Chapter 257: Shockwave and Density 2

Mayura's density continued increasing.

The pressure around her became so great that the surrounding ground began cracking beneath her feet.

Namor's aether also surged violently through his body as the shockwave generating off his body increased in intensity, his massive mace reappearing in his hands.

The ground beneath both of them completely shattered as both combatants disappeared from their spots.

BOOM!

The world exploded in a cataclysmic clash of platinum and opaque auras as both combatants clashed in the middle. A terrifying

force burst outwards sweeping everything away, and widening the crater the two were in.

Not surprisingly, the winner of this clash was Namor. Even though Mayura had tweaked her density to the highest she could enhance it, it ultimately failed to stop the sheer terrifying force from Namor's mace.

Mayura got flung away like a ragdoll, while Namor barely slid two meters back.

The merfolk prince didn't give Mayura anytime to process what just happened. He raised his mace and swung it in her direction.

A deafening shockwave rang out from his mace which had drums in place of metal, and shit towards Mayura, aiming to crush her between it's conflicting forces.

Mayura though, had learned from her mistake and didn't try to tank this attack, instead, she merely decreased her density, and allow the attack to pass through her.

Then she flipped herself on to her feet, landed on the ground, and seemingly disappeared from view.

After more than three years of getting her ability, Mayura had experimented with it quite a lot, and realized that she was slower than usual when she increased her density, and was faster than usual when she decreased it.

So what if Mayura decreased her density to the point where she was barely tangible? She would become a glass cannon.

And that was exactly what Mayura did. She became invisible for Namor's eyes to follow. In the fraction of a second, she appeared at Namor's side.

Namor sensed it and turned to attack in that direction with a vigilant expression, but a long ugly laceration appeared on his back.

The impact of Mayura's rapier against his back sent him doubling over for a second, before he instantly turned and swing his mace .

BOOM!

A thunderous boom echoed in the surrounding as concentrated shockwave tore through the place Mayura supposedly was.

However, in that same instant, another blade wound appeared, this time on Namor's uninjured arm. The merfolk prince's grin had long left his face, instead replaced by a calculating outlook.

'If it keeps going on like this, I might lose.' Namor inwardly admitted. 'I'll have to change tactics.'

An invisible pulse emanated from his body, spreading outwards. He was going to use vibrations as a medium to understand get her location.

And a split second later, "Got you!" Namor's grin returned as he turned back and punched out with his fist.

Mayura seeing that motion in a somewhat slow motion acted on instinct, reducing her density just a fraction less, causing Namor's fist to sink through her chest.

Mayura's expression faltered slightly at that, before she took a few steps back, separating Namor's fist and her intangible body, before exposing backwards.

"How did you manage that?" Her eyes narrowed as she looked at Namor who was grinning from ear to ear.

"I guess you did not listen to the explanation I gave to shadow boy earlier." He said flipping his mace with one hand.

Mayura said no more and disappeared from her spot like a ghost, with only the slightest disturbance.

To her shock however, the moment she came close to Namor, even though she was certain he couldn't see her, his eyes were following after her ever so much.

Mayura attacked from his left, but Namor was already turning there before she even committed. She switched tactics, and shifted to his back, but a concentrated shockwave burst from his back.

Mayura then went to his right, but his palm was already raised in that direction, reaching out for the hike of her rapier.

'He really can sense me.' Mayura thought with a grim frown and attacked him head on this time.

Namor didn't hesitate. His mace swung at Mayura's head with with such force that the air itself exploded. The mace passed through her as if she even there, so Namor reached out with his hand to grasp hold of her neck.

Once again, his hand passed through Mayura's neck, but what he didn't expect happened next. While his hand passed through Mayura's body, Mayura's fist connected against his lower jaw in a brutal uppercut.

Namor got flung away like a meteor, crashing through everything in his way, before finally skidding to a stop while massaging his bloody jaw.

"I wasn't planning to show this trump card, not in this match." Mayura said addressing the merfolk prince. "Be proud stinky fish, knowing you have pushed me this far."

