Chương 38: Lord Boros's Work Part 2

He ducked under a swing from Lord Blentus, before tackling him, and taking his legs from under him. The room had Celentials and Darkkins, cheering every time they hit. Vidian landed two strikes on Lord Blentus's jaw before getting kicked off. He got up as Lord Blentus began moving faster once more, appearing in positions to strike, tagging Vidian several times before Vidian grabbed hold of one of his strikes and kept him from blinking around. He grabbed him around the waist and flipped him over his head, causing him to land hard on his shoulders. Lord Blentus took the time to attack Vidian again, blinking around him. Vidian ducked under his falling knee strike before hitting his shin in the back of Lord Blentus's head as he tried to recover. Lord Blentus took the blow then got up once more, ignoring it. Vidian blocked a high-kick from Lord Blentus and closed the distance, before striking his head with a forearm across his face. Lord Blentus seemed to speed up more, even leaving afterimages of himself as he blinked around. A strike landed the back of Vidian's head, knocking him down, stunning him. Lord Blentus grabbed his neck and his left arm and hurled him across the ring, towards a corner of the ring. He ran and leapt over Vidian and landed with both his feet on the ropes, with his arms spread out as Vidian tried to recover. He launched himself into the air, into a back flip and then landed on Vidian's back, crashing him to the floor as the crowd cheered. They must have been 100 in the crowd, but the with echo of the room, it seemed as if they were fighting in front of a crowd of thousands. Lord Blentus climbed onto the second rope of the ring and began taunting Vidian with by making the crowd cheer for him. Vidian saw that and charged at Lord Blentus, slamming his forearm into his back and knocking him over the ropes. He decided to fight him at his own game and pulled himself onto the pillar and spread his arms, making the crowd cheer. He smiled and threw himself at Lord Blentus as he got up, tackling him and sending both crashing to the ground. He was tossed aside by Lord Blentus. They got up and squared off in the crowd. Lord Blentus didn't blink around and instead allowed Vidian to try to match him, except, it was more of a match between a nail and a hammer. Every blow Vidian landed lead to a strike hitting him twice as hard, Lord Blentus was even making him back up and fight on his back foot, not letting him close in. Lord Blentus blinked behind Vidian and pulled him back and swung him into the arena once more before blinking to the top of the pillar that was closest to Vidian. Vidian saw this and rolled away from the pillar and stood up as Lord Blentus hopped off of the pillar. Vidian smirked and charged at Lord Blentus, before rolling away from a blinking attack and using all of his power into an uppercut that took Lord Blentus off of his feet, only for him to recover nearly instantly and feel his jaw before spitting and glaring at Vidian. His body gained red markings and his muscles became veiny, he smiled back at Vidian and blinked in front of him before landing a blow right to his guts, folding him in half. Vidian staggered to his feet and Lord Blentus launched another kick towards his head, spinning to hit him harder. Vidian lifted his right arm only for the kick to land on his body, putting him to the ground. He couldn't fight a god, he wasn't made for that, "Come on, do you quit?" Vidian go up, hiding his pain with his left eye trying to see pain in Lord Blentus, but there was nothing, not even a small pain. Lord Blentus appeared behind him and forearmed his head before appearing above him and using his knee to crush him and then appeared in front of him and under hooked his arms and lifted him up and turned him, slamming him down to the floor on his back. Vidian up-kicked him as Lord Blentus tried to strike him once more, stopping him clean. Vidian rolled back and used his legs to bring him down, spiking his head into the ring and then rolling to gain some distance with him. Lord Blentus cracked his neck and snarled at Vidian with his markings glowing brightly. He lunged forwards and tried to grab Vidian, but missed as he ducked out of the way. He kicked him in the leg as he dodged, trying to avoid actually fighting him. Lord Blentus roared at him, seeming more like a creature than a god. Vidian taunted him making the crowd cheer. Lord Blentus lunged forwards and tried to grab him but Vidian blocked his arms with his and had markings of his own, countering Lord Blentus. They were at a deadlock until Vidian moved forwards and kicked Lord Blentus's legs out from under him. He then threw his body at Lord Blentus and tackled him while he was off balance, putting him on the floor. He readied his arm to strike Lord Blentus but he blinked away and appeared on one of the pillars of the arena, without his markings. He hopped down, chuckling, "Vidian, Vidian," Vidian got up and put his arms up defensively, "I won't fight you again, you impressed me, I didn't know a man could achieve so much against a god," Vidian's markings vanished, "You are strong, and I think that I can gladly tell you that you passed my work," He took Vidian by the wrist and lifted his arm in the air as he pointed at him with his right hand and the crowd cheered loudly, "You will have a day of rest, you will need it," Lord Blentus turned his back on Vidian and climbed out of the ring, "I will tell Lord Boros that you have my passed my work," His cloak appeared on him and his hammer floated to place itself on his back, "Kaylyi, get the people out of here and patch him up," She nodded and the people began leaving, still cheering Vidian as he was on one knee, clutching his right side where the kick had landed, wincing in pain after his adrenaline had worn off. He fell on his side and then rolled onto his back as Kaylyi walked into the ring.
