely shattering the tool on his body as its pieces flew everywhere, to the shock of not only Warechu but the other monsters as well, the Fenrir's damaged jaw-dropping and the Grandogoo acquiring comical saucer-like eyes.
OVERHEAD SLICE!
It swung its other weapon, a direct overhead as it did not want its other weapon to succumb to the same fate as its initial one.
CLASP!
Grabbing the flat side of the weapon with both hands, the Loweean effectively stopped all motion in the swing as he held it on place as the machine could go no further.
"RELEASE YOUR CAUSE OF DEATH, CHILD." The robot almost demanded, its automated voice showing signs of irritation as it made mechanical sounds faintly resembling frustration.
"Hey, you need to chill out."
MAGIC CIRCLE!-
FREEZE!
Utilizing yet another magic circle that appeared on the ground around the two individuals, the entire robot was reduced to a frigid statue encased in ice as it was motionless, the boy smiling at his first pun.
"He froze him completely! What the hell!?" Lost did not begin to describe the thoughts the mutant rat had bouncing around in his mind as he observed his target's competence.
DASH!
DASH!
UPPERCUT!
CRACK!-
BREAK!
Rushing forward before kicking up, the preteen brought a fist that rose from the depths of hell to completely obliterate the mechanical menace. Ice flew everywhere as the scrap metal encased in the ice whirred to a quiet stillness, the machine rendered unresponsive.
"I did it!" Cheered the boy as his uppercut morphed into a fist pump as he beamed to the ground as the faces of the shocked monsters and the peeved rodent as he shouted at the airborne target.
"MY KILLACHINE! DAMN IT, THAT WAS A PROTOTYPE, TOO! YOU KNOW HOW MUCH A DEATH ROBOT COSTS!" Complained the rodent as he knew that was most likely coming out of his paycheck.
"I'm not apologizing to someone who's trying to kill me!"
STRETCH!
MAGIC CIRCLE!
Replied the boy as he outstretched his hand, a magic circle forming in front of it.
"ARTIC BOLT!"
BLUR!-
FREEZE!
His body became nothing more than smeared color and lines of speed, his raw agility soared him from becoming an icicle as the immediate area was covered in ice as a magical pressure was felt as the floor below it depressed from the energy forced down upon it.
"I missed!"
CHILL!
REMATERIALIZE!-
CLOCK!
SHATTER!
Appearing in front of the boy as he slowed down, just enough to let the child see his fist crash into his face as his helmet decided that it and Warechu's knuckles needed a break.
Literally.
BIFF!
POW!
WHAM!
BOOM!
Warechu continued to piece up the boy, sending a blinding hook that made his head twist before a gut punch in the same direction he turned lurched the minor, before he was uppercut in his chin as upper body reeled back before a spin kick in the back sent him flying.
CRASH!
Domio landed in a thicker area of the forest as he had several fist indent marks on his armor as his chin was busted as his nose was twisted the wrong way.
"Ow... Again?... M-My nose!" He screamed as the Loweean touched the twisted face fracture. It was harder to breathe through it, not to mention the blood leaking down a nostril.
"DOGOOOOOO!"
A loud cry reached the ice user's ears, he was privy to the sound of the approaching monster as it bounced into view, hurriedly so as it was getting ever more hungry.
"Crap... The Dogoo!"
"Einfrieren!"
PEW!
Domio pointed, before shooting another ice spell towards it.
WARP!
FREEZE!
"No way!"
But the sizable mass of blue giant jelly monster dog sentience warped its entire midsection to form a donut shape, dodging the beam completely as it let the attack whirr down the path of trees, freezing something miscellaneous.
"GOOEY!"
CHARGE...!
SP could be felt concentrating into the monster as it reformed, the magically aware child sensing such a phenomenon as he became on-edge.
"Frozen Fortitude!"
FREEZE!
EXPLODE!
BOOM!
GUST!
Erecting a frozen structure at the last second, the Grandogoo used moves signature to all of its kind but combined EX Gust and Explosion to create Detonation, ejecting all of its magical reserves in a highly destructive explosion that was bolstered by the winds increasing the magnitude with its share of SP plus the windy properties being added to what would've been a regular shockwave which the boy that stood before it braved, but not without trouble.
CRACK...!
CRACK!...
CRACK!-
BREAK!
"Dang it!"
GUARD!...
The wall shattered before long, and the blue-eyed boy was left to guard against the winds as they died down.
CHIP!
GASH!
SLICE!
His armor was whittled as he endured, several chunks being ripped off his body as his exposed face received several gashes from the wind pressure. This experience affirmed that Dogoos were not to be underestimated by the young mage.
Finally, the wind was no longer a threat as the Dogoo stood for a moment...
BOUNCE!
CHARGE...!
Before taking its next move, being to completely crush the boy a blob. It soared into the air before trying to land on him, preparing another Explosion, by itself this time.
MAGIC CIRCLE!
"Cold Bolt!"
FREEZE!
Its lower half completely encased, the hot saw its falling speed was significantly slowed by the opposing force as the spell almost had enough momentum to stall the monster.
EXPLODE!
WOOSH!
Using its SP Skill, it harnessed the explosion's kinetic energy to not only destroy the ice that contained it but also rapidly increase the velocity at which it fell towards the child with which a loud, low-pitched whistling sound could be heard.
"Agh! It broke through!"
CHILL!
LEAP!
CRASH!-
HANDSTAND!
FLIP!
HANDSTAND!
LAND!...
Feeling the cold sensation all over, the boy moved back before he could be flattened as the ground he once stood on cracked from the pressure as rocks flew up, the Loweean flipped into several handstands before sliding to a halt, surprised that he was even able to do that.
"Woah...!"
BOUNCE!
ZOOM!
He marveled at his apparent acrobatics before snapping back up at the Grandogoo as it bounced forward, coiling before stretching ahead as its massive gelatinous body hurled towards him.
DODGE!
EXPLOSION!
The monster exploded as he missed, redirecting his path towards the boy once more as he twisted his body to see that the slime was still charging him as the face of dopey death approached ever closer.
PUNCH!
FOLD!
As he threw his fist when the fist reached the Dogoo, it folded its body to let the first move forward as the boy threw his body weight into the straight punch, with no hope of pulling it, and therefore his body back.
'It's gonna get me!...' He assumed the worst before he got an idea at the last second.
FREEZE!
ICE SPELL!
BOOM!
Encasing his hand in one of his gauntlets, he shot an ice spell with his other hand, pushing his body further into the monster's personal space, faster than it could accommodate for the object moving before slamming his fist into its body as a thunderous boom resonated, Domio recoiling as the large beast was sent flying, its eyes bugged.
SPLATTER!
"Blizzard Burst!"
ICE BEAM!
FREEZE!-
Out of his hand shot forth a blue icy beam of magic that rushed ahead to strike the splattered monster, stopping it in its tracks as the target, as well as the boulder it was on became frozen as well.
RUSH!
SKATE!
"UOOOOOOH!"
