Unvanquished Unvanquished was not ready to dodge the blow after committing his body to a physical attack. In a last-resort effort, he pulled his free hand up and blocked the strike with his bracer. The lightweight armor was not meant to withstand a synergy-charged blow, let alone one from someone who had perfected such a technique. The plate shattered to pieces and fell from his arm. Unvaquished, however, would not let the destrucion of his defenses blind his view of the bigger picture; Xaiamut had used up his lightswords and would not be able to use Counter on the Lunar Strike now. With his Lunar Strike charged as much as he could manage (9 lightswords), Unvaquished let loose a fast inward vertical slash aimed at the neck and collar region. Eyes go wide in surprise and then... "Luminary...Sapphire...."Xaiamut glows in a deep blue and wisks away from the strike. However, a small nick had gotten through on the neck. "That was close, on both accounts. Going full force and attacking me at my weakest moment was quite strategic...and very close." Soothes his neck from the injury. "But you didn't take into account the other techniques of the Lunar Arts. The one I just used, Sapphire Luminary, increased my speed in time to dodge your attack." Xaiamut then points his sword at him. "You were also close in that your attack was nearly the Zero Divide, or at least the force of energy for it. And your focus was dead on. Now all that's needed is the will. Bring that in and Zero Divide will manifest. Xaiamut waves his sword into a defensive stance and beckons. "Care to try again?"

Unvanquished rose after the attack slowly, still looking down at his blade. "Hm... Just what I expected from my sensei," he admonished. He lifted his sword, turning it over in his hands before sheathing it. "I would most prefer not to be held back against though. I know that that stirke would not have scathed you if you were fully serious. And so..." He one foot back, scratching against the ground like a bull grinding it's hoofs. "I have refrained from using my Way while training in the Lunar Arts. Now I will use both. Sensei, please, hold back no longer--" When Unvanquished finally looked up at his master again, his eyes were red with subdued fury of ethereal origin. "--or you'll die." Soon his body was engulfed in a seething red glow, trailing off of his back and shoulders like steam. A wheel of fire appeared on either side, and his arms rose to grap thier centers, each removing a weapon from either before they dispelled into air. The two swords spoke of fury in themselves. One was thick and vicuously curved, with a skull-shaped pommel and no crossguard. The blade was black, but covered in cracks through which magma coursed. The other was staight, an arming blade, with it's entire blade wrapped in flames, all the way down to a gilded handle. He drew both back into an attacking stance. "Gokami-Ken ryu kenjitsu, fire..."

Closes his eyes and nods with understandining. "I see. I guess it can't be helped... Very well. Let it be as you wish."Xaiamut unsheaths his second sword, Excalibur, and in a whip of ki, whirls both swords around, instantly summoning ten lightswords around himself. "Gokami-Ken ryu kenjitsu, learn the truth of the Holy Sword of the Lunar Force. If this is truly what you desire..."Xaiamut's eyes open and reveal that they are pure blue, with black slits in place of his pupils like a serpent's. "...then come."

Unvanquishedwith a wordless acknoledgement, lunged forwad with such force that the his foothold crumbled as his feet left the ground. In a revolving spin, one sword slammed against the ground, producing a vertical wave of fire in Xaiamut's direction, while the impact of the blow sent Unvanquished upwards. Unvanquished came down brandishing both blades with overpowering strength just as the wave reached Xaiamut, attempting a two-pronged attack from both in front and above. This was the fire form of Gokami-ken. It's user would channel the power of flames through their bodies and weapons, and the raw boost to physical strength was greater than that of the Luminary techniques.

Archs his shouder back slightly, Xaiamut levels his swords. "You underestimate Luminary. For that...Diamond!"His body glows in bright white and he dives into the attack with a Lunar Aura Strike that flashes out like lightning. The result is a clashing of energies that explodes in a shockwave and that tears up the grounds around it.

The resulting cloud of dust and debris covered all from sight. From the malestrom of gravel, a red beast burst out. Unvanquished charged straight at Xaiamut like a bull and lept upwards, spinning his body horrizontally in middair with both blades extended outward, forming a wheel of fire sent crashing down at his opponent. The power behind the swing alone could cut steel with ease, or cleave glass without shattering it. For fire is rooted in passion, and passion was what granted Unvanquished this godlike strength. Charging, attacking viciously, and with titanic force; this was the essecence of the fire form.

