Kye knew that he couldn't dwell long in his thought and rushed toward the monster.
As the clash of the weapons echoed through the clearing, Kye realized that this was going to be a long and tough fight. The beetle-like monster was strong and durable, but Kye was fast and agile. The two opponents circled each other, waiting for the perfect opportunity to strike.
Kye darted forward, his wings flapping furiously as he slashed his sword toward the monster's head. But the latter was ready and blocked the attack with its spear. The impact was so powerful that Kye was thrown back, tumbling across the ground before finally coming to a stop.
Kye quickly got up, his eyes focused on the monster. He knew he had to be more careful and precise with his attacks. He couldn't afford to waste any energy or take any unnecessary risks.
? The beetle-like monster charged toward Kye, its spear held high. Kye dodged to the side, narrowly avoiding the attack. He then flew upwards, his wings propelling him higher and higher until he was almost touching the treetops.
From above, Kye could see the monster searching for him, its eyes scanning the area for any sign of movement. Kye took this opportunity to gather his energy and focus his mind. He closed his eyes for a moment, took deep breaths, and then opened them again, his sword glowing with a bright red aura.
He charged towards the monster again, his sword aimed for its weak point. The monster swung its spear, but Kye flew right under the attack and slashed his sword across its chest. The monster roared in pain, but it wasn't enough to take it down. The beetle-like monster swung its arms, trying to hit Kye, but he was too fast and agile.
Kye flew around the monster, dodging its attacks and striking whenever he could. His sword glowed with energy, and each strike left a trail of red light behind it. The monster was weakening, but it was still dangerous.
Suddenly, the monster's wounds began to regenerate, its carapace healing itself rapidly. Kye gritted his teeth in frustration, realizing that this fight was far from over.
The beetle-like monster let out a deafening roar, its eyes now glowing with a fierce red light. Kye knew that he was in for a tough battle, but he refused to give up. He circled the monster, watching for any sign of weakness, but the monster seemed to be invincible.
'Shit I don't have enough power to take it down with one strike.' Kye was right. He was indeed fast and gave him a great advantage over this fight as he was sure he would have already died if it wasn't for that, but he couldn't end this fight either because he didn't have enough strength.
He thought that maybe it will be a good idea to use Ras' power again, but he doubted it would have any effect.
It was at this moment Kye got a new idea.
Kye flew towards the monster again, his sword glowing darker than. This time, he used his own power and not someone else's.
He indeed coated his sword with his cosmic ability. He didn't know if it would have a good effect, but he still needed to try. After all, cosmic ability was a very destructive power.
He aimed for its head, hoping to land a decisive blow. But the monster was ready, and it swung its spear toward Kye, who barely managed to dodge in time before retracting back again.
[Archangel Uriel wonders why you aren't using your angel ability.]
'Angel ability? What is she talking about? My holy power won't have any effect on the monster right now.' Kye looked at the sky, thinking that Uriel was likely to look back at him, but right at this moment, he felt the beetle-like monster jump toward him to attack him again.
Kye quickly snapped out of his thoughts, narrowly avoiding the monster's attack. He flew around it, trying to create some distance between them, but the monster was relentless, following him wherever he went.
Kye knew he had to act fast. He try to concentrate his energy and focused his mind, calling upon his holy energy. Suddenly, his sword began to glow with a bright golden light, and his wings grew bigger and stronger. However, using so much holy energy was taking a toll on his body.
The monster looked confused and startled by the sudden change in Kye's power. It hesitated for a moment, giving Kye the perfect opportunity to strike.
With a powerful swoop, Kye charged toward the monster, his sword held high. He aimed for the monster's head, hoping to land a decisive blow. However, the monster swung its spear to stop Kye again.
But against all odds, it wasn't Kye who got pushed back, but the monster instead.
"How?" The monster was shocked as it clashed its weapon again with Kye's sword, but it was the same.
But unfortunately for Kye, he couldn't continue like this and slowed down the flux of holy energy in his body, taking him back to his previous state.
It wasn't that he didn't want to continue with this power, but it was just that he couldn't. If he indeed continued like this, he would die of exhaustion rather than because of his opponent.
The beetle-like monster seemed to sense that Kye was weakening and seized the opportunity to strike. It swung its spear, aiming for Kye's head, but this time, Kye didn't manage to dodge and the spear pierced his arm.
"Arghhhh"
Kye groaned in pain before flying back to think a little. Thankfully, the monster didn't follow him and looked tired as well.
Kye's body was beginning to ache from the exertion, but he refused to give up. No, rather, he couldn't give up. He thought back to his friends who might wait for him, motivating him again.
The monster flew again Kye and swung its spear, but Kye was too fast. He flew right above the attack and sliced his sword across the monster's chest, leaving a deep cut. The monster roared in pain, but it wasn't enough to take it down.
Kye landed on the ground, his wings resting a little behind him. He took a few steps back, watching the monster closely. He knew that he had to find another way to defeat it. He looked at his sword, which was now glowing with a faint blue light.
He realized that he had another power he could use. He raised his sword once again, his eyes glowing with determination. He focused his mind and summoned the water that protected him earlier. Aria's power was by no means weak, and he knew that with it, he might find a way to win.
Suddenly, a torrent of water shot out of the ground, hitting the monster with incredible force. The monster stumbled backward, drenched and disoriented.
Kye flew towards the monster again, taking the opportunity to raise his sword high. He aimed for its head, hoping to end the fight once and for all. But the monster was quick enough to dodge the attack and even counterattack him.
Kye spun in the air, his wings flapping furiously as he tried to regain his balance. The monster swung its spear, but Kye dodged to the side, flying around the monster once again.
He knew that he couldn't keep this up forever.
[Archangel Uriel is annoyed by your weak power.]
"Shut up!" Kye shouted in the air as he couldn't care less about what Uriel was thinking about him right now.
Kye clutched his wounded arm as he tried to come up with a new plan. He knew he couldn't let his guard down, even for a moment if he wanted to win this fight. He needed to find a way to weaken the monster's healing ability and land a final blow.
As he flew higher into the sky, Kye decided to use all of his strength to end this fight. It was a gamble as he didn't know if it would work, but he had to do something as this fight continued for too long.
The beetle-like monster understood Kye's intention and decided to do the same. It has been a long time since it had such a thrilling fight, so it could at least answer his opponent's last will by showing him how different they were.
Kye started to concentrate to mix all of the power inside him into his blade. If it was a normal sword, it would have probably crumbled under the pressure of the opposite power clenching with each other, but he knew that Lightbringer wasn't a normal sword. Thus, the latter accepted his holy power, his cosmic ability, Aria's power, as well as Ras' power.
The four powers were roaring at each other as they started to stabilize into the sword. The power behind it was so strong that gales of winds appeared around the battlefield.
[Archangel Uriel is impressed by the different powers you used.]
[Archangel Uriel is looking closely at your sword.]
[Archangel Uriel is shocked by the sword you have in your hand.]
'Why is everyone shocked with my sword? Is it that special?' Kye thought before shaking his head. He looked at his opponent.
On the other side, the monster focused its power on its spear as it created the same reaction as Kye.
Violent winds spread into the battlefield while Kye looked at the monster on the ground from the air.
It would be their last clash.
The decisive clash.
