Welcome to Gaia! ::

"right..."

The figure would advance on the target,his sword held down so he could put himself a few feet away from his opponent.Apparently the silver haired man was planning on a actual duel.Including the five foot span that barely held the two away from each other.

The blade would raise to be held diagnol and level with Ninigs chest.As if he was planning on using a different style.His left hand would grip the backside of the blade,hinting at how he intended to use this weapon.

"Usually i dispense formalitys befor battle...but for some reason i just don't seem to care today."

A deep breath to gather Chi,and that one maroon puppil would close.Why he chose to fight blind wasn't apparent,but he was clearly in a fighting stance and from the way his body shifted itself upward,he was either waiting for a blow,or about to strike at the most opportune moment.

In anycase the opponent had been measure by now.On a variety of different aspects.

Ninig wasn't going to back down,but he didn't expect much challenge.

....Curses.

Another mistake on Snow's part. Only by commencing the attack did Snow realize how bad it was on his part.

Not enough damage. Not enough charge and attack to injure the foe at all. He should've added more strength behind the attack, and perhaps not aim for Omi's torso.
His grip on Omi's wrist could've been placed differently; instead of grabbing it, Snow should have had it glide up Omi's arm, landing a harsh blow right on the opponent's throat with his knuckles.

Or, perhaps yanking the katana away from Omi's position, doing a spin tangent around Caladbolg during the pull so that Snow can perform another slash, this time at Omi's back neck or right torso....

But with the die cast, there's nothing else to do, but to acknowledge the mistake.

Still balancing himself on one leg, Snow slowly lowered his other foot, giving a mutual look at Caladbolg's uncomfortable closeness to his own neck. "It seems that I underestimated your armor....."

A bit of silence as Snow slackened his grip on Omi's wrist. "Very well. But prepare yourself for the next round..." He muttered with a small pout, pushing himself away from Omi before turning around, getting to a decent distance for the next round.

Out of all the people he'd fought, Snow has almost no chance against fire users, especially those that can manipulate fire. With his skills revolving around, particularly, ice, it isn't amusing when the opponent has the advantage in firepower and defense.

"Not again..." He groaned, rubbing his forehead with irritation. Blades of grass around his feet begin to stiffen as a blue, misty aura expelled out of his body.

The ground froze momentarily.
Moisture in the air begin to condense, forming small droplets of frozen ice orbs. As the mist dissipated a few seconds later, the orbs expanded quickly in size, warmed up by the environment's temperature to explode in a misty haze.

For a while the area around Snow's parameter is completey obscured by that thick, white misty haze. If not for the continuous sounds of ice spreading out from where he stood, it is certainly noticeable how even in the warmth of Omi's flames, the air is starting to get pretty chilly now....

"Let's go." Snow finally said, a a sudden strong wind blowing the mist away, followed with some new adornments on Snow's body.

His armor on the hands is now visible, showing the bracers he wore which were shining in an odd, bluish tint. A slight transparent circle, slightly larger in size than his outstretched hand is seen around Snow's wrist, each end of the circle decorated with six diamonds, which upon closer looks seems to be made of ice. Flexing the hand a bit, Snow grabbed his katana once more, giving a light swing at the nearby tree.

Though quite a distance away - about three meters, per se - the length of the katana would seem to increase in distance to anyone watching the swing. And with that same swing, a clear crisp of the katana's slash would appear on the tree itself, followed by a thunderous shatter of the blade itself.

Feeling content with the result, Snow aimed the katana back at Omi, the original length unscathed, and unharmed.

The trick behind the length?
He'll reveal it soon in battle.

What better conflict in a battle, than a difference between fire and ice? Having no real solutions to actually defeat a fiery opponent, there is really no choice but for Snow to come up with some innovative strike techniques to use for this fight.

He eyed the opponent's weapon for a while.

Recalling many past experiences of fighting fire users, there were those that channeled the element of fire into their weapons, bolstering their attack strength and defense, as the scorching flames can act as a buffer against a strike, and in fact also damage the body by mere contact itself. But having multiple serpents, on fire, writhing in a shape of a sword?

This is going to be tricky...

While the air is still cold around Snow, droplets of moisture were clinging on the ground, dampening his boots and cloak with its dew. Hopping a few times to loosen up his muscles, it was then on the third hop that the wind around Snow expelled itself away from his position, causing a burst of momentum that propelled the Ice user at dazzling speed, ever so closer to Omi with that silly grin. His left Katana skidded amongst the ground behind him, bringing trails of occasional sparks in his wake. With the right Katana held in midair, aimed not at Omi's throat, but at Omi's chest from afar, Snow closed the distance in just a few seconds, getting ever so closer to that inevitable clash of swords.

Only then by a distance of 2 meters apart did Snow suddenly jump into the air a bit, raising the katana on his right to a stab...
And then stabbing the ground in front of him.

