Gourmet World Island(Speed Demon Zack, Chaotic Rumble)

Ayeseru sighed deeply and chuckled.  I'm just gonna let the lad win, doubt I could beat him in general speed regardless of what I do.  He sat there for the next few minutes, just letting the rain touch his face.  It wasn't a heavy rain, well, at least not when compared to what he had to face beforehand.  Ayeseru simply enjoyed the gentle touch of the rain dropping on his skin.
Not all things could last forever, though.  The island they encountered just now was only the first of seven, and though they already had one of the ingredients, or materials rather, there was still much more to do.  Ayeseru sighed deeply.  It was the first time he had ever gone on such a tough mission since he gained his sudden burst of amazing power, but he was enjoying it.  What he was doing now had only been told in stories, and perhaps a story would be written on Zack and him about what they did with the seven islands.
He smiled.  "Well, I suppose it's time to get down there already, and find out which island we'll be going to next."

Ayeseru picked up the giant red eye of the Big Bang Shark and loaded it on his back, ran to the side of the island and jumped.  Normally, a jump of such incredible height would kill just about any mage, however, Ayeseru also possessed the ability of flight, it simply wasn't as grand, and Ayeseru could not fly anywhere he wanted to with it.
About fifty feet from the ground, Ayeseru activated his flight ability.  Shadow Dragon's Wings.  He had no time to extend his arms, as a black magical crest with a dragons head in the middle appears below his feet.  As soon as that's done and the magical crest disappears, a black magical energy finds its way to Ayeseru's back, giving him dark black wings made out of pure shadows.

Only ten feet away from the ground, Ayeseru had to flap his wings as hard as he could, just to even soften the blow he received from landing on the ground; nothing too major, the soles of his feet were slightly sore but that was about it.  He sighed and would lay the Big Bang Shark's eye right next to where Zack laid his, and judging by the look of how Ayeseru was faring so well he was obviously surprised.
He looked over to the smith.  "Well, the first island is done; we got the eye of the Big Bang Shark, one for each of us.  Now, care to explain which island we'll be going to next?", the smith nodded.  "As I explained to your friend just now, the next island your friend has in mind is the Isle of Beasts, ruled by the mighty Battlewolf whose claw I require.  The beast bases his attacks on speed if I do recall correctly."

Ayeseru couldn't help but let out a small giggle.  "In that case, it's gonna be perfect for us, Zack in particular.", he turned to Zack, "Ready to go, partner?"

Zack nodded. Speed was his game and if some wolf was supposedly the 'speed beast' then he would match his speed to them. He would show this Battlewolf why he was known as the Speed Demon of Blue Pegasus. He kicked off the ground flying upwards once more. This island was dominated by forest and jungle unlike the Isle of Fish which was covered in lakes and empty space. He landed atop a tree and was immediately forced to leap back as a rather buff panda with some sort of exercise device leapt at him. It was a close run thing, but Zack's sense of the area around him was enough to give him the warning and combined with his speed he was able to dodge. "So we have some exercise obsessed panda." he said but almost landed on the back of some weird leopard/octopus creature. Seriously what was it with octopus hybrids today? He leapt off its back swiftly as it roared out  in anger. It seemed that it had summoned two other weird cat-like creatures with its roar. These were giant tigers, but they had three faces like the famous demons of Asura.

"And now an ocpald and some asura tigers." he said hovering there just out of their range. It was an interesting range of opponents. All of them, except the panda, were gigantic. Easily the size of the octpus kong or perhaps the size even of the landshark in the case of the ocpald. Yet they were dominated by the trees which rivalled some small mountains he'd seen. None of them looked particularly speedy and none of them were wolves so they weren't the target, but by the angry look on their face they were pretty pissed he'd invaded their territory. They wouldn't leave him alone. He'd have to take them out. Well, they'd have to take them out or at least knock them out. Most of his spells weren't ready to be re-used yet, but he had a few he could if necessary. For now though he'd rely on physicality. He had speed and he had strength.

"Hey Expanda wanna wrestle?" Zack said and flew at the panda like a bullet. The panda was taken by surprise and knocked from the tree with Zack on top of him. Zack slammed him into the ground and then sprung off using the force of his body to do even more damage. That panda wouldn't be getting up immediately. It wasn't out of the fight, but it wasn't a threat at this moment. The two large asura tigers began to stalk towards him. "Hmmm as you remind me of demons I wonder if my magic is extra effective?" He mused as he prepared to fight them. It was a good point if you thought about it. The asura were demons. He was a demon slayer. Therefore he should have an advantage right? Then again maybe they just looked kind of demonic. It was possible. Right? Not that Zack thought things through that much. He was just curious. "Let's find out after all, curiosity killed the cat right?" With that he began to fly at one of the Asura tigers.

Ayeseru sighed deeply.  Yet again, Zack had taken off the ground and made him figure out yet another crazy way to get to the island.  All of the islands were floating islands, though the island they were going for was slightly lower than the others.  Ayeseru assumed eighty or ninety feet before he'd grab the side of the island terrain.  If that's the case...  I can use my wings in order to fly up there, and since technically I'll be standing on ground...  My wings shouldn't de-spell, and I'll be able to climb my way to the top!
Ayeseru nodded.  He knew exactly what he wanted to do.  "Well, Mr. Smith, it'd be helpful if you had a way to give those who don't exactly specialize in flying a way to get to these islands, but eh, I'll probably ask you next time for a jetpack or something." he looked back at the smith and smirked.
Ayeseru kicked off the ground as hard as he could, leaving a small crater behind him and took off, flying into the wind.  It was one of those few times Ayeseru would soar in the air, and quite frankly he enjoyed it a lot.  He was slightly jealous of Zack's ability to fly freely.

He sighed and shrugged it off as he got to the side of the island terrain; it was rocky and sturdy, perfect for rock climbing!  And his theory proved to be correct, the last thing he was on previously serves as his official "ground".  He didn't want to get up there the easy way, though.  No, that would be far too boring.  Instead, he would rock climb to the top!
The holds and feet varied greatly - one section had holds that were even smaller than dimes, while another section had holds that were the sizes of ovens, and then came your standard sized hold, which was about as big as your hand.  However, he came across a rather...  Complicated section, so to speak.
Ayeseru came across holds nearly the size of dimes; they were slightly bigger than dimes, but not by a whole lot.  This "issue" was near the top of the island terrain, meaning that this was the last section before Ayeseru would actually stand on the island.

