The Battle Heats Up!! (l)
However, something strange happened.
At the same time, Shana suddenly slipped from his grasp, as if had a will of that own.
El briefly glanced at him, slightly surprised.
Shana shot forward, piercing the space between El and Karna's arrow, spinning wildly like a fighter propeller, parsing the air with a sharp whistling sound, absorbing Susano'o's energy and the Ash Flame essence that enveloped that sword.
BOOM!
An almighty explosion was created as the two forces collided.
The sky split open, a boom wave was created and space seemed to whimper.
Karna squinted, shocked.
He had not expected the weapon to move on its own, protecting its owner with full awareness.
And in the midst of the destruction, Shana hummed softly in a voice the world could not understand, except for El.
That buzzing was a message.
El smiled slightly. Without words, El understood what Shana meant, before clenching his left fist tightly.
"Break it down."
And instantly, hundreds of fire arrows that seemed to be frozen between spaces shattered into pieces, exploding like broken glass in an empty space.
However, all was not yet over.
In a single thought control, the spatial fragments floating in the air moved toward El's right hand, coalescing and solidifying into an elegant sword, pulsing with reddish-purple Dou Qi burning along the blade.
Without hesitation, El darted straight away, utilizing the effect of the Air Walk shoes that made his steps seem to dance in the air,
as if he was treading the ground in the sky.
His sword swung with a deadly flash of light, slashing straight at Karna.
Reflexively, Karna turned his bow back into a spear and in a single flash, parried El's slash.
CLANG!
The first boom broke the silence, the room crumbling like shattered glass.
El immediately retreated as far away from Karna as possible, his every step in the air creating spatial cracks that crackled across the sky.
His right hand was outstretched, open palm pointing straight at where Karna stood in the distance.
"Chibaku Tensei!" said El loudly, emphatically.
In an instant, everything around began to tremble, the golden sand, the shards of space, and the cracked monolith rock were all lifted up and sucked towards Karna's body.
The material twisted, pressed, and stuck together, forming a giant sphere like a prison planet hundreds of kilometers in diameter.
But El had not stopped.
He clasped his hands together. The fourth-stage Susano'o formed in an instant, its body engulfed by a gigantic figure that also pressed its palms together.
The six tomoe on the Rinnegan rotated slowly, emitting a dense light full of Samsara's intensity.
"Tengai Shinsei."
The sky suddenly darkened, as if the night sky had forcibly replaced the day. Air pressure pressed downward, squeezing everything on the ground.
The sky suddenly darkened, as if the night sky had forcibly replaced the day. The air pressure pressed down, squashing everything on the ground.
Whooosh!
Then a gigantic meteor, burning fiercely with atmospheric friction, emerged from the sky. Its diameter exceeded hundreds of kilometers, looming like cosmic wrath dropped from the heavens.
BOOOOM!!!
The meteor slammed into Chibaku Tensei-the planetary prison where Karna was sealed, with a force not enough to crush a small mountain.
The collision created a shockwave that shook the air, sweeping away everything around it mercilessly. Sand melted, space rumbled, and the horizon cracked.
In the midst of the destruction, El held on with heavy breathing. Although his body was ravaged by fatigue from using two high-level Rinnegan techniques, he remained standing.
Wasting no time, he swallowed several Health Pills, recovering some of his vitality. His figure remained upright, protected by the stage four Susano'o that was now reinforced by his Dou Qi.
"O, Agni!"
From the center of the collision, Karna's voice echoed, calling out the name of the fire god with conviction.
Within seconds, his body emitted a dazzling light-bright as the sun that pierced through all the mist and dust of destruction.
"Ugh..." El muttered under his breath, immediately raising a hand to cover his eyes from the searing rays.
A moment later, the light dimmed. The dust slowly cleared, revealing the figure of Karna who stood upright-without a single wound, the Mana Burst (Flame) under feet supporting Karna so that he could fly in the sky.
"...Damn," El muttered, his eyes narrowing sharply at his seemingly immovable opponent. "Kavacha & Kundala... completely beyond reason."
There was no time to breathe.
Karna darted out, his spear swinging swiftly through the air.
El responded, drawing his Spatial Sword.
The two forces collided, triggering a spark of energy that shook the sky once more.
