Endolf vs Silver Fox [Ability training included]

Silver Fox:

Endolf could hear the roars of the crowds out in the arena once more as he awaited his moment to walk back out into combat. His last display in the coliseum had left the audience in an awed mix of emotions, in more ways than one. This time he had plans to stun them even more. Adorning his left hand and covering up his arm up to his elbow was a gauntlet made of gleaming golden metals and cloth the color of the sea. He had stumbled upon the item in the marketplace and wasted no time purchasing it once he was told what it was capable of doing. He continued to stare at his new treasure, clenching and unclenching his armored fingers, and contemplated how much he should use the tool for this match. He had to suppose he would only be able to figure that out once he had taken the stage and found out the abilities of the person he would be facing that day.

Finally the time came and Endolf found himself walking through the arena gates once more only for them to close behind him right after, preventing him from being able to leave until the fight was over. Exactly the same as his previous fight had. In the center of the arena stood a rather busty woman in a ridiculously skimpy outfit that seemed to only hide what was deemed necessary. Just as he was doing it seemed the woman had been busy sizing him up as well. The young Fanalis didn’t mind it in any way. Being smaller and having less visible muscle than most of the men of his race had given him the edge often.

Unknown to Endolf there was another person devoting their full attention to him as well. Up in the area the nobles were allowed to watch privately in their own luxurious comfort. While this would normally be true the person residing in the noble’s area was there for anything but luxury or comfort. He looked down at Endolf with great interest, keeping an eye on him the whole time even once the battle between the two combatants began.

“I knew that murderer would be back.”

Back down in the arena Endolf found himself dodging a set of large metal orbs by continuing to hop back to avoid her rapid spinning. He decided now would be the time to begin putting his new toy to use and held his left hand out towards his side, the magic circle on his palm glowing a tranquil blue color. Water bubbled up from the circle until his fingers gripped around what could only be described as a Whip of Water that seemed to coil down at his feet. The whip’s overall length was a good ten meters and with it the Fanalis lashed out at his opponent who, by this point, had stopped her spinning. Almost like she had been on reflex the woman took her fan and attempted to Parry away the whip which only left her splashing herself with water.

Following up Endolf whipped his sword towards her three times performing his Delta Strike technique. Each strike of his sword bit into her exposed flesh leaving lines of crimson blood that trailed down her smooth skin. First strike went to him but he couldn’t take the time to enjoy it. Now was the time when he had to keep the pressure up on her.

Silver Fox found herself striking against a barrier of pure water emitted from the palm of Endolf’s gauntlet, the liquid surrounding him in a tight dome that gave him enough room to move but took up the minimum of area around him. Around them the crowd was erupting in excitement at the display the two were putting on, the dancing between the two combatants in their attempts to damage the other. So far Endolf had done the better of the two by not only having avoided her attacks but also being the first one to cause damage to his opponent. Taking the opportunity while he held his barrier up around him he shifted the grip of his weapon once more. It was an aspect of his fighting style that he was beginning to reconsider.

‘Maybe I should work on that after this is over.’

Gripping his weapon by the handle once again he prepared to attack, waiting for the right moment to lower his barrier. That moment came when he was able to lunge forward and stab his weapon into the woman’s abs. Several issues presented themselves from this act however, including the fact that Endolf’s weapon didn’t seem to have been forged for thrusting or stabbing as much as it was for cutting and was only able to cut away at the cloth that kept the woman’s garments bound around her waist and into her flesh when he sliced the sword away on the retreat. Another note made about how he’d need to correct his style of fighting once this match was over. For the moment he simply allowed his hand to slip from the handle of his sword and catch it by the strap once again. Immediately he began to transition into his Sphere of Swords technique, swinging the blade around him as fast and hard as he could in order to allow the edge to bite down into the woman’s exposed flesh numerous times. What really clinched it for the young Fanalis boy was when his sword, swung wildly, managed to catch the woman’s jugular by the corner of the razor sharp edges.

His swinging stopped as the once beautiful woman dropped into a heap of bloody flesh, much like his previous opponent Gianna. However this time he had seemed to avoid being bathed in the crimson liquid like last time. Another arena fight, another life he had claimed.
