Stefan VS Henrex [Greece Tournament Event]

This was no longer a fight, for some. This was a full brawl. Both fighters were most certainly aiming for a large bit of destruction to occur, no matter what kind that it would be. But, the difference in power could have been what others would be focused on. After all, Henrex's current matches in the tournament had been very much that. The first match, a demon that was twice as strong as him. And now, there was Stefan Soan, a man who was thrice his power. This was...interesting, to say the least.

But, interest was not going to do much within this blood-bath that his second match was turning into.

Swift replies to his attacks were issued, with the first leaving Henrex's hands trembling and vibrating uncontrollably. Channeling a small portion of energy into his hands to soothe what would normally be a painful repercussion, his hands soon were able to recover from this blow, but still forced him to think much more cautiously. Replying to his earlier statement about learning the two heavens, he listened intently as Stefan spoke about mastering, and surpassing Musashi in the Two Heavens. After what he had just witnessed, he had little reason to doubt the green-haired man that stood before him.

But, there would be less and less reason to doubt Stefan Soan after what was about to happen next. As he changed his weapon into the form of a similar style, a set of two swords, and his form switched. As his attacks were made, steel and electricity collided, sending sparks flying everywhere. Just about every single one of his attacks had been blocked, or dodged. He wasn't really surprised. Just by observing his stance, and the way that he fought, he could easily tell that he has much more skilled in the art of the sword than he was.

But, as the final strike missed him, Henrex could see the smile forming onto his opponent's face, and the corner of his eye picked up the movement of the right dao aiming towards his Zanpakutō. After seeing his skill with the sword? He really did not want to see what his strength would be like. So, his movements quickly were enhanced with the adrenaline that now pumped harder into his veins. Yanking his sword back, and taking a few quick steps backward to avoid the blow, Henrex just barely avoided the real danger. But, there was still the secondary part of the attack that was to come.

The powerful gust of wind hit him like a train, sending him flying backwards. His eyes watered from the wind that burned his eyes when they came into contact. Eventually, his wings spread out, causing his body to immediately begin to slow down. Slowing to a stop, Henrex's body landed on the ground, before taking off again, speeding towards Stefan, using Flash Step to aid his approach. Making a single thrust with his shorter sword, Henrex aimed to, well, in much more "colorful" terms, taze the ever-loving HELL out of his arm. Placing a large amount of electricity into the blade, he simply aimed to disable his arm.

The strike that hit the hilt of his weapon was faster than he could react. Slamming into the electrical blade and forcing it to deactivate, Henrex's eyes widened. Spreading his wings and flying backwards, he quickly tucked the now useless weapon into his shihakusho. Seeing Stefan retreat as well, the words that he spoke were...worrying. As he slammed his weapons together, forming one large zwiehander, Henrex held his sword with both hands, before taking in a deep breath. Get crazy, huh? That could be done. So, by channeling his energy into his weapon, and manipulating the shape and size of his Zanpakutō, the male would liken his weapon to Stefan's.

A large zweihander. As his opponent swung his sword, Henrex lifted his up to respond. But, his attack never finished. Another nearly concussive wind blast hit him, before his body was snagged by a chain. His weapon immediately switched back to the most common form it took; a katana. At this point, he would start hacking and slashing at the chain that reeled him in like a fish on a rod. As he raised his sword above his head to try and attack the restraint one final time, everything around him stopped.

Time froze. The power that had just impacted his stomach took his practically non-existent threshold, and made it real again. The most amount of pain that he had ever felt shot through his body. Not even a scream left him as his body embraced this pain. Several cracks would be heard as three of his ribs snapped under the pressure of the blow. But, luckily, his organs remained...mostly intact. While he did suffer a large amount of damage to the enhancement that the Cybermind had put into his lungs, heart, and brain, his organs themselves were fine.

While his major organs were not targeted, the force behind the blast certainly had caused air to be forced out of his lungs, and giving him the difficulty of breathing. Sent flying, his body skid and slid across the arena's grassy plains, before stopping. Gasps for air came from him for quite the extensive period of time, before his mind "reactivated", and he sat up. Staring at the now very distant Stefan, he heard every last word that he said. The only problem was the "Full Power" part. Currently, all his full power was...was his Shikai. But, he wanted his full power. So, he would give it to him.

Raising his sword from his side, his eyes would close, and the essence of dread would surround his body. Taking in a deep breath, he would slowly speak the words that would unleash his current full power.

"Embrace the dark, Chiya."

The sword that he held began to dim in color. Reaching the most dismal of colors, a seeping energy would begin to crawl up the arm of the half-breed, reaching his shoulder in mere moments. His hand gripped tightly against the handle of his weapon, while the shape of it would change into the form of a large scythe. Glowing with a cold, powerful, but yet melancholic aura, Henrex's Shikai would be revealed. But, the release of his Zanpakutō was not entirely about a release of power. There was a mental punishment that came to him because of this.

With a small sigh leaving his pale lips, the male lifted the large weapon level to his head, and ten cube-like objects surrounded his body, floating and rotating around him aimlessly, and endlessly. The now sullen gaze of Henrex pointed itself at Stefan, before his body would vanish, and reappear around a foot or so from the Soan, before a single swing of his new weapon was issued, letting off a mildly powerful swing from the sudden addition to the weight, but also releasing a large energy wave that would fly from the blade of the scythe.

Flash Stepping backwards and sending seven cores forward to merge, and fire an energy wave that was at the very least on par with multiple Ceros. Swirling his scythe around his body, the male would then move forward with his wings, before making several wide slashes, mainly aiming for the midsection area of Stefan's body. As these attacks were being made, the cores that surrounded his body would subtly drift towards Stefan, before the molecules within would quickly become unstable, forcing the cubes to detonate and send out Cero-level explosions around Stefan.

Raising his scythe above him, the arms of the male dropped, allowing the scythe to fall from it's position in the air, and aim to attack the head of Stefan. However, before it would even be halfway down, his body would vanish again, reappearing around ten or so yards away from where he was standing before.

"This...is my full power, currently. My Shikai."

As he was saying this, a black aura would come from his body, even colder than before. With his Zanpakutō released, Henrex was beginning to delve deep into the dark parts of his soul, and release them into the material world. The previously crimson eyes of the male began to tinge the color of purple, and a large burst of energy would shoot from his midsection in a 360 degree wave around him, sending a wave that resonated a frozen feeling, which would send chills throughout Stefan's body.

Now, it was time for his green-haired opponent to strike back.
