Chapter 121-Ana vs Tondra, Part Four
The two women then resume their Charge Stances.
"Wind Charge, Level Four: Heaven-Piercing Gale!" Ana shouts as she thrusts her katana towards Tondra, firing off a powerful tornado.
In response, Tondra cartwheels to the side in order to dodge Ana's spell, then lands on the rocky pillar besides the one that Tondra was previously standing on.
Ana's spell then blasts into the cavern wall behind where Tondra previously stood..
"Lightning Charge, Level One: Charged Slash!" Tondra shouts as she draws her katana then jabs the tip of its blade towards Ana, firing off a lightning bolt.
But just like Tondra's manuever earlier, Ana cartwheels to the side in order to dodge Tondra's spell, landing on the rocky pillar next to her.
Just like Ana's spell before, Tondra's spell blasts the wall where Tondra previously stod.
Both the pillars that Ana and Tondra were previously standing on begin to crumble then fall into the lava below.
Ana resumes her Charge Stance.
"Wind Charge, Level Four: Heaven-Piercing Gale!" Ana shouts as she thrusts her katana towards Tondra, firing off a tornado that collides with the rocky platform that Tundra is standing on, shatters it, and reduces it to rubble which falls into the lava pool below.
Tondra hops over to the next platform.
"There's nowhere to run," Ana fgrowls, "This fight will be determined based on who runs out of room first."
"That's what you think," Tondra smirks as she resumes her Charge Stance.
"DISSECT!" Tondra shouts as she draws her katana then slashes it outwards.
"That attack, hmm…?" Ana asks, "When Tondra used it earlier, it seemed to be some sort of invisible slash that cut straight through that rock like it was butter. I was only able to dodge that slash because my Wind Charge allowed me to sense the air waves rippling around that attack…if I WASN'T the one fighting Tondra, I could have died!"
Tondra's invisible slash makes contact with the rocky pillar that Ana is standing on and cuts CLEAN through it, causing it to crumble away.
"Woah!" Ana cries as she leaps to the next platform.
"My new Devil Eye allows me to dissect ANYTHING," Tondra smirks as she pats her right eye, "So long as it's not a living breathing organism."
Tondra resumes her Charge Stance again, then swings her katana outwards, firing off another invisible world dissecting blade.
"DISSECT!" Tonra chants as she does so.
Tondra fires off another dissecting blade, which cleaves through the rock platform that Ana is standing on with immediate ease, and forces her to jump to the next one.
"Crap!" Ana grunts to herself as she hops from platform to platform, just nearly doding Tundra dissecting slashes with each swing, which lower every rocky platform on Ana's side into the laval pool, "If I could just chant a spell, I could get out of the situation, but Tondra isn't giving me any room to breath!"
Tondra smirks and Ana cowers once the two swordswomen realize the situation that Ana is in.
"DISSECT!" Tondra cackles as she swings her katana towards Ana one last time, firing off one final dissecting blade.
But then, the very MOMENT that Tondra's dissecting blade collides with the final rock platform that Ana has left o stand on, Ana times her jump perfectly and LEAPS into the air the moment the platform is destroyed.
"Wha-what…?" Tondra asks.
As Ana begins falling towards the laval pool below, she resumes her Charge Stane.
"Lightning Charge, Level Three: Tailwind!" Ana shouts as she draws her katana then swings it upwards, summoning an up draft from below.
Ana lands on top of her tailwind, which keeps her afloat, bobbing up and down in the air.
"Not bad," Tondra smirks, "Now we actually have a platform to fight on."
"NOW we can fight like proper swordswomen," Ana smirks back.
The two women then draw their katanas and charge.
Once before one another both Anna and Todnra swing their katana outwards. Their blades clash and sparks are sent flying as a metallic clang echoes throughout the lava pool.
The two swordsmen unleash a flurry of HUNDREDS of blows, exchanging katana slashes back and forth.
That is, until Tondra chants: "DISSECT," causing Ana's eyes to widen.
This falter gives the smirking Tondra a chance to strike, slashing Ana across the chest and drawing blood, causing Ana's eyes to widen.
"She cut through…,my armor so easily…" Ana gasps as she begins to fall backwards as blood explodes from the gash in her stomach.
Weak from blood loss and the fatigue of Tondra's previous blows, Ana's tailwind gives out, and the swordswoman begins to fall into the lava below.
"I didn't lie to you," Tondra says as she ominously stares down at the drawing Todna once she's safely planted herself on another platform, "My dissect DOES only work on inanimate objects. It just so happens that I decided to target your armor rather than your own flesh, allowing me to cut you with it."
"So long, Ana…"

Ana pants heavily as Luciano berates her, Noah, and Gaia.
"DAMMIT, why can't I get it!" Ana cries, "Why can't I Infinity Charge?!"
"It's because you're thinking too SMALL SCALE about your wind, my allievo," Luciano explains, "Remember, the ability to Infinity Charge is the ability to destroy the world, to wash it all away with a huge flood or a powerful earthquake. The ability to control wind isn't about small gusts, it's about-"
***
"-Tornadoes."
"Tornadoes. THAT'S what my Infinity Charge should be…"
Tondra's eyes widen as she watches And fall towards the lava below, while medium green sparks of energy EXPLODE out of Ana's body like never seen before.
"What…is this strength…?!" Tondra grunts as shockwaves of air push her backwards, "This feels like..the Lord's true strength!"
"Infinity Charge…" Ana begins to say, "-GRAND TORNADO!"
The wind around And then begins circulating rapidly, forming a GIANT tornado that cleaves away the entire cavern, enlarging it, as well as shredding through each of the rock platforms that Tonda was able to stand in, who screams as she falls into the love below.
As for Ana, she watches menacingly, using the wind to keep her afloat.
"The power to destroy the world, huh….?"