Once he grabbed the tiny handholds he had, the next move would mean a five meter jump, since the last five meters of terrain were completely flat.  He could just dig his fingers into the side of the terrain or fly, but that would be boring and cheating as well. Ayeseru wanted to do this the traditional way.
He pinched the two handholds with all of his might; his feet planted and prepared to explode from his location. He slowly rocked sideways before doing the movement of a jump, three times before actually jumping. Ayeseru exploded from his location and grabbed the ground of the island with his right hand! However, there was a problem, he had grabbed it with only the tip of two fingers.
He was slipping off. If he didn't have a way to reverse it he'd have to cheat, and well, Ayeseru could never live with that. Using his left hand to rest his palm on the flat bit, Ayeseru used it to push off; normally he'd do that to preform a flag, however, he pushed so incredibly hard his body continued moving upwards, and Ayeseru landed on his feet on the island.

He sighed. Man, I really wanted to do a proper flag... There was no time to waste, however. Ayeseru could tell that there was commotion and battle taking place by how everything sounded. He caught Zack's scent, and rushed to the location, flying with his wings.

As he came close to the first asura tiger he swept both of his arms suddenly firing off three crescent shaped 5ft wide blades of near invisible air at the tiger. It seemed to noticed the slight ripple in the air and swept its paw as if to try and swat the invisible attack. The wind of its passage was strong and managed to deflect half the claws, but the rest hit the beasts paw and it roared out in agony. Its roars and the damage seemed a lot greater than what he would expect based on the damage the attack could cause. It seemed that it had received extra damage. It had demon's blood. That was certainly interesting. Yet his attacks weren't over yet. He hadn't stopped when he fired the claws off, but kept going so shortly after they hit its paw he hit its central face with a powerful headbutt that actually sent the beast flying back into one of the trees. He shook his head. That thing had quite a hard head. He floated there for a moment gazing at the other asura tiger who was roaring angrily.

"What am I forgetting?" he said to himself and then suddenly he was sent flying through two of the giant trees by a powerful tentacle swipe from the creature he had dubbed the ocpald. He slowly rose to his feet, his clothes still immaculate, and a look of comprehension came onto his face. "Ah yeah...the ocpald." The ocpald was definitely stronger than the asura tigers. Of that he was certain. However, it also lacked any demonic resemblance. He doubted it had any demonic blood at all which meant his attacks wouldn't be super effective like they had been on the asura tiger. "Ah well...more fun for me." He would definitely have fun with the ocpald if the foe wasn't stolen. Yet first he wanted to take care of the asura tigers. The first one he'd hit pretty hard and pissed off majorly. The other was also pissed though uninjured.

He flew like an arrow towards the injured one which let out a powerful howl before hurling a large clod of earth at him. He punched through it expecting the beast to still be in place, but it had merely used the clod as a distraction and instead had ran at him. So when he broke the clod he came face to face with its paw which sent him flying. Yet that wasn't the worst of it. It sent him flying straight into the path of the other asura tiger who slammed him to the ground knocking the wind out of him. It leaned down with its head ready to bite him with one of its three faces. It looked like it was all over for Zack. Or so it seemed.

"Needlestorm." he said and fired off a spray of 20 very weak needles of wind. They were very weak. This was one of his weakest spells and normally it wouldn't do much. Yet this spray was demon slaying wind and the spray stabbed it in four of its eyes causing it to leap back in agony and roar out in pain. That was enough time for him to get up in his still pristine clothing. "Never thought that would come in so much use." He wondered where Ayeseru was. Had he not been able to get onto the island this time?

magic:

The island this time was quite different than the first one Zack and Ayeseru had encountered.  Whilst the first one was in a fairly open space with hardly any tree and many lakes, this one was quite the opposite.  Ayeseru hadn't seen any lakes so far and has only seen trees.  He smirked.
This is perfect.  I've got a nice advantage in this area, though using my mobility spells might be a problem...  Also, there's the fact I fought not too long ago.  Because of Ayeseru's previous encounter with the Big Bang Shark and the Isle of Fish, there were plenty of spells that were not quite ready to be re-used.  He sighed and heard angry roars coming not too far from him, and Zack's scent grew closer and closer.
"Let's get this show on the road!" Ayeseru shouted whilst he entered a fairly open area for the island they were on.  The scene was quite odd to him, though after roaming around in the Isle of Fish he was more accustomed to odd creatures or whatever it was they were to see.

A buffed up panda, it almost appeared to be on steroids.  Two giant tigers, but with three faces.  A tigers head on a octopus body, and there was Zack who was already battling the creatures.  "What's with the strange creatures today, and all of the octopus creatures?  Also, you alright there Zack?" he asked because he noticed several scratches on his face, however, he also noticed that all the monsters shared on similar trait - they were all pissed off to the max.
Their small reunion was interrupted when the panda charged at Ayeseru.  Judging the fact it hardly released any magical energy and it didn't appear to be big or strong, Ayeseru deemed it to be the weakest.  He also had an idea, which probably wasn't the brightest though he was determined.
When the panda got close enough, he engaged it in a wrestling match.  The panda was extremely powerful, and its strength came as a shock to Ayeseru since his strength was also super heightened to dragon-like levels.

Ayeseru was pushing with all of his might, even so, the panda was able to lift him off his feet and throw him to a nearby tree which nearly snapped upon impact; all he had to soften the blow was his wings.  He groaned lightly and sighed.  Took him on too lightly...  Just when I thought I could have some wrestling fun.  He stood up firmly and gave  the panda a glare.  "God damn you for being so strong."
It appeared to have some comprehension of the English language because it actually smiled when Ayeseru said that, only to shortly cough up blood and fall straight on the ground when Ayeseru flew at him at his maximum speed; both running and flying at the same time to strike its groin.

