>>5148846Keli’s got this fight right now. You just need to keep Fu out of it. You chop at him with your left arm, with Fu blocking it, then once more go full power as you push him away from Keli and Basilea. Once the both of you are out of active combat you dash away. “Give them some space. You’re crowing.” you tell him with a cheeky grin.
He grins right back and rubs underneath his nostrils. “Heh, that’s fair enough. I gotta say, I’m really impressed with some of the skills you two have been showing.” He places his arms behind his neck casually. “Not that I’m too worried about losing, buuuut it’s fun seeing all the skills you’ve got.”
…Idea get. ‘Tell me, how much have you been able to pick up so far?’ you question him telepathically.
‘Oho! Well, the Time Patrollers had some fun skills. Still trying to figure out if Buula really was using a form of Time Manipulation…’
That gets you to raise an eyebrow. ‘Like Guldo?’
‘Yeah, yeah! I mean I guess it stands to reason her boss knows some techniques like that, but still impressive for her to pull it off. And then of course, there are what you and Keli have pulled off so far…’ He looks into the ring, and you watch as Keli tries to trip up Basilea, only for the demon girl to avoid it and get right up close, landing some heavy blows on her. Right as Keli attempts the lasso again, Basilea counters with the Devilmite Chains… which latch onto Keli’s arm tight, pulling it down and robbing her of its use. Crap.
‘So that IS Demonic Ki she’s using!’ Fu looks on giddily. ‘Hmhmhm!~ So she’s borrowing the Ki from a demon and combining it with her own, though it’s a surprise her body can handle such a thing.’ He looks like he’s about to jump back in, either to help Basilea or… interview Keli, you’re not sure.
‘You’re a smart guy, what’s your hypothesis on it?’ you inquire.
That gets him to stay in place, Fu looking up curiously. ‘Hmmm… doing such a thing would require substantial Ki control. She did just demonstrate Instant Transmission. Ooooh I get it now!’