Charging, attacking viciously, and with titanic force; this was the essecence of the fire form. Xaiamut frowns and crosses his swords. Waving them in a circle... "Luminary Emerald! Luna Aura Shield!"The combination of techniques forms a formidable defense that takes the massive attack, but pushes Xaiamut back somewhat. He lowers his blade and regards his opponent. "Hm. Even with both Shield and Emerald, he was still able to force me back. This power of his, Gokami-ken, is quite a force to be reckoned with."Looks up at Unvanquished, "But...the passion that fuels your fire can be quelled with the calmness of the nightlight."Begins to glow in a burning white aura. "And since you are too powerful for this to be considered a simple spar..." Lifts both his swords in the air and the light begin to brim. "...Then I will have to use my own secret arts. Starting with my favorite." The light suddenly shoots out through the opening in the cave and forms into a gigantic blade of light. "Kishin-Ryusen-Kai!!!!!!!!!!!"Slashes down with the tremendous force and power of the moonlight!

Unvanquished watched grimly as the blade came down with the knowledge that he had no immediate way of stopping it. He made a silent shift from the offensive nature of the fire form. Just as the sword came down, Unvanquished closed his eyes, his firey aura changing to a steady glow.
The blade struck, and another cloud of dust flew into the surrounding area.
When it finally died down, something large came into view.
A tremendous sphere covered in japanese kanji stood in the crater created from the impact. It's swirling copper-and-black-colored surface shone with refracted light; it was clearly made of raw metals, combined and hardeded into a powerful shield.
"Earth form, Tsuchi Yousai..."
The sphere sunk into the ground, as if merging with the very earth, leaving no traces of entry behind.
"The next move is yours, master..."

"So you went straight from offense to defense. Quite a feat to do it so quickly as such transitions are difficult. But enough talk."Spreads wings and goes in for a charging attack. But halfway, Xaiamut's lightswords flail out once again and he waves on of his swords forward. "Lunar Aura! Crescent Moon Shadow!"The lightswords all fly out from him and toward Unvanquished.

Unvanquished did not flinch; the indomitability was trademark of the earth form.
"To master Gokami-ken is to master one's spirit. And before this is over, I plan to show you the strength of mine."
In a clear, resolute voice, he called, "Kakure Tsuchi Yousai!"
Another metalic sphere appeared and merged into the ground, this time, encircling Unvanquished and taking him with it. Unvanquished had dissappeared completely and in a mere moment, the lightswords hitting only air in their flight.
Without a rumble, without a sound, earthen pillar shot up to Xaiamut's side diagonally, aiming for a blow on his upper body.

And before this is over, I plan to show you the strength of mine." In a clear, resolute voice, he called, "Tsuchi Yousai Ume!"

Unvanquished had dissappeared completely and in a mere moment, the lightswords hitting only air in their flight. Without a rumble, without a sound, earthen pillar shot up to Xaiamut's side diagonally, aiming for a blow on his upper body. Because he is partly flying, Xaiamut bends off to the side, causing him to glide off to the side. Wheeling around, he hovers in the air and quickly points his blades at the pillar. A sphere of light forms in between them. "Lunar Sphere!"Xaiamut fire a medium-sized ball of energy at the pillar, staying in the air all the while to see what happens.

The pillar bbreaks and returns to the ground. Only silence follows, save the sound of the cool twilight wind whistling throughout the hallowed mouth of the cave. The surroudnings remained in this state for a moment.
Then...
"Tsuchi Orochi Daigeki."
With an sudden crash, a gigantic snake erupted from the ground and trailed skywards. It looped in the air and dove down at Xaiamut , using it's gained height to charge downwards with its whole body behind it, like a train. It opened it's jaws wide, ready to sink it's fangs into it's prey.

"Mirror Force!"The swords counter the snake's strike and a energy wave emits out, tearing the snake apart. But Xaiamut feels that it was a distraction and awaits the true attack.

As the first snake fell, returning to the earth, a second snake began to form... right under Xaiamut's feet. Two enormous lips appeared, followed by fangs. By the time the gravel of the first snake reached the ground, a full head emerged with jaws on either of his sides, poised to snap shut on Xaiamut's waistline. If caught (and assuming he would not snap in half), he would be pulled underground by the snake's head.

'Hm, a surprise after all.'Forms four lightswords and the snake's mouth encompasses around his waist. "Lunar Aura...Seal!"The lightswords flash out, hooking the snake in each fang, stopping the snake from biting down and allowing Xaiamut to fly out. Hovering above it, Xaiamut summons forth the same pillar of energy as before. "Kishin Ryusen Kai!!!!!"The pillar beam of light flashed down and vaporized the snake and continued on into the ground, hoping to force out Unvanquished from beneath.
