Chapter-4 bones and all
—————————————————
Six minutes of what feels like hell, Theodore fighting through waves upon waves of bones relentlessly pursuing him, each bone extends outward sharper then any blade or weapon he's dealt with up until this point.
Jumping in between the waves of endless bones, Theodore activates "roko ribs" instantly, an eruption underneath himself and the nightlight master, multicolored flames covering large rib chunks protruding outward around him.
Rokos flames burn through the bones continuously, as they try to reform under the pressure of thedore's immense heat, not letting the distance widen any further; Theodore digs his heels into the ground, putting as much raw physical strength behind his legs, he can then combines it with burst flow for an added boost to his movements. In a split second, thedore sends out his skeletal armed hand forward palm extend towards nightlight.
"Flame cluster impact." Few meters in the distance in front of Theodore, nightlight master sensing the oncoming hollow energy output dashes backwards, aiming to manifest another bone tomb to entrap the silver sage then kill him after.
However, before it can gain major distance between itself, almost immediately after Theodore out his hand out the nightlight heard another set of words muttered under his breath: "cease." A second later, the master body rapidly tenses then is freezes up as if it was just struck with deepest pits of fear.
Futhermore, due to the nightlight freezing up and being caught by a compulsion word, streams of beautiful white flames spark dance from his hands then releases, the attack the monarch thought it avoided was now reering back.
BOOM !!!
An explosion echoes in room, nightlight master retreats back giving itself distance, Theodore noticed the nature the of creature's action switch to more defensive and can now tell based upon natural intuition & use of his sage eyes sensing not just the hollow energy presence, but also the nightlight master life force and how fast creature reacted, he knew it was realizing the amount damage had ticked on throughout the battle and was now trying to escape.
Five minutes left, Theodore pressed his foot forward where the nightlight master was running to, he realized that it was to get the corpes of fledglings & brutes to help with boosting his restoration output.
"Crumble." An immense amount of pain is then struck onto master, its body experiencing pain like no other, its muscle rapidly tensing up then bulging slighty because of the bursts of pain it feels trying to heal.
Moving at blurred speeds, Theodore using burst flow and his own raw movement he Speeds up thousands of times greater than speed of lightning itself, creating multiple sonic booms
after every burst flow boost at use.
thedore appears in a white flaming light out of the air next to nightlight master, the color of silver envelops the room, then immediately swirls and covers back all of Theodore body, his large skeletal fist swinging into a downward arc, aimed towards not the nightlight master, but, the very ground itself underneath it.
The heavy punch makes contact, onto the ground bursting opened in a sea of multicolored flames, wrapped around him are small contained explosions of hollow energy silver-sage that he uses for added increase to his overall output.
On the other end, nightlight master now recovered back with some of its strength, turns back to Theodore, the pure white in its eyes staring hungrily at the sage.
Raising up its bone rapier coated immense amounts of the creature hollow energy and with swift movement plunges the blade into ground, then twisting its hilt slightly, activates an occurrence.
"Bone tomb of eternal fangs." Nightlight master protrudes countless amounts of bones infused with its own hollow Energy making them even more durable to break and stronger in attacking including the range they can extend upwards of 4 kilometers. Due to room they've battled in being equal in size to a cityscape, nightlight could very easily reach him.
A scene appears in thedore mind, he sees the bones piercing into his body, expanding then tearing him from inside out splitting his body in half, two seconds before the occurrence can fully activate, thedore acitvated "roko ribs" creating a dome of flaming mixed colors, the massive bone ribs of roko protrude outward and covers up any blind spots.
His eyes focused solely now on diamond shaped marked he placed earlier onto creature, 'this looks like it's gonna hurt' from ground upwards to the area around him, everything is covered in sharp bones that are continually forming & reshaping their thickness and width.
However, the flames of silver sage are able to match the bone tomb output although its still slightly over his currently; rainbow-like flames clash with countless bones shooting from nightlight masters body at an alarming speed.
Both sides of city wide battle room are now locked into storm of endless flames & everforming bones that grow in strength. Neither side is letting up their assault of attacks, in fact they both seem to be putting in crazy amounts of hollow energy to point that it's spreading farther out then just the one room—beginning to swirl around area and covering up the entire black star-ship in their hollow energy residuels.
Three minutes left, Theodore noticing the time speeds up the process of moving inch by inch closer to nightlight master, the entire he's had roko ribs activated he's slowly been moving through sea of flames covering him and the bones trying cut & tear into his body, he's taken the initial brunt of damage and used that idea to deep into masters head, essential focusing on just thedore and not the surroundings, but because of that,
he has now set his trap up perfectly.
Step by step, the creature moves back not realizing what is to come next, then feels eerie presence, quickly turning its body behind it to look and see what, and what it saw almost made it jump back, immediately it swings its mighty blade with foward horizontal motioned slash.
The swing cuts through Theodore that appeared behind it, nightlight master watches body topple over, thinking it all over and it's defeated the silver sage.
Until.. the pressure of death is felt, behind the nightlight master it feels a hand press against its chest a warm one infact and yet while attempting to move everything freezes up again like earlier.
A moment later, the body it thought it destroyed disappearing sparks of lambda, while Theodore still marching foward says in a quiet tone: "lambda type: deception." Shortly after Theodore reaches the creature again face to face.
"Cease." Nightlight body stiffness up again and loses all movement for the moment, Theodore mere meters away from monarch class entity, oustretched his white flamed skeletal wrapped securely on his right arm, while his left hand one of the fingers was still temporarily burned off.
thedore in a flat indifferent tone of voice: "thank you for gifting me the experiencing of feeling deadly fight and learning as a grew throughout it, now let me repay that kindness back tenfold." Arm still aimed at its face, his fingers fold into a forward flicking motion, "White sun." The orb of star condensed into palm of his hands and covered in multiple layers of hollow energy infused heat.
BOOM!!
In a single finger flick, Theodore obliterates the head of nightlight creature, his white flames seeping into the body of creature and burning it from the inside out, fissures of flames appeared all over its body and soon
after its flesh boiled & blackened.
The body stood motionless losing all signs of life and luster. And as quickly as this battle hand begun, it now was finally over and Thedore was winner of this fight. Despite how it seemed he was constantly pushed to try new things while maintaining his positioning in the fight.
This was strongest opponent he had up until this point, coming to deep realization that his battles were only going to get much harder and even more intense.
The final minute passed, diamond shape marking that burned onto the monarch bodies dissipates then appears back on Theodore, sending a rush of immense power back into his body, a deep burning heat swirling throughout himself, this was sign of that he's now acquired nightlight masters trigger abilty of bone control.
Thedore looks down at the body, dissipating all his abilties and absorbing up any left over flames seeping them deeply back into his body, while also using restoration to recover the damage he's been dealt & his burned off finger.
Slowly walking away he hears the sound of foot step and then black door open in front of him, a stream of darkness radiates across the entire city size room sending out black tendrils that absorbs up all the damage, leaving no trace, a methodical voice appears saying: " congratulations my son, you've done well in proving your capabilities of warrior, although it took much more time then expected you were able to hold your son again monarch class threat for more then 20 minutes of time, that it worthy of praise for someone so you young." Thedore hearing those words feels
warm sensation through his chest.
"..thank you you for the words father, I'll be sure to keep myself vigilant and to continue to explore and understand this world at large ." Shortly after he walks through black door and as the looming feel of nothingness washed over the entirety of the black star-ship, the same pressure everyone felt moments ago vanished without leaving even single trace bones and all.
The end…
