?444 Evasive Flash
"Man, the lot of you are annoying," Virala said as he observed the golden flashes. Suddenly, his body became heavy in certain spots in order, raising density at the spot by hundreds of times. The increase was so quick that his body tiled in the respective direction.
Virala stood in the same spot as before, but the Spirit Weapons uniformly missed him. Or rather, when the golden flashes approached him, shadows squirmed on his body. As a result, the Spirit Weapons phased through it.
Mystic Bone Art—Evasive Flash!
The centre of gravity of his body was at the hip. By raising the density at his right shoulder, he'd generate a torque with respect to his centre of gravity, as a result causing the respective point of the shoulder to tilt towards the ground.
From an external perspective, when facing him from the front, it might seem like his shoulder was pivoting around the point of centre of gravity, bending counter-clockwise. Now, when the density of the shoulder is increased sharply in an instant, the speed at which the body bends will also spike.
Now, after the shoulder, there's a point at the front of the chest that experiences the same increase in density. Once the body bends counter-clockwise, it tilts to the front. Following that, if the chin experiences the same, it will move towards the ground rapidly.
If suddenly, the upper body becomes weightless while the density of the ass increase, it will rush towards the ground. When this happens in order, Virala would be seen tilting to the side, following which he bends forward and somersaults.
By deciding on the course of his movement, Virala would crank up the density of spots on his body that aligned in the direction of his intended motion. As a result, the movement that would take him a second or two to perform would be performed in an instant. As long as he lightens his body at the moment of landing and absorbs the resultant shock, his movements will be perfect.
The Skill of Evasive Flash performed exactly that by ingeniously employing Internal Inertial Gravity. As a result, when the Spirit Weapons of the Brimgan Royals approached him, Virala observed the gaps between the Spirit Weapons and calculated their respective impact time on him.
Thereby, he made an instantaneous evasive manoeuvre where he swerved through the array of Spirit Weapons. To the eyes of anyone other than the Brimgan Royals who weren't trained to capture high-speed movements, it would seem like Virala's body flickered faintly once and the golden flashes simply phased through him.
"What?" The Fentan City Lord shouted in shock upon seeing what Virala had done, "How is that possible?"
"Impossible!"
"Are those movements something possible for a living being?"
'This guy…' Inala stared at Virala with a solemn gaze, 'He has been preparing a lot. Creating such a Skill isn't possible without the knowledge of an Empyrean Tusk.'
The movements done by Virala were something done all the time by Empyrean Tusks, but never at the speed displayed by him. Inala had observed the knowledge necessary to perform it in Gannala's mind space, but that was an Empyrean Tusk's inheritance, not something that Virala ought to know normally.
'He's making use of everything that he stole from the Empyrean Tusks.' By using the Nature Weapon of Leech, Virala absorbed the blood of all Empyrean Tusks. Alongside the blood, he also absorbed fragments of information contained in the Empyrean Tusks.
By taking advantage of it, Virala had created the Skill of Evasive Flash. The surprising thing was that this wasn't in Gannala's memories of him. Meaning, he managed to create it in the past couple of days.
'Something has happened in this short time that managed to inspire him enough.' Inala thought as he activated Mystic Skill Creator and harnessed all the data available in him, 'I'll make up a counter on the spot. You can't win against me in a battle of Skill!'
Five seconds passed in such a fashion as Virala continued to dodge the Spirit Weapons of the Brimgan Royals while preparing for his subsequent retaliation. He was charging up enough Prana to unleash an artillery strike.
"But first…" He said suddenly and kicked forth with his leg to tug on the string of Prana coiled around them, "You're an annoyance!"
"Keuk!" Inala grunted as he was pulled towards Virala when the latter tugged the two strings of Prana hard.
"Die!" Virala shouted as he clenched his hand into a fist, increased its density and hurled it straight into his face, intending to splatter it.
Minor Treasure—Tangible Psychokinesis!
Mystic Bone Art—Prana Blood!
Mystic Bone Art—Puppetry!
Inala deactivated the two strings of Prana coiled around Virala's legs. He sent two flying out from his back that seeped into the ground and latched deep inside while spreading out, grabbing as much soil as possible.
The Prana strings pulled him as he applied psychokinesis to pull out the entire piece of earth. The intense tug negated his momentum as he used Internal Inertial Gravity to absorb the inertial shocks resultant from his actions.
Boom!
Air gushed out from Virala's fist and stopped a couple centimetres before him. Had that come into contact, Inala's head would have been splattered. Well, since he was protecting himself with Internal Inertial Gravity, he would only feel as if he had been punched normally. But that would reveal the fact that he was Inala.
To avoid doing so, he spat out some blood to make it seem as if his internal organs were in a state of shock from the extreme action he did to protect himself.
"You're quick to react," Virala said upon seeing Inala stop right before his fist. He then punched forth with his other fist, surprised to see a string of Prana coil in the path of his fist to resemble a spring. As his fist met it, the spring compressed and sent Inala flying away, allowing him to evade his blow.
Once Inala was farther away, he sent four strings of Prana into the ground and used psychokinesis to stop slowly. He landed on the ground and wiped the blood off his mouth, chuckling as he began to walk towards Virala, "I now have a good grasp of your abilities."
"You won't be able to attack me anymore." As he spoke, one of his strings of Prana slapped a rock and sent it flying towards Fentan City Lord.
His four strings of Prana extended towards his back like wings to reach a length of 180 metres each. Following that, they took shape like a curved blade and began to coil around him. Like a spring, the coil tightened as Inala ran towards Virala.
"Quite the arrogant chap, aren't we?" Virala snorted as he felt like teasing the overconfident weakling that dared fight him despite the steep contrast in power between the two.
"Arrogant? On the contrary, it's confidence." Inala said and closed in on Virala when the coil came undone; the four strings of Prana spun like a rotor as their radius increased rapidly, lashing onto him with enough force that his exoskeleton armour came off.
After all, when the string of Prana slammed into the armour, psychokinesis was applied to pull it off. And as it was done after repeated impacts, pieces broke off and were carried by the strings of Prana.
Once the four strings of Prana uncoiled themselves and spread around to a length of 180 metres each, held in pieces throughout the length of each string were pieces of the exoskeleton armour.
"Is this still not confidence?" Inala smirked as he stared at the figure of Virala whose front half was stripped bare of the exoskeleton armour.
"You…" Virala intended to retort when he noticed that his chest felt lightless for some reason. His face paled as he observed that held at the end of two strings of Prana were his Nature Weapons of Leech and Tunnel.
Only then did he realise something odd, 'I might be arrogant, but why did I feel the need to entertain him all along? It's as if he knew how to feed my ego and reeled me in perfectly!'
Virala unleashed a stream of Prana and sensed through Inala's presence that he only had one Nature, 'He's definitely not Inala, since he only has one Nature. Then, who the fuck is he?'
"Who are you? Stop! You fucker! STOP!" Virala roared in a fluster upon seeing Inala flee after pocketing the Nature Weapons of Leech and Tunnel.
