Bab 97: Gorak vs Empyrean

Gorak and Empyrean mounted the battle arena, and the horn was blown to start the battle, to the wild cheering of the entire audience seated in the crowded tournament arena. 

Instantly, Gorak charged at Empyrean like a flaming meteor, enveloped in a ball of volatile energy.

He was giving his all from the get-go, his princely swords, glimmering at their sharp edges. His attack was quick and vicious. Like the attack of someone with a vendetta.

*WHOOSH!*

Empyrean avoided the onslaught very peacefully with a unique footwork, like a Buddhist monk. He was imitating the movement of a peaceful ocean; a move his mother, Keeper of Water, taught him. A rank "4" move a normal rank "3" could never comprehend. He had learned it when he was only rank "2".

His movement was fluid and unpredictable, with his hands held calmly behind his back.

After missing the first strike, Gorak attacked again immediately, reversing his movement with the same speed.
