Chapter 79-Noah vs Smokey

"My name is Smokey Prometheus," my eyepatch-wearing opponent announces, "The First Sun of Prometheus of the Children of Fire."

"SUN, huh?"  I quip, "Who's your daddy?"

"You mean my LORD?"  Smokey replies, "He is of no concern to you-"

"-Because you won't even survive an encounter with ME."

Swiftly, I draw my Charge Stance.

"WATER CHARGE, LEVEL-" I begin to shout, but before I can even finish chanting my spell, Smokey appears before me in the blink of an eye, causing my own eyes to widen.

"That's right, you can teleporter, or-" I begin to cry, but before I can finish, Smokey jabs a fist into my gut, one so strong that it sends me flying backwards, nearly knocking the wind out of me.

"Crap~" I cough as I struggle to push myself up, "What a haymaker-"

Again, before I can finish, Smokey appears above me again, with his knee raised in the air.

Apathetically and unbiasedly, Smokey slams his foot down upon me, but before my powerful kick can connect, I roll out of the way to dodge, before sweeping my own foot out in an attempt to knock Smokey off balance.

But the second that my foot makes contact with Smokey, my leg…simply passes through his own, as Smokey's lower half turns into a ghastly gray smoke, which then turns back into flesh right after.

"I've never met someone who can E-Charge the way you do," I nervously quip, "Even Old-Man F's body swirls with energy if he's not in his Charge Stance.  Not to mention, you can even transform into your element."

Without a pause, Smokey aims a hand towards me again and fires off a powerful blast of boiling smoke.

"WOAH!"  I cry as I attempt to roll to the side to dodge again, but the radius of Smokey's smoke-cloud is too wide, and I howl in pain as my flesh is boiled by the smoke.

"I've gotten this far without even drawing my sword," Smokey apathetically taunts as his smoke cloud subsides, causing me to glare at Smokey, "Sort of."

"Good for you," I growl.

Swiftly, I jump up to my feet just as Smokey aims a hand towards me.

Seafoam green sparks of energy begin to burst and swirl around my body medium-blue sparks of energy begin to burst and swirl around Smokey.

"Water Charge, Level Two-!"  I begin to shout, but again, before I can even finish chanting my spell, a blast of steam bursts from Smokey's hand and flies towards me.

"-Squirt Gun!"  I shout as I thrust my hands towards Smokey, firing off my own blast of water.

Our two spells fly towards one another then collide, forming a giant cloud of steam due to the chilling coolness of my water meating Smokey's boiling smoke.

"It's crazy, Smokey can E-Charger in no time FLAT!"  I comment as my eyesight is obstructed.

But then, the Smoke ahead of me begins to swirl, and take the form of Smokey.

Smokey launches a smoke-engulfed fist towards me, just as I launch my own fist towards Smoley, swirling with water.

"-Rapids Claw!"  I shout as my fist slams into Smokey, but Smokey's own fist overpowers my own.

"Crap, I didn't have enough time to Charge up a strong enough spell!"  I cry as Smoket's fist slams into me, sending me flying backwards again.

"Funny, isn't it, Water Charger?"  Smokey asks as his body re-materializes, "Our elements…and spells are actually pretty similar to one another's, aren't they."

"I don't share similarities with you, creep…" I growl as I push myself back up to my feet.

"Let's see you dodge this-!"  I shout before resuming my Charge Stance.

"Water Charge, Level One: Bullet Rain!"  I shout as I summon a rain cloud above Smokey, which begins to rain down needle-sharp droplets of water upon the Smoke user.

In order to defend, Smokey turns his body into smoke.

At first, my rain has no effect on the smoke, however, with a fierce battle cry, I intensify the speed of my falling rain drops, and slowly, the force of my rain begins to cause the smoke to dissipate.

Having his body being spread far too thin, Smokey re-materializes into flesh, with a wince of pain on his face.

But I don't give Smokey the chance to breathe, and I keep up the attack.

"Water Charge, Level Three: Rapids Claw!"  I shout as I E-Charger briefly then charge Smokey.

I slam my fist into Smokey's face with a powerful hook-punch, however, Smokey turns his head into smoke to defend, before sending me stumbling backwards with a powerful jab of his own.

"Water Charge-!"  I begin to shout as I resume my Charge Stance, but before I can finish chanting my spell, Smokey appears before me instantly, and jabs me in the gut, causing me to double over before slipping off his fist and dropping to the ground on my knees.

"Why don't you just give up?"  Smokey asks as he glares at me.

"Are you kidding?"  I smirk back, "It's not like you did a big number on me yourself!"

Smokey narrows his eyes at me.

Before he can say another word, I leap up and slam another hook punch into Smokey's cheek, who turns his upper-torso into smoke to defend.

Using the momentum of my initial attack, I spina round and deliver a spinning kick to Smokey's kidneys, who promptly turns his lower-half into smoke to defend, as well.

Perfect.

Using the momentum of my kick, I spin forwards then thrust both hands towards Smokey.

"-SQUIRT GUN!"  I shout, and a powerful blast of water flies form his hands with such force that it causes the smoky making up Smoker's body to fly backwards as well and slam to the rocky wall standing a couple-dozen feet away from me.

By condensing Smokey's body in such a tightly-knit space, this forces Smokey to re-materialize, and I spy Smokey laying on the ground, his eyes wide in shock.

"How about that!"  I smirk as I limp over to Smokey, "Not bad, huh?"

"I-impossible…" Smokey stammers as he slowly pushes himself up to his feet, "No one…has EVER managed to land an attack on me…"

"Well you better start believing it!"

Swiftly, Smokey Reaches to his hip and draws his sword, aiming the tip of his blade towards me.

"Oh?"  I taunt, "Am I finally worthy of tasting your steel?"

"Remorse, Water Charger," Smokey growls, "Because no one who has ever seen this blade…HAS LIVED TO TELL ABOUT IT!"

And so, the fight continues…
