316. The 'Speed' that a boy holds!

[The Eastern Duelists: Arc 14]

A 'GINKEN' a weapon which consists itself out of 'Spirituality' and extend another human's power.

These weapons are created upon a Human's birth at which point they're then known as a warrior with a title of 'Spiritual Duelist'.

Over centuries over millions of 'GINKENS' have been born and over a consistent lifespam, these weapon have became known as a tradition that many people end up knowing, their existence requires a strong body, a strong mind and a well durable body and only if a human manages to reach these specific 'importances' the 'GINKEN' will reveal itself and connect upon another's wielder Aura, which is built out of 'Spiritual Force' or in simple ways 'Pressure'.

About 75% of the world's population remain alive with such weapon and 3% of them are known to have Demon Blood, the main source that embraces up a 'Half-Demon'.

In current timeline, a woman - a Godess and the enhancer of the first 'GINKEN' appearances named 'Zero' lurks around the World with 98% of the people unaware about her, and with it, people believe that the World's finally been cleared of Demons, however many of the early-arriving Demons are still standing among the World.

"Freeze..."

- With unexpected arrival, Elliot and Kylin had been already fighting their opponents but with it, an unexpected 'Time-Skip' of a few hours awoke out of nowhere, but with 5 seconds that had been spared it appeared that there were no sights of who achieved such a chaos -

Zhao began to hop over the roof gaps but Elliot was finally on an opened area so he had no worry of using his Godspeed, when he hopped between the rooftops and lastly vaulting over a pipe and then hopping behind Zhao who was caught in fear.

"You're mine!" Elliot quickly grabbed the back of Zhao's head and dropped down toward the opened roads of where the cars were driving, upon landing his had an outstretched right arm and smashed Zhao's face into the rough cement at which point the electricity trail continued to burn out, as he was sliding through the road the cars alongside bus and taxi needed to hit on the brake and with that Elliot thoroughly dragged Zhao's face on the cement when stopping right in the middle of the cars.

The dust was slowly floating around the two while Elliot breathed quite heavily.

[Planet Earth - Innerlight City - Hororano Street - Monday, 10:41 p.m.]

Elliot who had been holding Zhao pinned on the floor believed that he had won. "I've got you, now let's get you to the prison before I kill you." But right as he said, the body disappeared in wind. "What the-" Elliot immediately turned around and noticed somebody leaping at him and with an outstretched leg smashed it into Elliot's face, kicking him backward at which point Elliot immediately was thrown into a backflip, however he quickly stretched his right arm and pressed the palm on the floor when squeezing it at the floor and then letting go, allowing himself to backflip from a one-hand stand and then landed near the edge of the fence.

"You must of have misjudged that body? If you were quick enough you would of have been aware that the body was a fake." Explained Zhao who held his flying claws.

"Well look at me, misjudged a body, you were quite easy to misjudge since you're not a girl." After angrily waking Zhao's annoyance he became serious. "In all odds, I realy just intended to destroy that generator and then get out on the opening to kill whoever I would of have needed. In this spot, you..."

"Killing me? Now that's an embarrassing thought. You wouldn't be able to catch me in a millions of years, you might have some range attacks, but you aren't really in firm body to be hopping around at light speed... Oh, my bad, not 'YET' light speed, more of a sound speed." Smiled Elliot, arousing Zhao's anger. "Well, aren't you a bit of an asshole to begin with." By turning his flying claws, Zhao had been prepared for combat.

"Y'know. I haven't seen much of those kind of weapons, is it actually your 'Ginken'? Because, if it is. It's god damn ugly." Provoking his opponent, Elliot reached onto his left hip and dragged out his katana from his scabbard.

"Uh, shut it." But when Zhao tried to throw his claws, in sudden moment, Elliot twisted his foot on the ground and at final several copies of his body appeared when targeting Zhao. "What the hell?"

Elliots' dashed at Zhao from directions when Zhao prepared for an assault, however, to succeed that he needed to break free of those copies and by that he began to spin his flying claws and spread both of his arms when spinning on the spot, releasing gust of wind which was pushing copies backward while at the same time using his claws to destroy them, but at last Elliot appeared in charging electricity right at the front of Zhao's face and with his right bent leg instantly kicked forward, kicking Zhao backwardly by a hit in the face and then Elliot hurried over to land on the floor and quickly dashed forward when kneeling Zhao into the stomach and shocking him with his high voltage once stretching his leg into Zhao's stomach and knocked him high in the air.

Elliot quickly made a three-step position once ejecting yellow electricity from around his feet and palms when he turned both of his middle and index finger upward, instantly a powerful thunderbolt went flying from the tip of his finger tips at which point it once again electrecuted Zhao and forcibly knocked him onto the roof once Elliot quickly used his 'Godspeed' and ran forward on the floor, up the wall and increasing his jump height due of his abnormal speed and upon doing so, he immediately pointed his left palm forward with his right leaned onto and then unleashed a powerful charge of the attack which madly pulverized itself through the air, but on being noticed, Zhao instantly turned his body and leaped into the air, vaulting over the edge when the poowerful charge, exploded up on contact and condescending, Elliot instantly surrounded his body with charged up ejection of electricity and then squirked his body in a short thunder current when quickly catching up to Zhao and then grabbing the top of his head and unleashing a severe wound of paralysis throughout Zhao's body, when an explosion appeared in front of Elliot's palm and forced Zhao into the floor, cracking them when Elliot was forcibly put into a backflip and landed on the floor, in three-step position.

