Corrupted soul

Face to face meeting with a goddess (3/3)

As the excitement from the previous match between Aurora and Jack lingered in the air two boys went onto the small stage. Kenta who stood in the distant observed their appearance with slightly narrowed eyes. A black-haired boy wearing a robe with various ornaments as decoration while holding a sword.

'That guy he seems rather experience.' Kenta thought, the black-haired boy was exuding the aura of a warrior. However, considering the fact that Kenta could sense his aura meant that their strength wasn't that far apart. However, Kenta turned his eyes towards his opponent.

Once Kenta observed his appearance, he couldn't help but frown. The young youth had slightly long white hair and wore an eyepatch around his head. Only one of his beautiful black eyes were visible, However, what mostly caught Kenta's attention was that he was completely unarmed.

"Th-That guy, is he planning on fighting barehanded?" Kenta questioned Leo who stood behind him, curiously. "Hm, oh you don't know." Leo smiled wryly as he explained. Leo then glanced at the white-haired youth and spoke. "He never used any weapons, he always won all of his battles with his fist... we still don't know a lot about his background." Kenta narrowed his eyes as he observed the white-haired youth in interest.

"I see. For now, can you tell me his name?" Kenta inquired; Leo was confused about Kenta's sudden interest in the white-haired youth but answered anyway. "His name is Ezekiel... oh and his opponent is called, Axel." Leo answered. "Ezekiel... I see." Kenta nodded his head as he memorized the name. Meanwhile, the battle between Ezekiel and Axel was now commencing. "Begin!" Erin said as he raised his hand.

Swoosh!

Once the signal of the match was given Axel closed the distance between them and swung his sword vertically. However, Ezekial skillfully moved his body out of the trajectory of the blade and landed a powerful blow to Axel's stomach. "Gouhf." Axel's body was blown away by the powerful punch to his stomach and stumbled onto his feet.

His graceful movement fell as he tried to take a stance with his sword. "Oh, his physical attacks seem rather impressive." Kenta commented as he observed their match. "Yeah, I heard he trained his body daily, so his body is really resilient against rough attacks." Leo explained. "Trained his body. uh, I wonder how I would fair against him." A grin appeared on Kenta's face as a thought came to his head.

Meanwhile, the battle between Ezekial and Axel continued. Axel continued swinging his sword to land a clean blow onto Ezekial's body. But Ezekial nonchalantly deflected his blade with the back of his hand. "Tch, take this!" Axel swung his sword horizontally creating a slash of light. However, Ezekial clenched his fist and charged towards the slash of light.

"Th-This guy, is he crazy?!" Seeing Ezekial attacking instead of trying to evade Axel questioned his sanity. Even Kenta couldn't help but question what was going on in Ezekial's head. 'Even for me, evading would be the best option in that situation.' Kenta thought, he wasn't a god, nor was he invincible. Kenta knew that a single mistake could end in his death which is why he is always cautious even while going against those weaker than him.

The spectators all held their breath as they watched Ezekial charging towards the slash of light. Aurora observed the fight closely as she sat down in the back. "Seems like this match was a waste of time." She said with disinterest.

All the woman around her thought she was talking about Ezekial. However, Aurora's silver eyes were looking at Axel with pity. Unlike everyone else here she knew exactly how strong Ezekial was and never doubted his victory.

Once Ezekial closed the distance, he swung his fist forward connecting with the slash of light!

BOOOOOM!
