Arrovon’s Technique

"Ha!"

Arrovon used the pole as balance as he kicked Travis with his two legs. Travis was forced a step back from the recoil.

Arrovon landed and twirled his pole, he then used it like a spear and began stabbing Travis repeatedly. Travis dodged many of the attacks, while blocking others. However it was difficult to counter the other attacks.

Arrovon twirled his pole and struck Travis in his ribs. Travis recoiled from the impact and spat blood. The way Arrovon fought was incredibly odd. Every move he did seemed to replay in an afterimage, throwing Travis off his tempo.

His HP was going lower, he couldn't keep receiving hits like this. Travis focused his other senses, his sight was misleading. He would need to rid himself of it.

His eyes dimmed, they seemed lifeless. Arrovon noticed this and taunted, "Given up? Oh well, anyone would in front of this great one!"

Arrovon did a set of complicated strikes, intending to finish off Travis.

Clang~

Travis stopped a strike by knocking away its path. His strength could compete with this boss, so this wasn't impossible. Arrovon's eyes widened, "You haven't given up! Very well then, let this one teach you the meaning of despair!"

Travis swung forward, Arrovon dodged to the side and swung his pole to Travis' exposed side. Travis' sword flickered and deflected the strike. He then aimed a strike for Arrovon's neck.

Arrovon leaned back, the blade barely missing. Knocking away the sword with his pole he began to do another series of stabs, "[Muteki Pole Style: Thirteen Awakening Strikes]!"

Thirteen afterimages of the weapon flashed and moved towards Travis. Unable to dodge he guarded himself as best as possible. All thirteen of the strikes hit him, making him slide back. Undeterred he threw his three shurikens towards Arrovon.

Arrovon knocked them away one by one, however on the last he missed. Because the shuriken stopped midair! Travis triggered a [Mark Of Pause] on the shuriken. Arrovon missed and threw him off slightly. It was at this moment Travis appeared in front of him! Travis swung downwards and sliced the chest of Arrovon. He grunted in pain and retreated, bleeding heavily.

This was done with a [Mark of Return] that he placed on the shuriken as it traveled. Arrovon took a deep breath, his gaze sharpened and he looked more dangerous, "I underestimated you, this will not happen again."

Dong~

Travis was sent flying back, he flipped midair and slid to a stop. He was thoroughly shocked, what had happened?

Arrovon stood there unmoving, "Come, you shall see the difference in our strength."

Travis stood straight, he adjusted his sword and focused. Losing was not an option.

Boom-!

Travis took off, his speed was incredible. He arrived in front of Arrovon in less than a second. Arrovon reacted calmly, in a smooth motion his pole was just about to hit Travis. Travis barely dodged and swung to retaliate. Arrovon deflect the blow and aimed a stab towards Travis' face.

Travis caught the pole with his free hand, gripping it tightly. Arrovon stared coldly, "Unhand it."

Travis gave a painful laugh, "Or what?"

"Unhand it! Your measly hands aren't worthy!"

The pole was wrenched free, Arrovon twirled it and smashed it into Travis' jaw. Travis was lifted off the ground from the strike, Arrovon followed through by landing a blow on his stomach.

Travis was sent flying across the arena and crashed into the wall, his HP dropped dramatically. Leaving Travis with only 30% left. Travis coughed blood and struggled to feed himself. Arrovon watched him coldly, "Death will be an escape for what I should do. You dared touch this weapon. You have no idea..."

Travis waited, time was what he needed. It had started, [Averoth's Lust for Battle] had begun. The skill did more than just improve, there was unwritten effects alongside the skill. He felt the crazed want for battle, his adrenaline was pumping, his heart rate accelerating. This was a battle, this was a challenge!

Arrovon yelled in anger, "You have no idea what you just did!"

BOOM-!!

The pole shot forward a large shockwave followed. The ground was torn apart as the shockwave moved. Travis lifted his sword to guard as it slammed into him. Even though he blocked his health dropped an additional 10%! It may have dropped even lower if not for his cloaks abilities. His immunity to damage for three seconds will not last, but he had an additional 50% in agility!

