Welcome to Gaia! ::

With the lupine equivalent of laughter Guardian bounded nimbly away as the dojo was cloven in twain... and collapsed in on itself. This was getting more and more fun. Tail wagging Guardian waited for Shar's next move, and gathered extra power for any shockwaves he might need to do.

And as the blade came down, Guardian yet again seemed to blur and shot around the blade as it slammed into the ground, throwing up a massive cloud of dust, and obscuring the incorporeal wolf from sight... If he could laugh in this state... he would, but seeing as laughing audibly would require being able to move air mollecules... and he was incorporeal... he couldnt. instead he just closed the gap with Shar, and started circling randomly around him like some demented black tornado. ever so often out of the blurry mass a seemingly smiling wolfs head would "form" and look at shar... Of course, it was all just spiffy tricks... since in this form shar couldnt touch him, and he coulnt touch shar....



Until in a suprise move he re-solidified behind shar... and instantly let loose all the pent up shockwave energy he had stored up... seeming to go off like an even bigger "bomb" than earlier... roughly double the blast effect.

And as the wolf fell.... the arrow pierced somewhat into his ungodly hard flesh... It hurt... and hurt alot... but even still... by the time he landed on all fours amidst a cloud of dust and debris on the ground the arrow was nearly all the way expelled and the wound was rapidly healing... He may not have an "obelisk" class weapon, or many mystical abilities... but what he lacked in those, he more than made up for in sheer toughness and pure, raw... strength. Shaking the dust from his fur Guardian started padding towards Shar, yet again gathering in energy for another shockwave from the seemingly inexhasuatbe "gauntlets". This was the most fun romp he'd had in a long while... he only hoped his "playmate" had as much endurance as he.

As the second arrow starts to snake its way around him, Guardian growls low in his throat, and starts moving, to make the twin snakes job harder.... Thinking fast, he gets an idea, and projects a form-fitting field around his head, teeth/mouth, and neck... As he's concentrating the snakes of course, wrap more around him... until he reaches down to seemingly tug at the two lines of "soul-stuff" connected to the staff.... trying to pull them back a little... as if trying to gain slack. Then bites down as the fields around his teeth form into mono-edges... and cut cleanly through. Of course the instant the two lines sever... he rolls sideways, and discorporates, shifting into a dark blurry "cloud" that rolls along the ground towards shar's position. Doing so however broke his concentration, and used up the excess energy he'd been building up for his next shockwave.

Slowly forming back into physical shape on the ground, Guardian growled, his luminous rusty-red eyes closed, and his hackles raised. He seemed to be concentrating, hard.... whatever he was doing, he was ignoring the writhing mass of soul-stuff. on the ground, and, for the moment, seemingly ignoring Shar.

As Half of Obelisk came hurtling down towards him, Guardian raised his muzzle and let out an unearthly howl... and released the pent up energy...

Instead of being a massive shockwave blast like before... This one, was nearly invisible. Its effects however, definitely wouldnt be. A veritable storm, of almost unbelievably thin, high velocity ring-style shockwaves shot out, expanding as they went. Collectively they formed a sphere shape... the half-mollecule-wide waves sliding fairly effortlessly through nearby solid matter, like white hot knives through butter... followed by a somewhat weaker (by comparison) concussive shockwave, that literally shoved the cut materials away... All this happened as Obelisk came down... and it would be caught in the effects as well as the writhing masses of soulstuff and maybe on the very extreme edge... Shar, and the other half of obelisk, but by the time it reached that range it would have lost much cohesion, and not be anywhere near as deadly.

As the shockwaves tore through the right half, Guadian lowered his muzzle... and saw shar backing off... As the right half of Obelisk started its death-throes Guardian merely discorporated followed Shar on the ground. Clearly visible in the somewhat amorphous black shape of his ethereal form, Guardian's face seemed to smile up at Shar from amidst the chaos... He was having fun, and quite a bit of it. For now, he ignored the man-shape forming out of the energy, and floated slowly up into the air to follow shar, still with that grinning face.
