Chapter 11 - Fierce Duel

  Schaffe parries him off and goes in for a slash. But Jonathan jumps back from this attack avoiding it. Schaffe lunges at him with his blade but Jonathan parries him and goes for a stab he is off guard when Schaffe grabs him with his left hand on his jabot shirt and headbutts Jonathan in his nose. Jonathan stumbles back holding his nose with blood coming down with his left hand.

  "That won't be so easy like last time," said Schaffe. Jonathan would disappear as if he was not there. He looks around and waits for him to appear. Schaffe swings his sword to his back and Jonathan goes for a slash at his back and Schaffe manages to block it.

  "I see you getting better," said Jonathan.

  "My mentor I was a natural at combat even gave him a run for his money," said Schaffe. He parries Jonathan off him goes in for another slash and lands a cut on Jonathan's left shoulder.

  "No bad fool and here I thought you were just a normal human," said Jonathan.

  "That was where you made your first mistake. Because I am the Great, Schaffe Frye. The Lord of The Great Noble House of Frye" said Schaffe.

  "You have far from won this," said Jonathan.

  "Oh, so you finally going to be serious. only thing I have to say is bring it on," said Schaffe with a smug look. They lunge at each other once more. Jonathan was able to stab through Schaffe's right shoulder so he could not attack with his sword. But Jonathan gets an uppercut punch from Schaffe from his left hand. Jonathan takes his left hand and places it on Schaffe's left shoulder before he is punched and a strange red aura around his hand. Schaffe stumbles back as the blade comes out. Schaffe looks and sees that Jonathan's shoulder cut has healed.

  "So, you must have seen it then?" asked Jonathan.

  "Yeah, and I have to say that a neat trick you got there the whole stabbing me was a decoy for that," said Schaffe. "It seems it some sort of drain spell."

  "Correct, this is what I call Osmose Red it allows me to drain my foe's life force," said Jonathan.

  "Ah, a nice little trick it seems," said Schaffe switching his sword to his left hand.

  "You sure can beat me now?" Jonathan raised his blade.

  "I think I'll manage," said Schaffe. He lunges and goes for a slash to his face before Jonathan dodged him and grabbed his right shoulder with his left and starts to suck his lifeforce again. Schaffe grabs Jonathan's wrist.

  "What are you doing?" asked Jonathan surprised.

  "Just helping you out a bit. So, here you go," said Schaffe. Schaffe starts to emit a blue aura from his body and Jonathan starts to feel he is overloaded with his energy and gets ready to cut Schaffe's arm off but he dodges by letting go of his wrist.

  "Damn, it seems you found out a weakness of it," said Jonathan.

  "Of Course, overloading you would do more harm to you," said Schaffe.

  "He has cornered me," thinks Jonathan.

  "So, what next?" asked Schaffe.

  "Your defeat," said Jonathan. He lunges at Schaffe and they clash again but due to Schaffe's injury to his shoulder, he loses a grip on his sword. Jonathan goes for a stab to his forehead but Schaffe's left foot kicks his blade which knocks it out of his right hand and stabs to the wall to the right of them. Schaffe jumps up and delivers a dropkick which knocks down Jonathan to the ground. Jonathan gets up and watches Schaffe lunges at him ready to tackle him. He turns into a bat and flies up to dodge Schaffe who crashes into a wall where Jonathan was.
