Earth and Water

What was happening went against McElroys principles.

McElroy wished that he was Jay so he wouldn't have to take his blade against him. What makes a person a person.

What makes his identity definitive.

Is it just his existence? It it the principles he follows?

Is it the ranks or positions he achieves during his life.

Or how is he judged in the society.

Or is it what he thinks about himself and perceives himself as.

A truly philosophical question.

Returning to the scenario.

A barrier made by Jal rotated at such velocity that a person would be torn apart if he was caught within it.

But due to Jay's relentless attacks he prevented her advance. Even though futile.

As all of his attacks would be deflected one way or another.

But one area she didn't cover were the ground. As Jal was focused on maintaining the barrier to prevent the relentless attacks. Jay filled the area inside the barrier with ironsand.

Slowly it filled up like a hourglass surrounding upto her ankle and when she finally noticed it was too late.

Jay quickly used the ironsand to cover her in the sand and melted the sand with a lot of heat. Which caused the demon to burn. A massive burn was inflicted on the demon. But she directed the water from the barrier on the body and washed out the ironsand.

Still the damage was done to which she applied ice. As a cooling factor and encased herself in an armor of ice.

But Jay closed in for a swallow cut from an iron sword he crafted on a fly. Which opened a hole in the armor of ice. And then proceeded to blast the insides with an intense pressurized blue flame which burned the insides and pierced the outside it as well evaporated the entire armor with rhe amount of energy being lost taken up by the ice itself. But due to the flame being focused on one point Jay was able to pierce the stomach of the Demon.

And when he was going to make a final strike with the spear on the now helpless Jal. His hand was covered with rock in the form of a lock which then retracted and forced Jay onto the ground.

Tsuchi :

Take this potion and drink.

Even if Jay was bound it wouldn't mean that he can't use magic. He launched a barrage of needles in theit location both from above and from the front.

Tsuchi raised a wall of earth and blocked both the attack

Jal quickly downed the potion and healed herself.

Jay used the same ironsand strategy and began piling up the ironsand and the same attack but the enemy was much more aware and just dumped the ironsand in a big hole.

The wall of earth collapsed. Revealing Jal and Tsuchi both sisters who had become heavenly demons.

Attacking at the same time. One binded Jay's foot with earth magic preventing him from moving while Jal created a barrage of icicles on all sides with a huge width and unleashed them on Jay.

Jay turned on defense where he covered himself with thick shell of iron and covered a layer with ironsand and then once again iron because of which they werent able to enter the shell.

And as Jay focused on defense he felt the ground belowhim disappear. And he was falling into a pitfall with very sharp and pointed spikes. Which would result in a gruesome death.

But Jay knew how to fly and he pieced through his own barrier and he flew out. From the top. With Jal behind her was a massive body of water. In the air she threw a massive projectile in which Jay got immersed in the water and the water was turned into ice.

Jal :

He won't be getting out of this ice. It is the coldest ice I can make which will sap the heat out within seconds.

The ice is below twenty five degree celcius. The ice got rapidly split in half and revealed a Jay in an armor of fire.

Jay :

Rim disabled.

The armor of fire dissipated. Jay launched himself with a makeshift launchpad of iron springing from the ground.

Jay :

Rim mode.

Jay once again adorned the armor of flames. And performed a great slash with a makeshift broadsword at Tsuchi. As Tsuchi turned into defense mode. And Jal tried to backstab Jay. Jay deactivated his armor and left his sword which was hanging in midair and as a projectile it was firmly lodged within Jals chest. And the cross guard dragged Jals body along with it as the sword firmly lodged on the ground.

Due to the close distance of Jal the projectile was able to. Conserve much of its momentum and due to the sheer mass of the broadsword being around two to three kilograms it had to sufficient mass required to enter the body of a Heavenly Demon at a very impressive speed. The broadsword lodged vertically due to which it avoided the lungs but the stomach and intestines were pierced.

An attack just below the chest.

Jal started to lose the strength to remove the blade. And Once Tsuchi took the wall down because there wasn't any attack she was horrified to find her dear sister being pieced by a broadsword. And she was trying to remove it.

She tried to help her sister but Jay wouldn't allow it.

He wouldn't even let Tsuchi step past him.

Tsuchi once again bound Jay's legs but Jay just simply tore it by Infiltrating the earth with ironsand and simply breaking it from the inside.

Jay in his back of mind thought that the fight with the Loki unit was much more difficult. But what Jay doesn't realize that he was fighting with multiple Loki units who used the same magic as Jay and at the comparable power level.

Which made the fight a lot difficult to manage .

While this fight had a large gap of power due to the overleveling. As if he was across a threshold.

But due to that his actions became more faster and much more deadlier than he imagined.

And his immense battle experience was able to help him in the process.

Instead of blocking Jay would much rather avoid attacks.

Tsuchi summoned an army of golems made from earth but Jay wasn't behind either. He summoned his own golems made of ironsand which clashed with the golems made of earth and due to them being made of ironsand they would regenerated even if they were hit with earth magic.

Tsuchi slipped as she drove deep into the earth and lost the sight of Jay. Who went with full speed towards Jal who was at deaths door. A hole opened underneath Jal. And Jal fell Into the hole. And Tsuchi caught Jal. But what followed them was a red hot liquid falling just behind Her.

The heat of the liquid would be enough to cause coagulation of proteins just on exposure alone. The entire hole was filled with the red hot magma. And even flowed through the tunnel that Tsuchi used to reach her sister.

The magma cooled off and turned into a black molten mass.

From the other side emerge another hole from which Tsuchi emerged mostly unharmed but Jal died in her arms.

Jal used herast magic to cast a barrier of ice which was the coldest and a very thick layer was made which gave Tsuchi time to escape.

Tsuchi :

You killed my sister.

Jay :

My condolences but she died a warriors death in the end.

Tsuchi :

You will pay for this.

Tsuchi eyes which were like a human turned red as herovsments became like a beast as the most of the other Asura.

Like a mad women she charged at Jay with her weapons flinging. While from all sides earth spikes emerged before Bing able to pierce Jay he had already perceived them.

Tsuchi attacks had become much faster.

And it felt like every three seconds a deadly pitfall would open up. So Jay decided to do something new.

Using iron sand he made a makeshift armor which was like Iron man's hulk buster armor. And he made a gigantic fist and as he tried to punch her. She tore the fist apart.

And the iron sand fell.

Tsuchi was blind with anger a trait which had closed the gates of the heavenly demon on her once again and now she was unable to use magic. But her physical strength made up for it.

In her rage she tore down the entire iron sand armor. Which was loosely controlled. She dived into the irons and and returned from the other side just to see that the iron sand armor had regenerated. She attacked the armor again and again.

From all angles she tore off the torso, she busted the head, she cut of the knees.

And when once after relentless attacks which would have torn apart someone into pieces she was tired and from the ground came chains made of iron which bound her to the ground.

As the chains pulled back and latched themselves deep into the ground.

The demon failed and failed to no end. She struggled and struggled she shouted like a beast. And roared like a animal.

And was finally put to an end with the

Spear of the Demon Hunter which pierced her.

The toxins produced from the mother tree spread into the system of the the Demon a lethal poison produced by dragons.

A Two Heavenly Demon were finally slain.

And with this Jay took a deep breath as he head towards McElroy.
