Chapter 2 - Clash Of Strength Against Flames!

The bearer of fire and the bearer of earth remain standing in their position while watching the fight.

"I trust him," the bearer of earth commented. He laughs softly while holding his white beard on his chin.

The bearer of fire closes his eyes and nods. But in his mind, he is doubting if he will trust or not trust the boy's capabilities to win the battle he's facing right now.

Meanwhile, Nathaniel swings his sword against the incoming punch from his enemy. The impact of the punches sends him dashing away against the ground until he falls on his ass.

"You're insanely weak compared to the prey that I once fought!" he laughed at Nathaniel.

The laughter results in Nathaniel pushing himself back to his feet. "Geez! Is that what you can do? Insult me?"

Multiple scenes appear in Nathaniel's perspective, a scene where a man is exchanging punches imbued with flames against a gigantic humanoid.

"That was!" Nathaniel spoke to himself.

The bearer of fire inhales deeply. "What is going on in his mind right now?"

Nathaniel touches his forehead, his eyes are shaking along with his body. "That was strange."

"Ah! You're pretending to be crazy because you thought that would turn me off?" Fang laughed like a madman, "Boy! I don't get turned off! Especially if my prey is fighting against me!

"Ain't no predator going to back down from a challenging prey!"

Fang runs toward him and attempts to smash his head with his two big hands. A wind blows on Nathaniel's head, and he lowers his body to an almost split.

"Hey!" he yelled with all his energy, and veins appeared on his forehead meaning he was getting mad.

Nathaniel launches a kick with all his might, causing an impact on his enemy's chin, bringing his enemy's head to move upwards while stumbling like a boxer that has been struck by a dominating uppercut.

He regains his footing and shakes his head, and his sight gets hazy.

Nathaniel steps closer and cuts a portion of the flesh on his abdomen with a swing of his burning sword.

Fang uses a roar, its echo results in the ground tremble where Nathaniel is standing, and air gathers around him as a barrier.

Nathaniel's skin releases flames, crawling on his hands and feet. Hence, he jumps with the blasts from the flames on his feet pushing him further in mid-air.

Nathaniel swings his sword downward and releases a flaming slash downwards. Fang counters the slash with his roar, shutting the flames and striking Nathaniel.

"Ack!" Nathaniel fell to the ground.

He stands up immediately, and he raises his sword and the blade receives the punch from Fang. The impact was so strong that it sent Nathaniel flying away.

Nathaniel sees another scene in his mind wherein the same man fights against the same large humanoid.

He groans and tells himself. "I can't see what his enemy looks like. But I think, I won't be seeing mine when I got knocked down."

Nathaniel looks down on his fingers being covered in flames. "If I have this power then I can mold this to any shape."

He aims his hand on the blade of his sword. He channels his fire onto his hand and releases flames, covering the blade of his sword.

The flames take on the form of a large blade, and he sprints toward Fang. Nathaniel swings his sword towards his enemy but Fang jumps backward with chuckles coming out of his mouth.

The ground beneath Fang's foot turns into a trap; clamping his foot tightly. Fang groans and he pulls his foot from it but a flaming blade cuts it.

His eyes widen due to the pain he's feeling, and he moves his eyes toward Nathaniel who's crouching while preparing to use his sword at him.

Fang clenches his hands, and he jumps toward Nathaniel, ready to pounce.

"You will not harm me again!" Fang declared.

Spikes made of stones emerge from the ground, piercing through Fang's chest down to his abdomen.

"Wrong declaration." Nathaniel gripped the handle of his sword tightly.

Nathaniel swings his sword once again towards Fang, unfortunately, Fang pulls himself from the stone spikes causing him to avoid the flaming blade.

"He'll be the death of me!" Fang yelled in his mind.

"Are you afraid of what I can do?" Nathaniel swirled his sword.

He aims his sword at Fang. "Come here and I'll cut your head off."

The shape of a fireball appears under Nathaniel's left eye, spreading lines up to his forehead.

"That mark!" the bearer of earth exclaimed.

