"Talking"
—----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Gray grunted, forcing his legs to keep moving as he leaped onto a nearby building. Behind him, a light sword slammed into the ground, consuming the world in light as it destroyed everything around it.
Sorry to all the little Yardratians who are going to die today…
Gray thought idly, flipping through the air as he leaped off the building and onto another. As he did, another purple light sword slammed into it and exploded in a dome of light.
How much of a boost did he get…
Gray glanced back at Kokobiel, using [Observe] as he dodged another exploding light sword.
[Cruel] (Enhanced) Kokobiel:
[Demon]
Age: 1,780
PL: 2,574,552,000
HP: 910,000/1,798,500
TKI: 72,000/72,000
TMP: 3,759,000/4,959,000
Reputation: 0/0 (Neutral)
[Cruel] Modifier - Individuals with this modifier will be naturally cruel.
2 billion? His power level almost doubled, and his MP pretty much fuckin' tripled.
"Even… even if it's only temporary…" Kokobiel yelled, his voice still ragged as his body seemed uneven and exhausted, "I'll keep this fight going! I won't… let it end now!"
However, there are definitely side effects.
Despite Kokobiel becoming so much stronger, it was obvious that his body couldn't handle it well. His physical body looked like it was bulging all over, as if the magical power was physically trying to escape him. More so than that, he looked constantly exhausted at working to maintain the power, leading him to not go in for a close-range fight again.
All he can do is attack from afar. If I can keep evading these swords, then I'll win.
Gray dived off the building he was on, ignoring the way a boom rang out as it was destroyed a split second later. As he landed on the ground, he gritted his teeth as he lunged forward. Another light sword slammed into the ground behind him, exploding in a ball of purple light.
But, I doubt I can tank more than one or two of these without my Ki. I need to avoid them.
While Kokobiel's powerup hadn't given him a higher power level than Gray, his insane levels of MP meant that the light swords would've hurt even if Gray had Ki protecting him. Without it, he wasn't certain he could endure more than a couple blows.
"Let's… continue!" Kokobiel shouted suddenly, and his body started to glow a deep purple. One second Gray was looking at him floating in the air, the next second he seemingly disappeared from existence - leaving behind just a couple of crow feathers floating towards the ground.
The fuc-
Gray flung himself to the side as a purple light sword slashed into where he had been standing. As it did, a large beam of magical power shot outward - slamming through the ground where Gray had been standing like an earthquake. It cut through the street, buildings, and anything else in its way as the ground shook.
Gray didn't have a moment of reprieve, rolling to the side again as another blade of purple energy shot at him as Kokobiel shot forward again.
Damn it. Having to use my fuckin' points because of this stupid Ki-barrier!
Gray threw himself to the side, reaching his hand out and slamming his remaining points into STR and AGI as he dodged the attack.
Putting any in END is useless here - I need to not get hit, and I need to deal a lot of damage.
Gray dodged another swing, dashing forward and launching a fist at Kokobiel. As he did, the demon man didn't even try to dodge. He let Gray's fist slam into his gut as he swung his purple light sword at him again.
5,000HP! (905,000/1,798,500)
Fuck, how high did his END get?!
Gray grunted, backpedaling as he barely dodged Kokobiel's sword swipe.
High as fuck, clearly. But…
Gray sidestepped another sword swing, easily moving out of the way as a blade of magical power destroyed the ground behind him.
He's slower.
'Slower' wasn't completely accurate - in fact, Kokobiel was definitely moving faster than he was before his power-up, and Gray would have struggled to keep up with Kokobiel's magic-power enhanced movements without his Ki. But, while Kokobiel was faster, he was also…
Uncoordinated. Clumsy.
Kokobiel wasn't adapted to the changes in his body - his new bulking size, uneven proportions, and uneven balance from having a wing ripped out.
I'll still win.
Not that Gray ever thought he wouldn't win - even without his Ki, and the majority of his skills, which were Ki-based, he still knew he'd win.
Because I'll never lose again.
