Chapter 17: Weapons combat challenge 2

He was breathing heavily .... He managed to parry every slash that came toward him.

"How did you do that?" He asked

"Hey, I don't know why you are so weak but I find you enticing, you want to win right?" a voice said in my head. But I sense it come from my blades in my hands...i stared at it with shock.

" Yes" I replied

"Then follow my lead" the voice said

My hands moved .... My right hand raised up while the left went sideways, then with a sharp movement i slashed forward a thin line came out so fast and it hit Travis on his shoulder and stomach it wasn't deep but it stings.

The next thing, I moved from my place and ran towards him i began to slash from side to side when i got close enough, it started as an heavy attack but before it landed on his body i find myself able to reduce the sharpness else his shoulders would have fallen.

He kept screaming and the more I inflict a damage on him the faster I became, it felt like sorcery to me but I didn't stop i continued... He didn't just stand there he threw sharp daggers out of his darkness and swung his whip widely ... But I was still able to dodge every single attack like an expert.

When I didn't sense any movement again i stopped and stared at my opponent who was just standing there without moving with blood dripping out of all the wounds on his body, the floor was also dyed red with his blood he collapsed and lost consciousness. I immediately ran to him and shouted his name

"Travis! Hey! Wake up!

I shouted repeatedly while shaking him. I already dropped my weapon but there was no response

" Quick get the healers to attend to the Boy on the ground " one of the supervisors said with a loud voice . The healers rushed in and carried him away while i knelt there staring at my hands.

"Take him also and heal him" the same supervisor said

Ping! ( Bright wins)

The holographic screen displayed ...

Everywhere was silent as i left the stage and i followed the healers while my weapon was taken to be examined.

"Strange" a man with a black outfit and a black eye glass exclaimed

" How is it. It doesn't exclude any aura or energy " another man said

"Place it in the energy detecter let's see it's readings " the man with glasses ordered

" Okay sir" the second man replied

" ( Energy detector)"

" ( Scanning) "

" ( Dual weapon ) "

"( Energy reading ... No result)"

"How come there is not even an iota of energy" ..... "How is that even possible?!" The man exclaimed with a surprised look . "or is this machine damaged!"

He rechecked and confirmed that the machine is perfectly working

" Return this weapon to the boy and keep an eye on him " the man with the black outfit ordered.

The screen then displayed the next contestants

( Anthony Vs Joshua)

They stepped on the stage and stared at each other before performing a light bow.

(FIGHT)

Anthony quickly jumped into a battle stance while wielding his long sword. Joshua on the other hand just stood there while inspecting his opponent .

He isn't from the combat department, so he didn't wield any weapon .... He stretched his hand forward and a blade made out of Wind appeared on his hands, he gripped it and charged forward at Anthony

Anthony braced himself for the imminent clash but nothing happened..... He suddenly felt a sharp pain through his back and immediately swung his long sword backward but it hit nothing ..... Another pain ran through his head then pain after pain shot through his head and destabilize him.

"Is this how pathetic you guys are ?" Joshua said with a disdainful look

"Fuck you!" Anthony screamed before erupting in flames pushing Joshua a few feet back.

He stared at Joshua with a murderous gaze and swung his sword diagonally .... A sword coupled with flames shot forward and launched at Joshua who also slashed his sword forward releasing a slash coupled with wind .
