Island The Blood Lord's Castle

Blood Lord's Castle #29 @Guren
​

Hahaha, yes it is indeed Sulong! Waltz cheerily responded to the statement from his opponent, landing in a crouch a few feet back, thrown backwards by the blow of the clash. Pushing himself to his full height again, hopping from one leg to the other. He sniffed the air, his eyes darting down to look at the stair for a moment, then back to Kallavan. Makes me want to rush at you and tear out your throat right now!

With the last word Waltz let out a howl to the moon, just as Kallavan charged forward. Electricity sparked along his body, flowing from his head down to his hands creating an arc between the tips of his fingers as he held them up before him. Then, all of the power flowed into his left hand as he stepped forwards.

Once more the two combatants came together, the power in their strikes became even more deadly than before. Lightning sparked from both of them, advanced color of the supreme king from the marine, while his native electro expelled from the mink’s limb. This time however, Waltz stood his ground, not allowing himself to be pushed back.

same as kallavan again

As Waltz and Kallavan clashed, the former digging his heels in to stop himself from being pushed back this time, the figure from below continued to climb the steps. Reaching the top of the stairs, she came into view, lit by the moonlight. Paralice, known as the Demon of Greed, looked from the two fighters to Thorkell who was off to the side. Leaning on the stone edge by the stairs, she took in Kallavan’s companion, her eyes innocent and begging, even despite the batlike wings protruding from her back.

Oh, good sir, what is happening? Can you help me?

Once more both fighters locked fists, surging electricity from both haki and electro causing harm all around the castle. Even with his highest order of haki Waltz had found a way to intercept and stand his ground, trying with all his might from not being blown back. Kallavan, finding the man before him like a slab of concrete couldn't help but show a grin through contentment.

"You cheeky mutt."

But that smile quickly faded when someone new arrived from the set of stairs. Within the fraction of a second the tension had increased tenfold. Kallavan withdrew his fist and took a few steps back through a single leap. His eyes locked with Thorkell, ordering the Fox to move through a single glance. The fox, a reincarnated Viking, felt it equally. This woman was something else. The power that Waltz radiated she did in her normal state. No transformation or devil fruit required.

Moving and eventually running as fast as it could Thorkell made its way towards Kallavan's side of the battleground and eventually to the single tower that stood behind the marine. A single bark sounding his disagreement on the matter. If it were Thorkell's choice he'd have fought that demon woman, but alas he followed orders. Nought he could do anyway in this form.

"Drop the facade Woman. You may act innocent but you cannot hide such a wicked aura from me." Kallavan said

The marine took a moment to gauge the situation, no longer could he afford to play around. With two of these monsters in front of him he had to fight to the limit of his abilities. But then a terrifying thought ran through his mind. If these two radiated such power and were not the leader of this place he dreaded to think what this Lord Urias was capable off. With each passing moment the decision to destroy this place felt more and more righteous.

If they ever went out into the sea they'd run rampant and cause countless casualties.

"So, who might you be?" Kallavan said, nearly demanding a name from the tone in his voice.

Blood Lord's Castle #30 @Guren​

Undeterred after the violent clash, Waltz stalked forwards, like a wolf ready to pounce at its prey. Yet the reaction from his opponent and his lackey confused him. Focused as he had been on the battle, he had not noticed Paracelise approaching. He sniffed the air as he turned towards the new arrival, head cocked and ears raised as he took in the view of the woman next to him.

Paracelise… Waltz said, growling as he spoke. What are you doing here? You better not take my fun from me.

Oh my dear Waltz… Paracelise said, approaching the mink in full sulong, despite his hostile nature. A gentle hand pressed against the underside of his jaw, fingertips pressed against the skin under the fur. Despite himself, Waltz seemed to wilt a little, his tail moving between his legs and the hair on his back rose even more than before. I wouldn’t dream of taking your prey from you. But the noise made it difficult to sleep.

Waltz opened his mouth to respond, but she turned her attention away from him, facing Kallavan where he stood. Half man, half dragon, his visage reminded her much of Medusa, yet there was a more brutal cast to this man than the young girl. She didn’t approach him, but neither did she move away. Instead she stood there, next to Waltz, watching him and finally taking in the words he had spoken.

