Fitran stood like a statue amidst the chaos, his demeanor calm and poised, unfazed by the deadly onslaught unleashed by Shigure. Though the horizon was consumed by a vibrant explosion of light, Fitran remained unyielding, his piercing gaze locked onto the samurai who had unleashed all his formidable techniques.
In stark contrast, Shigure appeared visibly shaken, a trickle of crimson oozing from his wounds. Despite the ferocity of his sword technique that had nearly erased Fitran from this dimension, the reality was painfully evident; Fitran stood resolute, seemingly impervious to the violent onslaught.
A serene smile graced Fitran's lips as he became enveloped in a swirling gust of frigid wind, forming an ethereal protective aura that distinctly marked him as more than just an ordinary warrior.
Technique 1: Prey Power
A stunning, crystalline aura radiated from Fitran's form, sending ripples of energy through the air and casting a dark shadow over the sky. Each gust of wind carried hidden strikes, surging forth with such unpredictability that it set the very environment around them quaking.
This relentless assault tore at the earth beneath Shigure's feet, creating deep fissures that split the ground wide open, resembling grievous wounds. Nearby objects vibrated violently, as if echoing the primal warnings that instinctively triggered within them, urging for survival.
Technique 2: Spikes of the Universe
Fitran elegantly raised his hand, summoning a spectacular display as hundreds of energy spikes erupted from the ink-black sky, shooting towards Shigure like a vibrant rainbow piercing through the darkness. The dazzling, multicolored sparks saturated the air, igniting it with an intense heat that wrapped around everything in the vicinity. With a crackling sound, the sharp, shimmering energy spikes descended violently, crashing into the ground and transforming the earth beneath into an unnaturally smooth surface, reminiscent of glimmering sheets of ice. This ominous transformation sent shivers through Shigure's weapons, which suddenly felt an inexplicable sense of vulnerability, as if they might soon liquefy under the overwhelming warmth, greatly hindering the combat power that had surged within him, driven by his fighting spirit.
Technique 3: Cosmic Dance
In a graceful movement, Fitran danced, gently sweeping his arms to create a whirlwind of energy around him. This vortex began to absorb all the light and energy in the vicinity, creating a thick darkness in the sky above, as if acknowledging and responding to his power. The effect of this technique was immensely strong, rendering nearby objects immobile, as if trapped within Fitran's terrifying dimension of dominance, while the entire atmosphere dissolved into an unsettling silence.
"It turns out, the existence you cut off is not as simple as you think, Shigure," Fitran said, his voice calm yet firm, echoing in the stillness. "I am not merely a body or a spirit. I am potential that can bend the laws you know."
天よ,我が祈りに応えよ.("O heavens, answer my prayer")罪なき者を護るため,
汝の障壁を降ろせ.("Lower your barrier to protect the innocent.")
天護の障壁――今ここに発動せよ!」("Heaven's Protective Barrier—activate here and now!")
Great Protective Magic (大守護魔法) -[天護の障壁（Tengo no Shōheki）]
As "Tengo no Shōheki" is invoked, a breathtaking heavenly light in mesmerizing shades of blue and gold descends from the ethereal realms above. This radiant light swirls gracefully, resembling delicate fingers of divine origin, weaving together to form a shimmering, transparent wall that envelops the user or the intended target. The barrier emanates an aura that appears to have been sculpted by celestial hands, exuding a luminous glow that reflects and refracts the ambient light, creating an enchanting spectacle that captivates the senses.
But this barrier is not merely a visual marvel; it serves as an unwavering shield, imbued with the extraordinary ability to neutralize hostile intent within its confines. The very essence of hatred, curses, or destructive forces is swiftly obliterated upon contact, as if they have been graced by the purity of untouched divine light. The atmosphere around the protective dome feels charged with peace, a stark contrast to the chaos that may swirl beyond its reach.
"An ancient protective technique that summons celestial powers to forge an absolute barrier," Shigure declared, his breath becoming ragged as he spoke. His once firm voice now wavered, yet it was laden with a relentless conviction that cut through the tension of the moment. "It was crafted to not only withstand the brutal force of physical or magical attacks but to nullify any threat that dares to intimidate the very existence of the soul."
Stepping forward with deliberate calm, Fitran approached the swaying figure of Shigure. Each movement radiated a serene energy, as though the very world around him synchronized with his steady strides, releasing an aura of tranquility that hung in the air like the gentle whisper of a summer breeze amid the tense confrontation.
