Chapter 23 - Exchange Between Races (1/2)
”Take this!”
”Hahaha.....what a useless attack! Try my giant hammer!”
”Ahhhhh!”
The first battle of the Battle of Wars, the Battle of Might started with a group skirmish.
Screams and pain filled cries rang out the stadium as claws slashed and fangs ripped off necks from their bodies. Blinding lights of magic and spells span about hurling bodies into the air as shapes shifted from humans to wild beasts in midair.
Boom!
Bang!
Roar!
Growl!
Boom!
Ahhh!
The more blood split, the fiercer and more violent the entanglement became. The greater the entanglement, the more blood split.
There was no longer any sanity left in the creatures.
Blood lust and madness intermingled together, devouring any last shred of restraint or self-control that chained the feral beasts inside their hearts. Their blood boiled at the scent of the metallic liquid as their souls surged at the sight of the flowing red river.
Soon, sticky blue, black, and red blood soaked and dripped from the already crimson soil of the arenas, turning them an even brighter shade of red.
Corpses littered half the grounds of the six stages like strings of frail pearls, brutally wrenched and mutilated beyond recognition.
On the first arena, Eeguro's muscles flexed as he swung his giant hammer at the vampire that lunged at him. His giant figure made it difficult for him to respond to his swift attacks, almost resulting in causing his own demise in their many exchanges, however, what he lacked in speed, he made up for it in strength.
”Stop right there!”
The second the vampire flashed pass his attack, he smashed his giant hammer on the ground, cracking the whole arena floor apart. The vampire's figure paused, before appearing unveiled in front of his strongest competitor.
Just as Eeguro was about to move to finish the beast off, a rancid acidic smell assaulted his nostrils.
Dazedly, he lowered his head in disbelief and he saw the place where his heart should have been, had now gained a gaping hole that was quickly expanding to the rest of his body.
”Impossible...how can I be defeated so easily?”
With a thud, his giant body fell to the ground. His eyes turned milky gloss while his vitality seeped out into the cement floor.
Before long, nothing remained of the Frightening Giant except for his lonely hammer.
Mike watched the powerless form of the scary Giant that gave him a headache with his insurmountable strength, disappear from the Nar realm forever due to an ugly Ogre's acid vomit.
”I cannot have such an ending. I need to move with caution and care.”
With such a prime example of kill or be killed in front of his very eyes, he did not dare to let his guard down or underestimate any enemy of a lesser race.
Because in a battle to the death, no enemy was lesser being as long as they had the ability to kill you and wipe out your existence.
With that train of thought, he got up resolutely and charged. Only this time, his attacks and defenses were even more tight, his approach more cautious as he evaded and flashed through a crowd of Dwarfs and Satyrs that chased after him.
Bang!
The grotesque figure of a minotaur roughly crashed to the ground as a two-headed demon with long spear in his hand stamped towards him. The figure struggled to get back on his feet, fight for his only chance at survival.
”There is no point. It's over.”
Wack!
Thud!
A head rolled and blood sprouted like a fountain. The struggling minotaur was now nothing but a headless, his head kicked off the arena like a useless flame rock.
An eagle flew with a flock of peguman hot on his tail. The two races' took the sky as their battleground, their wings flapping and beating as they sent gales of windstorm in the air, hindering everyone's vision.
Before the crowd could figure out what was going on, the team of peguman were bleeding and screaming as if their entire family were exterminated before their very eyes.
It might as well have been, because soon, their screams turned into shrill shrieks as blood gushed out of their eyes, ears, nose, and mouth.
In the next instant, they froze, still as statues.
