"Gerecht? Why are you here? Are you apart of these bastards?" King Acheron snorted.
"No. I came here to my own accord. All of you were causing such a ruckus that I wanted to investigate what was happening down here."
"I see."
"I can tell that the people you have defeated are my clansmen and for that I will defeat you." Gerecht said while pointing his sword at King Acheron.
"Heh, defeat me? Your just as weak as them!"
Whoosh
King Acheron charged at Gerecht.
In a blink of an eye Gerecht disappeared from King Acheron's view.
"Don't underestimate me." Gerecht said while holding King Acheron's right shoulder.
King Acheron swung back at full force.
Bang!
Gerecht blocked with his sword but still got sent flying back across the large room.
King Acheron jumped into the air and swung down. Once again Gerecht blocked it causing cracks to form below his feet.
Gerecht gave a slight force and pushed King Acheron a few steps back.
"It seems like you're somewhat of a formidable foe." Gerecht said.
"..."
King Acheron rushed at Gerecht again but this time Gerecht jumped into the air.
Whoosh!
Fire came out of Gerecht's mouth and incinerated King Acheron.
"What type of item made you able to that?" King Acheron said after moving away from the fire.
"It was no item but simply my life force. Don't you know, if you choose spirit you're able to create anything with your life force."
This time Gerecht rushed at King Acheron and they went blow for blow. Unlike Komodo Gerecht always had the upperhand.
Each time Gerecht swung fire would appear from his sword.
They held up this blow for blow confrontation for a minute, until Gerecht blew out a fireball from his mouth causing the explosion to blast King Acheron away.
"You should already give up. I think you can tell I'll be the victor of this confrontation." Gerecht stated.
King Acheron rushed at Gerecht once again, but this time a dragon made of fire appeared behind Gerecht.
Gerecht waved his hand and the fire dragon pounced on King Acheron.
The dragon couldn't breath fire but simply was made out of it. With each attack the dragon took it lost a bit of fire on its body.
While King Acheron was locked onto his fight with the dragon Gerecht came from the side with fire spewing out of his sword.
BANG!
With a loud noise the armor on King Acheron's left arm flew off.
"Finally!" King Acheron shouted.
Whoosh!
With one swing of his arm King Acheron completely destroyed the fire dragon.
"I see, so your armor is holding back your power." Gerecht said.
Purple spirit energy formed around King Acheron's purple spirit.
"It's hard to tell the difference between his true figure and the energy around him. Good think his armor is able to give off his figure." Gerecht said to himself.
Once again King Acheron ran at Gerecht. And this time Gerecht ran at King Acheron too.
Bang!
Their swords collided.
Bang!
...
Bang!
...
Bang!
Each one of their clashes shook the room. Gerecht ran behind King Acheron.
Bang!
King Acheron blocked it.
Gerecht sucked in a great amount of air.
WHOOSH!
A wave of fire came out of his mouth, completely ingulfing King Acheron.
The breath of fire ended and King Acheron still stood there staring at Gerecht.
Gerecht's face was still unmoved.
He knew King Acheron would take the attack. He knew he wasn't strong enough yet.
A quote appeared in his mind, "Son, to be strong is to be right, to be weak is to be wrong. You are strong, you have to know that deep down in your heart."
Then randomly Gerecht shouted.
"I am not strong enough yet. Each challenge I face is going to have to build me up. Each challenge I face will make me stronger. That is my right! I will not lose here, I still have battles to fight! I still have myself!!"
Upon hearing this declaration, Nevooa was jolted awake.
"I still have myself." That quote stuck to Nevooa.
The battle continued on.
In front of him was what seemed to be a fight between two characters in a tale. The righteous knight fighting on a demonic king.
The knight having his own will being turned into fire and being able to express it when fighting. While the demon king, harnessing the power of death.
"Will I ever, reach that kind of power?"
Watching Gerecht's unbroken will Nevooa could feel something growing inside of him. Was it resolve? Was it hope? Was it inspiration?
It was all!
While Nevooa could see Gerecht's will like a bonfire. A small flame was building in Nevooa.
Nevooa's heart was pumping, but these pumps were like two sticks trying to get a fire to start.
This was Nevooa's will right now.
A will, that was simply getting started.
Gerecht and King Acheron continued to fight on.
Each clash between them shook the room.
They jumped from one side of the room to the other. Komodo, Invierno, and Nevooa watched on as the two forces around them fought.
Sometimes Gerecht would make something out of fire like a fireball, crescent, or a dragon face that would smash into King Acheron.
Doing this Gerecht started to gain the upper hand.
Meanwhile King Acheron would use his sword as his main way of attacking and defending. But every once in a while when he got close enough he would try to attack Gerecht with his left arm.
His left arm and head were not bound to the armor they were able unleash bits of King Acheron's true power.
Whoosh!
A massive phoenix was made in the air. It grabbed onto King Acheron with its right talon.
Boom!
It smashed King Acheron into the ground, sending cracks and small rubble everywhere. The phoenix's massive aura engulfed the room.
"I will destroy you with this one blow!" Gerecht thought while his mind continued to crush King Acheron.
crack
crack
Crack
Crack!
CRACK
BOOM!
The armor that was holding in King Acheron exploded. Purple aura was released from the explosion. Completely decimating the phoenix.
At the same time everyone else was shocked and where send flying by the aura.
In a blink of an eye King Acheron was at the end of the room, furthest from the group of people in front of him.
He stabbed his sword into the wall as life energy entered his body.
"HAHAHA!" King Acheron laughed as his power surged.
Everyone had the same thought, "The mountain? Is ALIVE!"
Of course Komodo, Invierno, and Nevooa semi-understood this. But Gerecht just found out by his own inferences.
The purple aura once again rose pushing against the group. Nevooa was sent flying to the other end of the room.
Bam!
Komodo raised his hands as he let out his own life energy resisting King Acheron's. Komodo also did this with the help of Ganzhi.
Two aura's collided.
