>>5303903As you use Multi-Form to grab some popcorn and a drink, you ask Piccolo, “Ssssso… quick question, you think Nox can copy Zarid’s… ‘God Bind’ technique thing?”
He thinks for a moment, then shakes his head. “No. While a Majin, I don’t think he has the same kind of Ki that Zarid is using.”
“It is why he is so thrilled for this kind of fight.” Mugen declares with a smug voice, approaching you all. “He will grow stronger in learning how to handle something he cannot copy. A battle that truly tests him.”
https://youtu.be/DSfxNPX5VaYYou give him a side-eye, but return focus to the fight, your copy handing you popcorn and water. Just gotta put your trust in them. As Zarid continues to attack, you notice that his power’s actually steadily increasing. Nox is amused by this, even allowing a couple of the hits to land… to little to no effect. He crosses his arms and his body starts to spark with energy… ah crap, that’s Maple’s electric barrier. Completely confident in his power, he lets it out and baits Zarid into one more attack. Zarid seems to do just that… but instead of striking him, he seems to somehow manipulate the Lightning Magic that he’s letting out, “grabbing” it in a way that allows him to gather it around his hands and mixing it with his own Ki, pumping in as much as he can.
Zarid smirks. “RAGING…!” He then slams his hands on the ground, letting out all this charged up energy. “STOOOOORM!” Nox wasn’t quite expecting a trick like that, and as energy erupts underneath him, he’s launched high into the air! “SACHIE, NOW!”
“HRRRAAAAAHH!” she roars out as she taps into Udon’s power once more, leaping upward at the same time as Zarid. “THIS IS OUR POWER…!” she begins, getting up above Nox.
“GOD AND DEMON…!” Zarid continues, his aura surging around him.
“FULL POWER KIIIIIIICK!” they yell in unison, kicking Nox in the gut and rocketing back down to Earth! But… they’re not aiming for the ring! They’re going for ring-out!
Nox realizes this too, and places two fingers on his forehead. Ledgic then jumps into the ring, and Nox teleports right above him with Sachie and Zarid. Ledgic gets out of the way at the last minute, but Nox still is kicked into the floor, cratering it and shaking the entire area. And… that actually did some real damage to Nox! You pump your fist in the air, cheering.
