DD exploded into a mist of black smoke. The smoke dropped and covered the arena floor. DD was nowhere to be seen.
Aquarius, seeming to have a sixth sense, put up a wall of water behind her. DD appeared right where she put the wall and caught his blade mid swing. She put the barrier down and quickly used her dagger to slam DD'S blade into the ground. She ran up the blade and jumped over DD, she swiped at him from behind, but her blade went right through leaving mist behind.
suddenly the smoke on the floor began to rise creating a ceiling of smoke. Black blades fell from the mist raining onto Aquarius. Aquarius showed great agility, maneuvering her way around all the blades. she did cartwheels, and back handsprings to avoid the oncoming onslaught.
When the blades hit the ground they turned into smoke and grabbed onto Aquarius's feet. once the smoke touched her, her movements decreased dramatically.
Aquarius was frustrated with the stalemate, she gathered a large ball of water above her head, ignoring the blades that left small cuts on her body. she released the energy and when it hit the shadow roof it exploded, water rained from above. DD fell from the sky, he hit the ground hard.
Aquarius charged forward, she was pretty far away so DD took his time getting up. Aquarius knowing she wouldn't make it in time put a chain made of water on her dagger. She threw the dagger upwards, when it was within range of her legs she spun and kicked the blade launching it forward with great force. It hit DD right in the side, the blade stuck 4 inches deep. Aquarius jumped in the air and yanked the chain upwards, the blade cut up on DD making the wound much worse.
DD grabbed the chain and yanked it hard. Aquarius flew towards him. He drew his blade and struck downwards when Aquarius was within range. A large crater formed and the arena shook. Aquarius placed a barrier of water on the blade it greatly diminished the damage, but there was still a large slash acrossed her back.
DD didn't stop there, with Aquarius still being under his blade he pointed the blade downwards trying to stab right through her. Aquarius let out a grunt of exertion as she used a lot of her magic to launch DD and the sword away from her. he flew to the left.
He hit the barrier with enough force that it bent and rubber banded him to the right of Aquarius. Aquarius turned to her right, she swung her dagger upwards stabbing DD in the gut. He launched into the ceiling. a crater formed on the ceiling from the impact. a bunch of rocks fell downwards.
DD being on the verge of exhaustion threw out a black marbel at Aquarius. Aquarius knew what he wanted to do, she smacked the marbel away with the hilt of her dagger, if exploded on the left of the arena. DD teleported to the smoke. Him and 15 other DD's ran out from the smoke. They dodged and weaved between each other trying to scramble the real one. Aquarius threw out multiple water slashes, it cut through 6 of them before they got to close to use slashes.
She jumped over one and used a water blade to cut into him. he turned into smoke. the smoke clung to her arm slowing it down. She proceded to take out the rest one by one, each time taking on a bit of smoke. By the time she took them all out half of he body was completely black, it looked like she intentionally used one side of her body so she could use the other at full speed.
DD appeared out of Aquarius's right side. he swung widely to the right. Aquarius blocked, then jumped backwards. when she landed she created a thin layer of water over her skin. the water detached the shadow. She dismissed the water and the shadow fell off and disappeared.
Both fighters were huffing and panting. DD backed away. he threw 7 marbels out at once in different directions. Aquarius was surrounded by atleast 100 DD's. She became overwhelmed quickly. She ran out of mana and was forced to rely on her combat skill. once Aquarius was worn out enough all the DD's lunged at her. it looked like they were killing themselves on top of her. they each exploded onto her which caused a bit of shadow to cling onto her each time. Eventually Aquarius was so covered in shadow you couldn't even see her.
DD walked slowly up to Aquarius. He nodded then bowed before raising the blade to Aquarius's throat.
Buzzers rang.
"DD is our winner!"
The crowd erupted into cheers. Even those who wanted Aquarius to win cheered.
DD dismissed the shadows and Aquarius dropped to her knee. She quickly forced herself to stand and looked into the crowd, she gave a wave and a warm smile before limping off the arena where medical staff waited for her.
The Holographic man appeared
"DD has won the event! What a fight, I was biting my nails for a large portion of it. now for the victors reward! There will be a public wedding in a month. Everyone is welcome to attend! If you placed bets on this fight then please go to the betting booth to collect winnings. Enjoy your evenings!"
the hologram disappeared.
Chase was to stunned to speak.
'that fight was incredible.'
"he's amazing right" Helena said with a smile.
" he's the most powerful fighter in this city"
Chase gave off a yawn, he didn't realize how long he'd been without sleep. Now that he thought about it last time he slept was in his world, and it was only for 3 hours.
Helena looked at him "do you have a place to sleep for tonight?"
"sadly no, part of the whole being teleported here thing" Chase said sadly.
" no worries, I can spare some coin to give you. there are plenty of places to sleep at the guild"
"Really, thank you Helena I appreciate that" Chase said with a smile
"No problem, besides I need you at your best for tomorrow anyways"
