THEME:
In the instant that the freezing aura made contact with his opponent, something abruptly strange happened as if the universe had suddenly been rewritten. For some reason, the Force Barrier that had been manifested at the start of the match to fend off those bothersome alien particles had just seemingly ceased to exist outright. This was no doubt the will of some higher power at work behind the scenes, likely the same forces running the tournament that had zapped him into this location in the first place.
Regardless, that annoyance could be bitched about over a cold drink once this was over. Considering he was still confined to this arena, that likely meant his adversary was still alive. Go figure. At this point what with everything else that had happened, the notion that his foe could likewise survive being turned into a frozen popsicle wouldn't really surprise the Narrian, those crimson eyes still blaring brightly with a killer mentality.
The reality of their situation was that Dias wasn't trapped in here with this creature. It was trapped in here with him. Damn good thing it was durable too, because this Final Boss was about to be turned into his personal punching bag. This onslaught was far from over so long as it insisted on clinging to whatever fleeting life still remained.
Though the radiant shield was gone, in its place now stood a rather imposing wall of ice that had formed to lockdown the mass of Dread Particles which had previously gathered around the surface area of his barrier earlier. Assuming the particles outside couldn't just magically permeate solid matter, it would likewise serve just as well at keeping them out of his personal space for the moment. Not like he would need it, though. The very instant the barrier vanished, one of the eight weapons which had taken up a defensive position swiftly moved and was already bridging the gap between his field and the surrounding wall, maintaining contact with the diamond tip managing to pierce an inch deep. By the time his opponent's frozen shell hit the floor, practically the entire interior layout of the open air chamber had been encased in the same creeping ice with there never having been any attempt to prevent its spread. Still. A highly effective trap. And every inch of it was comprised of Ether...
Whatever his opponent might have been planning, Dias wasn't kind enough to actually give them any sort of reprieve, several of his floating Greatswords lining up to form a protective wall in front of himself as his assault resumed without hesitation. Before the creature's body would even be allowed to come to a full rest upon the frozen floor, the energy residing within the ice was triggered with but a mere thought carried through the sword and into the mass of ice, starting a chain reaction centered at two opposite points. What resulted was a series of tremendous explosions within the arena as the thick layers of ice coating the ground and ceiling of the porch section began to simultaneously ignite with enough raw destructive force that one would think there was a damn earthquake. Good thing the colosseum could handle it.
The explosions weren't focused directly on top of the monster, but rather were set further out and positioned expertly so as to avoid them getting too out of control and obliterating everything in sight. Each explosion served to double the accumulating payload of lethal pressure being generated, blazing a trail leading right to Xavier so as to deliver what would be the final blow packing an obscene amount of force that would sandwich the living icecube between a collison of bombs causing it to either shatter the fiend into a zillion tiny pieces, mangle and rip apart the body into an unrecognizable frozen corpse or at the very least turn its brains into jelly and liquefy the internal organs, assuming it even had those.
The blasts would make impact in about roughly half of those 2 seconds that his foe would spend bouncing in place, interrupting any sort of scheme there might have been in the works. For whatever reason, the creature still had failed to erect any kind of defensive measure despite how wide open and vulnerable it was in the present state which would prove to be its last and final mistake...
Epitaph.

