Carrance is coughing out some blood as Jefferson slowly walks towards him. His eyes are shaking violently, Jefferson looks completely different. "Don't tell me, did you trans-" Before Carrance could finish, he feels a strong right hook come into collision with his jaw. This sends him through multiple trees. This doesn't make sense to Carrance, there is no records of a Jaganase looking like this. His Jagan energy is rising as his hate for Jefferson is increasing. Carrance rushes towards Jefferson with hatred visible in his eyes. He throws a right jab, into a kick in the stomach. Jefferson dodges the jab and catches the kick with one hand. He drags Carrance closer to him and grabs his face. He slamed him into the ground and then threw him back in to a tree. Carrance notices that without a blade he stands no chance. He whistles to inform a clan member loyal that is loyal to him to fetch him a spare blade. In an instant, Carrance sees a blade right next to him. Jefferson is getting annoyed, he doesn't understand how he got so many people to be loyal to him in this clan. Carrance picks up the blade and gets into a fighting stance. Jefferson noticed that when Carrance got into that stance, he also put a gas mask on to his face. Jefferson starts to notice that the poison has changed in the forest. He uses his Jagan energy to purify the poison around him instinctively. Carrance slashes at Jefferson. This catches Jefferson slightly off guard and this causes him to get an injury on his arm. Jefferson isn't concerned about this though, he is looking at Carrance's form. He felt a strange sensation while looking at it. Carrance goes for a diagonal slash but Jefferson dodges it. He pick up a branch that fell on the ground as a result of their exchange. Jefferson see's Carrance rush towards him again and this time he perfectly uses Carrance's technique against him. This left Carrance bewildered, he doesn't understand how Jefferson just used his technique. His hatred is only growing as the battle continues. Jefferson notices how Carrance's Jagan energy is rising as the fight continues. He knows that if he doesn't finish this soon, he would be in a lot of trouble. Jefferson rushes towards Carrance and delivers a spin kick into his stomach. He follows this attack by slashing at him with the branch he picked up. The power put behind the attack causes a huge cut to appear on Carrance's arm. Carrance rushes back in, his gas mask about to fall off. He slashes multiple times at Jefferson in rapid succession. Jefferson parries all of these with the branch, as a result the branch is now unusable to him. Jefferson decides to be a little creative. He saw how Carrance is infusing Jagan energy into his blade to make it more deadly, but it also increases it's durability. Wouldn't that allow him to reform a broken object with his energy if the pieces are still present? He has this thought while dodging Carrance's attacks. He goes towards the sword he broke a couple moments ago. He picks it up and through concentration he is able to reform the blade, albeit it is only temporary because once he stops using jagan energy the blade would crumble again. Carrance is becoming more enraged as time passes by. How can Jefferson use Jagan energy so effortlessly, why is his transformation different from all the records, it makes no sense to him. Carrance's Jagan energy is rising to a point where it is engulfing the entire forest.
*With Rudius* Rudius is travelling back to the clan's residence to grab something. He wanted to grab a book that he had written all of his achievements and hypothesis of the improved Annacius fist that Bob made. While he is on his way he notices a large amount of Jagan energy coming from the forest. He wants to check it out but he thinks he might die if he goes. So he decides to go and get his notes. That was the plan until a certain someone interrupted his plan. "You should go watch, might make you understand yourself more" The voice is none other than Bob. "Why should I, seems like a death wish" Rudius replies fully against the idea. "Um, how about this then, I won't ask for any souls this month so you don't have to worry about that, all you have to do is go check out that location" Bob makes this offer to Rudius. Rudius is shocked that Bob even thought to make a deal like this with him. This just tells him how important this must be. "Fine, just don't bother me again for a while" Rudius says this while walking to the direction of the forest.