Wicked, me? Oh, what horrible accusations you are throwing my way, along with demands. Paracelise shook her head, pretending to be offended at the accusations. You come into a woman’s house and demand she present herself as you wish her to, then make further demands of how she must talk to you? How outrageous!

A grin spread across the woman’s face, small but wicked. She had never bothered to commit to the subterfuge, instead it was just a game to her to see how others would react. Would they see through it immediately, or would they fall prey immediately. Those that were tricked were hardly worth keeping around.

Who am I? Paracelise said, practically tasting the words in her mouth. I am Lady of this castle you are standing atop. Lord Urias, Vania and I are blood bound. Now, before Waltz here jumps at your throat once more, I would like to ask you, adult to adult, what is your business here?

Paracelise raised a hand and pointed towards Kallavan, anger visible on her face.

You claim to investigate our pets since they are threats, but none of them have ever left our castle, so that is just justification after the fact. What lord doesn’t have security forces to protect their mansion? Is the problem that ours aren’t that nice to look upon?

Paracelise waved her hand towards the demons that were spread across the rooftop, then finally took a step towards Kallavan. With every word the malice and anger grew,

No. Why are you here, on this desolate island? What brought you to this land? If you cannot give me a satisfactory answer to this simple question, do not expect one in return.

 

[Guren]

Blood Lord's Castle #31 @Larsi

Kallavan looked on with a watchful gaze. This new arrival, Paracelise, was anything but calm and normal. Despite how she acted and spoke. The marine could feel it, sense it. His years of experience in life, combat and general instinct. All of it was screaming together at the young Vice-Admiral.

She's bad news.

From Kallavan's single question or sentence, the woman launched into a tirade, leaving little room for the marine to interject or respond to some of her questions. Eventually, she came to the main question at hand. Why was Kallavan here? What brought him to these lands? He grits his teeth in frustration. The truth was that he didn't know. And the how, none of these people would believe the truth. For it sounded far too ridiculous. But he went with it anyway.

"I was teleported here for unknown reasons. It could've been a coincidence or a grander purpose. I genuinely do not know. But it is the only answer that I can give. How else would you rationalize me arriving here from one moment to the next without a means of transportation?"

Kallavan said, rationalizing that he seemingly arrived here out of thin air. Especially on an island as well-defended as they are. Surely they'd have noticed some kind of vessel arriving?

"A lord doesn't need an army to defend himself from nothing. This place is desolate, nor do I recognize it from any of our known maps."

The marine said clenching his right hand into a fist and taking a step forward, frustration also boiling within himself. He had seen it first-hand with Icelandia, a realm without any army. They didn't need it for there was no agressor for miles around them.

"Time and time again have I shown patience with this place. Never striking first but you lot have forced my hand. Neither a defining answer as to who you people are and what you are doing here. Hiding something, scheming something. Minks, Reptilia, Demons all in one place. And not to even mention the many attempts on my life and still I gave a third chance to that mutt of yours. And still he fought against me."

The man looked forward, resolute and with power overwhelming.

"You can only blame yourself for the predicament you're in. So let the wolf loose and we shall see who rips out whose throat"

Kallavan said, perhaps overconfident and overzealous. But despite fighting Medusa and her creature this man did not show any signs of exhaustion. He held a near-bottomless well of stamina and vigour.

But would he keep up in a two vs one?

The time to master this new fruit was now.

Blood Lord's Castle #31 @Guren ​

Paracelise listened to the words the man spoke, and although she hadn’t expected anything different, it quickly became clear that they would not come to any agreement. Her point of view might be biased, but she clearly wasn’t the only one. Entering a home unbidden and executing the guard pet in the entry hall? Striking first and claiming he was giving his opponent a chance? Well, he had no problem justifying his action, but neither did she.

Waltz on the other hand was not so subtle and had to be silenced with a wave as he heard that, his voice reduced to a low growl. Paracelise herself only sighed once Kallavan had finished talking, shaking her head at the boisterous words.