THEME:
Well...that was unexpected...
The Narrian continued to observe his opponent's movement, forced to rely upon his other senses to keep track of the creature as once again the alien matter surrounding his barrier was obscuring his unique red eyes. It was both equally as confusing and concerning that this stranger was seemingly disregarding the danger posed by the invisible aura, rushing right into it with reckless abandon.
Then again, everything about this Final Boss was an enigma. Managing to somehow survive a direct hit from his previous attack and still being able to move without issue as it was. How the cloud of alien particles filling the arena could originally be destroyed by said blast and could physically be interacted with, yet somehow apparently was not physical matter in any way, shape or form so as to be entirely immune to the freezing effects of his projected aura.
Regardless, no attempts were ever made to try and prevent the spread of the creeping ice, encasing the arena interior as it swiftly covered the walls, ceiling and floor. Virtually anything that it could latch onto. But the ice itself wasn't the true threat, merely a byproduct. Something Xavier would find out far too late...
Upon making contact with the creature's head, it would have been subjected to the crippling effects of the aforementioned aura. Assuming this thing had a brain of some sort, the physical matter within the body would suffer being flash frozen in an instant long before any ice crystals would begin to form. If the organic tissue wasn't outright killed in the process, at the very least it would be trapped in a state of suspended animation, halting any and all thought process including, one would imagine, the ability to conjure up its Dreadful Flames. Why the stranger waited so long to put up some sort of defense before the aura touched it was just...confusing to say the least, like everything else.
Perhaps it was just a simple mistake. But in a battle of this caliber, a simple mistake can prove fatal. Even had the flames managed to still manifest after the fact, it seems rather unlikely they would have been able to somehow cure the internal condition of being instantly frozen from the inside out.
In the event his adversary didn't just simply drop to the floor like a frozen popsicle at that point and could have somehow, miraculously still to pull off launching itself like Super Man at the Force Barrier, this had also been taken into account.
Using Xavier as an indicator mark for positioning, Dias' senses registered the Ether present within the thick layer of ice all along the ground in front of his enemy, stretching across the distance between them. The aura being projected from the Force Barrier was allowing for maintained physical connection by extension from himself and the rapidly spreading ice. At the precise instant the creature would have launched off the wall, the Ether turned unstable and went critical, triggering a chain reaction of massive explosions directly beneath Xavier after having fully committed its body to the act and leaving itself entirely exposed and vulnerable.
However, considering the disintegration blast had failed to kill the monster previously, the Narrian's strategy was to use the detonation as a means to kick the beast up through the open air ceiling, the explosion delivering more than enough force to interrupt Super Man mid-flight and viciously hurl him straight upward with brutal intensity. It was a good thing the arena was indestructible, unscathed by the devastating blast which no doubt would have left a rather sizable crater where the structure once stood. Whether or not it could have been capable of also killing the assumed invincible creature would have just been an added bonus.
Of course, Dias remained safe from the destruction behind his Force Barrier the entire time. As witnessed earlier in the fight, the shield worked on a very simple mechanic; whenever an outside force pushed against it, the barrier was designed to reflect any kinetic energy back which made it highly effective against heavy artillery fire or ballistic weaponry. Or someone looking to consistently heave a wrecking ball at it over and over and expecting different results.
Even if his opponent had been able to make it across the distance, the impact alone would have been reversed and all that applied strength being pressed against it would have either sent Xavier violently flying backwards in the same way the saw discs were and or the monster's own body would have been horrifically damaged if it was unable to withstand getting hit by an equal amount of force that was being exerted upon the barrier.
Granted, this was all merely academic as odds were that the stranger had likely just turned into a popsicle now laying on the floor, no longer able to continue fighting.
Meanwhile, the five Diamond Greatswords which had been sacrificed earlier had now reformed in the same manner they had been created earlier, now joining the other large, hovering weapons which had continued to remain in a defensive stance and poised to react to any threats in the event his opponent had magically shrugged off every single counter posed against it, despite how unlikely that scenario may have seemed.

This Saturday is pretty loaded, now that I'm feeling better I've got a laundry list of things needing done and errands to deal with. Monday "SHOULD" be relatively quiet, though.
THEME:
The congregation of alien particles that had been obscuring the arena were utterly decimated by the disintegrating blast, creating an opening for the man's unique eyes to finally peer through. Upon impact, Dias was able to make out the black, featureless silhouette of his opponent. Much to his surprise, the adversary not only managed to avoid being vaporized by such a powerful onslaught but even witnessed as Xavier pulled himself out of it. Talk about durable. This Final Boss was no joke, that was for damn sure.
Before the Narrian could even react, he was taken aback to see the mysterious creature actually try and make use of his own blast in an attempt to breach the force barrier's defenses. Clever. Thankfully, the sheer power magnitude of the energy mass overwhelmed the submerged Dread matter and the strange energy shot which followed suit.
At this point, Dias interrupted the stream of energy from his own blast by burning the remaining Ether, ending the attack early as the hole it made in his shield instantly closed back up to avoid having any of those weird particles managing to sneak inside. The five Greatswords shattered and turned to dust, dissipating into nothingness. That kind of attack required time to prepare and was only good for a single use each time. And now he no longer had the element of surprise on his side. Xavier had a pretty good idea of what to expect and it seemed doubtful he would fall for the same trick twice in a row.
Tch...
Did the blast even hurt him? Since Dias' Red Eyes can't make out physical features, he had been unable to discern any of the damage that his opponent had actually sustained. The mere fact alone he was able to survive a direct hit from something like that in the first place was concerning enough as is.
Perhaps power wasn't the way to go about this...
Time to switch up tactics.
At the exact moment that Xavier made his move to begin the Matrix style wall run, the golden radiance of the barrier shifted to an intense blue. With the surrounding Dread particles still being fended off by the projected force being generated, an invisible aura had manifested and was likewise being extended outward from the shield several feet beyond the buffer zone. Upon contact with physical matter, a flash freeze effect was demonstrated as anything touched became instantly frozen with ice forming. The ice possessed the same aura and was literally growing itself while spreading throughout the arena at an alarming rate.
The Dread Particles in the air were helping to speed up this process, the creeping ice managing to reach and cover every surface while the open space between the two fighters was crystallized into a literal wall that was imprisoning the particles and locking them in place and allowing no room for movement. The molecules would be paralyzed, trapped in stasis and any attempts to break free would require being able to destroy the arena itself which was acting as an anchor point. This invisible aura likewise could feed off of any source of heat, smothering it until extinguished which would prove fatal for any warm blooded creatures caught in its icy grip.
Meanwhile, Dias would remain safe, capable of burning the Ether of whatever ice tried to penetrate his field. But for Xavier, it would only take roughly a second to reach him at the current rate the ice was spreading. Assuming his body was organic, the mere touch would prove lethal, killing off the cellular tissue.
Granted, there was one exit point still open for him...trying to escape the arena by jumping up through the large opening in the middle...

I've had a lot on my plate along with recently getting sick and it only seems to be getting worse. May not be around much this weekend. Will try to get to this as soon as time allows for it.
