" Fight me ". He said.
' —— '
[ " Such a battle maniac. Should've expected that " ]. Elyon commented. Knowing something like this would happen.
" Well I thought you'd never ask ". Eden replied casually as he took of his cloak.
The resident 'parasite' sighed dejectedly and spoke again. [ " Of course you'll agree. You are as much a maniac as he is " ]. Trying to get a reaction out of the ever stoic Eden.
But Eden ignored him, focusing on his soon to be opponent. Then he asked a question that had been on his mind for quite sometime.
" Wait, weren't you supposed to be like way stronger than me?". Eden remarked with a narrowed gaze. Atticus replied. A playful smirk on his face."Thought you knew everything?. Well I was sealed at a pretty young age,the seal froze my time as well, so technically we should be around the same age and tier. He concluded.
" Oh...okay ". Eden replied casually. But deep down he was stunned. Because none of this was mentioned in the game.
[ " You could have just appraised him but no, someone's too proud to appraise someone without their consent " ]. Elyon remarked dryly. You could almost see him rolling his eyes.
' Calm down drama queen. Trying to build trust here,beyond a contract. Now it wouldn't look good if I just appraised him now. Would it? '. Eden retorted. Given a sound reason knowing fully well that he wouldn't hesitate to,if it were an enemy.
" Haaa. Let's just get this over with. A lot to do in so little time ". He added as he watched the reddish-purple haired but extremely bulked up teen stretch. " Of course,of course, but fair warning. Although we may be in the same realm....
.... I am a little bit stronger than most ". Atticus said. His voice ice cold as he suddenly vanished. Appearing in front of Eden. Compressed Reddish-purple mana swirling around his enclosed fist.
/ CATACLYSMIC FIST /
**BOOOOMMM !!! **
His massive fist descended with vicious intent. As it slammed into the ground,where Eden had just been. The impact caused a mini crater to form at the same time kicking up a cloud of dust.
" You evaded that huh. Of course. Someone with such grand aspirations should at least be capable of such ". Atticus remarked with a cheeky smile. Seemingly pleased with himself as he glanced towards Eden.
Eden looked relatively untouched as he appeared quiet a distance away from the crater. Dusting off imaginary dust with a casual look on his face.
" You have quiet the fire power. He said calmly. Dusting diligently. "Let's see how you can draw out. I sincerely hope you don't die ". He said coldly. As he got into a stance. Then he punched forward.
Atticus's purple eyes narrowed into pinpricks. He didn't see it but he felt something was wrong. Then he felt it. A massive force crashed against his chest sending him flying through the air.
He flipped and landed on his feet as he touched his chest. ' Such power. Gravity?. Let's see what else he can do '. He said to himself.
He let out a grunt. As he engulfed himself in Purple flames that promised destruction and ran towards the red haired teenager at frightening speed.
Eden prepared himself for the clash. Purple mana erupted around him forming a thin barrier.
Atticus appeared in front of him. Swinging his massive fist. Coated with his special fire towards Eden's head. But his fist met nothing but air.
Eden ducked underneath his outstretched arm. Formed a ball of Crimson Lightning compressed to the limit within his palm and slammed it into the guy of the Barbarian.
But before it could land, the markings around his torso shone with an eerie light. Absorbing the impact. Leaving him relatively unharmed.
He retracted his arm as the fire intensified. Coating his entire arm now as he brought his elbow down. But Eden simply teleported away. Effortlessly evading what would have caused a lot of damage.
He appeared behind Atticus eyes glowing amethyst. Atticus noticed this movement tried to turn around but Eden reacted faster than he could move.
/ SPATIAL LOCK /
Eden called out coldly. Effectively freezing him in space for a few seconds as he charged up his next attack.
/ CRIMSON EVENT HORIZON /
A massive shockwave hit the battlefield. As Atticus was blasted away by Eden's Destruction Lightning attack.
Atticus crashed quite a distance away. Blood pouring from the fist sized wound that stretched from his back to his stomach.
Seeing this with his enhanced vision Eden spoke for the first time in quite a while.
" I think I over did it ". He remarked. Not even a glimpse of remorse on his face.
[" You think? "]. Elyon ever ready to point out his shortcomings retorted with a quiet humph.
Before Eden could think of a come-back he was interrupted by the unsettling laugh of his opponent.
" Ha ha ha ha ha. You aren't quite normal are you huh. To bypass my race's defensive runes. Scary ". The barbarian or rather Nexarii said with a psychotic laugh. As blood continued to pour out of his wound and mouth.
" Well this is going to be fun ". He remarked. A distorted smirk on his face.
/ BLOOD RECALL /
As he activated this skill the blood from his wound immediately started flowing back. As he regenerated in the blink of an eye.
But he wasn't done. Not quite. He lifted his arm slowly towards the sky and said. Infusing magic into his words. A magic circles formed above his head.
/ BLOOD MAGIC : FINAL BLOODSTORM /
The effect was instantaneous as hundreds of blood weapons formed in the sky and started falling towards Eden.
" Well shit ". Eden cursed bitterly.
