Julius and Theo's weapons clashed as the surroundings broke due to the strength of the impact, leaving dust and smoke in the area. Theo calmly looked around for the assassin, but he tracked where he was.
"That technique of his, it's quite annoying," Theo said as he parries the spearman's attacks with his shield repetitively before horizontally cutting his neck off his head, when, unexpectedly, Julius's body disintegrates into dark shadows, annoying Theo even more.
"What? You thought an attack like this would finish me off?" could be heard as his voice echoed in the pale corridors. The warrior knew Julius was near, but couldn't tell where.
Julius then cut Theo on his left arm, then right, then his left again. Although he reacted quickly, he couldn't pinpoint where the man exactly was.
Tsk.
"Concentrate, he doesn't seem to be a mage, so he cannot do something I cannot handle with my sword." He thought as he calmed himself before holding his sword firmly and walking forward, out of the white corridor to a more open paper-white field and multiple pillars.
"I can feel his presence..."
The man looked around for him, but after all, he couldn't see him, as he was hiding in the dark areas of his surroundings; he could be anywhere, in the shadow of one of the pillars or even in his own shadow. Theo concentrated his energy on his sword, which made Julius wonder what he was planning to do as he watched him from afar.
"Don't tell me he's planning to destroy the place in an attempt to locate me."
Heh.
"Does he not know I'm hiding within the shadows?"
...
"Wait, what's up with his sword?" Julius asked himself as Theo's sword shone incredibly bright, his aura becoming so great that Julius could feel his pressure from where he was.
"Why is he unleashing so much energy? Wouldn't that be wasting..."
!!!
Suddenly, Theo's head tilted, looking directly at Julius, swinging his blade towards his direction, releasing a wide arc of white energy.
[AIR SPLITER]!
He saw it, but before he could react to the attack, his vision went black, and the next thing he woke up on the ground of the arena.
Julius stood silent for a few seconds before letting out a single word.
"Fuck."
