As the clash of swords was heard and the increase of blood on the ground was also seen with a mix of the foul smell. It was a stench that is lingering in the entire arena it was the blood and sweat. Artirian would be catching up from his breath as he gasps for air. He would still be gripping hard from his Bokken sword and his body would be all sweaty.
Luckily he remembered some pointers with Sherwood from the training back then or else he won't stand right now. Also, thanks to Sherwood he was able to find a few more enemies by himself because of the techniques Sherwood gave one of it was the ghost dash and multiple strikes. He looked at Clara at the near distance. Artirian would look at Clara and lock his eyes on her, Clara was fighting one of Artirian teammates as she fends off the enemy attacks with her proficient skill and prowess using the weapon she called Wings.
Clara's weapon is a silver sword with a wing to its cross guard that is the same length as a rapier. Then Clara would feel that she was being watched and she would see Artirian looking at her as she can see that Artirian eyes that are locked onto her. She then smiled, then gave a hard blow on the enemy's left rib knocking the enemy a few meters then kicking the enemy on the chest making the enemy hit the wall.
The enemy body would fall unconscious on the ground after hitting the wall. Soon followed by the medical staff so that the life of that person can still be saved.
After that fight, Artirian would look at Clara and give her a nice wave. But only one team can remain on the battlefield. That's what Artirian is thinking while looking at Clara. Artirian would think a bit more before dashing in forward; as his aim was to make Clara make the same move as he did. So that Clara may fall into Artirian trap which is making Clara move into close combat that he would be able to outmaneuver her and defeat her in a most cleanest way as possible. But the plan goes wrong, as he dashes forward he would meet 3 incoming speed attackers that are going to intercept his attacks to Clara.
The 3-speed attackers would raise their swords at Artirian. Then they would also imbue their gallant force onto the weapon so that they could have some upper hand on the battle. As their weapon being engulfed by the gallant force, its color would be pure yellow with a mist. The 3-speed attackers were at the rank of Yellow core as said by their imbued force on their weapon. Artirian would grip his Bokken sword firmly as he was attacked by one of them as he jolted back to keep a distance. Then as soon as Artirian distance back he would clash his sword with one (cling clang clang clang) of them while the 2 others would also wait for a time to attack.
When Artirian is blocking the 1st enemy he is dodging from the 2nd attacker which is thrusting forward so he would avoid being pinned down. Then also keeping his eyes open for the 3rd one who is waiting for an opportunity to attack while he is focused on the two enemies in front of him. Then as Artirian would deflect the 1st sword of the 1st attacker, he would hit the 2nd attacker sword that is enough to make it fly into the air.
Then as the enemy's sword is up in the air he would kick the 2nd attacker to the chest. The 2nd attacker would get off-balanced and drop on the ground laying. Then gently getting up holding his chest from the pain from the kick he received. Then the 2nd attacker slowly gets up on the ground but still feels the pain. While the 1st attacker would aim a slash on Artirian left hand but Artirian would be able to dodge it by bowing at the attacker strike while countering it with a slash at the arm and kicking the attacker on the side of the rib. Making the 1st attacker move a few meters backward before dropping on the ground.
The sword on the air earlier would almost hit the 1st attacker on the head, then the 1st attacker's eyes would widen as he would be so frightened of how it almost hit him directly on the head if he didn't move. Hopefully, the 1st attacker was able to move a little bit backward missing his head.
Artirian would smirk making the 3rd attacker get tilted and said "YOU LITTLE SON OF A PIG THIS WILL BE YOUR LAST BATTLE, YOU TWERP!" As the 3rd Attacker charges in, not preparing himself for what he is going to face and with only just pure anger.
Artirian seeing the man charging in front of him he would then jump backward creating space between him and the closing distance of the 3rd attacker after backing a few paces he would then take action in using the technique that Sherwood uses the multiple strikes combo, Aritirian would prepare his Bokken raising it and then dashing in and intercepting the 3rd attacker once they clashed the force of both would create waves of winds that the other would stop fighting because of them.
Clara would rather continue to attack her enemies which is Artirian teammates as she already knows that Artirian would win in that duel. But she was wrong Artirian would get pinned continuously by the 3rd Attackers left and right sword swings would have a direct hit on Artirian body, giving shallow wounds and Artirian would slowly being pushed back.
Artirian would then focus himself but for some reason, he wasn't able to do so. Then in one powerful swing from the 3rd attacker, Artirian blocked would not work and rather injured Artirian making a deep cut wound across his chest.
Artirian would look helpless, as bloodstains would be all over his body and also some of the blood that's coming out from his wound. His face would be covered with dirt. Artirian would also spit blood to the ground as he would the pain and the continuous fatigue on his muscles. Artirian then makes his sword be a walking cane because he can no longer stand up straight. He thought he would be able to defeat the 3rd attacker but as he continued the fight it would be the end of him. Artirian would slowly fall on the ground collapsing the medical staff would quickly run towards Artirian and put him on the stretcher.
He would be gasping for air as the other attendees would see. When Artirian was on the ground they were looking at him with eyes of worriedness some would stop their fight just to see that Artirian is safe getting out of the arena and then continuing it when the medical staff would take to the body of the unconscious Artirian and then quickly move him to the infirmary. So that he can have the first aid he needed before being transported to the city hospital.
Clara would feel a sudden beat of his heart when she saw Artirian slowly dropping on the ground. The attacker who is fighting Artirian would slowly rejoice that he beat the infamous twerp. The Attacker would laugh as Artirian was carefully being taken out of the arena. Soon after the attacker finished laughing he was knocked out by a hard punch by Calabarzon. His body would be sent out flying then hitting the wall. The guy's body would vomit blood and also collapsed on the ground.
