Friendly Match III
General POV
"You're good! Try this next! Fjallis (ice making charm)! Engorgio! Incendio! Engorgio! Aer Calidus (hot air charm)!" An ice cube appeared on the ground as it is suddenly enlarged into a gigantic block of ice. The next step, to melt said ice by scorching heat, instantaneously turning solid into gas, ice into a fog of water vapor!
Final step, to push the water vapor into the area, creating a thick mist that blocks one's eyes! "How do you like my compounded spell! I call it, 'Kirigakure no Jutsu (Hiding in Mist Technique'!" quite unoriginal, but it works, while Crynn could pinpoint Ezra's position by hearing the vibrations through the ground, Ezra doesn't have that kind of ability, she's a historian for God's sake!
"Diffindo! Diffindo! Diffindo!" Finding the woman, Crynn launched three spells in a row, a volley of sharp severing charms is heading Ezra's way! "Hn!" Ezra jumped a step back, swinging her spear, blocking one of them and avoiding the other, the final one however successfully scratched her on the cheek!
"Ck, enough!" feeling slight pain and a drip of blood flowing down, Ezra pulled her trump card out, the Apple of Eden! A strong gasp of wind surrounded Ezra as it blasted all around her! The shockwave directly cleared the mist and brought slight rain to the surrounding area outside of the field!
"Speed," Ezra whispered and in a second she reappeared in front of Crynn, her spear in a downward slash! Clang! Calian just barely managed to block the attack with his sword still partly in the sheath, that was some fast movement! With his other, saber, Crynn pushed off Ezra, knowing she won't close too much of the distance facing a dual wielder!
Ezra moved once more, this time targeting Crynn's side as the latter defended with a sturdy and body-supported parry but Ezra isn't going to give up an opening on the right shoulder! Clang! Blocked! But not completely blocked! Crynn raised his other saber just in time to raise the spear's trajectory up a centimeter, missing the intended direction but still grazing through his suit and his skin!
The two continued exchanging hits, up, down, right, left and center, this is professional right here! "They're good! With how they're doing, the could just barely hold off servants," now, what Ko Gil said was not criticism nor insult, it was a compliment. Normal humans or mages can't hold a servant in place but with what Crynn and Ezra showed in battle, they could very well do so, even if it's only meaningless struggle.
Clang! Clang! Clang! Feeling the swift decline of his opponent's speed, Crynn decided to strike when and where he should! Ezra also gallantly fought, spear against the two sabers, constantly spinning, throwing off every attack. The spear is long enough to cover the range from her legs to her chest which makes it immensely difficult for Crynn to get a hit on her.
20 heavy strikes in 20 seconds, and 10 sneaked counterattacks, both sides' attacks have not stagnated! 'Flight of a Dwarf!' Crynn initiated on the top of his head, catapulting both of his sabers in a backwards direction, giving up both his offense and defense at the same time. But as Ezra's lunge is about to collide together with Crynn, he suddenly and seemingly disappeared!
Appearing 4 meters away, he immediately started some high frequency chanting! "Wingardium Leviosa! Wingardium Leviosa! Wingardium Leviosa! Wingardium Leviosa!" Taking advantage of the environment around him, Crynn ruthlessly started levitating and lobbing out random objects towards Ezra!
A couple of metal chairs, a metal table, a large patio umbrella and some garden gnomes to add with it! Ezra isn't faltered with this new scene and merely whispered, "Strengthen!" Red mist evaporated off Ezra's skin as she cut the first obstacle in half, then the next, and the next, and the next! Take in mind, the first few objects are made of metal and the power needed to cut through the material, it must be an extravagant amount!
"That is enough!" Ezra shouted as her eyes opened wide! Pupils turning into gold! 'Isu Bloodline! Illusion!' And suddenly, Ezra's body completely faded into dust in front of Crynn's careful eyes! 'Is she invisible?! No! Nothing is right! No footsteps, no sound, the lighting is wrong, the temperature is inconsistent!'
"Finite!" Crynn guessed and shot a red spell randomly as it ran into some sort of barrier, destroying and shattering it like a mirror! "You're done!" In that split second, Ezra had already came up to Crynn, spear in hand on to his neck! Thankfully, one minute has passed and so, 'Flight of a Dwarf!' Crynn threw his Sabers forward next to Ezra!
"You're the one's done," teleporting, Crynn reappeared behind Ezra, his Saber placed beside her neck, subduing her, not. "Who says," The Ezra on Crynn's gaze suddenly dissolved into the air like a paint in water as a sharp tip of a spear touched upon his neck. "You! Double illusion!" Crynn can't believe his eyes, he had just been tricked mercilessly!
"You're right," on her hand, is a golden orb, the Apple of Eden. "By accustoming you to the first illusion, you'll feel arrogant upon escaping it and by utilizing that arrogance, you'll be shortsighted to discover the next one built on top of the previous," Ezra bragged, knowing well Crynn had already figured everything out the moment the second illusion expired.
"You're very good! I admit defeat!" Crynn's convinced, dealing with this woman will need extra caution and absolutely no honor and pride, next time they fight, he'll be the most shameless dog! "You're great yourself, you haven't used a lot, and I haven't used a lot," Ezra only shrugged before bowing in winner's grace.
"What a cheeky girl," Saber narrowed her eyes as the champion is revealed, clearly, Ezra had won the match, fair and square, no polygons involved. Rin is very excited, her hands gobbling cookies by the second, this has been exciting for her! While Shirou could only contemplate in silence at the whole operation process of both battles.
'I- I will be strong!'