Despite the severe injuries that marred his form, Shigure struggled to maintain his grip on his sword, which still glimmered with a sacred light that twinkled like a star plummeting from the velvet expanse of the night sky. Fatigue weighed heavily upon him, each labored breath overwhelming his senses, yet his spirit remained unyielding. As he gazed at Fitran, he sensed that this opponent was no ordinary foe; Fitran was a towering figure, one whose very presence threatened to shake the foundations of Shigure's beliefs in this harrowing battle.
"You... are not hurt at all," Shigure gasped, despair thick in his voice, each word trembling as if echoing the storm within his soul. "Even the most perfect attack of Ame no Hakai couldn't... "
With unwavering determination, Fitran lifted Excalibur, the legendary sword whose blade shimmered with an ethereal glow, as if it were forged from starlight itself. Its brilliance radiated outwards, capturing the very essence of the spectrum of the entire universe. Each heartbeat echoed through the stillness, harmonizing with the latent power resting like a coiled serpent within the metal, begging to be unleashed.
"Because my attack is a deeper truth, Shigure," Fitran declared, his voice resounding with a strength reminiscent of thunder rolling across a distant mountain range. "My magic is not solely for destruction; I am here to redefine the laws that govern our existence."
"I can also wield various techniques from the Eastern schools," Fitran added, his eyes sparkling with fierce resolve, an invitation to Shigure to witness the full extent of his prowess.
現界超震（げんかいちょうしん, Genkai Chōshin）- "The Shock Beyond the Real World"
Colors radiating around Fitran sparkled with an otherworldly energy that pierced through the very fabric of reality. The sky morphed into a rich, enigmatic dark purple, while clouds began to coalesce ominously, resembling a foreboding harbinger of an impending storm. An electrifying force emanating from Fitran's form caused the earth to shudder violently, fissures breaking open and illuminating the ground with vibrant pathways that glimmered with mesmerizing intensity. The ripple effects surged through the atmosphere, shattering the profound silence and generating a palpable pressure that made nearby objects vibrate harmoniously with the rhythm of his burgeoning power.
Kyoten Ritsudō - "Rhythm of the Empty Sky" is a technique that masterfully manipulates the cadence of reality with astonishing emptiness and grace.
"Impossible, how can this be?!" Shigure exclaimed, awe-stricken and filled with admiration, "That is a secret technique of the Oda family."
Fitran responded with a faint yet knowing smile, as if he could sense the astonishment that enveloped his opponent.
"Because my attack is the deeper truth, Shigure. My magic transcends mere destruction—I reshape the essential laws of existence, surpassing the boundaries you have come to understand," he revealed in a calm and self-assured tone.
Kōkyō no Seiiki - "Sanctuary of Descending Resonance"
With a swift and fluid motion, Fitran lowered the tip of his sword to the ground, and in that instant, a radiant wave of energy surged outward from the point of contact. The air around him vibrated with an exultant hum, and a dazzling array of colors burst forth, weaving a vibrant tapestry of light that danced elegantly in the atmosphere.
Meiheki no In - "Seal of the Wall of Darkness"
In response, Shigure activated a formidable technique that drew upon the shadowy depths of the dimension of darkness. A shimmering wall materialized, appearing almost ethereal in its transparency, as if delicately spun from strands of light. This wall was not merely an imposing barrier; it held the power to absorb malice itself, purging the area of any sinister intent. Any assault aimed at breaking through would be met with an overwhelming force, either deflected, diminished, or entirely neutralized, as if shielded by divine intervention.
However, Fitran was not done yet,
彩律召陸（さいりつしょうりく, Sairitsu Shōriku）- "Summoning of Chromatic Law upon the Earth"
A thick, ethereal atmosphere enveloped him, creating a shimmering mist that obscured vision and imbued the surroundings with an aura of mystique. The ground beneath his feet transformed, sparkling like a celestial canvas dusted with countless stars. An extraordinary power surged from Fitran's body, causing the dimensional wall to vibrate and shake, manifesting strange phenomena in the environment; the earth seemed to embrace this overwhelming presence with a deep reverence.
With a precise, fluid motion, Fitran pressed the tip of his sword against the ground. The Quantum Spectrum surrounding him trembled with fervor, radiating an intense energy that enveloped everything nearby, a vibrant announcement of the astonishing power on the cusp of being unleashed.
As the legendary Excalibur began to glow with increased brilliance, Fitran focused all his energy to manifest a higher power, fully embracing his destiny as the architect of fate.
