Φ As the boy runs towards us again he repeats the same move he tried on us before, so I scream, “BRACE,” And all my soldiers hunker down with spirit energy flowing through their shields.

  When the boy's attack hits it turns to ice like st time, so I scream “PUSH!” But as I do I feel something cold at my feet. Looking down I see some of the boy's snow had gotten under our shields then suddenly it all turns into ice spikes, which break our formation slightly.

  “HOLD YROUND!” I scream trying to get my soldiers ba formation, but in front of us the boy has made giant spikes of ice that are heading towards us, they are so big that they are breaking right out of the building.

  Seeing them e at me I try to fire a onball through my shield, but it is too te as the spikes hit us and pletely break our disrupted formation.

  Many of my men are sent flying back, I hunker down and scream, “STAND YROUND, MY SOLDIERS, VICTORY IS WITHIN REACH!”

  As I scream, I see all of the i front of me turn to snow then out of that snow the boy appears with a spear in hand. So, I infuse as much spirit energy into my shield as possible. “JUST TRY TO GET PAST ME!”

  Φ While running towards the man I believe to be their leader, Sequoia's words py in my head.

  “Orb you and Willow got injured again today!?”

  “It is because these spears are crap, they always snap against the beast's hide, if I had a stronger on like a sword or a Warhammer I wouldn’t have this issue.”

  Smming his hand against my head, Sequoia says, “YOU FOOL!” As I hold my head in Pain Sequoia says, “Listen Orb the spear is the stro on of all.”

  “You have clearly never seen a then.”

  “A spear pierce through anything, all you have to do is find one ot, everything has one, then the moment you do put all the force of your body into ohrust deep into that ot and watch as a foe who should never have been downed by you falls.”

  “Sounds like a bunch of nonsense.”

  desdingly Sequoia says, “Even with all that knowledge in y head, you’re still so immature.”

  “Say that again ylodyte!”

  With the man in my sights, I instantly look all over his shield for a ot, an imperfe in his defence I strike through. Right there where the hole for the opens up, it has the smallest armour.

  Griping my spear, I activate my lega it then with the full fory body I thrust into the shield and the moment my spear hits the shield I create ice to increase its power.

  All this allows me to pierce through the shield which causes it to break into pieces, then using the spear I pierce a hold in each of his legs while freezing the wound at the same time.

  I snowboost past the man, then in the middle of the staircase, right iween the archers and the rest of the soldiers I create a wave of id knock them all away.

  Oop of the staircase, I look down at all my defeated foes, and then Anto says, “I knew you were strong, but this is ridiculous.”

  “To be ho I took twice as long as I should have, if I used a spear sihe start, I wouldn’t have had this problem.”

  While twirling my spear in my hand, I say, “I haven’t used one of these in some time but I feel even more familiar with this than I ever did before.”

  In this moment of rexation, I hear lighting ing towards me from the door on top of the staircase, so I tighten up my body and dodge to the left. “It is just ohing after another.”

  Bursting out of the door is Easifatan, who screams, “Don’t worry fodder, I am here to save the day.” Looking down at all the defeated soldiers, Easifatan screams, “What the hell happened!!!!?”

  At this moment, I take my right leg and snowboost it so it hit him directly in the face, but he bends backwards causing my foot to miss him.

  “To surprise attack Easifatan the Great, YOU FOOL, DID YOU REALLY THINK YOU COULD HURT ME.”

  As my foot hangs over his head, I create an ice pilr downwards to hit him in the face. As he lies on the floor with his face bashed in, I say, “Don’t worry your still handsome,” as I start to walk away.

  Behind me I hear something moving incredibly quickly and dodging right through the door I see Easifatan has got up, and in both his hands he holds daggers that emit lighting. “I didn’t want to do this to a friend such as you, but whatever my king ands I must obey.”

  Easifatan runs at me and cshes with my spear breaking it in two, then one of his daggers es for my arm, so I jump bad activate my legay legs and arms. Looking at my arm I see a slight cut and I say, “My arm feels numb.”

  “That’s just a slight shock, you will sooimately familiar with it.”

  “Sorry, but I don’t have any more time to waste here.”

  “Be grateful that the Great Easifatan is even giving you any of his time!”

  The door took us to a long dark hallway, which is only lit up by my ging hair colour and Easifatan daggers. Through the hallway, I enter an exge with Easifatan, and I realize how strong he is. He is just as fast as all those nimble woman and whenever I am hit by him by body goes numb slightly, even when I csh head-on with my legacy.

  “What is that all you have!!! Now take my ultimate teique; Easifatan arts: suqut al'iida'a!” Then with incredible speed, he cuts up my body.

