Sense of Martiality

My celestial self underwent a change where his eyes and hair that were burning black turned white. Instead of emitting darkened yellow flames, I brimmed with brightening yellow flames where the black shade of my aura turned white. Under constant chills, Kendor thought, 'A-an infinito is e-emitting light? Tha-that is impossible!!!'

I exclaimed, ""STOP SPACING OUT AND FACE ME, KENDOR!""

She snapped out of her shock, 'Though his form changed, I don't sense any increase in the level of his power except for the density!!'

---flick---

I flicked before her, henceforth catching her off-guard, ""IF YOU'RE HESITANT, I'LL JUST LIT UP THE FLAMES WITHIN YOU EVEN HOTTER!!""

""Gasp!!!"", she jolted in anxiety. My right palm clenched her neck before she could respond. Whilst gritting her teeth, she screamed, ""Scrooaar!!!""

I commented, ""YOU'RE BEING TOO LOUD!""

---fwoosh------crash---

I threw her the other way around due to which she ended up crashing into a bunch of meteors. She cussed, 'His body's exuding quite an overbearing light. My eyes are hurting me!!!'

---flick---

In an instant, I spawned before her face. My right fist locked onto her belly and charged inwards. Kendor gritted her teeth.

---smack---

My punch did lead to a smack. However, the strike didn't land on her but on me. I looked to my right. A black and violet portal remained on the spot. What's more, my first that paved its way towards Kendor's popped out of it.

I then looked at Kendor. A tiny portal spawned on her belly due to which my punch warped back at me. Taking advantage of the moment, she screamed alongside a flamy breath execution, ""Scroar!!!!!""

---fwoosh---

Her flames pushed me away. A slight gap occurred between the two of us. My mount took a glance at me. I was unscathed. She exclaimed, ""Judging by your state, I can tell you're holding back even after changing into that light form!""

I countered, ""LOOK WHO'S TALKING? YOU DON'T EVEN HAVE A SCRATCH!""

Kendor looked at her body. With a sigh, she emphasized, ""Fine, I'll go all out!!!""

---fwoooosshh---

At once, her body lashed out with an insurmountable release of darkened violet flames. All the meteors in space began to melt and turn into dark violet magma. The magma twirled around her like a thin tornado. Later, it began to stick to her skin. I became puzzled. Soon, the whole twirling came to an end. I found Kendor coating his entire body with black and violet magma where the flames fumed per every second.

With an expressionless expression, I stated, ""FINE BY ME!""

---boom---

Together, my right foot and her forehead bumped against each other, thereby impacting an explosion. The magma that was engulfed on her skin stuck onto my celestial's leg.

I didn't stop and charged forward with my left knee. But she roped me with her tail. The next instant, I was thrown away.

---crash---

Her throw made me crash into a bunch of meteors as a form of her payback. I commented, ""WHAT A WEIRD WAY TO HAVE YOUR PAYBACK?!""

---dash---

I charged back at her. She didn't respond to my speed and took a knee hit below her jaw. It made me flinch due to her magmic layer sticking to my celestial self. I then looked at my fist. Her magma which stuck to me earlier wriggled in between the knuckles. Not to mention my legs.

[She's using her telekinesis to control the magma stuck on my skin to slow my movement. Her combat prowess is totally off the charts of common mortals.]

Whilst smirking, I exclaimed, ""YOU KEEP MAKING ME MORE AND MORE SURPRISED AS TIME PASSES BY, MY LI'L BIRDY!!""

---pierce---

Something stabbed my celestial body from the back. I looked back only to find another Kendor. She stated, ""You didn't notice it. When I used my ultimate supremacy, I split myself into two in need of emergency cases!!""

[Marvelous, she's so clever at fighting. It's me that's having a hard time due to my inexperience. In contrast, she's someone who developed her own prowess for trillions of years. I NEED TO REAP AS MANY BENEFITS AS POSSIBLE FROM THIS FIGHT.]

My expressionless face executed a grin. Kendor shook, 'Did he just smile?!'

"!!!!", she felt tingly and jumped back. Her clone dissipated to nowhere. By widening my arms, I enchanted, ""FIRST FORM: BASIC COMBAT SENSE!!""

---boooooom---

An overwhelming explosion followed the latter, pushing everything within reach afar. It also included Kendor. The waves of the explosion parried her magmic layer off her skin. In an effort to get a hold of herself, she cried out, ""Scrooaar!!!!""

