Chapter 284: X-Ace Clash (Part 2)

"<Descent>, <Enrage>," I swiftly chanted as the countdown ended, streaks of black and purple energy erupting around me as I tranformed.The purple energy swirled around me violently, before steadily settling, as wings and a tail burst out of my back, horns extending out of my head.

I spread out my wings and shot up into the air, firing a couple of rapid Negative Energy blasts down towards Jaden, as he activated his Telekinetic Shroud Spell, a shimmering cloak of telekinesis enveloping his entire body.

He stepped forward and whipped his right arm across, unleashing a sharp burst of telekinesis and blowing my attacks away, before raising his right hand towards me as I drew out Desecrator and swooped down towards him...

"[Telekinetic Push]," He chanted, a powerful pushing force hitting my forearms as I quickly crossed my arms in front of myself defensively, forcing me to come to a halt as the force of the attack knocked me off-balance, before he chanted again, "[Telekinetic Pull]!"

I found myself getting drawn down towards him as I got snared by an intense pulling force, before swiftly manifesting Drain and expanding the jaws in front of myself, consuming the flow of Mana fuelling his Telekinetic Pull Spell.

I shot down towards him while keeping Drain in front of myself, before swinging my blade down at the top of his head as I closed in.

He swiftly sprang back, unleashing a burst of telekinesis to launch himself out of the reach of my blade, his eyes widening in alarm as I snapped open my jaws and fired out a rapid, drilling beam of Negative Energy towards him.

I swung his left arm out and fired out a pressurized telekinetic blast, shooting himself across to the right, grimacing as my beam grazed his left elbow, before he flew up into the air as I chased after him, extending out several tendrils of Negative Energy.

He unleashed intense bursts of telekinesis to blow away my tendrils as they shot towards him, weaving through the air with sudden, sharp bursts of speed as he used his telekinesis to propel himself around, staying just out of my reach.

Suddenly, he twisted his body across and blasted himself straight towards me, unleashing an intense telekinetic shockwave as he closed in on me.

Drain managed to consume most of the force shooting towards me, but his attack was still able to knock me slightly off-balance, before he shot up above Drain and fired a telekinetic slash at my head.

I quickly raised the jaws of Drain, narrowly swallowing up the attack, before he veered down and struck my stomach with a powerful telekinetic blast, sending me hurtling back through the air, before a barrage of piercing telekinetic projectiles came shooting towards me.

"<Void>," I chanted, generating a black hole in front of myself, his projectiles getting drawn into it as the dark sphere exerted a powerful gravitational force.

As the black hole swallowed up his barrage, I deactivated it and fired out pressurized, shredding bursts of Negative Energy towards him, a few cuts appearing across his right arm as he shot across the air to the left, narrowly avoiding any direct hits.

A rapidly intensifying shimmer surrounded him as I shot towards him, before I expanded Drain in front of myself as a devastating, piercing shockwave erupted around him, the same attack he’d used to blast me full of holes yesterday.

I managed to avoid any damage as Drain consumed the part of the shockwave shooting towards me, before I quickly turned my gaze up as a shadow fell over me, right as a powerful telekinetic blast slammed onto my arms as I just barely raised them up in time.

I plummeted down towards the ground with immense speed, a crash ringing out as my back slammed onto the floor of the arena, rattling my bones, my vision blurring as cracks spread out across the floor around me.

I fired out a burst of Negative Energy to my left to push myself across to the right as Jaden came swooping down towards me, a deafening crash echoing out as his feet slammed onto the arena with an intense telekinetic eruption upon impact.

The cracks on the floor widened and deepened from the force of his strike, before I sprang back onto my feet and expanded the jaws of Drain over my chest as he fired out a piercing telekinetic beam at me, swallowing it up before a powerful force suddenly struck my shins, knocking me off-balance.

As I fell forward, I kept from hitting the ground with a swift flap of my wings, before zipping up into the air as a slicing burst of telekinesis came shooting towards me, narrowly evading it before turning my gaze forward as Jaden launched himself towards me, firing out a barrage of telekinetic blasts.

I swallowed up the blasts with Drain, before letting myself drop as he veered up above me, firing out a Negative Energy blast as he simultaneously unleashed a burst of telekinesis down towards me, our attacks colliding and erupting upon impact as they canceled each other out, before he came plummeting down towards, an intense shimmer around his feet as he drove them down towards the middle of my torso.

At the last split-second as he closed in on me, I twisted my body sharply and spun across the air, his feet grazing my left bicep as I swerved across to his left, spreading out my wings to stabilize myself before unleashing a fierce blast of Negative Energy as he simultaneously fired off a pressurized burst of telekinesis.

My head jerked back as his attack struck the middle of my face, breaking my nose as my blast simultaneously collided against his left side and sent him hurtling across to his right.

He canceled out the momentum with a powerful telekinetic blast, bringing himself to a halt and clutching his side gingerly as I wiped away the blood streaming down from my nose with my sleeve, the pain promptly fading as I healed.

"I’d say that was a pretty good warm-up, wouldn’t you? Now, let’s really get into it," He grinned, as he cracked his knuckles.

"Agreed," I replied, before generating dozens of Negative Energy blades all around me...