"That boy shouldn't have awakened that mark earlier!" he added.

The bearer of fire steps forward and narrows his eyes. "I will step in if he loses control... that mark will give him a boost in power but it can also make him lose control due to the emotional effect of using a certain elemental mark."

Meanwhile, Nathaniel swings his sword, and each swing blocks Fang's punches until he moves quickly and throws a punch straight to Nathaniel's waist.

The punch sends Nathaniel crushing towards a lamppost, his eyes close as his teeth grit. An involuntary cough comes out of his mouth and pushes himself back to his feet.

"Are you just going to block my attacks?" Fang moved his head from left to right; cracking his bones.

Inside, he is joyful about Nathaniel's state. He couldn't wait to kill that young man standing against him.

With great speed, he disappears and appears in front of Nathaniel. The young man suddenly moves away from the incoming punch while he lowers his sword.

"You!" Fang stepped back.

"You got me there!" Fang looked at his left wrist which was bleeding after Nathaniel severed it.

Nathaniel's skin reddens further until flames come out of it, soaring up to the sky. The flames disappear, and Nathaniel's skin is dark red, he is wearing a red robe with oversized dark red pants and a pair of red boots.

"That form!" the bearer of earth said, "He is using it! Did you teach him already?!"

The bearer of fire stays quiet while watching the fight but he speaks according to what he sees. "Let's see where his fight takes him."

Nathaniel avoids every punch from Fang and he steps forward. Fang inhaled deeply and released a massive roar, pushing Nathaniel away.

"I'll get defeated! He's stronger than me, and my fire is not useful against him," Nathaniel told himself.

A change of mind appears to developed in his mind, and that decision pushes him to jump toward Fang.

Nathaniel kicks Fang straight on his forehead; the flames on Nathaniel's foot shine until it releases an explosion.

The bursts of flames sends Fang rolling away from him, but he pushes himself back to his feet. He is trembling due to the damage Nathaniel dealt to his body, and Fang is breathing faster while blood flows gently from the cut on his forehead.

In his perspective, Nathaniel remains to be covered in a fire aura while standing calmly with his sword pointing at him.

"I won't admit defeat," Fang declared with so much determination in his voice.

Nathaniel charges the fire coating the blade of his sword; illuminating the darkest parts of the park.

"Brilliance Cut!"

Nathaniel covers himself with flames, moving faster toward Fang. The large muscular man shakes his head, and a red aura covers his form while his muscle throbs as his skin darkens.

"I won't let you defeat me!" Fang jumped, causing the ground underneath his feet to crash in pieces.

Nathaniel swings his sword towards Fang while Fang thrusts his left hand towards the sword.

A spark occurs upon the clash of both men, the collision of both attacks causes a tremendous eruption of flames followed by a shockwave; ruining the landscape, and sending the benches and lampposts flying away.

The smoke disappears, and Nathaniel and Fang are standing in front of each other with Fang's fist touching the blade of Nathaniel's sword.

Nathaniel coughs and falls to the ground as Fang falls to his knees but Nathaniel's legs straighten, avoiding Nathaniel's fall.

"You are strong," Fang said.

His fingernails sharpened, and he thrust them towards Nathaniel but got blocked by Nathaniel's sword.

"So, you're still standing!" Fang laughed.

"Of course I am!" Nathaniel raised his head.

He gets punched by Fang straight to his face but Nathaniel remains standing, unfortunately, he receives multiple punches but he remains standing amidst the physical damage he received.

Fang cracks his knuckle and thrusts his fist straight to his face but Nathaniel blocks it with his sword.

The mark vanishes as Nathaniel's eyes turn white because of his exhaustion. Fang thrusts his hand towards him, and a green energy appears between them; flashing a piercing bright light.

When the blinding light fades away, Nathaniel is nowhere to be seen only Fang remains.

"What a coward!" Fang roared, releasing a massive force that destroyed the entire park.

There was nothing left but the pieces of the wrecked ground, lampposts, and pieces of the statue scattered everywhere.
