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 from you because I thought that you weren't ready, and you. I do still think you aren't ready but.... You're desperate."

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

Guerra opens his eyes, and slowly came out of the open. Ojog searched throughout the desert using his immense speed to quicken the process. When he was finally near Guerra to sense him, he approached him from his back and readied to deal a blow. But Guerra was able to sense him in time so he blocked the punch by blocking it with Ushinawareta Kōtei, sending him backwards, and backflipped down from the dune.

Ojog stands at the peak of the dune and spoke playfully yet has frustration in his voice.

"Running off like that while I went hunting for you in this weakened state was really tedious. You'll pay for pulling that crap."

Ojog rushes to Guerra to going in for a kick which Guerra dodged by crouching, Ojog went in and tried to knee him in the face but Guerra also dodges that also by backstepping. Once again Ojog goes in for another punch but Guerra blocks it again, Ojog predicted this so he didn't use alot of power in that punch. With that said, Ojog grabs Ushinawareta kōtei with his right hand and pushes it away, leaving Guerra to be open and goes in for a punch again, but Guerra blocks it by parrying it, but then Ojog goes for a quick jab on Guerra's face and actually connecting. Ojog kicks Gyerra by the stomach, sending him backwards and also rupturing his already damaged organs.

Ojog smirks and is amazed on how Guerra could keep up with him.

"What happened in that 1 minute of hiding? Did you take some kind of drug to give you a pwer boost of some sort?"
