The Moonlight Swordsman



Fangspire Mountain,

Aizel shook his head to clear his thoughts and focused his attention back on the battle at hand.

He had to focus on the huge snake in front of him and couldn't afford to think about anything else.

Aizel's focus was immediately drawn to the left eye of the snake, where Sekki had struck it, and a milky white fluid was flowing out.

"Is that what a mountain's liquid substance is?"

ROARRR…

Before he could think any further, the colossal serpent let out a resounding roar and opened its mouth wide.

As it did, a series of metallic teeth began to rapidly form and shoot out towards Aizel, resembling a machine gun rapid fire.

*boom* *boom* *boom* *boom*

*boom* *boom* *boom* *boom*

Aizel's heart raced as he sprinted away from the colossal serpent's vicious attack.

Metal teeth formed within the creature's gaping maw and rained down upon the ground with a deafening roar.

The bombardment was merciless, destroying everything in its path and sending debris flying everywhere.

Aizel struggled to keep up with the sheer speed and power of the attack, using his blade Sekki, to deflect some of the teeth with loud, clinging noises.

However, the metal missiles' tremendous momentum made him fumble and falter with every attempt at dodging.

"I guess I gotta deflect them all at once," he thought.

Aizel looked over the wreckage and quickly identified a suitable spot to make his stand.

He rushed in its direction, his mind already visualizing the move he was about to make.

As he reached his destination, ten clones of Sekki appeared around him, their sharp edges reflecting in the light. With a swift movement of his wrists, he sent the hovering blades spinning wildly, diverting the onslaught of metal fangs.

Aizel's eyes were wide open, his concentration at its peak as he deftly used both hands to hold the real Sekki, deflecting every projectile that came his way.

*Ting* *Ting* *Ting* *Ting*

*Ting**Ting**Ting*…

*Ting**Ting**Ting*…

As Aizel continued to deflect the barrage of metal teeth, he saw the massive serpent charging towards him with its jaws wide open.

"Damn you fucking snake,"

Aizel reacted quickly as the massive serpent charged forward, its gaping maw ready to devour all in its path.

He directed his clones of Sekki to hover in the air, and they nimbly dodged the serpent's massive jaws, which crashed onto the ground with tremendous force, shattering the earth beneath.

Aizel, however, was no longer in danger because he had skillfully switched places with one of the Sekki clones, who was now hovering safely in the sky.

The Sekki clones transformed into metallic poles, soaring through the air and piercing the ground in a circular formation around the massive serpent. They were firmly lodged in the earth.

"LIGHTNING RUMBA"

Aizel's eyes glinted with electricity as he infused each metal pole with a different hue of lightning. With a sudden surge of power, the poles began striking the colossal snake repeatedly, stunning it before it could even react.

*Crackle* *Crackle* *Crackle*

*Crackle* *Crackle* *Crackle*

*Crackle* *Crackle* *Crackle*

Bolts of red, blue, silver, black, yellow, green, and purple lightning, each striking the enormous serpent with astounding force, crackled and swirled around the metal poles as Aizel focused more and more energy.

The snake writhed and roared in pain, but Aizel continued to pour his lightning into the poles, intensifying the attack.

"Let's see how strong your body is."

Suddenly, the lightning bolts from the metal poles came together in the sky above the snake and swirled into a huge sphere of lightning energy with many different colors.

Aizel lowered his palm, and the sphere plummeted towards the serpent, unleashing a blinding torrent of lightning that illuminated the entire battlefield in a dazzling array of colors.

As the lightning hit the snake over and over, it writhed in pain. Rocks and other debris fell from the sky and burned the ground. Its roars could be heard for miles, which showed how much pain it was in.

"Let's end this Sekki,"

As Aizel held Sekki in his hands, it began to vibrate and glow, gradually taking the shape of a massive hammer that grew bigger and bigger.

He held the hammer in both hands and raised it high above his head. The surface of the hammer cracked with lightning.

It was as if he were wielding the mighty Mjolnir, like the god of thunder himself, preparing to strike with all his might.

"Let's end this inferior creature with one hit, Sekki."

*BUZZ* Sekki buzzed with lightning in response.

Aizel descended towards the colossal serpent, its broken skin still oozing a white substance as it was stunned by the lightning.

Crackles of lightning surged through Aizel's body and armor, as the huge hammer in his hands left a trail of lightning behind. Their descent grew faster and faster as they neared the ground.

*Crackle*…..

THOOOORRRRRR…

*Crackle*….. *Crackle*…..

FURRRYYYYYYYY…

*BOOOOOOOMMMMMMM*

*CRACKLEEEE*

The thunderous impact of the colossal hammer hitting the serpent's head created a deafening boom, sending shockwaves rippling through the surrounding area.

The powerful blow had left a trail of destruction in the landscape, which the bright flash of light illuminated.

ραпdα---nᴏνa| сom The ground beneath the serpent crumbled and shattered, forming deep craters that sent debris flying for miles. Aizel's powerful attack had forever altered the once-familiar terrain of the Fangspire mountain.

Aizel rose from the debris, his armor protecting him from harm as he surveyed the aftermath of his devastating attack.

"Hehe nice,

"Now let's see the snake,"

Aizel walked over to the remains of the colossal snake, its body now battered and bruised with white substance oozing from every wound. On the other hand, the hammer strike had clearly crushed its head, which was a bloody mess.

"I guess it will make a good ingredient."

"Yes, pretty boy, good job."

Without warning, Vespara appeared behind Aizel, causing him to startle and briefly lose his footing.

"You damn hag, don't appear out of nowhere,"

"Hehe, I was so excited to see how easily you took down the last stage of the Grade III serpent all by yourself,

"And you used quite a surprising new move; especially that weapon of yours, how is it growing so fast?"