Travis freed himself and dashed forward, with his ridiculous stats 50% was an incredible amount! His sword became near impossible to see as he unleashed a flurry of strikes towards Arrovon. Yet they managed to block all of the attacks! Arrovon noticed the shocking increase of speed. Along side of that he noticed another important factor, "He's getting stronger?!"

Sparks showered the arena, several exchanges happened every second. Every strike blocked, ever counterattack thwarted. Ever second the speed of the exchanges grew. Arrovon noticed that the increase wasn't stopping, "This is dangerous!"

Yet he couldn't stop! The moment he tried to do anything else outside the flow of combat... he would get struck! This continued for two minutes, Arrovon grit his teeth and gambled. He needed to escape this!

"Enough!"

He slammed his pole on the ground and a shockwave was released. Travis slid backwards, unable to retaliate. Arrovon praised, "You're something else, to be able to fight to such a degree-!"

Dang~!

Travis attacked, normally he would have let Arrovon speak to increase his buff further. However he was thrilled with the battle, how much further can he go?!

"You. . . !"

Arrovon unleashed thirteen afterimages, "[Muteki Pole Style: Thirteen Awakening Strikes]!"

Unlike last time, Travis deflected every strike! Arrovon grew frustrated, "I am the Muteki Clan's last survivor! I will ascend above! You will not stop me!"

Arrovon grew stronger and faster, and they once again clashed with furious strikes.

Flinnder had an uncontrollable smile. This fight! This is what he needed! The strongest one standing! Unlock every hidden strength possible! Fight until the very end!

In fact, Flinnder wasn't the only one watching. . .

~ ~ ~

"This fight!"

The developers! They were watching as well! One of them was monitoring the actions of Two Tries when he noticed this fight. Once he saw who the opponent was he immediately called for everyone. If Two Tries was really obtaining info, then they should know the secret way to end this fight. If not then they could die and lose the entire account!

However neither was happening, it was a fight until the end! The speed of the battle grew so intense that none of the developers could see the strikes. Instead it was a flurry of sparks and sounds.

This was what they were excited for! A battle of tyrants! When the powerful battle! Everyone's breath was held still as they watched.

Desk Guy also watched, his heart racing. This was for two reasons, the fight excited him. However the main reason was a thought that circulated in his head. . .

'How would the slime compete against this?!'

~ ~ ~

Another minute!

Travis failed to stop growing stronger, this worried Arrovon. How much further can he go?

Travis was too excited, this speed! This strength! Had he obtained this in the past he wouldn't have had to worry about being backstabbed! He was the best! He would be the best! And he would go even further!

Another minute. . .

Sweat formed in large amounts, Arrovon's concentration could be compared to that of when he fought Lord Flinnder. Travis wasn't stopping, he grew stronger! What was the limit? Was there a limit?

Travis speed was so fast he began putting more movements into his strikes. Moving side to side as he threw strikes, attacking from more angles.

Ten Seconds have passed...

Travis managed to land a thin cut on Arrovon's cheek. Arrovon began to use even more movements in his own attacks. Attempting to thwart Travis' own.

Twenty seconds have passed...

The two clashed weapons and had a minor strength contest. Pushing against each other's weapon. This happened only for a second before they continued with the fight.

Thirty seconds have passed.

Travis began to gain an advantage in speed. His attacks were faster by just a bit.

One minute has passed. . .

The limit was reached! However Travis' was stronger than Arrovon! Every attack that was blocked was forced back a little. Arrovon grit his teeth, he had no choice!

BOOOM-!

Arrovon unleashed a brilliant yellow light that pushed Travis back. As Arrovon was shrouded by the light he yelled, "You shall be the second to ever witness this!"

The light faded and Travis was shocked upon Arrovon's appearance. A golden Kasaya was on his body. However what took Travis' attention was what was on Arrovon's head! An intricate golden fillet encased on his forehead. His pole changed designs as well, following the color scheme.

Travis had seen this before, just never on a BOSS.

This was the Berserk skill based on Sun Wukong!