Boosting forward by kicking off the ground with his magically boosted leg strength, the preteen skated on the ice that he made as he closed the gap with his gauntlet winded back once again.
MAGIC CIRCLE!-
ENLARGE!
"SUBZERO SMASHEEEEER!"
CRASH!
MANA EXPLOSION!
Subzero Smasher did more than what the boy intended after applying the magic circle principle to it, the first being filled with magical energy instead of just being expanded with additional mass. When the fist which was equivalent to the boulder's size neared, upon contact the spell shattered, but not without a burst of magical force that reduced the gelatin monster to a fragmented corpse alongside the frozen pieces of rock.
WOOSH!-
BAM!
SHOCKWAVE!
Landing back on the ground, his ears picked up the sound of ludicrously quick movement before he felt his chest being punched as the fist mark.
SHATTER!
"UAK!"
VOOM!
GUST!
"STOP KILLING ALL MY POKE- I MEAN, MONSTERS, DAMNIT!" Seethed Warechu as he heard the final boom only to see his Dogoo reduced to icy dust. Retaliation ensued with a hook to the gut that broke both the sound barrier and his enemy's chest armor as he soared in the air, a gust of pressure blowing back the trees as he flew.
FLY!
CHILL!-
BOOM!
His body was redirected from ascension to a hard left as he beelined through the sky. He felt a chill just before, the sound being kicked out of him by a nasty dropkick from the rat, using his wings to soar into the maneuver, leaving another echoing burst of pressure.
DIVE...!
SOAR!
CHILL!
FLIP!-
HIGH KICK!
SHATTER!-
DISLOCATE!
BOOM!
"ARGH!"
Swooping down as he folded his wings, Warechu leaned up as they carried the rat with all of his kinetic energy to set up the villain into a backflip before slamming his foot into the shoulder of the boy as the subsequent piece of ice armor shattered as he felt the shock as his limb was kicked out of its socket.
Another loud noise echoed as the Loweean held his shoulder in pain as he hurled through the air, an eye winded in pain as the other looked back to see where the evolved rodent was, and what he was going to do next.
WOOSH!
RAISE!
EXTEND!
"YOU'RE NOT GONNA MAKE THE CUT, CHUMP!" Shouted the ASIC member as he flew to a position the boy would eventually reach he extended his blade after activating it, raising it overhead for a massive slash.
SHIFT!-
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!" Not prepared in the slightest for the pain that he'd feel putting his shoulder back into place, a blood-curdling scream was heard as he felt tears welling up from the sensation of burning agony on his shoulder area.
"What's the matter? Gonna cry? Piss your pants, maybe? Maybe shit and-"
"SHUT UP, YOU PEST!
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!"
MAGIC CIRCLE!...
The waterworks flowing from his face due to high speed, he used his other ice arm to wind up the casting for a spell.
"YOU'RE FINISHED!"
SWING!
STATIC!
SHINE!
Yellow colored the surroundings as the blade's static danced around it, the fueling aspect of the lighting becoming unstable due to the surge it felt due to the rat's emotions. It was brought down as the mage stuck his hand forward before telling out his spell.
"Frozen Fortitude!"
ICE WALL!-
SLICE!
SHATTER!
ZOOM!
"AGH!" Domio screamed as he was punted from the force of the slash, his ice, and remaining armor on his other hand shattered, but the limb underneath remained unaffected as he just buckled from the force, being sent flying as the sky regained its usual color.
TWIST!
TUMBLE!
LAND!-
CRASH!
Sporadically tumbling in the air as he plummeted, his body soon approached a mountain top.
SHATTER!...
Using his legs, the ice mage used the last of his ice armor to brace his fall, his feet landing on the mountainside near its peak as it created a crater from his impact that kicked up dust and pebbles.
And with that, the last pieces of ice armor shattered as he was left with only his blue eyes and heightened stats. Also, his legs felt as if his kneecaps were a slight movement away from relocating from their sockets.
Not fun at all.
"GROAAAAAAAR!"
RUN!
And to make matters worse, the wolf from before, now ran up the mountain, his maw and snout bloodied as it sped up the steep incline with the intent to rip the boy to shreds.
Its master watched intently, really wanting the last monster left to finish the job, not wanting the boy to be more trouble than he expected as he floated above the final encounter.
RUSH!
SLASH!
It approached with a lunging Slash, ready to cut open the child with a powerful swing of its foreclaws.
Domio's knees still burning with pain, and the situation seemed like the end of the line. But he had yet another idea that could save his skin from becoming a Fenrir's next feast.
ICE SPELLS!
PROPELL!
HIT!
He immediately cast multiple ice spells towards the ground, letting the recoil carry him into the air right before the claws landed, and managed to get some hits on the giant wolf instead as it paused right before getting hit after missing its target.
OPEN!
GLOW...!
Growling from the attacks, the feral beast looked up before opening its mouth, as a blue light shined within it.
ICE BLAST!
An ability the Fenrir species possessed was Ice Magic, as it could conjure the element of ice from its mouth to shoot a destructive blast of magic toward its opponent, as it just did to the flying boy it targeted.
CHILL!
DODGE!
"Wah!" Domio evaded the ice spell, not expecting the wolf to be able to manipulate its SP in such a manner.
"GROWL!"
ICE BLAST!
ICE BLAST!
Two more strong ice spells escaped its mouth as they neared the child.
DODGE!
MAGIC CIRCLE!
FREEZE!
Moving away from the first one, he silently cast his Frigid Boxing before both hands were equipped with the improved gauntlets.
REACH!-
TWIST!
Next, he attempted to stop the spell with his gauntlet. The initial force only carried him higher as his body was yanked after his arm as he swiveled around the attack as he ascended further.
PULL!
MAGIC CIRCLE!
Forcing his hand, he managed to grasp the foreign ice magic and convert it into something that could be used for himself instead, thanks to using a magic circle to create a basis for the ice themes SP stealing spell.
STRETCH!
MAGIC CIRCLE!
"Icy Fractals!"
BREAK!
ICE SPIKES!
The gauntlet that the Loweean donned began to break into large pieces, being a side-effect of using the magic supply taken from the ice spell used as what should've been normal ice spikes were now magically active icicles that shared the attacking potency of the average Cold Bolt each.
DASH!
FREEZE!
HOP!
FREEZE!
RUSH!
FREEZE!
Fenrir decided that today wasn't the day it would become a victim of being frozen by ice magic, making sure this was the case by running away, around, and through the path the icicles would land just before they hit as seemingly none affected him as they froze the ground in a jagged spike manner, adding another level of danger if it crashed into one of the spikes.
"GROAR!"
ICE BEAM!
A wave of ice was released from its mouth, differing from the way that CFW Magic used her variation of the spell, with much less finesse and just as fierce. Although the beast could never compare to the leader of ASIC, its attack sure could at least put the mage on edge as the blue beam of cold energy rushed ahead.
"THAW!"
Holding the inside of the elbow of his other arm with a gauntlet on, he opened the palm of the coated hand as he braced himself for the force of the beam, preparing himself for the magical surge.
SCATTER!
MAGIC CIRCLE!
