Jericho The Game God

(back 3rd person)

When Ariock saw the magic circle appear he knew it was time to act quickly before she succeeded in what ever she's casting.

With blue lightning trailing behind him and a newly created crater where he was previously he sped forwards at  speeds that most couldn't even hope to pick up on.

In an millisecond he was in front of her rearing his fist back for a devastating blow to the head one that could tear it straight off. Sending his fist forward he was a single cm away from ending the fight when he felt a massive force impact his stomach making him reel back in pain before something exploded sending him flying backwards.

As he was flying backwards a deep gash of destruction followed making the ground look as if it had sustained the damage of an earthquake.

Composing himself Ariock stopped himself from going further and glared at his opposition.

"I'll admit that was pretty good. Using that magic circle as a faint while you prepared your real spell. I honestly didn't see that coming. Consider me immpresd." Ariock said genuinely.

Kumo just smiled and opens one of her many hands and summoned a swirling red ball of RE that had the occasional streak of energy fly off of it.

"However it won't work twice Kumo." he said with a straight face before teloporting in front of her with a Ra-I mean a similar ball of energy made with lightning instead of RE.

But Kumo didn't flinch  instead she smiled widely as all eight arms shot forwards each holding a ball of RE in their palms.

When these two forces met flashes of blue and red danced along the floor.

Both forces were equal which astonished both Kumo and Ariock for different reasons.

Kumo because the amount of power behind these orbs individually is equal to Mid S rank mages reserves of magic, but with all eight? Easily mid-High SS rank.

Ariock because even with his massive restrictions his power is still very high and can be considered High SS rank for magic reserves alone, so for this Kumo to be able to stand on equal grounds with him surprised and excited him.

Back to the magic struggle.

As the seconds ticked on Kumo began to sweat, these orbs of RE weren't supposed to last this long so it was taking a toll on her magic bank, also she was steadily losing control of herself to the side effects of using RE.

Meanwhile Ariock was facing a different dilemma. While he was also sweating because of the struggle it wasn't because of magic exhaustion, quite the opposite in fact. If he continued for to long he risked pulsating too much of his magic power which could garner the attention of high beings, something he had no intention of doing.

Looking at each other both Kumo and Ariock had a silent agreement to stop there magic struggle. The blue ball of lightning slowly receded into Ariock while the same happened to Kumo.

After getting rid of there individual spells they stared at each other silently.

Kumo was the first to talk.

"Who... No what are you exactly? Your clearly not a normal human your reptilian eye gives that away. So what are you?"

Ariock laughed quietly before answering with some bullshit.

"Honestly...I have no idea. When my God gave me this eye it gave me unbelievable potential. However it also took something from me, the ability to remain fully human. I don't know what I'd be considered. A Demi-god? Possibly A monster? Also possible." Ariock said with a small sigh.

Kumo looked at Ariock with pity as attempted to speak only for Ariock to stop her.

"Do not pity me. I chose this path so I have no choice but to embraced it. Now ready your weapon because I'm coming." He said in a tone that said no more questions.

Nodding Kumo changed the topic.

"you know for as much as it pains me to  say I can't beat you with magic. Anything I throw at you would be countererd almost instantly." Kumo said with an irritated frown before closing her eyes and focusing.

Massive amounts of RE inveloped Kumo creating a spectacular flash of light that temporarily blinded Ariock.

When the light began to lessen Ariock couldn't help but gawk at the transformation Kumo went through.

Kumo's hair transformed into a pitch black color with red tips and a single dark grey streak on the left side of her head.

Black viens that rapidly pulsated covered a majority of Kumo's body.

Her body took on a more masculine look with bulging muscular arms, strong powerful legs, and an eight pack that showed through her clothing.

But the most unnerving change were her eyes.

Gone were her soul perceing radiant blue eyes, in there place red, bloodthirsty, and crazed ones that made Ariock shiver.

The true fight was about to begin.
