The Dungeon Tree

"Let's get this over with." Akio said, cracking his knuckles.


A mirrored version of himself rose from the water in front of him. The weapon it held was even made of water.


Without hesitation, Akio fired a giant stone pillar at the shapeshifter. Despite the shapeshifter dodging the first one, it didn't see the second one coming from behind it. Before the shapeshifter could even fly away, another stone pillar crashed down from above


"We're not done yet." Akio said, raising both his hands in the air.


Multiple magic rings began to appear around the shapeshifter, each one spinning violently. When Akio clapped his hands together, hundreds of sharp stones shot out of the ring and directly into the shapeshifter.


Akio quickly crouched down and put his right hand on the ground. The water began to shake violently and soon a giant stone pillar shot out and pushed Akio towards where the shapeshifter was.


Akio flung his arms into the air, causing all the stones from the rings to fly upwards. Akio launched himself off the pillar and clenched his hand into a fist.


Akio's fist turned to stone right as it connected with the shapeshifter. The power behind Akio's attack ended up leaving the shapeshifter with a large hole in its stomach.


"Still breathing?" Akio said, hopping back.


In only a couple of seconds, the huge hole in the shapeshifter's stomach completely healed. Before Akio could even think of a plan, the shapeshifter ran towards Akio and swung at his head.


"I'm thinking!" Akio said, punching the shapeshifter in the face.


Akio let out an annoyed sigh, he had finally thought of what to do. The only issue is that he didn't really like it.


"I hope you like mountains." Akio said, placing both hands against the ground.


The entire area began to shake violently. Despite Akio leaving himself wide open, the shaking of the ground made it impossible for the shapeshifter to move.


A giant mountain shot out from beneath the water and impaled the shapeshifter right where the last hole was. The stones that were still in the air from before resumed their attack as well.


"Well there goes all my energy." Akio said, collapsing on the ground not even one second later.
