High in the sky Akasha was moving through the air as he was rapidly approaching Liora. Seeing him approaching Liora slightly raised an eyebrow because he was moving much faster than an Early-Stage Ultimate Core rank.
When Akasha was in striking distance of Liora he punched out. Even though this punched looked simply, it was far from it. The force behind this punch was more than enough to turn one of his peers into a mist of blood. He aimed right at her the beautiful face of Liora and when he landed his punch it sounded like a sonic boom!
BOOOOOM!
The punch let off a devasting shockwave that even caused the ground below to tremble. After he landed his punch, he looked towards the beauty in front of him and what he saw left him a bit shell shocked.
Looking back at him was Liora completely unharmed with her arms crossed. In fact, Akasha's punch didn't even touch her. It was like he hit some sort of invisible barrier. She smiled looking at the shocked face of Akasha
"Is that all you got?" she said with a maddening smile.
Immediately he felt an immense sense of danger, so he instantly tried to create some distance. He retracted his punch and tried to escape. He tried to use one of his skills
|Origin Fla----- but before he could finish his words Liora had already grabbed both of his shoulders. The moment she touched him the sense of danger intensified drastically. Before he could even think of his next move, he delivered a knee to his midsection.
BOOOOOM
Immediately after the knee she brought both of her hands together and slammed them down right on the top of his head! This sent Akasha crashing all the way back to the ground. The impact of the blows and the ground left shockwaves all throughout this realm.
BOOOOOM
His landing was so brutal that he created a crater that was miles deep. Laying in the crater Akasha coughed up a mouthful of blood that was pure black.
*Cough* *Cough*
"FUCK THAT HURTS!" He said while laying deep in the crater.
Still floating high in the sky Liora was watching his every move. Even at this massive distance she could see every single detail. Looking at him lying in the crater she slightly frowned.
'I haven't even used one percent of my power. I know that's not enough to make you give up already, right?! Don't disappoint me, Akasha!' She thought before speaking out
"What are waiting for Akasha! IN A REAL FIGHT YOU WOULD ALREADY BE DEAD! I TOLD YOU NOT TO HOLD ANYTHING BACK!" She roared at him because she really had higher expectations for him. It would be really pitiful if he couldn't continue after a mere knee and overhead blow.
Hearing this Akasha frowned
'Is she looking down on me? I mean I know I shouldn't be laying here still, but why does it sound like she is disappointed?' As he thought this he slowly rose from the crater. Although he just took some major damage is robes were still clean. This was because they were specially made by Luna. But as he rose into the sky the top of his robe began to dematerialize.
When he made it to the same height as Liora he asked why still frowning.
"Are you looking down on me?"
"Heh, no, I am the one who should be asking that. I told you not to hold back and the first thing you do is hold back." Liora said as she looked at him with her arms still folded.
"You want me to go all out.... alright fine." He said while activating an ability.
|Half-Dragon Transformation|
As he said this words the pressure in the atmosphere intensified. From the top of his head he grew horns that was as dark as the void. Alongside his arms scales that were just as dark began to appear. His hands turned into claws and his teeth became sharper.
Looking at his transformation Liora began smiling again.
"So, you're finally going all out."
Hearing this Akasha just smirked and spoke as he removed his blindfolds.
"You have no idea my dear teacher." As he removed his blindfolds his eyes finally shown for the first time in months. The moment his eyes shined with a light so bright that it would've blinded Liora if she was any weaker.
When she saw him removing his blindfolds, she was beyond curious because she too assumed that he was blind. It wasn't other ways for blind people to see so she never truly minded it. But now seeing this brilliant light her curiosity peaked. Well, that was until she saw his eyes through the light.
'W-WHAT THE FUCK?!!!! HOW CAN EYES BE SO BEAUTIFUL!' She said as she was utterly mesmerized.
Currently Akasha's eyes were constantly changing to different things. At times it showed the vast cosmos, sometimes you would see the stars, or even something more mythical like clocks with other pupils surrounding it. It eyes kept changing and flickering until they finally stopped and showed a pure white eye with and dark red slit.
