** BGM FOR THE FIGHT " Number One- Bankai" By Shiro SAGISU featuring Hazel Fernandes. **
---
Cynrik watched the small marble-sized pellet sink into the wound as the gash began rapidly healing, smirked, and executed a double backflip off the Chimera's back.
[Let's hope this works; we need to knock off some of that HOT *Heal Per Tick* if we want a shot at doing some real damage.] Landing on the ground and rolling before bouncing to his feet and putting distance between himself and the creature, Cynrik's eyes stayed trained on the pellet as it entered the Chimera's bloodstream and burst.
[Get some space Brance, if what I expect to happen happens, then well, this fuck is going to flip his shit in 5…4.]
[Hold ON, WHAT DID YOU DO?] Unhesitatingly breaking off in a full sprint, Brance shouted with worry painted across his face, interrupting Cynrik's countdown.
However, contrary to what Brance was preparing for, there was no explosion when Cynrik reached zero. Instead, as his brother had stated, the Chimera began violently thrashing about, clawing at every part of its body in panic as its pink and burned skin turned blotchy purple.
[Omni-Poison pellet, nasty little toy, ain't it? I mean, check out the effect it has on a Pseudo-Tier-5.] Cynrik chuckled as he spun around and launched hundreds of baseball-sized purple fireballs at the spazzing-out Chimera.
ROAHHHHHHHh SWAKKKK!
From rage to insanity, the Chimera's attitude changed like the flip of a switch as it went from thrashing about to launching multiple, voluminous attacks in all four of its different Affinities.
[OH SHIT!] flopping to the ground on his belly and narrowly avoiding a stream of Icicles, Cynrik cried before rolling and continuing his assault.
[What the hell Cyn, all you did was piss it off!] Brance complained as he stayed on the move and unleashed hundreds of Stone spikes to counter the incoming flurry of attacks.
[Bah, win some, lose some Brancie, im not omnipotent. But check it out; I achieved what I set out to do.] Bouncing back to his feet and pointing above the creature at the HUD only he and Brance could see, Cynrik drew his brother's attention toward the HP bar, which was dropping faster than it was recovering.
Brance's eyes followed Cynrik's hand as he stomped the ground and manifested dozens of these pillars of stone, which created a Cage around the Chimera, pinning it to the ground.
For good measure, Brance had even gone so far as to add barbed tips every quarter meter of the pillar; this made it so that if the Chimera so much as farted, it would be poked and prodded by the sharp barbs.
Like Cynrik had said, the HP bar in Brance's HUD would drop two ticks and heal one, meaning they were outputting more damage than the Chimera's healing factor could regenerate, something they had been aiming for from the beginning.
[By my estimate, it can heal 300 HP per tick, and my Omni-Poison pellet deals 600 points of damage per tick. Although two steps forward and one step back sucks, it is sufficient for now; lay on the pepper Brancie; time to take this bastard down!] Taking in a deep breath, Cynrik began weaving hand seals off memory, his weeb side taking over, and he jumped into the air, made a circle with his left hand's index finger and thumb, and shouted a fake skill name.
"HMPH, Drown in a Sea of Flames! Katon: Gōka Mekkyaku"
[ SON OF A BITCH!] Brance screamed as he sank into the ground and fled in the opposite direction as Cynrik transformed into a human-shaped flamethrower.
A four-meter-thick jetstream of Blackish Purple Fire erupted from Cynrik's mouth and rained down on the trapped Chimera. The attack quickly turned the surrounding area into a sea of flames as Cynrik continued supplying copious amounts of Mana, uncaring about his expenditure.
Over a kilometer away, Brance's head and shoulders popped out of the ground like a gopher, and he gawked at the effects of his brother's makeshift attack in awe.
'God damn, he's really leaning hard into that whole Uchiha Schtick…first Susanno, second…I think that's one of Madara's moves, just with purplish fire.' Brance thought as he pushed himself out of the ground with the aid of his Terra Affinity.
'Can't lose out, alright, if Cyn wants to use weeb shit, I got this covered…uh uhh, think.' Attempting to devise a suitable follow-up attack, Brance could feel the heat radiating from Cynrik's flames, even at this distance, adding anxiety to perform.
"THAT'S IT!" Fastening his shields onto his back, Brance clapped his hands together, generating a loud pop sound, and grinned.
[CYN, I HOPE YOU DON'T THINK YOU'RE THE ONLY ONE WHO CAN RIP OFF ANIME SKILLS!] Brance said as small pebbles and dirt ripped up off the ground and started colliding and forming a small ball.
By the gate, Cynrik's left eye twitched. Since his back was to Brance, he couldn't see what was happening, and if he turned to look, the neverending stream of fire spewing from his mouth would follow.
[What are you on about? The whole point of me using a Jutsu was so no one would know our actual skills.] Rolling his eyes, Cynrik monitored the ocean of purple fire spilling out in a 500-meter radius with the Chimera in the epicenter. Even under the noisy crackle of flames, he could hear the pained and frantic cries of the trapped Chimera as it desperately tried to free itself.
With [Mana Sight] active, he could see how panicked the creature was as it slammed its body against the stone cage created by Brance while trying to keep the fire at bay with a combination of Terra and Ice Mana.
Completely engrossed in what was happening below, Cynrik didn't realize that a small orb had appeared high above his head and was drawing in a massive amount of the surrounding terrain.
However, that all changed when suddenly, an expanding shadow covered him in darkness. The appearance of this shadow caused Cynrik to lose his focus and look up out of habit momentarily; what he saw caused his eyes to widen in surprise.
Cutting off the supply of Mana to his attack, Cynrik spun around in the air and saw a small moon formed from rocks and dirt growing in size above his head.
[BRANCIE, THAT ISN'T AN ATTACK; IT'S A CROWD CONTROL JUTUS MEANT FOR CAPTURING BIJUU!] Caught off guard by his brother's choice of Jutsu, Cynrik immediately flew away; there was no way in hell he was getting caught in the destructive suction of the miniature moon.
In the distance, Cynrik spotted Brance crouched in a horse stance with his hands in a praying posture, and he flew over.
"RAHHHH, PLANETARY DEVASTATION!" Feeling that the rocky moon had grown large enough, Brance roared at the top of his lungs as he separated his hands, thrust out his right arm, and slammed it down, dragging the insanely big ball of rock out of the sky and dropping it on the Chimera.
[Planetary Devastation…really Brance…planetary Devastation…] Cynrik's face contorted into one of horror when he heard the name Brance used, and he even spat on the ground as if he was hearing the foulest shit ever to enter his ears.
Looking away from the slowly plummeting moon, Brance glanced at Cynrik with a confused expression.
[Huh? That's what it's called; I remember it very clearly… Pein uses a Jutsu called Planetary Devastation…]
[IDIOT FAKE FUCKING WEEB, YOU NORMIE FUCKING POSER TRASH, THAT SKILL IS FUCKING NAMED CHIBAKU TENSEI. DO YOU HEAR ME, CHI-BAK-U-TEN-SEI!] Stepping up and grabbing his brother by the front of his chest plate, Cynrik got right in Brance's face and screamed.
