The Adventures of Rose Hood

Chapter 148: An Equal Match

We clashed and it caused a shockwave. Our blows each were meant to kill. My blade against his.

Our speed caused most to lose track of our movement. I struck and struck, and he blocked and blocked. Then the reverse happened.

"Revalations: Hell Spike!"

"Obliviate."

Our blades once again clashed before we leapt back, and he let out his wings and flew into the air, so I did the same.

I leapt up.

"Heh, you are strong, aren't you."

"As are you."

We hovered above all of them.

"I see why Lord Lucifer thinks we can beat that man with you, but still, I'd rather he didn't put so much faith in you."

"Why does he?"

"..."

"You can't tell me?"

"Yes."

"Can't blame you, apparently there is a lot I can't know yet."

"Indeed."

"*sigh* Will I ever find it out?"

"If you survive."

"Wonderful."

Then I charged him again, but he blocked.

"Hell Spike!"

He finally landed the first major blow. My arm was impaled, but I regenerated it before throwing my blade. He also threw his blade. They clashed just like Kratos and Thor. Both imbued with powerful energy. I ran forward and grabbed my blade before slashing at Hades.

He dodged under and grabbed his blade and attempted to cut one of my wings off, but I narrowly dodged.

We clashed again and again. Both of us slowly gained more injuries. Then the turning point happened.

He cut a wing off, destabilizing my flight. I began to fall and he grabbed onto me and started punching.

I was blocking and I pushed back going the slightest bit up, my sword fell, but I was able to draw a bow.

He started diving at me, but I shot and shot. Each arrow hit,

He eventually caught up and started pummeling me again, breaking the bow, but I managed to grab his hand and get behind him.

I grabbed his wings and ripped them off causing him to screech.

We battled more and more, then he caught his sword and stabbed my throat as I reached for mine.

I grabbed his arm and tried to flip us, but he kept me on the bottom.

I finally grabbed my blade and struck at him, but he dodged and used magic to regenerate his wings.

He grabbed me and threw me back into the air.

He dashed up as I angled my blade down in his direction.

""AHHH""

Both of us screamed primally as we both struck.

I stabbed his arm, but he managed to cut my head off.

Using telekinesis, I managed to reconnect before he started cutting my string.

I slowly regenerated my wing, then I dashed him. I slashed his arm and grabbed his head before headbutting, causing him to be stunned for a moment.
