As Held caught the spear thrown from Charco, he almost paused for a moment, tempted to analyze it. It was not every day he came upon a warped version of his weapon wielded by his shadow self.
But, that moment would come later.
The Being was—if only for a moment—entirely undefended, the Nevadians compatriots creating an Achilles heel where non-existed previously. Not only that, so threatening were their efforts, that they demanded the entirety of its attention, allowing Held to fully exploit this opening.
Using his free hand, the Nevadian slapped the bracer that had adorned his arm for countless years, from the time that he had pilfered the device from Willia of the Red Raiders. It was a silent, steadfast companion, perceived as nothing more than mere defensive tool. It was a rare individual who could perceive the way in which the bracer was an expression of Helds own power and unknown warriors who had worn it before him.
Slowly, yet surely it accumulated power as it syphoned some of the Nevadian’s off, making it into its own.
Every breath, every battle, every ascension to newer heights of power Held achieved, the bracer eventually met—if not exceeded. On the one hand, Held always felt relief about having such an absolute trump card hidden so close to his chest. On the other, he felt quite concerned about anything that would require him to use it.
The muscles of his right arm expanded to gargantuan proportions as the energy stockpiled within the bracer poured into his body, the white light surrounding his hand shining with the strength of a miniature sun.
The sudden burst of energy was not something the Nevadian’s body was properly prepared for, the pain jolting his senses, as he focused his mind. His arm began to shrink down to normal proportions he contained and the power, refining and concentrating it to a singular point of impact. The energy diffused further into a narrow cone of energy protruding from his center knuckle.
Yards turned into feet, into inches in the blink of an eye as Crazy Horn galloped at full trot, closing the space between majestic beast and divine abomination until only the slightest distance remained between them.
The Nevadian extended his fist outwards towards the Being as his fist began to collide with the essence of his enemy. The singular point of the cone acted as a bard, a needle, penetrating into whatever it touched. This was to prepare for the true nature of the attack. Almost instantly, the cone began to extend outward and expand in a violent explosion of energy as it pierced, and ripped and stretched all in its path, before suddenly imploding inwards, sucking the victim into its destructive nexus.
Well, that was what would happen normally. With the immense power of the bracer loosed in unison, it was difficult for Held to anticipate the exact results.
This was the epitome of the Unicorn Arts, the highest skill passed down his line for generations, inspired from a very specific tale.
Held could only imagine the satisfaction Crazy Horn felt as the attack was used for its intended purpose—or close enough to it for that matter.
Unicorn Gores The Dragon!