ABSORB!
...FREEZE!
As the beam made contact with his hand, it divided around the boy as a magic circle appeared before the energy was siphoned into his body, his shoulder becoming coated in the ice.
FREEZE!...
FREEZE!...
FREEZE!
ABSORB!
He continued to regain parts of his armor, the beam reducing in size until it was completely absorbed as he had all of his ice armor including the helmet as he lowered his hand once the beam was absorbed fully into himself.
AIM!
MAGIC CIRCLE!
"Schneesturm Platzen!"
PEW...!
...STUCK!
An incredibly fast small beam, identical to his Einfrieren escaped his hand once he applied the magic circle principle, as he used it on the Blizzaga Burst which caused him to say it differently as well. It struck the Dogoo, sticking it to place as it no longer could move its body.
Unbeknownst to both parties, the small beam had frozen all of its joints through magical means. This also extended to the main outlets of its SP circulation, rendering its magic otherwise sealed.
...BLIZZARD!
FLASH FREEZE!
A burst of concentrated cold wind rivaling that of a blizzard escaped his hand as it caused the entire body of the Fenrir to become not only encased in ice, yet an ice statue, as well as its entire composition, was turned into ice from the inside out. But this wasn't the attack, oh no.
MAGIC CIRCLE!
ICE BEAM!
OVERFLOW!
OBLITERATE!
EXPLOSION!
A high-pitched melodic sound was heard by the mage before a gargantuan level of ice magic was released from his hand, enough to cause it to encompass his body and expanded to reach him as it engulfed the wolf before breaking it into an icy mist and blowing away its remains with the tremendous force of SP within its composition.
The mountainside that it stood on was extensively damaged as it caused an explosion of ice spikes that scalded outward alongside chunks of the rock Domio looked on with absolute shock at what he had done with the principle MAGES. taught him. Half of the geological structure was minimized to a coarse half as it had been busted into a sheer drop from behind the boy's position.
"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" Warechu yelled in wrathful grief, all his monsters being defeated, before the might of a sniveling brat!
RUN!
LEAP!
LUNGE!
SLIDE!
SOMERSAULT!
SLICE!
Rushing to punish the brat for what he'd done, the mutant zoomed towards the boy before sprinting along a large piece of rock to jump off a piece of ice, before sliding on another large ice fragment and flipping off a piece of the mountain and slicing a big chunk of ice all too near the boy that killed his monsters.
CHILL!
"OH SHIT!"
SLICE!
Upon the child, all Domio could do was curse aloud before he was slashed, the lightning smashing into his armor and denting it as he was pushed once more.
FWOOM!
"Ack! Not this time, you jerk!"
ICE SPELLS!
Screamed the kid as he volleyed some nameless ice spells toward the rat as he used both hands to send the attacks his way.
TWIRL!
FLY!
TRAIL!
Spinning as he turned, Warechu stayed clear of the numerous spells as he was followed by them although he outpaced the projectiles with ease.
EQUIP!
CHARGE!...
GUNFIRE!
SHOCK!
He stopped spinning before pulling out his UMP45 and firing back at the boy, the bullets sparking with electricity as they zoomed towards the airborne mage as he used his bio-electricity and caused an imbalance within the jolt to create bio-static charged projectiles.
Using the object that was fired being the bullet, .45 ACP rounds, although the metals themselves weren't magnetic, they still produced an EM field that was utilized with the mutant's lightning which gave the bullets an electrokinetic value as they zoomed out the barrel with shocking speed as they were bio-electronically charged, yet electromagnetically influenced to move in a straight line, towards the child before him.
Not only were the bullets MUCH faster, but gained an electrifying affinity, to the point they looked like jagged beams of energy as opposed to an invisible object until they hit something.
Wesker's PowerPoint in electrical knowledge did wonders once bribed with luxury cheese and a potential rank increase.
Couldn't explain it for shit, though.
DENT!
DENT!
DENT!
Loads of shells made their way toward the boy and struck him. The electric properties did nothing to shock or paralyze him due to his necklace, but the concentrated ramming power of a metal object the size of a jawbreaker moving at the speed of everyone kung-fu fighting packed one hell of a punch.
So much so, that it not only dented the armor AGAIN but felt like a bullet train gave him a sucker punch each strike as he convulsed from the bullets.
Being shot through the sky was not something that the Loweean expected to experience, but as his body was repeatedly thrust forward by shell after shell, it was a reality he learned to despise.
FREEZE!
DENT!
DENT!
DENT!
WOOSH!
Attempting to use a quickly constructed ice shield, it was made in the shape of a large mostly flat cuboid, with several inches of thickness that was constantly receiving an influx of SP that was wrapped around his arm as he continued to be pushed back by the bullets each one leaving a massive crater with spider cracks each time it hit as the casings lodged themselves within it.
"Block this!" Yelled Warechu as he used his bio-electricity to create a parallel positive and negative current outside the barrel of his gun with one going towards the muzzle, and the other towards the hammer.
Sending a driving current through as he pulled the trigger, using a couple of scientific analogies and forces such as the Lorentz force (Which he ironically retained a rat's ass of knowledge past 'spinning electromagnetic fields') and Fleming's Left Hand rule being applied to the bullet itself, as well as using electromagnetism to force the hammer to slam into the bullet as the current returned to create a round of terrifying power.
"Railgun."
BA-KOOM!
BRIGHTEN!
SCATTER!
Light expanded from the muzzle as the clouds parted immediately, a deafening roar escaping the weapon as everything became blinding amounts of yellow for the two combatants. Amps that were unheard of, easily exceeding the tens of millions were utilized and released.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH!"
MELT!
Feeling the agonizing sensation of heat, it was to the point that even his ice armor couldn't handle it and started to melt under the intense pressure of Warechu's EXE Drive.
His ice shield had been reduced to an evaporated shadow of its former self as his ear lost its hearing from the proximity of the ludicrously powerful round that exited the chamber of the UMP45 that the ASIC member possessed.
That went for the ground beneath them as well, a large molten crater of destruction left in the bullet's wake as it evaporated any body of water, as well as solid objects before leaving a mass of melted rock in its wake. This extended to the ocean as well, a large line of billowing steam as the waters fell back into the vacancy of water caused by the attack, the projectile long departed from the planet's atmosphere.
Heaps of dust pushed to either side of the path of ruin the dust left behind floated as static ran through the molten areas. Domio, still airborne from the previous attacks was completely traumatized by the power that was wrought from an otherwise unsuspecting gun, with his armor melted and half of his hearing gone, slowly returning. The hairs on his body were raised as first-degree burns were present on the side of his neck and shoulder, the fabric of his garbs situated there being evaporated off his body with his ice protection.
His breathing hitched as he still found it an arduous task to speak, let alone move. He stayed suspended, as the rat spoke.
"I aimed a little to the left just to scare him, but I didn't expect the Railgun to do... This." Even Warechu was unnerved by the destructive capability of his ability as he marveled at the wanton decimation of the environment, breathing heavily as he exerted himself way more than he thought he would.
