37 Test Begins! (2/2)
”Alright kid, you heard the guild master, I will be conducting your test today and it will be a combat-based test. Follow us to the back where we have a small arena.” Gorg now turning back to Leo said without wasting any time.
As Gorg walked out of the hall, every single member that was present followed him. They did not want to miss this possible show! Without wasting any time, Leo quickly followed everyone as he arrived at an arena. Gorg gestured Leo to walk and meet him in the arena as the members of the guild made their way to the bleachers.
”Alright kid, as I mentioned, I will not be taking it easy on you. This test is a fight to the death and if you are unable to protect yourself, you will fail!” Gorg shouted out for everyone to hear as he pulled out his flail. Showing how carefree he was and how Leo was not a threat to him, Gorg showed off some simple swings as the flail's chains extended little by little.
”That flail is not very simple.” Leo thought as he let Gorg continue.
”Hey kid, draw your weapon before I kill you with a single strike. I am only a single step away from reaching the executive level and I can freely extend my flail's range using my water elemental affinity. This type of power is not something that you can compete with barehandedly!” Gorg told Leo as he allowed his flail to create a small crater within the floor of the arena.
”Are you finished talking?” asked Leo as he sprinted towards Gorg filled with energy and his own killing intent.
”Fine, just know that I warned you!” swinging his flail towards Leo, Gorg tried to wrap the chains around him into a trap. However, Leo quickly created two after images before crouching out of the flail's range.
Passing the after images, Gorg's flail started to use the power of the water element to shift its direction. The flail was now in midair and was falling towards Leo's position like a meteorite crashing into the earth. The force of the flail itself caused the onlookers to sweat.
”My move is far from over!” Gorg yelled out as Leo finally drew his sword! Leo, however, was too late and the chains of the flail started to wrap around him. Luckily, his sword was able to block the flail from hitting him in his head, but he was now trapped.
The next moment surprised everyone present. It turns out that Leo originally created two after images but also, a clone! The strength of Gorg's flail was enough to strangle the clone, but Leo was casually standing in his original position, as if he never even moved the whole time!
”That technique seems familiar. Too bad for you, every time you create a clone, it takes quite a bit of power away. Let's see just how long you can keep such a strategy up for!” now laughing from embarrassment of being fooled by Leo, Gorg was now past his limit for his anger.
Before Gorg made his next move, a sword was pointing under Gorg's neck. However, he only snickered as he sent out a fast kick what seemed to be just in the air where no one was. At this moment, Leo's body was seen on the floor several feet away from Gorg's position as he coughed a mouthful of blood.
”A technique like that will never work on someone who is stronger than you. Only those who are much weaker than you will not feel your killing intent while using such a sinister technique!”
Feeling a little helpless now, Leo used his sword to lift himself off the ground as he faced Gorg. Leo thought that some of the techniques he picked up from the Mist household's inheritance, would have been more than enough for him to deal with Gorg. Now, that seemed like foolish thinking as his attacks only made him angrier!
