The 8 championsstand across from each other.There's an eerie calm breath before the storm in the colosseum arena of ares, fiery red sand and dust settles in the arena.
We hear the first gong sound that allows us to choose any weapons cade remains in place while the others choose their weapons wisely from the weapon racks hung around the arena.
Zhara chose a slim wrist shield.
That wrapped around her left arm but the metal was sturdier than titanium, not much, was getting cut through it She then chose a sword in the in the shape of a lightning bolt lightning edges running all the way down to the hilt along with greek runes forming up the blade.
Haldor went up next arrogantly trying to show off in front of the ladies ditching any sort of defense, he grabs two large battle axe hammer hybrid one side has large and sharp Axe heads the other has a skull crushing hammer end all wrapped up in norse, symbols along the hilts and engraved in the metals.
Next Kairo went up next also ditching defense However he's more lean and athletic Looking so he looks like he could have a lot more maneuverability without defense unlike Haldor who is a lot bulkier. he Grabs two egyptian Khopesh blades are engraved to look like wings.
Next Caelan grabs a full circle shield And a celtic engraved claymore sword he's definitely a person who knows the balance Between defense and a powerful hits.
Next Vicrum it's picked a shield and a wide ranged Glaive type of spear good for long range and close range defense.
Next Hikaru chooses a japanese style mace known as a Kanabō able to shatter Shields and inflict much damage downside 2 handed weapon, no shield to defend If the attack misses.
next nanakamara picks her weapons which is huffing a sturdy looking Halberd a large staff like weapon with an axe head in a spearhead and a spike at the backside of the blade, it takes some skill to master such a weapon She must have a lot of balance in her movements.
Now for cade he do not choose a weapon. He stands in the exact same place The entire time he is choosing to go barehanded this only makes the audience even more confused at my presence among these clearly highly trained demi god warriors in this arena.
Some even callously Yelling out "i bet he's already given up He's not even choosing a weapon ten thousand on he's the first eliminated all the others around begin to place bets as well. He continues to stand there taking deep breaths occasionally stretching or rolling his neck showing confidence and no fear as the second gong sounds off
What that means that the preparation time is over on the third 3 The battle will begin.
Everybody returns to their spots to where they have the best advantage Haldor lines up straight across from me staring at cade as if he was a wild beast about to hunt a rabbit it's typical. He'd want to try and get the weakest out first cade remains in peaceful silence With his signature confident smile gladly accepting this challenge. The others begin lining up too picking the best strategic position as well as i'm likely their first opponents, Zhara lines up against nanakamara both of their weapons raised high and prepared to strike, Caelan moves and squares off against Kairo, leaving Hikaru and Vikrim to face off.
As the third gong sounds the trial of the pantheons begins.Haldor immediately rushes towards me seeking to end this in the first swing of one of his ax's in a momentary notice, they dodge underneath, causing him to way overshoot me, he cries out" stand still and face me you weakling i am the son of Thor I will not be denied my glorious combat. Remaining silent as I evade all of his sloppy yet powerful strikes. Filled with rage he begins to channel a lightning bolt into his 2 ax's Sending a wave both of thunder towards me dodging the beam of lightning getting up in his face now reaching back the inside of my fist begins to emanate a red glow amplifying my fist's strength I smash him in the face with a right hook
The impact is strong enough to smash out his left eye because of the indent I left in his face his teeth shattered as he drops to the ground unconscious from one hit. This leaves all the other competitors stunned that I can actually fight.
Seizing this opportunity at the momentary distraction Caelan smashes Kairo in the chest with the broad side of his sword stunning all the air out of his lungs Which stuns Kairo momentarily long enough for Caelan to finish him off by knocking him out with a shield bash over the head Warrior two has been eliminated.
I now stand across from Caelan thinking he's gonna be my next opponent just when we're about to move towards each other Vicrum and Hikaru break off their fight to come fight us instead. Vicrum taking this chance at a surprise attack uses his weapon reach advantage to prevent me from getting closer, only a couple times he manages a a couple clean hits on me with the last strike being the strongest.The spearhead going in between my ribs i get lifted into the air On the tip of the spearhead,
Gritting my teeth, i reach out my hands I grab it pulling it through more i'm considering it already went all the way through me using the thin handle to my advantage i began to pull myself closer to him in the process, shoving the spear deeper in my body It already made through my body as I get closer to him I was able to rock him with an uppercut.
The spear still launched deep within me But now Vicrum only has a shield i go in for a punch but i instead lean into a fake out going on the ground just beneath him. Delivering a strong kick to his chin which stuns him with a savage crack as the kick lands.
using his momentary diziness to my advantage getting myself back up on my feet Spinning around driving the back of my elbow into the back of his head i'm driving him forward a bit before he has any time to react, i'm charging.Full speed tackling is midsection with a gut tackle that folds him in half with the impact breaking off the metal spearhead, it's already through my back breaking it at the head I stab it through his knee he groans in agony this woman succeeds in making him angrier now, ditching his shield, he kicks me off with a lot of force his skin turning light blue.
As a second set of arms unfolds from his back now with four arms and in an enraged state he backhands me nearly halfway across the field massive destruction energy, emanating from him. He picks up various swords and weaponss from the spilled armor racks that's built weapons all over the arena he began swinging wildly at me, this battle's got a whole lot harder for me.
