Tride

*Screech*

Tride screeched, its voice causing ripples in the air. For a few good minutes each person here got deaf.

"Edith, we will talk later. This guy is also here…*sighs*…let's take care of this shall we."

Saying so he looked at me and Kaltain, Kaltain passed an amused smile, simultaneously both of them went towards Tride breaking sound barriers.

Kaltain flew with his gravity control while the hoodie guy casually used his miniature black holes to propel himself.

I contemplated first whether to join them or not, I had already messed up a lot today. I should not waste a chance to redeem myself, even so I used my foresight ability to glance at our future...I made my way, following the two.

"I'm the slowest of the three…what kind of regressor am I?"

Edith stayed behind, staring at us from far away. None of the students tried to do anything to her, which was a relief.

"she listened to him…who the fuck is this guy?"

I have said this a lot for sure but Edith was never the type to listen to any guy, she was the ice queen. Why is she so soft? I need to have a talk with this guy after this is over.

For the time being Tride should be the focus of attention.

Kaltain and hoodie guy arrived before the Tride, its massive head observed them for a sometime, after which it opened its mouth, an enormous amount of energy convulsed emitting blinding lights, striking both of them at light speed.

'Deceleration', i decreased the speed of the attack. They dodged the attack by minimum margin, not wasting the opportunity, both guys attacked Tride with a powerful attack.

Kaltain, still flying, attacked with his thousands of wind slashes and using nearby debris hurling them at near light speed. The attacks dealt at the legs showed considerable damage whereas the ones hitting the shell did nothing.

The hoodie guy, hurled miniature black holes the size of a basketball towards the legs as well the shell. The black holes voraciously consumed the titans flesh and shell before getting extinguished.

Tride screeched, the space around us as if heeding his command emitted a rusted colour, trapping us in a different dimension away from the usual reality. The entire space had nothing, beside the ever existing void. A place for our battle and demise.…

The next fight started fairly quickly, the fight went on as I slowed Tride's attacks while the hoodie guy attacked it from all directions. There was lack of air or any debris to attack with, Kaltain was pretty much useless.

Strangely enough without any vaccum we were still able to talk, the hoodie guy was the one to start the convo.

"This will go on forever, if we fight a battle of attrition. We will be the first to lose"

"Do you have any plans? Mister?"

"Azrael…call me Azrael."

Azrael? That name doesn't ring a bell, Edith never talked about him. I ignored the useless thoughts. "Oh, so do you have any plans?"

"From our fight, We can decipher that it has some level of space control, yet its forte is actually energy. It's body is pretty dense, if this fellow gets angry and stops controlling the space to hold it. The planet will sink, we have one singular hit to finish this fellow off. And ofcourse he doesn't move for some reason. Maybe it takes a toll on him?"

We can see that much, you should talk about your plan mister. "And how would we do it?"

"For the time being let's amuse him, slowly but surely accumulate some damage after which you white hair, when I bond my black holes to make one bigger. I want you to collapse the space as much as you can, at that time girly you, you will use your time control ability to accelerate the process."

I really didn't like the fact he called me girly, who likes being called girly.

"Hmph…my name is Vesna and that white haired guy is Kaltain."

He tanked an incoming beam of light, sneakily attacking in the process too. "Oh…nice..gorgeous names both of you…we know the battle plan soo shall we commence it."

Kaltain and I both simultaneously said, "Yes sir!!"

Kaltain passed me a look of appreciation, he was surprised, Same here.

The fight went on, I continuously slowed time giving Azrael opportunities to attack while defending himself and both me and Kaltain.

He was using his black holes to propel him over one place to another, Tride was also accumulating damages slowly.

The void surrounding us made some movement, we went highly on guard. Suddenly countless mirages of Tride's face attacked us from every direction.

Azrael created thousands of black holes to prevent any of us from getting hit. The scene was of pure chaos, sapphire blinding mirages of Tride were attacking us relentlessly, while Azrael was constantly creating black holes to prevent damage, shrinking the literal dimension in process.

Finally finding a way to battle, Kaltain increased the power of the black holes using his gravity aspect.

Azrael sent him a nod, he decreased the power output of the black holes and started creating them in bulk, albeit on a much smaller scale.

Kaltain increased the power output, making them much bigger and even stronger than the previous ones.

I was feeling pretty much useless in this fight, kind of a bad stigma on my title of regressor. Slowing attacks was pretty broken stuff but still, it wasn't like I slowed the attacks at a tortoise pace.

Even though Tride was a literal tortoise.

The battle raged on, Tride was accumulating damages it's previous rusted self was more rusted, the pristine shell was devoured at various places.

We were the same though, our energy was all time low. Many attacks passed through us. Klatain was injured the most, right after Azrael.

As a supporter I was pretty much unscathed. It was not something I should be proud of.

"Time for the final showdown."

Azrael moved his hand up front, bonding his black holes into one singular entity. The sensation felt because of the formation was throbbing, instinctual fear assaulted me.

Kaltain was probably the same too, I could see that on his face. Still using his reservoir of energy, Kaltain increased the power output of the black hole, making it even more threatening as if the harbinger of death itself.

Tride constantly attacked the forming black hole, but its attack just became nourishment, growing it even more fierce, even the dimension was trembling because of its wake.