After the light around his eyes disappeared, he cracked his neck and then looked at Liora who had just snapped out of her reverie.
"Now, let's dance dear teacher." After he said this Liora blinked before smiling and was about to speak. But the moment she blinked Akasha disappeared from her sights.
In that moment Akasha used his skill
[ |Blink| - This allows the user to use small teleportation while fighting- Every blink can trigger this skill ]
Then he appeared right behind her and punched out again. But this time he used the skill
[ |Decaying Touch| - this skill allows to the user to wrap the affinity of time around himself while engaged in battle - every touch can rapidly decline one's lifespan.]
Feeling the change in space around her Liora didn't even turn around she simply side stepped him. Missing his punch, he disappeared again and reappeared and kept striking. Over and over again he relentlessly released punches coated in a deathly time energy.
With eyes constantly scanning every subtle change Akasha persisted until he found an opening. Seeing the relentless barrage of punches Liora simply dodged every single one while analyzing Akasha.
'Hmmm, it seems he truly held back during the entrance exams. If he used any of these skills he could have killed anyone of those students. Especially this time skill. Heh, he's truly special' She thought before landing a punch to Akasha's midsection that sent him flying.
With blood dripping down his lips Akasha was thinking to himself as he made his way back into action.
'She's simply dodged every punch I throw, if I want to at least put up a fight I need a strategy.' As he thought this, he continued his barrage of punches while thinking.
As he thought about different battle tactics his mind slowly cleared and all he could focus on was his next strike. He entered some sort of battle enlightenment. His eyes once again changed and this time one could see a golden book in each eye.
Seeing him like this Liora was intrigued but didn't interrupt him she just kept dodging his attacks.
Luna who was currently watching the two girls battle each other turned her head to look at Akasha.
[A/N: You must remember Luna can only be seen if she wants to be.]
When she noticed the state Akasha was in and seen the golden books that were showing in his eyes. She made a face of pure shock.
[T-THAT'S THE SAME BOOK HIS MOTHER HAS!!!] She exclaimed which caused Raven and Elara to stop and look at her. When they saw her looking off into the distance they followed her line of direction. But they couldn't see much because they moved a considerable distance away from Akasha.
Meanwhile Akasha was beyond focus at this moment. Currently his mind was being filled with all sorts of knowledge. Everything related to fighting was being imprinted deep into his soul. Whether it was Swords, Spears, Daggers, or Hand-to Hand combat it didn't matter. All this knowledge came in droves and as Akasha fought, he became sharper and more refined.
As he blinked in and out of Liora's vision his barrages slowly changed from being wild and untamed to him throwing precise blows. Seeing this sudden change Liora began to exert more energy before she actually uncrossed her arms and was forced to parry!
'What the hell is going on with this guy?'
Even though she still wasn't using much of her power, Akasha someone countless ranks below her actually caused her to parry.
The golden books shined more and more brightly the more Akasha fought. The fight slowly changed from Liora dodging, to her parrying, to her actually fighting him back blow for blow! She was currently only using raw strength, but this was still impressive.
While they were trading blows Akasha blinked right in front of her and stared her into her eyes and spoke.
|Origins Gaze - Time Fall |
His voice echoed all throughout the realm, it sounded heavy and ancient. When Liora heard these words, her heart skipped a beat. She suddenly felt a slight threat and then she felt as if something was leaving her.
She then increased her power output to 2%! This caused Akasha to be sent flying towards the ground. He finally snapped out of his state of focus and made a big crash into the ground.
BOOOOOM!
He coughed up blood as he made another crater in the beautiful landscape. He tried to stand back up but before he could rise out the crater, he felt a sudden headache which made him let out a primal scream.
"ARGHHHHHHHH FUCK!!!!" Those were the last words he said before he lost consciousness.
Hearing the scream Liora immediately teleported to him, and she saw him there laying in the crater. He had blood streaming down his face coming from his eyes and his hair was all over the place. He had some minor cuts and bruises that were slowly healing. Seeing him like that Liora smiled softly before picking him up and taking him back to her residence.
'Special indeed.' She thought before disappearing.
After she cleaned his face, she let him rest, while she went to see the two girls.
