The end of a confrontation



Jonathan takes a deep breath, his gaze completely serious as he gets into a fighting stance, Jack smiles as he also positions himself, Jonathan's body had slight spasms, derived from the power that flowed beyond its limits in his body, without further ado, Jonathan tears through the air going towards Jack. Jonathan strikes Jack's left and right corner, while the latter, after receiving the blows, retaliates by elbowing him in the head, but before he can get too far away, he grabs Jonathan's head and punches him once more, but he doesn't let himself be shaken and headbutts Jack, then kicks his left leg, making him fall, Jonathan grabs his head and begins to send consecutive knees to his face, Jack takes a while to recover and manages to raise his arms to defend himself, Jack grabs his knee and moves away, while pushing his head back, freeing himself from Jonathan's hands, the two move away, then advance towards each other once more.

In another location nearby...

Olivia feels the eruption of Vitalis coming from where Jonathan was, this was a previous sign from Jonathan, which would indicate to her that things were not going well, and that she should execute the plan. Olivia stands up, uncertain about this, but soon takes a deep breath and goes where she should go, Olivia arrives at a deposit of artifacts, where she searches for a specific structure.

[Artifacts in this world are created from a large accumulation of Vitalis in a specific region, however, an individual cannot create an artifact, since this concentration of Vitalis must be natural and slow, not something forced and fast. The artifacts have different functions and shapes, from types of weapons like a knife that is very efficient in cutting stones, but somewhat useless for meat, or a simple square that explodes]

Olivia finds what she wanted, six pillars, a chain coming out of the top of each pillar and a hexagonal object in the middle, she quickly takes everything and puts it in a truck driven by Leonard, she goes to a region near the fight between Jack and Jonathan, there she unloads the pillars, she places the hexagon in a region, Nikolas who was with them, makes a circle around the hexagon, while Leonard positions the six pillars on top of the circle line, from the center to the edge of the circle there was a distance of ten meters, Olivia goes to a pillar, while Nikolas and Leonard go to other pillars, each of them imbues all their Vitalis in the respective pillar, after that, they sit down and wait for a while until they recover their Vitalis, the energized pillars glow, ten minutes later everyone there managed to recover their Vitalis is spent and they go to the three remaining pillars, once again, spending all their Vitalis to energize the pillar.

Nikolas is 45 years old, 1.75 tall.

Olivia: that's enough

Leonard: how tiring...

Nikolas: so, who are you going to use this on?

Olivia: it won't be me who's going to use it, you know that Jonathan is being sought, but you also know that this is defamation, right?

Nikolas: yes, but if there's someone who can hunt that man, then he must be very strong

Olivia: so, let's use this on this hunter

Leonard: and he's a great hunter, I almost died and he didn't even seem to be making an effort

Nikolas: and look, you and Matheus were close to Jonathan's strength

Nikolas: that guy evolved really fast, and he's still evolving, but we all are, right?

Olivia: maybe... But some evolve faster than others

An explosion of the confrontation between Jack and Jonathan happens

Olivia: oh... We better stop talking and get out of here, send the signal that everything is ready, Leonard

Leonard: ok

Nikolas: but couldn't we really help him?

Leonard: no way, that guy would kill us all really quickly

Leonard raises his hand up and throws a flare into the air

Olivia: if he needs it, then we'll help, but without putting ourselves at risk, okay?

Leonard: uh-huh

Nikolas: yes

Jonathan manages to grab both of Jack's arms, spinning him in the air until he finally throws him against a nearby mountain, forming a crater with the impact. Jack screams as a blast of fire hits Jonathan, who punches the ground and uses the debris created as a shield. Jack then flies towards Jonathan once again. As Jonathan was distracted defending himself from his previous blows, he is unable to defend himself from Jack's massive kick to the center of his stomach. He feels the impact quite a bit, falling to the ground. Then Jack does a somersault backwards and starts forward again, as if he were stepping on Jonathan on the ground, but Jonathan rolls on the ground away from Jack. He manages to get up. He raises his arms in defense, while Jack throws several punches towards Jonathan's face, but Jack hits Jonathan's left rib. Jonathan takes the opportunity and kicks the right side of Jack's face. Jack in turn grabs his leg and brings him closer, elbowing him in the nose. Jonathan lets go his leg, kicking Jack away, Jonathan falls to the ground, but soon gets up, then he hits the ground hard, creating a mini earthquake, with the ground beneath them shaking, Jonathan creates a spear of light and throws it at Jack, hitting his left shoulder, but Jack, who did not defend himself, was one in concentrates Vitalis and does the Maximumgehennae, which throws Jonathan away, the same raises his hand in Jack's direction, benefiting from the distance created and managing to activate his Gelidainertia technique, trapping Jack in place, who tries to free himself with all his strength roaring, he notices the flare and then lets go of Jack, running in the direction where the flare appeared, jumping between the mountains of debris created until there, Jack follows him, also noticing that flare.

