Despite the Shadow marks influence he still wasn't fighting how he would need to, for even a hope at surviving this.. His body had taken to the air at rapid speeds and though the rough bark of the trees was less than inviting he was still able to move as if nothing had happened. the worst having been that horrible kick to the face.. Though just as he could reflect on that and spit some blood up he was being hit again, this time straight up.. "****..." he growled.. as he lingered in the sky, he could hear Kota coming closer and turned flinging his body just in time to flip backwards and crash his own kick into the back of Kota's head sending him flying back down towards the earth.. Kayis took the moment to get himself sorted just a tad bit more before taking in a large breath of air and closing his eyes. His aura disappeared for a moment.. "Unending Roar of the White pHoenix!!" As he called it out over the lands a brilliant blazing White inferno gust  came over and complete devoured the trees that surrounded Kota.. The fire streamed infinitely through Kayis lips and funneled down over the lands...

Finally it ended and the smog and smog from the ashen trees was all that was left to be found in the air.. harsh breath passed the mans lips as he stood in the sky looking down at the damage and searching for Kota.. It was a lot more powerful than any other time he had performed the move.. and the added stress of his Shadow Mark activating only made it that much worse on his internal organs. " Is it done?" He questioned.. but was answered just as quickly as it had been asked.. The smog had masked it and he had hardly noticed... but the slight buzzing sound of the Sand was apparent for one that had used it for so many years and he was only just able to dodge the move as the thinnest of lines of razor sharp sand shot out like a pin cushion attempting to impale him while remaining hidden in the smoke.. "Damnit.." he cursed as he felt one of the stinging threads line right through his shoulder on the left collar bone side.

The smoke cleared however, and Kayis suddenly wished it hadn't.. A wave, a tsunami that was ten times larger than anything he had ever crafted had already formed in the thick form of the smoke and was wading like a giant to cast him in the shadow of its wake.. He had to think fast, and though he had hoped he wouldn't be forced to do this.. he knew there was no way around it.. "Scathe the Sky, and become a Castle of Kings Kolagara!" He growled it out and just as he had the Weapon took its released form.. He still held the normal sword just a tad longer and a bit more decorative.. However dancing around him now were twelve forms that were just the same only lacking of detail and pure white of color..

The Sand came in that moment as the wave began to collapse over top of him.. and he could see Kota on top of the Giant.. riding it like some god of a technique Kayis had invented before the boy was even born.. He was so distracted though that he never noticed what came next until it was far too late.. The Shade that came from the Sand wave now had become lively.. forms of tendrils forming out of it grasped the swords that surrounded Kayis, leaving his ultimate Defense useless as the wave tumbled over top of him... However Just as it had, just before Kayis was completely buried he could see the gleam in Kota's eye as he took up a new form with his free left hand... Kayis knew what he was about to do...
