38 Ray vs Hades (1/2)

We stood around 400 meters away from each other but with my improved speed from the training, I could travel this distance in about 4 seconds while running normally and by that I mean not teleporting.

I dashed at him like I did with others as he started firing his bullet magic at me. I dodged the bullets left and right which lessened my speed but I was still able to make it to 20-meter range very soon and I teleported a huge stone to block his vision as I teleported right above him to see him using chains to break the stone when his bullets didn't manage to completely break it. Why didn't his bullets not work on a normal stone you might be wondering. Well, apart from its sheer size helping it out, I had space nullify most of the attacks so it withstood Hades' bullets.

”Odin's Judgement!”

After the last training I was able to shorten the time needed to conjure a space spear but it was still at the level of the spear I used against Gildarts and still far from the one I used against Achnologia.

As the spear flew at him, he used his chains to propel him into the air completely dodging the attack. While airborne he kept sending his chains at me using his right arm while using bullet magic to cover my escape paths with his left. As expected of an old monster, his battle sense is amazing.

”Tobi's Visage!”

Ultimately though, I had the most overpowered escape technique in history in my arsenal and made myself intangible. I quickly followed him while using aura magic locked on him, trying to predict his attacks.

As his attacks continued, I was able to adapt and slowly predict some of his attacks and dodge most of it and let the others phase through me. I was being cautious and kept Tobi's Visage activated throughout just in case, as I am using the current situation to get more familiar with my aura magic.

After getting the hang of it, I decided to end this little learning session and take this seriously and used my newest attack.

”Genesis Breaker!”

I punched both my hands in Hades' direction and space started to crack around him and he started to get pulled at multiple direction at once. As he felt being pulled in multiple directions, his face which had been expressionless throughout the fight showed signs of pain as he gritted his teeth and tried to absorb what he though was magic by creating a concave shaped purple barrier. But it was ineffective and as he saw this he used all his strength to move his arm and removed his eyepatch, revealing his trump card.

As he opened his right eye which was all red with a white dot in the center, his immense magic power was unleashed and his body started to emit a purple aura. And with a final outburst, he broke my attack.

I leapt back creating some distance and we once again entered a confrontation. As I kept vigilance, he suddenly disappeared, no, he moved so fast that I could barely see him. He reappeared in front of me and punched me right in the gut with his left fist. I coughed out blood as he slowly raised his right fist and sent me flying with a very fast punch right in the face.

The right side of my face was burning because of his magic power when he hit me as I stood up and spit some blood out of my mouth. But as I looked at the direction where he should be, he was nowhere to be seen.

I used space to lower my gravity making me faster. But although this will make my movement speed faster, it still can't do anything to improve my reflex. In order to stop his momentum, I have to watch for when he reappears and use my lowered weight to dodge him. If only my reflexes were faster as well, then I could trade blows with him.

As I finished lowering the gravity, Hades appeared right behind me and sent a kick to my head. This time although I couldn't dodge completely, I did manage to move my body to the direction he kicked. This not only nullified most of the force behind his attack but also gave me the opportunity to go into either Tobi's Visage or Dream Reality. And so I did.
