Her body froze in the air but her thoughts were alive and running wild. 'What, I can't–I can't control my body ?' It was only 2 seconds until she finally grasped her body back but that was enough time for Raph to propel his body towards her in the air. He charged at her, his sword ready to strike down when she quickly floated further away from him. His sword swung down on her previous position and a small curse escaped his lips. The I SEE YOU trait that he obtained after reaching 5th star was dealing repercussions on his mental prowess. He groaned quietly. His expression turned into a scowl as he landed on the ground. During his 5 years of training, Raph had quickly learned the first 6 Chapters of the Jun Swordsmanship within 2 years. It was the second time he mastered it and it was far easier this time with his past memories. However the last 3 years were more gruesome. He had learnt to control aura and mana simultaneously and it was nearly impossible for him to do so. But he found a way. He could convert mana to aura and aura to mana within seconds now. And he could use his traits to the best of his abilities now. The I SEE YOU TRAIT granted him special techniques each time he learned to improve the use of his eyes during battle. The first was the ability to see through. He could see it all, mana pathways and mana circles. Aura stars and aura pathways. Even ki. The energy formed in the dantian. He could see it all with his eyes. The second was the ability to intimidate and form illusions. His gaze sent an intimidating aura to those that are weaker than him. And it made those that are stronger than him feel uncomfortable. He could also form illusions within the target's eyes. Forcing them to see ghastly things. Whatever he desired, he would twist it into terribly, horrible Illusions for the targets. The third was the ability to freeze. Though it relied on how strong he is and how strong his opponent are. It's the ability to freeze his targets for a specific period of time depending on how strong they were. It worked perfectly well and for about 3 hours for those that are at least two circles or stars below him. It worked for at least 30 minutes for those that are at least a circle or star below him. And it worked for at least 3 seconds for those that are at the same level as him. Even lesser, if they are slightly higher. It doesn't work for targets with a higher circle or star. So it was an ability meant for subduing the weak. He had accomplished all this within 3 years of constant practice and training. Though he was far from mastering them all. He had at least found a way to use them in the best possible situation. There is a fourth technique that he obtained but the amount of mental strain it caused was equivalent to all of his mental fortitude. There was a subtle darkness that hid behind the golems but it was gone. Instead a fiery red light illuminated the darkness. The golems quickly separated when the fire suddenly blew out ferociously. It caused a sonic explosion as it burnt down the swords with its fiery might and spread throughout the Arena. It reached Raph within seconds and he was forced to form another igloo. Continuously fortifying it with snow as it melted rapidly. The water swirled around Ciara, taking the shape of beasts as they shot out towards the igloo. Slamming into it with great force. He was forced under the terrible heat time and time again and the water made things worse by causing holes in its defense. Some parts of his body were burnt but he remained straight. Fixing the holes that had formed on his igloo. And fortifying it when there was none. This continued for a few more seconds when he suddenly heard the sounds of howling and rumbling. It was the wind. It pushed the igloo and him with it towards the walls of the Arena. The force, strong enough to cause a building to capsize. He grunted in pain, blood spilling out of his every pores but he refused to go down. "Everything is ice !". A cold mist surrounded him. The igloo had been destroyed and the wind had nearly sent him to the walls of the Arena. "Arctic Frost !". BOOM. The Arena was immediately filled with tall glaciers and protruding icebergs. It grew up into the sky and filled the walls of the Arena with a cold delight. A cold chilling sensation crept up the spines of the Audience and a cracking noise assaulted their ears. The glaciers were breaking. Some fell towards the Stands but it was stopped thanks to the protective barriers. While some just toppled over. The floor of the Arena had been consumed by tall glaciers and ice spikes protruded out of many. Ciara was hovering over the scene. An expression of awe engraved on her face. Some few feets below her, Raph's hands protruded out of the Ice and he forced the rest of the body out, heaving terribly. He sat down for a while, his gaze fixed on Ciara as a smirk grew on his lips. Ciara's body shook terribly. Her expression grew cold. Her brows furrowed deeply and her lips curled into a bitter grin. An exasperated and annoyed expression grew on her weary face. 'Fucking Unprecedented Scenarios'. She glared at him furiously. Her best did not work on him, so what now ?. Of course, she needed to use her last resort.