Have at it, Waltz. Paracelise said with a wave and as if leaping off a springboard the mink leapt into action, running on all fours towards Kallavan. Once reaching within a few meters of the vice admiral the mink pushed his upper body off the ground, aiming a right uppercut towards his foe, his left arm held ready to follow up.

Would you dance with me then? Paracelise stepped towards Thorkell, raising a hand towards him as if for the man to grab for a ballroom floor. A sly smile on her face, she slowly approached the man, who stood together with Kallavan. Or are you going to make your boss do all the work?

Blood Lord's Castle #32 @Larsi

Convictions were strengthened and actions justified. But just like how this journey started an understanding would not be reached. Kallavan had already made peace with that fact. Until he could meet with this Lord Urias himself those who stood in his way would be dealt with, one way or another. Paracelise shook her head in disappointment and finally unleashed Waltz, who by that time was nearly trembling with excitement. And before even the last syllable was out of her mouth, the wolf rushed forward with incredible speed.

It was a mad rush towards the Admiral but in a mere count of one Waltz would've made it in front of Kallavan. Not wasting any second Waltz would throw his upper body forward, using that momentum to deliver a powerful uppercut. "Kami-E" The marine uttered with complete focus.

What followed next would be something that defied all logic. This behemoth of a man began to sway backwards, but at such an extreme angle that the uppercut would completely whiff its intended target. The amount of flexibility and athletic ability it required would, under normal circumstances, be completely impossible for a man of his build and size. But here, the Rokushiki technique would allow him to do just that.

With Waltz's attack missing its intended target, Kallavan would quickly counter. With his body, at such an angle he'd quickly rotate his upper body towards the ground and place both his hands on it. Using them let loose a very powerful kick.

"Rokuougan Shoot."

Spoiler

120: 5. Town Level +4(S) +2(haki) = 11. Small Continent Level

That singular kick, if it connected, would unleash a terrifying wave of kinetic energy throughout Waltz's body. Akin to a reject dial that was set off upon impact. The force multiplied through the release of a kick instead of a punch would have the desired secondary effect of blasting the opponent away. A custom variant of the Rokougan and yet another Kallavan original. If successful Kallavan would stand up from his position, emotions flaring up.

"Thorkell.." The man muttered under his breath.

A few paces away from men in their battle Paracelise approached Thorkell the fox. But strangely addressed him as a man. The fox outstretched its legs and barked in refusal to her commands. It contained quite an amount of character. But there was more to this animal than meets the eye. But would this enhanced human be able to notice that? The reincarnated spirit of a Viking legend lived within this small little creature. Standing on all four legs it growled deep from the throat and lips slightly elevated. Not showing its fangs just yet.

Thorkell opposed Paracelise's demands. Kallavan showed hints of worry and anger which, the demon queen should be able to pick up with mantra.

(I copied yours instead of my own lol)​

Waltz had rushed his opponent wildly, striking out towards his opponent’s head directly and simply. Although the half mink may be eager and simple in his desire to fight, he was not an idiot, at least not completely. And so it was that when his punch only struck air, he was not surprised to see Kallavan having dodged the attack. The counterattack was impressive, yet it wasn’t surprising.

Even so, due to the flexibility of the attack, the direction of the attack threw him for a bit of a loop. Immediately he struck downwards with his left hand, which he had held ready for this outcome. However, the sudden and awkward attack meant that he attacked more directly downward than he had anticipated.

Spoiler

120: 5. Town Level +4(S) +2(haki) = 11. Small Continent Level

The two forces clashing, equalizing between the two fighters, Waltz suddenly found himself pushed upwards and slightly away from Kallavan by the force of his own attack. Startled by the development, the half mink looked towards his opponent in anticipation, wondering how he would follow up on his initial attack. Even as he was mid air, beginning his descent towards the rooftop a short distance away, Waltz’s arms began to vibrate.

As Paracelise approached Thorkell, treating the animal like the human presence she sensed within the creature, she was rebuked by it. Growling towards the woman as she approached, Thorkell refused her. Sighing, Thorkell looked at the animal for a short moment, then turned towards the other two that were battling, just in time to see Waltz launched off the ground.