He looked at Zack, and then the remaining foes.  They were easily the size of at least the Octodads Ayeseru faced previously.  He punched his fists together and gave a half smile, showing half of his sharp dragon-like teeth.  "Right now, who is next?"

It seemed the ex panda had been less damaged than he thought. It had managed to get up and prove a challenge to Ayeseru in a match of strength. Surprising in truth. Few could match a slayer's strength, particularly one as powerful as Ayeseru. Zack, even as a powerful S rank demon slayer, didn't think he could match the man in terms of strength. Even if he gained H rank magical ability his sheer strength was not quite the same. Zack's strength was not power, but speed. That and his skill. Plus a lot of people would say his foolhardiness though others would say it was a weakness.

He'd blinded one of the tigers in four of its eyes and the other had a damage paw. Both were pissed and he also had the ocpald to contend with. He kind of wanted to fight that himself, but right now he had other fish to fry. "Hey Ayseru. You deal with the ocpald. These itty bitty kitty cats are mine." he said and then stood between them a grin on his face. There was a clod of dirt in each hand which he threw at the beasts enraging them into charging at him. At the last second Zack kicked off the ground at high speed narrowly avoiding them and causing the two to collide. That was all the opening he needed. "SKY DEMON'S HOWL." he shouted and launching the huge blast of demon slaying wind. It was wide enough and fast enough that it hit both of them. The blast was so intense and full of such demon slaying wind that it sliced the two into pieces. What was left was destroyed by the 66ft radius explosion that occured whenever it hit a target with magic. The beam itself had continued quite far into the ground creating a deep hole. Not all the way through the island, but quite far.

"Ooops...guess I overdid that a little bit." He said with a grin rubbing the back of his head. He was actually quite impressed at his own power. Normally rock and ground was tricky for him to break, but obviously his power had grown. He was also dissapointed that the cat's hadn't survived. Perhaps using one of his strongest demon slaying spells was not a good idea. Particularly when they were already weakened from other demon slaying attacks. He then realised something. Both had touched him. They would of been weakened by his poisonous blood. He really shouldn't of gone all out like that if he wanted to prolong the battle. Then again he didn't want to waste time with these guys when he had a wolf to hunt. "I'm gonna go try and find the battlewolf. Enjoy the ocpald." He'd seen Ayeseru fight before. The beast was probably the equal of the landshark in terms of raw power and Ayeseru had dealt with that quite easily. Well relatively anyway.

As he flew off he was forced to suddenly leap to the side as another expanda, this one with a pair of dumbells leapt at him trying to smash him. He dodged out of the way and then his senses caught onto something that was quite annoying. Four more asura tigers and another ocpald. "And not one of you is even close to being a wolf." he said with dissapointment. He was looking forward to matching his speed with the so called speed beast.

Ayeseru sighed deeply but was impressed with Zack's ability to take down both of the enormous tigers in a single blow.  For an odd reason which Ayeseru was unable to comprehend at the time, the tigers appeared to be...  Sensitive, so to speak, to Zack's magic.  He ran off when the tiger were in pieces, leaving the octopus-tiger hybrid to Ayeseru.  His body was still sore, and Ayeseru felt a magical energy equal to the Land Shark he encountered previously, about as large as well.
He sighed deeply.  He handled a Land Shark quite swiftly and easily, however, he had more spells in his arsenal at the time, then again, he was also far more damaged at the time, and now, despite being sore, he could move quite swiftly.
The octopus-tiger roared out and whipped its tentacles Ayeseru's way.  He sighed; easily spotting the tentacles unlike the Land Shark's attacks.  Side step after side step after side step...  This is no fun.  It's far too slow.  I want to find the Battlewolf.  Anything other than the rulers of the island are far too easy.  Also...  These octopus-tiger hybrids?  Octotigers!

Ayeseru sighed deeply.  When he side stepped yet another one of the Octotigers lashes he back flipped onto its tentacle.  Its body structure was slightly odd, too.  It used its tentacles as its entire torso and bottom section, meaning that the tentacles directly connected to its head and that was it.
He flew up the tentacles with his wings and rammed his entire body through its eye, causing it to roar in pain and agony.  Ayeseru was now inside of the Octotigers head.  Quite frankly it was disgusting with all of the goo and blood, and there was always the option for Ayeseru to suffocate if he didn't find the target he was looking for; no sooner did he come across it - the Octotigers brain.

It was enormous - easily the size of a few large boulders combined, if not, even bigger.  Normally, Ayeseru would've smirked but he didn't want any of the beasts fluids touching the inside of his mouth, and instead began his spell.  Ayeseru gathers shadows anddarkness from around him and draws it towards his right hand, making a dark magic circle appear at his finger tips which ends up going through his entire arm, which at that point, shadows cloak Ayeseru's arm in a form of a dagger.  He then uses some shadows to give him a boost to charge at the Octotigers brain whilst he is flying towards the foe with great speed and using the boost combined.

It was a clean cut; Ayeseru went straight through one side of the brain and out of the other.  Instantly, all movement ceased, and Ayeseru felt a falling movement.  Just like that, the Octotiger was dead in a single shot.  Of course, it wouldn't be possible if it was with any other organ.  Ayeseru shook from inside of its head when it fully fell and hit the ground, the impact so great it shook a radius of a mile.  It was also when it fell that Ayeseru retreated back to the eye socket he had gone through.
He was like an arrow and instantly shot from the eye socket.  Blood and goo would drip from him and he sighed deeply.  He found a nearby pond and dove straight into it to wash himself off.  From inside, however, he was greeted with a nasty surprise.
Three of the giant tigers apparently had the same idea as himself and were washing themselves away inside of the pond.  They had shark-like senses because when Ayeseru dove in they smelled the blood and instantly went after him.

Luckily enough Ayeseru has his very own dragon-like senses which enabled him to to out of the pond just in time.  Each of the tigers jumped straight at him, though due to coming from water and how high Ayeseru was they were unable to get him.  One of the tigers managed to graze his legs with its claws which was surprising to Ayeseru.
Each of the tigers could be seen standing right outside the pond, and they were pissed.
"Well now...  You're all weaker than the Octotiger, but in numbers you're more powerful.  Entertain me, why don'tcha?"