Jack's thoughts: what is that? A trap... Yes, there must be something where he is going, but... Am I going or not?...

Olivia: They're coming!

A burst of light passes through the three, they see it and look at each other

Leonard: It's the signal, we're going to have to fight

Jonathan passes through the same path as the lightning, looking at the three and nodding, the three leave where they were and go against Jack, who was furious, he launches a Maximumgehennae that tries to push the three away, but Olivia draws her katana and blocks the blow, while Nikolas removes his saber and lunges against the attack, while Leonard raises his arms and takes the damage. Jonathan reaches where the pillars were positioned, he stands near the hexagon and places his hand on the hexagon, it glows and begins to float, staying in the air, at a height of 5 meters, he then notices the noises of the three trying to hold Jack, but soon hears that the sounds have stopped, followed by Olivia being thrown away.

Olivia: Don't worry, nothing bad happened, we're all... Well, if I can say it that way

Jonathan: I get it, everything's fine now, I can take care of things, you'll just die in vain if you try to help me

Olivia: Okay, we're retreating, should we go ahead with the plan then?

Jonathan: Yes... Take good care of him, okay? {melancholic tone}

Olivia: I hate this idea of ​​yours, anyway, goodbye... Jonathan {raises her hand and shakes Jonathan's hand, then sees Jack arriving, she leaves with Leonard and Nikolas}

Jack: What was that? I thought it was a trap, but it was just reinforcements?... {notices the pillars and the flying hexagon} so there really is a trap? A bit blatant, don't you think?

Jonathan: {laughs lightly} It may be, but I wouldn't call it a trap

Jack advances towards Jonathan, then tries to punch him from above, he dodges to the side, making Jack hit the ground, the two move away, Jack sends several fireballs at Jonathan, but he sends several bursts of light at him.

Jack's thoughts: I would destroy that structure, especially that hexagon, but what if... That's what he wants me to do? He didn't make a point of hiding that structure, that is, it's not something that involves it activating, but what if... Is he predicting my thoughts? Not hiding the structure on purpose, other than that, there's that circle, at least, I think I should stay out of the circle

While Jack was thinking about what he should do, Jonathan managed to hit Jack in the face with one of the blasts. He soon approached and hugged Jack's waist, pushing him to the middle of the circle. When Jack saw this, he understood that he shouldn't stay in the circle. He elbowed Jonathan in the back, making him fall to the ground. However, he got up from the ground anyway, using Luxquaexcaecat, managing to direct Jack to the middle of the circle. Jack realized that he was in the circle and, as the hexagon began to glow, he raised his hand and his double blade flew from where it had fallen to his hand. When he reached it, he stabbed Jonathan in the chest. He then kneed him in the face and then grabbed him by the clothes and threw him away.

Jack: You can't keep me here {leaves the circle and walks to where Jonathan was} you're done for

Jack walks up to Jonathan and starts punching him frantically, Jonathan tries to defend himself, but has both of his arms cut off, however, he lands a critical kick in Jack's stomach due to desperation, throwing him back into the middle of the circle, right under the hexagon, it glows and starts to activate, Jack, who in turn notices this, gets up and tries to run away, Jonathan takes advantage and approaches, while his arms are still regenerating, he carries his blade in his mouth, when he gets a few steps away from Jack, he finishes regenerating his arms, he holds his blade tightly.

Jonathan: Stay still...

Jonathan fiercely advances against Jack, plunging his blade deep into his chest, with his other arm, he grabs Jack's shoulder, keeping him in place, Jack's eyes widen and he shakes with rage, he writhes, fighting tirelessly to get free, he knew that staying there would be his imminent defeat, but the blade in his chest weakens him, he spits blood.

Jack's thoughts: This is terrible! How did I let myself get into this situation? I need to get out of here before it's too late!

Jonathan's thoughts: Just a little longer and you'll pay for everything you've done!
