Iron Circle Breached! [Frontier]

[Ancestor Febrie]

Since the temple girl accepted they bolted to the nearby forest. Zuruel looked like he didn't like to be left there alone but he agreed to her terms and goaded the girl to come with her. He did look in pain, perhaps something broken? Still he carried himself interestingly in the next few minutes. The soldiers arrived looking around they spotted Zuruel who was shouting just a moment ago "H-Help! The Duchess! She will slaughter us all!" and who was pretending to be unconscious with a detached leg. She wondered what was Zuruel's game, how can he fight without a leg like that. The soldiers were now being ordered to stand close to each other, shields were raised, two in front and the captain stood in the back but with his back towards his comrades to see in all angles.

Their katanas were also drawn, prepared to get attacked at any time it seemed. Of course they didn't know where she and Celest were, but now if she attacked they would be semi prepared, she decided to let it go and leave it to Zuruel for now. "Tell me, are your wounds better now?" she directed this question towards the girl. The healing hands should have at least stabilized her to the point of self healing being sufficient, at least she won't die now from them, there was always a possibility of getting attacked by those soldiers though. What will Zuruel do now?

"The Duchess... She attacked us..." Grimaced Zuruel as he weakly extended his hand outward along the cold ground. Three enemies now stood in front of him, one of which with his back turned. It was just unfortunate that there were two other soldiers defending that back. With his extended hand, the teen would plant the entire limb into the ground before using it to pull himself forwards slightly in a rather pitiful manner. "Help... me..." He said rather pathetically, the act of which causing two of the so called iron-willed soldiers to bat an eye out of pity.

The commander however seemed less convinced and ordered his men to stay put. 'Well, three is the magic number.' Thought Zuruel to himself as he brought his arm closer towards the other in order to weave some hand seals. "I see her, the Duchess! Towards your left captain!" Shouted Zuruel, the act of which causing the two soldiers heads to turn for a moment. Although the captain immediately saw through the lie, by the time he had managed to turn around, it was already too late.

"Katon - Hidora no Jutsu!" Grinned Zuruel before cupping a hand over his mouth and breathing inwards. As he did so the two enemy soldiers would raise their shields as the captain dropped to his knees in order to hide behind the protective meat shields. At that point Zuruel would of already began exhaling a tempest of fire which would suddenly shoot upwards into the air in the form of a dragon, before splitting and spiraling downwards in the form of three fiery serpents, one for each soldier.

This gave the soldiers just enough time to raise their shields in a protective stance, however foolishly, they had decided to block the technique rather than run. As the draconic infernos descended, they would explode in three pillars of fiery explosions, completely incinerating the three men as the fire ate away at their Armour and shields. "Apologies gentlemen. You may have faced a much quicker death by my blade if only you had come a little closer." Chuckled Zuruel as his 'decapitated' foot began to reform and his 'Armour' melted away into more casual clothing. "Does this suffice as evidence of my loyalty Duchess?"

Katon Hidora no Jutsu (Fire - Hydra Technique)
Rank: "B" Rank
Skill: NinJutsu
Effect: A technique in which the user takes the concept of Ryuuka but is capable of using it more of a destructive manner and more of a diverse manner. Instead of one large dragon like form being shot forth towards the opponent, the user is capable of increasing the amount of them into an amount of three draconic creations with similar devastation.
Special: "Handseals"
Drawback: They are only capable of going in a straight line. Projectory may not change directions.
Description: A Large creation is created as the user performs the necessary handseals for the technique. As the user does, so they raise their hand up over their mouth. By taking in a deep, breathe the user fills their lungs with chakra to in, which ignites the moment they blow the air out. As the user blows out the creation of fire is made taking the form of a giant dragon like creature. The Dragon is quickly hurled towards the opponent as the dragon swivels and swerves moving like that of a Chinese Dragon. Then without notice or movement the large dragon splits into three smaller sized forms of dragons as they twist and turn around one another heading towards the intended target. This technique is used to where the user is capable of controlling each dragon to hit at different times. This means that each draconic form of fire may be one after the other before hitting the initial target. The user is capable of pushing so much power into the technique to where when it touches the target it is needed it is ignited in a mass blaze of glory, creating a grand explosion for each form.
Limit: Must have the Fire Release, must know Katon - Ryuuka no Jutsu (Dragon Fire Technique)