Giving Thorkell one last glance, Paracelise started slowly approaching Kallavan, her arms vibrating just like Waltz. Part of her attention was still on Thorkell, but she locked her eyes onto the Vice Admiral. Was she simply distracting him from Waltz or was she planning to actually break her promise to Waltz and attack him? It was impossible to tell, but it was doubtful that Kallavan could just ignore her.

 

[Guren]

Blood Lord's Castle #33 @Larsi

Another equal clash. Both fighters looked more and more on the same playing field than initially thought by Kallavan. With perhaps a quick flip Waltz would make it out of the Admiral's attacking range and only a short distance away from the man. The marine himself would return to a normal position, arm beside his body and a forceful exhale through his nose. To make matters worse Paracelise had taken her eye off Thorkell and onto the Vice-Admiral. Was this going to move into a two versus one? A wave of tension flew over Kallavan at the thought of it all. The man before him could hold his own, blow for blow with him. To match him aand the woman behind him? A sincere doubt started to form at the thought of it.

And even if he could. Would he still have the energy left to fight the big bad himself? With a sharp inhale the Admiral prepared himself, eyes beaming with focus.

"Hasshoken Ogi."

The man called as he dashed forward towards Waltz. Within this singular dash, he'd suddenly pick up and accelerate at a very high tempo, using soru in his 4 or 5th step. It'd make his appearance in front of Waltz very sudden and perhaps surprising to the mink. With only a step or two between the two fighters, Kallavan would call out and unleash a storm of punches into the air. From this storm of punches sharp shockwave detonations would be thrown all around the marine in a close-range radius. Many of whom would hit and perhaps overwhelm Waltz for there seemingly came no end to this onslaught of attacks. Red lightning also wove itself into this attack, crashing and zipping between detonations and onto the ground itself.

​

Kallavan seemed to tense up as Paracelise turned her attention away from Thorkell and instead towards the man himself. A smirk appeared on her face as she continued her slow and somewhat steady advance, only broken up by her body trembling with power, like both of the two men already engaged in battle.

Still falling towards the rooftop below, Waltz watched Kallavan with anticipation, something which came to fruition just then. The Vice Admiral charged at incredible speeds, crossing the distance in only a few steps, the last couple blindingly fast. Eyes widened in surprise and excitement as Waltz sensed the energy that his foe carried within. Yet he too had been preparing a counter attack since he had been repelled, a technique of the same vein as Kallavan’s own.

The power of Hasshoken surged throughout the bodies of both Waltz and Paracelise, something Kallavan might notice should he pay close attention. How they had attained such a skill was likely yet another mystery presented to the marine, yet he likely had too much on his mind to seek out an answer at the moment.

As Kallavan reached up close to Waltz at speeds that even to him might be hard to read perfectly, he proceeded to unleash a barrage of punches and shockwaves, each carrying power that surpassed that of the mink’s due to the color of supreme king that imbued each of the strikes.

Had Waltz not already anticipated the attack and prepped for it, he likely would have been done for. Only due to this was he able to quickly unleash the power he had been gathering, throwing forth a similar attack to meet that of Kallavan. However, he didn’t carry within his paws the same exceptional power that his foe did. It was due to this, although his first strike was able to mostly match the power of Kallavan, each follow up left him losing ground more and more. After dozen or so strikes his guard was spent, the attack breaking through and although weakened, it still crashed into him with great force, despite his defensive haki coating his body.

Ribs broke and flesh bruised. Waltz thought he could sense his right arm snap, but he wasn’t sure. All he did know was that he was flying backwards, away from his opponent. He crashed into the far end of the rooftop, furthest away from the tower, above the entrance to the castle Kallavan had entered through what might seem an eternity ago. He groaned in pain and tried to push himself up, but his right arm gave away, as he had feared. His torso seemed to scream in agony, but he pushed it back, allowing his animal side to come to the front.

Paracelise moved silently and quickly forwards as Kallavan unleashed his barrage, attacking in all directions. Even as the shockwaves bore down on her, she simply pulled back her arm, then struck forward with a clenched fist, as dark as the knight. From the tips of her knuckles she seemed to morph and twist the air before the strike, and just like Kallavan, dark lightning followed in its wake.

