My Godkiller System

One Sided Duel

Ryan almost vomited blood from the amount of anger he was feeling at that moment. Grandpa Enzo laughed loudly from the side, to him the two youths where putting up quite a show and he was enjoying every bit of it.

He had noticed their hostility towards each other before they entered the dining hall but just ignored it.

Ryan without warning lunged at Shian and kicked him in his chest, flinging him out of his seat and scattering all the food on the table. Grandpa Enzo barely had enough time to react and all he could do was hold Ryan's leg before he could deal another kick to the already down Shian.

Everything happened within a split second.

Shian slid back for some meters before finally coming to a stop. He clutched his chest with his face down, he breathed in and out heavily.

As he received the kick from Ryan, a memory surfaced in his mind. He remembered something his father told him before he died, his father told him how he ran to Eric Solar for help when he was kidnapped, but was pushed back to his attackers without any mercy, to him, the way Ryan just kicked him seemed similar and an uncontrollable anger was building up in him rapidly.

He slowly raised his head up, and to the shock of Grandpa Enzo, he was wrapped in a cold and deadly grey colored aura, his eyes where glowing a dark grey color, Ryan couldn't see them, coupled with the fact that only those with an aura of their own could sense someone else's aura, Ryan didn't suspect a thing. He still had a deep scowl on his face and was trying to free himself from Grandpa Enzo's grip.

"GRANDPA!!! LET GO OFF ME RIGHT NOW!!! LET ME DEAL WITH THIS SHIT HOLE!!!" Ryan screamed.

"I don't think you should do that right now." Grandpa Enzo said, his eyes still fixated on Shian. 'Its not like you have the strength or skills to defeat him.'

'But what is this pseudo aura that he's generating. This kid.... he just keeps surprising me.'

"WHAT DO YOU MEAN? LEAVE ME THIS INSTANT!!!" Ryan kept trashing around.

Although Ryan had a reason to be angry, he was overdoing it and Grandpa Enzo was beginning to get annoyed at that.

"Ok, if you two want to fight, take it to the arena, you've destroyed this place enough." Grandpa Enzo's voice boomed out, stunning Ryan —who was close to him— briefly.

Ryan looked around and saw that he had cracked the dining table slightly and scattered food everywhere.

He snorted coldly and walked out heading towards the arena.

"Let's go!" Grandpa Enzo said to Shian who was already standing up. The pseudo aura surrounding him had dissolved completely without any trace as if it was never there.

Shian followed Grandpa Enzo like a robot, his face looking like he could kill anything at that moment.

They entered a large room that was brightly lit, it had red marks on the white walls which Shian soon came to realize as dried blood, on one side of the wall, there where different kinds of weapons, ranging from long range weapons, to melee weapons and from the energy he could sense from them, they where all basic tier weapons.

In the center of the room was a raised stage, Ryan could be seen standing on one side of the stage with a sword in his hands waiting impatiently.

"Hey are you fighting or not, I really can't wait to whoop to your ass." Ryan voiced out.

"..." Shian didn't say anything and just walked to the stage and stood opposite Ryan.

Grandpa Enzo stood to the side with his arms folded. 'If things get rough, I'll jump in and stop them.'

"There can only be a winner if one of you admits defeat or is knocked out. Also you are allowed to win in anyway you see fit. With that out of the way, are you ready!?" Grandpa Enzo said and pointed to Ryan.

"Yeah"

"Are you ready!?" He pointed to Shian.

Shian simply replied with a growl.

"Begin."

Ryan dashed swiftly to Shian's side and swung his sword towards his neck, Shian dodged the sword strike easily and performed a backflip creating distance between themselves again. Ryan seeing this muttered to himself.

"Slippery bastard"

Shian summoned a weapon, a thick chain about two and a half meters long materialized in his hands.

The chain was tainted with stains of blood which made Ryan become wary, he didn't attack immediately but studied him, looking for an opening to attack, and when he saw it, he went for it.

Unknown to him, Shian had created that opening so that he could fall for it therefore creating an opportunity for him to counterattack, this was one of the fighting style that he had learnt from his father.

Ryan charged at Shian with his sword by his side, when he reached striking range, he slashed his sword at Shian's left shoulder, Shian who was holding the chain with his two hands shot his left hand up, the end of the chain that was in his left hand shot up like a viper and coiled around the sword, Shian spun while moving forward, he moved his right hand and swung the other chains end like a whip, a loud bang travelled through the air as the chain collided with Ryan's abdomen.

Ryan reeled forward and almost vomited his dinner, he caught himself before he fell and faced Shian again. This time though, there was a one handed sword in his hand.

Shian moved and attacked Ryan with his sword, Ryan barely blocked the strike and was pushed back by some meters, without waiting for him to recover Shian attacked him fiercely.

The sound of their swords clashing rang out with both of them trying to gain the upper hand, or rather, Ryan was trying to get a chance to attack but couldn't find a chance to. Shian meanwhile completely dominated him both in strength and in skills, Ryan's body was soon filled with several cuts and purple swollen marks.

Ryan couldn't even understand Shian's thinking as kept switching weapons mid fight, from swinging his one handed sword to suddenly swinging a scythe, from swinging the scythe to thrusting a trident, from thrusting his trident to stabbing with a dagger, from stabbing with a dagger to slashing with a sickle or long sword from using all kinds of weapons to kicking with a metal boot or punching with a gauntlet.

Ryan didn't want to suffer anymore and tried to raise his hands to admit defeat, he barely raised his hands halfway before it was kicked brutally, a snapping sound was heard and Ryan tried to scream but only a silent groan escaped his mouth, his whole body had several purple —almost black— swollen marks, which where caused by Shian's punches, kicks and blunt weapons.

Grandpa Enzo stood to the side motionless, he wasn't moved in any way by what was occurring before him, though his grandson was being punished in several terrible ways, he didn't flinch or try to stop the fight, in his mind it was Ryan who brought it upon himself, he didn't understand why Ryan acted the way he did today, and thought that the punishment he was receiving was well deserved.

Grandpa Enzo finally moved with inhumane speed and stood in between Shian and Ryan.

The fight had come to an end as Ryan had passed out.

"That's enough Shian, you've won already."
