From above, one would see a yellow giant swinging around two yellow weapons moving too fast to see what they were. He was jumping from place to place while flipping and rotating with his weapons swiping everywhere.
Destruction followed his trail everywhere, but so far he'd missed every swing, not a drop of blood drawn from all his efforts to hit Ali.
'I can't hit him, he slips away at the last second every time, EVERY FUCKING TIME. I have to pay to land something on him', the viscount realised that playing it safe wasn't working. He had to take risks and make openings in his defence to land anything on Ali.
And that's what he did. He lowered his stance with the two halberds and exploded forward, swiping one up at Ali who sidestepped the attack but violently flipped mid-air, throwing one of his halberds at Ali who flew up, dodging the massive weapon that pierced the ground he was standing on and created a ten-metre-wide crater from the force alone.
'NOW', the viscount thought as he jumped up into the air where he would lose his mobility.
The viscount flew up to Ali's level and charged up his other halberd with an enormous amount of his dense level five aura. Ali matched him and swung with his right hand holding the great-sword, which now extended to a massive ten-metre giant made of condensed black aura.
'Now, where to make him pay', Ali thought as he instantly realised what the viscount was trying. He'd fallen for the same hole everyone who didn't fully understand Ali did. They all thought a big hit would change anything, when in reality their only hope was landing the one attack to end Ali not injure him.
Anything other than that was self-harm.
SLICE
STAB
A massive shockwave spread, cutting through the darkness before both of them fell back down to the ground. The viscount was smiling from ear to ear under his helmet.
"Finally", he said to himself as he looked at Ali who was standing there with his right arm missing from the shoulder with blood squirting out. The great-sword was floating next to him on his right side as he didn't have a hand to hold it now.
UGH
The viscount's right leg suddenly gave way, and he nearly buckled to the ground before leaning more on his left leg. He looked down to see a deep stab in his right leg with blood trickling down. He could see the cut through the hole in his armour there.
"You lost a leg for this?", Ali asked, moving his stump without a trace of pain.
"You lost an arm, while I have a small cut. I'd say the shock is getting to your head", the viscount said as he raised his right leg and stomped the ground, cracking the ground, but his eyes narrowed and his lips quivered from the pain he had just felt. Also, his leg wasn't answering him at all; he felt a disconnect. He'd thought the impact would wake his dead leg up.
'I cut his femoral nerve in his right thigh. Even I can't use my leg with that nerve cut. I'd need to regenerate it. This fight is over. I know everything I need now', Ali thought as he kept his eyes on the movement of the dense level five aura inside the viscount's body.
"Lost an arm? Look again", Ali mocked, drawing the viscount's attention, who looked up to see a superhuman scene. Ali's bone grew out, and flesh followed. In three seconds, a whole brand-new arm was there. He flexed his hand, then grabbed the great-sword.
'No….It can't be…Fuck….Fuck…There is only one way now….FUCK JUST WHAT KIND OF MONSTROUS DEMON HAS LANDED IN MY LANDS', the viscount felt like someone grabbed him back down to the deep sea when he'd nearly broke the water surface and gone up for air, but that wasn't enough to crush him, not at all.
The viscount changed his stance now with his dead right leg and lowered his visor made of aura. Around him, constant air waves exploded out from his body, and his two halberds fused back into a single yellow spear.
'It's close now…', Ali thought, feeling his aura nearly out of a specific line of engraving in his runic axe, the same line he used to exert the heaviest rune on the axe. 'When I use it, my aura will block the rune until it's ready to be used again. I can only use the lighter runes in the meantime', Ali thought.
Meanwhile, in his Spirit Realm, the black aura sword now had a massive armoured hand gripping its handle, and the arm was slowly growing out into a full armour suit. The armour was dense black and had a similar look to Shadow's obsidian skin.
BOOOOOOM
The two crashed into each other, but now it was different. Ali felt it as now he was barely pushed back. His strength was holding up against the viscount. And his speed was matching him step for step.
BLOCK
Ali blocked the viscount's spear and used his dragon eyes to look at what was happening inside the viscount. 'He's diverting his aura to the spear, taking it away from his armour,' Ali thought, seeing the aura's flow.
Ali twisted his wrist just slightly to force the spear down and used the Force to control his sword to push the spear to the side, freeing up his hands, which he used to stab with the inverted spear of heaven.
The viscount let go of the spear and jumped back, avoiding the spear, but from behind him, a metal chain wrapped around his armour, binding his arms to his body.
Ali turned and pulled the chain with all his strength, dragging the viscount up and then straight down, but the viscount's cape suddenly exploded into thin air, and the aura from the explosion pushed the chains open from him to slip the devastating crush.
He opened his palm once he landed with a pained expression on his dead leg. He was calling for his spear, that was locked in a fight mid-air with Ali's greatsword. Now the axe was there, smashing into it to make sure it doesn't return to the viscount.
'He's still charging it with aura,' Ali thought, seeing the stream of yellow aura connecting the two without touch.
Ali, with his chain in hand, rushed at the viscount, who raised his fists up and stood his ground, his armour a beacon of light in the darkness.
Ali jumped up and twisted mid-air, sending a whip of chain at the viscount, who smacked it away and hopped back, dodging another part of the long chain from behind.
Ali came crashing down on him with an axe kick, which he blocked.
BOOOOOM
Every time the two of them came into contact, destruction spread, their power too much for the earth around them to handle.
Ali twisted again, landing another kick which the Viscount blocked at the last moment; their speed at their size ridiculous. Ali didn't let up as he followed up every kick with another one, every single kick carrying great weight behind it.
The Viscount's arms hurt from blocking the last kick, but this time he countered with a straight punch which Ali slipped past with incredible technique and launched a punch which smashed straight into the Viscount's helmet.
CRACK
It was Ali's handle that broke from the impact, not the solid armour that only flashed yellow from the punch. The Viscount saw the opportunity and swung at Ali.
'Shadow Step', Ali thought, and he flashed behind the Viscount, who didn't have the aura to use his aura step. Something Ali could see very well with his eyes. He knew the Viscount was close to running out as he'd sent more than half of his aura to the spear now.
UGH
Ali kicked the Viscount's armour around his dead leg, sending him to the ground where Ali followed it up with a kick to the abdomen, but this time…
"Force Push", Ali added the Force with his kick, and the Viscount was launched into the air, followed by a wave of debris. The Viscount's aura armour flashed through his flight over and over again.
SMASH BANG BANG SKIDDDDDDDD
He landed roughly on the ground and his heavy body skidded on the ground for another thirty metres before he finally stopped with his back on the ground and his armour finally gone, dissipated into thin air.
But the Viscount was smiling, not of surrender and defeat but of triumph as he'd survived the punishment of losing his aura to his spear.
'Now I just have to kill him, I will erase him and this whole valley with him', the Viscount thought as he stood up slowly and opened his palm again. This time, his spear was the beacon of light in darkness as his incredible pool of yellow aura was now stored in the spear.
The spear, using his stored aura, cloned itself ten times to avoid Ali's weapons and finally land in its owner's hand.
The moment his hand touched the spear, the spear glowed brighter than ever, and the aura turned to the shape of a yellow flame around the spear.
