2nd Boss Part 2

"( So, the little Hollow already knew!? for the monarch's sake...!) " Aruka says in Raymond's body.

"( I don't know how he finds it out, but I can't let him interfere any longer!? )"

"( This, little Hollow, from the looks of it, he's not that usual Hollow I would see in the Desierto. )"

"( This must be some rare kind of breed or something like what we used to call an exceptional person in the world of the living. )"

"( But it doesn't matter, the problem now is to destroy this one and get out of here or whatever the situation might arise, but still my survival is the first priority! )" Aruka says as he prepares to strike again, countering Shiro who attacked at him first.

"( Let's see how much access I have in your body, Captain Raymond? )" Aruka says as he then takes great breathing and then casts Captain Raymond's [Astral Soul Ability: White Hand Claw] as he puts his hand into the sword.

[ Freeze Contact. ]

[ This is the after-effect an enemy would experience after the White Hand Claw landed a hit into their body, the after-effect is basically like a hunk of ice would grow out from the body since the freezing effect constantly freeze the blood inside the enemy's body. ]

With the [Freeze Contact] effect, Aruka uses the [White Hand Claw]s greatest ability to freeze everything, thus trying to imbue the effect into Raymond's own sword, [White Silver]. As he imbues it, he creates a sharp glacial layer in the blade, probably it was made on purpose to increase the sword's damage and also.

"( Let's hope I could give the Hollow some freeze! )" Aruka says as he clashes blade with Shiro, they both clashes as much as they can.

" [White Blizzard Slash]!!! " he uses Raymond's sword skill to attack Shiro, which he countered with the [Astral Blade] in his hands.

Since the first slash, didn't work, Aruka then decides to immediately increase the tempo of his attacks for he really wants Shiro dead ASAP.

"( There's no time to waste anymore, everything we've done is screwed because of this unknown Hollow...! )"

"( Regarding his origin, I can think of that later, or ask the great Monarchs more if they happen to know about it. )"

"( But for now! )"

" [White Barrage Strike]!!! " A continuous multiple barrage attacks of freeze Aruka delivered to Shiro which Shiro manages to block some with the [Astral Sword], despite that, Aruka still continues to deliver it as much as he can, trying to make Shiro exhausted before dealing another deadly skill of freeze.

"( Using Raymond's [Freeze Contact], I will freeze him until his Astral Existence is completely destroyed! )"

"( Now! )" Aruka then finds the moment as he immediately strikes Shiro in the chest so hard.

"( Gotcha...! huh!? )" Aruka was surprised as the frost blade didn't stab the chest, not wounding it a little bit.

"( Huh, there's no effect, what happened..., what the!? )" Aruka was shocked to see there was no blood coming out from Shiro's body, but instead the blade was being held by the thickness of Shiro's [Astral Armor].

"( He was wearing armor!!!? )" Aruka didn't realize for Shiro hides the armor within his robe he currently uses right now, his robe is very large as it covers his whole body, making his enemies didn't realize what he had to hide under the robe's covering.

"( Dammit, I didn't realize he's using armor!!! )" Aruka was disappointed in himself for not realizing this earlier, as he then tries to retract his sword's blade, but.

*Shiro's hand suddenly grabs the sword, before Aruka even retracts it and retreats.*

" Not so fast...! " Shiro says as he holds it with his thick-armored hands, The Astral Armor is a full-covering body armor set, so everything is covered, including the head if Shiro wants to cover it.

" You think I didn't know what are you attempting to...? " Shiro asks, telling Aruka that he already knows about Captain Raymond's [Freeze Contact] effect during his travel with him and Tracker into this very region back then.

" Nice try, but let me tell you this, you better get out from the Captain's body or you'll die with him too. " Shiro warns the Raydar Djinn Spirit, making him afraid as he was telling the truth if he kills him within Raymond's body.

" For no matter how much you try, Captain Raymond is struggling within you, didn't he!? "

" I can tell since you seem to have trouble manifesting his abilities, thus explain the standard moves! "

" For the real Captain Raymond will never just play swords, he will obliterate his enemies ASAP without much talk like I do! "

" Especially if the enemy is weaker than him. " Shiro says as he then puts the sword out of Raymond's hands and decides to punch him and pin him down.

"Grrkh, how dare you..- "

...

< Skill: [Hollow Howl] -- (LVL.5) >

< With this Howl, Astral Player could stun the enemy if the enemy's HP is already below 50% >

< Cost: -1.300 AP >

...

" Gakkhh!!! " Aruka says as he feels stunned as the howl disrupts his muscle movements, right after he heard it.

< Stun Effect Applied >

"( Grhhh, this kid is not serious right? this is his friend's body after all...? )" Aruka lay on the ground, pinned by Shiro as he prepares his slash.

"( Is he going to slash? it can't be he's...!? )" Aruka was nervous for he now lost control over Raymond's body, as he can feel his nerves active anymore at the moment.

During this moment, Aruka felt Raymond's consciousness laughing at him for having such an attack that makes him so weak. Feeling insulted, Aruka didn't hear the voices but fear already consumed him in this defenseless state.

" Wait! don't slash this body, you fool! " Aruka tells Shiro in a ditch effort.

" This is your acquaintance's body, if you slashed it, you might've killed him. " Aruka threatens Shiro, that's the only weapon he had for now.

" Really? " Shiro asks as he just tells Aruka that he could've just slashed him with a little effort in order to make Raymond just being wounded heavily.

" I could've slashed him until he's heavily damaged? doesn't that make you retreat...? " Shiro asks..

" No, it won't!!! "

" No matter how much you try, I will stay, hahaha! "

" So, what are you going to do!? "

" Are you going to continue slashing me? killing Raymond in the process!? "

" In front of Tracker 101 even!? " Aruka asks, taunting Shiro while looking at Tracker.

Shiro silents for a bit, as he thinks for a bit, and looks at Tracker. After that, he just states.

" Yes..., I do " Shiro says simply and performs <Spirit Slash> again, wounding Captain Raymond's body so hard that Aruka could feel it too inside. This time, Shiro purposely weakens the Spirit Slash, using Level 3 <Spirit Slash> only in order to simply damage Captain Raymond's body,

" Garrkkkhhh!!! " Aruka screams inside Raymond's body, feeling the pain.