He only knew of the move's effects in theory, but to see it in action was something else.
His multi-colored eyes then shifted to the boy he was battling.
"Whoa. You sure look like you pissed yourself, kid." He noticed the near-catatonic state Domio was in. "I missed on purpose, but you still look like a deer in headlights, chu." He pointed out.
PLUMMET!
Physics finally taking its job seriously, the Loweean fell from such a height as he approached the molten floor.
"It ain't so bad, chu. Just means I could've killed you at any time. Speaking of which..." He pointed the gun towards the falling preteen.
CLICK!
"Oh come on!" Griped the furry as he loud shout snapped the kid back to reality as his shrunk eyes became their normal size again as he registered that he was falling.
"Oh no!"
FREEZE!
Sending a spell to the lava, it created a platform that quickly melted under the heat as it was becoming an unstable surface by the second.
LAND!
JUMP!
MELT!...
As his feet touched the ice, he sprung off of it onto flat, non-melted land as it was a relatively clear area with some trees and mountains around a clear opening. It extended far enough from the crevice created by the EXE Drive that it was a bearable temperature.
SKATE!
SLIDE...!
"I can't let the fight go on much longer. Who knows what other tricks he has under his sleeve?" Domio spoke under his breath before seeing the reloaded gunpoint in his direction.
"Railgun!" He shouted, and an almost mocking expression on his face as he pulled the trigger.
CHILL!
Domio froze in fear before the familiar cold sensation kicked in and snapped him out of it, prompting him to attack with his SP Skill.
"Einfrieren!"
PEW!
FREEZE!
The UMP45 was encased in ice before any bullet could exit the muzzle, the beam of ice energy coming in clutch to save the boy from what would've been instant death as he sweated bullets from the thought of being in the direct brunt of the attack once more, the luxury of intentionally missing a fading memory.
"You damn brat!"
CRUSH!
Seething as his gun was rendered useless, the mutant crushed the ice statue that was once his rifle.
CRASH!
CRACK!...
Touching down with his feet as the ground shuddered under his force, he stood up before cracking his gloved knuckles.
"You're gonna get put on a T-shirt for that, chump. Not like you weren't already going to die, but that's just my 13th reason." Referencing multiple media, Warechu moved his neck from side to side, some popping being heard as he did so.
"I'll win this rat race!" Responded the boy.
"That doesn't even make any sense." A blank face appeared on the ASIC member's features.
"What? It makes sense! We're competing over a victory! You're trying to KILL ME!" Exasperation came over the child's face as he pointed out the obvious.
"... On second thought, it works." He mulled over the metaphor.
"My friends will come to get me before that, though! Even if I can't beat you. They will!" Domio pointed a finger, confident in the power of friendship.
SLAM!
BOOM!
"Urk...!"
"Hope your friends are good gravediggers." Spoke the evolved rodent, moving so fast that he became a blurry image surrounded by speed lines before stooping the moment his fist made contact with the chest cavity of the child with the shockwave being emitted from the preteen's body.
"Or else they'll never find the body, chu." He continued, the spit that originally flies out of Domio's mouth being replaced with a salivating pool that slowly leaked out.
"Whoever believes in that friendship mumbo-jumbo needs a reality check. So that includes you, chump!" The mutant called out to the boy as he slowly moved his hand, about an inch away from where he just struck, extending his fingers to make contact with the area.
SPARK!
PUNCH!
BOOM!
"AAACK!"
Using his bio-electricity to increase the reactionary time the neurons within his arm shortening the time it took to move, alongside his already augmented speed and mutated strength, increased the muscle twitch of his limb when he jerked his hand forward into a closed fist as a one-inch punch of supernatural proportions knocked the kiddo's socks off.
SMASH!...
COLLAPSE!
Indenting himself into the side of a wall of rock, he fell out of the crater in his shape face-first onto the floor.
DASH!
CHILL!
KICK!
SLAM!
"Khh!" Domio grit his teeth before they clattered, his chin being kicked into the air and his body bouncing off the wall again as Warechu ran up to him before sending it airborne.
GRAB!
THRUST!
CRASH!...
Before the boy's body could crumple to the ground again, the ASIC member grabbed him by the face and pushed his skull into the wall, his vision swimming for a few seconds before another burning sensation could be felt.
BIFF!
"Uak...!"
"When are your friends gonna come save you, huh?" Goaded Warechu, before using his other hand to beat the wind out of the child's diaphragm.
WHAM!
"Unf!" Blood escaped the cracks between his clenched teeth as Domio winced. Chips of rock flew from behind him, the kinetic energy of the punch passing through him and onto the wall from the sheer pressure.
POW!
"Urak!" A rib was definitely broken as it not only fractured but also stuck one of his lungs in the process as it became significantly harder to breathe for the boy because of this.
"You sure got some great friends if they're taking this long to come to get you."
STATIC!...
Warechu retracted his hand before it crackled with electricity.
"Shinkeishitsunaken!"
BARRAGE!
The once stationary arm suddenly disappeared, only the sensation of being nailed in the torso over and over again remained visible to the child as his eyes went white with pain, the repeated strikes sparking with static each time they connected.
TREMBLE...!
RUMBLE!...
...TREMOR!
DUST!
The ground quickly increased in magnitude until it was violently shaking from the force of the fist's impact as the wall behind Domio shuddered with power and dust blew behind the two as the attack raged on.
Warechu continued before stopping, holding the boy's head high as he continued his conversation.
"Or maybe MY friends killed them first. So much for your friendship, chump."
SQUEEZE!
Belittled the rat furry as he applied pressure to the ice user's head.
"AAAAAAAAAHHH!" Screamed the mage in agony as his skull was not enjoying the force being exerted onto it.
"I know you and the reaper can be good friends, though. I'll set up a playdate right now!"
ACTIVATE!
Taking back out his handle, it became an energy blade once more as it extended to its normal length.
"You might even meet all your other friends that you're waiting for? Hahaha!"
SWING!
A cheeky, yet sinister chuckle escaped the furry's lips before he went to swing for the magic student's burnt side of his neck.
SLICE!-
...
...
TRICKLE...!
Blood was spilled as the blade seeped into the skin of the boy's neck muscles as it gushed ionized blood.
S-STRUGGLE!...
"?..." Warechu was stumped, his bio-blade not bursting any further than a couple of centimeters.ゴゴゴゴ!
His multi-colored eyes soon widened, however, as he saw the frenzied look that the child had on his face, specifically the sots that should be called his pupils and the bloodstained teeth and dried-up broken nose only adding to the visage.
"YOU TAKE THAT BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACK!"
BLIZZARD!
Raising his voice to levels only reached when wrathful, Domio screeched to the heavens as his eyes locked on the mutant that managed to infuriate him so. The aura of SP that generated froze the ground beneath him as it spread, caused by the blast of cold wind that emitted from his flux of emotion as Warechu found it difficult to keep holding on to the boy's head, his hand becoming encased as well.
"Ah crap!" Unprofessionalism shined through as he unintentionally made his once manageable opponent ferociously berserk by a simple exchange of words.
