Half phoenix vs Lightning giant state

Alan Pov

"Ptui"

I spat out a mouthfull of blood, watching his lightning transform to a shape of a snake with white scales wrapping around him like a mother hugging her newborn.

'He is exactly moving like Kim Yong expected him to move'

I thought that while remembering his advise that we never let him get the advantage in the fight or let him see our real art until we understand how he moves.

"What are you thinking so hard about?"

His spear is enlarging in my field of view as his chilling voice entered my ear at the same time. I am flapping my wings, dodging his strike that cracked the barrier beneath me. 

His eyes and my eyes are entirely focused on one another, as I am swinging my sword down at him. He responded with his spear cutting the barrier and clashing with my sword halfway through the swing.

'how can someone be so fast and decisive?'

I thought as a spear of lightning is crashing against my wings. Stunning it for a second as well as leaving me confused who that person is now.

Five spears with the azure blue fire coating them is charging at him to give me some second to get my thoughts together. Casein is currently sleeping after using my body forcefully to fight an old friend of his, so in short I can't get advise or anything that would help me right now from him.

"Trust yourself a bit more and fight with the abilities you have mastered instead of using half assed moves or skills"

Kim Yong his voice from yesterday before he left to whatever he is doing is suddenly entering my thought process. My sword already swinging down at his incoming spear, intercepting it as well as pushing him back.

His eyes shot wide open, a smile was visble on the side of his mask that got broken... he looked happy that something shocking happened. I myself didn't even know what happened really right there.

"so you still had some tricks up your sleeve"

'Nope!'

^Clang^ ^Boom^

Our weapons collided at an ever growing speed. The second barrier close to breaking as the cracks are entering my peripheral vision.

My Phoenix eyes are slowly revealing that snakes appearance to me as well as... some kind of giant?!

The white Lightning slashes through my blood red fire, the tip of his spear entering my vision for a split second. My right wing acted on its own, blocking the spear.

"Wow didn't know phoenixes fight like this with their wings!"

He gushed out as the smile on his face grew even bigger... which is slowly annoying me.

'How can I shut his mouth and beat him without revea-!!'

^Boom^

His spear appeared in front of me at an speed I shouldn't be able to react to, my sword however intercepted the spear and an explosion happened... using the phoenix arts movement.

'What is happening right now?!'

My body moved before I could process it or even gave the command to move, it is like a super car that drives on his own except that I understand why it is doing that.

The boy with no face is getting even faster as well as his attacks slowly turning sharper, the white lightning isn't equal to my blood red fire yet it slowly pierces through it, my body is executing the movement of stabbing first and then slashing to the side to counter his spear.

'How can I see all this?'

Right now my body is moving fast enough to counter every attack of him, sometimes even getting clear hits on him. On the other hand he copies the movement and seems to slowly understand the first movement of the phoenix art.

White fire is fusing with his white lightning, his spear and the sword clashing every second 20 times, my exact moevements are being copied by him in his own way... yet it doesn't seem that he is getting the upperhand in this fight.

'Am I not the one fighting him!?'

This thought crossed my head however the dance between the spear and the greatsword is drawing me in, binding me to its beauty. The blood red fire and the white lightning in addition to white fire are performing an act of a tragic story between a phoenix, a giant and a snake.

The stories in every clash of these forces is telling a tale of the forgotten, a tale of friendship and a tale of... betrayal, regret, anger, grief. The tales arrived in the present and now are revealing the dance between three beings enjoying the fight, forgetting their frustration and sorrow for this fight.

The boy with no face is smirking as he performs the move [Flower of fire] crude... no it was something that is similiar to Flower of fire yet isn't the flower of fire, it was a simple version of it.

'It doesn't even reach thirty percent of the strength of Flower of fire'

I didn't know why but as soon as he used the cheap copy of flower of fire with the copy of Benjamins lightning art... it felt like a weird coincidence that I saw everything and could copy it from him.

