"The next to spar are Arthras and Snap. Now both of you get inside the barrier," Said Frank while holding the ballots.
The two of them entered without second thoughts and thus stretched a bit to warm up. Snap was a Fighter and Arthras was a Paladin. Even though they were now both kids.
Their experience was not something to be underestimated. They will most likely be energetic since they were reborn.
Arthras cracked his neck and knuckles. He immediately cast [Iron defence]. He was handed a wooden sword and used buff [Durable] on it. As well as on his clothes.
[Iron defence]–a buff skill making his body as hard as iron.
[Durable]–increasing the durability of the item that was cast upon.
Snap was warming up and saw that he was serious on this spar. Even though it was only a spar, both of them were not intending to lose.
Both of them hate it. It was also possible for them to give it their all.
Snap cast his buff [Shattering strength] and [Speed].
[Shattering strength]–a boost on the strength that made him uncomparable from his past original strength.
[Speed]–an increase in both attack speed and movement speed.
With the buffs of Snap, he will likely to be very aggressive on his attacks. Arthras was also not that timid when it comes to fighting.
The two of them were sizing up and was staring at each other. Frank was in their midst and he announced the fight.
"Okay, both of you should never make a fatal strike that may end up making your opponent disabled or much worst being killed. Remember that this is to make each other stronger and to practice with our new bodies. Knowing the two of you, it may be a very tough fight. But always remember that this is for fun and practice. Okay without further ado, this match starts now!" Frank shouted at them while moving his hands downwards.
Arthras approached with speed even though he has no offensive buff, caving-in the dirt he stepped on. Snap was also not holding back.
He dashed also with speed. He was unarmed with just his arms and legs to fight. Arthras was armed with a wooden sword but it was not enough to stop Snap.
Snap used his speed to outmatch Arthras. He dashed faster than Arthras then he punched him to the face. Arthras was hit as he was faster then he was blown to the barrier.
Bang!
The barrier was hit and it was very loud that they covered their ears. Arthras was on the barrier wall but he stands up and then removed the dust on his clothes.
"Damn Snap, you dirtied my clothes!" He shouted as he removed the dust.
Snap was dumbstruck but he smiled as he remembered Arthras. He was called the buff master for a reason.
"Alright, alright, that means I'm gonna enjoy beating you like a punching bag!" Snap said to him.
"Hey, it's not fair! You should hold back a little!" He shouted at him while his hands on his mouth.
Arthras dashed to him and swings his sword vertically. Snap saw his attack and he parried his sword sideways with his bare hands.
The sword slams the ground and then left the ground to be caving-in, dirt was scattered everywhere.
Snap then hits him with his elbow then punched him with both hands at the same time. Arthras has slammed again on the barrier and he stands up again.
"Hey! I can't hold my barrier much longer if you were that aggressive!" Shouted Baggus at them.
"We were just getting started!" Shouted Snap inside.
Baggus reinforced his barrier with much more layers to hold them inside, sweating profusely.
Arthras was coughing on the dust and stands up again. He used his buff [Elemental damages] on his sword and then used [Physical and Elemental Shield].
[Elemental Damages]–imbuing the weapon with Fire, Ice, Poison, and, Electric damages. While the Earth damage makes the weapon harder and heavier, the wind damage makes the sword to release wind as he swings it. The elemental damages were triggered at random chance.
[Physical and Elemental Shield]–his skill that blocks the physical and elemental damages to a certain degree.
Snap was looking at his opponent to be having a great leap in terms of power. The battle will be harder to win with just his buff.
So he used what he has temporarily and cast the buff [Gentle and Hard fist] as well as [Axe kick and Roundhouse kick].
[Gentle and Hard fist]–the two of the most basic skills of the fist series. The Gentle fist that emits shockwave and the Hard fist that makes his attack to become explosive. Can be combined to the Kick series.
[Axe kick and Roundhouse kick]–the two most basic of the kick series. Axe kick was hitting the ground by a vertical slam of the feet and the Roundhouse kick that kicks sideways to the enemy. Can be combined to the fist series.
