Daemon and Rickey both peered at each other with ecstatic grins on their faces. The thrill of battle to death had a pleasure only warriors could feel while fighting a worthy opponent. That same scenario and event had taken place before both the fighters.Rickey had fought only simple, weak enemies all this time, whether it be before the dungeon or even before the appearance of monsters. The same could be said about Daemon. He fought a lot in his life, but only a few could make him feel threatened.Daemon and Rickey today met worthy foes; from their perspective, this battle now turned to their personal convivial rather than a duel fought in regards to their lords. Both smiled and grinned in an inscrutable way. They forgot the two people standing behind them and totally fixed their gaze on the enemy in front of them. The adversary who could experience the same titillation as one, it's hard for someone to find an opponent of high caliber and similar frenzy to them.Rickey grunted and rep
Rickey looked to Fred for permission to use his skills, while Tejasv had already given his approval with his bold statement; however, Daemon's skill wasn't exactly hidden, to begin with. Not accurately, but maybe vaguely.Almost everyone knew he had a skill that led him to increase his size enormously, but other than that, nobody had any grasp on the correct information. Yet Daemon wasn't afraid of any threat or counter to his skill.On the other hand, it was Tejasv who had concerns over that fact since the enemy could have made contingency plans before the initiation of the duel or maybe even before that. However, neither Tejasv nor Daemon were aware of their abilities, nor of Rickey or even Fred."What is it they’ll show now?" Tejasv contemplated while Daemon snorted, gazing at Rickey. He squinted his eyes and stared at the arena and Rickey.Daemon and Rickey both glared at each other while Tejasv glanced at Fred. His eyes widened and his brows were wet when he noticed Fred grinning.
Both Rickey and Daemon had resolved and were determined to use all the might in their power to begin this duel in a different direction. Both sides had displayed just the top of the heap. Now it's time to use everything, whether it be skill or strength.Rickey cracked his neck and said, "Are you ready to face the fist of your opponent for the first time? You must have only pounced on enemies with those robust punches, but today your face will have bruises of defeat."Daemon scoffed and chuckled. He replied in a haughty tone, "Maybe I’ll see your bloody body after the duel and about your punches; You’ll observe why no one could thrash me until now in any fight."They peered at each other and grunted. Although both sides stood proudly and boasted, there was a lingering fear in their hearts about the opponent's strength and skills. Fighting in these moments of the duel, one could easily deduce the strength and weaknesses.From the start of this duel, they both knew the end would be drasti
Daemon was standing still with not even an ounce of his blood on the floor. He endured that punch of Rickey and took it head-on. Nor did it seem like it hurt or nobody could spot even a bruise on him. Daemon stood grinning, watching the baffled faces of everyone.They all expected the battle to end with that clash, but Daemon somehow survived that supposed final strike of Rickey. Fred and Rickey frowned with wide eyes, while Tejasv let out a sigh of relief and smirked. His faith stood tall before his foes."How the hell did he survive the strike that would even thrash boulders to bits and mash them into sand? Is that his skill? No, he must have something as a weapon or armor. Maybe it's something I don't even know." Fred thought inwardly.While Rickey had some thoughts of his own, one should assume he had his head blanched with that outrageous battle. He swallowed and backed off from Daemon. He tried to clear his jumbled head, "W-what happened? Why is he still alive after that? I could
While others focused on the strange event, Rickey chortled aloud. He said with a smirk, "Well, Daemon I'm not as good a fighter as you, but I know how to leave a wound on my opponent even when I'm defeated. You may not have realized it, but I kept punching you again and again in the same place while enduring your beating. One of my punches may have been like a flea to you, but with numerous of them, now you feel the pain..haha."Daemon realized he had made a mistake by considering himself to be mighty and greater in every battle. However, his ignorance got him good. Although this injury won't harm him much, it would hinder him for some time in recent battles.Daemon grunted with fury, and Rickey laughed with ecstasy. After a momentary pause, even Daemon let out a slight chuckle. He never felt such a thing in any of his last fights. It was a hilarious event for him, and so he felt a deep thrill.Daemon acclaimed, "Haha... you did well. I didn't think you could have wounded me even after
Rickey saw that condemning gaze of Fred, who looked towards him with a frowning brow and a scornful and disgusting expression. Rickey knew Fred had little to no value to his subordinates. That much was advertised in his expressions even when Rickey was on his deathbed. A great lord would wish at least a farewell towards his subordinate that was dying fighting for him. However, Fred wasn't a lord, he was just a scheming strategist. Fred realized that the lord had to be someone worthy, respected, and caring by this point. Rickey's eyes turned towards Tejasv and thought he may be someone worthwhile to swear allegiance to. From afar, Tejasv smirked at his subordinate Daemon, who fought bravely for him and even bled a lot. He deserved respect and applause from Tejasv. Certainly, he got what he deserved from Tejasv since Tejasv was a lord and a dear friend of his.Tejasv went closer to Daemon and said, "Way to go, my friend. You did what I expected and your gallantry was worthwhile to watc
Daemon yelled aloud, "Why did you do that? He fought for you and died. You could've said a few words of appreciation to him, not kill him as granting punishment." He gnashed his teeth in anger and rage.Daemon would have killed Fred in the most gruesome way. He never would have thought of it even in his wildest dreams. However, Fred’s life was for Tejasv to take or forgive. He didn't want to forsake such a man like Fred and let him live, but he stood there clenching his fists and bleeding them in a rage.Tejasv understood Daemon’s inner turmoil and shook his head. He regarded Daemon highly for not killing Fred in a frenzy of enmity. Although Tejasv tried to hold his own bitterness back, the actions of Fred seemed outrageous to him also.Tejasv placed his hand on Daemon’s shoulder to appease his anger and alleviate his inner turmoil of losing someone that way. Those who shed blood together, even if they had opposite sides, formed bonds with each other. Bonds are greater than blood relat
Tejasv saw two silhouettes standing a few meters away beside some thick trees. He remembers their familiar figures and those faces scorned with animosity towards him. Those two didn't belong to the same group, nor did they belong to any friendly team.Tejasv squinted his eyes and confirmed them to be Nina of team Fred and the other was someone he never thought to be still alive in this dungeon. It was one of the thug team, whose name Tejasv never knew.Meeting these two startled Tejasv even more since thugs should be dead by now, but one of them stood before him tall and high with a wild smirk. While Tejasv now understood what he missed all this time, it was Nina of team Fred.All this time, while Fred arranged for the duel and other conversations with him, Tejasv thought he left something out of his sight and couldn't remember it. Now he remembered that it was the last member of Fred's team, Nina, who he saw entering the dungeon.Tejasv thought inwardly, "so she was the one I left to
