Titan Rising Online: World Breaker

The Lotus\'s came out of nowhere this time, surging from the ground as the blasted apart into hundreds of petals, all of them zeroing on Coles, location as they tried to shred him into a hundred different pieces. It was a worrying situation but Cole had the tools to defend himself as he activated [Gravity].

And while he could cover a lot more ground with the skill now, Cole dragged it closer to his body and made sure to put in in flux spinning some part of the skill left and the other right, just basically creating a chaotic gravity field that deflected everything that was thrown his way, then Izanagi shot at him.

Relying on the almost preternatural [Sin Seeking Eyes] Cole was able to see the trajectory of the bullet and deflected it out of the air, shocking everyone present, and even himself as he stared at the blade in his hands for a moment in absolute shock. And it was not just him, no matter how advance a stat someone had, they all knew blocking bullets, should be hard. Dodging it maybe, but deflecting it out of the air when stats affected the speed and power of a projectile and the gun that shot it was absolutely insane.

Izanagi was stronger than Cole, that much was expected, so Cole deflecting his bullet shot down the gang leader\'s credibility. Izanagi growled and emptied the chamber, firing the five remaining bullets in his revolver. Cole met all of them with the flat of his blade even slicing two of them out of the air as he jumped forwards, using gravity to properly his movement towards Izanagi.

[Black Cut]

About a Dozen lotus\'s interlocked in front of Izanagi to defend against Cole\'s attack, causing a rebound effect that blew him backwards. Cole stretched forth his left hand and fired off a [Chaos Blast] then immediately used [Lesser mind Control] on a bandit standing beside the woman holding the Mayor. He shot her point blank in the head, Causing Izanagi to turn around in shock, and just in time to watch her fall to the ground glass eyes, bloodied and very dead.

"Martha! Nooooo!"

Cole raised an eyebrow, Martha? Was this superman Vs Batman? Well it shouldn\'t be, but if this was anything like the Injustice story line, then shit was about to hit the fan… and rightly so. Cole crossed his blade in front of him as the lotuses gathered and slammed into him, throwing him backwards as one of the lotus smashed into the head of the man who had just fired the gun, killing whoever this Martha was.

[Spectral Rover]

Cole rushed over, grabbed the Mayor and ran like his life depended on it, well not his life, but actually the life of the mayor. He stopped besides Morgan and hoisted the Mayor over the back of the Mechanoid Direwolf and told him to get the mayor to the command tent of whoever was in charge, which should count as completing the bounty. Morgan took off at a run, leaving behind dust as Cole used [Shadow Dance].

He popped up in the threshold of the church as a massive Lotus smashed into the location he was previously on. He shifted to the left, letting a bullet fly past him as Izanagi showed up in front of him and slammed a bloody glowing fist into his chest. Cole was thrown backwards into the church, his body smashing through several pews as the blood within his body boiled and began to pour out of his pores.

It was an absolutely painful experience as he use [Gravity] to create a dome over his body, defending against the stream of lotuses gleaming with blood red light that kept on smashing against the dome. Cole felt a constant drain on his energy as Izanagi walked into the church looking crazed and very annoyed, a small black and red serrated dagger in his right hand while his left controlled the lotuses.

He leapt into the air, crossing the distance and bring is dagger stabbing through Cole\'s [Gravity] shield and straight for his face. Cole Moved his head to the side as the dagger sunk through the wood of crushed pews into the ground. [Gravity] had somehow been deactivated by this dagger, whatever the fuck it was, and then Izanagi dragged the dagger to the side, almost as if he wanted to lobotomize Cole by relieving him of the top half of his head.

Blue Obsidian went off, going through the shield and leaving a bullet in Izanagi\'s body. But even with activating [Double tap] the second bullet was intercepted by a lotus, but the force from the shot and at such a close range was enough to blast Izanagi off Cole and give him breathing space to use [Shadow Dance] to pop on the other side of the pew, right besides a woman in a white dress, who seemed to have been locked in the church with the mayor, but had obviously been here for her wedding…. Cole didn\'t care.

He grabbed her by the neck and placed her between himself and Izanagi as his lotus\'s came calling. And as they stabbed into her body, Cole did not stand on ceremony and used [Sin Eater] and [Sin Reaper] to both heal and replenish his energy. And just like before, using both skills activated soul reaper and her soul was added to the many others he already had in his possession.

Izanagi shot forwards, his dagger held high as he screamed his agony, Cole waited for him to get a little closer and used [Vertigo] Izanagi stumbled and Cole quickly took advantage as he used [Assassinate] stringing it together with [Black Cut] as the Black Malaki developed a grew hue and sped through the air at a speed far faster than what even Cole himself could follow.

But Izanagi was not so easily defeated as he raised the lotus around himself like a shield, Cole made a last moment decision at that moment an added ten whole points of [Negative Energy] into his sword, turning the grey hue on it to pitch black with flecks of purple and blue. Then the sword swept down and smashed into the lotus shield that Izanagi had put up… the result…. Was explosive.

*BOOM!*

Cole was blasted backwards, his body going head over heels, as he slammed into the pews again. Hundreds of wood chips found purchase within his body, gaining enough impact from the way he was thrown back to actually go past his defense. There was a whoosh and Cole\'s eyes widened in shock as bloodied Izanagi came back and stabbed his dagger straight through Cole\'s collar bone. He tried to cry out in pain, but the blade stabbed below his neck pretty much restricted his airflow as blood filled his lungs.

Izanagi grinned widely in anger, as he pulled out the dagger to stab down again, but Cole was not one who would just lay over and die. He had only planned on losing a single life on this floor and he already lost it. There was no way in hell he was going to let some fucked up Otaku called Izanagi Surugi end him, after all he had the blood of the Ryokan in his veins. If he was going to die here, then he was taking this bastard along with him.

[Vertigo] Izanagi puked all over Cole, a result that shocked the both, but Cole was used to dirty fighting, and while he never expected to get puked on, he was able to gather himself quickly and deliver a swift kick in between the legs of his opponent. The squeal he heard was satisfying, but what came next was even more satisfying as Cole fired off a [Chaos Blast] point blank in the face of Izanagi and used [Spectral Rover] to move away.

He watched in literal slow motion as Izanagi was blasted backwards, crossing the entire church building until he got to the end and slammed his back against the massive statue of the cross that was hanging in the air. Cole sent two daggers flying from within his cloak pinning the man to the cross in a true crucifixion style.

Time sped back up, and Cole used double jump, going up, moving out of Izanagi\'s line of sight as he activated [Fade[ at the height of his jump and held Black Malaki with both hands pointing downwards. His invisibility did not disappear until his sword was planted to the hilt Izanagi Surugi\'s heart.

Cole looked up at him his eyes blazing as his opponent smiled then spat into Cole\'s face, then he chuckled and said to him.

"I was just like you once, I thought I was a hero and I was doing whatever the system told me to do for the greater good… but eventually you will realize the truth… you are just a tool and soon enough you too will be discarded. I promise you…" he began to fade but Cole delivered a sharp slap to him that seemed to send a jolt of adrenalin into his body to keep him alive a little bit longer.

"I am nothing like you, because I don\'t do this for the greater good punk I\'m doing it for my own good. I don\'t give a shot about nothing else. And if the system feels that it can get rid of me, then I welcome it to try because unlike you…. I will not get my life ended by some kid from Nyanya Abuja! Now die properly"