Gray shot forward, rolling under Kokobiel's next swipe and then leaping toward him. He arms lashed out, his fist slamming into Kokobiel's bare chest again - as the demon's coat had been destroyed in his power-up.
5,000HP! (900,000/1,798,500)
Kokobiel swung his sword at him wildly, but Gray shifted his weight, dodging as he slammed another fist into Kokobiel's gut.
5,000HP! (895,000/1,798,500)
Glad to see Kolra's style still has some use.
After unlocking Broly's much stronger and much more dominant style, Gray wasn't sure he'd be in a situation where he would use Kolra's boxing again. But, against the powered-up Kokobiel it was preferable. Gray couldn't afford to completely focus on his offense, trying to dominate Kokobiel when he didn't have the fire-power to take him down quickly without his Ki. In the same vein, he couldn't afford to take that many attacks either, so Kolra's hit-and-dodge style was optimal.
5,000HP! (890,000/1,798,500)
The exchange continued, Kokobiel lashing out wildly as any sense of sword technique faded with his new uncoordinated body. Gray continued to dodge, getting in blow after blow and avoiding getting hit himself.
"GRAH! STOP DODGING!" Kokobiel roared, his wings shooting out from behind him again. They stabbed at Gray, but Gray merely smirked in response.
I was waiting for a chance like this. This is gonna hurt, but…
Gray grimanced, not dodging as the wings tore through the air toward him. They slammed into him, the sharp ends cutting into his sides and chest as his torso erupted in a fountain of blood.
-100,000HP! (1,967,630/2,412,100)
-100,000HP! (1,867,630/2,412,100)
-100,000HP! (1,767,630/2,412,100)
-100,000HP! (1,667,630/2,412,100)
-100,000HP! (1,567,630/2,412,100)
-100,000HP! (1,467,630/2,412,100)
-100,000HP! (1,367,630/2,412,100)
Gray coughed out a glob of blood, pain shooting through him as the seven sharp ends of the wings cut into him. But, despite the pain, he let out a bloody grin.
It wouldn't be a good fight if I didn't get a bit bloody.
Notably, only seven wings were cutting deep into Gray's muscles at the moment - the other two were caught, Gray's hands gripping them harshly.
I have HP to play with. He doesn't.
"I told you not to be careless with these," Gray grinned, looking slightly psychotic as blood flowed out of his mouth and coated his body. He shifted his grip, wrapping his full arms around each one so they were tucked under his armpits. Then, he planted his feet firmly in the ground and yanked his arms backward.
200,000HP! (690,000/1,798,500)
200,000HP! (490,000/1,798,500)
"GRAHHHHHHHH!" Kokobiel exploded in pain, screeching out as he stumbled backward. Two more wings were ripped out of his back. A fountain of blood exploded outward, Kokobiel's body becoming just as stained in red as Gray's was.
Gray tossed the wings to his sides, letting them fall to the ground as he breathed heavily, staring down Kokobiel. He took a step back, shifting back into his fighting stance.
Damn, that was only kind of worth it. His END is too high now - I can't take a trade like that again.
Gray's thoughts didn't matter, as Kokobiel had no intention of risking his precious few remaining wings. He shot upward into the air, creating space between him and Gray as he held his arms out widely.
"I DON'T CARE ANYMORE, BASTARD!" Kokobiel screamed, his face looking less excited and more enraged as he lost two more wings, "DIE! [CADRE'S DOMINION!]"
Suddenly, the world exploded with purple light. It was even brighter than before, with hundreds upon hundreds of purple light swords appearing in the air around Gray.
…New tactic - be a bitch.
Gray grunted, tensing his legs as he shot forward through the street. He barreled into an untouched building far down the street, barreling through the wall and landing in a plain-looking lobby room.
Is this being smart, or being a bitch? Who cares - Kokobiel won't be alive to tell anyone I did this shit anyway.
Gray crouched in the building, taking advantage of Kokobiel's face being twisted in focus as he formed the hundreds of light spears.
I can't keep track of him, but he can't track me either. I'll pull a Krillin on him.
