Beastly Battlefield (DP-R)

[Rafael]

The assault against his opponent was something that Rafael hadn’t expected to not claim him victory. Rafael, although new to his current strength, hadn't ever conceived that someone would be able to keep going through what he had just unleashed. The mere fact that this dinosaur was still standing told Rafael that he really couldn’t hold back even if he didn’t want to kill it was no longer an option. He hadn’t really been holding back for the last few moments yet still the intent to kill wasn’t something that he unleashed eagerly. Even now despite everything his mind searched for someway that would allow him to claim victory without ending a worthy challenge.

As the exchange between the two of them came to another conclusion Rafael was left with a decent amount of pain as the long slash wound that had been inflicted on his torso was already mending itself. His flesh having been sliced open by the talon of the dinosaur was building itself up, closing the wound as fur regrows completely reconstructing the injured section of Rafael’s body in little more than a couple moments. The punch that Rafael had managed to deliver to the side of his foes massive face was the attack to give him the best results so far by knocking it to the side.

This little bit of information told Rafael that either the head was a weaker section despite its size or his opponent was starting to get tired. The latter wouldn’t be an excellent discovery as Rafael could feel his own limitations creeping up on him. His heart beat was deafening at this point while his chest felt like it was going to burst. He’d never had to utilize this much of his power in the past over this long of a period. This dinosaur, if nothing else, was pushing Rafael to learn more about his power and what he could handle at the moment.

A few feet of distance between them now Rafael is doing what he can to breathe evenly trying to regain some of his stamina as his heart continues to beat loud enough that Rafael feels as if at any moment he may go deaf. Stumbling away from him Rafael watches as the dinosaur puts some more distance between them yet shows no signs of giving up. Unsure why Rafael comes to the decision that he can’t make this opponent give up. The sight of the muscles once again forcing everything else to keep going told Rafael that he had to do something that wouldn’t let this foe continue.

Rafael wouldn’t be the one to make the first move though as the dinosaur rushes forward. One thing though is different, the maw of his foe is closed . . . There. The abdomen expanding told Rafael exactly what was about to happen. His mind processes the scene around him at a pace that would challenge the computers of the human world. Matching it up with the same thing he had seen less than a minute ago. This battle hadn’t been going on long, especially not with individuals powerful enough that the very land below them couldn’t help kneeling.

Dragging his right foot backwards to change his position Rafael stares down his opponent before vanishing. Not wanting to lose another arm after experiencing first hand how powerful the move this dinosaur was ready to unleash had been, Rafael instead decides to go about with his plan to end this. Not relying on brute force like his foe instead choosing to unleash his strength like a true martial artist. Executing Shunpo in order to accelerate himself, moving faster enough to get under his foe. Striking the front of the forward leg. Specifically hitting the side of the ankle.

Breaking the ankle would be enough for most yet Rafael wasn’t going to underestimate his opponent again. He’d already seen that his foe could force his bones into place to keep going. Shattering his ankle couldn’t guarantee victory so Rafael had to go with something else that would at least give him an advantage this foe couldn’t negate easily. Executing the Shatter-Point Strike on the side of the ankle. Sending out the force of his strike throughout the surface of the dinosaur’s flesh. In the moment that followed an area over a foot in all directions from the impact would crack like glass. Cuts dealt, fifteen inches deep and spreading just as far along that area would cause constant pain that this foe wouldn’t be able to force closed.

Rushing over to the other leg Rafael doesn’t unleash the same technique once again instead this time grabbing the back of the ankle with both his arms. Sinking his claws into the flesh of his opponent Rafael pulls attempting with all his strength to rip off the back of this dinosaur’s ankle. He was aware there was a chance he could pull the entire massive foe from the ground, but what he wanted was underneath. The tendon that gave everyone the ability to walk. The Achilles’ tendon was his target as he attempted to tear a large enough portion of flesh off that it would come along for the ride.