He dashed towards Arthras then jumped towards him. Making an axe kick above him.
Arthras was expecting this so he used his sword to slash upwards against the approaching enemy.
Their skills clashed and Arthras' sword activated the Fire damage. Exploding on the process.
Bang!
Snap rotated upwards and smoke was in his feet. Landing on the ground and feeling his burned feet.
"Hey, that was not nice!" Snap blurted out.
He felt that Arthras was doing it on purpose. His pajamas were burned on the process. He blows his feet then stands up again. This time, Snap turned serious.
"I gotta let loose now. Here I go!" He shouted and dashed towards him. Leaving a crater at his feet.
He saw Arthras approaching too so he turned more careful this time. Arthras swings his sword diagonally but Snap evaded sideways from his blow.
He was very careful not to trigger the sword's enchantment. Arthras smashed the ground and the Earth damage was triggered.
His sword smashed the ground and it cracked as it landed. Making a great crater and dirt was all over the place.
Dust was all over the place and they can't see what was happening inside.
Bang!
A loud noise was emitted and someone crashed to the top barrier.
Bang!
A series of blows was shaking the ground from where they stood. Stephen felt the ground to shake with every blow that was made.
Dust began to fade and they saw that Arthras was thrown towards the ceiling of the barrier and then when he was landing on the ground, Snap initiated his gentle fist towards him.
Making him thrown to the barrier wall. He stands up again without damage and saw Snap approaching.
He swings his sword and a gust of wind was emitted from his sword. Making Snap thrown by the wind that assaulted him. He slammed to the other side of the barrier and gasped air.
Bang!
Arthras slammed his sword on the ground and an Electric spark was emitted towards Snap. Crawling like a predator towards its prey.
Snap saw this so he moved faster than before. The Spark exploded on the barrier and it made the spectators at awe.
Snap approached him much faster than before and executed a combo of attacks. He dashed with all his force towards Arthras and Arthras jolted in his sudden move.
It made him almost think that he teleported in front of him. He used [Hard fist] on his face then [Gentle fist] to his waist.
Arthras was blown again and he thrust his sword on the ground to maintain balance. While he was making his best efforts not to slam again on the barrier wall, he was assaulted with Arthras' [Roundhouse kick]. Rotating once then kicked him on the waist.
Bang!
He has slammed again on the wall then looked at where was Snap. In his surprise, he was up above him and he was executing [Axe kick].
His sword was not in his hands but it was trusted on the ground from where he trusted it before.
Making him lose his sword when he was kicked. He attempted to block his kick with his hands and then Snap landed the kick.
Bang!
It was all dusty all over and the spectators were excited to see who won. In just a second that passed, they saw the dust to clear and Arthras was below Snap.
The ground caved-in as Arthras' feet were dug to the ground. Snap's feet were on his arms, still blocking his feet.
Both of them moved away from each other and Frank stopped them.
"Stop! Both of you!" Frank shouted at them.
They both looked at him seemingly not yet contented with their spar from each other.
"Huh? Why! We can still go on!" Snap shouted.
Frank was laughing at him.
"You see Snap, you can easily hit him but he will not be damaged at all! So both of you were a tie! You Snap won the aggressiveness and Arthras won the endurance. We all know, both of you won't stop until tomorrow but still no one will surrender." Frank said then folded his hands towards his armpit.
"Okay right, like I can defeat you though," Snap said to him.
"I can't seem to inflict damage like him so it was a stalemate. He can't seem to do damage to me too." Arthras said then raised his hands.
"I surrender!" Arthras said.
"Huh? Me too!" Snap said then laughed.
The spectators clapped their hands to them.
"Wow, both of you should say sorry to my barrier! You made me have a hard time maintaining it!" Shouted Baggus at them. Both of them laughed and also the spectators.
"Okay, that concludes it. The next ones will be....." Frank said while reading the ballot.
