《The Prophecy Of The Four Kings》Chapter 62
Advertisement
Amon pushed the pieces of rubble from on top of him, emerging from the pile of rubble his body had created from being thrown by Aluric, who as he looked up and fixed his gaze upon had just thrown yumi into another building,
“really her too”, Amon muttered to himself, as he felt the lingering pain in his back, from the impact he just made,
“that is going to hurt, tomorrow if we live”, he said to himself,
Amon tensed his leg muscles as he reared back, and then shot himself forward in a quick burst of speed, at his brother, Aluric barely glancing in Amon’s direction, pivoted his body throwing his hands up to his chest in a fit of desperation, blocking Amon’s kick, Aluric feeling the force from the kick pulling his body away from his brother, his feet sliding across the stony surface, that made stopping himself so much harder because of the falling rain, causing him to slide a few feet back,
Aluric dropped his hands, only to be met with the oncoming fist of his brother, As he saw this he felt Yumi’s Natural blessing take effect, slowing the movement of his opponent significantly, A devilish smile peeled its way across Aluric’s face, as he shifted his body sideways, allowing the punch to freely pass him, he turned to see another one coming seeming the same sluggish way as the first one,
Amon attacked his little brother feverishly, throwing one attack after the other, only for all of them to be effortlessly and flawlessly dodged by Aluric,, only to be met by aluric twisting his body as he spun and landed with an attack of his own, as Aluric’s elbow cleanly connected to Amon’s jaw, the force of the impact knocking his head sideways, not discouraged by this, Amon shrugged off the blow and tried to strike again, with the same result, as Aluric once more landed an attack, this time punching him straight in his face, knocking his head back this time, as Amon again ignored the pain from the attack, trying to strike his younger brother once more,
As Aluric pulled back his hand to strike Amon again, yumi pulled herself from the rubble, and without a moments hesitation, launched herself back into the fray, as she sped towards Aluric, landing a ferocious kick to his rib cage, but as she once again looks down at the moment of impact, she is met with Aluric’s hand,the force of the attack propelling him into a building that was standing next to him, as the red brick stone wall crumbled, with Aluric's body penetrating it, leaving the inside exposed, yumi lands next to Amon, who is panting trying to catch his breath, wiping away, the stream of blood, currently escaping his nose,

“you okay ?”, Yumi asked amon,
“yup, just a bit…... pissed off, but other….. than that just fine”, he exclaimed, catching his breath in between words,
Soon after Aluric, emerged, pushing a slab of the red brick off of his body, the red dust from the bricks settling onto his white and gold trench coat, he stood up fixing his stater onto the two people who opposed him, the two people who were once the closest people to him,
“i noticed his eyes”, Amon pointed out, as he gestured towards yumi’s eyes,
“ yeah, it happened right after he threw you into that building”, yumi's said pointing to one of the many partially destroyed residences of the dracht capital,
“this is going to be a pain to deal with”, Amon complained, holding the back of his head, his next arm reaching across his hip unsheathing his sword,
“yup so lets get going”, Yumi states, darting off towards Aluric once more,
yumi closes in to Aluric, unleashing a fury of attacks, punches, kicks, elbows, more punches and kicks, knees, All blocked or dodged by Aluric, however the shear volume of Yumi’s attacks push him back, felling the cold, wet hard texture of stone on his back, Aluric’s eyes widen, coming to the realization that he has been backed into a corner, As yumi attacks once more Aluric barely manages, by hair’s width to pull his head out of the way, as yumi’s attack knocks off the wall behind him, as the come to a stand still, Yumi, looks up, for the first time in the fight they lock eyes fully, the rain held at bay by the damaged rooftop over head,
“you didn’t pull your punch just now, that would've really hurt”, Aluric states,
Yumi looked deep into Aluric’s eyes, remaining silent,
“you made a rookie mistake, you tried to outdo me with my own powers, when I’m well aware of the weaknesses it possess”, Yumi finally answered,
“not going to acknowledge my first comment, oh well, what would those weaknesses be yumi”, Aluric answered,
“you focused to much on me”, Yumi retorted, jumping backwards out of the way, as Amon ran under her, with his sword drawn, mid attack already, as the purple hilted blade raced towards Aluric’s abdomen, the yellow of Aluric’s eyes flickered briefly, as the brightness of them intensified, as the sword completed it’s attack, it cleaved nothing but air, the force and momentum causing Amon to begin to spin, as Aluric vaulted himself over the blade, he looked down at his brother, flipping in the air and using the blade he stretched out his hand and propelled himself even higher in the air,

Amon felt his body spinning with the momentum of the strike, looking at his brother in the air, amon made the hasty decision, letting go of his sword mid swing as it flew off int the stone wall, as he completed his spin, one of his feet lifting off of the ground unbalancing him, he flung his arm outwards towards his brother, as a small sharp black projectile, launched itself out of his sleeve, whistling through the air making a sharp cutting sound, it only seemed like a blur to Amon, but Aluric perceived it in its entirety, a hidden dagger was now flying towards him and he had nowhere to go, as it inched closer and closer by the second, it was heading straight for his eye, quickly he threw up his hands blocking the blade from entering his eye, he felt a sharp piercing pain run through the flesh on his arm,
his eyes now closed he could feel himself free falling, as it soon came to a sudden stop, and he the ground beneath his feet, he slowly opened his eyes, moving his hand away from them, feeling the the slight sting and the cool blade in his arm with every movement, he didn’t have the slightest second of reprieve, as he saw Yumi directly next to him, as he leg connected to his abdomen, he could feel his breath rush through his lungs and out through his mouth, as the force from her attack he could feel pushing him in the direction away from her, as his feet left the ground slightly, as he glanced in the direction he was going, he saw his brother,
Aluric instinctively threw his hand to his side to protect himself, from the attack he was sure to land there,but the attack never came, until, he felt a strong force push his jaw up to the sky, Amon had avoided the obvious attack, and landed an uppercut, shortly after he felt it yet again, as Aluric felt his feet climb off of the ground, and then he felt another strong force this time pushing him in his stomach, as he felt his body getting catapulted into the air,
Yumi sprinted towards one of the buildings that were still standing, as she neared it, she jumped into the air as one of her feet found footing on the buildings side shortly after, as she propelled herself once more towards the building adjacent to that, as she did so repeatedly, climbing into the air, as Aluric’s limp body flew upwards from the kick he just received from Amon, and with one last kick she jumped up and directly above amon, as she spun hersellf rapidly, placing her leg outwards as she reached the peak of her jump and gravity began pulling her towards Aluric, As Aluric opened his eyes he saw, yumi’s leg rocketing towards him,
His eyes widened with panic, as things seemed to be moving a bit faster than before, trying to think quickly his eyes darted around his body, as the fixated on the knife stuck in his arm, reaching for it and pulling it out, just as Yumi’s kick connected with him, for the briefest of moments time slows it self again, as Aluric, swipes his hand at Yumi releasing the blade in his hand, as it flies towards yumi, striking her
