The Bloodline System



Author's Note: Unedited Chapter

----------------------

This was really the first time Gustav was witnessing anyone blast through his Energy Discharge with just physical strength alone. He had to admit that Captain Kriv was incredibly overpowered after activating his Core Transformation. 

Captain Kriv immediately threw a fist at Gustav's body so as to end this battle before Gustav could recuperate completely. 

[Lightning Blitz Has Been Activated]

Gustav instantly turned into a streak of lightning and reappeared on the other end of the barrier.

Bang!

Captain Kriv's fist slammed into the barrier on the other end causing it to tremble and flicker as a small tremor was generated once more.

"Hmm?" Captain Kriv realised that Gustav had appeared on the other end and reached out to grab a scrapped spacecraft by the side.

Fwwwhiii~

He immediately hurled the seven hundred feet large spacecraft across the battle stage like it weighed nothing.

Gustav had barely managed a single second of breathing space when he spotted the massive spacecraft shooting at him with intense speed.

His body turned slightly greenish as icicle like spikes shot out of the ground, forming a barrier around his battered body. 

The iro silk formed a triangular shaped barrier which stabbed into the spacecraft in mid air, causing it to get hooked as its descent immediately came to a stop.

Gustav watched his body slowly regenerate as Captain Kriv leapt across the air again.

Bam!

His fifty feet frame landed before the covering of Iro Silk which happened to still be extending all around Gustav, making it difficult to see through. 

Bang!

Captain Kriv threw a fist at the iro silk covering, blasting through layers of it as chunks of the icicle like covering scattered across the place.

Gustav's body remained green and slightly bloated as he kept generating iro silk non stop to make up for the parts that were blasted through.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

It was like the Iro Silk had turned to pieces of wood as Captain Kriv's fist kept penetrating them quite easily. The Iro Silk would usually be able to hold back barrages of attacks without getting damaged but in the face of Captain Kriv's fist, it was like paper.

Captain Kriv's fist kept shattering the Iro silk faster than Gustav could generate them but fortunately, Gustav had nearly regenerated completely by the time he shattered enough to arrive before him.

[Lightning Blitz Has Been Activated]

Gustav's body turned into a streak of lightning once more, reappearing on the west side of the barrier.

Bang!

Captain Kriv's fist descrated the vicinity again after missing Gustav. 

"Hnnnghh!" He turned and noticed Gustav thousands of feet away.

'I need to figure out if that happens only with physical attack or with any energy based attack,' Gustav thought back to how Captain Kriv had stolen energy from his fist in the last clash.

Gustav had used only physical strength when throwing out that fist earlier but it had been from part ultimate combination which he made to affect his right arm alone.

He wanted to confirm if Captain Kriv was capable of absorbing other energy based attacks or just physical attacks alone.

Gustav knew that if it was the former then the situation was very bad but he couldn't engage Captain Kriv without proper confirmation first.

'Speed... ' Gustav still knew he had the advantage in this aspect despite Captain Kriv's Core Transformation which also boosted Kriv speed.

[God Eyes Has Been Activated]

Gustav's eyes widened slightly in shock the moment he stared at Captain Kriv energy levels. 

Captain Kriv was no doubt the highest in physical prowess amongst all other captains and God Eyes confirmed this theory to Gustav. However, now wasn't the time to be smitten by his energy levels.

It was time to make the other confirmation. 

Thoooooomm~

Captain Kriv leapt forward while swinging another fist at Gustav's figure. Just like every other powerful punch before, the air was already sending ripples across the battle stage while the fist was still tens of feet away from making contact.

[Atomic Disintegration Has Been Activated]

Gustav's palms emitted a burst of milky glow as he thrust one of them forward intensely.

[Palm Thrust Has Been Activated]

A powerful wave of energy spread from his being as his palm tore through the air as well, headed straight for the incoming fist.

"You've finally stopped running!"

Captain Kriv grinned as he increased the intensity of his fist while descending from the air vibrantly. 

Gustav felt the strike of his palm weakening as Capatain Kriv closed his and scrunched his face a little.

Just when collision was about to occur...

