Duel between Ice and Abyss

Victoria walked to the arena, a big grin on her face. She had her hair tied in a ponytail, as usual, and wore her usual clothes. Armageddon hang on her back as always, ready to slice everything that is moving, and Leo's key rested on her neck. She had spent the whole night training like mad, and, the interesting thing is that she was not even a tiny bit tired. She pushed her ponytail backwards and waited for her opponent to show up. She was going to duel against Indar Blackshield, one of her Sabertooth guildmates and a friend of hers. He was a drunk head like her, and this is why she liked him (OC. Sounded as if she has a crush on him, thing she doesn't have.). And then he showed up, walking to her from the other part of the arena.
''Yo, Indar, decided to show up, huh?''

Indar had agreed to a duel with Victoria, a guild mate and a friend of his. He did enjoy fighting friends, just to see how strong they were and well it usually was a lot of fun. He had worn his usual attire, which consisted of his jacket, an undershirt and pants. Abyss Hollow rested on his back, not having been used in awhile, maybe he would use it against Victoria, but wasn't sure yet.

Indar noticed Victoria walking on the other side of the arena. He started to move closer, just to hear her: ''Yo, Indar, decided to show up, huh?'' He had a smile on his face: '' Wouldn't have missed it for anything Victoria, just don't think i will go easy on you because you are my friend. ''

As Victoria heard her friend's response, she let out a small laugh. When she finally looked back to him, her eyes were full of determination and a mischievous smile was on her face. '' Same here, dude.'' She said and stretched out her arms. '' So, are you ready?'' She asked while looking at his scythe. Both she and Indar were scythe users, which was good, because at least in that their weapons would be more or less equilibrated. Her scythe was pretty ordinary, while Indar's... Well, she didn't know about the Abyssal mage's, but she hoped it didn't have a lot of spells. She checked that she had everything in place, including her key and prepared to fight.
'' Ready or not, we begin on the count of three. I don't have all day. 1...2...3!''

Indar dropped his bag from his shoulder, there was no need for it to get damaged in this fight. He stared at Victoria, with a smile on his face. Indars eyes darted to her weapon, he had totally forgotten she used a scythe as well. Indar pulled his scythe from its holster on his back. Holding it in one hand he said: '' I'm ready when you are. ''

His sight tightened on Victoria's movements, just making sure she wouldn't do anything unexpected. '' Ready or not, we begin on the count of three. I don't have all day. 1...2...3!'' Indar held out his scythe when he heard her, he took in a stance of defense, as he was planning on taking a hit, just to see how strong she was. '' Bring it Ice mage. '' Indar had his usual smile when saying that.

'' Bring it Ice mage. '' Indar said with his usual smile. Victoria considered if it was a good idea charging at him first. Since she didn't want to wait more, she simply took out Armageddon and charged at the Abyssal mages. She was moving quickly, or at least she hoped so. She wasn't thinking of using magic until Indar attacked her with his magic. She jumped, going towards Indar and lifted her scythe in an attempt of an attack. She was seriously hoping that he wasn't fast. Or that he didn't think fast, at least.

As Victoria ran towards Indar, he was getting ready to take the attack, though he hadn't got a plan to be getting cut with a scythe today. When Victoria attacked, Indar used his scythe to block the attack, leaving them standing relatively close to each other. Indar smiled at Victoria, only to jump backwards a little and ready his weapon for an attack, but this attack wouldn't be a normal one. He channeled energy into the scythe and yelled: '' Abyss Cyclone '' The scythes blade turned into its liquid form and created a spiraling blade, that moved towards Victoria at high speeds. There was a purplish glow.

Victoria smiled unconsciously as he used his scythe's magic. She threw her scythe backwards and slammed her hands. '' Ice Make: Shield!'' The shield stopped the spell, but barely. It had resistence to only one C Rank Spell, but she didn't need more, currently. She did a back flip and landed to her scythe, which she put on her schoulder. '' Ice Make: Eagles!'' The icemade birds with all detail flew towards Indar at high speed, their beaks ready to attack him. She gripped her scythe and waited for the results.

Indar had a grin on his face, when Victoria blocked the cyclone. He called the cyclone back, forming it into the blade of the scythe again, but right as he was doing it, Victoria had released another attack, well they seemed like several. Indar quickly dropped his scythe, forgetting it almost. ''Abyss Dome'', a circular barrier, surrounding Indar completely, appeared blocking all the eagles.

As Indar released the dome, he smiled at Victoria, though now he was getting into the fight. ''Liquid Whip'', Indars right hand got covered by the abyss and turned into a whip looking weapon. His left hand still holding the scythe. But that wasn't all, he raised his weapon and said: ''Abyss Hollow, Form change: Spear.'' The scythe changed to a spear in seconds. Indar didn't waste time to attack, he ran forward a little bit, sending the whip to try and connect to either Victoria's hand or weapon, if it would connect Indar would try to strike with his spear, if it wouldn't he would take a defensive stance.