GRIP!
"What-"
SWING!
BOOM!
Pulling the hand by the wrist away from his face, the evolved rodent witnessed a bare fist reeled back like a champion fisherman before being blasted by naked knuckles as the punch sent him tumbling. The rat's face bent into itself from the punching power as he flailed before becoming the real-life equivalent of one of those software engines with ragdoll physics.
STAB!
SKID!...
Driving his blade into the ground, he halted his skidding as Warechu looked up to see what had just hit him. Indentation and scratches on his face that gradually healed, he inspected the boy from before.
BLEED...!
FREEZE!...
MIST...
The red substance dripping to the ground, the ice user managed to bust his knuckles on the face of the furry as his ice crawled back up from his feet to his entire body, before coating it in the armor once more. Icy mist flowed from it's recent formation as the boy walked towards the downed mutant with indignation on his mind.
"Take back what you said about them...!" Snarled the boy as his eyes glowed with SP, his anger towards the rat only rising as he approached. "Or I'll make you pay dearly! Du dreckige ratte!" Uttering the mysterious tongue, his ire sweltered with each word.
"You think throwing a tantrum's gonna do anything, chu?!" Spat the rat as he got to his feet. "Go ahead, cry because I'm right, pussy!" Laughed the evolved specimen as he gripped his bio-blade.
"PUSSIES EAT YOU ALIVE, DUMBASS!"
MAGIC CIRCLES!
FREEZE!
SKATE!
Fumed the preteen as he used the Magic Circle Principle to summon his gauntlets as he hollered a naturally true fact. Skating on manifested ice under his soles, he rushed to close the gap.
"YOU MOTHERFUCKER!"
STEP!
ZOOM!
His intelligence insulted with a zing of a comeback, the rat worked quickly to shut the tantrum having child as he gripped his blade akin to a sword before rushing ahead.
SWING!-
SWING!-
REPULSE!
BA-KOOM!
DISCHARGE!
COLD GUST!
Of course, upon contact, the two attacks clashed briefly before pushing each individual away from the epicenter. But not without causing their element's effects behind them with Warechu's being a wave of static spreading in unison as opposed to Domio's, which looked to be a gust of high-velocity wind that was freezing due to being laced with the miasma of his expended SP.
POINT!
EXTEND!
REAR!
The ASIC member tried to take advantage of the distance and stab an eye out of the ice user's socket by extending his blade to reach in-between the opening visible, only for the boy's head to rear to the side the moment he felt a chill on the center of his face.
MAGIC CIRCLE!
Aiming his palm towards the fleeting rat, Domio prepares to fire a spell at the relatively predictable path of the rodent as he got ready to shout the name of the SP Skill.
"C-"
APPEAR!
SMACK!
ELECTROCUTE!
"GYAAAH!" Screamed the child, his opponent not even giving him the chance to utter the name of the spell before slapping his flank with the flat side of his blade, feeling a jolt of bio-electricity run up his spine as he was pelted by the force.
CRASH!-
EXTEND!-
FLIP!
PIERCE!
HANDSTAND!
LAND!
Smashing into the ground, the bio-blade rushed forward as its length increased to stab the boy before he did a handstand and flipped out of the way, turning around as he landed.
CHILL!
DROP!-
SWING!
A cold sensation plagued the upper body of the child before he dropped down on all fours to avoid a seeing from the extended lightning knife as another swing came forth in the form of a follow-up slash.
RAISE!...
STATIC!
After missing twice in a row, the mutant growled before raising his elongated blade into the air, prepping for a heaving downward slash.
"FROZEN FORTITUDE!"
ICE DOME!
SWING!
Right as the concentrated weapon of static destruction was brought down, the ice wizard created a thick glacier dome to protect himself as it rose from around him and closed at the apex when completed.
SMASH!-
DISCHARGE!
SHATTER!
RECOIL!...
Warechu's strength did wonders to completely destroy the shield but at the cost of ultimately missing a third time due to it being enough to completely subvert the force used to attack in its destruction. Another wave of bio-electricity went off as fragments of the some flee in all directions as a wary ice mage stared at the effects for a bit.
REACH!
HALT!
MAGIC CIRCLES!
Sticking his hand out, he managed to pause the movement of all the ice shards that were still airborne, which exceeded a hundred.
GLOW!
Using the SP that was still a part of their fragments, he repurposed them into numerous Cold Bolts by utilizing their remnants of magical energy into slightly weaker due to the defect compared to the usual spell, but their numbers more than made up for such a trivial inconvenience in comparison.
"Hah!"
RAIN OF BOLTS!
Immediately, simultaneously, and relentlessly, the collection of spells rocketed to the ASIC member's position as he retracted his blade.
SLICE!
SLASH!
CUT!
CHOP!
DICE!
SWING!
His eyes looked over each icy projectile and registered it to his peripheral before dispatching each crystal with accuracy and effectiveness that was able to easily outstrip the speed of the spells long before they got anywhere past the sharp side of his knife. Before long, the last crystal had been cut into nothing but a cold mist as he swiped his weapon to the side as he unconsciously flexed his boastful reaction time.
SWING!
This even extended to looking ahead, to see no one there before peering down to witness a crouching ice wizard, extended with a fist clenched and ready to rock the rat's world with an uppercut that could file a tax return from the rodent's dentist.
ELBOW!
SHOCKWAVE!
THUD!
"Argh!"
But Warechu wasn't one to do his taxes, so he returned with an elbow that not only created a loud explosion of sound but also sent the child to the floor as his body sent some rocks flying from the impact.
KICK!
"ACK!-"
CHILL!-
GUARD!-
"Kyōjin' na Shinkei!"
SPARK!
STATIC PUNCH!
SHATTER!
Kicking the side of his body into the air as some chips of his armor departed, Warechu yelled out the name of his move with his entire arm sparking with electricity, visible this time around as his yellow eye also crackled with lightning.
VOOM!
SLAM!-
...COLLAPSE!-
Feeling the chill of danger, Domio guarded before the strike obliterated his icy defenses as the knockback sent him once more. His back colliding into the trunk of a tree, his landing single-handedly caused the natural structure to fall as a large crack cut the place he hit in two.
FALL!
ROLL!...
CRASH!-
ROLL!
Rolling out of the way of its path, the massive trunk smashed into the ground as it too rolled, yet in the opposite direction towards the boy's assailant.
SPRINT!
KICK!
SNAP!
Warechu closed the gap between him and the ice mage, snapping the trunk in half with a half-effort kick that sent splinters in every direction that was a part of his peripheral vision, including Domio's.
ICE WALL!
BLOCK!
JUMP!
SPIN!-
KICK!
SHATTER!
Guarding the splinters with his ice wall, it was busted into pieces by a spinning back kick from the rat as he was once again in fighting distance with the boy as he started shocked at his sudden appearance.
GRAB!
FREEZE!
TRIP!
Reaching and grabbing the shin of the extended foot of Warechu, Domio acted quickly to freeze the appendage as the palm of his hand glowed with SP as the lack of proper footing caused the anthropomorphic rat to trip on his now dogshit balance.