Flesh Fabric
Rank: C-ranked
Skill: Taijutsu
Effect: The user can create clothing from their own body.
Special: ---
Drawback: Clothing created from this technique cannot grant additional properties (skin looks like armor, it is not armor). Flesh Fabric turns to dust after a set amount of time.
Description: With great control over the user's skin cells, the user can command their flesh to appear like cloth and fabric. The user commands the body to produce a layer a skin that is sloughed off from the body. This layer of skin is shaped and altered to the users desires before being removed from the body. The skin cells can mimic the texture, color, and patterns of any fabric, cloth, or armor the user has encountered before. This grants the user access of clothing made from their own body, made to look like anything they want. Unlike clothing created from a transformation technique, this fabric does not disappear when the user is harmed. It takes 1 post for the user to create a single set of clothing from their skin. This clothing lasts 4 hours, before turning to dust. For every rank the user is above "D-Class", they may extend this duration for 2 additional hour per rank.
Limit: Kedōin Blood Line. Must know "Warped Visage: Growth of Skin"

Autolytic Control
Rank: C-ranked
Skill: Taijutsu
Effect: The user can remove and re-grow limbs and body parts.
Special: ---
Drawback: Deleting a body part does not denote regeneration. If a limb has been lost before hand, the user cannot re-grow it. The head and internal organs cannot be target with this technique.
Description: Tapping into the user's cellular control, the user can "delete" a specific body part temporarily. The user can command the tissue of the body to break down into their most basic cellular makeup. These cells join the central mass of the body, to be returned when the user desires. Such an ability grants the user the ability to remove appendages on the body. A user can appear as an amputee one moment, with arms and legs missing, then suddenly grow hands and feet back as if a miracle the next. Paired with "Warped Visage: Growth of Skin" the user can even mimic serious battle deformities, or even appear terribly injured to seem less threatening or fool another to aiding them. The user may delete body parts within 1 post (6 seconds), and grow them back to full functionality within 1/2 post (3 seconds).
Limit: Kedōin Blood Line. Must know "Shift of Organs" (Internal).

Celes was getting to safety, along with the duchess of this little town, well it was bigger then she thought at first. She looked at Zuruel and wondered how he was going to handle himself. he was in quite the predictament, and he was outnumbered pretty hardly, and he was wounded. Though he was quite smart, he was acting like the duchess had attacked him, and his friends and that he was going to need help, as she was still around.

The moment they were distracted, he attacked and killed them, or atleast took them out. with loads of fire. Celes didn't like fire as it was something that had brought bad omens in her life. though she was glad that she wasn't close to the fire.

When the duchess asked her if she was better, she nodded '' im not feeling totally great, lost a lot of blood and the arrow is still stuck in my arm, but I am stable and much better'' she answered. she wasn't in her best state but atleast was surviving, she was glad that even though she crashed here, and was seen as an attacker she turned things around, and wasn't seen as hostile anymore.

[Ancestor Febrie]

The Duchess watched as the action unfolded, the stupid Take soldiers bought the play and were even surprised by another fire technique, she had to note that Zuruel has only used fire techniques and some really weird body control stuff she's never seen before, there has to be something with him and his body and one of these days she will get to know it. Celest answered her earlier question "im not feeling totally great, lost a lot of blood and the arrow is still stuck in my arm, but I am stable and much better". The arrow could wait a little longer, it wasn't fatal by the looks of it. "When this is done you can go to the hospital". After the attack and a few charred bodies, their chakra signature slowly disappearing Zuruel literally grew his limb back in place, "Does this suffice as evidence of my loyalty Duchess?".

To answer his question she still didn't know and couldn't fully decide, more proof will be needed however that's for another day, the catapults were still firing on their wall, that needs removing first. "It will suffice for now." she answered while walking towards her kunai still stuck to the half-house to collect it. She touched him, giving him the healing technique which was held up for him, "This should make it better." she informed him with a cold stare at the dead bodies. "Alright, I think we're done here. I'll go check out the other locations while you guys are free to inform the receptionist of a completed mission at the Fort and then head to the hospital." the arrow should be removed there, she had more pressing concern.

{Exit}

[Skulking Shinzu]

"Why thank you." Grinned Zuruel as the Duchess acknowledged the mission as complete. Looking back at the bodies, the teen simply watched cruelly as their form dissolved away into bone and ash. "I suppose since the peons won't count for much, my kill count is only at two." As he walked off, Zuruel noticed Celes, who he would immediately walk closer towards in order to give her a hand. "Shall we go together? I see you may need a trip to the hospital on the way." Whether or not she accepted the help, the teen would then make his way towards someone who he could claim his reward.

[Exit]

Celes was glad this was all over, even though the duchess didn't totally trust zuruel yet, the trust was a little more, while she had to leave, she was adviced to go to the hospital, she nodded and thanked the duchess for her help who then quickly dissappeared, accepting zuruels help to get to the hospital, Celes was very silent she was tired and was in need of medical atention, that she hoped to finally get in the hospital. glad that her help could be given she thanked Zuruel aswell.
