56 Ray vs Mystogan (1/2)
We both started with an old schooled fist fight as we traded blow for blow. None of our punches and kicks connected with each other's bodies as they were intercepted by the other's punches and kicks. This can be considered as our warm up and trying to feel each other's strength.
Mystogan is an experienced hand to hand combatant who knows what to do and what to not when in battle. So there weren't any wasted movements by him and as less experienced as I was, I tried my hardest not to make any mistakes and show an opening.
We continued to trade blows with each other for well over five minutes before we started to use magic to enhance ourselves and the blows started to create shockwaves that sent dirt flying all around us. At first we both were so into the fight that we didn't even realize that both of us had managed land one or two punches on each other.
But as time went on there were more and more hits being landed on each other due to our muscles stressing. So, we both finally broke off our fist fight and made some distance between ourselves.
”Five Layered Magic Circle: Sacred Song”
”Odin's Judgement”
Mystogan jumped above me and creates several Magic circles covered in runes that started to glow while made a spear of space. Mystogan magic runes then released a concentrated beam of Magic Power right towards me as I threw my spear back at him.
*Boom*
Once again dust and debris was sent all around us due to the shockwave from our attacks colliding with each other as the both of us jumped away from the collision zone. Soon the dust settled to reveal a huge crater as we stared across it at each other.
”Ground Shattering Wave” Mystogan quickly made some hand signs causing multiple purple waves of energy appear from the ground and move to envelop me.
”Tobi's Visage” I remember in the canon that Laxus used his lightning form to avoid being hit by this same magic, so I turned intangible moving right through the purple waves right at Mystogan.
”Hammer of Justice.” As soon as I reached him I swung my fist covered by space.
”Three Layered Magic Circle: Mirror Water.” Mystogan quickly used a barrier that reflects any spell that hits it back at its caster. I knew about its effects so I had covered myself in a 'Space Barrier'.
*Boom*
When the grassland once again cleared from the dust that flew due to the shockwaves, we stood apart from each other with Mystogan breathing slightly heavy while I retained a calm breathing. While Mystogan is surely strong, he is not at the level where I really have to give it some effort to win even when I am holding back so much.
