Flat-Brim Samurai Chapter 52
Cias and Devan faced the room of people ,"Well done on making it this far but unfortunately this barrier between us will not break for just anyone," ,"Yes, it's a nuclear class barrier that absorbs the ki of others so unless the reactor in the middle of this city breaks, there will be no way to kill us." Cias replied ,"We'll see about that, fuckers."
,"RAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!" Apollo screamed, he ran around Noah creating endless afterimages whilst attacking Noah from many angles. Noah said ,"WHERE WAS ALL THIS EARLIER, DECIDED TO WAKE UP!?!" ,"You could say something like that!" Noah zoned in his senses picking up on the Apollo ki, attacking right at the moment he was near. Apollo went in for a punch and sensed Noah countering, Apollo dodged back to evade. Apollo had to fake an attack thus he dashed in again and used Art: Conceal Presence. This made it much harder for Noah to sense him, Apollo's attack continued.
Apollo sent Art: Water Wave's through the air so getting in too close was never a problem. Noah, still smiling, was dripping with blood and punched the ground hard. The ground shook and broke. Pieces of the ground flew through the air and obscured Apollo's vision whilst also removing his ability to fire correctly. Noah used this to get close to Apollo and start landing a miniguns worth of punches. Apollo of course attempted to block this but his arms broke due to force and flopped to his sides. Apollo put up three Art: Barriers so that he could create distance.
He used Art: Recovery to the level where he could heal his broken arms. His ki was depleting at a rapid rate. Noah charged towards him. Apollo started to use barrier's and redirected Noah's blows. He guided Noah's punches and landed counterattacks. Apollo was flowing with his opponent, his tenseness ceased and his attacks increased in power. Apollo regained his mind and also gained his confidence back.
Apollo was seeing everything, like all things were where they were supposed to be. He entered a trance like state where everything in it's entirety seemed to make sense to him. Combos came to him in the moment, he could see every opening Noah had. His eyes glazed over and he attacked on instinct, he was in the zone. Noah saw this and was happy ,"SO YOU'VE FINALLY DECIDED TO GO ALL OUT, WELL WHY DON'T I DO THE SAME." Power then radiated from Noah's body.
When the dust cleared gauntlets and grieves covered Noah's arms and legs. Apollo saw this and was knocked out of his trance. (No way has this guy seriously powered up again right?) Apollo thought, already knowing the answer to that question. Noah disappeared from vision and punched Apollo on the solar plexus. Apollo was completely winded, his ribs were cracked, his body was receiving reverberating damage. Laying in a crater on the side of the arena wall, he tried to regain his bearings. His consciousness slipped, he grasped it and filled his lungs with air activating Art: Wind and using Art: Recovery.
He couldn't see any of the attacks Noah threw at him due to the insane disparity in power. Apollo decided he needed to boost his nervous system to a higher level and attempted to boost it. At first, only a higher output of Art: Reinforce was available to him which was good but he needed to directly enhance his nervous system. He focused deep into his body and felt the signals being sent, he applied ki thought his system to boost his reaction time and mind muscle connection. His body felt like it was about to explode by the amount of information it was picking up but he could finally see Noah with Art: Overdrive (An art that allowed him to boost up his nervous system to a much higher degree. Although this did have a major drawback, if he sent too much ki through this system his nerves could explode and he would become impaired. Only due to Apollo's excessively refined ki control was he able to do this, even if it was still very unrefined). Apollo barely redirected Noah's next punch whilst Noah was on the attack. Noah told Apollo "You know, you never disappoint."