Technique Name: Shatter-point Strike (Mastered)
Class: 4
Technique Type: Martial Art
Usable By: Any Race
Technique Element: N/A

Technique Description and Effects: A Muay Boran technique created with the purpose of inflicting damage over time after the initial impact. This technique takes the appearance of cracked glass on whatever surface the user strikes when in actuality the cracks are cuts that the victim suffers over the area of impact outwards to ten centimeters. These crates are caused when the strength of the user's strike is spread out from the impact zone destroying the surrounding area which causes the cracks. When this is done against an enemy the cracks will bleed and depending on the Strength of the user the depth of the cracks may be anywhere from half a centimeter to five centimeters deep. (.5 Centimeters of depth for every 100 in Strength the user possesses maxing out at 1000 Strength) How this continues to inflict damage after the initial strike is simply movement of the inflicted area will cause the cracks to bleed heavily or even hemorrhage if they're deep enough.

How to use technique: The user must strike a physical blow against the target.

Technique Drawbacks: Requires at least 400 in Strength. Requires at least 2 in either Muay Thai or Muay Boran.

[Adrastos]

The end was drawing near. Blood and sweat littered the war torn Earth beneath their claws as the two beasts resided across the different ellevations of ground they had just created. Those who would become passer-bys may consider this area a scene in which a war had taken place. Two rivaled factions that fought for their beliefs, wishing the overcome the enemy that stood across from them. Little would they know that the circumstances were beyond what they could have imagined. What would have been thought of would not have drawn those onlookers to the idea of two creatures, monsters, were battling. While Kido, and magic, will leave their own signs upon the battlefield, with pure physical strength would have shown as what was presented before them; carnage.

The carnage would come to an end. This sensation could have been felt by the Adjuchas. A sense of regret would plague him. Regret? With his feet already carrying him through the final charge, why the feeling of regret? The ground trembled with each passing step, much different from that of the Panther. What was a stampede coming to the Panther, Rafael was more of the wind. Raging Earth and gusting wind were to collide with each other more time, for what would be the final time. What pinged as a use of reiatsu to the Hollow resulted in his footing collapsing beneath him. A sharp pain strobbed out to every direction of his left ankle as it was felt sinking in. He knew what had happened.

Adrastos knew that it was Rafael's doing. During their brief confrontations the repitiion of such a maneuver was committed by the smaller black creature. With each dissappearance only resulted in the Panther closing the distance between them. Afterward, pain. Whether it was some trick, or the difference in speed, Adrastos didn't assume anything but that of the Panthers doing. It was the same as past encounters before. Fangs were drawn out from beneath of what remained of fleshy lips attached to the Hollow's mask, gritting at the immense pain that was rooting from the ankle as another sprouted out from his right. The feeling of nails digging in, Adrastos dropped his weight upon the Panther in response to the digging sensation. Litterally sitting on the issue at hand, the right leg felt a sudden nudge from down below which resulted in Adrastos' leg following the tugging motion. If this were to connect, than more than likely Rafael would have had pressure pushing into his backside while being squeezed. Yet, Adrastos was not certain of what was happening beneath him as a new tearing sensation was growing stronger.

Soon the Hollow's right leg would jerk itself into the clinging presence, pressing leg into the rough base of longated tail. However, this pressing motion, to squeeze the Panther against the Hollow's own body was only a means to help Adrastos to throw a portion of his weight to the left. As this was happening Adrastos would roll, utilizing his own leaning position to his left side because of the injury to his left ankle moments ago, drawing up his limp legs around, and back onto his right side. In this position, Adrastos would have himself laying on his right side in order to utilize his stored Burst Stream. This was the best position to place himself in as in any other position, if not laying on his sides, Adrastos wouldn't be able to completely direct his head to peer towards the rear of his body. Because of how his body developed he would have required to make nearly full turns to even see his own tail. This was problematic. However, while on the ground if the Hollow had made a slight adjustment, arching his torso to the side, then his head could complete the turn with the use of his neck to look over to his squeezing legs. This was the only means for him to use his technique.

