Chapter 15 - Fighting against earth mage

"So you are here! It took you so long to appear here that I tought you was scared away just because today you won't fight against mere beastman but rather mighty earth mage!" Even before getting on stage Philip could hear shouts of his enemy. But rather than thinking about it Philip tought more about amount of death magic inside of his enemy. This amount was around one Philip gained after killing supervisor of the cave where he found weird egg. "It seems that he have some experience and I will gain bigger progress after killing him. It's really a risk worth taking." Philip got on stage with a cold smile, taunts of his enemy couldn't bother him any less. Arrogance of his enemy could only benefit Philip. "Start the battle" This time, Philip didn't move from his place. He only got ready to face his enemy creating an image of person ready only to defend himself. Seeing this, earth mage got even more eager to attack with his sword. His skin was already yellow in colour wich meant it was already strenghtened with earth magic. Philip then used his power and changed a little direction of incoming attack, then made a cut on an arm of his opponent. "His skin is tougher than i tought" Seeing how insignificant was damage he dealt to his enemy Philip decided to change tactic for this fight and would try to tire his enemy out. This time difference between him and his enemy wasn't so big and it wasn't a sneak attack like that time bwfore mine, so in first exchanges Philip looked like loosing one because of little effects of his attacks. "Give up! You see yourself that you are not my match! If you surrender I will keep your corpse intact!" Seeing sorry state Philip was in native got much more sure about his win and people watching fight, even tough there weren't many of them, cheered loudly because most of them were natives too and left ones didn't want to go against people they were living with. Their cheers were still going on but after another while of fighting expression of earth mage changed. "Oh no! Why does my enemy attack faster and faster? No! It's me who's getting slower! If this goes on I won't be certain winner I need to end it before I still have adventage!" Seeing how earth mage started to get more offensive Philip knew taht his enemy already knew about his plans but he wasn't moved because it was already too late. "I will go on a little longer and show some signs of getting weaker and then I will finish him off. " What was going on in heads of fighters was unknown for spectators but what they saw was super aggressive earth mage and weakly defending Philip so they started to cheer even louder and talk about the might of the winner. But their cheers and talks were stopped when Philip made deep cut on his enemy arm making even bone visible and at the same tim it was impossible to use this arm anymore. Suprised noises could be heard on from the audience but it wasn't an end because then Philip made consecutive attacks one after another finally killing his enemy. After this fight in wich he killed native from this city people won't be so friendly to him but there was no choice. After getting his money Philip walked off the stage leaving behind bewildered audience and laying there silently corpse.
