Koma Inu Tournament Round Four: Aiden vs. Arthur

It was a typical typical day around the well-known guild throughout Fiore, Koma Inu. The sun was shining, the sky was bluw without a single cloud, it wasn't particulary windy outside, but gentle breeze played with the tall grass-patches on the back side of the guild, near an entrance to a forest behind the guild's main hall. An optimal location for a battle, as neither of the mages could use their surroundings as an advantage.

Arthur was the first one to arrive. He knew that this battle won't be as easy as the other ones. He knew his opponent very well, as they are close friends. The two were always fighting on the same side, but this time, it was completely different. Arthur knew he had to go big or go home. That's why he decided to go in full offensive mode in the early battle, as he knew what Aiden is capable of. Waiting for his opponent, he decided to try and come up with a tactic good enougn to beat his comrade.



"Shall we?" asked Arthur sarcastically as he bowed to his opponent. He didn't hesitate much, as he decided to use his usual trump card right away. Conjuring a pair of almost identical twin keys, Arthur put them in front of himself. The two began levitating and upon touching, started to release numerous gold-like strings weaved purely out of celestial energy that soon began to twist around as the keys separated. The said string construction started forming a large sigil, from which five miniature sigils, each one with a socket, were formed within seconds. The magnificent construction levitated in front of Arthur as it glowed brightly. As he moved his right hand in a circular moton, he formed five keys in front of himself, three golden, a crystal and a jade one. Each one of the keys entered their designated socket and began to glow in teir respective colours. Around Arthur were now to be seen five, or better say six spirits: Gemi and Mini, the Twins, Taurus, the Bull, Leo, the Lion, Puella, the Charm and Tuzi, the Whie Rabbit.

Arthur also took a blue key, chanting "Open, Gate of the Never-Ending Water!", releasing a jet of crystal-blue water from the tip of the key out of which Voda was formed. She quickly started conjuring water around Taurus who absorbed it with his axe. Tuzi took several steps back, allowing the other spirits and Arthur to stand in line directly in front of Aiden. "No time for warming up.." said Arthur with a grin as he pointed two golden keys towards Aiden. Quickly, the spirits, alongside Arthur yelled "Unison Raid! Celestial Spirit Style!". In matter of miliseconds, the spirits all let out numerous attacks directed towards Aiden from all sides.

Arthur simply sent out a laserbeam of Celestial energy towatds Aiden from the key in his right hand, while sending three celestial comets from the one in his left hand. Gemi formed a small dense black sphere in his right hand from which numerous (roughly 20)  shadow-like phantoms were released, all of which would explode upon touching Aiden. Mini, on the other hand, pointed her hands towards Aiden. Each of her finger tips began glowing brightly and soon released a small orb of pure light, designated to explode upon contact with Aiden. Taurus absorbed the water around him conjured by Voda as he sent out three wave-like cresent constructions towards Aiden. Leo has put his right arm forward, out of which a phantom lion was formed that moved towards Aiden like a projectile. Voda sent out a massive torrent of water towards Aiden, aiming for his feet. Finally, Puella created several yellow and flaring red hearts that were sent towards Aiden. All of the attacks seemed to act as one, orbiting around Aiden, leaving no spot uncovered, attacking him from all sides.
