1912 Distortion
Ryu smiled lightly. 'Is that so?'
Gemini and Savannah appeared at once, their eyes still sowhat murky and glazed over. It took them a mont to understand what was happening, and then they both looked at Ryu at the sa ti.
The two were simply too beautiful. One had flowing pink hair and the other had flowing blue… or so it seed. The latter's, that being Gemini, had hair that was almost ocean-like in its texture and look. It was more of a greenish blue than just a normal blue, and it even changed slightly in tone and shade as it danced in the wind.
Ryu took a breath and summoned Hrakka.
DOOM.
The Fire Giant lady landed with a heavy thud. Ryu had placed her on the ground, but almost the instant she appeared, whatever ground there had been sank down considerably.
At the mont, she was dressed in an armor of pearly white. She had been caught looking down at herself when she appeared, and it took her a mont to realize that her master had summoned her.
After hearing about Hrakka's wishes, Ryu found sothing else for her to wear.
Technically speaking, this armor was actually Iseine's, but he took it for Hrakka. This would certainly get him a rant later on, but he only chuckled about it.
Iseine was certainly the most disobedient of his won. It would be a good chance to set so things straight about their relationship.
Technically, without the word of his father, she would still only be considered a concubine to him and not a wife. But one way or another, she was his woman now, so he would treat her well… after she understood who her man was.
…
Everyone was quite stunned, though Ryu didn't expect them to be. He had been using Chaos Qi this entire ti, so he would have thought that they would have long since noticed.
What he didn't know was that no one had comnted on his Chaos Qi because no one had sensed it. In fact, they were having a hard ti sensing the exact details of the battle overall. Or, at least, they were having trouble with Ryu.
This was definitely thanks to Ailsa. Much like Aika had protected him during his second Throne challenge, Ailsa was doing the sa now, although in a far more subtle fashion.
…
Ryu took a breath. "This battle will be yours, Hrakka. Show what you have."
BOOM!
Hrakka responded by slamming her long ax with her fist. The latter should have given way, but instead, there was a cascade of blue flas that sparkled into the surroundings.
Hrakka roared, and compared to her usual docile and gentle voice, this sounded like the true call of a beast.
BOOM!
She rushed forward, swinging out her ax madly.
Ryu observed from the side, trying to figure out sothing.
Did he believe that Hrakka could win this battle on her own? The likelihood was near zero. Although he had helped her talent, it had been too soon and her other strengths had yet to keep up.
He couldn't give her a Dao to master and he couldn't help increase her Inheritances. Though he was able to use his Dao to help guide people down their right paths, that also took ti.
Unfortunately, without his eyes, this was also much harder. He couldn't support Hrakka in battle like he had Lu'card, and that made things much more difficult.
However, Hrakka could certainly give him ti.
Within the first exchange, it was clear that she was at a severe disadvantage. But that disadvantage was still not nearly as severe as one would think should be the case. Even Ryu was a bit surprised.
In this situation, if he had his eyes, it would certainly be an easy victory. But instead… it seed that they would have to take a different path.
Ryu slowly pressed his hands together and his gaze flashed.
A projection of his Inner World began to manifest, but it was slow and hindered. His Inner World was directly connected with his eyes, so with one part of the connection ruined, it was almost impossible to take advantage of this ability.
Ryu knew this, which was why he hadn't been using his Inner World. But since this was the final battle, he might as well go all out regardless of the cost.
Realizing that this still wasn't enough, though, Ryu's Bone Structure thrumd with life and his Cosmos Fog began to manifest.
It was only then that the two won seed to realize that sothing was wrong. But Hrakka was too large, and her flas too overbearing, for them to take her lightly.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
Ryu took a breath once again and Darkness began to pervade the region.
With a flash, space and ti began to distort.
During his Dao Heart's exploration of Dark, Light, and Ice, it realized sothing. In his body, he didn't just have these three perfect paths. In fact, compared to his Spaceti comprehension, his comprehension of Darkness, Light, and Ice was all pitifully weak.
It could be said that he had absorbed the equivalent of a far stronger Holy World of Space and Ti affinity long ago.
So why did he not have any techniques of Spaceti?
The actual reason was that this knowledge wasn't as easily accessible. He had given up raw knowledge for potential instead, so it was harder to read into.
However, with his talent, if he really, truly focused… why couldn't he?
His Dao Heart hadn't succeeded in creating a powerful technique just yet, likely because what it would create would be beyond anything he ever had before… beyond [A God's Brush], beyond [Heavenly Dao Tree], beyond [— Judgnt]…
However, that didn't an that there were no gains. His thoughts had beco more flexible and the ways he implented Spaceti had changed sothing.
"[Distortion]." Ryu said lightly.
At that mont, the two won were completely frozen in ti. Their eyes could only widen agonizingly slowly as Hrakka's ax cut them both in two.
