Luis was aware of what that ball of wind would do to him if Michael was going to use it to do what he was thinking he was going to do.
He tried to run forward and redirect that attack before he could send it towards him but he was too slow as Michael had released the wind ball before he could even get close to him.
He didn't send the ball directly to hit the Angel instead he had sent it from below as the wind ball pulled him back from below until he had gotten smashed into the wall again.

'I told you this wasn't going to be easy and I am ninety percent sure that you're going to lose.' Lena said to Luis who was groaning on the floor.
'I have to try Lena, I have to get those exps.' Luis replied slowly getting up from the floor.
'Well the only way to beat someone stronger than you is to outsmart the person and I definitely don't know how you're going to outsmart him.' Lena said.
Luis let out a deep sigh as he was going to try something out.
"You're not even trying Luis," Michael said.
'If only I had wind ability I would use that tornado kick on him.' Luis though.
'But you can….'
'No, I haven't made my choice yet.'
'Ok but even if you have made your choice, don't you think he would counter it with his own tornado kick?'
Luis summoned his flaming sword, activated its skill, and then made the flames wilder and longer with his fire ability.
"I was wondering when you were going to do that," Michael said as he got his sword ready.
Luis took two steps forward and sent the extended flames flying towards the CEO.
Michael didn't move from where he was standing but just as the flames were about to hit him he slashed his Katana blade up to release a rush of wind which blew the flames up and away from him before using a kick to send out a wind slash which knocked the sword off Luis' hand.
'Fire ability is not the only ability you have Luis.' Lena said.
Luis didn't try to pick up his flaming sword which was extinguished now as he formed tiny earth blades in his hands and quickly sent them flying towards Michael.
"Sorry Luis," Michael said as he used his wind ability to trap the blades before quickly sending them back to Luis.
Luis tried to control them with his earth ability but the force of the wind was just too much for him as the blades hit him and the force of the wind sent him flying until he had crashed into the wall.

"Arghhh." The Angel groaned as he used his earth ability to get the blade out of his skin.
[ -20 Energy ]
[ +10 HP ]
His wounds had immediately closed up as soon as he had removed the earth blades from his skin.
It was really frustrating that he had not been able to get any hit on Michael yet he had already lost half of his HP.
"You're not trying Luis, I know you can do better than this," Michael said.
"Arghh!" The Angel yelled as he quickly sprang up and sent two water blade slashes towards Michael.
Michael caught the water blade slashes with his wind ability and quickly sent them back to Luis who had gotten out of the way before they could hit him.
'And I was thinking my speed had improved to a good level.' Luis thought.
[ +2 stat points added to Agility ]
He was saving those stat points to use them when they would really matter and to him now was the time.
The boost wasn't going to be that noticeable but at least it was going to help.
"I told you not to hold back Luis," Michael said.
"Does it look like I'm holding back?" Luis asked forming a bubble of water in his hands.
He wanted to form a water blade slash that would cover the entire room and send it toward Michael but he feared that Michael would send it back to him and then he would have to suffer the consequences of his own attack.
He blasted the water bubble towards Michael and since it wasn't that large, it was super easy for the CEO to avoid as it flew past him and hit the wall.
"That really wasn't the attack I was expecting," Michael said.
"I'm not done yet," Luis said as a mischievous smile made its way to his face.
It didn't take Michael long to realize what he meant by that as he felt a stinging pain in his leg.
Luis had turned the water behind him into a water blade and had controlled it to stab him in the leg.
Michael fell to one knee as the water blade had pierced really deep into his leg.
Luis knew this was his chance as he rushed towards him and tried to send a kick directly to his head but Michael had caught his leg with one of his hands before using the other to blast him back with a wind blast.
Luis knew something like this was going to happen which was why he had something planned.
He had equipped the double Katanas as soon as Michael had blasted him with his wind blast.
The Katana blades took most of the attack for him and that alone had been enough to fill their gauges halfway.
"Oh, I see that's what you meant by mystic weapons," Michael said. "I didn't know you took the blades."
"Why don't you blast me with some more wind blasts?" Luis said.
"I'm not stupid Luis," Michael said with a chuckle as he slowly and staggeringly got up back on his feet. "I built those blades and although they are just intermediary weapons, they are really dangerous."
Luis didn't say anything as an idea of how to get to fill the gauge of the blades had come to his mind.
He turned to the wall threw the blades towards it and was about to blast them with an attack when he felt a stinging pain on his back which led to him flying to the side and the blades dropping to the floor without getting hit by anything.
[ -20 HP ]
"I don't know about you Luis but I'm done holding back," Michael said looking at the Angel who was slowly getting up from the floor.
"You have been holding back?" Luis groaned.
Michael didn't say anything as he quickly sped towards the Angel and was now sending kicks and punches at him.
Luis couldn't keep up as Michael was using his wind ability to make himself way faster.
He kept receiving kicks and punches until his HP had gone down to two.
[ 2/120 HP ]
His Energy needed space to activate and add a little number to his HP and Michael wasn't giving him that space.
The Angel had dropped to his knees expecting his Energy to trigger off but he didn't receive any message.
"You're not yet ready Luis."
Those were the last words he heard from Michael before his vision faded.
