Despite the fight of Kian and Ryan and Voogd, They still let David take the fight with his Great Grandfather Luke. David walks through the other side of the Arena while Luke just stays in the middle.
It's a strange kind of truce. There are no fights, there is only the quietness of their breathing mixed with the soft sound of their clothes moving with the wind of the Arena as they move. The whole place is eerily calm except for the occasional flapping of a small pigeon as it lands to feed on the grass.
Luke immediately summons his spears as he pounds it in the ground changing his appearance into an armored character. His appearance can be described as a Chinese general. He has an armor that is colored as green and a two Chinese architectural roof in two shoulders with the design of Dragon head in the tip. His waist has the face of a Dragon and a glove made of jade with gold tint on it. His masks resemble a particular Beijing opera mask. His back had a flag waving as the air blew around. "Come on let's start this already Kiddo." Luke says teasing him.
Luke the noble tank is the former head of the Dela Muerte Clan , Great Grandfather of Black and David. The scrolls say before on how Luke manages to singlehandedly defend the clan from the battalion of the Dead. He is also capable of spear combat that they say are made of the dragons skins and soaked to the melted gold. The most strongest Guardian of Shians ever recorded. Luke is also capable of iaijutsu but uses a spear instead, Jujutsu, Kung fu, the deadly Hapkido , Muay Thai and Sumo. Making him the most deadly guardian ever served and fighting into a close to close combat.
This means he was able to hold out against thousands of enemy soldiers by himself. It takes years for him to become this great of a Guardian.
But the battle isn't over yet. David and Luke don't want to hurt each other but they also know that the battle will come sooner or later. So they both decide to play their part. And now it's time for their dueling game. Both have their weapons ready to strike. Luke eyes glow white like the sun and their bodies shake to their every action.
David carefully uses kyoketsu-shoge for his main advantage as he knows that he can't really attack Luke in close and mid range. Throwing the circle part first trying to catch Luke's attention to catch it. Luke instead grabs the circle and pulls it out making David plunge into his direction. However as soon as David hits Luke he suddenly disappears and reappears behind David. Then, Luke strikes him in the back using his spear. David quickly jumps to the right dodging Luke's spear strike but not being able to dodge another spear strike at the same time.
Luke burst out laughing holding to his belly. "A Kyoketsu-shoge I see, Thinking that you use a long range deadly weapon in the first fight means you read some history books. Seems like Haedo really makes you a knowledgeable one."
David holds on his back and rushes into Luke. He reveals his Kusarigama and throws the other end to Luke's fight and makes him fall down. Luke tries to take his staff when suddenly the end of the Kusarigama that was into his feet before suddenly attached to the spear makes him able to directly attack Luke.
As David hits the top of Luke's spear with the blunt side of his sword he pushes off it so that Luke falls down. With the spear gone, Luke stands up grabbing the Kusarigama back again before throwing it towards David. The tip of the blade almost impales David's neck but as it goes past David's chin he quickly flips on the floor and flips up and grabs Luke's spear hitting him with all his force. The point of the spear was stabbed deep into the ground making David fall down. David then proceeds to get off the floor and pull the spear back. Before Luke could do anything else, he quickly stabbed the spear into his chest.
Luke being stabbed with his own staff begins to clap." I see, you did know that only my spear is able to penetrate my armor. You may also know that it doesn't really work." Luke said in between laughs. "But your attack worked well enough to make me lose balance. Good job David! You won our little duels!"
"It doesn't mean we're done." David says pulling his sword to reveal that the blade is covered in black blood. David looks behind and sees the not harmed Luke sitting in the background drinking tea.
"Stop doing your ink illusion Great Grandfather. It shows that you are boring." David says but Luke just laughs into this insult.
"Ohhh... I get it! You're calling me great grandpa!" Luke laughed as he got up from the floor. "Okay then, I'm going to prove what my great grandpa is supposed to be. Come at me Kiddo! Do what you do best in your Kyoketsu."
David gets into his fighting position. He took his Kusarigama and threw it at Luke who easily blocked it with the edge of his sword making him turn his back. David tried stabbing Luke again but Luke turned around and blocked that too. "You're a fast learner Kiddo. But you're also not good enough to beat me."
Just as David is about to jump at Luke, Luke pulled his spear to throw David over. As David lands to the left he immediately stands up to defend himself. Luke then swings to his back again and stab his spear to David's arm. Luke used his spear to hit David's chest sending him flying to the left. Luke then kicks David's back which made him fall. "Do you surrender Kiddo? I believe you should surrender now."
David looked back at Luke, "Why would I surrender when I have the strength to beat you?"
Luke laughed even more, "Ha ha, very funny Kiddo! Just give up. This isn't a fair fight. You're too weak. Why not call it quits?"
David grit his teeth,"You might've been the most skilled warrior in this world. But I've been training for a century. I'll surpass you in no time!"
Luke rolls his eyes, "Really? Okay, then let's do this. If I win, you will stop being your Shian's Guardian, and if you win you'll be staying."
David thought about what Luke said. Is this a chance? To stay? A chance of living a normal life for the rest of his life? He thinks about everything he had lived, and everything he will live, but finally decides that he couldn't give it up, especially not after seeing how much he wanted to live for himself. "Fine, if you win then I will leave for real."
Luke's face brightens up with excitement, "Then fight Kiddo! Let's get this battle over with!"
"Yes, sir!" David yells. He runs towards Luke who dodges his attacks by running away. Once he was near enough, Luke punched David on his face. As soon as he hits David David quickly grab Luke's spear and stab it into Luke's shoulder forcing Luke to drop the weapon. He then punched Luke's gut and pushed him to the wall.
David continues attacking while holding back from any serious hits he can manage, however Luke has the strength to keep kicking David.
