SACRIFICE TO THE MOON (Completed) #Wattys2020

CHAPTER 26

    Waya knew they were skilled fighters, if he allowed the fight to go on their terms he would lose,
    So ran to meet them. flipped above them and slashed his sword at Amykos but the Lord of the Leqie was too skilled for he intercepted the blow with his sword resulting in an extremely loud clang.  
    Waya landed almost noiselessly on the sandy ground and mentally prepared himself for the onslaught from three demi-gods.
      Freya was no Sloth when it came to fighting but neither was the demi-god who furiously attacked her.
    His swordsmanship was too notch and Freya despite all her military experience was struggling to find any deficiencies in his attacks.
    She smashed her dagger against his blade with all the might but the demi-god seemed unfazed.
     Undeterred, Freya unleased series of on the demi-god but each strike collided with a perfect block.
     She was too busy dishing out strikes that she failed to see the demi-gods hand recoil.
   She only felt sharp pain when the demi-god fiercely slapped her across the face sending her to the ground in a haze.
   Powerful and skillful as Waya was, against three demi-gods, the caliber of Amykos and his children,he was at a great disadvantage.
      He dished whatever blow he could and dodged what he could. His body was adorned with cuts and blood poured from all over his body.
   It then occurred to him that he couldn't out fight three of them with a sword.
    Without thinking it through, he dropped his blade.
  Amykos and his two sons assessed the situation then, just as Waya hoped, they followed suit.
   Amykos' first son leaped forward with his fist ready to strike. Waya intercepted the blow with his palm but the force of the blow pushed him backwards.
     Immediately, Amykos' second son somersaulted close to Waya and delivered a beautiful back kick to the prince of the moon.
     They were just too skilled and powerful to fight three on one, so Waya did the only logical thing he could, he ran.
   The three demi-gods chased Waya fiercely. Waya led the trio to the rooftops, Amykos recognized the strategy and ordered his children to withdraw from chasing after Waya.
     His first son heeded the order but his second son was bloodthirsty for proceeded to  follow Waya up the roof.
    Poseidon's grandson leaped into the air and performed a picture perfect triple kick to which Waya blocked by crossing his hands across his chest.
    As the demi-god was about to land, Waya reached out and grabbed his neck, with a grunt he jerked his neck thereby breaking it and killing the demi-god almost instantly.
    If Amykos was enraged over the death of his son, he did nothing to show it.
      He and his first son leaped unto the rooftop simultaneously. The moment they did, Waya performed a somersault off the rooftop and landed gracefully on the ground.
      He proceeded to run as fast as his legs could carry him.
    "Do not be rash" Amykos instructed his son as they hotly chased Waya.