[Lightning Blitz Has Been Activated]

Thhrraazzhhh~

Gustav's figure turned into a streak of lightning and reappeared on the east of the battle stage instantly. 

Boooomm!

A loud crash rang out once more as the entire stage trembled immensely while debris scattered in every direction. 

"Again?" Captain Kriv was starting to get frustrated as he gritted his teeth and turned to find the location Gustav had reappeared this time.

'Only the energy from physical thrust was absorbed... the energy from Atomic Disintegration was unaffected,' As Gustav came to this realisation he deactivated God Eyes.

He knew what he needed to do now but the only problem was how to go about it. Even being in a two hundred feet radius with Captain Kriv was disastrous so engaging him using only energy based attacks would be immensely difficult. 

'Time to go full throttle...' Gustav thought as Captain Kriv charged at him once more while roaring. 

[Ultimate  Combination Has Been Activated]

Gustav's figure transformed rapidly as silver scales grew out of his skin and he increased in height. Dark horns grew out of his forehead  reaching a length of three feet as they twisted upwards.

His entire figure was cascaded in an unfathomable silver glow as his muscled looked like it was about to rip through his blood soaked outfit. A long black tail could be seen from his rear and a Crimson glow appeared in his eyes.

It looked like the space around Gustav was twisting as he stared at the approaching opponent with a deep gaze.

Lowering his head a little, a violet colored energy began circulating in between his horns.

Streams of dangerous aura spread forth from Gustav's position causing Captain Kriv to turn a little wary but at this moment he was less than fifty feet away from Gustav so it was impossible to stop his attack.

However, even with the danger he felt, he knew his fist was increasing in power as it further approached Gustav so he wasn't too wary. At most they'd both take damage from this attack.

Just when Gustav's attack was about to blast forward...

[Lightning Blitz Has Been Activated]

Thrraazzhhhhh~

His entire figure suddenly vanished....

Captain Kriv's eyes widened as his fist collided with the barrier ahead once more causing a loud crash to ring out.

The sense of danger that vanished along with Gustav's presence suddenly reappeared above him in the next moment. 

Captain Kriv didn't even get the chance to react as a bright violet glow encapsulated the entire vicinity from above.

Dddhiiinnnnzzzzhhhhh!

A powerful and destructive violet beam shot downwards with intensity,  instantly slamming into him from above.

Boooooommmm!

The surroundings immediately caved as Captain Kriv's entire figure crashed onto the ground as the powerful beam caused his bodu to burrow into it mercilsessly from its intensity. 

This beam kept shooting downwards for a couple of seconds before it finally dimmed. By the time it thinned out, Captain Kriv's figure had been buried hundreds of feet into the ground while steam erupted.

Gustav's figure was high above, hovering close to the barrier since that was the current limit of Lightning Blitz. 

'The best way to go about this battle is to keep taking him by surprise... no direct contact,' Gustav said internally as he activated God Eyes once more.

Captain Kriv's back had been charred and rocks fell of his body as he tried to get up after the attack.

Gustav descended at this point.

Fwwwhiiii~ Bam!

The moment he landed in the crater which was thousands of feet deep, he activated another ability. 

[Gravitational Manipulation Has Been Activated]

Captain Kriv who was about to charge forward at Gustav once again suddenly felt an insurmountable force permeate the environment. 

Fhrrroouumm~

Before he could realise what was happening, his body ascended uncontrollably into the air along with pieces of rocks and dirt around him.

He hadn't managed to stabilise himself when Gustav opened his mouth.

"Kiiaaarrrrhhhhhhhh!"

Massive rings of sonic waves shot forth from Gustav's mouth, blasting into Captain Kriv's figure vigorously.

"Grrrhhhh!" Captain Kriv groaned as his earing and entire body trembled slightly while his figure shot further across the air.

Bang!

He slammed into the other end of the barrier while the sonic waves thinned out in the next moment.

'That didn't do much damage,' Gustav noticed as he stared at Captain Kriv with God Eyes.

("You have to use something more powerful... you're only aggravating him at this point,")

'His physical energy is increasing by the second... the longer this battle prolongs, the stronger he will get,' Gustav also came to this realisation using God Eyes.
