Doeji: Uh oh. Well, out of all the places I didn't expect to meet you here…
Mace: Im glad I caught you here…Doeji.
Doeji: Uhh this is probably the time for me to start going. Good seeing you!… I guess.
Mace: You’re not leaving so easily.
Mace unsheathes the sword on his back. He has a very unique sword that was custom-made for him. The blade is curved and the tip almost resembles the fangs of a snake. That is why he’s known as the Serpent Swordsman.
Doeji: C’mon man, we can talk about this.
Mace: No more playing around. Either fight me…or die.
Doeji: Jeez no in between? Really? *sigh* Fineee.
Doeji digs into his pocket and pulls out a gold coin.
Doeji: If you wanna get serious…
A grin forms on his face.
Doeji: Then let's do this!
Mace then wastes no time, he charges at Doeji, dashing threw the obstacle-filled forest. He pulls his sword back as if ready to swing though he doesn't, he grips the handle with both hands tightly.
The tale has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the violation.
Mace: GRANDIOSE!!
With that simple call in an instant, the blade of Mace’s sword tripled in length and the fangs on the end grew larger and sharper almost as if the sword had come to life with that command.
Mace's Ryu ability allows him to have complete control over all aspects of his sword, that includes the length of its blade, the size of the blade, and even the shape of the sword itself.
Doeji now had little to no time to react. He maneuvered his coin on his thumb and flicked it behind him with incredible force. Mace was now close enough to let off a powerful strike. With full confidence in his attack, he swung his sword. The blade sliced right through the trees that filled that area, creating an open playing field with the moon lighting the bare patch of forest ….but Mace was met with confusion.
All that remained from where Doeji stood was a cloud of golden dust.
Mace: Bastard…
While the coin is spiraling through the forest, a shine of golden light appears, shining brighter than any star out that night. That shine only lasted a second or two until Deoji was then seen standing, grasping the coin in his fist.
Mace( in mind): Oh…I see. Using that coin, he can teleport. That’s his Ryu ability.
Mace surprisingly let out a slight grin.
Mace: I really hope you don’t think that little gimmick will save you.
Mace reverted his sword back to its original size and pointed it out in Doeji’s direction. Doeji, staying on guard, took a couple of steps back.
Mace: No matter what…my sword will always hit its target!!
In the next moment, Mace’s blade stretched out like a cobra ready to attack. Thanks to his previous attack his sword didn’t need to twist or maneuver around to quickly close in on Doeji. Doeji, without a moment's hesitation, flicked his coin far off somewhere behind him. In that same instant, he disappeared leaving only a cloud of golden dust which Mace’s blade pierced through.