'Monster Dice' :

Zack observed the beasts briefly. They were roaring and howling wanting to attack him. That was something he knew. He also knew that he would need to use his weapons to bring these down. He hadn't wanted to use them again so soon, but his hand was forced. He lifted up his eyes patch and pulled out the black sword Nobility of Notus. He held it at his side and considered for a second whether to bring out his other blade. No, one should be enough for now he decided as he dodged another swift, but powerful blow from the expanda. Strangely it seemed that whilst the asura tiger's and ocpald were pissed at him they were actually letting the expanda fight him. Very strange. Perhaps some form of honor? The panda got their first so they would wait to see what happened? Or perhaps they felt the panda would be enough and if it was then he wasn't worth of their time. That pissed him off slightly. He never underestimated an opponent and hated being underestimated. This time when the panda came at him he didn't even attempt to dodge. Instead he moved his blade at the last second to the beast impaled itself upon it. He got a bit of a blow from one of the dumbells causing him to cough up a small amount of blood. He suspected a broken rib, but his immortal blood should deal with that providing he didn't put too much strain on it.

"Catch." he said and kicked the expanda with all his might straight at one of the four asura tigers who batted it out of the air like it was some piece of trash. He shook his head and stared at the four asura tigers. The ocpald had slunk back and the four tigers were approaching him growling and snarling like the beasts they were. It seemed ocpalds were not ones for direct confrontation preferring to attack whilst the target was distracted. It was odd as they were far stronger than the asura tigers. One asura tiger was cake and two wasn't too difficult. Three was hard and four was very hard. In order to beat them without wasting too much magic power he either had to hit them all with the same spell, use physicality or somehow use them against eachother. He'd done that once before with the previous asura tigers. He'd got them to hit eachother before blasting them to pieces. These ones however would be trickier due to their being twice as many. There had to be a way to defeat them swiftly without using too much magic power or stamina. These thoughts passed through his head, but rather than standing and thinking he, as usual, acted upon his instincts. He flew towards one of them and then suddenly changed his aim and flew upwards dodging a powerful claw strike by pure fluke. He landed atop the creature's back and it attempted to shake him off, but he was using his wind magic's flight ability to hold him in place. To his surprise none of the other tigers tried to swat him off or leap at him. His instincts had told him there was a chance they might and he could use that to get them to attack the tiger he was standing on. Sadly, it seemed his instincts, for once, were mistaken. He kicked off the tiger's back doing very minor damage due to the force and flew at one his sword aimed forward so he was like a spear.

"Let's see how fast you are." he murmured. "At least i'm getting a good warmup before the battlewolf." The beast he aimed at swung its paw to strike him, but Zack had altered his speed slightly at the last second slowing him down so that the swipe missed barely and instead the paw got a sword rammed through it. He wedged his feet against the paw and kicked off before the beast had a chance to react. The beast was weakened now. Not by much, but enough to slow it down a little and limit its options.

Magic:

Ayeseru sighed deeply.  His leg was bleeding and below him would stand three enormous tigers.  Handling them one on one would be childs play, handling them two on one wouldn't be the hardest thing, though not the easiest, three on one would be rather difficult.  Once again, Ayeseru sighed deeply, he wasn't entirely sure how he wanted to dispose of these beasts with minimal effort and time wasted; the tigers weren't his target, and judging by the loud roar the Octotiger made previously he suspected creatures would be drawn to his location very shortly after.
Ayeseru had no time to think - the beasts were already lashing out at him and they had solid ground to jump from.  With powerful hind legs to jump from, Ayeseru was caught in a swipe of one of the tigers paws, sending him flying till he hit a tree, went straight through it, and crashed in a nearby rock, breaking it instantly as hit spine and back would hit it with tremendous force, sending dust, dirt and debris into the air, covering the scene.  Ayeseru groaned in pain, his already sore body was getting more sore after hardly taking a rest from combat.

Ayeseru had nothing to heal himself with and Zack was elsewhere, most likely battling other beasts of the island.  He heard vibrating footsteps coming closer and closer to his location.  Ayeseru had to take down as many tigers as possible before his foes also entered the battle.
Ayeseru took flight from where he had fallen and was soaring twenty five meters in the air.  The tigers appeared to be only half of their actual size from where he was, and couldn't help but laugh.  From up where he was, Ayeseru had some time to think.  Right now...  Three enormous tigers and more beasts are approaching, judging from the footsteps that are approaching...  The best way to get rid of these kittens is by having them attack each other...  But how do I do that?  Ayeseru was staring down at the beasts as they jumped up to him, nearly catching him, though they didn't have enough strength to jump that high.

Ayeseru flicked his fingers when he had an idea, diving down to the crowd of tigers who at the time were all in a triangle formation, Ayeseru aiming for the middle of that formation.  Ayeseru was hoping for the tigers to be dumb enough to follow the small script he created in his head, and, well, everything was spot on.
All of the tigers had the exact same idea to jump for Ayeseru, attempting to catch him.  Of course, they wouldn't because of his speed flying down or, well, they would if they hadn't all jumped at once, smacking their head and faces against each other, making a biting motion with their faces in order to bite Ayeseru in half, but instead they bit each others faces, causing them to howl in pain.
Ayeseru smirked and went to a nearby tree, hiding within its shadows to make himself practically invisible.  When all of the tigers landed, they began attacking each other, believing their allies to intentionally hurt them.  Claws, jaws, everything coming into play as the tigers destroyed one and the other.  There was a winner, though he too was near death as it looked out for Ayeseru.  Then, came the footsteps - two more Octotigers and two more regular tigers.  Ayeseru smirked.  This is going to be fun...

