Chapter 23: Moon Eclipse Knight - Unlocking Martial Arts (2).

"Pfft," Mia began to chuckle. "Haha! That statement was so cringe."

Her tone obviously showed no seriousness as if she was taking Kris lightly. A simple threat that she can dismantle.

[Instantaneous Acceleration has been activated]

Kris pace began to improve as he dashed towards Mia. At max speed, he nearly was as half as fast as the speed of sound.

"Hmm?" Mia inquired to herself, unconcerned.

Kris then appeared behind Mia with his katana in hand ready strike his female opponent down in the same stance as before.

He withdrew the katana from his saya and slashed at Mia's neck. With the Mana and Aura fused blade it was faster then anything Kris had ever seen. It was also stronger.

Yet, Kris and his blade was too slow.

Despite his buff, speed and accuracy, he was no competition to Mia who had surpassed him entirely. It was like every Attribute Points she had fully utilized even if it was just one digit or number.

Mia guarded herself from Kris's sneak attack with her spear by simply placing it behind her.

After his attack was blocked, Kris said, "At least I'm not dying of it. You are."

Mia then let out a sigh before saying,"*Sigh*"

"First Style: Imaginary Canvas!"

[Warning: Imaginary Painting has been activated!]

"Huh?" Kris inquired in confusion.

Mia's finger tip then glowed white as she drew something on thin air. A gigantic circle with a microscopic stroke on top of it. At the bottom, a arrow pointing down.

She swinged her spear forth, flinging Kris away the mere impact.

"Arghh!" Kris groaned.

Kris landed on his feet safely on the ground. But he was greatly humiliated by Mia's show of strength and was also not out of the woods yet.

The world around them suddenly began to rumble as if a earthquake was happening. But it was a earthquake.

Stumbling on his feet, Kris inquired, "What is happening?"

Mia then abruptly disappeared along with her steed.

"What?" Kris inquired to himself.

The top of his head then began to scratch him so he rubbed and then looked up. What he saw in the sky was a gigantic rock which was ten times bigger than Earth. It wasn't even a rock, it was a celestial body.

He lowered his gaze as he knew what came next.

"Damnit."

The celestial body crashed on top of the already destroyed and annihilated planet. The mere world was entirely destroyed by just two individuals.

The crash left a mighty shockwave and a explosion of flames and debris. The shockwave was so great that it was felt through the entire galaxy that this would was held in.

[You haves died!]

[...]

On top of the titan of a celestial body - what wasn't even heavily damaged by the collision - was Mia seated down, petting her steed which was laying flat.

"I finally did it," she said. "I didn't want to do this until I found Eston and killed for myself, but that idiot already got himself killed. Too bad I couldn't demolish this pathetic world infront of his weak and sorrows do eyes."

"But he isn't dead though."

Mia casted her gaze behind her, glaring at a figure behind her shoulders.

As expected, it was Kris standing alone.

"Ahh," sighed Kris. "Do you know how much it hurts to feel a giant rock crush your skull at light speed, even if it was for a few seconds?"

"It didn't even hurt that much because I gained a significant tolerance to pain," said Kris. "So I don't know why I got this Title."

"I won't be able to kill you with my current power, but I see where the results bring me," Kris said. "So how will I fight?"

"I can probably make it kill me a thousand times over but that'll take too long," said Kris with a uncanny look on his face. "Hmm, maybe it's my way of fighting. My moves consist of few slashes and stabs while I barely use other tactic when those are immobilized. Should I change to Martial Arts?"

Martial Arts is a well-known sport across the world and in every country. Either because it is entertaining to watch people fight or it was a perfect method to learn to fight and defend one's self.

At first, Kris didn't find much interest in this sport that consist of many because of the use of body parts and improvement to them. He thought it was a hassle, despite the rare use of weapons in Martial Arts like Silat and HEMA - Historical European Martial Arts.

He, of course, knew about these Martial Arts that used weapons and objects.

So he only had to incorporate there move sets into his style of fighting.

Kris read through the wonderful new Skills he had gotten and was astonish. Yet that was not all in store.

"But, how are these going the help right now?"

While he was distracted, Mia took it as a chance to strike. She sped up her pace, moving at a incomprehensible pace. Disappearing and appearing as if she was light despite moving at the speed of sound.

Reaching infront of Kris, she thrusted her spear towards his abdomen.

Kris, instead of dodging, stood still.

He raised his blade and held it in both hands and lifted it down, doing a vertical slash. With the attack, he blocked Mia's strike.

"I just learn the basics of Kenjutsu."

He then charged by sliding the tip of his blade at the surface of Mia's skin and then did a horizontal slash from the same Martial Arts from before - Kenjutsu.

The basics of this weapon based Martial Arts was slashes and a proper posture. That wasn't all it had in stores but it was what was mostly shown in sports.

Kris's attack tore off the skin from his enemy, releasing ounces of heavy, warm, red blood.

"Argh!" Mia groaned in agony.

Kris then docked and did another horizontal slash, chopping of Mia's right shin leaving her unable to walk or stand. He then grabbed her spear and clutched it by the handle.

[Dismantle has been activated]

"Hopefully it's Epic-Grade," said Kris in bored tone of voice.

The spear started to glow blue and then vanished with a flash of light. The light then duplicated and hit Kris in the chest. After, only ash remained in his left hand.

"So that spear was Ep-?" Before Kris could finish his sentence, he was cut off by a punch.

A mere punch, sent Kris flying into face with his body being unable to move because it was broken.

Mia remade herself a leg from Mana. It shined blue with ancient symbols, words engraved in its structure.

"THAT PEST!!" Mia exclaimed with all her might, shaking the entire celestial body itself.

The shout was directed towards Kris and as a result he was blow into a million pieces of bones, flesh and blood that floated in face.

Know Kris would come back, she took precautions.

The way that Kris Hidden Skill works is that it ditches its original body and creates a new, better and improved one. So every time Kris dies, he comes back with more stamina and strength. Because it is a new body, his energy is refilled.
