BLOOD SHED(gxg)

BS 6

I stepped backwards and catches my breathe but he didn't give me a full 10 seconds of catching my breath before he attacked me again with the same position of his swords and the foreign words and the annoying laughs.

I bit my inner cheek at the frustration building up. He was going forward while I stepped backward still composing and catching my breathes and a few seconds for now I would be cornered by him on the wall.

I looked for a way and my eyes caught me his hand with a sword on his back for an opening or way out but my eyes sting as I looked at that way. I heard him laughed more and eventually grazed my arm.

I did my all will to get out of his grip and fortunately I got out and made a big gap from us. I winced at the now bloodied wound on my right arm. I'm a bit relief its not my left arm since I'm a lefty and where my power and grip held more.

I focus for an opening and observed him but as I was about to my eyes sting again. I tried to search it but my eyes sting again but I slightly caught of something. His using his left hand and sword to blind me by the reflection from the sun. He had used it against me now not only once nor twice but trice now.

I focus again and searched my mind for something. I had read all the books in Master Lars library and remembered that his such a book maniac such as myself searching for more knowledge and not I read one of the foreign words he was saying. Its not Islarian, Ehyptian, Grook, nor Romenian language and it just plainly doesn't make a sense.

"Duck!"

'Duck'. My eyes widen at the idea and realization in my head. I don't even need to glance at who shouted that and focused on my opponent with a smile.

A distraction. I run towards him and attempted to slash through his opened waist where the body armor didn't fully covered but unfortunately he depleted and stumbled back and caught him off guard. My chance.

I kicked the sword on his back and it went flying at the far end of the arena and with full speed swing my sword through his waist and successfully slice through it as blood gushed out.

I immediately held my sword back before I could cut some vital organ or signs inside him. I swung my sword to the side forcedly to disposed of the fresh blood, the same time he fall down on the cold ground and the roaring of the audience that sends me more adrenaline rush inside.

It was a sight feeling and I can't helped but smile at the crowd. As the announcer announces the victors I saw Master Lars and the triplets waving at my direction which I nodded with a smile even the helmet almost covered all my face.

I felt someone staring at me at the side and it was Hector who was grinning evilly. He was exempted on the next round for the next round. I looked at my other side to see the smiling hook man. My next opponent before I faced Hector head on.

"Now his Majesty the King wants to say something", the announcer announces as all our eyes landed on the King's seat above the arena with the Queen and the princess.

I blinked twice as I stared, more like gawked at the princess of its beauty. I never seen such beauty my entire life. The last time I've heard about the princess was years ago before I isolated myself in training regiment.

" I hereby congratulate the remaining two great gladiators who has a chance to fight the current champion or even...can defeat him",the King said but I can till his eyeing me with his observant eyes which unexpectedly makes me a bit nervous.

"That is all", he then sat down on his thrown.

I was about to walked back to the shed to again heal my wound when we heard a scream of pain and a loud thud on the ground. The whole arena was left with loud gasped and shocked face as the current champion killed the man with hook who was now lying bloody dead on the ground.
