Chapter 864 Mythical Battle With Xin being who she was, she had faced many different types of Altered, but going up against Gil was the most unique one yet. For one, he was a rare Mythical type. There were some of these in the AFA, but she hardly got to see the full extent of their power. The Mythical types had great power and a chance of great elemental ability as well. Not only that, but she had seen something somewhat unique to an Altered which she hadn’t seen before. The fact that Gil was able to transform his body, and in doing so, it affected his powers. Being large in size, he was strong and durable, while being smaller in size he had incredible speed. It was because of these transformations that Xin had felt like she had already seen it all. They had been fighting for a while now, so he had to have used either his partial or full transformation. There was nothing left for him to show, with no surprises, it was time for her to finish off the fight herself. 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞 The one wing that extended out from her back, the same size as a hand, was covered in yellow sparks that continually went off. They were condensed in size, growing behind her to the point it was nearly three times the size it was before. She bent her knees slightly, ready to shoot off, giving it her all in this attack. That’s when she noticed something strange occurring with Gil himself. ‘What is this!’ Xin thought. ‘His eyes, they’ve gotten darker, and this strange smoke that’s coming off from his body.’ She could feel her fingertips shaking slightly just from this change. His outer appearance had changed much. His body was just reverting from its smaller self back to its bigger self. ‘So you know you can’t beat me with speed, so you’re going to try and take me out with power, then bring it on!’ Xin thought. She had heard Gil mumble a few words to himself. He was speaking in a low voice, but all of it she needed to ignore and just focus on the fight. “Die!” Xin shouted. The wing on her back had caused a lightning strike to occur, starting from the wing it shot up in the air. Like a bang, her whole body moved straight forward. While moving through the air, she was met directly with a large object that met right in front of her. Her entire body had crashed into a heavy weight, and the sparks went out, hitting the nearby trees and destroying some of the windows in the hospital behind her. More importantly, though, she was wondering what had just happened. “How…how are you still in front of me!” Xin shouted. She was looking directly into Gil’s eyes; they were pitch black, with a smile. Gil was in his large form, but he wasn’t in the same place as he was before; he had managed to meet her in the middle, matching her speed and not just her speed, her strength as well. “I don’t know why, I don’t know why I was fighting it for so long when I could have been this strong!” Gil claimed as he lifted Xin up trying to grab her. Still in her form, she could move lightning fast, and she started to kick the air. With each kick, she could hover and move in place for a moment. She had moved to the ground to above, and then came to the side, delivering a kick across Gil’s face. It had hit, turning his head slightly, but he stood still in place like a mighty boulder. Xin continued, though, moving through the air and striking different points again and again all over. While doing this, she was holding her breath, making each of the movements. ‘How can this be, he’s not moving fast now, but before, even though he was in his large size, he managed to meet me. Not just that, I’m sure his larger form has become more durable than before. ‘Even in his big form, if I hit him, he would have been drastically hurt.’ With Xin running out of breath, she needed to think of something fast, but before she could even think of anything, moving his hand from his side, Gil had grabbed onto her leg and threw her right into the floor. “Stay down!” Gil said with his deep voice. A darkness that surrounded him had begun to move from his body and seeped to where Xin was. She had been hit hard by the attack; her side was hurting, maybe a few bones broken, but that wasn’t it. This strange power that was seeping out of Gil, it was keeping her tied down. It felt like an invisible force was on top of her. “This is…your strange power…but it’s stronger than before.” Gil had his hand raised, and he was using his special elemental power. A power that gave him slight control of gravity in a certain area. A large force of power was being felt on top of Xin, to the point where she could no longer move. “I should have accepted his offer a long time ago,” Gil said with a smile. He pulled his hand away, but his power was still in effect, and then lifting his hand, he threw it right down. In the middle of throwing his fist down, a loud bang came from his side. It was heavy, and Gil was lifted off his feet and fell to the floor. A strong force in the state he was in now, he thought nothing could hit him so hard. As he tumbled to the ground, Xin could feel the strange power no longer working on her, and she quickly tried to get up. That’s when she could see what had happened. “Austin!” Xin called out, remembering his name but not really having spoken to him much before. “There was a lot of noise, the whole building was shaking, and I could even feel an electric shock,” Austin replied, as he stood, bandages hanging from his arms. He had already transformed into his own Mythical form, that of the Minotaur. His legs of that of a beast, his head and part of his arms covered in fur. His size was just as large as Gil. Gil stared at the window of the hospital; he could see that it was broken, one of the levels that were high up. “Did this guy jump from there, these annoying flies. They keep coming from everywhere. Two on one, five on one, I don’t care, bring on everyone, I will burn this whole city that ruined my life to the ground!” Gil screamed as the immense power seeped out from his body. Austin was grunting slightly, his body still in pain and not having fully recovered. Xin standing next to him had an idea of that but didn’t say anything. How could she when they both needed to fight with their lives on the line to take out what was in front of them. ***** ****
