Turn 8: Combinations

Magnus looks at the upgraded Marcus in awe.

Magnus: Man, you have me beat. This is amazing! I would have never thought I'd get such a good fight from the first round!

''You have my gratitude Marcus. ''

Magnus' look suddenly changes, from cheerfull to dead serious in an instant.

Magnus: However, you are right... I have dreams too. I want to become a doctor, I want to see how far I can get down the road of Martial Arts, and I want to participate in this World Tournament!

Magnus' black and golden chi aura starts dancing around him more vividly.

Magnus: But I also have a secret agenda. An angle I have to work on. Something that I can't even tell you, Marcus, about.

Magnus black and golden chi aura now explodes around him, enveloping the man in an immense amount of a flame-like aura.

Magnus: That's why I cannot afford to fall behind! Prepare, Marcus! THIS IS AT ANOTHER LEVEL!

Magnus dashes and istantly appears infront of Marcus, round-house kicking the man with his left leg. Marcus blocks, and the flame auras that clash create an amazing spectacle.

Magnus doesn't miss a beat, and instantly lifts his other leg off the ground. Rotating his whole body 180 degrees, he kicks Marcus on the head with the heel of his right shoe. Aided by his telekinesis, the move doesn't stop there.

As he is with his back turned towards Marcus, he swings his right hand, slashing at the man. The left hand follows shortly after, and with this he has rotated 360 degrees from his original position. Marcus blocks the incoming slashes with his gaunlets, but he barely manages to do so.

Magnus: Spin me right round.

(Heavenly wheel)

Magnus executes this technique without losing his tempo, and catches Marcus off guard. Just as the last strike landed, he starts gathering huge telekinetical force around him, and he uses it to rotate his whole.

Imitating a spinning top, Magnus starts rotating at full speed. His rotation speed is so fast that only the illusion of a ring of metal appears around him. With this spin power he attacks Marcus, who tries to block with his gaunlets. He was take by suprise however, and received two new wounds on his shoulder before he could block anything.

Just as his gaunlet is slashed, and some blood sprays on his hands, Marcus finally counters the move by releasing 6 palm strikes directly against the trajectory of Magnus' movement. He manages to stop the spin and Magnus loses his balance.

Marcus: Too risky.

Marcus begins his counterattack, and he beginds by dashing. In a matter of seconds, he reaches up to Magnus, who puts his swords infront of him in an X lining, to guard from what's coming.

Marcus indeed creates a crazy train of strikes. With each palm strike, huge amounts of Chi aura are released, and both fighters are pushed back a few meters. In a matter of seconds, all the 30 palm strikes have been excuted, and a huge trail of Orange aura remains, forming a train of some sorts.

Marcus stops then, and just waits. He tries to catch his breath, but it's getting harder and harder to breathe. On the other hand. Magnus almost drops his sword, and his knee shakes. His Nerve's Path passive offers a huge boost of abilities, but his mind is getting cloudy.

Magnus: Not yet!

Magnus takes a few steps, and runs at Marcus again...

Magnus: Step by step, little by little. I shall reach up to you. This distance, it's nothing!

Marcus understand that he was not only talking about their physical distance, but still having problems with his breathing, chooses to wait for Magnus to reach up to him.

(dash slash)

Magnus simply reaches up to Marcus, and he swings his swords...rather feebly. His footwork was sloppy, and his sword grip was loose. Marcus easily guards against both swords with his left hand, and immidiately follows with a strong right hook to Magnus' face.

Just as he takes the punch, Magnus grins.

Magnus: You fell for it!

Marcus' punch gave him the initial boost he needed. He starts rotating his whole body, and performs a 360 twist, swining his swords. This time however, everything is perfect. The trajectory is straight, his footwork steady, and his grip as sturdy as it neeeds to be.

Marcus has no time to react. He can just watch as Magnus swiftly swings his two swords, and it is at that moment that he realizes what's trully  going on.

Magnus makes the illusion wear off. The whole crowd can only question what he's trying to do... As he unveils his last Ku element.

'''Ku:Water. Ku:Electircity'''

Magnus' swords make contact with Marcus' skin, and slash him cleanly. First comes the sword that was covered in water. The water splashes on Marcus' body, and Magnus sets his trap up. He uses his telekinesis and forces the water to enter Marcus' body through his wounds.

Immidietely after that, the sword covered with an electrical current slashes Marcus at the same spot.

The electrical currect starts spreading on Marcus' body, and the water that Magnus used amplifies the damage.

Marcus is crisped, but still manages to throw in one strong punch to Magnus, sending him flying and cracking a bone on his cheek.

Marcus: Feels like toast.

Magnus: I guess you have to pay big to score big.