The feeling in both of his ankles were fading away, but did not cease his use of knees, or thighs. If the Panther had clung, or even struggled to escape, then Adrastos could still make use of the technique as it was not directly aiming for him. Despite his efforts Adrastos couldn't target the Panther despite being so close to himself. No. The fact of the matter was because of the Hollow's body, he couldn't completely draw his head enough to see the beast. What Adrastos could only see were the sides of his own thighs. But the sight of his own legs were enough as the jaws peeled open to vent the built pressure within his abdomen. Immediately the rush of air would escape, witnessing the side of his own left hip being scrapped by the stream of air and reiatsu. What Adrastos was aiming for was not to directly aim at the Panther, but get the stream as close as possible for the secondary effects.

What light the Hollow saw soon after faded from his own eyes, feeling weightless as the world turned dark. Then, silent.

[Rafael]

A battle unlike any of the others that Rafael had taken part in throughout his life, one that had been an onslaught war between two individuals that unleashed pure physical might against one another. Now as the battle came to a close Rafael stood the victor although he couldn’t claim the satisfaction that he really wanted from this fight. It had been enjoyable that much would always remain true and he’d look back on it with fondness, but the fact he hadn’t been able to claim victory with nothing more than his physical might was enough to keep him from feeling the best possible way he could.

At this very moment the only thing comparable was a building falling around him. A sort of situation that even now as a Beast he wouldn’t welcome if he could help it yet controlling the body of this massive foe was still beyond him despite his best efforts. It seemed his attacks on the ankles were successful or at least more effective than simply striking and stabbing. Getting him down on the ground was the only thing Rafael believed he had to do in order to win, he of course wasn’t expecting what came next.

An attack that had ripped apart one of his arms previously in a moment, something that almost no other attack had managed to do since Rafael had discovered his ability. That very same technique it seemed was being unleashed against him once again now from a position that he couldn’t see and this guarding against it was a risk he’d have to take. Instead of standing there and just hoping he didn’t get torn apart in a spot his body couldn’t heal, well he was going to get out of the way.

He could tell what was happening by the sound the dinosaur was making and despite how much pain he was in and the migraine that was definitely plaguing him at the moment, Rafael managed to shift his weight along his ankles moving his back paws along the ground and vanishing as he accelerated that next step to the right. A massive figure of black that would seem almost comical next to something so much larger. In the moment that followed Rafael could just tell he hadn’t been fast enough.

The sensation that he was in trouble along with the noise of the dinosaur and the speed he moved at all of the factors and he still couldn’t get out unharmed. A dangerous technique for sure. Looking down Rafael collapses forward preventing his maw from slamming into the ground with his right hand. On his forearms and knees the large feline grins at the missing left piece of his leg. From the knee down on his left side was just gone proving once again that such a technique could actually kill him.

“Damn just when I was starting to think I wouldn’t need to try hard anymore.”

Rafael jokes to himself while he watches his bone and flesh already almost crawling down his figure rebuilding the missing section of himself. Pain overwhelming everything else the Beast looked back several dozen feet to see the dinosaur laying down bleeding quite a bit and from what he could tell passed out. The purple blood pooling down around him Rafael moves his face down a bit more to bite down on his right forearm, his fangs piercing as he endures the waves of pain cascading across his soul.


5 Minutes Later

Standing up Rafael could already feel like he’d been awake for several days, the amount of pain he’d suffered was beyond normal resulting in his normal demeanor just dropping off somewhere. This had been tiring yet incredible at the same time. So much so that now with his body completely healed Rafael begins to walk over to the dinosaur. His eyes continued to glow purple although he could already feel his ability waning. He had something to do and do it quickly he would. It started with standing beside one of the toughest opponents he’d ever fought with a smile.

“Thanks for all the fun, hope next time you give me an even better one.”

Holding out his right hand Rafael punctures the palm of his paw with his thumb claw. Placing his paw on one of the open wounds of the dinosaur Rafael allowed his blood to enter this other entity. Perhaps he’d wake up from the pain perhaps not. Either way Rafael had fun and this was his way of showing thanks. The dinosaur would suffer only pain as all the wounds Rafael had inflicted upon him were healed in the next few minutes. That missing arm which might have turned the tables . . . Well the dinosaur would wake up with that back too and next time hopefully it’d been an even closer match.
