This is a little delayed, a few hours, but nothing too bad. I still made. ^^ Anyway, Chapter 189 is now up for reading! I continue to get even deeper into the fight between Yuki and Vangelis. Yuki continues to struggle to understand Vangelis and Vangelis remains his usual self.

The thing that is always complicated and difficult with fights between two MP users is that it ends up coming largely down to a one shot finish. Since their bodies are normal and their constitution is as well, same with endurance and stamina. I can't do a ton of crazy things with them, just because they would end up getting killed in a single chapter. Sort of kills the action if everything is settled by the first strike. But it is the nature of the powers that they have. So a lot of the fight ends up being tricking the other and a lot of dodging or deflecting until they're overwhelmed.

What makes the fight interesting with Vangelis is that he is doing something completely unique with the powers that I've never showed off before. So like with Yuki the reader is confused and trying to understand how it works. Vangelis is sort of fighting Yuki and the reader, which makes things interesting, because I do make sure not to give away his secrets. But I do give hints and tips on solving it in the future. The next couple of chapters will start putting things together on how he works. Vangelis is a rather fun character, evil and totally bad, but fun. And as he promised, he doesn't play fair at all. He's doing things that Yuki never would have expected. Which is sort of the point, I'm still exploring aspects of the power yet to be revealed.

I do end up leaving on a pretty dramatic cliffhanger note though. It leaves the big question of how Yuki will get out of this, but that is all the fun of the fight. Yuki is at a huge disadvantage in the fight and despite coming in as the superior fighter, stronger than anyone, he is actually turned back into the underdog here. He had to work hard for his victory. So it is fun going through this. The next chapter is going to be interesting.

Enjoy!
