The Aura Master rested his blade on his shoulder and smiled. The land around him began to melt. The ground itself began to liquify and the air began to combust. Oxygen would have gotten short, had a massive number of trees around the walled in area not continued to fill the room with additional oxygen. To some, this place would have appeared to be hell. An inferno within a confined area, the heat of the flames eating everything that stood in its path up. However, there was one area where no flame could reach, and that area was slowly expanding.

Dust and ash rose from under the Aura Master's aura as he increased the area covered by the emerald, flame like energy that pulsed around him. Flame and heat were repelled by the force of spirit and soul flowing from within the fencer out into the world around. The green haired man looked at the raging inferno that was his foe and smiled as he lowered his sword to his side. Zorlo slightly slashed his sword from right to left and a burst of aura erupted from around him as a horizontal blade of aura was released instinctively by the blade.

The Ember Blade moved quickly, locking with the Aura Slash, and after a moment, a burst of energy erupted, the aura scattered, but the Ember Blade extinguished, if only for a moment. The fencer's sword danced with his natural aura about it, burning brightly from the blade. For the first time, the fencer noticed at this level this power, his body instinctually released blades of aura from the blade of his swords when he swung it to reduce the extremely high pressure of the massive amount of energy being released. This battle had ceased being one of might, brawn and speed. Instead, it was a battle of endurance. Whoever gave out first lost. That was how this battle seemed.

"Sorry about that," Zorlo stated as he left his sword at his side with a smile. "It seems that with half of my energy active, the amount of power I'm releasing is so high that simply swinging my sword releases Aura Slashes. I can't control that, and I'm sorry, but with that knowledge, I know one thing." The Aura Master paused as his power flared up more furiously. "I can't lose!" the green haired man stated as he swung his sword horizontally again and released a massive wave of aura. "Aura Getsuga!"
