110 Veteran Vs Rookie (1/2)

”Oni Iaido!” Faust lowers the sword on his hip forward, draws the sword out by holding the handle and instantly withdraws the sword back before the whole blade is exposed.

A powerful slash travelled through the air towards Garuda at a high speed. The attack travelled at the speed of a bullet but produced by a sword. But Garuda evades the attack by swiftly moving to his left.

At the same time as Garuda dodged it by moving to his left, Faust is waiting behind him with his sword, he swings his sword and Garuda leaps forward with great speed barely dodging it,

”Tsk?” Faust gets frustrated as his attacks keep missing Garuda.

”No doubt about it! It is teleportation.” Hades utters out.

”Did Ares also have this ability?” Leviathan asks in a surprise since many things are matching and common between Ares and Faust.

*No! He cannot, he never did, but, even though this kid can teleport, he seems to be slow.” Hades replies while observing Faust.

”Are you thinking that if you could try a little harder, you can catch up to me in speed? It is not that easy kid!” Garuda smiles as a portal opens on his side.

He pulls out two black gloves which have metal spikes on the top. And in between the spikes on top of his hand, appears to be a purple stone and an orange stone

Purple stone on his right glove and orange one on his left. *”The purple stone on gloves than on a rifle? Is he going to electrocute me by holding me with those gloves? And that orange stone.”* Faust thinks to himself.

”Doesn't matter! I will break your other leg too and wipe the floor with you.” Faust takes off without wasting a second. He clearly remembers that the orange stone is a healing stone that heals your body, he cannot afford to give time for Garuda to heal himself.

Faust teleports behind Garuda again, Garuda swiftly turns back to stop the blade with the metal spikes on his gloves. Before the sword touches the spikes of the gloves, Faust teleports again and this time he is above Garuda inches away from thrusting the sword into his skull.

Garuda still manages to put his right hand above his head blocking the sword before it lands onto him, Faust the flips in the air kicking the hand of Garuda away that is blocking the sword, opening a gap to land another attack on his head. But Garuda puts his other hand on his head as a defence and grabs the sword of Faust with both of his hands.

Faust can see the orange stone shining brightly, which means the healing process has already begun and happening as he is fighting. Immediately, Faust can also see that both hands of Garuda are above his head, defending himself from the sword, so leaving his sword in the hands of Garuda, Faust teleports under him, inches away from landing a kick onto the inner knee of his right leg.

As both of Garuda's hands are on top of his head, it would take more time for him to bend down to him and defend. This opening is what Faust has been searching for till now.

Before Faust could land a kick, the right leg of Garuda is lifted into the air and poured onto the right hell of Faust. He stepped on Faust's heel as if he stepped onto some insect.

”AHHHHHHH!” Faust lets out a cry due to the pain of his heel getting crushed under the feet of Garuda. This time he did not use his hands or gloves but used his feet.

Faust crumbles and shouts under the foot of Garuda, while Garuda doesn't feel anything and he applies more of his body weight on his right leg, crushing the heel of Faust even more, if it's a leg it wouldn't have been so painful but having something pressed directly onto the bone is giving yet another sharp pain to Faust like his ribs.

Faust looks at his sword that is in the hands of Garuda, he teleports it into his hand and swings the sword in front of him which makes Garuda step back, Faust too teleports back a few feet away from Garuda.

He takes the support of his sword and gets up on his feet while gasping for breath. Things are not looking good for him at all.

”Ohhhhh! It's all healed now, aww feels so good.” Garuda, on the other hand, moves his left leg freely and throws kicks into the air. His leg is completely healed.

”And now.” Saying that, Garuda places both of his hands in front of him before his face and takes the stance of a boxer. He slowly starts to move his feet and shortly, he starts moving with a good feet work like a professional boxer.

*”B-boxing?”* Faust is surprised by the way Garuda moves. *”He cannot hit me if I don't go too close to him, sword arts is better than boxing, no matter how you see it.”* saying that Faust holds his sword tightly ready to make a move.

Suddenly, a thin bolt of lightning struck Faust on his left shoulder. Faust is surprised as his eyes widen and he falls down on his knees without being able to comprehend what has happened.

”There it is, the lightning gloves!” One of the people in the audience yells loudly.

”God stop this madness! He is totally outmatched.”

”Someone stop this match! He is just a kid! Let him live.”
