The crowd, which silently watched everything unfold, soon went crazy again and was in disbelief with Arthur. He just got out of a Life or Death fight, but he was already getting into another one again.
"This kid must either be very stupid or he never stepped here! Hedgehead I can understand a little, but fighting Snake is a complete suicide."
"I've heard a lot of rumors about Hedgehead, but none of them compare to Snake's rumors. Despite being a duo and in the same category, the discrepancy in strength is huge!"
"Newbie, even if the money I made with you was good, the same miracle doesn't happen twice."
Countless people in the audience began to feel sorry for Arthur, as well as betting on Snake for the win. Betting rates soon went up to 10: 1.1 for Arthur. Even if he had won the previous fight, this one would really be a suicide, so there was nothing that the public could do for him.
***
On the stage, Snake took off his coat and soon revealed his body. He was thin, but his body was only made up of well-defined, hidden muscles. Countless knives were also hidden in many scabbards on the boots, waist and torso.
"I really admire your courage, boy. But I'm sorry to say that today will be the day of your death! You killed my brother and humiliated him in front of me !!!" His intention to kill was beginning to infect the environment, his eyes fixed and glazed on Arthur.
"I have nothing to do with you. I didn't call your brother to fight, let alone challenge him in a Life or Death fight, so stop chattering." Arthur was a little irritated by Snake's hoarse tone of voice, so he wanted to get into the fight soon.
"Shut up, you son of a bitch! You're going to die today, regardless of what happened !!" Snake's hatred was so great that it was already beginning to mix with the intention to kill and left the climate cold and gloomy.
Seeing that words didn't work, Arthur shrugged and waited for the bell to ring again to start the fight.
5 seconds.
4 seconds.
3 seconds.
1 second.
'Riing !!'
As soon as the bell indicated the start of the match, the first to move was Snake and he was soon out of sight of Arthur.
'It disappeared? I thought I got used to the speed of the people here. ' Going on guard, doubts began to pop into his mind.
Just as he thought Snake had been gone a long time, Arthur soon felt something coming up his back, towards his neck. With no time to do anything, Arthur threw himself forward and turned his body to protect himself with his arms.
The moment he did this, he saw two spurts of blood coming out of his arm, just as two deep knife cuts were marked on his skin. In front of him, with two bloody knives, Snake was showing a sinister and sick smile.
After falling on stage and settling down, Arthur looked up, but again he saw nothing. Thinking that the same thing would happen, he soon turned and tried to kick back, but there was nothing there.
"Here, newbie!"
Arthur then heard a slight whisper in his left ear and when he saw it out of the corner of his eye, Snake was already in the movement of driving the knives into his ribs.
Panicking for a moment, Arthur then used the Force and, with sudden movements, moved away, but his ribs were still slightly torn.
As before, when settling and looking up, Snake was already gone.
But unlike the other times, Arthur no longer asked himself what could be happening, as this would only delay his senses. As the vision was also useless, Arthur focused on hearing and touch, to hear and feel the changes in the place.
As soon as he changed his mode of operation, Arthur began to hear certain tap-dancing noises on the stage, but they were as quiet as the wind. Following the movements with his mind, Arthur remained still while he waited for Snake to arrive and approach from the right.
As previously felt, Snake appeared on the right this time. Knowing it was going to be there, Arthur soon went on guard and tried to defend himself against any attack that came.
Sensing the changes in Arthur's behavior, Snake realized what he was trying to do and laughed a little: 'Do you really think I'm a one-trick magician? Ignorant!'
Just as Arthur thought the attack coming from the right would be like the others, he saw Snake pulling a small dagger from his torso sheath and throwing it. The little dagger was coming towards the center of his chest.
Realizing that he would not be able to dodge the next blow if he avoided the knife entirely, Arthur decided that he would stay firm. As soon as the little dagger was about to hit him, Snake also made his move, aiming a knife at his abdomen and another at his neck, like a bull.
When the movements were about to hit, as well as the little dagger, something impressive happened and completely shocked Snake.
The moment the little dagger was going to hit Arthur, she magically disappeared when she touched his hand. Snake's movement was dodged by Arthur in an impressive way, and his fist soon emerged towards Snake's face.
Shocked by all of this, Snake's movements stopped completely and he moved back. 'This kid is really good!' A smile slowly appeared on the corner of his lips.
As soon as he stepped away, Snake stopped and said to Arthur: "You really have a monstrous fighting instinct, boy! If I let you grow up, you would certainly be a great mercenary one day. It's a shame that you're going to die now!"
But before Snake himself could move, he saw Arthur move before him. What shocked him immensely was that Arthur's steps and his style of movement were the same as his, but a little rustic, as if he had just learned.
Completely shocked by what was happening, a single thought popped into Snake's mind: 'This boy is not a monster. He's a complete freak! '
