The Gentleman is throwing his cane at a few feet from him, together with the heavy coat he was wearing it. After he has done that, he takes a fighting position, and he is looking menacing at Ulfred who is also getting ready to engage into a combat fight against Thomas. Ulfred, who has let his heavy gloves down, and he is going to fight into his normal state, and he is going to fight with his missing arm.
"I didn't know you are having a missing arm." he says feeling bad to Ulfred. "If you want, you can take the glove for the missing arm."
"No. I can do it." says Ulfred to the assassin refusing the offer.
"Alright. Your choice."
I sit on a log, with my wand prepared in case the assassin is going to do a wrong move on me and trying to cheat on Ulfred. He is looking concentrating and concerned at Ulfred, who is holding the missing arm on his back, while the other is making it into a fist.
Thomas takes from the pants pocket a rock, he shows it to Ulfred, and he tells him.
"I am going to throw the rock on the sky, when it hits the ground, the fight will begin. If you knock me out, you win. If I knock you out, I win. Sounds fair?"
"Deal." says Ulfred to Thomas.
"Good." he threw the rock in the air, and these two fighters are taking their positions of fighting.
I am looking at the rock who was flying three meters high, and then, he falls in a fast speed on the ground. As soon as the rock landed on the sand, in the middle of the area where these two are fighting, Thomas and Ulfred are jumping to attack each other.
Ulfred is able to throw a punch to Thomas, but he blocks it with his hands. Then Ulfred tries a kick into the stomach, it successfully hit it, and made Thomas backs an away a bit, and then Ulfred goes to the assassin, he punches his face, which made the assassin back away. He uses his hand to swipe the saliva dripping from his mouth due to the hit he just took it. He looks at his saliva, and he tells to Ulfred in admiration.
"Impressive hit."
Thomas advances to Ulfred, he launches three hits to him, which all hits Ulfred upper body, but they weren't enough to put him down. Ulfred blocks another five attacks coming from Thomas, and he manages to catch a fist with his working arm and use the broken limb to hit Thomas face, which made the hat of Thomas flies from his head. Then, Ulfred uses the other arm to do a hard punch on the upper body, and this one sends a few feet back to Thomas. Ulfred moves to Thomas to hit him a few more times, but those six hits weren't enough to put him down.
Thomas blocks a few hits from Ulfred's legs and arms, and he manages to do a quick punch to Thomas shoulder, and he does a kick, which hits his funny bone. That hit has made Ulfred tremble and backs away, falling on his knees. While he was holding the arm with his missing (that one was the one he got hit) with the normal one, he smiles at Thomas, and he tells him.
"That tickles."
"Getting hit there tickles everyone." says Thomas with a smile.
"You... You, bitch." he says, and he jumps on Thomas, launches almost nine hits to him which were enough to back him away and have a bloody nose.
Thomas and Ulfred continue to fight intensively for a few more minutes, until at one moment, Thomas, who was having all of his face bloody, groans as he backs away because of a hit he got from Ulfred. He takes a look at Ulfred who is breathing heavily, he is bending and holding his knees while he is almost about to fall on the ground. He then, says to the Gentlemen.
"You know... This is a hard fight."
"Yeah..." says the Gentlemen. "I may be losing, but you are having my deep respect for the fight you have pulled off against me.", then, Thomas falls on the ground, with his back, and he closes his eyes. "You have won, Ulfred. You have won this fight. And as the terms said! I will not interfere in your mission and not follow the maniac!"
I quickly run over to Ulfred, who would be about to fall at any moment on the ground, but when I reach him, it was already too late, the man fall on the ground. As soon as I got there, I use almost all of my mana energy to heal the poor man who fought so intense and with a missing arm.
In a few moments, after I administrate my "Heal" spell into Ulfred, I look at the assassin who took a glimpse at me, and then he asks me as he breathes heavily.
"Who are your parents, child?"
"My parents are dead. I am from a Gremory family." I say to the man.
"Gremory, you say?" says the man surprised. "The family who lives in Kingdom of Romania? Is your Big Gus father?"
"No, it is my uncle."
"My god. You are the son of Thenor and Maya?"
I looked at him in disbelief. How a man like him does know my dead parents names?