Sorry if the post is not as detailed as the others, but I had to rush this one

The member 'Chaotic Rumble' has done the following action : Dice Rolls

'Monster Dice' :

Four large asura tigers. One very mildly injured, one quite heavily injured. The other two were uninjured. Plus he had the ocpald to deal with as well. A difficult situation. They were probably too large to be effected by his best group control spell. If he could get the tigers into a line he could probably take them all out at once with one of his best spells. Then again, why use so much magic power. He backed off a good distance keeping his eyes on the beasts so began to slowly walk towards him. He grinned and flew forwards at high speed. Just as he was about to strike the first beast though he vanished, narrowly avoiding its claw swipe, and appeared back where he started from though still moving at the same high speed. This time he got into range of the beast quicker because he was still accelerating. The beast was too slow to react, but Zack didn't attack it. Instead he vanished once more and appeared above one of the undamaged tiger's and impaled his sword straight through its skull. The blow had enough speed and power to kill the beast instantly.

It had been a good idea to use Heaven's fury. It had been a spur of the moment thing but it had taught him that his teleport could have offensive purposes if used correctly. He'd used it to strike the big bang shark twice and stop himself dying from hitting the ground at super sonic speed. This time he'd used the fact he didn't lose momentum and could also change direction with the teleport to deliver a high speed, high power blow when the beast couldn't defend itself. It needed a cool name though he decided as he pulled his sword from the skull of the beast. "Sky Demon's Deception." he said loudly. The other beasts were roaring out in anger. He grinned and leapt up backflipped over a large chunk of tree that had been thrown by the ocpald. It seemed it wanted to get involved now. Perhaps he'd shown that the asura tigers would be no match for him and so it had got involved to try and even the odds. It was possible. Annoying that it hadn't thought him a threat before and annoying it had decided to get involved before he'd dealt with the asura tigers though.

Now he had three asura tigers left. One that had its paw severely damaged and was actually limping a bit as it approached. One which had a bit of bruising due to him using it as a spring board and the third which was undamaged. Two were quite close to eachother though. He grinned and blew into his free hand beginning to form a sphere of wind. The three tigers began to pick up their pace and he was forced to move back and dodge another blow from the ocpald. He flew upwards suddenly and the three beasts began to circle below him. It was an impressive sight to see three large tigers waiting for him. Suddenly he dropped down into the middle of them. They weren't stupid enough to leap like the one's Ayeseru had fought but they were dumb enough to swipe their paws at him. He was too quick though and leapt straight back up, narrowly missing the paws. One caught his leg in fact and that hurt like hell, but that just got its paw soaked in his blood. A big mistake. Yet not so big as staying together. As he leapt he threw down the sphere which had formed into a large fuuma shuriken. It hit one on the paw slicing into it, but then exploded making a 20ft radius sphere full of cutting blades that sliced into the three tigers who were all close enough to take the impact. The one that had received the poisoning was killed by the attack. The other two were heavily damaged, but still in the fight if only just. They wouldn't be as big a threat for now.

Ayeseru sighed deeply.  Lurking within the shadows of the trees, he remained undetected.  In his small section would be five beasts; four enormous three headed tigers, one of which was an inch away from his death bed, and a single octopus-tiger hybrid which Ayeseru called Octotiger.  He stared at the scenery in front of him, inspecting it closely; Ayeseru wasn't generally one to be tactical, he loves simply to join in on a brawl and have fun.  This time was different, though, he tried that with the first island he came across and was nearly killed by the ruler there.
He decided that until he encountered the island monster ruler, in this case, the Battlewolf, he would be as tactical as possible, avoiding injury if an option and disposing of the beasts swiftly and effectively whilst conserving as much energy as possible.  I always knew I had this thinking side of me...  But everything is so boring to figure out when you're not out there in the heat of the moment...  If only I had brought Yaksha...

Yaksha was Ayeseru's special spear, crafted by Sapphiron's claw, a very powerful weapon indeed, though, for some strange reason, he wasn't able to find it for this particular job, which made him lightly face palm.  Right, now...  I charge in, take out the severely damaged tiger in a single hit...  Try to avoid the tigers and Octotiger if it decides to join in on the battle...  Strike 'em with regular hits, seeing as my Dragon Slayer strength is absolutely incredible...  Oh!  Of course!
Ayeseru smirked.  It was time to begin.  His wings were gone by now, so his ability to fly was now gone as well, though that didn't matter at this point.  Ayeseru had a highly enhanced body due to Sapphiron's teaching which is why when he was swiped earlier by the enormous tiger he didn't die instantly, and in fact it did only moderate damage to him, and because of his enhanced body he was able to preform superhuman feats.

He jumped off the trunk of the tree, causing it to snap instantly as he flew like an arrow towards the side of the already near dead tiger, breaking its ribs upon impact and making it howl in pain as it fell over, knocked out or dead, Ayeseru didn't bother to take time to examine it.  The Octotiger appeared to be standing back, clearly stronger than any other beast however letting the lower beings attack Ayeseru, as though it had a sense of honor, or it was simply a coward.
When a tiger was preparing to jump Ayeseru, he smirked, his body turning into a black form as it sunk into the ground like quicksand, the tiger slashing at his shadowy body though causing no harm to him.

Confused, the tiger had no idea it had a shadow wrapped around its body, and felt a mysterious pain in its backside.  Ayeseru had headbutted its back, though it didn't understand this.  Meanwhile, another one of the tigers had noticed it and jumped on its back, ripping it apart.
The beast howled in pain and Ayeseru did the same thing, but this time, on the top of its head.  The other tiger had seen it and gone after its head, chomping it in a few bites, removing the head off the tiger as its body would fall to the ground, beheaded.  Meanwhile, Ayeseru wrapped his shadowy body around the Octotiger.  This is working out perfectly...

NOTE: I rushed this again. I'm a tad bit busy, but I need to post for ya, so I hope it ain't too terrible.

Zack was in the air still and the two damaged tigers were below him he quickly flew down and kicked one hard in the head. The blow wasn't enough to bring it down, but it dazed it further. He kicked off of it straight at the other which he head butted hard. He dropped down to the ground and then back flipped and kicked it in the jaw. His strength was enough to knock the beast unconcious in its weakened state. It seemed though that the ocpald was not taking none of this and hurled an entire tree at Zack sending him flying backwards through not one, but two other trees. His ribs hurt like hell from that. It also gave the remaining asura tiger time to recover and it came charging at him. Zack barely had a chance to react. He quickly blew on himself using his B rank heal once more. He wouldn't of been able to keep going on without it.

