Chapter 21
The sounds of multiple explosions filled the once quiet forest air, Levant let loose a fury of bullets at the person standing behind Polaris, they mowed down the trees in their direction burning holes into them, the unknown person held out his hand touching Levant on his shoulder,
"Is this how your country greets it's guess", the stranger said, Levant froze, his mind racing, trying to figure out how they got behind him, his arms were still pointing in the direction the stranger once stood,
"If that's the case allow me to greet you also", the stranger expressed, He rapidly twisted his body, throwing a kick at levant, his legged was stopped, however, by a pillar of ice a little taller than Levant, the ice crept it’s way onto the strangers leg freezing it in place on the pillar,
"Ohh, that's interesting", the stranger commented, Levant’s finger twitched on his weapon, his eyes regaining their sharpness, he had snapped out of his trance like state, his head turned to see the ice next to him and the stranger fused to it, he jumped back away from his now enemy, a look of annoyance and anger washing over him, as he pointed his weapons at the stranger,
“Pol I’ll cover you let kill this asshole”, Levant shouted,
“say less”, Polaris responded, placing himself in front of Levant,
Aluric’s eyes were stuck on Levant, a smile creping across his lips, the ice groaned, cracks appearing on it, like the sound of many glass windows slowly cracking, he pulled his leg back, the ice shattering into hundreds of tiny pieces on the ground, he launched himself at Levant, determined to continue the fight, but, Polaris stepped in between them, his sword mid swing aiming for Aluric’s neck, but before he could connect, Aluric jumped into the air above Polaris’ sword, propelling himself off of Polaris’ blade pushing himself over Polaris and directly towards Levant, swinging his leg downwards towards Levants head,
The air around levant heated up, frighteningly quickly, as flames erupted from his hands, pushing backwards out of the way of the stranger, whose leg had come crashing down shattering the ground where Levant was standing, Levant aimed one gun at his attacker, while pushing the other hand engulfed in fire towards the ground, propelling him into the air, as he charged an attack
"BLOOD MON BULL", levant started to say, his opponent was rocketing towards him, so fast Levant barely moving out of the way, a shocked look on his face,
"Fire....and it's quite powerful, it needs some refining though", the stranger stated to levant,
Levant jerked his body in mid air, twisting himself to face his opponent, who was now above him, his face immediately turning pale at the sight in front of him, his body tingled all over with a slight burning sensation as though his powers, no, his entire being was responding to what he was witnessing,
“ no wonder it felt familiar……YOU”RE BLESSED WITH FLAMES”, levant shouted, his eyes filled with the reflection of the flames erupting from the feet of his opponent,
“not quite”, Aluric said, rocketing towards Levant, whose eyes and face still reflected the shock he was in, increasing the flames on one of his feet while tilting forward caused aluric to front flip his body extending his foot , an explosion filled the air, the as the tress all bent away from the force of it, as the surrounding area was filled momentarily with a warm orange light, Aluric landed a devastating blow to Levant’s stomach, A trail of smoke bellowed from Levant as he rocketed towards the ground, a thunderous sound filled the air again, shaking the earth, as birds flew out of the trees,

Polaris Looked on in horror, Levant’s limp body breaking through four or five trees, before hitting the last one as he sat there slumped over, streams of smoke rising from his body, the impact was so great, one of Levant’s guns flew right pass Polaris’ face and into the forest, his mind unable to fully register what was unfolding in front of him,
"Don’t feel bad you're next", the stranger said, appearing behind the visibly shaken Polaris,
“ARRGGGGHHH”, Polaris shouted at the top of his lungs,
Polaris didn't waste a breath, he drew his sword once more and swung behind him, only cleaving through air, because he had much experience fighting, his senses led him to look down, Aluric was crouched down with his hand pushed out towards polaris, fire erupted from it, engulfing Polaris within flames, a warm feeling washed over like if he was having a walk on a sunny day, because he had a blessing of water Levant’s fire would usually have to be insanely hot for it to feel as though it was burning him, that, or he would have to sit in a flame for a long period of time to feel it,
"That fire is way too low in heat to hurt me", polaris thought to himself, throwing his body backwards to escape the stream of flames, Aluric burst through the flames in front of Polaris, in a panic, Polaris arced his sword wide, shooting off sharp shards of ice towards his opponent,
The stranger stopped in his tracks, erecting a wall of flames to protect himself, Polaris used this opening and blitzed behind him, striking at the back of his neck, but the stranger turned around, sending his fist towards Polaris’ incoming blade, pushing a large burst of fire from his hands just before the sword hit him, knocking the sword out of polaris' hand and sending it into a nearby tree, Aluric dropped low, sweeping out one of his legs in a crescent motion, knocking Polaris’ legs from under him, Polaris hit the ground hard, a shadow came over his face, he could feel the pressure, Aluric’s hand was pinning him to the ground, he looked up into the eyes of his opponent, he felt his mind wondering as though he was entering a trance,
"Hmmm.....this is also interesting, let's see what I can do with this power hmmm", Aluric said smiling wickedly,
Polaris could feel a strange sensation, it felt as though his blessing, at least a part of it was leaving his body, pain flooded his mind, then a fierce burning sensation, as though a part of his body was being ripped away. He let out a scream muffled by the hand over his mouth, his entire body shaking and squirming violently against the stranger, he could feel his body growing weaker and weaker by the moment, his eyes began to roll to the back of his head, he began to fade into his unconsciousness, in one last desperate attempt Polaris summoned what remaining strength he had and slammed his hand into the ground,
Multiple ice spikes shot from within the ground, all aiming for his opponent, flames erupted, as Aluric propelled himself upwards to avoid the ice spikes,
Polaris rolled over, coughing, heaving and gasping for air, his vision coming back to him as he focused once more on the person in front of him,
“you, you are more dangerous than I thought” polaris said, getting up off of the ground, wiping his hand over his mouth,
“and you are more resilient than I thought”, the stranger said,
“what did you do to me just now ?”, Polaris said
“well wouldn’t you like to know”, the stranger said,
“FINE THEN I’LL MAKE YOU TALK”, Polaris said, stretching both of his hands into the air, and forming multiple spears of ice, all differing in thickness and length, he brought his hands forward launching them towards his opponent,
“Now that’s more like it”, the stranger said, as he began to run, jumping up and down, bobbing and weaving through, the spears of ice that were being launched at him, he began to circle Polaris, getting closer and closer to him,
He, jetted a continuous stream of flames towards Polaris, melting majority of the incoming ice, Polaris was met with a sea of flames at the end of his volley of attacks, the stranger jumped through the wall of flames, his hand reared back, aiming at Polars,
“you’re mine”, Polaris said, launching spear of ice towards his opponent, aiming for his shoulder, however his opponent noticed, catching the spear, spinning in the air, due to the attacks momentum, and sending the attack straight back towards Polaris,
Polaris turned the ice spear, into water, causing the water to fall onto him, as his opponent landed, a pillar of ice shot out of the ground, sinking into Polaris’ stomach and rocketing him in the air, the stranger launched him self into the air, approaching Polaris at blinding speeds, he landed a punch to polaris’ stomach, fire erupting from his fist on impact, launching Polaris, far way from him
