The Arks 15 Dagger Vs Kunais

"The key word is when," replied Z, blocking the attack from Raiyen's twin blades. With a single swing of an arm, the poor Time Boy was launched into the air. He then landed safely on the branch of an oak tree. A tad bit too safe, to Z's expectation.

"Nice tree you've grown, Time Boy. Care to explain?"

"What's the point of having a Nature Element if you can't grow trees?" asked the cheeky boy, going in for the kill. The two beings clas.h.i.+ng was the equivalent of a giant trying to hit a fly. Not only Raiyen smaller physique was to Z's disadvantage, but his sovereignty over Time and speed was also a problem for the Lost Mage. Looks like he was at a detriment if he doesn't kick it up a notch for the training.

"I thought you were going to use that cool Galaxian Magecraft of yours," pouted Raiyen, landing on the ground. The plains were now filled with random trees and plants, much to Mavislin's annoyance. Armed with a huge fallen oak branch, Mavislin took it upon herself to throw the branch towards the Time Boy. With lightning-fast reactions, Raiyen sliced the oak branch without missing a heartbeat. A clean-cut left the two pieces landed right beside the Time Mage.

"What on earth were you thinking, Mav?!"

"That you are not supposed to destroy the battling plains," replied the Valkyrie, walking away. Z laughed as Raiyen sighed.

"At least she helped me to test out how fast your reactions and attacks were," commented Z.

"It's not rocket science to have those attributes for a Time Mage. But back to your powers, why can't you use the Lost Element on me?" asked Raiyen, playing with his daggers.

"It doesn't suit your fighting style. I'm training you by your fighting style," replied Z, throwing a Kunai in which Raiyen blocked without batting an eyelid. The two continued running around, attacking and defending. Raiyen was beginning tucker out due to his excessive use of Glitch. Z stood strong as he noticed his opponent's drain on Elemental Energy.

"You really need to work on your Elemental Energy usage," replied Z, swinging the Time Boy against the tree. Raiyen shakily got up, smiling.

"Let's see what other tricks you've got, Lost Mage. After I deliver this!" shouted Raiyen, sharpening his daggers with one another. The golden dagger exploded with golden light while the silver one did the same. Two glowing colors rested on Raiyen's palms as he went in for the kill. The surge of his Aura notified Z that it was time to draw out his second type of physical weapon. Raiyen, however, had other plans as he continuously lashed at the Lost Mage. His attacks were now random and rapid, twice the speed that he had been fighting with.

"Sneaky brat, you've been holding back?" asked Z, wiping off blood from his hand. The silver dagger's slash was nothing like the previous attacks. In fact, each and every slash after the explosion was making all wounds sting. Z winced as Raiyen glitched behind to get another cut. Z threw out a different weapon, crescent-shaped, to combat Raiyen's daggers. The hook-like blade managed to grasp onto Raiyen wrist, taking the Time Mage by surprise.

"What in the world is that weapon?!" asked Raiyen, pointing the golden dagger at Z.

"Care to explain your own first?" asked Z. Raiyen smiled, lunging towards the Lost Mage once more.

"Let's continue on the battle to learn, shall we?" asked the Time Mage, striking Z's new type of dagger. Two weapons against one weapon, Z was at a severe disadvantage, or so Raiyen thought. Z was now back on par with Raiyen's attacks, even landing scratches on the boy. He's fighting style did not change, yet it felt different than when he wielded Kunais. It was as if the Kunais were used to keep Raiyen occupied, like some toy. The one he wielded, rendered the Time Mage useless. Raiyen was unable to catch up. A ma.s.sive problem was hindering the boy from focusing. The Lost Mage as yet to unleash his pool of Elemental Energy or Aura.

"There's no Aura from that weapon, how can you be so skillful with that?" asked Raiyen, as they clashed. Z smiled.

"Did you really I'd get to the rank that I am now using those sc.r.a.p metals?" Raiyen eyes widened. Scarp metal?! Those pieces of 'sc.r.a.p metal' were able to obliterate the entire back yard of the Church. And to Z's eyes, the Kunais were essentially nothing? Raiyen was p.i.s.sed off. His eyes darkened as he sprung towards Z using Glitch. Despite all of the cuts that Z made, not one wound seemed to faze Raiyen as he faced off with the Lost Mage in malevolence.