He managed to get out of the tree debris just in time to get batted to the side by the tiger slicing his arm. It was now weakened by his poison. He flew backwards from the impact, but flipped in the air and planted his feet against a partially spring tree branch and used it as a spring to send him flying at the now poisoned beast. He struck it right in the centre of its main face with his sword impaling it in the brain. The beast was out now.

All he had left was the ocpald which had hurled another tree at him. This one he dodged out of the way of. He grinned. "You really should stop giving me presents." Zack said and flew at the beast. As he got closer the beast let out a roar and swung one of its tentacle-like legs at him. It was faster then he expected and sent him flying to the side. However, he had also brought his sword up in time so the tentacle was sliced into by its own impact. He grinned. That was something he always enjoying doing. Making an opponent hurt themselves. Sure he got hurt too, but as he flew backwards he had swung out his damaged arm and sprayed blood on its face. Now it was poisoned. It however hadn't noticed as it was too busy slamming the ground in anger and pain at its damaged leg. Zack hit a tree, but had managed to flip round enough to land his feet against it. His legs were strong from years of running so he was able to take the damage without too much of a grimace. The tentacle strike has been what really damaged him. Maybe he'd used his heal too early. No, if he hadn't of used it he would of been tiger chow.

"I'd like to play longer, but I have a wolf to hunt." Zack said as he lunged himself at the beast. As he did he lifted his eyepatch and pulled out his other sword. The beast tried to bring its tentacles up to try and batter him away, but its vigor was severely weakened by the poison so Zack was more than capable of slicing through the tentacles. With only four tentacle remaining he hit it with a headbutt and tottered it over. He lifted both blades and stabbed them in multiple times at high speed. It wasn't elegant it wasn't precise but he didn't have time for that.

He stood atop its corpse and rose to his feet his swords in hand to see four of the buff pandas arriving riding the backs of two asura tigers. It seemed these ones had teamed up. That was a pain. Still with them grouped together he could easily thing the numbers of the expandas. Plus there were no more ocpalds...yet.

Ayeseru was humming away a tune in his mind whilst the giant tigers were searching around frantically for Ayeseru in fear.  The Octotiger was also beginning to worry, not noticing the shadowy body of Ayeseru on top of its head.  How could it?  By the way its body was designed there was no real way for him to detect Ayeseru in such a fashion.
When Ayeseru made a human figure out of his shadow, the same process as before repeated itself, only this time, it was between two giant tigers going up against a stronger, but single octopus-tiger hybrid.
When one of the tigers noticed Ayeseru's shadowy figure on top of the head of the Octotiger, it instantly began climbing up its tentacles, digging its claws in its flesh, causing it to roar in pain.  Believing the tiger to be attacking it, lifting its tentacle up high, it slammed the tiger to the ground....  With its tentacle on the tiger, and it repeated the process multiple times.

Generally, there is an "honor bound" rule, or so Ayeseru guessed, between these beasts.  According to what Ayeseru had seen, the monsters of the island they were on would fight according to how strong they were.  If a stronger monster than themselves on the scale would arrive, the weaker ones would have to battle, rather than the other way around, where the stronger ones would protect the weak.
Ayeseru sighed deeply.  What cowardly monsters...  Unless they want the lower beings to "prove" themselves.  Ayeseru shook his head.  The other tiger, also noticing Ayeseru's shadowy body, properly running up the tentacle of the Octotiger, running up to its head quickly and instantly taking a lunge where Ayeseru's shadowy body is, naturally, passing straight through it and attacking the top of the head of the Octotiger.

The Octotiger roared in absolute agony.  It attempted to shake the tiger off to no avail.  It was biting and chewing away at the Octotiger's head with claws dug deep within the meat of the beast.  Ayeseru was faking pain to give the monster more motivation to dig deeper and deeper within the Octotigers head, and because of all of the blood that was coming on out it was taking the bait.
Eventually, the tiger dug deep enough to reach the actual skull of the beast, and Ayeseru smirked, moving away from the area making the tiger go after him.  Ayeseru used his shadow body to crawl down of the Octotiger's tentacles and into a nearby tree; the tiger followed closely, however, when it touched the ground, full of fury, it was ripped in half by the Octotiger, using two of its tentacles.

Ayeseru smirked from the shadows.  He was measuring his options as two more amazingly powerful pandas came into the scene, two more Octotigers and another single tiger.  He smirked.  Two pandas, three Octotigers one near death, and another single three headed tiger...  Hmmm... To be perfectly honest, Ayeseru wasn't sure what to do, and a lot of his next actions would be done completely out of instinct and the heat of the moment.

'Monster Dice' :

Four expandas all equipped with different exercise equipment and twsecond had two dumbells, the third had a full bar bell and the fourth had two kettlebells. They wo more asura tigers. One of the pandas had one of those stretching things like the first one, the ere no match for what he had planned next. The asura tigers might be effected as well. He wasn't sure. He needed to lure them in close so he flew at them and landed in the middle of the four expandas. The first one leapt at him punching out with its dumbell and he deflected it with his sword. The blow was strong and drove him back, but it didn't do much damage. He spun round as he sensed the approach of another one of the expands. This one was swinging the bar bell like a sword. He blocked parried the blow and that was when the other two leapt at him. That was when he swept his arms.

"Demonic twister." he said and suddenly a 400ft tall, 60ft wide(at its widest point) twister of demon slaying cutting wind formed sucking in the pandas, but seemingly not touching Zack at all. As the pandas were sucked in the wind began to slice into them slicing them up. Struggle as they might they had no way to escape the wind. It was Zack's ultimate technique for getting rid of large numbers of people. It would last a while too and because it was wind and Zack's own spell he was unaffected. What's more it was a powerful suction within 80ft of the tornado. It was powerful enough to begin dragging the asura tigers towards it. They were strong though and dug their claws into the ground holding onto it. They couldn't get close to Zack who was standing at the base of the tornado surrounded by demon slaying wind. He would attack them soon. For now he was giving his blood a few seconds to heal some of his wounds and catch his breath. He didn't want to wait, but he needed to. His body couldn't take much more of this fighting without a break. These beasts were annoying and he had seen hide nor hair of the battlewolf they were hunting. He suspected that the battlewolf would be at least as big as the ocpald, if not as big as the big bang shark. How could he not find it? He'd not even seen paw prints.

