12 Awakening part 3

Both of the commanders stood apart as suddenly gold and black blades shot towards the enemy commander, and he intercepted, jumping, avoiding the first barrage as they exploded, upon contact decimating the ground into rubble... and dust... even more blades shot towards him and they were intercepted in quick succession...

Such movements from an unwieldy axe... and An uncanny agility...

But it isn't enough...

A simple regal long sword curved in its stunning dark radiance gleamed as he pulled it out the ripple next to him...

'My blood is boiling....'

Moving quickly fading in and out of visual existence to the eye as images blurred around him... along with dark purple flames like an endless ocean...

And sword met axe...

A visual difference in power could be seen... that could be summarised in pure brutal strength...

The katana cracked and exploded as soon as the axe touched the surface... its shards connected by the aura of its master floated unwittingly and beautifully in the air...

The axes stunning yet simple baleful curves cut through and bisected Shiros body... or at least an image as it dispersed into purple flames...

As another image appeared one after another in quick succession... slashing forward and it ended in exchanges exactly like the first, but no blade reached his body...

It was a stalemate...

However the axe grew brightly as it greedily ate into its masters aura... and than he brought his to his side as his muscles bulged... and than cut in a large horizontal arc... creating a large destructive wave of solid dark brown energy that ate into the surroundings...

What met it was a large ripple and what followed was a wall of blades and purple, red, tinged with gold energy... protecting his entire parade of Youkai!

Yes he wanted to wipe out him and the entire opposing faction! This was a dishonourable act!

No mirth or joy was found in scarfaces eyes but solemn steel will...

At forefront holding off this attack that could wipe out his Followers, the ground and a whole kilometre beyond him... he was facing this energy head on! His hands raised and constantly feeding his own aura into the barrier...

The swords seemingly had a life of their own as they exerted their own unique energies to fend off the attack...

Both sides were shocked this attack was horrific and he was holding it back!

They were shocked and awed... but his followers also seemed to be fuming... this was no longer a battle between commanders but war...

But there was something else concerning...

The strain...

Kubinashi moves instantly without a care he grabbed onto A nearby warrior and threw him onto the one blocks way.... and ran forward... what he saw mortified him... and his eyes lit into a fiery yellow blaze... and it also made his heart grow cold...

Black blood was slowly running down from a large gash across his chest... it was deep and was most definitely a mortal wound...

What's more the strain on his young body was too much... streams of black blood ran down his eyes and mouth... as his eyes seemed strange glowing but held no consciousness... no it was there but something else took hold and that was something he couldn't recognise... but he could see one thing WILL.
