Ragna gripped his hammer tighter, eyes locked on his target.

He stomped his foot into the ground hard, a shock wave spread out as he launched forward, spinning in the air and swinging down.

"Arghhhhhhhh!" his voice thundered loud as the hammer came down faster than before.

Raze smiled and then pulled his sword, this time faster than before, meaning he was taking Ragna a little bit more seriously.

CLANG!

Sword and hammer collided, the sound thundered through the air. Both parties were locked for a second, but then Ragna was pushed back. He skidded along the floor until he came to a stop.

He looked up with a look of disbelief on his face, but behind that disbelief was a resolute look.

He glanced at Aren watching the fight. He gritted his teeth. He was not going to allow himself to look weak before Aren.

Raze launched the next attack, his speed was instantaneous, moving in a straight line like a bullet.

CLANG

CLANG

Their weapons collided with a force enough to level a house, both parties moving around the space with precision.

Raze was leading the battle, with precise strikes that came fast as lightning, forcing Ragna into the defensive, using his hammer to block, but having no chances for a counterattack.

Raze saw that if he kept this up, he would get no hits in, so he immediately withdrew, allowing some distance between them, but this action was not the best choice, as in that moment, Ragna launched forward as well.

He swung his hammer down into the ground.

"TREMBLE!" He roared and the ground immediately started shaking incredibly hard, like a pulse was traveling through the ground.

This caused Raze to lose his footing slightly, and that was all Ragna needed, as he chucked his hammer at Raze. The hammer ripped through the air like it was a missile.

Raze, who was still struggling to get his footing, looked up only to be met with a hammer about to slam into him. Very quickly, he lifted his sword and blocked at the last moment.

BAM

The collision sent Raze flying backward, hands spread apart. He looked at Ragna, who was already charging forward.

Ragna called back his hammer as he rushed forward, and the moment the hammer got into his grip, he leaped up into the air, locking his target on Raze.

The air around Ragna rushed like there was a storm, all his muscles flexed hard, veins showing. In his eyes was a massive bull that was raging toward a dragon, horns ready to take down the enemy.

"Arghhhhhhhhh!" His voice thundered as he swung down.

Raze looked up in shock. That attack, he could already feel the weight and it was not even close yet. The attack suppressed his movements, trying to box Raze in.

Raze smiled. "I guess he is pretty strong." He muttered, then gripped his sword.

"Arghhhhhh!" He let out his own roar as he defied the pressure and swung his sword upward, meeting with the hammer.

CLANG!

BOOOOOOOM!

The explosion was massive. The entire throne room trembled. A crater was blown into the ground heavy, dust rose, spreading along with the shock wave. Everyone ducked under their hands.

They all looked up, and inside the dust, they could see explosions happening within it and moving around fast. The two were still going at it extremely hard.

From the dust, Raze flew out backward, his sword gripped in his hands, a smile on his face as he looked at the dust.

"Arghhhhhh!" Ragna came out of the dust midair, already swinging his hammer down.

Raze parried the attack and spun midair before kicking Ragna in the chest, sending him down to the ground. Ragna hit the ground and instantly started running against the backward momentum to rush at Raze.

Raze landed as well, already took a stance. Ragna closed the distance instantly and swung down.

WHOOSH

BAM

Raze blocked again, and in the process saw an opening that he immediately took, slipping under the hammer and going for the slash at Ragna's side.

Ragna quickly stepped back to dodge, but the attack never came, as Raze spun around to the side. Using the base of his sword, he slammed into Ragna's rib, cracking a few and pushing Ragna back.

While Ragna was skidding backward, Raze let go of the sword with his right hand, turned and grabbed it with his left, using the momentum and throwing.

WHOOSH

The sword spun through the air. Ragna could not react as the blade plunged into his shoulder, blood spilling from it like a fountain.

Raze did not give Ragna time to even cry out in pain. He rushed ahead again.

Ragna felt the pain rushing through his body. He gritted his teeth, and using his left hand, he swung his hammer down to hit Raze, but Raze dodged to the side fast, leaped onto his sword that was lodged into Ragna.

He jumped off the sword, flipping and grabbing it and pulling it out. He swung and slashed down, an attack to finish it all. Ragna would not be able to block this at all.

The blade was an inch away from Ragna's neck when it suddenly stopped. Raze was stunned. He was stopped midair. He looked around and saw the butler with his hands extended. He was the one that stopped the fight at that very moment.

"You have won." The butler said, before releasing Raze.

Raze landed on the ground. He did not question the butler. He simply placed his sword back and nodded.

Ragna stood there, still in disbelief that he had lost. He watched Raze walk away, clenching his fist in anger.

One of the maids walked to him, leading him to the side to heal him.

Aren watched the entire fight keenly, and there was something that he noticed. Raze got better the more he fought. Every moment that passed, his technique was getting refined more and more.

'Just what was that, how was he getting better that fast, by the end he was moving like a different person.'

Aren was thinking about it, but then the system came on.

[Your battle starts next]

Aren looked at it, and then looked up to see his opponent.
