The Over-Break System

[Alright, Tobs, two things; first off, I want you to pause all kill notifications until we finish the entire wave.] Popping his neck loudly and activating [Mana Sight], Cynrik observed the creatures breaking through the Egress Gate two at a time.

-Roger, and what is the second thing?-

[Hehe, hit us with some of that good good.] Kicking off the ground and rushing forward, Cynrik slung his longer kodachi over his right hip and his shorter over his right shoulder while he ran.

-Sigh, really, you don’t even bother telling me what you want me to play anymore. Whatever here, take this.-

From her tone of voice, it was clear to the brothers that Tobs was rolling her eyes and most likely waving them off, but in the end, she still gave Cynrik what he asked.

-Now playing ”RWBY – This Will Be The Day (feat. Rena) [Intense Symphonic Metal Cover,] By FalKKonE, on loop.-

[PERFECT CHOICE TOBSIE HAHAHA!] Cackling in a psychotic manner that breached the mind link and came out of his mouth, Cynrik felt his hood slide back, revealing his face; however, he didn’t care as soon enough, he arrived in front of the first cluster of creatures.

Extending out his left leg and leaning back, Cynrik then slid on the ground and underneath the first Chimera and gutted it from neck to nut, spilling a slick trail of red blood and intestines behind him.

Around 15-meters to his left, Brance jumped forward and smashed the beak of one Chimera, shattering it in a spew of red before rotating and backhanding it with a little too much force behind his hit since the end result was a loud cracking sound as the creature flung wildly through the air like a kite with its string cut.

With one of the 11 creatures in his care incapacitated, Brance’s eyes flickered left and right with [Mana Sight] active as he plotted his path of destruction and moved into action.

Meanwhile, while singing in the mind link, Cynrik was running wild not far away from Brance.

[Hope you’re ready for a revolution. Welcome to a world of new solutions! Welcome to a world of BLOODY FUCKING EVOLUTION!] Bringing his left knee toward his chest, Cynrik shifted his momentum and tucked in to roll, narrowly dodging multiple paws and claws slamming down where he previously finished his slide.

Finishing his roll by bouncing up, Cynrik stepped with his right leg onto one of the powerful furry calves of a Chimera and delivered a powerful kick right into the creature’s ribs, shattering several and robbing the Chimera of any air in its lungs.

SWOOSH SWOOSH SWOOSH

Cynrik’s kodachis never stopped flying as each strike met flesh, leaving a trail of gore and cries of agony in their wake. Moving like a spectre on the battlefield, he weaved in and out of the abundant amount of limbs belonging to the ten remaining Chimera, something that wouldn’t have been possible if not for the significant size difference between him and the creatures.

Brance was exploiting the size difference as well, but not as quickly as Cynrik, who was naturally thinner and faster due to his high AGI stat. Still, by pivoting and getting under the bellies of the Chimeras, Brance was able to find himself in multiple opportune positions, where he would hack and slash at the soft furry stomachs.

His actions had devastating effects, as each attack would tear them open and expose vital organs, which he then destroyed by stomping the ground and sending multiple spikes into their bodies.

Taking a deep breath, Brance covered his head with both shields and dove straight into the flank of a Chimera; the force of this was no different than watching a sports car get crushed by an 18-wheeled truck.

Without losing any forward momentum, Brance cleanly sliced through the creature, severing it in half by using the sharp edges of his shields, which had been angled in such a way that they didn’t only deliver blunt force damage.

Like his younger brother, Cynrik’s eyes were constantly on the move, bouncing from one target to the next as he observed the attack and movement patterns each Chimera exerted. Throughout the event, he noticed that although each Chimera was a clone, each one seemed to be programmed with one of 8 different AI strains.

This meant there were only eight sets of attack patterns and habits the creatures could execute. With that knowledge fresh in his mind, Cynrik could determine and predict each attack half a second before the creature could perform it, making it seem like he could see the future.

While Cynrik relied more on anticipating his opponent’s next attack, Brance was what you could call a Reactionary Fighter, meaning his opponent would first need to attack, allowing him to react to it. So even though Cynrik had already figured out the attack patterns of all the creatures, Brance hadn’t.

The difference between the two styles wasn’t necessarily that big of a deal, but it allowed Cynrik to constantly think ahead like a chess player, whereas Brance lived in the moment as he fought.

BOOOMMM!!!

The heavy sound of flesh meeting Sheild echoed for kilometers as Brance blocked an attack head-on, causing him to take a little damage, 2000 points to be exact.

However, the attack triggered his shield’s [Reflect] ability, generating a shockwave that bounced the Chimeras leg skyward, exposing its neck to Brance.

Not one to look a gift horse in the mouth, Brance sprung up and severed its head with a single heavy slash of his shield; then, while still in the air, Brance triggered the fusion mechanic on his two shields. Two twists, 3k of Triple Affinity Mana, and a loud smash later, Brance held his massive twohanded greatsword over his head.

Spinning it like a helicopter rotor, Brance landed on the ground and slashed downward, generating a massive wave of sword light, instantly killing two creatures at once.

For the next five minutes, unbridled chaos ensued as Cynrik and Brance wreaked absolute havoc, slaughtering one Chimera after another until only one remained, and this one was in bad shape.

Noticing that it was the only creature alive, Cynrik and Brance took it apart, crippling it and leaving it at death’s door.

[Five-minute break and resource stat check; how are you looking over there, Brancie?] Cynrik asked while quickly cleaning the blood off his body with a fire bath.

[92% HP, 79% MP, and 77% STAM, what about you? I saw you running around like a madman, but aside from the coating of Mana on your swords, I didn’t see you use any skills.] Brance responded and hoisted his massive sword onto his right shoulder. Tossing a glance at the Chimera to ensure it wasn’t getting up anytime soon, Brance then sat down to recover his Resource stats.

[I didn’t get hit once, so my HP is still full, but my MP took a pretty big hit with the Beyblade formation. It’s recovering, but I fell below 75%. My Stamina is also slightly lower than I expected, at 72%.] Walking away from the downed Chimera, Cynrik sat beside his brother, took a deep breath, and decided to spend the break recovering his Resource stats through meditation.

Cesar: ”.....”

Roni: ”…, Woah…that was intense.”

Cesar was utterly speechless at the insane battle he had witnessed, leaving Roni to be the one talking, but even she was at a loss for words.

Around the nation and in the Arena, viewers cheered, chanted, and generally lost their minds at the fast-paced fight, unlike the two commentators.
