"Challenge Commencing,"
A voice rang out, and everything turned dark. When things become bright again,
We are in a completely different place. A massive arena. However, the one without seats. There are only blue borders and nothing else.
We are alone in here, with the massive clock over our heads, which already started counting.
He has to defeat me within an hour, or he will lose the challenge. Which has a cost too, but it won't come to that, because I am going to kill him.
"You should use everything you have, or you won't get the chance," he said with a grin.
"You too," I replied with my expressions serious.
I may be saying I want to kill him, but that is far from easy. It is extremely hard.
This man had been the strongest Sky Sovereign for years. Defeating him is hard, but killing him is even harder. Especially here.
It could even be said that he had a better chance of killing me than me killing him.
My sword appeared in my hand. The great sword; it is the first time I have used it. It turned out that; the great sword is one of the weapons, I used to most, but not my primary weapon.
I was very surprised when I read that in the information they have on me.
I shouldn't be surprised. I used the great sword, but I used the other weapons too and I have never told the organization what my primary weapon is.
I had left that part blank when I had filled out the information form.
He, too, summoned his weapon, and it wasn't a sword or saber, which he mostly used, but a red lance.
It is a red metal base, with a blood-red crystalline tip.
I hadn't heard a single bit of information about him using a lance. Spear, yes, but not the lance. Which is a different weapon and one of the hardest to master.
He has also reverted to his original skin. I didn't. Keeping it hidden will help me a lot.
He looked at my sword while I looked at his lance. Both were surprised at the choice of each other's weapons.
"All the people who saw my lances never lived beyond the battle," he said, taking a step toward me.
"I can't say the same with my sword. Other than that, my sword is going to tear you apart," I replied, to which he grinned, before disappearing.
A fraction of a second later, he was in front of me, but I was not looking at him, but at his lance.
Which is coming at me like a snake.
A fire is covering it lightly, but I could feel the power of it, and it's dangerous. I can not let it touch me. So, I moved my sword forward.
I am using my full power aside from the full burst. I would use it instantly if he activated the beast mode.
My sword clashed against his lance and a surprise couldn't help, but appear on my face. Powerful shockwave released from our class. powerful enough to raze hundreds of miles, but here it had disappeared before even reaching ten meters.
Absorbed by this place.
Though it's not what I am surprised about. I am surprised by his sphere.
It releases the vibrations, not the kinds I had faced, but the kind ones with the hint of forbidden power, that would move through the defenses.
'He hadn't even activated the beast mode yet!' I thought, and a shudder rang through me.
I wouldn't have been surprised. If it had happened after he had activated the beast mode, but he did it before that.
I expected he would have some beast god's powers, but didn't expect this.
"Beast God's power!" I said, shocked. A surprise flashed in his eyes before he grinned again. "You shouldn't have come first. If you hadn't, you would have at least gotten a chance to advance into Prime before I killed after leaving this place,"
"But now, you are going to die here," he said.
"You are talking like you already won," I said. "Oh, I did!" he replied with an utter confidence before attacking me again with his lance.
I defended against his attack, before attacking him with a black blazing fire covering my sword.
It is a fire. Quite powerful at that.
He spun his lance expertly with such grace, I wanted to keep watching before striking my sword.
Stopping it in its tracks.
Lance is one of the least-used weapons out there. It is too long, which gives such advantages, but there are just as many or more disadvantages.
Its why people use the sphere. It's the perfect weapon with the lethality of the lance and the accuracy of the saber.
However, the flaws in it didn't seem to restrict him. Instead, they seemed to aid him.
CLANNNG CLANNNG CLANNNG!
We clashed hard, attacking every moment of rest. Looking for every mistake and striking against it, but both of us are too powerful and experienced to let others exploit it.
Though, that doesn't mean, they couldn't be exploited. Googlᴇ search N0v3l.Fiɾe.net
They could be, and if they are exploited well. It would only need a single attack to finish the other party off.
I am extremely careful. Keeping eyes on him and his sphere. Also, energy, soul, and body language create a model that is letting me fight it better.
"You are good. It's a surprise to me that we hadn't fought before," he said while launching another attack at me.
"Oh, we have more than once," I replied with a smile.
A genuine surprise appeared in his eyes and I tried to exploit it, but the bastard was too fast. He had stopped my attack before it could reach him.
"We have not, or I wouldn't have let go of an enemy like you. At least not twice," he replied,
This is the third time we are fighting, and I want this to be a charm.
I didn't say anything to that. Let him believe I lied to get a strike.
Though he might have believed me, he stopped. He didn't launch an attack after defending
Instead, looked up, with over four minutes passing since the battle began.
"I don't want to use it, but I won't be able to kill you without it," he said with a sigh before
his eyes lit up cruelly
A moment later, the massive power exploded out of him, with a phantom of beast god
