Fallen Moon

Chapter 12: Rise Of A New Heir (Part 02)

The crowd continued to cheer after witnessing Brandon's victory over Fate. They couldn't wait to see the next match. Lord Alexander was even eager to see this match. Angel took his place in the center of the now damaged arena. "Okay," Angel glanced over at Selene who was standing on the left side of the arena. Scythe took his place at the right side. "It's time to begin the next match, are you two ready?"

"Yeah," Selene tightened her hands into fists. "I'm ready." She kept her pale blue eyes focused on Scythe watching his every move.

"I'm ready as well," Scythe took out two of his swords. The tension between them was starting to build. Both of them were eager to prove their skills to each other.

"Alright," Angel placed his bare foot in between them. A curse appeared that would explode after a set time. For some reason, Angel knew the second. That explosion went off, this fight was going to be intense. "On three," He took a deep breath. "One," Selene got in her fighting stance. "Two," Scythe glared into Selene's eyes. "Three, Begin," He jumped back and the explosion went off.

Before Angel could even make it to the stands, Scythe and Selene were already exchanging blows in the smoke. "Whoa," Angel blocked as Selene tossed a vial of her blood at Scythe, detonating it. The explosion was enough to even blast him back. -Damn,-

Angel started coughing being caught up in the smoke. The two of them could at least hold back until he got over to the stands. He performed a high jump up into the stands now able to watch the fight from a safe distance. "Come on, Selene, you got this." His pale hazel eyes watched as Selene rushed through the explosion she made. She tried to punch Scythe. He dodged her fist and countered by slashing her in the stomach. -That's not good.-

Scythe's special ability. He can manipulate anything his blade cuts. It ranges from the wind around him to a person's blood. He just needed one cut and the fight was over. However, Selene's special ability acted as the perfect counter. Scythe was starting to manipulate her blood, before he could Selene's blood exploded knocking him back.

"You're going to need new tricks, Scythe," Selene quickly charged at Scythe. She struck him with a flurry of punches. Scythe was able to dodge her every single one of her punches. He spun his blade in his hand creating a shield of wind that slashed up her fists and forced her back. While she was being forced back, several sharp wind blades were fired off at her like a huge wall. Scythe's speed is incredible, he can cut that fast.

"I've got no choice," Selene stood there overwhelmed by the wall of sharp wind blades. They were quickly approaching her. "I have to dodge it." She ran as fast as she could and jumped out of the way at the last second. The blades hit the wall behind her leaving several deep gashes in it. One hit from that attack could slice her to bits. "Nice move, Scythe, but," Selene reached into her pouch. "You're not the only one with ranged attacks." Selene threw a vial of her blood at him. The vial exploded creating a massive explosion.

Scythe emerged from the wide array of smoke clouds. His body was unscathed and he was already rushing at her at full speed. He was moving so fast Angel's eyes could barely keep up. The number of cuts on Selene's arms while she blocked were growing at rapid speeds. There was nothing she could do to counter him. Scythe is just too fast for her to keep up with.

"He's so fast," Selene kept blocking his cuts. Her pale blue eyes were searching for an opening. Perhaps a pattern to his relentless attacks. She was finally able to stop Scythe's attacks by catching his blade with her forearm. Blood dripped from her arm as she held his sword in place. Scythe went to slash her with his other sword. She spun and kicked Scythe back, quickly stealing his sword after doing so.