A rumbling sound echoed briefly beneath the ground before multiple large shards of ice exploded upwards into the air, ripping the ground apart in front of Snow. And at the speed that the ice is ripping up from the ground, it quickly made its way around Omi's position, zig-zagging to and fro, but with the main concentration of lethal shards ripping right towards the opponent's foot and torso.

It would leave the resulting ground covered with a decent layer of ice...which would cause trouble for the opponent himself to stand...

If he doesn't know how to skate.

A consecutive combo strike will occur depending on the situation, but if by any chance Omi does raise his blade or expose his left side to Snow, he would first yank his right Katana out of the ground first, then reveal the secret behind why his blade lengthened so long during the test strike.

The hint behind the trick?

Moisture on the blade. By collecting moisture in the air and concentrating it solely on the shaft of the blade, whenever Snow slashes, some of the water would flick off due to the swing, a bit of water following the path of the blade. But by freezing it during the slash, the water would remain connected with the blade, expanding itself and creating a mere illusion of the blade lengthening its lethal tip.
Due to the near transparency of the water, it's hard to tell at all the actual length of the katana when water is used. The sad drawback is that it's easily countered by strong heat, but the ice shattering on the blade as a result can be turned to his advantage if Snow play his attacks correctly.

But judging how the opponent will respond, Snow will either swing the left katana in a diagonal slash up towards Omi's main body - which would be for Omi's perspective, his right torso or pelvis - from that same distance, using that lengthening strike to place a blow where the opponent will not realize until felt.

Hopefully, it will decieve the opponent into believing that Snow's blade can actually lengthen and strike at long range at will, when in fact it's the sharpness of the ice lengthening from his blade that's striking Omi's body.

The katana is just a tool used to focus the ability to a more precise tone.

I am cziri.
prepare to die
"growled the warrior"
he tooks out a hand cannon and fires at ur abdomen

By the Time the smoke had cleared this child of a opponent would realize that during the time he raised mentioned cannon.Ninig had moved his position and would be found holding that terrifying jagged peice of katana to his new targets neck.Sure it looked as though the target had been struck,but in reality that was just a tracer of ninigs essence that had been left unintentionally.

Strange how fighting such a powerfull being could change the playing field so dramatically.

"I don't even know why I still hang around this Arena...I should be in the tournament right now...killing my next opponent and being that much closer to the title i disserve..."

If the boy made any movement at all.He would be split from the colarbone to the gut.A fairly easy angle,and it also ensured that even if he moved forward or dropped his weight,a sword would still be cutting through him.

A sudden ripple in the omniplane would fabricate across all levels of the planar time stream and manifest itself as a fluxuation in which causes distortion to cut through and alternate the function and time flow of the planes. This is due to a sudden disturbance in the planar matrix as a huge amount of energy flows throughout the omniplane on such a high level that it causes distortion to pulsate through each individual plane that actually seems to manifest as ripples and whatnot. This causes a planar scaled tremor to occur as a being of such power enters into the omniplanar space. The being begins to forge its own domain in which planar energies seem to gather and churn as the very realities seem to collide. This would cause a mainstream of affects as a massive new “demi-plane” would form and expand where other planes would be, throwing off track the planar balance in which all of the planes sustained.

Now this “demi-plane” that was forged of omniplanar energies would suddenly seem to be absorbed as the being would relinquish all of the energy containing and forging it and hold it within his own vast amount of power. He would suddenly target the material plane of existence and would begin to dissipate as currently he was nothing more then a massive body of energy siphoning, absorbing, expanding, and sustaining itself. All of these energies would begin to suddenly flow through to the material plane and such distortion would occur to make room for this body of energy. It was as if a small, tiny, remote, private, in-ground, backyard pool was suddenly home to a ship similar to the Titanic in size just plowing through at full speed and beyond.

Now, the huge amount of power and energy would begin to take a form forged of these energies. It would take the form of a corporeal representation perfectly crafted as if by the divine. Planar energies would utterly construct each quark, string, strand of DNA, etc to form the perfect being. A man would manifest from the theophany of energies and he would look as every other normal being that walked the planes and could manipulate time space and reality at mere will and so much more...

As he would stand, he would be about 5’7 and approximately 175 pounds. He would have soft blue optics hidden by his blood red hair that would reach about mid back and secured in a low ponytail. Upon his forehead was an insignia that resembled a Broken Cross also known as Nero’s Cross, a Witches Foot, a Peace Symbol, and other names. Ironic actually how the Broken Cross mark is traditionally a symbol used for death...yet it’s used as the peace sign...

He would have a red-ish hue to his skin tone as it was so bloodstained that it affected the pigments composing the skin. He was not a pleasant site at all because approximately 92% of his skin was dead skin, bruises, or scars that would cover the body. His other 8% of skin approximately appeared to be damaged and wounded. He had a muscular and built body type that would be crafted to display quite nicely. He wore a black kimino top, white hakama pants with a white obi around his waist to secure it, and had a crimson scabbard with a few golden streaks around it.

