Henry dodged out of the way of the scalding steam, letting out a small sigh as Zak said nothing in response to his witty commentary. Serpents of fire emerged from the vapor, revealing Zak in his ever blinding glory. It was hard to tear his eyes away from, so Henry made a Silver eye on the back of his head just in case Zak was going to try to attack with those tendrils from behind. That's when he noticed the artillery. [color=steelblue]"Oh fuck me."[/color] Hundreds of lasers, all being refracted in a glorious web of holy death. Then you had to take into account the fact that Zak was literally making the floor lava, Henry basically had no choice but to run for now. His vision swerving back to Zak, he began cursing as he split into 3 different fire angels each with a different weapon in hand. There goes the running option. [color=steelblue]"You know, it's really rude to invite others to a dance for two."[/color] Henry had a cool facade plastered on his face, but he was really. He was gonna have to go at least 50 percent power if he wanted to come out of this looking clean. Henry clicked his tongue and prepared for round 2, forming a suit of armor around his usual invisible armor. Time to step it up with the Silver Eyes. It seemed instantaneous as what usually remained invisible suddenly became visible, a skull mask plastering itself over Henry's face as the air suddenly became breathable once more. This [url=http://www.zbrushcentral.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=547906]armor[/url] was special in that it's unique ability to siphon heat and convert it into magical energy. Calculations began to run through his head as he figured out the exact angles he would need to open Gates from in order to survive, sorting through his inventory and placing everything in just the right spot so it would fall into his hands at just the right time. [i][color=steelblue]'A heat seeking missile or two here, the mighty hammer of Mjolnir there, ooh that would be a nice deterrent if he fired anything too crazy. Shove a bunch of ice in one compartment so we can drain that boiling ocean and we're good to go! Oh wait, gotta make sure to use Sliske's hand for a gag at the end of this, just put that right next to the holy hand grenade.'[/color][/i] All these mass organizations and minute adjustments all happened with a fraction of a second. Henry may be a fucking idiot when it came to social interactions, but when it came to the art of war he was the greatest mind of his time. That's what happens when you dedicate 400 years solely to learning how to steal and kill. A Gate quickly opened on one side of Henry, catching most of the lasers meant for him and letting the rest calmly zip by. He then opened a new Gate above him, releasing those same lasers and letting them collide with the spears Zak had thrown from on high. He used some of the newly converted mana and strengthened both of his arms, blocking Zak with the Cheater's Blade in one hand, and calmly letting a heat seeking missile fall into his other, throwing it at the pike wielding Zak as hard as he could which was quite a bit faster than the normal speed of this missile. As in breaking the sound barrier fast. [color=steelblue]"Ya know, you're getting kind of boring now. The challenge is nice and all, but I miss that silly banter that we had going while I was chopping off your fingers."[/color] He turned to the sword wielding Zak and pushed up as hard as he could, looking to break his guard for just a second. A Gate the size of Henry's fist opened right in front of his torso and Mjolnir came flying out at Mach 1 speeds, looking to punch straight through Zak's stomach.
