Chapter 26 - The cut that turned the tide!

Guerra was able to make a small cut on Ojog's hand using Ushinawareta kōtei. Ushinawareta kōtei's abilities take effect on Ojog, rolling a random stat decrease on him.

"PERCEPTION 36%"

Ojog gives a shocked expression as Guerra was able to land a cut on him.

"What the.... How were you able to bypass Endlessity?...."

It clicks to Ojog.

"Heightened spiritual pressure! That's how you were able to bypass it. impressive, you're the only one to make it through the power of Endlessity-"

Ojog's ability to perceive other's reiatsu has been lowered greatly.

"What is.... Happening. My senses have become faint, I could barely sense your reiatsu. Is this the work of your power?"

Seeing a weakened Ojog, Guerra uses sonido around Ojog to see if Ojog could keep up.

"I wonder if he could still keep up..."

It turned out that Ojog's sense were so hindered that his reactions were delayed, Guerra saw this and wanted to exploit this weakness.

"My theory proved to be correct! He is not able to sense me in time. But.... I don't think I will be able to hit him again due to his Endlessity, but I gotta try that move again, it risks him sensing and killing me but... I've got no other choices."

Ojog senses a faint amount of Guerra's spiritual pressure, he lunged to where he thought Guerra was, only for his spiritual pressure to dissappear right in front of him.

Ojog began to frantically look around for Guerra but he couldn't find him.

Ojog uttered in frustration.

"What an annoying power. Know that you made me resort to this....

Cero, Azul!"

Ojog moved his hands, suddenly, a blue orb made of spiritual energy connected by a small blue beam that's on Ojog's right hand. He began to swing around the blue orb into numerous directions, hoping to hit Guerra with it. The blue orb was gathering sand around and small quartz trees, like it was a magnet.

While running away from blue orb, Guerra almost got sucked in but he was able to escape through sonido.

Ojog continued to swing the blue orb around the area with his right hand until he threw it away in the dark sky of Hueco Mundo.

As Ojog was distracted, Guerra went in and threw Ushinawareta kōtei (while chained to his right arm) at Ojog with every ounce if strength he had. He came close to hittinf Ojog in the nape, but it wasn't enough and Ushinawareta kōtei was 1 cm away. Guerra widened his eyes and reacted with absolute disappointment with himself.

"CRAP! My spiritual pressure wasn't enough to touch him!"

Sensing that Guerra was nearby and failed to hit him, Ojog smiles menacingly, turns then grabs Guerra's right leg. Ojog then uppercuts Guerra on the jaw, his grip on his leg prevented him from flying up further and then slams him head first to the ground, sand bursted from the impact and more blood spilled to the ground.

Guerra was able to escape by kicking Ojog's hand that's gripping on his leg, breaking Ojog's index finger. Now that he was able to escape, he immediately furthered himself from Ojog and began to use HSR to slowly heal his wounds (except for the vital organs.). Guerra was able to close the wounds on his head and the hole on his stomach. But before Guerra could heal back his arm, Ojog immediately closed the distance between him and Guerra then chopped Guerra's right shoulder, breaking it and sending him tumbling and lay down at the ground, not far away from Ojog.

The broken shoulder leaves Guerra groaning in pain, not only that, he could no longer user Ushinawareta kōtei effectively. Guerra grabs Ushinawareta kōtei with his left hand, slowly stood up and uses his sonido and disappeared.

Ojog went to the location where Guerra collapsed to, he realized that Guerra was nowhere near. He plucks his with frustration then fiddles his broken index finger.

"That was my favorite finger you know? And also.... Where'd you go? Don't tell me you're fleeing from the fight?"

Guerra was resting at a nearby dune and was slowly healing his wounds and his right shoulder. He looked at Ushinawareta kōtei and gripped tightly on the handle.

"I can't beat him, it's just impossible! Please.... Give me a chance, Ushinawareta kōtei!"

We come back to the empty black void, a giant flat rock on the surface with a sharp bottom, Guerra is back inside his inner world. Ushinawareta kōtei sits before him in a throne, comfortable but emotionless.

Guerra, kneels, bows his head and speaks out loudly, begging for help.

"Please! You must assist me in this fight, I can't lose everything now, not when I have finally built-"

Ushinawareta kōtei interrupts.

"It's alright.... You are my master, not the other way around, don't bow down for me. Our opponent is tough, you should be better at wielding me as I am your weapon and you as my master, and I expected more. But.... I will give you a chance. (extends out hand and opens palm*) Here, take this power that I've kept from you, I kept it because I thought that you weren't ready, and you are somewhat ready for this hidden power."

From Ushinawareta Kōtei's open palm, a bright light flash on it.
