Chapter 77-Flint vs Sol
"RAHHH!" The hammer-wielding man roars as a giant explosion of reddish-brown sparks of energy bursts from body, causing Old-Man F's tendril of sand to explode, sending sand flying everywhere.
"I must be stronger than you," the man grunts, "Cause your entrapment spell didn't work on me."
"Meh, that's what you think," Flint smirks as he resumes his Charge Stance, "So tell me, who am I fighting?"
"Sol Prometheus, Fifth Sun of Prometheus, of the Children of Fire," the man answers, "I may be one of the lowest rankings, but when it comes to physical strength and the strength of my E-Charge bursts…I'm unmatched!"
"One of the lowest?" Flint groans as he furiously scratches the back of his gray head, "I'm the Vice-Captain of the team! I should get the second-strongest!"
"Oh well," Flint continues as he peers back up at his opponent with a smirk, "This'll be quick."
Flint's body swiftly turns into sand then drops to the floor below, merging with the sand around Flint's feet.
A second mound of sand then rises out of the ground behind Sol, taking the form of Flint.
"Sand Charge, Level One: Sand Clone!" Flint shouts as he launches a mighty roundhouse kick towards Sol.
In response, Sol turns around to face Flint and spears his arms out wide to his sides, exposing his chest to his opponent.
Flint raises an eyebrow as his roundhouse kick slams into Sol's chest.
"Why…didn't Sol dodge…?" Flint softly asks himself.
Sol lets out a grunt as he stumbles backwards a step. Meanwhile, Flint drops back to the ground.
"It's evident that my spell harmed Sol," Flint says to himself, "But Sol chose to tank my spell? Was Sol just being overzealous, or…?"
Sol continues groaning in pain until he shouts: "ABSORB," and instantly, Sol's pained expression fades. Instead, lifts his giant hammer above his head with two hands and begins twirling it around. Subsequently, reddish-brown sparks of energy begin to burst and swirl around Sol's body.
"LAVA CHARGE, LEVEL ONE: HEAT GEYSER!" Sol roars as he slams his giant hammer into the ground, forming a giant crater in the floor, which causes cracks to spread all across the ground like branching rivers.
A giant geyser of lava then shoots out of the ground from the cracks.
"SHT!" Flint cries as he jumps backwards in an attempt to dodge, but Flint isn't quick enough, and instead Flint is blasted by one of Sol's lava geysers.
After being scorched for a bit, Flint limply drops to the ground, his body bellowing with smoke and badly charred to the point where Flint is nothing more than an unrecognizable black lump.
"So that's how it goes, huh?" Sol grunts, "Just one attack and you're done?"
But what Sol doesn't notice, is the second mound of sand rising out of the ground behind him, which then takes the form of Flint.
"Sand Charge, Level One: Sand Clone!" Flint roars as he launches a mighty punch towards Sol, who doesn't even turn around to defend.
Instead, Flint's fist smashes into the back of Sol's head, causing Sol to drop to his knees.
"Seriously?" Flint asks as he rubs his sore knuckles, "Again?"
Just as before, Sol begins groaning in pain until he shouts: "ABSORB," and instantly, Sol's pained expression fades. Instead, lifts his giant hammer above his head with two hands and begins twirling it around. Subsequent, reddish-brown sparks of energy begin EXPLODE from Sol's body.
"WOAH!" Flint cries as he skips backwards, "Is it just me, or is Sol even stronger than before?! And even his aura is blazing hot!"
"That's another thing," Sol grunts as he pushes himself back up to his feet the turns around to face Flint, "My element is lava, which means that I am the HOTTEST of the Children of Fire, and thus…the most SUPREME FIRE E-CHARGER that our Lord thought to create!"
Flint's eyes widen.
"Create…?" Flint softly asks himself.
"Lava Charge-!" Sol begins to shout as he raises his hammer high above his head with two hands and begins to twirl it. Subsequently, reddish-brown sparks of energy began to burst and swirl around his body.
"Sol's Charge Stance…" Flint comments.
"-MAGMA TSUNAMI!" Sol roars as he slams his hammer into the ground, causing a tidal wave of lava to erupt from his hammer and make its way across the ground towards Flint.
Once close enough to Flint, Sol's tidal wave of lava begins to rise, forming a giant tsunami.
"Sand Charge, Level Four-!" Flint desperately cries as he swipes a hand upwards, "-Sandcastle!"
The sand around Fling begins to rise into the air and take shape, forming a giant castle around Flint to shield him from the attack.
"RAH!" Flint shouts as he crosses his arms to block, and in turn, his large sandcastle brings its sandy arms together to block as well.
Sol's giant tsunami of lava crashes down upon Flint's castle.
Flint grunts as Sol's Magma Tsunami begins to push Flint back, who struggles to hold his ground.
Eventually, Sol's Magma Tsunami crashes to the ground then dissipates.
Slowly, Flint lowers his eyes then looks around, finding that his Sandcastle is now completely transparent.
Flint raises an eyebrow at Sol, who Flint is now able to see thanks to his Sandcastle being turned transparent.
"What the…?" Flint asks as he takes a step over to the walls of his Sandcastle and places a hand against it.
But when he does, Flint's eyes widen.
"YEOWCH!" Flint yelps as he hops backwards and swiftly retracts his hand.
"MAN that's hot…" Flint whimpers as he rubs his stinging hand.
"So the heat of my lava transformed your sand into glass?" Sol comments, "It's interesting to see how certain elements work together…"
"Damn, so this means that I can't control my Sandcastle now, huh?" Flint asks as he looks around the glass dome surrounding him.
Flint's eyes then widen.
"Oh crap, that means I'm trapped in here!" He cries.
"Which means you're vulnerable," Sol replies as he resumes his Charge Stance, by raising his hammer high into the air above his head with two hands and begins twirling it around, as reddish-brown sparks of energy begin to burst and swirl around Sol's body.
