Chapter 29 – The Old and the New

James decided not to go for the sword swing as there was a chance he might miss and be made vulnerable, and there was the possibility that his opponent might break his eidolon altogether which was the last thing he wanted. He wouldn’t die from the shock, but he would continue to get weaker with every eidolon that was smashed and recreated, and this wasn’t a battle of strength. The stranger already won that. No, it would be about strategy.

James kicked toward the stranger’s chest but it didn’t connect. The stranger took a step back and then reached out to grab James’ ankle.

One hand occupied, James thought to himself as he saw Arimus and Midori rush in from behind. The stranger craned his neck to look behind him and then he raised his free forearm to block Arimus’ swing of his windmill-shaped eidolon. The eidolon lodged into his arm but it didn’t cut. Arimus put his body weight into it as Midori slashed at their opponent’s mid-section. It wasn’t doing anything.

“Hmmm,” their opponent mused as James put the hilts of his two eidolons together and cocked his arm back wide, as if he was getting ready to chop down a tree. He swung it right at their enemy’s neck, and strange enough, their enemy didn’t even try to dodge it. He took the full brunt of the attack head on. James’ eyes widened as the blades attempted to cut through his enemy’s throat, but to no avail.

“Is that everyone?” the Ancient Knight asked as Catherine stabbed him in the rib. Ronan brought his axe down onto the crown of his head, and Pascal tried to jab his daggers into the stranger’s eyes but they simply slid off as if they were made of glass. The stranger put James’ foot down gently as they all watched him in horror, wondering how such a man could exist.

They had all attacked him, and it hadn’t done a thing. He just stood there still, as if they were little children trying to overpower the physical might of their parents.

“It’s not that I’m so powerful that you have no hope,” he replied. Pascal tried to stab him in the cheek as he spoke but it bounced right off. “It’s that I’ve learned how to best divert my energy.” His eyes fell on James. “You transform your entire body, but why? Why not just let the bulk of the energy go where your enemy is going to strike next? I know you had to have thought about this before. But you don’t train for it. You don’t consider alternatives to what you are used to because it’s uncomfortable. This is your greatest weakness: your closed minds.”

“This isn’t over yet,” Ronan said, and the stranger turned his attention to him. Pascal tried to stab the stranger in the chin and the tip of his dagger snapped clean off.

“Being stubborn gets you nowhere. False bravado is meaningless. Acknowledge your weaknesses so that you may strengthen them.
