Astral's Rise Part 33: Beserker

"Finally. Someone worthy of the glove has arrived." Titan spoke to Astral as he turned to face him. A weird looking glove appearing on his hand. He would mutter a couple of words as Titan's aura swell with power. Becoming an immovable object.

Titan flicked his left hand forward as a barrage of elements of all kinds came at Astral faster than ever before. Astral rolled to his right and dodged them as quickly as they came. This felt different than the magic Mike used or the twin jewels. It felt amplified beyond any normal level. Astral threw two light discs at Titan as he turned them into confetti.

Astral had a certain glow about him. Holding his katana he would use the breathing form to enhance himself, unlocking the markings. They were of a lightning print on his back. He saw right through Titan. What a massive pain. So many vital organs to hit and damage. Astral now was the unstoppable force.

Titans voice went deep. "You are a bold one." Titan was behind Astral and threw a punch down directed at his skull as Astral side stepped it as he slashed a deep wound into Titan's chest. He stood upright as the wound and his clothes closed themselves.

Astral pointed his finger. "Bang." A beam of light would be fired from his fingertip and go straight through Titan. He started laughing as the attack did nothing but tickle him. He slowly approached Astral as he spoke. "Maximus." Titan stood still as Astral's aura seemed even larger than before.

Titan closed the gap faster than earlier in the fight as he launched a flurry of lightning punches. Astral would use his sword to conduct the blows. Swinging blow for blow Astral only went faster and increased his insane potential. 

Each of these fighters only knew one thing, keep swinging and the other will mess up. Astral parried every blow with perfect precision as the magical fists of Titan did nothing to Astral or the blade. Neither side would bother letting up as the two only increased their speed rapidly.

Titan would keep launching blows with more fury and strength as he knew eventually he would break through. Titan had a clean swing on Astral with a right hook. Astral's blade was out of position to block it and there was no way Titan was letting this fight slip from him. He still wanted his feast. 

Astral took advantage of this telegraphed opening and sliced his arm off cleanly. The static electricity stopped the wound from regenerating right away. Titan tried to flick his arm back as nothing but blood spewed out of the wound, he finally felt something new for once, a slight tingle from the wound.

Titan pointed with his left arm. "Die." Astral saw that this spell was coming. Already being away from the direction of the spell. Astral pointed up with his left hand as snow started to fall, his eyes being crossed with many lines. He wanted to stay calm. This was nearly over.

Titan finally regrew his arm and clapped to Astral as his spell missed. "You made me feel something other than anger, now let me repay the favor." Titan grabbed a hold of Astral's left arm. Pulling it from the shoulders socket.

Astral reeled back in pain, this felt different. It lasted momentarily before he flicked his wrist back into place. Looking down he saw his arm back in full definition. He was taken aback as much as Titan was.

"I stand corrected." Titan spoke. "You are more than an ordinary human. Still makes just as much as a delectable snack." Titan ate the arm he ripped off of Astral as Astral tilted his head. The falling snow gently cushioning the air and making it quieter.

Astral's steps were silent as Titan swelled up. He enjoyed his snack and wanted more. Titan sent a dual hook fade jab at Astral who just sliced Titan up the middle. The two halves stumbled backwards as they fused back together.

"Still won't fucking stop me you bitch." Astral was behind Titan as all four of his limbs were sliced off. Titan rolled on the ground as the snow padded him. On all fours his limbs came back as Titan looked up to a foot collapsing in his skull.

Titan threw a punch and shattered Astral's left leg in its entirety as Astral hopped back resting on his right. Titan stood up. "NO ONE MAKES ME KNEEL!" Titans voice cleared all of the snow out of the arena as a giant fist came down on Astral. 

Astral held his left hand up and caught the fist, the pressure becoming more intense. Astral's wrist buckled as he flew backwards. The fist slammed the ground and shattered the moon they were standing on.

Astral rotated his attention and made a box of hardlight to keep his friends safe. They floated safely in a box as Astral was sent flying across the arena by Titan hitting him square in the shoulders. Astral got up as his collarbone snapped back into place.

He stood ready with his blade in neutral as Titan charged at him. Swinging fists from all directions Astral did the same with sword swings, each of them taking only small chunks off each other as they regenerated near instantly.

The snow began to fall again as Titan got a sense of fear from the last experience with ice. Astral had different plans as he used Murasama with one hand. With a flash of light Lone's claymore was in the other and swung down on Titan's right arm. It was severed as Titan backpedaled.

A floor of light was created by the gods for the combatants to stand on as Astral's friends watched from a distance, this was the true power of Astral. Titan held his left arm out and slapped it down. A giant hand of darkness came from above as he regenerated his right arm.

Astral held a blade in each hand and felt unstoppable. He sprinted past the hand of darkness and Titan only to backpedal swinging the swords above his head and downwards Titan would catch each blade with his hands. Infused with light in the palms to handle the blade's sharp edges.

Astral flipped upwards, kicking off Titan's skull as it fell right back in place. The two blades had a white gleaming glow as the snow only grew in number, turning into a snowstorm that surrounded the two.

Titan launched a punch from every angle as Astral held out a hand, blocking the side ones with ice and the center ones with light. Crystals of ice would slowly form along Titan. He would not let it end like this.

"Eruption!" Titan shouted as where he stood a burst of heat came and melted the snow in the sky. Melting the crystals off of him, he threw a lava shaped spear at Astral. Who dropped an ice wall that stopped it.

"Shame this had to end." Astral walked past Titan as his eyes followed Astral as he stood with his back turned. Why did everything go upside down? Titan realized his head was severed as Astral turned.

He would have landed the slice to sever Titan's skull without him knowing. Landing the blow he would rush forward and slice the rest of Titan into pieces. Kicking him as his chunks fell all over the ground.
