[those miraculous appearances can always happen. so long as you have imagination]

There was no getting away from julius' attacks. before the attacks hit home, Lone Wolf summoned his magical barrier from his reserve MP that surrounded his entirely in a bubble. This only protected him from the force of the attacks.

The blows of Julius hit him hard and fast he could only hold his ground putting more magic into the barrier in a vain attempt to protect himself. There was one advantage though. Lone Wolf used the rest of his reserve MP to throw a wave of holy right back at Julius' wave of energy. This thankfully neutralised it saving Lone Wolf from a possible knock out

"You truly are good, but now it IS time this ended"

With his remaining strength, Lone Wolf charged at Julius. At the last possible second Lone Wolf jumped and flipped behind Julius taking him by complete surprise. With this Lone Wolf unleashed cataclysmic blows with his sword, powered up by his elements, Thunder and Holy.

At the end of what seemed like an endless amount of slashes of the sword, Lone Wolf glowed yellow and exploded from his body a blast of thunder followed soon by a wave of holy.

Lone Wolf was in quite a bit of discomfort and quite a bit of pain. Julius was powerful, there was no doubt of that. Lone Wolf's reserve MP had been fully used up, but luckily he still had a good chunk of his personal MP. The wave of holy had revitilised him slightly giving him some strength to battle further against Julius. There was no giving up now.

From within the explosive mass of energy Julius emerges, now his clothes were heavily damaged and most of his torso was exposed. His strong physique could be seen as this courteous warrior held tightly the hilt of his rapier. Julius rose his left hand and chanted a restorative spell to replenish some of the energy he had lost.

"Curare!!!!”
The spell summoned a bright holy light from the heavens falling upon Julius and restoring his life force up to three quarters of his energy. Julius then swung regained some of his vitality and took an defensive stance, the one he used mostly to counter incoming attacks. He placed the blade of his sword on his left forearm and held it like a shield, the surface of the blade facing Lone Wolf who could be seen reflected on Julius' sword. While keeping this same stance, Julius dashed forward.

Zeria was hit by several blows and flew back about 15 feet, hitting the ground harder than she would've liked. As she spoke in her weak yet angry voice, blood trickled past her lips and poured from wounds on her body.

"I carry all those things...because they are for protecting me and those I care for....once I trained endlessly with them, my skills improved. All morning....all night...I train. Nothing but working to surpass every limit I have..."

She struggled to her feet and glared demonicly, her eyes blazing to a crimson red.

"And now...you've broken the seal on the demon I've kept in check for so long...I hope you like pain...."

A mass of black, silver, and red flames burst forth around her and consumed her. An evil laughter could be heard, and as the flames opened to reveal her, all could be drawn into shock. She stood before Hudson, black tattoos covering her entire body, feathered black wings, and fangs bared as she grinned.

"I do hope Zeria warned you...I don't take it easy on fools who've harmed my host's body"

"I do hope Zeria warned you...I don't take it easy on fools who've harmed my host's body"

Another vagrant hero type with inner demons, literally. Just freaking great. Here he was, having a perfectly fine time getting stabbed and shot, and this demon her just has to come along and ruin things.

"I kinda' feel cheated ya' know! You never told that you had someone (or something) else working for you!"

He truly felt that he had been lied to. But perhaps this was a chance to to test himself? Perhaps this was another opportunity too move on to whole 'nother level of fighting? Perhaps this was an opportunity, to achieve but a million of the greatness, tiny fraction of the power that his great uncle, Macon Bright possesed. He wanted to be ever stronger, he wanted to be greater. This was one of those chances. He gritted his teeth, and gripped his blade as tightly as he could.

"I guess that we're kicking things up a notch now huh? Even better!"

Retorted Hudson as he paced, circling and eyeing his opponent. He was ready.

[oooh, showing off are we...two can play at that game xD. oh and btw, this is fun

]

Lone Wolf looked at the massive beam of holy that shot down from the sky and wondered why the hell hadn't he had thought of that?

Lone Wolf cast the spell White Blast on himself. Not only did it revitilise him a good deal (three quarters), but it restored a little of his MP for some reason. That never happened when he used Holy on himself...result!

Lone Wolf's clothes were slightly ragged now. His right sleeve had been torn off completely. he hated it when that happened. His muscles rippled through showing a dangerous side to Lone Wolf. Thats what happened when you wandered and battled as much as he did.

Lone Wolf drew his blade and split them into two swords once again. He raised his right arm above his head and his left arm to the right of his torso. When Julius was near enough, Lone Wolf swung both of his swords outwords in the direction of Julius.

