Azure and Prism Vs The Yeti
"Haa~ Haa~. Okay... I'm at my limit." Christopher wheezed as he struggled to stay on his feet. Even for him, the gravity was simply unbearable.
He was drenched in sweat... well, he would be, but his clothes constantly cleaned him the moment the sweat left his pores, so he was still clean despite being pushed to the limit.
He didn't even try to straighten as his muscles screamed at him. He couldn't take another step, let alone stand straight.
Still, he was satisfied.
'Just managed to cross the 1,000-mile mark. Phew.' He tried to wipe his brow of sweat, but his mask was in the way, and it had already removed the sweat, so it was a pointless venture.
After catching his breath, Christopher got ready to teleport, but then he paused.
'Oh?' He squinted his eyes as he looked forward. A few feet away, he noticed an almost invisible demarcation in the snow. He quickly recognized what it was, and his eyes lit up.
'Oh wow, I reached the end.' The realization surprised and elated him.
'Hm, but there's the gravity.' He tilted his head and immediately regretted it. The force made him feel like someone was trying to rip his head off his body.
'It's right there. Just a few more steps. I can reach that, right?' He was tempted to try, but he feared that he wouldn't be able to handle it. The strain he was experiencing right now was simply immense.
However, it didn't take him long to make a decision.
'Screw it, I haven't taken any damage so far anyway. I'll survive.' With that, he forced his leg to move and took another step.
When he did, he gritted his teeth as the immense gravity doubled and his back hunched over even more. However, he wasn't going to give up so easily.
With a grunt, he took another step, and another, and another.
'I'm... right... THERE!' He roared in his mind as he took the final step and crossed the almost invisible line.
The moment he did, the gravity vanished, and his body went limp. He collapsed and rolled on his back, his breaths coming out in strained wheezes, his body hurt.
However, he felt a deep sense of satisfaction. How long had it been since he strained himself like this?
He lay there and waited for his body to recover, which didn't take that long. Whatever strain he had was healed in less than a minute.
"Phew~." He stood up and stretched, a series of satisfying pops leaving his body. When he finished, he placed his hands on his hips and looked up, feeling proud.
'That went well if I do say so myself.' He thought. Then he paused and looked to the side.
There was a blue crystal floating there was an interesting Aura.
'Hm.' Christopher narrowed his eyes slightly as he stared at the center of this new zone.
A moment later, a fur-covered arm burst from the ground and grabbed the thick ice. With a low growl, something pulled itself out of the ground, and Christopher recognized it almost immediately.
"Ah, shit. It's a Yeti!" He exclaimed, more in surprise than wariness.
As soon as it pulled itself out of the ground, it looked up and let out an earth-shattering road and blew ice and snow in every direction.
'Peak Apex rank. Interesting.' Christopher noted as the Yeti ended its roar and looked down at them. The thing was about ten meters tall.
Christopher thought about fighting, but he remembered his thoughts from not long ago and said lightly.
"Azure, Prism, you two handle this one." As he said that, the yeti growled and frigid air left its nose as it stared down at Christopher and Azure.
It took a few steps before breaking into a run, its body blurring as it moved at a speed that didn't match its size.
It reached Christopher and Azure in an instant, and due to Christopher's mask, it judged him to be the weaker one as it couldn't sense his Aura, so it ignored Azure and went straight for Christopher.
Its arm bulged as its muscles tensed and rippled beneath its white fur.
With a powerful roar, it clenched its fist and threw a devastating punch at Christopher, the force causing the ground beneath them to shatter.
However, before its fist could land, an Azure shield appeared in its path and blocked the attack.
Surprisingly, there was no impact or shockwave to indicate that such a powerful attack was incoming. Instead, it was as though all the force was dissipated the moment it hit the shield.
Azure who had blocked the attack looked at the Yeti calmly, her cold eyes meeting its enraged ones.
The Yeti roared and brought its other fist down as well, but the result was the same as the force was dissipated on impact.
Enraged, it unleashed a flurry of blows that should have caused irreparable damage to the surrounding area. But instead, they hit the shield and did nothing.
That wasn't to say the Yeti was just blindly smacking the shield, it was trying to punch past it to hit Azure or any possible weak point, yet Azure was as steadfast as a mountain in a storm. Besides moving from side to side ever so slightly to block certain attacks, she hadn't retreated nor had she advanced, just calmly enduring the attacks.
'Interesting.' Christopher tried (and failed) to rub his chin when he saw this scene. Not just because of how well Azure was handling the Yeti, but because of what she was doing to the force she unleashed.
It was difficult to spot, but Azuere was gradually absorbing the force the Yeti unleashed and storing it somewhere.
'Definitely an application of her force attribute.' Christopher noted as he continued to watch, completely unperturbed by the massive Yeti.
Eventually, Azure decided that she had done enough. Suddenly, just as the Yeti was preparing to unleash another barrage of punches, she took a step forward and thrust her shield forward.
All the force accumulated from the Yeti's onslaught was unleashed in an instant and the Yeti as well as the ground and everything in that general direction was blown away.