As the fist made impact with the first shockwave, the power within was unleashed, bursting forth as a beam towards Kallavan, yet her offensive spirit was stronger than the marine. Pushing aside the shockwaves, Paracelise’s attack broke through and traveled directly towards Kallavan’s torso, and although weakened, carried impressive power to devastate the intruder with, should he not react in time.

__________________________________________________​

They are getting lively out there. Lord Urias mumbled to himself, his voice taking on a cross tone. I told them to not disturb me tonight, they should know better.

He stepped towards the stone slab in the center of the room, looking pleased at his work. Strewn across the floor around the altar were countless bodies of the same demons that Kallavan had encountered in his climb. None of them moved, they all seemed like withered husks, devoid of any liquid.

A smile crossed the man’s lips, if that is what he truly was, seeing the stone having transformed in the last hour, the blood of the creatures having sunk into the very core of the table. The pattern that was etched into the surface was like a three-pronged star, with intricate symbols and shapes intertwining and connecting seamlessly.

A few demons still crept along the outside of the room, watching the lord with terrified eyes. With a swipe of his arm, Urias seemed to pull three of them towards him. As they each reached him he whipped out a massive iron spike for each, which he swung through the air, driving it into the chest of each of the demons. As fluid motions he then slammed all three into the center of one of the prongs of the table, driving the tip of the spike into the stone itself.

But my work is done… Lord Urias whispered coldly as he cut across his left palm with his right index fingernail, dripping blood across the three still writhing demons pinned before him. As one they hissed out in pain, then their very essence seemed to be drawn into the table they laid on, mouth agape in fading agony. The markings on the table lit up a brilliant red, filling the room as the eyes of the lifeless demons took on a more brutal hue, before their bodies began to transform.

__________________________________________________​

Even despite the battle, Kallavan should be able to sense that something was happening above. As the small windows in the top of the tower released a red glow, he should be able to sense another presence even more daunting than Paracelise, flanked by three others that seemed to spring from nowhere, gaining powers at an incredible rate.

Blood Lord's Castle #34 @Larsi

Kallavan had unleashed a barrage of strikes, aiming to overwhelm Waltz and defeat him in one fell swoop. However, Waltz was prepared and met the first dozen punches blow for blow that Kallavan threw towards him. Luckily for the Admiral, this feat didn't continue for the duration of his attack and finally, at long last Kallavan started to hit the pup's body. While his technique was greatly weakened, it still had enough to cause serious harm. Kallavan saw his opportunity to continue, with Waltz buried under rubble this was an opportunity like no other. That was until Paracelise suddenly arrived and prepared a punch that overpowered that of the Admiral himself.

"Impossible!" Kallavan shouted.

Spoiler: Result

DPR equal to dura: normal damage

The man had nearly enough time to guard himself with a thin layer of defensive haki. It didn't temper nor coat it with its trademark dark shine. But it still provided the necessary bulk and armour to withstand what would come.

Flung to the ground like a ragdoll, Kallavan was at the mercy of Paracelise's punch, crashing into the ground like a comet from the sky. Even with his haki mitigating the damage the result was still that she managed to land a solid hit on the man. On her first try. Kallavan pulled himself back on his feet, a massive bruise on his torso. Nearly pitch dark in colour due to the immense strength and power that was behind it. If not for his haki this would've been bad news.

"Just who are you people," Kallavan said, grunting beneath his breath. Finding haki users of this magnitude at what appeared a backwater place went beyond reason. No matter what the response would be the man's attention would be drawn to something far more pressing. A red glow appeared on top of the tower nearby. From that same location, a presence would radiate that'd make the Vice-Admiral shiver to his very core it was at a magnitude of Kaidou but far more sinister and dark. Coupled with the fact that more aura signatures of prominent level were appearing next to it was equally as shocking.

"What on earth is happening here?"

