The tyrannical clash shook the skies rattling the very core of the existence itself, Haruki and the dragon moved like a duo of death, their blurry forms slashing though the nights sky like streaks of fury, their movements coordinated, almost like the've been through countless battles in the past.

On the other hand Zain's figure flashed, his purple silluettes clashing against Haruki's fiery blur, rattling the very core of the earth itself.

Their battled painted the skies in a purple and fiery hue, Haruki stood atop the dragon, moving at mach speds as Zain's massive figure collided with him.

His wings, spanning the size of a massive building moved incredibly fast for it's size, gliding thought he night sky like a sonic boom.

Each of their clash sent tremors down the ground, shattering the nearby window making the building with weak foundation crumble into rubble.

Zach couldn't see much.

Just the glow of a purple and fiery lance clashing acrose the sky, each time they touched, the ground beneath him trembled As If the earth itself was begging these two colossal entities to halt their clash.

The police didn't move, each of them looked at the clouds with awe, they jaws slack, the battled was like a painting made by divinity, an epitome of mastery of the mystic arts...

Haruki dragon falters as Zain took the initiative, launching at Haruki.

Before the two collided Haruki jumped off the beast, landing on Zain's massive structure.

He drive his glowing red blade into Zain's back, dragging it downward in a merciless arc.

The heavenly knight screamed as the dragon opened it's gaping jaws. A stream of fire bursting out, blasting Zain to a nearby building.

The building exploded into fiery buts and pieces, and Zain laid at its bed, he slowly stood up, looking above.

Above him the massive structure of the dragon loomed—Haruki above it looking down at Zain with a scowl.

"He... he knew he couldn't compete with me in term of speed so he used the dragon as a ride..." Zain coughed.

"Impressive.."

He then gritted," I guess its time " he said stretching forth his hand...

"For you to see this.. means I truly acknowledge you as my rival... " he declared, laughing.

The space around his hand bent...

"This is my astra..."

"A black spear hovered before him, twice as long as street light stand.

Zain massive figure clutched the weapon.

Soul ability...

The air got tighter, the aura around the world thickened.., the space rippled as zain's mighty words echoed.

Blade sea...

The sky cracked, millons of blades hovered in the air, Zain's cold red eyes floated on the air.

In the middle of this forest of translucent blades lay a blade different from the rest a longer sword that pulsated with heavenly energy...

Alas a heavenly knight was still a heavenly knight... nothing in the world could change that..

The blades fell.

Zach wasn't safe either, the blades covered a span of two kilometers.

"The people..."

Humans, passerbys, and the residents watched quietly.

Silent in their cars, the clash would definitely kill them.

Zach realizing this looked towards the fleeing officers...

'In the end... '

"It's Everybody for themselves"..

The blade came down like lances of death each coming with enough force to completely crush a small hill.

Haruki and the dragon separated as Zach watched.

What would Haruki do...

Zach was sure the old man had noticed it by now... the clash could kill everybody including himself.

Something screamed at Zach that he shouldn't test he's luck, but he stood, he had to trust the old man instincts.

A web..

Hakuri and the dragon's silluoette dissolved into a world of blinding speed, they moved like lighting, haruki Vlad deflecting my hundreds of blades as the fell.

Each moved he made, was like a torrent of rotating slashes his movements minimal, fast, but deadly accurate..

He was in a class of his own.

As Zach watched from above, a hand was placed on his shoulder.

His whole body shivered..

"Beautiful isn't it..." a familiar terrifying voice echoed.

Zach flinched.. as his eyes slowly turned to his side, Zain stood by his side, he had reverted to his original form, not paying attention to Zach terrified stare looking a Haruki defend thousands of hill crushing blades..

The blades seemed endless as they fell from the sky.

That's my soul weapon's ability Zain spoke putting his hands over Zach's sweaty neck.

Zach gulped.

"The name of the technique is' elateigue tera amars' it's in astec tougue.. it means raining iron.... or you could say it means raining powerful materials.

"It'll rain, until I want it to stop... " he smiled. " Cheat code.. am I right..?".

Ahead haruki was covered in brushes and cuts the helicopters around the vicinity had long landed, hiding under a roof won't help, nor will an armored SUV help to block projectiles with 100 times more force that a high caliber bullet.

The onlookers could only look in awe a the line veteran defended It.

Zain looked at .. "why don't we play a little game he said grabbing, Zach by the next, the red hot talons sizzling away at Zach's skin.

"Arghh..." he groaned shuting his eyes in pain as Zain lifted him off the ground.

Wide a Maniacally grin he called out.

"HARUKI.."

There was no answer.

"He seems to very very concentrated on what His doing". Zain disappointed face frowned a bit, but then lightened up shortly after.

"But no worries...". He smirked.

"I will still get a satisfying reaction if I kill you here and now..." those words sent one of the coldest chills down Zach's very spine.

"R-really..?" Zach nervously chuckled, hiding his pain and terror.

"I think so..." Zain pondered.

"I'm done for..".
