Dez Smiled while taking out a pair of swords.
They were made from epic beast bones and look like blue crystals with a silver handle.
The swords had a very sharp blade and were Double-edged swords.
"Let's have some fun boys," said Dez taking his stand. His green eyes start to change color and made his whole iris completely red and white rings formed where his pupil was.
Dez's bloodline gave him the ability to see flaws in an opponent's attack and movements. The longer he fights the more he can 'see' and Ethan knew that.
Seeing that Ethan thought to himself."ow well shit, how can he activate his bloodline power just like that, and he's controlling it so well. Maybe this was a bad idea…." before he even finished that thought his will surged.
"No, I don't care I've never backed down anyway and this is better. Now I Don't have to hold back and I have Suki covering my back."
Ethan after focusing his mind he charged at Dez, he was very Fierce like a charging bull.
opening his attack whit a big move he jumped, joining his hands together trying to make a big slam attack that Dez couldn't block.
Indeed.
Dez did not try to block that attack. If he did he might end up whit broken arms. Ethan's strength was that strong.
With minimal shift in his position, he dodged the attack and tried to use Ethan's momentum against him pushing him with his leg trying to off-balance him to slash whit his other sword.
But Ethan's balance was impeccable. He didn't take a single extra step and stood there like a rock.
At the same time, he kicked backward so strong you could hear it coming.
Dez had to give up on his attack.
Instead, he uses his blade to timely chop at Ethan's boots while twisting his shoulders doing one more dodged. this time the attack came from Suki who had Released an arrow.
Then he immediately ducked his head letting another arrow narrowly past his head.
Right behind the arrow came a silent finger size poison needle aiming at his foot. All her needles had a numbing Poison.
He easily took a step back and avoided it but soon he realized that after duking and stepping he somehow had his back to Ethan.
Feeling the danger coming he jumped forward, behind his back came a wind pressure brushing his back. He just escaped a powerful punch. He made a roll on the ground
Tub, tub, tub. Arrows after arrows were Hitting the ground inches away from his body leaving a line of arrows behind his back. Then he stood up and ran to the closest tree and took cover. his heart was beating fast his bloodline power was reacting on its own, every passing second he felt danger coming at him but he liked it and he was feeling amazing.
All that took time to explain but it happened extremely fast.
Ethan went after Dez, he didn't care that there was a tree between them. He made a roundhouse kicked snapping the tree into pieces trying to reach Dez.
But before Ethan could have realized it a sword came straight for his right shoulder.
Sadly before hitting Ethan, 2 of Suki's kunai hit his sword making it only scratch Ethan on his arm.
For Ethan that was nothing, the clothes he was wearing were like armor on their own. Ethan started to throw some punches and kick combinations on Dez but he easily got away. And in the storm of punches and kicks, he managed to counter-attack Ethan, slashing him a few times.
For Dez dealing with Ethan wasn't hard. Ethan was stronger true but Dez was way quicker and had no problems evading Ethan's attack.
The hard part was that every time he saw an opening or a chance and made an attack came an arrow, or a needle or some type of hidden weapon flying at him. That hindered his attacks and supported Ethan.
"Damn Suki. She Can see the flow of the battle already to this extent, this is quite troublesome. But it's ok I'm just warming up."
To be honest Suki wasn't doing anything too special. Ethan's moves were just too wild because fist Fight wasn't Ethan's forte and even she could see some openings. And she knew how greedy Dez's fighting style was. Knowing that Dez would not miss a single opening, She knew where and went to attack.
The battle was indeed intense. They didn't seem like friends exchanging or sparring but more like enemies trying to kill each other. But as the fight goes on Dez got faster, Suki's weapons lost their effect on him, he was fighting 2 battles at the same time. One sword for Ethan and one sword for Suki. And he was winning, using one sword to defend and one sword to attack he manages to outsmart them and started to take control of the battle. Ethan no longer attacks but was on his guard defending. Dez was having the best time of his life against Ethan.
"Ethan the longer this fight dragged the better he gets, we need to end this quickly."
"We are switching tactics were going full firepower."
Suki screamed at Ethan.
"Sure," shouted Ethan before taking out the massive shield that even he had to hold with 2 arms.
Dez, Ethan, and Suki were friends for a long time.
So Dez understood that the shit just got real. And the most dangerous was Suki.
Ethan dashed at Dez performing his shield fighting art. It wasn't a killing art. Don't get me wrong if you get hit by that shield the best that can happen to Dez was some broken bones. The worst may indeed be dead. Because that thing hit like a full-speed moving truck. But the best quality wasn't for killing but protection. The Esmond family pride themselves on this shield Technique. It was only the basic but had a very high requirement on body control and body strength. Ethan Esmond is the pride of the Esmond family crushing every one of his generations with power, Precision, impeccable timing, and sheer brutality.
With burning rage like a mad bull Ethan attack Dez. But sadly for him, Dez was faster and his bloodline power helped him stay one step above Ethan in every move he made.
The momentum of the battle shifted again. Ethan was using his shield for attack and defense. Each swing had a wide range. And they were coming Very fast.
His stand was completely different. his shield looked like it was a part of his body there was little to no hole in his defense for Dez to abuse.
Ethan took the momentum again. He was putting pressure on Dez who went back to mostly dodging.
Even if Dez attacked his attacks mostly landed on the shield. Ethan's fighting style changed so much you wouldn't believe it was the same person. But even with that, the fight was at a standstill nobody was winning or losing.
But Ethan was swinging a tower of a shield and was burning a lot of energy.
Dez who was being pressured knew that this Wouldn't last long. He was already falling into his rhythm and his attacks were breaking into Ethan's shield art. Ethan's guard won't last for long. And Ethan knows that too better than anyone else. Because this was exactly the way he lost last year.
Looking for a way to Create some separation He made the widest swing with his shield. Dez Was forced to move back to dodge.
Ethan stabbed his shield on the ground and stood to hide behind it.
Dez at first didn't understand that move but then Dez's face went pale. Then he realizes that all this time Suki didn't make a move. But He felt immense danger coming. A danger so big that all the hair on his hands stood up. his senses were screaming at him to run away.
He Hurriedly ran away and use all his might to jump as far as possible.
not a single second after he ran.
BOOM….there was a loud thunderous blast. So strong you could even feel the ground shake.
A devastating attack.
There was a great explosion where he stood before. Making a deep hole throwing dust and dirt with dead leaves and insects and rock into the air.
Dez's body hit the ground and was pushed by the shockwaves rolling him on the ground a few meters until he stopped. His whole body was hurting. And his right leg was bleeding. Some parts on his legs also had burn marks.
While Ethan was still standing steady like a mountain but behind his shield, his hands and feet were trembling nonstop. Even he didn't know the explosion would be this strong. "I need to remember myself to not anger this psycho. For sure."
Crawling away Dez was also very shocked.
"Holy shit…. She is trying to kill me that crazy girl…." Dez thought to himself.
"I need to hurry up and find her in this damn forest or she will truly kill me before I can even see what the fuck hit me."
