Okay! Not as bad a delay today! We're back!
>>5360770‘Pantea, combo, then switch! Let’s do some real damage before you get yourself a proper breather.’ you tell her telepathically.
‘Okay, I’ll get you an opening.’ She takes a defensive stance, and immediately Nox is on the offensive. With a snap of his fingers, a blast of fire explodes around where she was standing. Pantea dodges it, yet Nox isn’t done. He snaps the fingers in his other hand, and this time, Lightning bolts down in a chain towards her.
Maybe you can keep talking with him, try to give her that opening… ‘Nox, what did you mean by it being difficult to fight the Planet Eater in your ‘current state’? Mugen didn’t seem like the type to limit your power, no restraining bolts or the like…’
‘Oh no, no no no, nothing of the sort. I merely acknowledge the power of the one who devoured worlds. His Magics and power at his peak would eclipse what I am capable of even now.’
‘Ohhhh, I getcha, I getcha. Yeah that makes a bit more sense. Say, you’re a lot more approachable than you’ve really seemed when this all started. Wanna trade emails or somethin’? Mine’s
[email protected]!’
‘Perhaps, once this is over, and I have grown stronger, I can agree to that.’ Nox grins manically. ‘But only then. I am here to grow! The more I see, the more I fight, the stronger I become! The more I can IMPROVISE!’ Nox crosses his arms, then yells out “PLASMA CASCADE!”
Snapping fingers on both hands, a surging mixture of Fire and Lightning erupts down on the whole arena. It’s almost like he brought a star down to Earth with how brightly it’s shining, to say nothing of the heat… yet thanks to your little break in his concentration, Pantea’s been able to avoid the attack! And using her Spirit Bits, she’s constructed a barrier that tunnels through the star, right to Nox!
‘All yours, Izzy!’
Your emerald aura erupts around your body as you fly in there at full force! “Cool Magic combo! I’ve got some of my own!” Light and Shadow build up in your hands. “HELL! AND! HEAVEN!” You bring them together as you reach Nox, creating a swirling, chaotic vortex of energy and Magic that you slam into him!
…Or at least that’s what you thought you’d be doing. You watch as your attack is stopped… and ABSORBED. CRAP. Nox holds his hand out, chuckling to himself. “That most certainly is a combination worth taking. I can feel the raw power it’s letting off!” He continues to absorb its power into himself. “The android girl was certainly a surprise, it took some time for me to properly adapt an innate function like her energy absorption ability, but looking into it has certainly paid off!” The inferno around you fades as Nox powers up further, the sheer force of it pushing you back, with you hitting the floor hard.
