Speed Is King

408 Strange Smile

Elliot's clone didn't even blink as the red robed samurai swung his blood red katana towards him.

B A N G ! ! ! !

The katana smashed onto an invisible barrier with the strength of a thousand meteors and released a massive shockwave that turned nearby asteroids to dust!!

"What? What is that strange barrier?" The red robed Blytoros frowned and quickly sprang back to study the situation.

There was no need to try again, he had unleashed his most powerful slash and the barrier barely moved in response.

"What are you? How could you resist my attack?" The red robed Blytoros demanded and pointed his blood red katana at Elliot's 2nd clone.

"I could ask you the same thing myself." Elliot's 2nd clone laughed and raised his right arm horizontally.

A blistering red flaming sword burst into life in his hand and he exploded forward to attack the red robed Blytoros!

Slash!!

His flaming sword swung horizontally forward with even greater force than the red robed Blytoros' earlier attack!

CLANG!

The red robed Blytoros blocked Elliot's attack easily.

"Hmph! This level of a-"

CLANG!!!

Before the red robed Blytoros could say anything, another powerful slash had descended upon him and he was forced to cut short his words to block Elliot's powerful attack.

CLANG!! CLANGG!!

CLAAL-CLA-CL-CL-C-C-C-CLANG!!!

Faster and faster his attacks came until the sound of the red robes Blytoros' blocks were combined into one long CLAAAANG!!

"Very good! You're quite strong. But try this!" Elliot's clone shouted as he activated his "offensive" center.

KABOOM!!!!! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

Fire-heavy Cosmic Dragon Energy exploded all over the red-robed Blytoros' body, drenching him completely in molten fire!

Elliot's insanely powerful offensive and defensive centers allowed him to remain impervious to the red robed Blytoros attack while at the same time pressuring him completely with a barrage of explosive attack, even without moving a single muscle.

But add to it his own ferocious flaming sword attacks, combined with his movement center, Elliot's clone was a fearsome and unstoppable force!

Slash! Slash!!

Elliot's clone was finally able to land two slashes on the red robed Blytoros body, causing two massive gashes to appear on his chest.

"Excellent footwork. Excellent swordplay. You will make a great addition to my growth! Come join me!!" The red robed Blytoros finally smiled sinisterly before exploding into thousands of blobs.

Each blob was able to move independently, and all of them surged towards Elliot's clone at different speeds and directions!

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

Elliot's offensive centers immediately went to work and ripped hundreds of those blobs into pieces. However, those blobs were extremely resilient, and the pieces soon recombined and reformed into their original shapes!

They burst past the energy explosions wrought by Elliot's offensive centers and dove straight towards Elliot's body!

BAM BAM BAM!!

The blobs found their paths physically blocked by a powerful invisible barrier. Elliot's automatic defensive center!

However…

WSHHHH!!! WSHHHH!!

The blobs started to emit highly corrosive energy which reacted with Elliot's automatic defensive barrier.

Crack!!

The huge number of blobs soon managed to create a huge crack on Elliot's automatic defensive center!

"We can't let it consume your clone! You need to do something!" Jessica Sands cried out nervously.

"Don't worry. My defenses aren't so easily breached by mere blobs of pus." Elliot said confidently.

True enough, as soon as the blobs manage to destroy the defensive layer…

BAM! BAM!

They crashed into another defensive layer!

Elliot's clone grinned smugly, blinked a short distance away, and completely reset his defensive barriers!

"You will never break my defenses. You don't have enough strength to do that yet. However I, on the other hand, simply need to figure out a way to deal with all these disgusting blobs!" Elliot's clone said with a confident laugh.

He pointed at the blobs which were rapidly reforming into the red robed samurai and caused a fearsome wave of Cosmic Dragon Energy to bludgeon into it like so many sledgehammers from every single direction!

Wham! Wham! Wham!

"If slicing you apart by fiery explosions doesn't work, then maybe smashing you into fine paste might work!" Elliot's clone said.

However, under the powerful smashes of Cosmic Dragon Energy, the blobs merely rejoined together into the red-robed samurai at a much faster rate!

"Enough!!" The half formed red robed samurai roared through his half formed mouth.

Wham! Wham!!

Wave after wave of Cosmic Dragon Energy in their purest form slammed onto its body relentlessly like so many thousands of punches.

Graaaaaaahhhhhhh!!!!

The red robed samurai roared in anger and ignited the core of his strength in an attempt to gain some breathing space so that his blobs could rejoin properly into his samurai shape and regain his ability to fight properly!

BLAM! BLAM! BLAM!

His Wild Energy collided powerfully with Elliot's Cosmic Dragon Energy, and for a split second, he was free from attacks!

He immediately grabbed hold of that opportunity to reform into his red robed samurai form and then charged at Elliot to do battle with him once more.

But for some reason, Elliot's clone dismissed his fiery sword and folded his arms casually as he stood unmoving in front of the red robed samurai.

His lips were curled into a strange smile.

"You have given me enough trouble for one day. Take this slash of mine, and rest in pieces! Kizushi Slash!!" The red robed samurai howled as his katana swung towards Elliot in a mighty slash.

Swirls of Wild Energy appeared around his katana and gave it a completely unblockable edge that seemed like it could cut through anything.

His red eyes started to glow fiercely and an electrifying surge of energy appeared throughout his body and rushed into his sword.

"Everything this sword touches will be obliterated into nothing. It would be as though they never existed.

Not even your damned barriers would be able to resist. I will kill you and absorb your remains." Wild Energy Blytoros said sinisterly.

Wild Energy Blytoros was giving his all into that particular sword strike!

But the strange smile on Elliot's face only grew wider as Wild Energy Blytoros got closer and closer.