Victoria backed away at the sight of the whip, and she did right, because the damn thing was coming towards her, possibly trying to get to her hand or weapon. But she had a plan too. She slammed her hands together and waited for the whip to be close enough before saying: ''Ice Make: Fox!'' The whip got around the fox's tiny leg, and not around the mage who created it. Victoria used her scythe to strike the whip and cut it. It was a magic created weapon, so it could be deleted. Unlike Indar's scythe, of course. She was worried about it. Indar had turned his scythe into a spear, and she was too occupied with the whip to be able to deal with it too. She cut the whip, which dissapeared, and released the poor fox. Victoria looked at Indar. Maybe...
'' Ice Make: Lance!'' The weapons charget at Indar with incredible speed, while Victoria watched.

Indar was surprised of her strategy. He had hoped for the whip to connect, but not to a fox. He had never thought his whip would be cut so easily, but then again he hadn't really used it since he learned it. Indar turned his eyes to Victoria just at the right moment. It was already too late to dodge the lances, he had to take them. Not the full damage though, '' Reflector Plating'' Indar coaxed himself with abyssal metal, taking the hit, but blocking half the damage done.

He had a small smile on his face, as his head turned back to Victoria. Indar readied his spear, the attack would have to be made now. He rushed forwards, trying to look like he was going to lunge at her with the spear, but on the last second he said quietly: ''Abyss Hollow, Form change: Scythe.'' The spear reverted back to its previous form, causing the attack pattern to change. Instead of a spear stab heading towards Victoria, a scythe swing was coming and it was fairly close to her.

Victoria almost screamed as the spear took the form of a scythe again. She raised her own and blocked Indar, but the scythe managed to cut through her cheek a bit. She made yet another backflip, stretching out her leg to hit Indar's scythe away. She didn't know if she managed it, since she was landing at the moment. She got up and took a hand to the cut on her cheek. Bleeding, as it should be. '' Ice Make: Arrows!'' It had been time for her to use one of her most powerful spells. The arrows were fired at Indar at high speed, a speed much higher than the one that Ice Make: Lance has. This was her most powerful attack that didn't make her tired, and her most powerful one was Ice Make: Bloom, but she prefered not using it now.

Indar had hoped for the attack to do a little more, but at least he had gotten some damage off. Victoria had managed to block him and catch him off his guard with a kick to his scythe. She had followed up with a powerful spell, Indar could feel its power coming towards him, though he wasn't scared, as having reflector plaiting up still would reduce the damage somewhat. He just stood there, taking the arrows, blocking some with the plating, but the ones that got through dealt some damage. Especially one which sliced his shoulder, opening up a wound, which started to bleed immediately. He grinned from the pain, but turned his attention to Victoria. She had used a powerful spell and Indar thought he had to reply with the same. '' Circular Saws '' Four saw blades of abyssal metal appeared and targeted Victoria, locking onto her. Indar pointed at Victoria and when he let his hand down, the saws flew towards Victoria.

Victoria saw the two abyssal blades coming towards her at high speed, and cursed. She tried to dodge them, but one pierced her right shoulder and the other one pierced her left shoulder. She winced in pain and put her hands on the wounds. She was losing. This wasn't good at all. She had been temptated to take out Leo for at least twenty times, but she promised not using him at all during this duel. It would be unfair. She had to take out her triumph card now, though. Or Indar'd win her. She pushed her hands up in the air and then slammed them to the ground. ''Ice Make: Bloom!'' Her blue magic seal appeared on the ground just seconds before the giant roses erupted under Indar. She got up and quickly applied a layer of ice on her shoulders to stop the blood.

Indar was pleased with the results of his spell, though he did feel a little bad for hurting Victoria, as she was a friend of his. Then again, this was a duel they both agreed to and injuries were prone to happen. Indar was getting a little confident in his chances, he did that sometimes and it always ended up in him getting hurt. And that is what ended happening, Victoria had cast a spell powerful enough to hurt Indar drastically. The spell hit Indar by surprise, dealing full damage to Indar as reflector plating had worn off. Indar had gotten knocked back, a little dizzy as he looked towards Victoria. There seemed to be more attacks coming, but Indar had no plan to take more damage. He rushed towards his opponent, '' Gauntlets '' , hands now coated in Abyssal metal, he tried to land a punch onto Victoria.

As Indar ran to her, Victoria smiled. This was getting interesting. She took out Armageddon and blocked his punch. He was still trying to hit her, so she stomped her foot to the ground. The blue magic seal appeared just before the ground beneath Indar's feet froze. She hoped he was enough distracted to fall, so she could have advantage and put Armageddon against his neck and end this all. But first she had to make him slip, instead of waiting for him. She made another backflip and slammed her hands together. '' Ice Make: Lance!'' The weapons charged at Indar once again.

Indar smiled to Victoria as she blocked his attack. Indar lost his balance right away when Victoria covered the ground with ice. He wasn't tripping, well not until he saw her launch more lances at him. But Indar did have another trick up his sleeve, '' Liquid Pulse '' A blob of abyssal metal appeared, sucking up the lances and then disappearing. He needed to get rid of this ice on the ground, as it would give Victoria an obvious advantage. His weapon did have enough magic power to change form again, so he came up with a plan in seconds.

