When is Rilla a race?

@Skallagrim

NoW: LeeRoy vs. Melonhead Rnd 2.

Hmm, a different set of events than I imagined, but that's the arena for you I guess.

You know I do really like the why Matz uses magic, he actually uses Somatic components. An art I thought was dead in the arena when it comes to powers or magic. You have no idea how annoying I find the idea of people manipulating elements and powers with nothing but a thought or with their minds with no outward signs. Heck T1 even says you have to make it apparent your using an ability or prepping... >.>

Though he does weave precise hand gestures so fast it would make the hand signs in Naruto look like stop-action slow motion. :P

Leveling The Playing Field

The fierce gust of air from his opponents had sent the handheld grenade tumbling off course. Striking a stone just eight feet further ahead to Tabluraths right. Bouncing off the rock before bursting apart in midair. The effect was sudden and potent; causing the immediate area to suddenly become cloaked in a dense cloud of opaque ash. Line of sight was abruptly lost -at least for his opponent- as a radius of roughly thirty feet was blanketed in mibs.

The thick cloud was densest closes to the floor as it swept across the uneven ground. This turn of events didn't faze the general as he simply adjusted to his secondary plan having gained a plethora of new information from his opponent. Given what he had observed thus far he concluded that his opponent controlled three sources of energy. Light. Heat. Air.

In an instant he digested this information. ‘He can control the air around him to a yet undefined range, but not control wind itself with any great precision. He unsurprisingly feared my grenade despite not knowing its payload, enough to redirect its planned path, but not move out of its possible range--In fact he moved toward me in what could only be the perceived blast radius had it been a lethal explosion. Possible foresight into the immediate future? Unlikely, such behavior would have been detected during his first match. The same goes for reading minds I would have perceived such psionic intrusions. Blind luck? Perhaps.’ Still Tablurath had yet to use his grenades in any fashion previously, so it was impossible to know what had sparked that initial reaction. The Cardinal would be more than a little interested in learning the reason behind his opponent’s actions. This thought pattern all happening in the instant his opponent began speeding forward.

Still the why was surely unimportant at this juncture was it not? He finished his observations by the time his opponent was surrounded in his ash storm which was enough for now. The energy expanded in the wind had been gathered only in piecemeal by Mercy. Which offered Tablurath a rare opportunity.

He smiled. “Twenty percent potential.”

He flicked and swung his blade upward in a tight arch. Bringing the sword into a natural high guard with his left hand as his left foot was drawn back behind his right- Mercy’s tip pointed at an angle down to the ground and across his chest. His right hand currently resting on Serenity’s handle. The sharp movement had activated the mibs in the air around him, causing them to quickly replicate a sword clone which followed the momentum upward. That clones spin began the creation of two more brothers just like it that followed now a small group of blades in quick spinning rings. Their construction complete as they ended their upward momentum as their tips met resistance at the ceiling of moving aurora like energy above.

The starlhrim now within the cloned swords both absorbed and rejected this new form of energy and were repelled violently. Very violently. They accelerated over 1,500 miles an hour and flew earthward again impaling the stones around Tablurath in a tight circle with him at the center. In the end leaving more than two dozen blades sticking out of the ground like a crude field of trophies. Each sword now a deep ocean blue to Tabluraths energy sensitive eyes. A stark contrast to his opponent who was a brilliant orange gold in a sea of blackness. All this within a second and a half time thanks to the fact the ceiling was so low.

Tablurath doubted this would catch his opponent unless he was truly foolish enough to continue charging headlong while momentarily blinded by a sea of ash. Khazna dipped then flicked his sword up again in a silent command. The cloud of ash spun outward as the space between himself and his opponent suddenly became clear once more. The cloud swirling around them without sound like a storm of black rose petals.

He judged that Raelis would be only a little more than 3 meters away at this point. Tabluraths eyes zeroing in on the strings of power emanating from their body. The count now at two threads in all collected around his sword and legs.

“Well, I think we’re due to finish our warm up, don’t you?”

NoW: LeeRoy vs. Melonhead Rnd 2.

<Snipped quote by GreivousKhan>

Like I said though, that's literally the most extreme wide part of your body, unless your standing in a wide stance, which isn't really the case here.

To be fair, that picture was like five years ago, you can ask Rilla if I'm lying if you want, I added him on FB a while back.

@MelonHead

I assumed ya'll were talking about shoulder width at the very least, not totally caught up on this fight today. Won't lie, thought Shin would have won by now.

Also no offense, I'm not all that interested in seeing pictures of you. :K

NoW: LeeRoy vs. Melonhead Rnd 2.

Carrying a measuring tap comes in more handy for the arena than it does for my job. >.>

NoW: LeeRoy vs. Melonhead Rnd 2.

I'm sorry, but in no universe is Shin two feet wide. I think you might have forgotten I'm over 6ft 3" myself with broad shoulders, I used myself to judge. If he happened to have been standing in the widest stance of all time then by all means that might be possible, but that would simply mean he should have been stabbed in the feet. However he was in the act of stepping. Plus, it's really irrelevant how wide he is at the top, lower bodies are slender, and that's all the spikes needed.

If I had to judge, Shin would probably be about a foot and a half wide if he was in the act of stepping, presuming he has anything close to a normal human body type.

@MelonHead

I remember the pic you posted once upon a time looked waaaay scrawnier. Has nothing to do with anything but just an observation.

Hmm, average male shoulder width is 25.7 inches (or 40-48 cm)...closer to 2 feet than I thought. But ya I got out a measuring tap and 2 feet is not that off actually. It SOUNDED absurd but it checks out apparently...Damn you skinny :P

Never trust a man named Rilla, they are devious and dangerous.

@Skallagrim

That's racist.

@Skallagrim Hey old bones what exactly is Cold light? Is it a solid? Gas? Plasma? What happens if you touch it or something touches it?