Stunned. There was nothing else to describe Kallavan's current state. Fate didn't spare the man. It wasn't even a month ago that he had fought Kaido and nearly clinched that fight. Yet here he was fighting opponents just a single level below that man and now someone of equal might appeared from out of nowhere. Was there a reason Kuma had dropped him here? Did the warlord know of the terrible fate the world would await if this evil got out? Both Waltz and Paracelize would most likely sense the fluctuation in Kallavan's aura/haki. A string of doubt. A sliver of fear had moved into the man's body.

"To live you must grow. Consume this experience. For if you don't."
"You will die."

A voice spoke to Kallavan but only to the marine as a face seemed to appear in the sky above, a face made out of clouds. Gazing and observing our marine warrior.

Blood Lord's Castle #34 @Guren​

Waltz felt his power flee him, his Sulong form retreat and his pain coming to the forefront. Like a dog, he retreated with his tail between his legs. He retreated away from Kallavan as Paracelise took his place, fending off the Vice Admiral.

"Just who are you people,"

We are the outcasts, driven to the edge of the world. Paracelise said, her voice as cold as the night. We have nowhere else to go, yet you try to prod us further.

Above, the red light that shone from the tower grew, until it reached a crescendo. Throwing its glow afar, if there were any ships near the forlorn island, even they would spot its demonic hue. Then the tower erupted, shards of stone, metal and wood scattering through the air and raining down on those on the rooftop below.

Four shapes leapt down from above, landing on the plateau that already was crowded. Lord Urias rose to his full height, looking from Waltz, to Paracelise, finally landing on Kallavan. Behind him three inhuman figures stood, each one hunched forward, seemingly ready to charge at their foe.

With Waltz out of the picture, Paracelise took his place a monster took over for yet another monster. One after the other the terrors he had to fight in the realm kept showing up. But the big bad, the grandmaster of this place had yet to reveal himself. Until now, enter lord Urias - Protector of the Realm. "If you keep showing your fangs to the world, then yes. Just like you, I am simply defending my home." Kallavan said before the tower behind him erupted, forcing him to turn his head in response. Even putting up his arm in response to defend himself. Through the falling debris, 3 beasts arrived on the crowded plateau, each as strong as Waltz and Medusa if not higher. A stern expression quickly formed on the Vice-Admiral's face for this horde paled in comparison to Urias, who had a might comparable to himself. The deciding factor, however, was that the lord was fresh compared to the marine who had fought multiple rounds in a row.

"Has that ever worked out for anyone?" Kallavan said rejecting the notion of surrendering to these people.

Following that quick rejection Kallavan immediately inhaled sharply, his chest expanding to accompany the immense amount of air. What came next was a nearly instant release of it. A second at most interval between these actions.

"Kaze breath!"

Spoiler: DPR

120: 5. Town Level +4(S) = 9. Small Country Level

A massive tunnel of wind erupted from Kallavan's mouth aimed straight at both Urias and the minions behind him. The size of this tunnel was enormous compared to Kallavan's frame. While not small at his 710cm this felt more like a giant had thrown it forward. It easily encompassed the entire plateau's floor and everything around it. Thorkell the fox who had felt the dire circumstances had already made its retreat out and away from the castle. By the time Urias had hit the floor the creature had already made its retreat. The wind boro breath flew towards the enemies before him, hitting them and shredding and destroying everything around them. Easily capable of dismantling an entire mountain, one would think how the section of a castle would hold up.

Kallavan, however, wouldn't leave it at that. From the instant his 'beam' had left his mouth, the man would leap upwards. Flexing every muscle fibre in his legs the marine shot skyward, using geppo to aid in this acceleration. High up in the air, the man would cock back his right arm, haki coating the entire arm and fist as red lightning was dancing wildly around the fist. This sensation. Kallavan thought. Not since Kaido have I felt anything like it. This pressure, this uncertainty whether I'll come out alive or not. It...it excites me and makes my blood boil. But it also heightens everything within me. My haki is responding to this sensation, I believe I can go even further. The next stage!

Kallavan wondered as he looked at the creatures down below awaiting the perfect opportunity to strike. But also to allow him to get used to this new sensation and budding power, to channel this much might didn't come as easy as a normal one-two combo. You had to take it in and memorize the feeling; to grasp it, you had to get used to it.