''Abyss Hollow, Form change: War-hammer.'' The scythe took the form of a gigantic hammer. Indar sent the hammer down onto the icy floor, smashing not the full area, but the area around him. He was getting a little exhausted and the wound on his shoulder made using the hammer form a painful experience. He looked at Victoria, a sly smile on his face, waiting for what she would do next.

Victoria stood there, breathing heavily. Ice Make: Bloom had taken away too much power, and her wounds were a pain in the... You get it. She needed to catch her breath before going on. She saw that Indar wasn't moving towards her, so she decided not moving towards him either. She grinned and cleaned the blood she had on her face. '' What's up, Abyss Dude? No more spells left to use?'' She joked, although it was her in that situation.

Indar grinned at Victoria's comment, but it was true, he was running low on magic and spells. There wasn't a lot of options remaining to Indar, only a couple, but he managed to come up with a plan. Indar lifted up the war-hammer, still wanting to use it, even though it drained his strength at the moment. The plan was simple, distract Victoria long enough, for a Bunker Buster to fall in her vicinity. He had a few thing to do it with, so the plan went into action. '' Bunker Buster '' Indar surged at Victoria, with all the strength he had left, in the middle of the surge he yelled, '' Straal '' Two magic circles appeared behind him, not really doing anything though.

When getting close to her, Indar slammed his hammer down next to her, hoping to make her jump away, when it would work, the magic circles would activate and fire two beams of abyssal energy towards Victoria hopefully leading her towards the area, where the buster will land. But if all failed, the Bunker Buster would probably still manage to do something with its explosion radius.

Victoria sighed as she saw Indar casting a spell behind her. Since some of her last missions, she had becomen very observant, and this attempt of his to trap her didn't succeed. He then casted another spell and charged at Victoria. But just before he arrived, she slammed her hands together and casted the Thorn Shield spell again. Indar's spell crashed into the shield, and Victoria smiled, victorious. She then turned towards Indar and smiled. '' Okay, I will show you my triumph card. My best spell ever.'' She said,the smile still on her face. '' Ice Make.... DUCK!'' A little, clumsy, ice duck was created and headed towards Indar.

Indar was a little bummed his plan didn't work, as now he didn't have an attack really, a few little hits were the most he could do. But something really peculiar happened, Victoria had created a small duck, that waddled towards Indar. It fell over multiple times trying to get towards Indar. He couldn't hold back the laugh, ducks in his mind were one of the funniest animals on this world. Indar was laughing, not paying attention to anything around him, he didn't even think about the duck anymore, just watching it. He put his hand to his head and said: '' You have a really funny spell there. ''

Victoria was cheering inside that her spell had worked. It was her most ridiculous and weak spell, and it was actually the first time she had casted it, but it worked damn well. '' True. It is my funniest spell... And very often my best distracting spell.'' Before Indar could understand that he was tricked, she slammed ehr hands and used her fastest spell: Ice Make: Arrows. The weapons were released at brutal speed towards the Abyssal mage, while Victoria was smiling, taking out her scythe in order to finish this Duel.

Indar kept laughing and looking at the waddling duck. He wasn't taking the fight seriously any longer. That was the main reason for taking Victorias spell dead on. The arrows caused multiple cuts and injuries, but didn't do enough to knock Indar out. He was a dizzy, blood dripping from the cuts he had received. His expression had changed from the regular smile he had to a more twisted look. Indar had activated his insanity willingly, making him able to not feel the pain. He grasped his scythe, staring at Victoria with a twisted look. Indar was ready to take any attack she would hit him with and just waited for Victorias next move.

Victoria was rather surprised as she was a twisted look in Indar's face. She shook her head a bit and prepared to attack, yet this look... it was so strange, so twisted, so distant. It almost made her cower in fear. Almost. '' Ice Make: Lance!''

Indar looked at the lances close in, he had a plan, even though he wasn't really thinking. His other power, the power which he didn't show and didn't really want to, but now would. Suddenly his body changed a little bit, as yellow scales crew onto his arms and his eyes glowed yellow. This was dragon force, the lost magic hidden in a lacrima in Indars chest. Lighting power surging through him in seconds as his eyes turned to Victoria, a sparkling light appearing in his mouth: '' Lightning Dragon's Roar '' A beam of lighting blasted from Indars mouth, destroying the lances and heading straight towards Victora.

Victoria's eyes widened as Indar used Lightning Dragon's Roar. She jumped away and landed on her feet, hurting her right ankle a bit, but that didn't matter. Dammit, he was a Dragon Slayer! Things had just gotten really bad for the Ice Mage, since her magic power was at the point of ending. She quickly introduced her left hand into her pocket and took out a golden key. Leo's key. She had said that she wouldn't use it, but things were not good for her since she was going against a Dragon Slayer.
'' Open, Gate of The Lion, Leo!'' Leo appeared as Victoria finished her sentence. He looked at her and then back at the Dragon Slayer.
'' You called?'' She nodded and explained to him what was happening in a few sentences. The Lion nodded and a grin appeared on his face. '' Okay then. Time to get serious. Regulus Impact!'' He charged at Indar, ready to use his most powerful melee attack.
