The large air ships drew closer towards the naval fleets.
Neither of the two sides many any moves as they waited and watched the others.
Ruby who stood on top of her naval fleet, analysed their design. The air ships were nothing like she had ever seen in their world, leading to only one possible conclusion.
The enemy was too from another world.
"What in the world did this planet do to deserve-"
Ruby was interrupted as a bright glow flashed ahead of them.
Light began to gather in front of one of the giant air ships.
Cold sweat dripped down her face, she didn't want to take any chances.
"Activate it!" Ruby commanded.
A transparent hexagonal field was deployed around the naval fleets.
The light gathered flashed once more, before a beam was fired off towards them.
*BOOM!*
Gray and Ria's hair swayed roughly as beam flew over their heads.
Despite that, they didn't take their eyes off the enemies ahead of them.
'Save the notifications for after the fight.'
[Confirmed.]
The throat of the beast to his right expanded, something with a ball-like shape rolled up his throat before eventually coming to a stop at it's mouth.
Fiery sparks seeped out.
[Pause Step!]
Just before it could release the flames, Gray appeared before it with a kick heading upwards.
*WHAM!*
He kicked the bottom of it's chin, forcing it's mouth shut before pausing it in place.
[Pause.]
Due to the large size of it's head, he was able to pause the head alone without any complications.
Gray turned his head to his next target, his eyes glued to it it before he propelled himself in it's direction.
He had kicked off, a platform of air which he had paused, his superior agility allowed him to cut the distance between them within a split second.
With it's mouth frozen, the ball like structure in throat of the first giant lizard expanded and expanded before being too much to contain.
*Burst*
Just after Gray had reached the other.
*Swoosh*
Gray drew out a Katana from the sheathe on his hilt as he zoomed past the Lizard.
The lizard turned around to face him, it's head plopped off.
Gray landed on the floor, sliding towards the edge of the building, before Pause stepping once more.
[Pause Step]
Swing after step, he went on a rampage slaying all the Lizard's around him.
While he did so, he would occasionally check up on RIa, who was blitzing through them with her rapier.
[Spatial Manipulation: Teleport.]
The way she moved was incredible, distortions were left in the space of everywhere she striked.
She avoided staying stationary, making sure she was always on the move as she appeared left and right in their blind spots before they could react.
A teleporter, that was the best way to describe the way which she fought.
Gray was even more surprised by her use of the Rapier however, in terms of power, it was nothing much, but the attack speed was something else.
Gray finished his last one off without so much as breaking a sweat, right after doing so, a notification rang on the inside of his head.
[You have slain 7 Second Stage Mutated Lizards.]
[You have earned 70 XP!]
[XP required to level up: 1060/1000
[Congratulations, You have levelled up!]
Gray felt a surge of power flow through his body, the edges of his Gray hair swayed upwards while his eye flashed a golden glow.

Gray's heart began to pound from excitement, as he scrolled through.
'Fucking finally!' He shouted inwardly with Joy.
He glanced over to his sister to check on her.
She had just teleported above the final lizard and thrust her rapier down at it's head.
The lizard followed her scent and looked up, with it's mouth open wide and an elemental attack gathered at the edge of it's tongue.
Just as it released it, the edge of Ria's rapier made contact with it's head.
[Spatial Manipulation: Distort]
*Spurt* *Spurt*
It's was cleanly scraped off of it's neck, forcing it to collapse in the following second.
It was instant death.
She fell back onto the rooftop, a second after and turned to Gray with a smile and thumbs up.
"Your younger sister is pretty cool right?" She asked
Gray smiled and let out a sigh.
"Yeah, super co-"
His eyes widened, through the corner of his eyes he saw a light flash coming from a building in the distance.
*BANG!*
The bullet made it's way straight towards the side of Ria's head.
It was fast, but Gray was faster.
'Time st...'
But to Gray's surprise, he didn't need to react at all, as once it was inches away from her face, it sunk into a small portal like rift in the space in between Ria and the bullet.
The bullet entered, the rift and emerged right back out a different one which formed right above it.
The bullet which emerged was propelled right in the direction where it had come from.
*Clang!*
Gray turned to the source, glancing at a building in the far distance.
"Tsk, I missed." The sniper muttered as he adjusted his aim on his sniper.
The sniper's design was strange, the design was that of a dragon's, the nuzzle being it's mouth and the rest of it's scaly body moving all the way down to the sniper rifle's heel.
Long black hair, and small pointy ears, his crystal-like blue eyes, remained glued to the scope as he smiled.
"Now that I've locked my sight onto them, they're already dead..."
He pulled the repeatedly pulled the trigger.
*BANG!* *BANG!* *BANG!* *BANG!*
A multitude of shots blasted towards them. To their surprise, each individual shot came from a separate location and building than the previous one.
Four hyper-fast bullets were heading right at them.
