Sam and Dhar are staring at each other.

Both of them are not ready to make a move first. The tension is building up the auras are clashing as they released their bloodlust.

It is almost like there are two hungry bloodthirsty beasts who are about to start binge eating in the forest. The rest of the people took a step backward involuntarily. They couldn't take the pressure from them.

The barbarians are nervous beyond measure. They never saw Dhar being this tense. Not even once. As for Sam's side, they are relaxed. Everyone except Wembley.

She has a very different understanding of Sam. Everyone who got to know Sam first came to know about his strength. His strength as a fighter, then they knew of his intelligence. But this time, the order was reversed. She saw Sam's presence of mind, his intelligence in different fields. His calm state of my mind.

But she never knew of his battle prowess but she knew of Dhar.

Dhar is a warrior renowned for his battles and victories all over the planet. He is the strongest barbarian of the era and he would stay as such. That is the word amongst all the tribes.

She is clearly nervous for him. Watt put his arm around her so that she could calm down.

As the tensions grew, Dhar is the one who made the first move, with a single kick to the ground he launched himself like a missile and in the blink of an eye he crossed half the distance. This is the same technique he used against his brother.

Sam stood there as he spun his staff with his fingers and waited for the attack and when the punch came straight to his face, he swung his staff towards the fist to block the attack.

He didn't use his full strength, he wants an accurate gauge of Dhar's strength and he was not disappointed. When the hit was connected, Sam skid back because of the force and staff is vibrating leaving a small numbing sensation in his hand.

The strength that was special to the barbarians. Sam is seeing it for the first time.

And this also confirmed another suspicion of his. He knew for a fact that yesterday if not for the presence of injured Dhruv, he wouldn't have had such an easy time.

The situation would have been completely different.

Sam could feel his blood boiling.

He might encounter the same challenge he faced with Sanjay back in the days. This might be a bigger challenge than that.

Sam stabbed the staff into the ground and left it standing right there as he jumped towards Dhar.

They started exchanging punches with pure physical strength.

Dhar has more raw strength, but Sam has precision.

While Dhar's punches are landing on Sam here and there, Sam's every punch is landing on the face, jaw or the chin.

This is almost like a boxing match.

Soon, Dhar realized his mistake. He might land punches, but they are not enough for him to stop Sam and his body can take that.

But his chin wouldn't be able to take the total onslaught.

So, he changed, he kicked the ground and moved backwards as he kicked Sam in torso with another leg.

He took out his spear and launched himself at Sam again. Sam didn't take his own weapon. He caught the staff of the spear and pulled Dhar towards him and kicked him in the shoulder.

Sam's arms turned metallic after that, as he defended against the spear attacks with your hands. He is trying to get near Dhar to hit him, but the spear pulling trick wouldn't work again.

But he didn't stop trying, his metallic arms turned rocky and he manipulated the gravity, he didn't increase it, he decreased it and Dhar who was advancing forward stepped too hard and the reaction made him jump too high.

Sam jumped into the air and his rocky leg kicked Dhar right in the face, but this time he didn't escape scot-free.

Dhar managed to leave a graze on Sam's abdomen, when the coat flapped as he was jumping.

The battle started gaining momentum. After a few more hits, Dhar managed to create a perfect defense and is not taking any more hits, Sam had to change from bare handed fighting to a dagger as he managed to leave a graze on his shoulder.

His body was surrounded with black smoke as he became shadow and started slashing Dhar here and there.

He didn't aim for the critical point and only cared about leaving as many scars as he can.

He made sure that not a single hit missed and the wounds kept on bleeding.

As for why he is not hitting any vitals, it is not because he didn't want to, but Dhar is guarding them closely.

His battle instincts are surreal, he is clearly unable to catch Sam, but he is still able to sense his incoming attacks and Sam couldn't keep this advantage for a long time.

Dhar started taking Kamikaze attacks. Whenever Sam left a slash on his body, he is swing his arm of the spear to that position to get a hold of Sam.

And finally Sam took a hit and the hit shook his liver as he crashed into the ground. He was surprised and when he saw Dhar his surprise turned into shock and shock turned into excitement.

Dhar's muscles are currently tightening and faint vapors could be seen emitting from his body.

"It is indeed my lucky day."

Sam stood up and held the staff while he is still in the ground. His fire and earth elemental energy passed through it as he looked at Dhar who is adjusting with the new transformation as he heard Wembley explaining the state to Watt.

"The true heir of Kala tribe always has this. This is the Barbarian Berserker state. The true reminder and quality of the demonic nature within them. No enemy ever witnessed this lived to tell the tale."

She tightly clutched Watt's arm in tension.

Watt and Sam exchanged eye contact as both of them had a smirk on their faces.

"I guess we are changing the history this time then." Watt said to her with a reassuring smile.

Sam's arm bulged a bit as he pulled the staff out with one arm and along with the staff, a large piece of rock was stuck to it at the extreme end and Sam held the staff like it is a big hammer and smashed that rock on the head of Dhar who is about to move.

The rock cracked and a large amount of lava which is created from molten rock fell all over Dhar.

His hair burned and he became bald.

But his body didn't suffer at all.

His berserker mode gave him a perfect defense.

Sam also didn't expect much from this attack. This lava is not that hot, the main purpose is to serve as a disturbance for the other party, it seems like that is also not possible.

His body started turning golden and he activated partial light elemental fusion.

Both of them looked at dead in the eyes as they moved.

The rest of the spectators couldn't even catch what is happening with their eyes. The spear and the staff collided and the spiritual energy waves caused the surrounding environment to take the brunt.

The rocks are getting crushed, the earth is crashing in several places, the trees are being put through torture as they are split from the top to the roots.

Sam's subordinate guarded Watt and Wembley from feeling the shockwaves.

The battle went on and on and soon the battle spirits are being formed.

Dhar's was like a large muscular ape and Sam's was his own image from the previous life.

They are faint but they could see them.

Soon, both parties connected some deadly hits that even Sam's feather coat couldn't protect him properly.

Both of them spat out blood as they were pushed back.

Sam spat once again and looked at Dhar with an excitement that was never seen before.

"This is the best fight I had in a decade. I respect you."

"This is the best fight I had in this life. I admire you."

"But this needs to end."

Sam said as his body turned into dark grey. He started using partial Spatial element.

Right now this form is his best battle state against a direct opponent.

Sam spun the shaft and blinked from the spot as he used the void style.

He cannot let this drag on anymore and this is the attack that would definitely hurt the other party even with that berserker state.

Dhar started channeling his energy to his heart and the blood pumped faster. His body is emitting spiritual energy fumes.

He held his spear tightly as he looked at Sam. Right now both of them forgot all about the pact and the deal, all they have in mind is to defeat the other party.

Sam blinked and reappeared behind Dhar and swung his staff which the other party barely managed to defend with the spear.

The spear was different from the previous one and it wasn't destroyed by the spatial crack.

But Dhar is not happy. He noticed that the strength difference is a bit too much for him now with Sam in his forms, his defense wouldn't be enough, he wouldn't be able to take too many of these blows.