Later when the impact ended, she panted in fatigue and looked at me. My celestial form didn't undergo any changes. However, my darkening aura fluctuated a bit brightly.

Kendor became puzzled, 'Seriously, who is he? For him to emit such bright sparkles?!'

I spoke, ""GO WILD, KENDOR!!""

By gritting her teeth, she flew straight towards me. I dashed vice-versa.

---fwoosh---

Her jaws unleashed a flame breath whereas my form took it head-on. With a knife-hand strike, my right hand split the flames into two separate waves. Her wings flapped, thereby controlling the flames and magma nearby. She gathered all the matter like a raging sun in black and violet shades. I was quite astonished by her display. But she wasn't making one but many. When I looked around, there were dozens of flamy spheres lying in wait. At once,

---flap------flash---flash---flash---flash---flash---flash---flash---flash---flash---___and so on---

Kendor's two wings flapped in unison due to which the burning spheres charged at me one after another. Instead of moving, I remained in the same spot. Kendor's eyes wavered, 'Is he not dodging?!'

---boom(x_)---

All the spheres hit me and exploded. Kendor shouted, ""Why would you take such attacks head-on??!!!""

""ARE YOU WORRYING ABOUT YOUR OPPONENT?!"", I asked. My mount jolted. All the dust cleared. She jolted even more after seeing her flamy spheres turn into bright yellow fluids while fluctuating around me.

---splatter---

By raising my right arm, I unleashed the fluids against her. Right when she was close to getting hit,

---flash(x_)---

some unknown objects came in, slicing and pushing away the fluids with a flashy speed. I shook at the scene and saw them. To my surprise, they were the feathers from Kendor's peacock-like tail. She was using them like knives and hand fans. I exclaimed, ""WOW, FIGHTING WITH YOU IS BECOMING MORE AND MORE EXCITING, KENDOR. SHOW ME MORE!!!"", while scoffing in excitement. She responded, ""Fine, master!!!""

---snap---

I implied a snap with my fingers due to which the fluids fluctuating under my authority turned into daggers. Together, her feathers and my daggers charged against one another.

---boom---boom---boom---boom---boom---boom---boom---boom---boom---boom---boom---boom---boom---boom---boom---boom---boom---boom---boom---boom---boom---boom---boom---boom---boom---boom---boom---___and so on---

It turned into a mess with nothing but bombardments. At the same time, I and Kendor engaged in close combat. I tried punching her on the nose but her entire body split into millions of little birds and got back to one piece behind me. Before I could turn around, she implied flame breath. However, I clenched her mouth and she ended up burning her insides. She began to choke.

---smack---clench---smack---smack---whoosh(x3)---

Without giving her a break, I swirled and smacked her on the neck with my left elbow, followed by a grapple on her lower jaw, kicking her on the stomach with my right knee, smacking her back with my left elbow, spinning her thrice and then throwing her upwards. Her body went upwards.

---flick---smash---

I surprised her with a flicking movement. With a downward kick, I smashed her forehead, sending her back to the endless explosions. She kept rolling in circles due to the impact of those explosions. I sighed and brought my legs together. With a deep breath,

---dash---

I paved my way into those bombardments.

---boooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooom---

The latter followed a seemingly unending explosion where the impact and sound kept prevailing for moments. The amount of flames that were unleashed surpassed that of my devouring an entire planetary system back in the old quashi-zodium realm.

...

Soon, everything turned silent. Kendor was back to her tiny self with body full of bruises. I too was back to my usual self. My celestial form and sovereignty were turned off. Both of us kept rolling in the space amid cuddling one another. Kendor woke up, "Sorry, master. I think I've disappointed you!"

I corrected her, "No!"

"!!!", she widened her eyes and looked at me. I continued, "You helped me in gaining so much insight, my li'l bird. Rest up for now. We'll discuss our minus points later!"

Tears began to drip out of her eyes. I felt awkward, "Are you really trillions of years old? Your behaviour says something else!"

She replied, "That's because we celestials live alone due to which we never change since birth!"

I commented, "Oh, that makes sense!!"

She then asked, "By the way master, what's 'minus'?!"

"...!", I became speechless.

[Sigh, some situations never get in sync, do they?]

I emphasized, "Just sleep for a bit!"

She closed her eyes. I also did the same.

Together, we fell asleep while floating in between a vast space where the surrounding view seemed marvellous with twinkling stars and yellowish space clouds dribbling in the background.
