"There." Dezzi said as they finished bandaging Noirs arm, filling the wound with a fast acting sealant "It cut all the way down to the Marrow Noir…" Jeanne grimmaced
"Yeah…I couldn't even see it…And I could see the sand beforehand too…But that thing…It was like a bullet when I was a child…" He thought back to a day on the rose arbor…How someone came in with a flintlock pistol…That small narrow bronze barrel. Only able to see a flash and a streak
Ducasse how ever literally snatched it out of the air
Noir rolled his shoulder as he cracked his neck. They were inside the raised building that stood on stilts. It smelt like dank sea water. Due to not only the unwashed aura and musk of Zymen and Sir, but from the Seaborn constitution of their Corruption
There was loose furniture and boxes of rations around the floor. But one thing piqued the interest of Noir.
It was a map of Hard Rock.
"Damn…This place is big." Jeanne said, holding the strap of her rifle. "Does that say…38km?" She said leaning forward and looking at the rose that said the length of the Island
"38 long, and 42 wide…" He looked close "Seems like the points on this map are enlarged though. That fountain was not that big." Noir said pointed to the 1km lake that looked like it actually took up 10 if the scale of the map was to be believed (It shouldn't)
"That must be where Leroy went." Dezzi dragged a finger up the map to the north point where the Volcano sat.
"And here's where Kale went…" Jeanne dragged a finger to the west. "And we're obviously here" Noir pointed on to the Valley which looked far larger than it actually was.
"But…Whats that?" Dezzi said. Usually they'd have to hop, but they were currently taller than both Jeanne (6'2) and Noir (5'9). "I don't know…Looks like some sort of– Factory." Jeanne pipped in
"Well…We might as well head there and take out whatever's there. Since I can guarantee that Leroys Group and Calli's Group are north as well. And we said we'll eventually meet back here." Noir tapped the skull that sat in front of the Mountain
"Well…" Jeanne stretched her arms above her "Best not keep whoever's there ready. I'll be more than willing to Kick the asses of whoevers there"
"Yeah! Lets kick their butts!" Dezzi said with a pump of their fist "You can say ass. Aren't you like 19."
"Yes and Yes, but I don't want to!" They said with a coy look
Kale was in the literal heat of combat as two magma lions game bounding towards him! Each foot fall of the beast embedding molten footprints into the checkered floor! The Shouts and Cheers of the Spectators continued!
"Hmph! Nitoryu Iai!" He adjusted his sheathes, sliding Jaeger and Kikumori to rest on one hip each. "Suzakumon!" The swordsman unsheathed his blades, holding them in reverse grip and lunged forward and flared the blades out! Causing the Magma Lions to be sliced in two!
Constructs made from Logia Elements only last for so long, relying on the Structural integrity given that the quick creation from the users give the creations 'instincts' (More accurately the users subconscious manipulating them in the way they wish) and this is cut short when integrity is disrupted
As for the swordsman's grip…His teachers would grimace at the sight of handling a sword in such an Unwieldy way– If in any other circumstance and if he wasn't superhuman. Such attributes allow that to be overcome to an extent (Although strength could never overcome the more ridiculous ways one may wield a weapon given that each has its own positives that should be utilized)
"Don't think just cuz they're done, they're out!" Caldera clawed his hand and ripped it through the air, controlling the pools over magma to form up above Kale in a giant sphere, beginning to morph and shift into the a whirlpool!
"Magma Maelstrom!" He shoved his hands down! Forcing with supernatural speed the Magma to rain down!
Kale grit his teeth hard, if he didn't move or do somethin, he was done for! His skin was tough like noirs, but neither of them could handle the heat of Magma!
"Santoryu! Enji Futo-Maki!" He spun around at tremendous speeds, his blades working like a turbine to create a giant whirlwind that was imbued with the Nullifying properties of Jaeger!
The Twister formed around the First Mate and shot up into the air! Flames extrating the heat from the magma as the air cooled and exploded it apart in to nothing but dribbling magma drops!
The twister however wasn't finished, it continued up and shot out of the top of the Drome! Exploding the dome with a whole 30 meters wide!
Kales feet patered against the footsteps as his glare hardened on the Enemy First Mate… His arms were made entirely of magma. Bubbling and dripping but not all parts detaching and splashing onto the ground.
The Silence that followed was thick and palpable. The sound of the magma hising and popping the only thing that was audible in and around the arena. All the spectators patiently awaited what was going to come next!
But like the drop of a hat, the two rushed towards each other at tremendous speed! Kale leaping forward in a dash as Caldera sprinted forward! Arms morphing into the shapes of a large fist!
"Burnin' Mitt!" A large right hook came for Kale, the swordsman reacted quickly, he had to stay on the Defensive Offense, dashing back out of the way and slicing the magma in half at the middle of the forearm!
"Molten Hammer!" His arm bent limply as he raised it up into the air, almost like a wet noodle or limp piece of clay, the end forming into a block to smash forward!
"Oh shit!" It was a blur! Leaping backwards! "Haff Haff…" Kale panted as the hammer exploded into the ground and splashing magma all around! Cracking the ground as the drops of molten rock burnt into his body! "Ergh!"
"Santoryu! 108 Caliber Daytime Tiger!" He whips both of his arms forward! Greeting a tunnel of wind, and then whipping his neck with immense strength to send another gust to add another fold of strength to it!
Caldera was pushed backwards! Magma cutting off of him prevented wounds from forming but still draining his energy.
He came to a sudden stop as he generate force with a magma arm to wipe the Air out of the way!
His face was full of rage as he slammed his feet into the ground, readying himself as he clenched his hands into claws and began to raise his hands slowly up into the air! The entire ground rumbling!
