[Island]
Without any exchange at all, both Akito and Lorius knew each other's intent as they both rushed forward and made a beeline towards their chosen opponents. Surprisingly the choices they made shocked both Allen and Seol.
For both Allen and Seol, it was only natural that Akito pick Seol since their fight wasn't over yet and Lorius picks Allen since he likes to fight strong opponent's. Never did they expect that both of them made a switch and Lorius would actually go for Seol and Akito would go for Allen.
Without giving them ample time to react, both Akito and Lorius pushed back both Seol and Allen with their own attack.
"What? I don't understand? I thought you would choose Seol as your opponent?" Said by Allen
"That kind of thinking is the reason why people like you are so easy to decieve" Retorted by Akito
"Well this is surprising" Reacted by Seol
"Indeed! Your far more weaker than I imagined" taunted by Lorius.
With each of them facing their respective opponent's, both battles begun their clash as they went all out with their attacks.
First off Akito charged at Allen with immense speed as he quickly dodged all of the sword waves that Allen sent his way and easily sneak beside him to deliver a decisive blow. However Allen easily saw through his tricks and block his attack, only to be shocked once more when Akito used his block as the foundation to connect his second attack.
"Tomura's Second offensive sword form Takai kinchō (High Strung)"
However despite this, Akito failed to pierce through his defenses, as Allen's aura which served as his armor, manage to block his attack and gave ample time for Allen to dish out his own attack.
"Grand Cross!!!"
"Tomura's Second defensive sword form Bunkatsu katto (Splitting Cut)"
In response to Allen's aggressive attacks, Akito cuts through his mana using his technique, which saved him from getting blasted away by Allen's attack. However Allen had already prepared for this counter as he switched his stance and released another powerful blow.
"Aura Blast!!!"
With a thrusting motion, Akito was sent flying as the laser like attack squarely hit the flat side of his sword.
At the same time on another battlefield, Lorius is sending blows after blows towards Seol, forcing the latter to enter a defensive position and barely blocking Lorius attack.
In that moment when Seol made her counter attack, Lorius actually kicked the rock beneath him towards the spears trajectory in order to change the direction of Seol's attack.
After that he then grabbed Seol by the face, as he smashed her head to the ground and dragged her across the field, before throwing her to a nearby Boulder. As if that wasn't enough Lorius landed another barrage of attacks on Seol before he straight up punched her guts and finally used a spell.
"Electric Shock!!!"
Just like that Seol was electrocuted on the spot, as she endured the pain and released her mana to deter Lorius spell.
After that she held her spear and swung it down in brute force.
"Dominating Slash!!!"
However the moment she did this, Lorius had already blinked away as he sent multiple spells towards her.
"Fire ball! Aqua spear! Wind blade! Boulder shot!"
Seeing this, Seol quickly kicks up her spear and used her technique to destroy all of Lorius attacks.
"Void Step! Dragon Thrust!"
But the moment she went and et close to Lorius, a smile crept up his face as he snapped his fingers.
"Switch!"
"Tomura's Second defensive sword form Bunkatsu katto (Splitting Cut)"
In that moment Akito appeared before her as he directly neutralized her attack and begun his own barrage of swings that surprised Seol causing various slashto appear on her bare skin.
Unknown to them Lorius used a spell to switch both his and Akito position in orderto confuse the enemy. Due to this Akito was able to appear fast enough to redirect Seol's spear.
At the same moment when Allen charged towards the area where he believed Akito had crash landed, he was then met with various of spells detonating all around him, causing a huge chain of explosions.
After surviving that ambush, before he could even figure out what was happening, Lorius suddenly dropped down from the sky with an attack, which sent Allencrashing downtown the ground.
"(Martial Skill) Heavens Drop!!!"
After crushing down, Lorius suddenly blinked right infront of Allen and blasted him away with a shockwave spell that senthim crashing through multiple rocks.
After that Lorius casted another spell and launched it towards Allen.
"Water blast!!!"
However in that moment Allen did the impossible and split the attack in mid air.
Afterwards using his mana, he shoot back towards Lorius in a blink of an eye and released a devastating attack that overpowered most of Akito's technique.
"Grand Cross!!!"
However Lorius layered barrier was strong enough to actually block the attack, so after getting out from that predicament, he then prepared to cast another spell, only to be interrupted when Allen suddenly appeared beside him and with an attack following after.
"Grand Cross!!!"
This time Lorius raised multiple layer of earthen wall to shield himself from Allen's attack, before finishing his spell and launching it towards Allen.
"Hurricane!!!"
"Grand Cross!!!"
As two attacks collides, a huge explosion erupted followed by a shockwave that pushed back both Allen and Lorius.
At the same moment, Akito sensed the explosion from afar followed by a powerful gust of wind as he quickly dashed towards Seol and prepared his next attack.
"Tomura's Sixth offensive sword form Shu no honō (vermillion blaze)"
Buy before he could get to his opponent, Lorius made a switch again and having Akito appear right on top of Allen.
In that very moment a tidal waveof flames engulfed Allen to an attack he didn't saw coming.
At the same time Lorius caught Seolby surprise by ambushing her with prepared spells before the switch, causing Seol to be blasted away by his attacks.
Just like that both Allen and Seol had a hard time of even adapting to this switcheroo that Lorius is doing.