"Wait...what if we're looking on the wrong part of the island?" he thought. It seemed off all they'd found were felines and bears. The canine battlewolf had to be somewhere else. He'd have to take out these tigers and then find Ayeseru and suggest a search of more of the island. He swung his swords looking at the tigers as they held their ground. If he hit them hard enough or got rid of their claws they'd be pulled in by the tornado and be sliced apart. He only had limited time though. It was time to begin. "Time to trim those nails ladies." he said with a grin.

Magic:

Ayeseru was measuring his odds.  He doubted that he would be able to keep up his shadow body tricks for too much longer; each of the steps kept on coming from closer and closer and closer.  Perhaps the Octotigers were tall enough to see up and over the large trees that would coat the island, they were enormous after all, around the size of the Land Shark Ayeseru had faced earlier on the Isle of Fish, and around as powerful, though much, much dumber.
He sighed deeply.  This is absurdly odd...  I can't seem detect the Battlewolf nearby, or pinpoint its exact location!  Its scent is scattered all over the island, and part of it is nearby!  I wonder, though...  Could this be its plot to hide itself if invaders such as Zack and myself ever came around?  Or maybe...  Yes!  Of course!  This IS a one hundred year mission!  That means it hasn't been completed the the one hundred years its been available for!  Other mages would of had to try this mission...  That means each ruler of the island has been alive for the last one hundred years!  Of course the Battlewolf is used to having people coming up and challenging him!  It only makes sense!

Ayeseru almost flicked his fingers, proud of having figured out the situation, before his face fell into a sudden terrified face.  But wait...  If this mission has been available for one hundred years...  How does that smith look like he's a young buck in his twenties?  Revival is basically impossible...  The requirements are absolutely absurd...  Youth potions were banned a few centuries ago...  Could he be a vampire or an immortal being of sorts?  I doubt it, though...  Nothing unusual came from the smiths scent...
Ayeseru couldn't help but ponder over the mystery of the innocent looking smith.  Ayeseru generally wouldn't even question his mission or job, however, it was only when Ayeseru began thinking tactically that he was able to come to such a conclusion.
He decided not to question his job, at least for the moment.  He would keep a tight watch on the smith whenever possible, now that he was suspected.  Unless something went wrong, Ayeseru would wait till he received his reward from the smith before questioning him.

"No more games.  Let's begin the fight!"  Human form.  Six beasts, though more like five.  Ayeseru was planning to take out at least three of them in this one go.
Running.  Ayeseru was able to cut through the wind easily with his Slayer speed.  No time to react, the nearly dead Octotiger died as soon as Ayeseru smashed through its skull and used one of the broken skull pieces to drive it through its brain.
The Octotiger happened to fall on the two pandas, as they comically attempt to run away, though are crushed and killed.  Well now, it appears all three beasts I wanted to take out in this go ar-  One of the Octotigers caught Ayeseru in between its tentacles and was squeezing the life out of him, while the other one slammed a tentacle right into Ayeseru when the Octotiger released him, followed up by a tackle from the tiger which sent him straight through two trees, snapping upon impact, causing Ayeseru to groan and shake in pain.

He looked around. It was tough for him to move his muscles at this point. The small time he decided to space out was enough for the beasts to take advantage of, and they were now closing in on him. He rose his head ever so slightly, and got back on his shaky feet, placing his arm behind him like a fencer, and with his other hand, extending it out, as though signaling them "come on!"
Ayeseru was ready for war.

Zack surged forward faster than one of the tiger's could react. THey couldn't do much anyway as they were using all their strength to hold themselves in place. He sliced through the front nails of one of the tiger and it quickly dug in with the back. Quite an impressive reaction. He managed to get under though dodging its swipes as he did so and sliced off its back nails. It somehow managed to grab him with its tail, and began pulling him with it towards the twister, but Zack forced himself free and watched as it flew towards the tornado to its doom. The expandas were likely already dead. The asura tiger would probably take less time because despite being strong it was very weak to his demon slaying wind.

The other began roaring loudly as if calling for help and sure enough a further seven asura tiger's turned up. There were also two expandas. These ones were real muscle heads and charged at Zack only to be sucked into the twister with a look of confused dismay on their face. "Lunk heads." he muttered. The seven new tigers stayed way out of the range of his twister. They were smarter than he expected. Perhaps the asura tiger had not only called for help, but also warned them. How annoying. He dashed at that one and quickly stabbed each of its paws severing the nerves and thus forcing its claws to stop grabbing the ground. It was then he got hit by another tree and sent flying into his own twister. The twister however blew harmlessly around him whilst smashing the tree into tiny pieces. Of course, the shrapnel from the tree and the corpses would do him some harm if he wasn't quick so he dropped down and walked out dusting himself off, even those his coat was somehow still clean. He had quite a few bruises and he was almost certain he'd cracked a rib or two with that last blow. Now who had thrown it?

"Ah another ocpald." he said noticing it in the shadows behind the group of asura tigers who were pawing the ground waiting. The ocpald appeared to be like the artillery of the island. They attacked with powerful blows from a distance Hmm, no not artillery. Artillery didn't attack you if you were too close. More a combination of artillery and fortress. Yes, like the fortress of cannons he'd seen, and gone into, at Era. "Those things really do hit like a freight train." he added rubbing his chest and stomach. He'd need to heal up soon, but not before he took out that ocpald. It would just hit him again from a distance. Still, as they were unwilling to come closer, even though the ocpald probably wouldn't be effected, he would just stroll round to the other side of the twister and wait a bit. He didn't like waiting, but this sort of waiting was a game. Who would risk the attack first? Would the felines attack him despite his tornado or would he attack them despite the fact they outnumbered him?

