"Now that the two has rested, we should proceed with the next contestants. Mistiban and Shinpatsu! Come inside the barrier and grab your wooden swords. We will start shortly!" Mike said to them.
Mistiban was a Chaos Knight awakener and Shin was a Swordsman awakener. Chaos Knights belonged to the Warrior clan and also the Swordsman.
The two immediately went inside the barrier with good lucks from them. They cheered for the two to have a good match.
"Hey, Mistiban! Give him a good fight!" Shouted Snap on the well.
"Shin! Beat him up okay!" Shouted Fang.
"Hey, that will be a tough fight!" Shin replied to him.
Both of them chuckled to their reactions. They swung their swords and stretched their stiff muscles. It was so long in ages since they fought properly together. They soon warmed up a bit and felt that they were prepared to fight anytime. Mike then walked inside the barrier and called the two.
"Okay, you both know the rules okay. We should fight and have camaraderie and sportsmanship. We should never cripple our opponents okay? Now get ready and fight well!" Mike said to both of them.
"I know, I know. We should test each other's strength after rebirth right? Then let's get started!" Shin shouted being excited.
"Alright!" Mistiban exclaimed.
"Get ready and fight!" Mike said to them.
The two of them immediately dashed towards each other. Mistiban slashed diagonally and Shin parried it. Mistiban again slashed and he parried it again. Shin attacked him with the hilt of his sword and it hits Mistiban on the waist. Coughing air on the process. Mistiban stepped back a bit while holding his abdomen. He focused again and grabbed his sword with both hands.
Shin was notifying him to come at him. Mistiban smiled wryly, dashing towards him. He thought that Shin was playing with him. He dashed forwards and held tight his sword. Smashing it to Shin with all his force vertically.
Tak!
The sword landed and Shin lets it slide sideways. He can't block it thoroughly because his strength was higher than him. Shin then slashed aggressively, combined with a diagonal slash, vertical, and horizontal. Mistiban who has higher strength parried it with ease. Even though Shin was lower in terms of strength, he was faster in terms of speed. Mistiban was able to parry some of his attacks but Shin was making his attacks faster and faster. Making Mistiban step back while taking some blows.
Mistiban was beaten left and right, making him at pinch. He thought of a plan to make Shin think twice before he attacks him. He used his skill [Chaos aura].
[Chaos aura]–enveloping his body and surrounding with chaos miasma. A hot black smoke with embers flowing out of his body.
With his skill, Shin stepped away from him. He felt his skin burning from the heat. He was also not planning to be burned alive. He used his skill [Conjure armor] to defend his self.
[Conjure armor]–his skill of making an armor made of mana. It was looking like the armors of Ronins, a lone samurai or a samurai without a master. It was maintained by a constant supply of mana.
He was covered with the armor and mana was flowing out of it. He dashed towards him without fear. Withstanding his chaos aura, he attacked with his wooden sword. He slashed while using his skill [Draw slash].
[Draw slash]–his skill of slashing his enemy with his sword still on his sheath. Drawing it in a flash, dealing damage and then the bleeding effects were triggered when he brings his sword back on his sheath.
He slashed Mistiban and he was hit by the sword. He was thrown to the barrier wall. With the sword being wooden, the bleeding effects were nullified. Mistiban was coughing on the process as he was still emitting miasma. Shin approached him and he defended himself with his skill [Chaos breath].
[Chaos breath]–a skill of inhaling the miasma and breathing it out towards the enemy.
He breathes out and Shin was approaching him with tremendous speed. He dashed towards him but he was in the open, being a target of his skill. Mistiban used the skill and Shin attempted to evade. But his momentum was so great that he evaded a second late. He was hit by the skill and his armor was burned. The ground itself was on embers when hit.
Shin reinforced his armor with more mana and his mana repaired itself. Mistiban approached him and dashed towards his direction. He used his skill [Berserk] while darting towards Shin.
[Berserk]–a skill that makes Mistiban have high regeneration and all his stats were doubled. Making his aggressive instincts to heighten and loses his defensive instincts on the process.
He roared and dashed towards him. Slashing Shin furiously with greater speed and greater strength. Shin defended himself and his hands were aching with every blow he received. Reverberating with every blow that Mistiban throws at him.
He was on pinch thus he used his skill [Accelerate].
[Accelerate]–his skill of making all his movements to accelerate with tremendous speed. From movement speed and attack speed. His accelerate skill will become faster with more movements like dashing and attacking.
He was exchanging blows with Mistiban and their speed was rising as time goes by. They were both blurry in the eyes caused by their speed. Mistiban jumped to Shin but he swatted him with his sword. Throwing Mistiban on the ceiling of the barrier. Shin then darted towards his direction but Mistiban darted on the wall. Making them chase each other inside like rays of lights to bouncing on the barrier.
Shin used his skill [Multi slash] towards him and Mistiban used his skill [Revenge].
[Multi slash]–Shin's skill of making seven slashes on the seven sides of the enemy. All executed at a tremendous speed.
[Revenge]–Mistiban's skill of making his stats rise with more damage he takes.
The slashes landed and it hits Mistiban furiously. Making him battered on the process. Even though it was very painful, he managed to stay on his feet. He dashed towards Shin and attacks with greater strength. They exchanged blows and were like battle maniacs. Stephen has never seen such energy and prowess in his life. Making his feet to tremble and a cold sweat to run down his spine.
The two of them still exchanged blows and was landing hits from each other. They were still energetic but their buffs were fading. Making them sit on the ground on the process. Shin's armor has faded and Mistiban's miasma has gone.
"I am not expecting much from an earth stage mana. That was a good fight Shin, I surrender to this fight." Mistiban said to him.
"Winner! Shin!"
Mistiban gave his hands and they both helped each other to walk. Healers healed the two of them and they both drank water.
Mike coughed and let out an announcement.
"Okay! Now that we are settled, the next ones will spar shortly." Mike said while holding the paper of sparring lists.
