Statues

Hephaestus's aura changed significantly.

"You might be the only human in the history of time that made me fight like this. And I am still unsure whether I would beat you. If you survive today, I wish we could meet in person one day in the future."

As he spoke, his hammer came smashing down. Sam tried to meet with the attack with a strike of his own.

*BOOM*

But this time, his usage of force didn't really work out. As soon as the hammers met, Sam felt fire energy and metal energy invading his hammer and before he could react and counter, the hammer already broke down into several pieces.

He looked at Hephaestus in surprise. He hid the thunder prison back in his storage and barely dodged the next swing that came at him.

*BOOM*

The swing landed on the formation behind him. The formation fluctuation like crazy. Sam felt like there is a great chance the formation wouldn't even make it if it takes five more of those hits continuously.
