The sound of metal hitting metal rang across the castle city, as Osei and Galzed traded blow for blow.
Osei jumped back noticing the floor freezing and creeping near his feet from Galzed.
Galzed yelled out.
"World of Ice."
The wind picked up fast.
The ground from him as the epicenter froze at an incredibly fast pace.
Osei jumped back even further near Helio then jumped in the air, floating, by keeping electricity running under his feet.
For lightning users, doing this drains a heavy amount of energy.
Helio jumped up and created a floating ice platform for himself, then one for Osei, so that he could retain his stamina.
Osei looked back at him and nodded.
"Thanks."
The two looked around below them.
The entire castle was frozen.
The temperature dropped drastically.
Osei and Helio started to feel chills, as mist formed from their breath.
Galzed laughed.
"Since it's two vs one, I hope you don't mind if I fight in my comfort zone. Now..."
He created an ice platform for himself to fly with and charged at Osei.
Osei went into first gear, then he and Helio fired hundreds of electric balls and icicle blades at him.
Galzed intercepted each barrage with even more icicles rising from the frozen city.
Then he crashed through the attacks and collided with Osei's sword.
Striking him off his platform.
Osei free falled for a bit but maintained flight, creating a small condensed ball of electricity in is palm and kept it rotating at mach speed.
Osei parried Galzed's incoming sword strikes, as Helio shot ice blades at Galzed's back.
Once he found an opening, Osei thrusted the ball into Galzed's and yelled, "Raika Sphere."
Tens of millions of volts spilled out of the sphere as it crashed like glass coursing through Galzed's body.
He was sent flying down through the castle city, leaving destruction in his wake.
Osei zoomed in to follow up, but a gigantic golem over 30 feet tall made out of ice seemingly rose out of the ground, and swatted Osei, across the other side of the city.
Helio was terrified, his knees shook as he looked up at the golem.
We were in over our head, he thought.
We could never defeat them.
The golem made its way towards Helio, seeming gliding across the ice city.
If you discover this tale on Amazon, be aware that it has been unlawfully taken from Royal Road. Please report it.
Hordes of kazuc screeched towards Osei's direction gunning for were he dropped.
Helio panicked even more he didn't know what to do.
Buzzes went off in his hear and then a voice cracked through.
"Helio, get yourself together, remember where you came from, remember what your here to do."
Helio responded.
"Sarah... I don't know if I can do this."
"You are Helio Leondro, there's nothing you can't do. Why can't you control his ice?"
"His ice...?"
Helio said as he launched volleys at the giant while trying to create distance.
"Yes Helio, if he can get stronger, with the ice around him, you can too."
It never crossed his mind.
Tobi rarely used ice techniques so it was hard to gain knew knowledge from him.
However Helio decided, he wanted to do everything in his power to win this fight.
He stopped a far enough distance from the golem.
Then focused on the energy around him.
He realized that the ice around the city was all alive as if Galzed was continuously pouring in energy.
Ice was his domain, but he was afraid of touching the foreign energy, nevertheless he reached out.
What he didn't know was that Tobi's cells inside the suit have Tobi's will, and nothing could stop his cells from taking energy.
Parts of the ice city started to melt as Helio sucked in all the frost energy around him, his body temperature stayed 37°C, but the temperature outside his skin dropped to -30°C.
A whirlwind of ice started to form around him.
Galzed had just flown into view, stopping his golem short since Helio kept running away.
"What do you think you're doing, you coward."
The whole in his stomach had still not fully recovered.
"I am no coward, and I'm taking your strength."
Galzed laughed out loud once again.
"You're squishable like a bug, what can you even do."
Turquoise veins, started racing through Helios body.
Mist formed from each breath he took.
He felt a rush of power like never before.
Galzed's strength really was bottomless he thought.
Galzed felt the discomfort and threw his axe at Helio.
Helio dodged it with graceful motion, confidence rushing through him.
He flew at sonic speed towards Galzed cutting down.
Galzed jumped and dodged the strike, but the cold breeze continued through, slicing him in half and manifesting destruction in the city below a with a sheet of ice.
He couldn't believe his eyes, luckily his brain had moved his core to the left at the last second and sent a huge ice volley crashing into Helio.
Helio was sent flying off his platform but he caught himself with it in time, before he hit the ground.
As soon as it hit the ground Galzed's left half dragged itself using ice to reattach with it's right side again.
"This kid is using my energy, but how? I'm not allowing him to."
He whispered under his breath to himself.
"I have to kill him first."
Osei came out of nowhere and went for his neck.
Afraid of being cut a second time Galzed ducked then froze Osei's sword in place with an ice column protruding out if the ground.
Helio flew by overhead, stopping behind Osei and tens of ice volleys at the ready.
Galzed spoke up.
"You're still alive."
Osei grinned.
"I'm not leaving without your head."
Oops, Sarah was gonna get him for that, he thought.
The World was still watching.
Galzed smiled back.
"Then try taking it after this."
He jumped back up on a ice platform dodging Helios volleys.
Helio made a platform for Osei to hop on.
Galzed raised both of his hands above his head.
A giant whirlwind of ice, blizzard itself inside a a massive sphere of ice above him.
It grew to over 10 times his size.
Cracks formed around the sphere, as he tried to maintain the ice blizzard he had concocted.
The air around them dropped over 20 degrees.
He looked down at them, wanting to see the fear in their faces.
Without missing a beat, the pair had already got to work on their combo move.
Something they had practiced over and over together as a whole group.
Incase of emergency, and to make up for Tobi not being there, assist each other's elements.
Helio made the sphere while Osei poured in electricity.
Helio drained as much as he could from Galzed's Ice.
The city had almost completely melted.
With both of their right hands hovering over the highly charged ball.
The sphere condensed hundreds of times over rotating over Mach speed.
Galzed laughed.
"Struggling till the end, they always do that. Good by Warriors of Earth!"
He then dropped his hands forward towards them as his attack followed his directions.
"Freezing Comet!"
The pair had just finished accumulating the most amount of energy they could possibly muster.
Their ball was much bigger than when they had first started.
They looked up at the incoming massive sphere, the shadow loomed across the whole city.
They pointed their attack at it then blasted the ball forward leaving tens of cloud rings behind it.
The two attacks collided.
Their ball broke through, striking Galzed before his attack could explode in a whirlwind of ice in midair.
Galzed's whole body was paralyzed as it it froze and crumpled away into tiny pieces, hundreds of meters from his original position.
The two looked at each other, then fist bumped.