Meanwhile, up on the floating platform, Damon turned to Calum with a shake of his head.

"These foolish elves, am I right?"

"Don't talk to me!" Calum scowled.

"Hey come on, that is no way to speak to your saviour." Damon sighed in mock disappointment. "Last I remembered, that chick down there was about to pulverize you when I stepped in to save your ass."

"No such thing happened!" Calum protested, to hide his embarrassment.

"Of course it did." Damon muttered.

Anastasia meanwhile was staring at the two completely oblivious to what they were talking about.

"Whatever, so what?! I'm willing to bet I can beat her right now." Calum finally agreed.

"Right, with your new ability, she would certainly have a tough time taking you down." Damon nodded contemplatively. "As for who would win, I have no idea about that.

During the time Calum and Mayura had clashed before, Calum was still in the Theta+ rank, while Mayura was at the Zeta- rank. However, the gap between them had closed now that Calum had gotten his Zeta ability.

Granted, Mayura was still a rank above him, but the gap had arguably shrunk.

"How did you know my about my new ability?!" Calum narrowed his eyes. He never told the imposter about it.

"Don't be an idiot." Damon waved his hand dismissively. "You just broke through to the Zeta- rank didn't you? Of course you have a new ability."

"Then how did you know that with my new ability she would have a tough time taking me out? You somehow know what my new ability is don't you?" Calum asked, still unconvinced.

'Did this idiot take my advice of 'don't be an idiot' too literally?' Damon though in genuine bafflement.

"Ahem, I will not dignify that question with an answer." Damon turned away and focused on the battle amidst Calum's curses and Anastasia's suspicious amusement.

Meanwhile,

'So it doesn't have to be her whole body huh?' Namor thought in realization. 'Let's see if an intangible body can withstand seismic wave.'

Namor chose to be on the offensive this time. His body burst forward with explosive motion, barrelling through Mayura in an instant.

The two became streaks of motion, their figures blurring across the landscape. Mayura's rapier blurred towards Namor's neck, but a quick seismic pulse threw it off course.

Namor meanwhile blasted a shockwave that blasted at Mayura's face, but she dodged it with a slight tilt of her head.

Namor wielded his mace as if it were weightless, but Mayura almost always evaded it with frightening grace, and when she couldn't, she phased through it.

Namor swung his mace, but Mayura ducked underneath it, flashing forward with a horizontal slash to his torso.

But Namor sidestepped, caught hold of her hand, then flipped over her head. Her hand slipped out of his in the next moment, as she turned and kicked towards his temples.

But a pulse bounced her leg away and disoriented her, giving Namor quite the time to catch hold of said leg and swing her at the ground.

Bang!

He slammed her face first I to the ground, then again and again, and again.

"ENOUGH! YOU STINKY LITTLE FISH!" Mayura shrieked and folded towards Namor, then headbutted him, forcing him to let go, before she flickered backwards.

Namkr immediately followed after her, and punched a straight line shockwave that tore the ground in it's wake at her.

BOOM!

Mayura few back once more, but Namor refused to hold back. The ground beneath his feet shattered as he stomped towards her.

Even while flying, Mayura managed to increase her durability as Namor appeared next to her, swinging his mace. But it wasn't nearly enough this time.

The mace smacked into her chest with a deafening shockwave, shattering her ribs. Mayura shot into the ground at breakneck speed, creating an enormous crater with her fall.

Mayura got back up wheezing and coughing out blood from the pieces of her ribs that were piercing into her lungs.

She was all bloodied and worse for wear, but her eyes still screamed defiance. However, the defiance in her eyes dimmed with the clap of two palms that appears

right before her face.

Mayura's figure flew away for the nth time, creating concentric ripples in the air out of sheer speed, before ultimately crashing into the ground.

Silence.

It reigned supreme for a few breaths before a hyped voice broke it.

"NAMOR STORMBORNE WINS!!!"