The scabbard was on his left hip and held his kami katana that was known by the name of Ketuseki. It was forged of a material known as AEX that, like himself, was not human related. Oh no, this being was not human at all, but took the form of a species known as an Azorian which occupied the Kingverse. Now, what was AEX? AEX is Diamond, Boron Nitride, Ultrahard Fullerite, Silicon Carbide, Borazon, and Azorian minerals fused together and melted down before infused with magic and mana to bond it together and give it properties such as resistance to d and stacked on top of each other in their strongest form. The AEX is a chromic color as electromagnetism, extreme temperatures, rust, energy, and the ability to be able to take different forms. This can be achieved based upon the magic infused in it that ties it to the users mind so that it can allow it to go from solid to liquid. Roy can also use magic and enchantments to give it other properties and abilities’. It is harder then any mineral known to man and is a precious and sacred Azorian products. AEX alone can cut through diamond without much difficulty. The materials are blended together so that the toughness of each substance will be used together and build off of each other, aided by magic, thus the final product will be as if each substance layered on top of each other. It also takes a chromic color as well. The scabbard was constructed of this as well, lined on the outside and inside with AEX.

He also wore a black cloak over his body made of enhanced spider-silk weaved with AEX and other materials into the fibers. He wore a hood attached to it to cover his head that casted a shadow to cause his face to be hidden. He stood in a field, open and vast as it was constructed of hills as far as the eye could see. His utter presence would cause a massive amount of energy to be siphoned from all different planes as he’d weave magic and would cause psionic energies to circulate around the area connecting each string, particle, etc to each other to form a psionic circuit. All of this would be under the man’s control as it expanded at an inconceivable rate that would overlap the whole area and beyond in an instant. This would form an Area of Influence (AoI) that would cause a flawed reality to set in. He would also infuse psionic energies into the realital superstrings to allow him to manipulate them as well.

He would proceed to cause a link between his mind and the planar matrix and realital database as well, providing him with limitless capabilities. All of this was a simple cause of his mere presence as he was a man of which had surpassing Apocalyptic stature and premises’. A dark purple aura would surround him as suddenly particles would explode with magic to release gallons of blood to flow within the area. They would seep through the ground, pool up, and so much more as the pressure and energy would be condensed and converted into psionic energies to strengthen the AoI. Now, the utter smell of the blood would drive the man crazy with lust as he was corrupt to the point in which his ability to display emotions was ripped from him. He is twisted to such a point it decays his body. The blood would surface his body as it’d seep through the skin pores and rest their providing a layer of blood on his body. The man would wait, all of this happening within a few seconds if that, for an ordeal was about to occur...

...let the dreams be shattered...the shards to cut...the wounds to kill...

Fasumbra "Forces" Langardo...a man in which Roy has fought against many times but on his side even more. His soft blue optics would gaze over Fasumbra and proceed to take in every detail of him and his apparel. He would notice each weapon and it's details, the axe and it's tribute to Kuro as indicated in it's thorny rose symbol and such, the bags on his legs, and more. Roy was never a man of many weapons, just Ketsueki would do.

The blood flooding the area more and more as each fraction of a second would pass by would cause a massive amount of blood to accumulate and whatnot. Since explosions would occur releasing blood, those explosions to trigger more explosions releasing more blood, and so on, all would cause a chain reaction. However, the energy and pressure would be focused in to form the blood rather then cause an explosion to occur, thus no damage would be possible to be dealt. This would just result in blood forming out of what seemed to be thin air as all of the visual details wouldn't be noticed since they were converted.

A portion of the blood would seep through the ground while other portions would swirl around. This whole time the AoI would expand as well as Roy would siphon and channel energies. He would proceed to smirk at Fasumbra's words as he would do nothing at all to indicate anything recognizable as a yes or no or anything. All that would occur was more and more blood flooding the area.

And then suddenly something would occur...

Roy would extend his left hand and a sudden dark purple blast of ki would shoot from his hand at the ground a few feet in front of Fas. This would happen incredibly quickly as it would implode upon impact as the blood would spew up at Fas and the kinetic energy propelling the ki blast would be absorbed as well as the kinetic and thermal energy released from the impact and whatnot as it would be used to fluidly carry out the explosion's pressure and whatnot in a more obscure form. What this means is that the explosion's pressure, energy, and everything that made it an explosion would be converted and instead of expand in that form it would constrict around the particles in the center of the impact. This would result in a small orb forming that would not be visable as it would cut through the ground towards Fas at such speeds that blood would be sent upwards and everywhere before it'd suddenly explode releasing the orignal explosion that made it up as well as newly created thermal and kinetic energy.

This would spew up more blood towards Fas as more and more would continue to pump through the area. This would be done as Fas would finish his dialogue.
