Prologue 48 (Part 1) Kazu Nini and Uniah Gramanos (12)

The Royal Noble Sphinx and the Commoner Pixie stared at themselves. The Feline had herself covered in blood and sweat while the Pixie's fist dripped blood as her body shivered like a leaf in a storm

"I have a final set of techniques, but you like you are done for."

"Hurry up, i need to win so that I could get more resources."

"Ignorant Thing."

"Arrogant Cub."

Uniah Gramanos scowled until it disappeared to a blank look. Then, with a robotic voice, as she began to sway in a pendulum, ,she muttered;

"*Hypnotherapy Stage 2: Self Hypnosis.*

Bang!

Her head slumped as though she had fainted while standing but the swaying of her body had not stopped. Then, sand erupted about her as though a waterfall in reverse rending the ground and atmosphere in the arena.

Kazu Nini on the other hand raised both hands behind her face as if she were miming about a wall before her.

"*Inner Sand of Mine, Make The Punishment Divine!*"

ROOOAAAAARRRRRRRR!!!

Kazu Nini said nothing as she kept herself in her stance but on Uniah Gramanos's end, the reverse waterfall of sand had the face of a Sphinx on its surface. And as it bellowed in pride and rage, the face swam up and down the massive cylinder of sand that was erupting about the Royal Noble Sphinx. Webs spreading from the area that she stood

"*General Of Sand, Belch Forth Your Kin; Call Forth Your Likeness And Dispose Of The Vermin!*"

9 Sphinx erupted from where Kazu Nini could not see the Royal Noble behind her erupting fountain of sand. And they hovered up and down the waterfall of sand as they pranced about the air.

Still, Kazu Nini made no visible move. The commoners were beginning to worry for her as Amalganom Gramanos's smiled became more stretched.

"Let's see what the arrogant little Pixie would do." Illjako Josh Nahom made no comment as Uniah Gramanos completed the first set.

"*General Of Sand, One With Your Kin; 9 Have Been Birthed, 9 can now Begin!*"

After both the face that revealed itself on the face of he erupting and the prancing Sphinxes disappeared, to be replaced by an outstretched paw. The 250 meter claw reached out as though its opponent were far away, tearing air between themselves as it's length alone rendered the distance between the two opponents obsolete.

"*3 True Evolutions of the 3 True Wyrms!*"

The Pixie had to throw both hands away from each other because of the shockwave produced from unleashing her own move.

Inbetween gargantuan claw, 3 Wyrms Of Glass rapidly went through Solid, Liquid, Gas and Plasma as though their Revolution had been put on fast forward. After making a wide arc, they had met when they were in their gaseous state before continuing their final revolution together.

Bang!

However, to the naked eye, it looked as if the Pixie had simply forced her hands open then caused an explosive sound, and ground along with the air scattered like dust in a hurricane, before a white light shone preceding an explosion

BANG!

Plasma and sand met and dispersed all about he arena, their casters without a single blemish, in contrast to the ruined ground air and fluctuating ceiling.

The audience on both sides hoped to this point that they had recorded all the events in the arena.

Regardless of the winner they had been enjoying themselves, thus far

"*Inner Sand of Mine, Make The Punishment Divine!*"

The drab, soulless voice echoed out once more and Kazu Nini set herself in a stance of her hands outwards, eyes cold as ice. As a another face appeared to be swimming within the erupting sand, Kazu Nini's body shook like she was having a seizure. Yet her eyes were painfully calm.

"*General Of Sand, Belch Forth Your Kin; Call Forth Your Likeness And Dispose Of The Vermin!*"

27 Sphinx danced up and down the Erupting Sand and made violent gestures at the Pixie who kept her hands outwards but did not outwardly make any other deliberate moves

"*General Of Sand, One With Your Kin; 27 Have Been Birthed, 27 can now Begin!*"

"*6 True Revolutions Of The 6 True Lindworms*"

ROOOOOOOOAAAAARRRR

A mane owned by a ferocious 175 meter face came out of the sand waterfall along with frontal limbs. The air pushed against the Pixie as though a wave descending to drown a city but she seemed unperturbed

BANG!