SUPPORT!
KICK!
"OW!"
Pressing his hand on the floor, he extended his leg to stomp on the side of the preteen's kneecap, to which an audible yell escaped the boy's lungs as his foot in an abnormal manner.
CRUMPLE!
TWIST!
SLAP!
Twisting his body as the child let go, Warechu proceeded to slap the goofy out of the ice armor wielder with his wing as the kid was forced onto his feet, stumbling as he didn't expect the somewhat unorthodox maneuver.
ELBOW!-
ZOOM!
KNEE!-
ZOOM!
CHOP!-
ZOOM!
LIGHTNING!
Moving around the boy with the intent to end his career, his speed increased to the level that nothing but yellow static rotated around the mage as he was hit repeatedly as his body staggered and waltzed into another blow every moment he was struck.
To an observer, it'd appear as if he was being beaten by a bunch of bolts.
"Omoshiroi Hone!"
LIGHTNING KICK!
CRACK!
"Tch!" Winced the young wizard as he was sent into the sky once more, his armor being cracked into as the part of his body hit felt a surge of pain, the receptors being shot with bio-electricity that mostly targeted the pain receptors instead of plain electrocution.
ASCEND!
WOOSH!
Chasing after the brat, Warechu took to the skies as he gripped his blade and winded up for a rushing slice.
CHILL!
SWING!-
STEP!
"!"
FRONT FLIP!
"Kalter Blitz!"
MAGIC CIRCLES!
Sensing the impending hazard, the mage readied himself to react when the rat swung. As he did so, the boy stepped on the blade to the rodent's surprise before kicking off it into a front flip and unfurling himself upside down to use his most basic SP Skill in the mysterious tongue, as both hands had the ethereal circles before them.
ICE BLASTS!
PROPELL!
Two concentrated blasts of ice magic, the spells taking the forms of spherical objects with mist and fractals emitting off of their forms raced towards the back of the rat. The recoil sent the boy hurling as he was launched away from the anthropomorphic rodent.
SLICE!
SEVER!
FLAP!
BURST!
Cutting the spells in half with a swing of his blade, the dark-clad rodent rushed forward after a mighty gust was left in the wake of his flapping as he rocketed forward.
ICE SPELLS!
ZIG-ZAG!
ZIG-ZAG!
FREEZE!-
LEAN!
Warechu evaded every single ice spell that was thrown his way as he approached the boy until there were mere feet apart as Domio froze a gauntlet before rushing in for a punch to the mutant's collarbone.
SWING!-
GRAB!
SHATTER!
CRACK!...
Gripping his hand once it was thrown, the ASIC member moved it to the side before he crushed it into pieces as the armor underneath it was under intense pressure, slowly cracking under the pressure as the child felt the strength behind the rat's vice grip.
"Ice is known for being fragile... So we all know where this is going." Mocked the rat as he continued to compromise the structural integrity of the armor.
POINT!
"Einfrieren!"
PEW!
Sticking out his index through a crack in the grip of the rat, the mage fired off the spell as it rushed towards him, his head veering to the side as he dodged the beam of ice magic.
SWING!-
BOOM!
"Oof!" Warechu guttered, for the first time since they were airborne as he didn't see another first coming at him while he was focused on dodging the beam as the armored hand smashed into his face with no restraint as his neck snapped back with a loud bang to boot.
"That just means it'll shatter on YOUR BONES!"
HOOK!
UPPERCUT!
JAB!
CROSS!
SIDE ELBOW!
TWIST!-
ELBOW!-
GUT PUNCH!
FREEZE...!-
"BITCH!"
POW!
Yelling in anger, his fists did the rest of the talking as a hook with his full body weight behind it led to an uppercut with the next fist before it rotated from a right jab to a left cross almost in the same beat before the child used the extended arm to push it into the mutant's face for another hit.
Using the motion and twisting, he delivered another elbow with much more extension than that extra oomph of damage, which also left the rat blind to the body blow that his right fist struck that lowered his face just enough to send a gauntlet wielding hook, throwing the evolved furry into a twist as a powerful slam could be heard as he cursed on contact.
"WHY YOU...!"
FLY!
CHARGE!
"Grr!..."
BARRAGE!
An exclamation of agitation erupted from the falling rodent's lungs before he reoriented himself and bull-rushed the boy, clutching his neck as they tore through the air.
Domio, still irate, swung wildly at the rat as he saw the after images of multiple punches from the speed that the boy threw them.
PULL!-
HEADBUTT!
SHATTER!-
SLAM!
Warechu smashed his forehead into the helmet of the boy as it broke from the force right as the back of the boy's head hit a mountainside as the rat's temples collided with his own, serving for double damage as the mountain gained a large crater as the eyes of MAGES.' student went white for a moment.
...THRUST!
MAGIC CIRCLE!
"Arktischer Blitz!"
BOOM!-
FREEZE!
CRASH!...
Eyes regaining their color as he now bled from his hairline and the back of his skull, he trusted his equipped arm to the rat's chest before using his Artic Bolt, yet in his tongue to send the furry to the ground as a sheet of ice covered his body.
GRAB!-
FREEZE!...
MAGIC CIRCLE!
"ARKTISCHER BLITZ! ARKTISCHER BLITZ!
ARKTISCHER BLITZ! ARKTISCHER BLITZ!"
BOOM!
BOOM!
BOOM!
BOOM!
"CHUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!"
FREEZE!
Freezing his hand and foot onto the mountainside, ensuring that he'd stay stationary as he continued to spam his Artic Bolt skill as Warechu was bound to the ground as each wave of cold sent him to the ground further, the spells nature making it hard to predict due to its usage of the cold rather than something visible such as ice.
To make matters worse for the once rat, each time he was hit with the spell, his body was coated in more and more ice as it got colder and colder. And on top of that fact, he found it harder and harder to resist as what would've been attempting to get to his feet were now spasms on the ground, implying that the power of the spell stacked each time it was cast.
Before long, Domio ceased as he breathed heavily, consuming a considerable amount of his SP reserves, looking towards his ring.
'If it weren't for this, I'd be spent already.' He noted, now only at half of his mana reserves. His eyes then pointed to the massive ice crystal that the rat was trapped in.
JUMP!...
LAND!
Moving towards the crystal with a mighty bound before sliding to a halt, the adopted son of Nebula stared at the state of his enemy. He looked like he wasn't moving anytime contemplated destroying the crystal and ending the rat's life. But even he didn't have the gall to take another's life with his conscious beside him, especially with what he was surrounded by in his younger years. Not to mention the last time he undid his ice, he unleashed a bloodthirsty vampire on the entirety of Leanbox.
So instead of going straight for absorption like last time, agreeing with his better judgment, he left the frozen Warechu in his place.
"The others will look for me. I'll have to meet them halfway if we wanna get the Mascot in time. I don't feel safe leaving this guy here, but I can't just make them worry." He weighed his options.
