Mana Dispersion

The Heavenly Asura is a stage which is even above than the Heavenly Demon. To reach this stage.....

Akran removed the gold bangles from his legs and finally he was free of all restraints.

Each bangle weighed about 100 kgs.

With 3 on each arm and leg. It would mean he was carrying a weight of 1200 kg. Damn that would be rough. For a human it would be an overwhelming obstacle but for an Asura it's nothing big especially the Heavenly Asura.

Akran :

Let me show you something.

With now all of the weights off Akran had become much more faster as he also blended with the Demons to make himself less perceivable.

Akran :

Curse of Inhibition : Mana Block.

Akran put his hand of Mcelroy's back. And McElroy coughed.

Akran :

Try to use mana now.

McElroy tried to summon waves but failed he even couldn't make a single molecule of water.

While on Mcelroy's back there was a seal being made. It was like a tattoo ingrained on his back. More like ingrained on his clothes.

Akran :

Now try to absorb mana.

McElroy tried to absorb mana but failed at it as well.

McElroy :

What is this trickery?

Akran :

This is my curse. I want to see how you defend against my magic.

Akran :

Firestorm.

There was a flaming tornado which headed towards McElroy. McElroy didn't have time to think. As just the heat was harsh from that attack.

McElroy :

I can't use magic. And without that I can't avoid the fire.

I can't use perception either. Wait?

McElroy banged his bracelet as a high water stone blasted the entire area ahead with water and countered the firestorm.

Akran :

Think that water crystal can save you.

And He was right the high elemental water crystal wasn't enough to quell the storm of fire spinning horizontally in a vortex very heated. To a state it would be immediate death for an non resistance person.

And the stars just happened to align in the odds of McElroy.

As he didn't have any resistance against fire.

But there are aren't just one set of stars are there.

Another set of stars just happened to align in his favor.

Jay stepped in front of Firestorm and covered McElroy in a steel bunker.

Jay :

How many times do I have to tell you demons and Asura. Keep your attacks out of my way.

Just a while before, Jay was clearing the way to the island where he was very close to reaching the island just when a flaming vortex was heading his way. But then McElroy delayed that by using the water stone.

And the Jay stepped in and neutralized the firestorm with his own but spinning in the opposite direction. And even overwhelmed Akran and turned his attack on him.

A fierce firestorm was headed by Jay.

Akran :

Art of the Heavenly Asura : Mana dispersal.

The firestorm which was fired dispersed without even hitting Akran.

Akran :

So you had to step in to save him in the end.

Jay :

No you dumbass. I'm here because you attacked me first.

Akran :

It doesn't matter now. Since youre both supposed to die by my hand.

McElroy :

I might need a hand here. He blocked my mana from being used. I can't use mana.

Jay glanced at McElroy and saw a sigil imprinted on Mcelroy's clothes. circulating and I terfering with McElroys mana.

Jay passed it's own mana a to disrupt the sigil. And he ruptured it. Leading to an explosion. With none of them hurt

McElroy :

Whoa what happened..

Jay :

I overloaded it with my mana.

Akran :

Well what about this then.

This time Akran was able to cast the sigil on both of them.

Jay :

Great so we're both stuck now.

Akran this time followed up with an attack where Akran made a giant saber artificially and vertically attacked Jay.

Akran :

World Splitter.

Jay just casually slid aside still got punched by Akran right hand.

Akran :

I have two hands, pay attention, what does even Ikaros even see in an disappointment like you. No one even falls for trick like this anymore. But the fact that you fell for it makes you even more of an embarrassment to your colleagues, your parents, your household, your family and your entire clan.

Jay was thoroughly insulted, just because he fell in a cheap trick.

Jay bought out the spear from the inventory.

Akran :

So this is the rumored spear of death. So you can't even win without a weapon like this.

Akran tried to provoke Jay into putting the weapon away and giving him an advantage. Which would have worked on an normal person. Even McElroy but it had to be Jay.

Jay :

" Use every advantage you have otherwise your enemy surely will "

McElroy :

You just used a cool line to say that you don't want to put the spear away.

Jay :

Hey don't ruin my moment. I rarely get one.

Heavenly Asura Mana Slash.

With the giant saber Akran unleashed a huge wave of mana

Which was so sharp that it would have cut 10 layers of tatami mats in half.

And as both of them can't absorb or use mana this blow would have been deadly.

They analyze the trajectory of the sword and used it to determine the attack also Akran literally says the name of the attack he is going to use. So it is not that hard to determine.

The problem was how was Jay going to her rid of this curse. Last time he overloaded the mana circuit but this time he can't use the same method. But then in the very corners of the mind was a call for idiocy. Disguised as a fact that it was something brilliant something thought about by one in a billion.

He used the mana stone he had on his bracelet on himself.

And burned himself with the high grade elemental stone.

And due to the sigil being imprinted on his outer clothes which burned off he was lifted from the inhibition.

Akran was relentless with his attacks as he slashed his sword twice for a mana strike cross cut.

But unfortunately for him Jay absorbed the mana. Which McElroy was able to get away with a slight cut.

Jay attacked with metal. With something in his mind.

Jay :

Well if he can shout some cool move names why don't I try it too.

Jay :

Bullet hail.

And there was a hail of bullets being propelled by fire magic as they were made with metal magic and being ejected into a specific direction by a small contained fire explosion which propelled them forward. Akran got hailed by bullets coming from all directions but some he managed to deflect from his saber others he got hit intentionally in the areas where his skin was rough thus didn't get much hurt at all.

Like it was shooting rubber toy bullets at an adult.

After looking at Jay, McElroy also had the profound idea of taking off one layer of protection and getting rid of the sigil implanted with mana without blowing one self up.

Brilliant. Though basic but much more appreciable.

With now their best armors gone. They had to make adjustments since just plain iron armor won't cut it.

So what did they do they created an thicker iron armor melded with other elements to make it stronger, much durable and flexible.

And McElroy threw that armor. The armor was so thick it matched the size of a fat man but compressed thus it's density increased.

Akran :

Take my next attack.

Avatar of the Demon God.

Akran spread his arms and lit himself on fire and from that fire a giant flaming figure of the supposedly Demon God arose. Multifaced flaming giant.

Jay :

McElroy use Hydro pump.

McElroy :

You don't need to tell me..

McElroy flooded the fire giant with water and drowned the entire act. Leaving Akran awkwardly standing.

Jay without any time rushed with his spear and started relentlessly performing stab attacks. To get just a scratch.

But Akran turned out to be more skilled in weapon handling than he thought and he eventually managed to take the spear for himself and he like others found himself in a world of his own.

His surrounding covered with ice. The environments grew it was cold and dark. That's when the ice dragon came with it's wings fully opened as it roared the blizzard rose up covering the entire area.

Akran stands unfazed as from the blizzard the ice dragon walks forward.

Ice dragon :

It's been a long time since I saw a demon.

Akran :

This must be the world of the spear. A space where your conscious somehow exist.

Ice dragon :

For an Asura you're quite intelligent.

Akran :

And for an ice dragon you're quite dead.

Ice dragon :

Such insolence.

Fear me for I am your worst nightmare.

Akran rushed and dashed as he went through the dragon as he returned in his hand was the dragon heart. Which he tossed aside as he returned to the real world.

Akran :

My that was refreshing. You can take this stick back, it's absolutely worthless for me.

Akran threw the spear a very long distance. But Jay had calculated the risk as well when he made the spear. That's why he incorporated the base with a natural metal thus he could control it and pull it back to earth.

Akran :

My turn.