At the same time, Lone Wolf summoned beams of Holy directly behind and to the sides of Julius so that even if the sword attack missed. The holy beams certainly wouldn't. the best thing was, because the holy beams were summoned, the attack would only drain Lone Wolf's MP if the beams actually hit Julius

The Demon Zeria grinned.

"Zeria never was one to tell people things. Always keeping her secrets so no one could hurt her..."

She laughed and sighed, returning her gaze to Hudson and following his every moment. Then, she decided to wreck some havoc.

"BLAZING INFERNO!"

Massive waves of flame and rock burst forth from the ground around her in a geyser of blazing red and black. Then, she drew out her Hellfire Blade and charged at Hudson, the blazing inferno following. She ripped her blade in 13 slashes, then leapt backwards over the attack. It would serve as both an offense and a defense.

October 10, 2007, 3:23 PM

"I got somethin' for ya' that'll help clear that right up!"

And then he tried something that he'd never done before.

He dug in deep. So very deep within himself, taking hins inner energies, and concentrating them amogsnt themselves. He took 10 seconds worth of his wild energy and condensed it into 5. Beads of sweat rolled down his forehead as slid his hand across the flat of his blade, oblivious of the onward rushing wall of flame and rock.

He re-centered his focus just in time to meet the oncoming attack head-on. It was surprisingly easy to parry her strikes, given the state of his blade. Her blade work was good, but it seemed that relying upon the demon even for as rare a situation as this threw off her swordsman- err woman- ship.

Not at all to say that he was better, but one tends to notice things about swinging swords after swinging them around for so long.

Regardless, Hudson was pleased with the preformance of his blade. Not only was it strong enough to take to blows without making him flinch, but the very blade itself seemed to dance upon the wind, he did it!

"Interesting... I've never tried that before ya' know."

Said he to what used to be Zeria.
Even more interesting was once again, the very fact that he didn't take a single step backward or forward! With a hop off of his left foot, he dove for the ground, after switching weight and momentum from his arms to his torso and abdomen to push himself up into an half-acrobatic flair. with a push off of his supporting hand into the air.

WIth a mighty twist of his hips, he managed to set himself through middair sideways, cutting through the tail-end of her attack. What he was trying to do was get through it, expending the least amount of energy and effort possible. This way just happened to be it. The slice that he had made through her attack wasn't done hard enough to dissipate it, but rather to cut through a small portion large enough for him to fit through with the wind sleeking off of his blade. He had aired in his calculation, as the cuff of his left pant leg was singed off.

"Hey! Ya' mind not tearing up our fighting grounds any more than we have to? I'd like to be able to fight on something!"

October 11, 2007, 1:29 AM

She laughed again.

"You don't get it, do you? I live to destroy things. Zeria's body is merely my host. But I must say, it is quite an honor for you to be given the chance to fight me. I haven't been released for 9 years....ah, but why share the memories, I'm supposed to be making you beg for mercy"

She performed the exact same attack again, but instead of just standing still behind the inferno, she charged up along with it, blades drawn. SHe was aiming for his legs this time. In order to immobilize him, that was the one thing she needed to take out.

"This game is over..."

October 11, 2007, 3:03 AM

Julius unleashed a powerful counter attack, deflecting Loen Wolf's right hand sword and dodging the left hand sword by mere inches. He saw how the rays of holy fell from above heading towards him and decided not to avoid the hits. It would be better to reflect them towards their caster, and it would require one of Julius's old book tricks to accomplish this task.

Julius stepped backwards while being followed by the rays of the holy spell. He landed a few feet away from the beams, giving him enough time to rise his left hand and summon his forth his magical power.

”This will surely guarantee you a direct hit, but it will also make sure to give you a taste of your own medicine! Here it is: Reflexus Scutum”

An advanced non-elemental spell that allows its caster to summon a reflective wall to shield itself against enemy attacks. The magical shield will redirect 75% of the energy absorbed by the spell of one magical based attack back to an opponent. The other 25% of the magical energy that was absorbed by the Reflect Shield will deal light damage as a penalty to the one who summoned the shield.

As the beams landed on the shield, they were instantly absorbed and redirected to Lone Wolf, Julius endure some physical damage as a price to use the spell. While still having his shield summoned, he disabled the magical barrier and unleashed yet another one of his spells.

”Flamma”

This basic fire based spell that summoned forth multiple fireballs that spun around Julius like a ferocious tornado of flames. Julius eyes burned bright red, his sight remained fixed on Lone Wolf who was being attacked by his own redirected attack. Julius remained silently while he extended his left arm towards Lone Wolf. With a simple snap of his fingers, Julius sent countless fireballs spinning fearsomely towards Lone Wolf, the last fireball being the largest of them all.