Considering that demons could only track magical power and not Ki, Kokobiel had no way of tracking down Gray once he lost sight of him. And, true to Gray's plan, Kokobiel started yelling wildly in the air.
"WHERE ARE YOU, BASTARD?! TAKE YOUR DEATH LIKE A WARRIOR, BRAT!" Kokobiel screamed, raising his arms as he glared around the city angrily, "I'LL BLOW THIS WHOLE CITY UP IF I HAVE TO!"
I liked him better when he was just 'I want a good fight crazy' and not 'cliche about-to-die villain monologuing crazy'
A loud explosion rang out as Kokobiel started sending light spears hurtling into the city, building after building exploding in a burning orb.
Now, where is the last place he'd expect me to be?
Meanwhile, Kokobiel continued to glance around the city angrily, swiping his hands out as explosion after explosion rang out. He lashed out with his sword, sending a blade of purple energy outward and slicing through a section of the city - causing everything in its path to be destroyed and for a giant ravine to form in the planet's surface.
"DID YOU DIE ALREADY, SAIYAN?!" Kokobiel mocked, growing frustrated as nearly the entire giant capital city was destroyed and yet he didn't find Gray.
"You should look down next time," Gray grinned, and Kokobiel's eyes widened. He spun around, but it was too late as Gray's feet slammed into his chest, sending him hurtling down to the planet's surface.
Though, I can't blame him. Who would think that their opponent was just hiding in a crater?
After Kokobiel had started flinging around his light swords, Gray had simply moved to the crater under the man - the one that had formed when he had powered-up, and that was where the capital building had previously been.
Kokobiel's body rocketed down to the planet's surface, slamming into it and forming a giant crater as Gray's body forced him downward.
10,000HP! (480,000/1,798,500)
Kokobiel barely took any damage from being ripped out of the sky, but he didn't need to. Gray leaned down as Kokobiel was crumpled in the crater, not giving him a second to react as he wrapped his palms around two of the man's wings. He shifted them in his grip, wrapping his arms around them again. Then, he stomped his feet down, causing Kokobiel to gasp as Gray used him as a base.
"W-Wait! YOU BAST- GRAHHHHH!" Kokobiel tried to lash out with his light sword again, but didn't get the chance.
Gray pulled backward, grunting in effort as he ripped the two appendages out from Kokobiel's body.
200,000HP! (280,000/1,798,500)
200,000HP! (80,000/1,798,500)
"GRAHH!" Kokobiel screamed again in agony, the man's bulging body convulsing as he spat out a glob of blood. He rolled on the ground in pain, his hands reaching out and desperately covering the holes in his body as blood poured out.
"It was a good fight," Gray hummed, a bloodthirsty grin forming on his face. He leaned down, grabbing the three remaining wings on Kokobiel's left side under one of his arms and then the other three under his right arm. Kokobiel didn't try to stop him, the man rolling and groaning as pain filled his mind.
"W-Wait…" Was all Kokobiel got out before he coughed out another glob of blood, staring up at Gray with terror-filled eyes, "D-Don't do it! We can team up! I can be useful - I can- GAH"
[Demon 'Kokobiel' has been defeated!]
+2,500,000 XP!
+2,500,000 Coins!
Gray yanked back, and in a fountain of blood, the six remaining wings on Kokobiel were ripped out. The man gave one final gasp, his blood-red eyes filled with pain. Then, he slumped over, dead.
You're here betraying your boss right now, and you think I'll trust you to be my subordinate?
Gray dropped the wings at his side, staring down at the bloody corpse as his own blood trailed down his side.
"That was… so badass!" Gray blinked as a sudden female voice spoke, glancing over at the source. Behind a giant pile of debris remaining from the capital building, two beautiful woman stared at him with wide eyes.
+1,000 Reputation with Kale (For defeating Kokobiel) [4x from [Ladies Man], [A Humble Master]]
+1,000 Reputation with Fasha (For defeating Kokobiel) [4x from [Ladies Man], [A Humble Master]]
Gray stared blankly at the two women.
What the fuck?