Staying here would be ideal to keep an eye on the ASIC member, in case he escaped. But he knew something bigger was going on where he was taken from, so he couldn't afford to just leave them there and stick around to monitor a borderline defeated opponent.
"... Aha! I'll just find them and tell them about it, and lead them back here! I'm sure they'll know what to do!" He gained a bright face as he beamed.
Giving the statue one last look, his path to his party began.
Turning away, he began to make distance between himself and the ice crystal. He ran towards the crevice before seeing that it became a tributary to the sea, alongside some smaller rivers as well.
"...?! This wasn't here before!... Hmm..." He thought to himself. "I wonder if I follow it, I'll be able to find my friends?" He pondered, cupping his chin as he did so.
"It's not like I have any other options besides wandering around. I think it's worth a shot."
HOP!
He decided to go through with the plan before jumping into the river.
FREEZE!-
SLIDE!
"Awesome!" Whooped the child as his feet froze the water, instead of falling right through, and soon enough, he created a small trail that increased in density and size around his feet as he surfed on the current of the water.
Meanwhile, back at the frozen furry's location...
...CRACK!
A large crack appeared in the center of the crystal. It slowly gained smaller spider cracks as the individual inside moved his hand to grip his blade.
CRACK!...
CRACK!...
CRACK!
PIERCE!
More cracks of similar size appeared around the area before the bio-blade cut through the ice after much trouble. Ice was a poor conductor of electricity, which gave it more resistance than usual, hence the longer time took to escape.
CRASH!...
PULL!...-
CRACK!-
SHATTER!...
SLICE!
COLLAPSE!
RUMBLE...!
Upon freeing himself from the ice which exploded in every direction upon the simple action of moving his arm, Warechu's knife extended to the point that it cut through the mountain before slicing it in half as the two halves collapsed on either side as the floor shook due to the impact.
This maneuver cost him nothing more than a sleeve and some embarrassment as he'd almost been neutralized by a snot-nosed brat with anger issues.
RAISE...!
"... THAT DAMN BRAT, CHUUUUUUUUUUU!"
STATIC!
GLOW!...
His bowl cut rose on its ends akin to a balloon rubbing on his head as his yellow eye glowed as the same color electricity danced around his body. The trench coat flapped around as rings of dust scattered from around him as he looked around for Domio's position.
"You won't hide from me, chump!"
SWING!
EXTEND!
SLICE!...
RAISE...!
Swinging the already elongated blade, it managed to chop every tree it came across as the length continued to grow and grow, spanning several hundreds of meters as the forest was being deforested by the second on that side of the river. The force utilized was to the point that upon being cut, the trunks continued to rise instead of plain falling over.
"Huh...?" Domio looked to the side, hearing multitudes of trees being toppled as the sound got dangerously close.
CHILL!
JUMP!
STATIC!-
LAND!...
"Holy crap!" Domio's eyes bugged as he narrowly evaded a shocking demise as he landed, spooked by the sudden appearance of the weapon.
"Wait, is that... Oh no, I gotta get to them quick!" Realizing that Warechu was free, he made haste to the end of the river, wanting anything but to meet the anthropomorphic rodent a second time.
Speaking of the furry, with his now keen eyes, he spotted the boy before yelling in response.
"YOU CAN'T RUN FROM ME, CHU!"
RETRACT!
RUSH!
STATIC!
His body coated with the occasional current, and his speed increased even more as he left a trail of the electrical interference with his flight becoming more of a terrifying blur of movement as he neared the boy.
SPRINT!
Back to said boy, sweat collected on his face as he made a mad dash, his feet stomping on the surface of the water as he didn't even expend SP to freeze it, instead sprinting on its edge with pure speed.
TACKLE!
SPLASH!
CRASH!...
Bashing his shoulder into the side of the mage's unprotected head, both combatants were underwater with the younger of the two's vision swimming as he faceplanted on the river bed.
Warechu and Domio both held their breath as they now had to kill off/get to the surface respectively in a couple of minutes.
SWIM!
GRAB!-
SLAM!
TOSS!...
Attempting to swim to the surface, two hands grabbed the armored child's ankles and swung him onto the ground before throwing him to the side. Spazzing for a bit, the preteen regained his balance before facing the rodent.
PUNCH!
SHOCK!
KICK!
SNAP KICK!-
ACE KICK!
Slapping the preteen with his fist, he sent a shock through it as it collided with his face before kicking him in the stomach, which caused some chipping as he snap-kicked his chin before axe-kicking his head as the wizard spun as a result.
JAB!-
DODGE!
GRAB!-
FREEZE!
Going for another punch, this one was subsequently evaded by the tumbling before the ice user took the chance of the miss and grabbed the neck of the mutant before freezing his body as he scrambled to the surface, swimming sporadically, against the current on top of his already strenuous conditions.
SHATTER!
STRETCH!-
ELECTROCUTE!
SHINE...!
Placing his hand in front of him and emitting a high level of voltage, electrolyte the water to the point that it turned yellow from the ionization as sparks projected from its surface as the waters raged from above as it shined, coating everything. around it in the same light.
"AAAAAARGH!" Screamed Domio, his body feeling the pain of electrocution as his armor did its best to mitigate the effect, but the cracks and his exposed head did wound him. He received several burns as he continued to heave his arms and legs, powering through the agony as if his life depended on it.
Oh, wait-
RAISE...!
ELECTROCUTE!
"PERISH!"
EVAPORATE!...
Both hands contributed to the effect, the water gained heat that was enough to melt the armor as well as scald the boy as he swam with all his might to prevent himself from ending up cooked to a crisp by the temperature of the water, not to mention the volts.
T-T-TREMBLE!
The boy's body visibly shook from the current as he felt his pain increase as he was on the verge of breaking the water's edge, losing the strength to continue, as his oxygen supply was almost depleted with the world going dark.
MAGIC CIRCLE!
"ARKTISCHER BLITZ!"
BOOM!
SPLASH!
FREEZE!
"Tch!"
Sending a bombardment of cold, the path between Warechu and the water froze before it knocked him to the riverbed as he growled as he stopped his electricity because of it. Simultaneously, Domio was launched out of the water as he did one more thing before exiting.
GASP!
FREEZE!
FLIPS!
LAND!...
As his hand left the water, he cast a spell that froze its surface from where the tributary ended to the ocean's edge where it opened to the rest of the sea. With that, he flipped multiple times before landing as he inhaled mouthfuls of air.
"Gotta blast!"
SCRAMBLE!
Almost falling from his stumble to move, the boy quickly gained speed before he left the submerged rat in his dust as he followed the frozen path he made to reach the edge of it.
Below him, Warechu was running out of air as he saw that the exit above him was sealed off, leaving him to drown if he didn't act fast.
He needed to do something fast.
SPARK!
BUBBLE...!
Raising both hands in the air, he channeled his current from his body to his palms as he focused on superheating the water. If he remembered correctly, electrolysis through the conduction of the electricity to decompose the water molecules into oxygen and hydrogen at the already high temperatures as the positively charged hydrogen became attracted to his negatively charged hands as the water bubbled around him.
And with a snap of his fingers-
SNAP!