"I won't lie. I haven't been fighting much of real people, this really is more fun than taking out some dumbass Demons. It's much more strategizing-worthy." Elliot grabbed a rock while throwing it up and down in his right palm.

"You're saying this is your first fight after a while?" Zhao questioned, standing up with his flying claws hanging on his wrist. "You could say that. Ever since I've met up with the others, I didn't have much fighting needed, only dealing with some idiotic Demons and forcibly dealing with slurpy days. But that's pretty much it. It's quite great to get a chance of fighting another 'Duelist'. This makes me think that Tim and Codey had really been fighting well opponents in the past, one of them being the 'Demon God'. I haven't had much fun, although, I wouldn't really consider this being fun. Suddenly the day cycle broke and the night appeared and now that the city is in lockdown due to the electricity outage, I don't think what else will we be able to do. You've ruined the generator completely and not even charging it with electricity would help it." Elliot's fun was erased from his mind when he immediately became serious.

"So you do fight for protection not just fun. That being configured, I may begin." Zhao instantly wrapped the flying claws around his arms when jumping at Elliot and punching forward, however Elliot's speed was unmatchable so by dodging by ducking, he immediately twisted his body and slammed his palm into Zhao's stomach at which point he unleashed a sharp bolt which exposed Zhao's skin on the stomach and after stunning him, Elliot quickly swung his palm upward into Zhao's jaw when quickly knocking him up in the air, but by twisting his left foot and hopping in a spin, Elliot outstretched his right leg aside and kicked Zhao in the cheek, causing his body to be knocked to the side once Elliot quickly landed and turned back at Zhao whose chin was injured and was already weakened.

Zhao fixed his chin when wiping the blood and then opening his palm and began to summon a gentle wind which began to float under the finger tips and skin. Elliot dashed forward with his right arm prepared to slam forward, however by losing his guard, Elliot noticed how Zhao quickly pressed his palm onto Elliot's chest and blew him backward with a windy impulse but right on the start, Elliot sweeped his legs behind his back when making a wheel with his body and then landing, however right after, Zhao jumped forward and pressed a palm into Elliot's face, twisting it and pulling it back when raising his left knee and kicking Elliot into the jaw, he continued by spreading both of his legs and then positioned himself in a way to catch Elliot off guard and then made a fist when straightly slamming the fist into Elliot's stomach and forcing Elliot to lose his oxygien for a mere second, but when Zhao quickly round kicked ahead, Elliot quickly turned his body aside, bent his left knee and raised it, when blocking the kick and then quickly noticing a palm in front of his left eye which released out a powerful pulse of the wind, knocking him back and sliding Elliot back on the ground toward the Innerlight City's docks.

Zhao hopped closer and palm pressed forward, however Elliot quickly ducked and slid his left leg backward when co-stepping and then catching Zhao's left arm when quickly pulling Zhao forward and then sweeping with his katana, however, Zhao quickly ducked and skimmed behind Elliot when opening his left palm, turning it upside down and then unleashed a heavy blast of wind which pressed against Elliot's back and knocked him in the air, hanging his body backward, but while Elliot spun in the air to face his opponent, he instantly spun again and sweeped with his katana when Zhao quickly raised his right arm in which the claw was attached too and sacrificed the chain at which point Elliot's blade cut right into Zhao's wrist, squirking out blood, once Elliot quickly bent his right leg and then kicked it right from next to his hip and kicking Zhao, knocking him backward who crossed arms to block, then landed on the floor and sweeped his left arm next to his right hip when ejecting out electricity and quickly creating a sharp bolt at which point Elliot immediately roundly sweeped forward at Zhao who had manipulated a wind barrier but was uneffective, as the bolt cut through and then slammed into Zhao's chest, knocking him backward with a hop into water, when Elliot vaulted down to the bottom docks and aiming his left and right palm in front, unleashing a powerful charged up voltage beam which boosted forward over the docks to the oceanic water and then riding over it when Zhao finally finished his position from a flip, he quickly created a platform from his aura underneath his feet right on top of water when leaping high up in the air and sensing how the powerfl charged up beam shattered his invisible platform and then electro-charging the water when Elliot smilled and caught Zhao off guard.

Elliot instantly appeared in front of Zhao at which point he hurried over with a spinning kick into Zhao's face and knocking him through the air, once Elliot created an invisible platform and began to bounce closer to Zhao who quickly spun his body and released out a powerful wind which pushed him into the air and spinning him, however in that moment Elliot dashed through the air and drew out his katana once Zhao's eyes shook.

"I believed you would be a bit better, but this was just a waste of time." Elliot smilled, when quickly sweeping with his left arm through Zhao's neck and with it the head was electrecuted once exploding into blood, but right on that contact a massive 'Force' dusted in the distance reacting similarly to an explosion once reaching Elliot and even pushing him forward into the water.

"W-what the-" He faced behind seeing a black aura which was emitting itself through the air, swirling.

After falling into water and swimming to the surface, Elliot's eyes were caught in surprise.

"That aura."

[Planet Earth - Innerlight City - Hororano Street - Monday, 10:42 p.m.]

Kylin stood still in surprise once seeing a diabolic energy in front of her, squirking outward and at it, Wan's head was held in the boy's palm, once red eyes glowed in the dark.

"C-Codey?"
