Wood and Ice
826 Words
Kai raised his hand, trying to summon lightning. But the angel was not going to let him get the opportunity.
A trident, made of light, appeared and shot at him.
A single stomp, and a huge ice wall formed in front of him. He was fighting in a more limited area, as there wasn’t a lot of materials here to use.
But that did not matter.
The angel summoned two more tridents and started to shoot continuous beams of lights to take down the wall.
It was, indeed, quite a large wall.
Kai saw the beams at the sides, slowly carving up the wall, and the moment he moved his eyes from the wall to the beams, the angel appeared in front of him.
It can teleport; was the next thought that occurred to him.
Of course it could, it was a divine being. Ignoring the laws of space and time was nothing to it. This was, unlike the first angel, a real threat.
He stopped trying to summon lightning and braced himself.
The angel used one of its tridents and swung.
The force was so strong, Kai was sent back, but his feet never left the floor. Parts of his clothing dropped to the floor, sliced by the trident.
It only revealed arms made of iron.
He had changed the composition of his arms to protect himself from the damage. It quickly reverted into its original state.
He breathed out; the chilly atmosphere was not cold enough to hide the small amount of flames spreading from his breath.
The angel looked at him like nothing had happened and summoned more tridents.
“Jimi, you are going to take the lead on this one. We are going to play something a little more metal” Kai told his ego.
After telling someone else to play drums, he was pretty much ready. This time, he was more serious than with the previous angel.
He had to show off to the newbies.
And whenever he got serious, some heavy rock was the perfect soundtrack.
The angel did not wait for him patiently, it continued to attack.
Kai quickly stepped to the side and made a hand motion towards the angel.
A huge spike of ice was summoned, which the angel barely managed to dodge. Kai did not give it even a second to rest.
Suddenly, an ice javelin was thrown towards the angel, towards the direction it had dodge. It passed its head by a few inches, and that moment, spikes came out and chipped at the angel’s face.
A bit of black blood came out of the side of its face.
“So, you can’t instantly teleport. I guess even divine beings have limitations” said Kai.
The angel just attacked again. This time, all the tridents shot at him.
Kai made another ice wall, but it was instantly destroyed.
He backed away into a tree.
The moment he felt it, the tree began to grow. The roots of the red tree went crazy, attacking the angel indiscriminately. The angel started to use one of its tridents defensively, with a spinning motion chopping the roots that attacked.
Kai was still dodging, using his ice powers to cover for him when possible.
“Okay, I think this is good enough,” he told himself.
And suddenly, a bunch of ice spikes began to come out of the ground towards the angel.
He raised his hand, and a bunch of clouds gathered. The angel would be too busy with the ice spikes to notice what he was doing.
Or so he thought, as it again teleported in front of him. This time, however, it attacked with five tridents to different parts of his body.
Seems like I win this time.
The angel took a second to notice that all the tridents had been stopped.
He had sprouted three more arms and had grabbed all the tridents with those hands. He started to feel an incredible amount of heat coming from them and turned the palm of his many hands to iron.
He took in a deep breath, and released fire from his mouth, just like a flamethrower.
All of it directly towards the angel.
After a few minutes, he stopped. He ran out of breath. The moment he stopped, a fist hit him directly in the face. This was the first time an angel had ever, in all the time he had lived and fought, that he found an angel that had actually known how to hit.
But he did not loosen his grip, nor did he even get moved back. It hit him hard enough to make him face the side.
He slowly, pridefully, turned to look at the angel and smiled.
His eyes had a crazy look to them. The look of a gambler that had just left another person completely broke. The look of madness.
“This is where the fun begins,” Kai told it.