"Come! I'll show you the might of the navy!" Kallavan shouted from up high.

 

[Larsi]

Blood Lord's Castle #35 @Guren​

Even in the face of overwhelming odds, Kallavan was not someone who would turn tail and run at the first sign of trouble. Some might call this bravery, others would refer to it as hubris, but only the outcome of this would decide which of the two the vice admiral currently was being pushed forward by. Lord Urias noticed the strange animal that had followed the intruder rushed off, away from the castle, but he was content with letting it get away. It was unlikely that it would escape this island alone anyway, they could hunt it down after having dealt with this man.

Kallavan immediately made his next move, unleashing a blast of air towards Urias and the three other creatures, aiming to engulf them in their violent path. All three of the summoned creatures started to move forward to meet the attack, but before they could do much more than take a single step, Urias swung his hand before him. Red liquid spewed from the palm of his hand, flowing outwards and positioning itself like a shield before the four figures. Off to the side Paracelise watched with little surprise as Lord Urias' Blood Barrier diverted the attack with ease, shielding himself and the summons from harm.

As Kallavan ascended up into the air, Urias retrieved the red liquid back into his body, watching the intruder from below. Then, with a wordless command all five of the combatants beat their wings, soaring upwards like reverse peregrine falcons diving for prey. Spreading out, the five winged enemies would quickly surround the marine from all sides. Paracelise and Urias hung back as the three summoned creatures moved in.

Fire flowed from their limbs, as the Wraith and Brute attacked with fiery fists and sword from Kallavan's left and right, while the Mage thrust its hands forward, unleashing a fiery spear towards the marine's back. While his minions attacked his foe, Urias watched and waited, directly in front of Kallavan, while Paracelise waited off to his right.

His opponents moved to intercept. All five of them soared into the air through the aid of their wings but from those five only 3 would move in to attack Kallavan. Wraith and Brute attack with flame attacks from his left and right while Mage went for a stab towards his back. A pincer move as he could, supposedly, not move away from any of these attacks. The spear attack would hit the Admiral's back as would the other two attacks. But soon it became apparent that all they had hit was a mere after-image. "Zanshin." Kallavan whispered as he reappeared behind mage, his right fist moved forward. Its power nigh uncontrolable at this point, haki overflowing out of this fist. The fist aimed at the back of this Mage creature, but whether it moved out of the way wouldn't matter, in the grand scheme of things.

"Galaxy Impact!" Kallavan shouted at the top of his lungs.

120: 5. Town Level +5(S+) +3(Haki) +1 CoC = 14. Planet Level

The marine shouted and from it an enormous blast of power erupted, aiming to engulf all those that stood before him. But not excluding a major part of the castle that stood behind them. The magnitude of this blast was unlike anything Kallavan had unleashed before, a spark of awakening to a higher power. Something that he hadn't even accomplished during his battle with Kaido.

The large span of this technique would make it very diffcult for his opponents to avoid and perhaps especially to the creature that stood directly before him. It would most likely bear the majority of the force. As if an entire mountain was dropped upon it. Not that it'd dwindle the power to the others, however.

With his technique deployed Kallavan's eyes gleamed red, guard at the highest he looked out for any sneak attacks. His mouth open, drawing more air in than usual. The stamina monster was slowly approaching his limits.

Lord Urias watched with a calm demeanor as the three creatures he had summoned struck forwards, assaulting their intruder. His eyes took on a strange cast as he seemed to see beyond the moment, seeing the devastation that the intruder was about to bring down on his home. Even in the face of this, all he did was raise his right hand and point at the mage, his left at the wraith, even before Kallavan would appear behind it.

Both of the creatures seemed to act as if possessed, perhaps they were, as they both pulled their claws across their torsos. Blood surged forth, even as Kallavan appeared behind the mage, ready to strike. Moving almost as swift as the marine had, the blood flowed outwards and around the mage, while the wraith seemed to guide its own towards the mage as well.

Darkened by the haki of the mage, its blood shot back towards Kallavan as the marine unleashed his devastating attack. Formed into a multitude of sharp spikes that normally would have impaled Kallavan, however in this case they broke before the Galaxy Impact. It was still enough to significantly lessen the force of the attack.