He sat down and waited. He could wait a little bit at least. As it was a game of sorts. Still, he'd get bored soon enough. "Never thought an island could host so many giant beasts." he said to himself. This was just the second of seven islands as well. If the others were this tough even two wizard saints might not be enough. Perhaps he should of
let Devon come, even though she was still learning about her new body. That would of evened up the odds slightly. "Ah well, more fun for me."

'Monster Dice' :

Ayeseru, serious look in his eyes, staring at the tiger that was leaping towards him; closed eyes, a moment, frozen in time, was he going according to reality?  Or a dream?  Senses tingling, a large body ripping through the wind, a sudden charge, gripping the beasts nose and slamming it into the ground.  Shadow Dragon's Grip.  A wave of vicious shadows was being fired upon the tiger from Ayeseru's shadowy hand.  The force of the shadows was far too strong, creating a hole thirty five meters from where the footing of the island surface was.
Ayeseru smirked, and looked up at the top of the hole, watching the Octotigers looking on curious.  Ayeseru felt the tiger moving slightly, and he looked back at it, twitching with its entire body and shaking its head.  Ayeseru couldn't help but sigh deeply; its attempts were very admirable indeed, to no avail.  Ayeseru gently laid his hand on the beasts nose and fired another volley of shadows at it, digging thirty five meters more into the ground at the same time.  The Octotigers looked on in...  Fear?  Ayeseru smirked.

What a perfect scenario this is...  Despite there being no need to do so, since the beast was knocked out, Ayeseru would lay his hand again on the beast and for a final time, assault it with a torrent of shadows, which ripped through the ground of the floating island, meaning if you jumped through it, you'd pop right at the bottom.  Luckily enough, Ayeseru was able to jump from the beasts body and onto the side to grab onto some rocks in the dirt.
Ayeseru could spot the beasts still staring down the hole, and they were eying Ayeseru, but in a more...  Frightened way?  He sighed deeply, and was jumping from side to side of the small, but long hole he had created, going up and up and up.  Reaching proper ground, the Octotigers moves instantly out of his way.  They eyed him strangely, as though they didn't dare cross his path.  Ayeseru noticed a strange smell on him as well; bloodshed.  Something odd was going on the island, though Ayeseru would not question it so long as it worked in his favour.

Ayeseru looked around carefully, noting the behavior in the beasts that were currently obvious and visible to him...  And the ones not so obvious and visible to him.  There were more pandas and tigers hiding in between the bushes and trees, all seemingly afraid of Ayeseru.  He couldn't help but scratch the back of his head but wonder what was going on there.
Ayeseru could feel the wind moving violently from Zack's position, alongside many tigers, some pandas, and maybe one Octotiger.  Crap!  We got split up, and I completely forgot about Zack while I was dealing with these beasts!  I don't think I have to worry about Zack...  However, it's always best to be with your team mate in an environment such as this one...  Gah... Ayeseru planted his feet carefully and exploded from them, leaving behind a tiny crater as he does so. He was running towards Zack's location, ready to provide any assistance.

Zack rose to his feet. He was nowhere near ready to go all out. His body was heavily battered, but nor was he so weak that he was going to just stand still. He would show these beasts the true meaning of speed. Their numbers had left him no choice. He was going to have to use a spell he hoped to save for the battlewolf. "Sky Emperor's Mantle." he said unleashing one of his strongest spells. An aura of wind swept around his body that was tinged with white. The magic power now flowing through his body was so strong it caused his hair to spike up. He grinned and seemed to vanish, turning into the very air itself. Suddenly, he was atop the ocpald, his biggest threat. "You like throwing trees at people huh? Well, let's see you hit the air." he said vanishing before its tendril could hit him. Next moment he solidified was under it with his swords already swinging slicing its tentacle legs to pieces. He leapt backwards at high speed before it dropped on top of him and then lunged forward with a powerful kick sending its spherical body rolling towards his twister. Without its tentacles it had no way to stop itself and was soon being sliced to pieces by the tornado.

He grinned again and vanished appeared above one of the now rather scared asura tigers. e]"Peekaboo." he said and stabbed it through two of its eyes causing it to scream in pain. Before it or its comrades could react though he vanished and appeared behind one and sliced off its tail. "What a tail of woe." he said as he vanished and appeared behind another and sliced its tail off. He repeated this process till all were howling in pain without tails. He stood there looking at them the aura of wind surrounding him.

"I have shown you my power. Do you still wish to fight? I am not here for you, but for your leader. I will not blame you if you run." he said his voice booming even over the sound of the tornado. Six of them looked at each other in confusion and fear then let out loud roars. The other was still howling in pain at its eyes being sliced out. He saw others approaching. Another nine of the tigers. It seemed they were not approaching him though, but skirting the clearing. By his judgment they were going away from where he had last seen Ayeseru. Now they were avoiding him as well. The seven that were already here had begun to walk away too, even the one that was in extreme pain. They were too scared to attack him in this state. He had the field advantage, could not be hit easily, and he was extremely powered up. Fear was a useful tool though one that was not effective against Zack. All he feared was his allies death.

He saw one enemy remaining though. It was another ocpald. This one seemed a bit larger and was covered in battle scars. By the look of it the beast was slightly stronger than the others. Perhaps their leader. He wondered if this was who ruled before the battlewolf. It was watching him carefully. It did not look scared. It just looked careful. Zack watched it for a moment and then began to walk towards it. The beast did not flinch or move. It just stood there waiting and watching. "You up for a fight then?"

"If I must, but I know you seek the battlewolf." it said causing Zack to stop and stare. It could talk? Now that was weird. "I used to rule here until that mutt came along. Kill it and I will rule again. If you promise to leave my children and this island alone after his defeat I will show you the way. They will not dare attack one as strong as you."

"I will not harm them. I'd rather not kill unless I have to. I'm just here for the battlewolf." The ocpald nodded and turned beginning to walk away. Zack snapped his fingers and the twister vanished then he shouted out. "Hey Ayerseru. Follow me.". He wasn't sure where the shadow slayer was, but was certain he was close enough to hear that.
