Chapter 25 - You've Really Surprised Me

"FINALLY, SHOW ME YOUR ALL, KOMODO!!" Invierno shouted with his full strength.

Komodo's tentacles went behind Invierno trying to stab his back. But he opened up his top arms sending all of them back in a gust of wind. Then with his lower arms he delivered thirteen precise hits to Komodo's upper body.

Komodo was sent flying and Invierno rushed after him. Komodo landed dragging his left hand against the ground. 

whoosh!

Invierno was in front of him already trying to land a blow with is right arms. His right hands were interlocked working as one arm but with twice the force. 

In an instant Komodo's left tentacles grappled Invierno's right arms. 

whooshwhooshwhoosh

Invierno was in the air spinning in circles and then Komodo let go sending him over a hundred steps away.

Komodo ran towards Invierno's direction quickly. But in his vision he could see Invierno holding the ground.

"AAAAAHHHHHHH!" Invierno screamed out.

He was holding the ground with all of his arms. Every fiber of his body was being shown.

BOOM!

In a loud explosion the ground flew up into the air showing massive large boulder size pieces of the ground flying. They were all flying towards Komodo. But Komodo looked at it with a cold stare.

Swish

In an elegant turn of events all the pieces of ground disappeared. With one swing of his halberd Komodo destroyed them.

The smile on Invierno's face widened, he just saw the power Komodo, he knew that this fight was going to be even more fun.

They both ran at each other, they were twenty steps apart Invierno threw a few punches but missed all of them. Invierno jumped into the air aiming to land a kick. But all of Komodo's tentacles flung at him like extra limbs.

Invierno grabbed four of them, the other two stabbed into his back. But Invierno's feet were already on Komodo. Invierno's grip tightened, he was stretching Komodo's tentacles cause him a large amount of pain. The tentacles stretched and stretched until-

Boom!

Komodo got sent flying and Invierno stood their menacingly with a giant grin. He started to spin the tentacles and rushed at Komodo.

...

"You look half dead, Komodo." a voice said.

"This guy might kill you."

"Isn't that your goal?"

"Isn't that what you want to do?"

A cold hand touched his face. 

"I'll be waiting, hmphph," the voice said gilding. 

"No." Komodo said, "I can't die just yet."

A fire grew in Komodo. He stood up and a new set a tentacles came out.

"I still have a promise to keep."

"So I can't give up just yet."

Komodo's hearted pumped more blood than ever, sending a fire in him to erupt. The dried up blood on Komodo burned away as he was shining in some sort of light. But this was no ordinary light, it was his life force!

"Invierno! Lets end this on one final attack." Komodo told.

"One final attack?! Heh, that sounds interesting." Invierno replied, "Lets do that then!"

"I have a trick up my sleeve for this type of stuff." Invierno said in his mind.

Invierno gripped is bottom left into a fist. It was tight, Invierno let out a few deep breathes before looking up. He saw Komodo in front of him a thirty steps ahead.

Komodo's tentacles all wrapped around his right arm and hand. He looked at it as all of the glowing light moved from his body to his arm. He gripped his halberd harder.

They both stared at each other. It was cloudy and not a single peek of sunlight came through. A calm wind blew behind Komodo as he had a stoic expression. While Invierno was smiling with all his heart. The wind, although natural, showed how from now on Komodo was going to push forward. The wind blowing against Invierno showed how he will fight the strongest foes even if they push him back.

boom!

In an instant they both rushed at each other Komodo had his halberd up in the air, while Invierno tucked in his bottom left hand. It was glowing a white color and looked like a flame. 

"KOMODO I"LL TELL YOU WHAT MY ATTACK IS CALLED!" Invierno yelled like a child who wanted to tell his parents something. "THE ATTACK IS CALLED, SPRING EQUINOX!"

"MINE IS CALLED..." Komodo thought for a moment, "GANZHI!"

WHOOSH!

Everything turned white. They both stood there. Invierno's bottom left arm was cut into two and Komodo's halberd was still the same.

Invierno fell to the ground and said, "Damm it. That was my strongest attack yet it didn't do as much damage as yours."

In the sky the clouds were cut into two. The cut stretched miles and looked endless. And in the center there was a giant hole.

After a moment Komodo fell to the ground too, looking at the sky. 

"You've really surprised me, I didn't think you would do that." a voice said while both of its hands touching Komodo's face.
