With the loud call, Jarvis lunged forward like a cloak of darkness spiraling through the distance and towards Cor-Ellion, as he got closer he busted out of the spiraling form, revealing his sword, he feigned attacks from different angles, probing for weaknesses in Cor-Ellion's defenses.
But the asura stood still in one place, it knew all along that they were all fakes— filling out the space caused by Jarvis's surprised state, Crimson swiftly rolled in a twirl of sword strike that Cor-Ellion caught spot on and deflected with a flick of his finger.
While Crimson flew away, Jarvis had regained himself and swung a strike full of sheer force, a strike that parted the air as it wound towards Cor-Ellion, but the royal asura was far from being caught off guard, he sidestepped– even when Jarvis changed the trajectory he ducked and counted with a kick to Jarvis' groin.
Cor-Ellion grinned widely and imdiately disappeared, the next mont he was reappearing before Antares with his hands swinging from behind about to carve a hole into Antares's head—but Crimson struck forward, as he appeared, with desperation to catch up with him before his hand landed on Antares, Crimson blurred forward almost disintegrating and was very comparable to the swift movent of lightning.
He reached Cor-Ellion just as his hand ca down on Antares–
KANG!!
A tallic sound reverberated through the landscape as the two of them stumbled back from the impact. Cor-Ellion looked at Crimson with a confused expression.
"I didn't see you to be anything threatening. Perhaps I was wrong to overlook you."
"I didn't need you to save ," Antares growled.
"Yes sure, you're welco." Crimson did not take his eyes off Cor-Ellion even though he spoke to Antares.
It was for a mont but he did it, he was able to catch up with Cor-Ellion.
"All that desperation all for what? A hole in the belly." He giggled.
It was until then that Crimson lowered his gaze, and there it was a large hole sitting right in the middle of him, he might have succeeded in catching up to Cor-Ellion's speed but it was still within Cor-Ellion's range of expectations and the asura still had to spare ti to plunge another blow into him, although that gave Crimson the edge to block the one that was being aid at Antares.
Crimson gasped as he finally understood that it was not that he caught up with Cor-Ellion but rather, Cor-Ellion allowed him to catch up with him so this could happen.
The royal asura shook his head in pity. It was fun to watch them struggle.
"You are not there yet, if this is the kind of inner strength you are willing to bring out to save your master then you guys are not serious, maybe I placed too many expectations on you."
Within a sudden burst of energy, Jarvis blasted forward, his great sword slicing through the air with blurring speed as he approached Cor-Ellion from behind.
The royal asura responded with a godly speed, his form flickering in and out of sight as he evaded Jarvis's attacks with ease. Despite Cor-Ellion's evasive maneuvers, Jarvis reorganized his movent in that selfsa second as though he was expecting the asura's movents—he turned in the Cor-Ellion's direction, attempting to corner him and press the advantage.
The battle between them beca a srizing display of skill and precision, each move executed with deadly intent—Jarvis trying to ensnare Cor-Ellion within his clever traps and feints. He used the terrain to his advantage, forcing Cor-Ellion to react to his attacks, instead of the other way around–but even so, it was not like he was still able to land a blow on him. They kept going back and forth but Cor-Ellion had completely lost control of the battle flow.
This was the first ti that such a thing would happen. It beca evident to him imdiately, that he was fighting a soldier full of experiences, Jarvis had probably been in battle longest amongst them all, not to say now that he was closer, there was an unsettling aura about him.
He suddenly retreated and paused with his hands behind his back.
"There is sothing about you. I can't put my fingers around it but there is sothing about you. I can feel it, what are you?"
Jarvis did not respond but left behind red lightning streaks as he closed the distance within a ti so comndable that Cor-Ellion was shocked.
Following that, Jarvis unleashed a devastating combination of strikes that threatened to overwhelm Cor-Ellion. Blow after blow landed with astonishing force, pushing the royal asura back.
For a brief mont, Cor-Ellion found himself on the defensive, surprised by the sheer ferocity, power, and intensity of Jarvis's assault. The way he used his sword, it was almost like an extension of himself, moving with a fluidity that defied comprehension. Jarvis's body moved with surprising speed, matching Cor-Ellion blow for blow.
The surroundings echoed with the sound of clashing steel and the shockwaves of their collisions. Jarvis's eyes blazed with a red smoky aura as he pressed his advantage, throwing strike after strike after Cor-Ellion even though everything was being deflected. His heart pounded in his chest as he felt the thrill of matching an opponent as powerful as Cor-Ellion.
"Tsck..." Cor-Ellion clicked his tongue with irritation written all over his face.
A royal Asura was never to be underestimated in any way.
Cor-Ellion's eyes narrowed at Jarvis, giving him a jolt of shock that would have caused any other opponent to jump back but Jarvis was stubborn, he lunged his next attack regardless but his attack did not touch—it was as if it was stopped by an invisible shield. Cor-Ellion's hand was stretched forward and the space in front of it was swirling and pulling space into itself.
Cor-Ellion lifted his gaze from the spiraling space and looked at Jarvis.
"You disgust "
The spiraling escalated into a burst that blurred into a flurry of motions, showing Cor-Ellion a million possibilities of speed paths veiled within the vortex of subspace.
The asura's finger slowly pushed through and touched Jarvis—with that soft touch, Cor-Ellion delivered a devastating blow that sent Jarvis crashing and hurtling through the ground, his great sword fell from his grasp, and he struggled to rise.
Cor-Ellion sighed, "Impressive, quite impressive. Irritating but very very impressive, you made stop looking around, that is comndable. Now anyone else wants to try?"