ROAAAAAAAAARRRRR

On Kazu Nini's end, her arms were forced out until she looked as though she were trying to embrace the world before she quickly contracted them back.

6 Lindworms came out, spinning as they were birthed from the same source, and when they finally joined they were gaseous.

BANG!!

A flash of white later and even the walls of the DamageRoom began quaking as if it were on the verge of gaining cracks.

No one seems to be standing on top, still.

"*Inner Sand of Mine, Make The Punishment Divine!*"

A monotone voice resounded and Kazu Nini lifted her hands once more, her upraised limbs shaking as though they could stay in one spot any longer. Even her eyes were half drooped. The Royal Noble had a face appear once more within he waterfall of sand that seam about it.

"*General Of Sand, Belch Forth Your Kin; Call Forth Your Likeness And Dispose Of The Vermin!*"

80 Sphinxes danced about the continual eruption of sand as Kazu Nini kept her unbending gaze on Uniah Gramanos

"*General Of Sand, One With Your Kin; 81 Have Been Birthed, 81 can now Begin!*"

"*9 True Revolutions Of The 9 True Amphiptere!*"

A full 100 meter Sphinx with wings emerged, but its feet were still connected to the Erupting waterfall of sand. The Tsunami of pressure intended to crush Kazu Nini and her technique but it was to no avail

Like a braid of hair or a coiling of wires to make one cord, the 9 Amphiptere of Glass formed within each other, and twisted until they became 1. And although Kazu Nini, had been thrown back from the force of her own attack, she only back flipped once, then landed on her 2 feet. Staggering in return, to where she once stood, air and ground became dust. The DamageRoom walls cracked all over as though lightening had been birthed directly within the Potent Artifact and the ground rumbled.

When Uniah Gramanos paused, Kazu Nini knee it was going to be her last attack too.

"*Inner... Sand Of... Mine, Make The... Punishment Divine!*"

A face of a lion once more appeared in the waterfall of sand but this time, it was not within the water fall. The waterfall rose as it was continually eruption, but it took on the outline , and, details of the face as though an artist inscribing a piece of art into memory with pure skill.

Kazu Nini's hands were dropped to the side and he stared at Uniah Gramanos with her eyes so dropped it looked as though she were sleeping.

"*General Of Sand, Belch Forth Your Kin; Call Forth Your Likeness And Dispose Of The Vermin!*"

242 Sphinxes stood about the air like soldiers waiting command and the air twisted like a corkscrew. The ground getting depressed from their presence alone.

"*General... Of Sand,... One With Your ...Kin; ...243 Have... Been... Birthed, 243 can now... Begin!*"

"*9 Revolutions Of The 9 Amphiptere!*"

ROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO-

The Sphinx that emerged this time was barely 50 meters, in jewelry and fine adornment. It roared as though challenged reality.

OOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAA-

Kazu Nini launched the attack, but the toll this time made her flight backwards,3 times and land on knee. Amd the crowd reeled because if her seemingly weaker hand right now, but that was enough for her and she slapped the ground.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRR!!!

The Mud-Minion appeared out of nowhere and seeped into the 9 merged Amphiptere, painting it dirt brown, an instant before a mist of Light Blue Ko-jin covered all that the audience and spectators could see.

BOOOOOM!!!!!!

The ground shook like a magnitude 5 earthquake, the air vibrated as if it were solid and on the verge of shattering, the arena walls exploded like glass and the ground sunk.

When the dust was settled, the DamagaRoom walls were broken and they were slowly healing.

Both sides of the audience had gotten on their feet to be the first to see who won.

And when the dust cleared...

…one was passed out and the other was on her back.

The one on her back rocked her body from side to side kike a boat, several times, before she could stand up. Then, agonizingly slow, she began walking. Although with the way she wobbled and almost fell down countless times you would think she was either drunk or insane.

Still, she stepped forward.

1 step

2 steps

3 steps

4 steps

5 steps

5 steps

6 steps

7 steps

8 steps

9 steps

10 steps.

…20, 30, 40, 50…

99

100!

Looking down at her opponent, the conscious one made a snorting noise at the back of her throat that dragged on and on until she finally forced her eyes open to spit out phlegm on the cheered of the loser's

And the supporters cheered like they had been given a new lease on life.