Even so, as the remnants of the attack had almost reached the mage, its skin seemed to glow red, then darken. No cries of agony escaped its lips as the shockwave crashed into its body, yet it was thrown down to the castle below, breaking through the roof top with a loud crash. The rest of the castle was left untouched as the wraith had been quick enough to save the structure, but not its ally. Its great blood barrier had stopped the rest of the Galaxy Impact before it hit anyone else.

Even as the air was filled with blood, Paracelise made her move. She rushed through the air, flames urging her on. Her arms seemed to tremble as she thrust them forward, unleashing a focused blast of Hasshoken directly from Kallavan's front, approximately five meters in front of him. The blood that still hung in the air would be flung forwards, along with the attack, likely splatter all across the marine's body even if he defended against the attack.

If he was able to pay attention, the mage climbed out from the hole it had created below moments earlier, wounded but not defeated. Its empty eyes looked up towards the battle in the skies, beating its wings and shooting upwards to rejoin the rest.

The Galaxy Impact detonated with power and force without comparison from a single human. But Kallavan's eyes would widen in shock as he noticed the counter appearing mere moments before. Before the light of his attack would obscure the outcome his eyes darted to Urias who had seemingly intervened. Kenbunshoku? Kallavan thought to himself as haki would engulf the others in a sharp light.

The harsh truth of the matter was that only the mage beast would bear the brunt of his king's haki-endowed fist. And even with that in mind it wasn't a certain kill, through a quick counter and the supporting role of its beastly siblings it'd soon stand up once more. Ready to join the battle in but a single moment. "Curses." Was the only thing that left Kallavan's lips for Paracelise would be soon upon him, seizing this moment of opportunity to strike the open Kallavan. Strangely she choose to attack him head-on, from the front. Her arm visibly trembling, a habit the Vice-Admiral quickly spotted for he had used this art for years and had mastered it himself. That and the distance he knew she was about to throw a mid-range punch. A feat only Hasshoken users can pull off effectively. There was no time to think and instinctively Kallavan drew in a lot of air through his nose as blue light gathered around his mouth.

"Goro breath!"

Kallavan shouted as the blue beam of lightning clashed with Paracelise her own hasshoken. Considering the size and heat of this beam of lightning it remained to be seen if any blood wasn't evaporated by it. Even if it could move around its area of effect. But still, the outcome of this struggle was that Paracelize her blast would eventually see it hit Kallavan albeit it heavily weakened. It'd dig deep into his abdomen and push him back for several meters in the air, the man grabbed it in response to the pain. Luckily it wasn't life-threatening but these hits would soon start to pile up and it was only a matter of time before he'd reach the threshold of his body. "Hehe. Not good." The young man said with a slight chuckle, finally admitting that his chances of victory were slim at best. "To fight monsters, guess I'll have to level the playing field."

Kallavan said as he exerted nearly all of his strength in his legs and jumped upwards high into the air. That singular movement saw the young man move from his hybrid form into his full zoan form. But those below would also start to notice a faint red glimmer. Before long the red glimmer would've spread all over the dragon's body, increasing his already monstrous size to something that rivaled an Island. Eventually, the marine came down to what one would assume to be eye level but regarding Kallavan now, everything was out of proportion. The intensity of his fire was now on or near the level of magma, even from where the Lunarians were standing they could feel it. This intense heat may be beyond their natural resistance to it. But that was a mere guess on the narrator's part.

"Kaen Daiko."
"This terrible feeling has been confirmed. You lot are too dangerous, the threat you pose to the world is too great. If only we could've met sooner."

Kallavan uttered calmly but this form was beyond anything an ordinary zoan could offer. But still, would it be enough to combat all of these Yonkou-level creatures at once? He'd at the very least try it. With his massive whiskers, the man started to move them left and right at high speeds, leaving a flame-like trail as they moved.

"Kiri Shigure."

From the heavens, a torrential rain of air pellets fell each with the ability to melt down stone within the instant. The castle and everyone around it, its target. But the spawns would be its primary focus.