In the next second, the battle began again.
CLANK! CLANK! CLANK!
The realm of this world bore witness.
The sky was torn more and more like paper, two entities fought it out, slashing through time and space.
Natural stone monoliths collapsed one by one, golden sands burned, froze, then shattered into pieces.
The sky rumbled, and the world trembled just from their fight.
The golden sands burned, froze, and thawed again in seconds.
Some time passed, and the battle temporarily subsided. Karna made a distance, floating high in the air, with Mana Burst (Flame) spraying from the soles of his feet, supporting his body as if standing on divine fire.
On the other hand, El stood on the wind,
calm yet alert, as if the air itself was subject to him.
The six tomoe in his Rinnegan eyes rotated slowly, depicting Samsara's increasing intensity.
Suddenly, the spear in Karna's hand lit up, golden red, glowing like a miniature sun. Magic energy overflowed, enveloping the weapon until it seemed about to explode.
Seeing the movement of Karna's hand pulling the spear back, El immediately understood his intentions in a split second. Rinnegan's insightful eyes read Karna's intentions like reading an open script.
Without hesitation, El released his grip on his Spatial Sword. It fell slowly, spun in the air, and landed on the sand.
In a firm voice, El said: "Shana."
Instantly, the white sword, Shana which was previously stuck on the ground quite a distance away from El, lifted up and glided quickly, piercing the air before finally landing perfectly in El's hand.
At the same time, the Mana Burst (Flame) in Karna's hand surged violently, its magic aura soaring and rippling like an angry sun.
On the other side, from Shana, the holy white Ash Flame essence began to flow profusely, enveloping the sword blade.
A cold yet terrifying white flame enveloped him, crackling softly like a burning ice flower.
Karna raised his spear, then threw it with the full force that could shatter the sky.
"Brahmasta Kundala!" cried Karna in a tone of voice that mingled with the fiery spear in his hand.
The spear shot out with a dazzling golden-red light, piercing the sky like a heavenly curse falling to earth.
El did not stay still. Immediately, it rotated its body 360 degrees, created momentum and swung at Shana, releasing a single horizontal slash.
"Flame Splitting Tsunami!" exclaimed El loudly.
In one powerful move, and explosion of energy from the Ash Flame rushed forward, taking the form of a giant white flame wave that looked like a divine cold, deadly, and merciless.
The two attacks collided in the air.
The sky became dazzling white and fiery red at the same time.
Just as the two attacks collided, the world seemed to explode in one absolute moment.
An enormous explosion was created, a collision of energy so tremendous that it engulfed the world around it.
The sky was torn apart, like an old cloth that could no longer withstand the pressure of their power.
Space split apart, creating more and more spatial fissures of black and reddish-purple that flashed terrifyingly, while a huge energy storm was created, spewing burning flames, sharp ice, raging lightning, and wild winds that split the air.
Everything was lifted off the ground, sand, rocks, even giant monoliths, all of which were dragged into the maddening vortex of energy.
The sound of the storm's roar echoed, shaking heaven and earth, as if even nature was screaming in destruction.
Flames shot wildly in all directions, scorching the sky. Ice fell like a rain of death from above.
Lightning struck relentlessly, like the whip of the gods, while the wind blew like sharp blades that could slice through the dimension itself.
All the elements spun in a deadly dance, creating a storm of destruction with an intensity that could crush anything it touched.
Then in long moments that felt like an eternity, things slowly began to die down.
The wind thinned, dust fell to the ground, lightning disappeared one by one, tongues of fire faded, and grains of ice melted in the air.
All that remained was a deep silence, and scars on a world that had just witnessed a power beyond imagination.
The wind blew softly in the middle of the desert that was no longer intact. The golden sands that spread far and wide are often found frozen into cold crystals.
While the other half melted into hot lava, the result of the violent collision of two opposing forces.
Some even melted into molten rock due to Karna's Divine Flame, while the rest were trapped in an eternal frost caused by El's Ash Flame.
Above the sky and all around the battlefield, spatial cracks gaped like shattered glass floating around, yet to be reunited.
The legal system of this world seemed overwhelmed, struggling to heal the spatial wounds created by the battle of two entities that had transcended the boundaries of the mortal world.