EXPLOSION!
SHATTER!
"WAAAAAAUGH!" Domio screamed, his body being thrown into the air from the explosion as a force of propulsion sent him hurling through the air as a rise of ice was behind him, tumbling to its surface before quickly getting up and running ahead of the destruction. His body still went through some spasms from the shocks.
SPRINT!
Warechu, now above him, had a clear view of where the boy was as he pulled out his bio-blade before aiming it.
EXTEND!
CHILL!-
ROLL!
SMASH!-
RETRACT!
"Yikes!" Cried out the preteen as he was once again on the run, as he hauled ass to escape the relentless rodent, who escaped and endured everything he threw at him.
EXTEND!-
SIDESTEP!
EXTEND!-
DASH!
EXTEND!-
SOAR!
The trauma victim did all he could to evade each attempt at his life as he sidestepped to the left before dashing to the right, and outright jumping ahead before twisting around to face his pursuer.
"JUST GIVE UP ALREADY! AND STOP CHASING ME, YOU STUPID RAT!"
MAGIC CIRCLE!
SWIRL!...
He cupped his hands horizontally in front of him as a LARGE magic circle appeared before him. It was easily able to dwarf his size, appearing ten times as large as his body, ten times his height in diameter.
Mist concentrated as it gained power with all of his SP that he had to spare going into the preparation.
"I agree with ya, chump!... Let's end this game of cat and mouse once and for all!"
GRIP!
LIGHTNING!
His body released a constant discharge of lightning as he said that, his wings keeping him afloat as he channeled bio-electricity into his hilt, bowl cut flowing in the wind as the hum of power was heard.
"Kälten...!"
"Zen' no...!"
Tension in the air became thick enough to cut with a knife, if the ozone and most that circulated the two weren't enough to go by, uttering the names of their moves.
"KATOSTROPHE!"
"HENDŌ!"
BLAST OF COLD!
EXPAND!
Each move being yelled, its effects soon followed through as the invisible blast of cold met a blinding flash of light as his bio-blade expanded immediately after coursing his energy through the weapon as it reacted accordingly.
CLASH!
The EXE Drive didn't reach the rat, as from Domio's view, it was being halted by a flash of light. On the flipside, Warechu's blade's expansion was being walled off by an invisible force as the two skills clashed.
"I can't lose!" Stressed the preteen as he held his ground.
"Neither can I!" Barked the mutant as he persisted.
STRUGGLE...!
EXPAND!-
EXPLOSION!
Both fighters kept at it until the epicenter of the clash became unstable, and a slight struggle caused the contents to violently expand and engulf the duo.
"Waah!"
"Chuuu!"
UNRAVEL!
EXPAND!
The water and earth beneath them were ripped into the air from the clash as the blast expanded to reach even the ground itself. At its peak, the surrounding area became a large crater as both parties were sent hurling, with the rodent being tossed to the forest and the mage to the sea.
...SUBMERGE!
Crashing into the water again, the cold sensation instantly snapped the child back to his senses as he swam to the surface.
SPLASH!
FREEZE...!
"Hah... Hah... Hah..." He breathed heavily, fatigued from the lack of SP he now possessed.
The explosion took some of his coat with it, reducing him to a sleeveless coat that sported multiple blood stains, burn marks, and tears, not to mention being drenched by the water, and his turtleneck sleeves being somewhat frazzled and burnt as well.
His ice armor had been destroyed due to the instability of the skills, but to the looks of it, such an inconvenience didn't matter if he was the last one standing.
Looking around, he took in the scenery, being the coast that he was not too far from as he finally accomplished his short task of reaching the end of the river. The sea behind him with the pleasant sound of waves rushing towards him at a controlled and steadily rising pace before crashing on the shore brought a level of peace to his mind.
"I... I did it!" Hs cheered. A wide smile crept onto his features.
He did it!
HE ACTUALLY WON!
Domio felt like he was on top of the-
SHATTER!
PIERCE!-
"!..." Eyes widened, every muscle in the boy's body stopping as he no longer could move any of them. Alongside a burning sensation in his back and chest, the only reason he couldn't wince was his facial muscles stagnated from the pain.
"I'd say you got heart, kid. But yours ain't looking too good right now." Warechu, with his trench coat, busted open as well as having no sleeves either, his scratched and injured arms with one holding his bio-blade as it was extended through his back, narrowly missing his spine but directly impaling his heart.
"So I guess guts is the next best thing. Sure, they'll be fried in a second, but it's the thought that counts, chu."
ELECTROCUTE!
"UAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!"
STATIC!
RIPPLE!...
Lightning coursed through the mage's body as he felt the terrible pain of shock that stemmed directly through his heart to the rest of his body, screaming to the high heavens as even the water below him reacted and rippled as a result.
RETRACT!...
BLEED!-
SPLASH!
SINK!
Taking out his bio-electric weapon from the boy's chest cavity, Domio's blood gushed out the wound before he fell into the water. His eyes were glassy and blood trailed down the corners of his mouth and through his nose, his form disappeared under the water as the only person that stood on his ice was Warechu.
"Sink or swim, bozo." He peered in the last place his eyes saw the child.
"Wait a minute, there's no way he's surviving that. Sleep with the fishes, your coffin's gonna be Davy Jones' locker, chump." Smirked the furry as he broke out into villainous laughter.
"Nyehehehe- Ugh... Yeah, the laugh needs some work." He became self-aware of the atrocity that was about to leave his mouth.
"Hmm... Muahahaha-... Overdone." He denied that laugh to as Warechu was fixated on finding a good evil laugh to use.
Meanwhile, as the boy was sinking into the sea, everything felt cold as he was losing his grip on his life.
'Is this... Is this where it ends...?' Domain asked himself, floating deeper as his eyes slowly closed.
SINK!...
A/N:
Heya there, reader!
If you're seeing this, this is a rewrite of the chapter, just to correct some repetition, fix some spelling errors, and improve the spelling quality, especially in the earlier chapters.
So remember, italics and bold is going for gold.
ANOTHER chapter complete.
Things sure took a turn for the worst, haven't they? Well, get used to that. Never said I'd baby my OCs, and the main cast has yet to receive their fair share of the universal tormentor known as plot. Domio's just... Sleeping.
Our ice boy may be sinking into the darkness, but fear not! There is a light to be found!
Just flip the one in your room.
But we'll have to come back to him and Warechu because the next chapter is where things get really hectic if this one wasn't a taste of how bad things were getting already. I mean, there's already a whole gang war going on back at the cave. Well, what's left of it anyway thanks to a certain overpowered teenager. But what unfolds from there on out is soon to come! It could go either way at this point with the ways events are unfolding since ONIM can be a lot of things but predictability is something that I try to avoid most of the time without proper reasoning.
And with that, I'll end the chapter here. I got some battles and interactions planned for the next chapter and the more I talk about it, the more I risk the chance of blurting out something that may have served better to stay hidden.
But thanks for reading this chapter, it means a lot. Hope you'll read many more to come as I publish them.
Arrivederci.
Read and Review!