^BOOM^

glass is shattering around us, my greatsword is fighting with his spear for supremacy at the same time are our forces fighting for the fun of it. My vision spread even further as now I can see what shattered, the second barrier.

'Hahaha now I understand what is happening!'

I praised myself a bit as my vision is now covering the whole arena, All of the people watching us are like some generated character in my vision, all with their unique fire in them. My ability from my old world is fusing with my phoenix genes, that created this huge vision, along with the Ether art who brought that concept of my old ability back.

'The phoenix instincts are insane in combination with my ability and the Ether arts!'

I tried to get back control of my body and fight him with my new discovered power, created out of my old ability along with the phoenix genes and the ether arts.

"I should stop playing around and finish this fight"

With my now enhanced vision and hearing, I heared him say that before blood shot out of my chest in addition with my blood red fire being swallowed by his combined white lightning and fire.

"Wh-what?!"

I recognised the Higanbana on my chest, my mouth was filled with blood and I realised a second later what he did... he used the 2 bens and my art combined as one move.

Holy fire emerged out of nowhere, healing my injuries in a blink of an eye, azure Blue fire and blood red fire is turning my wings dark purple, my body is growing as an halo looking like a crown out of holy fire appeared above my head.

My sword cut the space in front of me, clashing with the spear with a loud sound of metal clashing against metal.

^BOOM^

I ignored the forces exploding and pushed through it, reaching him in a moment. My body is revolting against me and my phoenix instincts are screaming at me but I ignored it, launching my sword with all my might at him.

"You are more predictable than the other two."

'wha-' ^SPURT^

My world turned upside down and I saw my arms falling next to me along with my sword.

'I lo...'

The Boy with no face Pov

My final attack was the perfect combination out of the three arts I could copy, The destructive force of the space cutter, the speed of the Lightning frontal assault, and the raw power that holds everything together the Fire Lotus flower moreover the Holy snake and lightning giant state that gave my body enough durability and sturdiness to execute that move.

[Dimensional Lotus Lightning Rend]

Something else spoke in my head and emerged in front of me... but I ignored it and let my attack hit his two arms... however the power was so great that it even tear through his stomach but was stopped halfway through it by something horrifying.

All my energy was gone and I landed on the ground with a thud, The barrier created by the Astral Queen had a small crack in it and everyone was silent.

'I surpassed myself again with that'

Was my last thought as everything went black and a snake smiling at me appeared for a moment.

'NO NO NO THA- THAT CAN'T BE HER!!'

My body felt heavy and sweat is leaking out of my body, all because he used something only my father and She was able to do.

But that can't be true, there is no way that butl-

"is something wrong your majesty?"

The butler in question appeared without even making a sound, his voice was like ice and his eyes like empty glass balls... He didn't feel like a living person but death itself. I an't hear my heart beating against my chest, my breaths are getting shorter moreover they are slowly become colder with each breath I take.

'No no i-it can't be?!'

My body didn't listen to me, I wanted to run away from him, from death, from this tournament but my body isn't listening to me.

"Wh-wh-wh-wh-what i-is hapen- who is- how is this possible?!"

I cried out and demanded an explanation from him as My eyes turn blurry. My mighty self is crying?! I am fearing death?! I am anxious that she is still alive?!

demonic energy is rising from my body and my mind is calming down, I see everything normal again and the butler is looking at me worried with his wrinkled face, exuding only B Rank mana.

"Father is everything okay?!"

Taio asked me however the demonic energy is laughing at me or to be more precise the demonic beast sealed in me is laughing at me.

"yeah everything is okay... she can't be alive I made sure that she can"

'she can't be alive I made sure that she can'

Taio his face crumbled for a short second for no reason, I mainly said that everything is okay and thought the last part.

I calm myself down a bit more and wait for the fight between Kim Yong and The trash.

'Before that however do I need to watch a boring fight between a draconian and a monster'
