"Nonetheless," he continued, releasing his spirit energy and raising a hand skyward. There was a spectacular display of golden power as the gold on the ground rose into the air, generating winds that pushed against Tymon's center of gravity. His dark cloak flapped in the wind behind him.
The gold spiraled into a condensed, bright mass of liquid gold the size of a car door that hovered over Avarice's palm. Then, part of it formed into a golden hilt that seemingly slid out of the mass of gold. Next was a four-foot-long glowing golden blade with intricate designs and Avarice's symbol on its fuller.
"I didn't get to show you this last time, my Chrysaor," Avarice said as he ran his fingers across its flat surfaces. There was still some of the condensed glowing gold hovering above him. "It may not be cindium, but even without spirit enhancement, my gold's tougher than any metal this planet can produce."
"Yet I shattered it pretty easily."
"There's a stronger version of it that I reserve for times like this. When my gold bonds with my energy, it glows," Avarice smirked as he willed the rest of the glowing golden mass to different parts of his body in what looked like living pieces of thin armor.
"This is the 'Amor of God," he boasted. "It won't break so easily."
Tymon's eyebrow twitched.
"Pretentious..." He growled, irked.
Avarice, in all his golden glory, lowered his gaze slightly down to Tymon's pendant before smiling deviously.
"Are we not gods? Unlike your God, we're real. We exist to do as we please."
Tymon exhaled slowly, ignoring his antics as he steadied his focus, ready to move for the kill.
"I'm going to enjoy ripping you apart," he said in a deadly tone.
"You'll need your 'God' to be an actual threat to me," Avarice mocked before tilting his head and tapping the flat of his blade on his shoulder. "You think that pesky Shield of yours will protect you from me. But it won't."
He pointed the tip of the blade at Tymon, and Tymon was instantly hit with pain as a piece of the blade fractured and embedded itself in his left shoulder.
"How...?" Tymon asked as he clutched his bleeding shoulder after the gold retracted and returned to the blade.
"Your Shield protects you from my gold but not my spirit energy. Long ago, I figured out how to harmonize my gold and spirit energy to a degree that surpasses even spirit enhancement."
Tymon gritted his teeth, baring his fangs as he focused as potent a spirit enhancement onto his body as he could while he simultaneously conjured 'Black Fists.'
Avarice brandished his golden blade in anticipation.
"We'll see about that," Tymon said as they dashed toward each other and clashed.28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF3S4xNvwpJ
-----
Fun fact: Avarice's 'Armor of God' and his Chrysaor that he manifests with his Imperial Command are abnormally tough due to their special nature. When he discovered the ability to boost his golden prowess by bonding it with his spirit energy instead of simply coating it, it proved to be enough to subdue the others all at once without him needing to transform. It's due to this that he has never used his hybrid form in battle even when he used to train against Verin and the others. Lucky for him since he despises his appearance in that state.