  Φ Throughout Orb’s body I cut him up, his back, triceps, biceps, hamstrings, chest, glutes, shoulder, calf, deltoids and numbing each muscle with every attack. With how sluggish he has gotten I am able to kick him iomach, which sends him sliding down the hallway close to the door we entered from.

  “I doubt you will be able to tier that flurry of attacks, so if you give up and decre me the victor, I will make sure your cell is nice.”

  Orb effortlessly gets ba his feet and then starts to jump in one pce, while saying, “The difficulty with fighting lots of people at once is trying not to kill a single one of them, but you see with one oppo like you it isn’t that hard.”

  As Orb finishes saying this I blink and a moment ter he is in front of me with his legacies cws ing towards my face. I immediately jump back barely dodging the attack, but Orb titag relentlessly, f me down the hallway.

  Orb jumps from wall to wall as he sends me down the hallway with precise strikes throughout my body, he strikes my back, triceps, biceps, hamstrings, chest, glutes, shoulder, calf aoids. Hitting me in my face, Orb says, “Look like we even, all that’s left is a kick.”

  The moments after I am hit in the face Orb kicks me directly iomach sendihrough the door at the end of the hallway and into the room, one of the military's break rooms.

  Φ As Easifatan files through the door I snowboost following him in, and before he d on his feet, I try to strike him midair, but to my left, I hear something ing at me, so I put up my left arm to blod am set flying away by the force.

  Getting knocked into some chair I quickly get up and say, “Anto are you ok?”

  “I am fine.”

  Looking for what attacked me; I see standing on a ptform Scheherazade wearing something simir to Easifatan with a thorny whip in her hand, it sort of reminds me of the Tahajalmud’s tail.

  Looking at Easifatan, Scheherazade says, “I guess you’re just talking!”

  Standing up eically, Easifatan says, “DON’T UIMATE THE GREAT EASIFATAN!”

  “Good to see,” she says with a smile.

  In that moment of rexation, I snowboost towards her, I o return this to a one-on-one as quickly as possible.

  Notig me Scheherazade swing her whip right at me, causio dodge while as I approach but it is a lot harder than it seems. Her whip is as hard to read as the nimble women’s swords, and with the elevation of the ptform she see me wherever.

  The clet to her the harder it is to dodge especially with Anto on my back. I simply o focus more and use my hearing to fish out where the end of the whip will hit.

  Fog I look for where the end of the whip will strike me and listen in for it, hearing it ing right for my I dodge, but the moment I do I notiething pierg me.

  Looking to my left arm I see that the body of the whip is toug it, and as Scheherazade says, “Gotcha!” She pulls the whip bad the thorny body of it rips away at my arm causing blood to flow out of it.

  Immediately I freeze the wound then I notice that her guard has dropped for a moment, so I snowboost towards her. I have gotten close enough that I should be able to at least knock the whip out of her hand.

  “HERE I E!”

  From my right Easifatan shoots lightning at me, so I create a wall of ice to block him, but the force sends me falling to the ground. The moment I nd Easifatan rushes me.

  He is a lot faster and more precise than before. “Sorry Orb, but now that my woman is watg I ’t lose!” He uses one dagger to aim for a vital spot which I have to block, then immediately he tries to strike another with the ger, so the moment I block the first one I move to block the sed and he just repeats this over and iving me no time to terattack.

  Creating a spike of i the ground I am able to get him to back off for a moment, but then he shoots lighting from his dagger at me, so I create ice to block it but am sent sliding back a little bit.

  But as I slide ba the floor, I hear the end of Scheherazade whip ing towards Anto. She is really aiming at him!? While I slide backwards, I turn my body around and take the blow instead of Anto and am sent flying way behind Easifatan.

  “Orb are you ok?”

  “I am for now, but I got to finish this up soon, and for that, I need your help.”

  Φ In front of me Easifatan says, “We should be careful, I saw earlier he made a bunch of giant ice spikes against the soldiers so he might be waiting for the best ce to use that against us.”

  “Not that isn’t it. Ahmed oold me that legacies aren’t infinite power, they simply draw from the spiritual powers of the other soul ihem. While it does take physical stamina to keep using the power, eventually that power will run dry and have to recharge. If we take into at all the ice he has created and how soaked in blood his clothes are, I would say both his legad his body are almost at their limit.”

  “So just a little more till he it out, now watch how the great Easifatan leads the charge!” he says as he runs away.

  “I guess I got to support that idiot.”

  Φ “That’s the pn Anto.”

  “Orb will your body hold out?”

  “Don’t worry about me, I barely felt those hits.” Seeing Easifatan running towards me I run to meet him.