聖環界創（せいかんかいそう, Seikan Kaisō）- "Creation of the Holy Ring World"
無響黎明（むきょうれいめい, Mukyou Reimei）- "Soundless Dawn"
彩空螺旋（さいくうらせん, Saikū Rasen）- "Colored Sky Spiral"
次元統律（じげんとうりつ, Jigen Tōritsu）- "Dimension Unification Law"
終界星奏（しゅうかいせいそう, Shūkai Seisō）- "Symphony of Stars at the End of the World"
The universe around them began to transform, morphing into a surreal tapestry that appeared both fragile and profoundly intertwined with the immense power surging from their very beings. The sky elegantly spiraled in a dance of vibrant colors, crafting a kaleidoscopic whirl in harmonious motion, while the reverberations of sound sliced through the fabric of reality, piercing the boundaries of existing dimensions. Every particle in the atmosphere vibrated with a force so profound, it generated a resonant pulse that was palpable to every living being present. In that poignant moment, all light faded into a dramatic silence; even the wind seemed to hold its breath, suspended in anticipation of the outcome of this intense confrontation.
With fervent determination etched on his face, Shigure steeled himself, preparing to unleash his final line of defense,
「反魔結界 (はんまけっかい, Hanma Kekkai)」 – "Anti-Magic Barrier".
When activated, Hanma Kekkai manifests a shimmering transparent wall, enveloping Shigure in a cocoon of ethereal light that radiates a soft glow, creating an aura of invulnerability around him. The light flickers like starlight, signaling that the very powers of the heavens are rallying to safeguard those within its embrace. This potent barrier serves to block and neutralize all forms of magic attempting to breach its sanctity, including fierce offensive magical attacks, malevolent curses, and other destructive forces poised to overwhelm.
As Fitran spoke with unwavering confidence, his voice resonating like a clarion call, he was fully aware of the monumental clash that lay before them:
"I know you are extraordinary, Shigure. But nothing can withstand the change that is coming from me."
And in the blink of an eye, Fitran thrusts his Excalibur forward, unleashing a cataclysmic Shockwave of Energy that rips through the fabric of time and space itself. The shockwaves obliterate every remaining defense that stood before Shigure, as if they were mere illusions fading into nothingness. The very ground beneath them trembles violently, cracking open like the earth's rage unleashed, while nearby objects are violently hurled into the air by the roiling force of energy. The atmospheric pressure around Fitran morphs into a crackling static, causing the sky and earth to quiver beneath his significant power, as if the entire world held its breath in anticipation of this monumental clash.
Hanma Kekkai shattered like fragile glass, its translucent fragments swirling through the air, caught in the tempest of chaos.
Shigure fell to the ground, trembling uncontrollably, blood streaming from gaping wounds that marred his skin. Despite his exceptional bravery and undying spirit, the magnitude of Fitran's power, having transcended the limits of this world, proved too formidable to endure.
In a stunning display, the Fragment of Space erupted forth, a breathtaking technique that intertwined the very essence of time and space in a dazzling surge of energy. Each of Fitran's movements sent the atmosphere vibrating intensely, creating rippling waves that sent shivers through the air, thick with swirling dust. As this overwhelming wave of power surged forth, the ground beneath Shigure fractured violently, resembling shards of glass strewn amidst the unfolding calamity.
Energy Explosion erupted with ferocity as Fitran unleashed a mesmerizing burst of brilliant blue energy towards Shigure. This dazzling manifestation of power radiated pulsating waves, its brilliance washing over the entire environment and transforming the scene into chaos. Objects that once stood peacefully were now arrogantly lifted into the air, swirling like leaves caught in a tempest, pulled along by the violent energy crashing against the ground. The natural barriers that had safeguarded Shigure were shattered, leaving him suspended within an abyss, vulnerable and utterly helpless.
"You are more than just a warrior, Shigure. But this time... this is the end of our battle."
Absolute Silence marked Fitran's climactic move, as he unleashed a concentrated energy that devoured all sound surrounding him. The atmosphere thickened with tension, time momentarily pausing as if holding its breath. After a sequence of explosive detonations that rippled through the very fabric of reality, an eerie calm descended upon the arena, with only shattered earth and debris remaining, littered like remnants of a fierce storm. As Shigure felt the overwhelming weight of this technique settle on him, his body grew heavy, drained of the strength and spirit that once surged within him, leaving only shadows in the now distorted and strained atmosphere.
With those final words, Fitran sheathed his sword, his gaze fixed on the now powerless Shigure before him. The world gradually began its slow return to normalcy, but the remnants of the battle's fog clung to the air like a ghostly shroud, casting a grim pall over the scene now steeped in uncertainty.
