Chapter 11 Landon's Aura

Landon zoomed around the battle arena with incredible speed his whole body reduced to a blur as he moved around the battle arena, Aiden could not keep track of his movements, he didn't have a particular pattern and he was incredibly fast.

Landon smacked his back as he ran by, pushing Aiden forward a bit, the hits kept on coming he felt pain in his hands, legs, back but there wasn't much he could do as Landon wasn't even slowing down.

"Dammit if he keeps this up he'll wear me out and..." Aiden felt another assault from his back "What do I do ? I can't punch what I can't see, do I use Silver Bullet no I'll just wear myself out I can't punch what I can't see" Aiden panicked inwardly as he tilted his body from left to right trying to keep up with Landon, immediately his eyes lit up with intuition as an idea flashed into his head "That's it I know what I have to punch".

Aiden elevated his arm into the air but his fist pointing down on the ground, using all the muscles in his body he sent his fist flying towards the ground, his fist connected fiercely with the hard concrete immediately the metal braces on his arm jolted into motion with a metallic clang, and in a flash a second impact activated completely shattering the concrete beneath his fist, the Earth shook violently, students in the arena stand could feel the uneasy vibration, the vibration made Landon lose his balance and with the momentum of his speed he crashed onto the floor, his lifeless form slid across the hard concrete before coming to a halt.

Without hesitating Aiden blasted himself towards Landon readying his fist for another punch, Landon hurriedly stood up using both his wings to shield his body, Aiden's right fist connected fiercely with the wings, the devastating force of the second impact blasted both his wings backwards leaving Landon completely open.

Without wasting a second Aiden's left struck Landon's gut the first impact jerking Landon's head forward, the second impact immediately activated sending Landon flying, with sharp precision and motion the braces on both his arms split apart releasing a burst of steam that hissed into the air like a pressure valve unleashed.

Landon undeterred to win the match raised himself up from the ground his wings snapped backwards immediately he slammed his wings shut unleashing a thunderclap of air with Aiden's vision distorted Landon exploded into motion heading straight for Aiden, he reached his destination in a flash he swung his blade towards Aiden with precision and focus.

With swift reflexes and turn Aiden launched his fist straight towards the blade completely ignoring the effect it'd have on his hand, Landon's blade and Aiden's fist clashed against each other with brute force, the immediate second impact from Aiden sent the blade backwards flying out of Landon's grip, with that problem dealt with his focus came back to Landon.

Aiden twisted in mid-air with lightning-quick reflexes, his left leg extending in a blur of motion, striking Landon's chest with a sickening thud, the second impact as devastating and painful as ever, Landon went flying backwards his motionless figure bouncing against the hard concrete over and over again until finally he came to a halt.

"Am not falling for the same trick again" Aiden's voice reverberates throughout the arena, Aiden's still held his fist tightly blood slowly rolled off his fingers, Landon was completely messed up his clothes roughed up badly, the arrogant demeanor on his face completely shattered now replaced with frustration.

A heinous grin slowly spread across his face, using his right palm he brushed the left part of his face upwards removing the lock of hair that covered his left eye, exposing his entire face, he was the same person but without the lock of hair that covered his left eye he looked completely different the color of his left eye was different than that of his right, it was dark black like the color of his blade unlike his intense right eye with brown coloration.

The contrasting look on his face from the different eye colors twisted the insides of Aiden's gut as he felt the change in aura from Landon.

"My blade weighs far more than you can ever imagine so whenever I hold it my speed drops by about 30%, hold your head high Aiden Valor you're strong in fact you're the only person to ever make me move at my highest speed in a very long time and I hope to fight against you someday again Aiden" Landon's tone was as calm and confident as ever, whereas Aiden was panicking inwardly on what his finishing move is going to look like after hearing his blade slowed him down by 30%.

Landon's blade layed down far away from Aiden, and that was Landon's trump card to win the match all the pieces laid perfectly in Landon's puzzle whereas Aiden was barely understanding anything, everyone present at the arena except Aiden could see that Landon's blade had moved from it's position now standing far behind Aiden.

Landon has already taken his stance to zoom off, Aiden's focus unwavered as his eyes locked against Landon, immediately Landon's dull left eye had suddenly dilated with that his blade shot forward towards Aiden and once again he was in the only one in the arena who had been left out of what was currently happening.

He coiled his legs preparing to jump towards Landon but before he could, the broad side of the massive blade slammed into the back of his skull with crushing force, the impact sent shockwaves throughout his entire body his eyelids were getting too heavy for him he placed his left hand weakly on his head as his feet wobbled around struggling to stand straight.

Landon's wings snapped backwards at incredible speed with that he exploded into motion, cracking the concrete beneath his feet, he struggled to keep his eyes open as the wind blew fiercely against his face, by simultaneously slamming both legs against the floor and spreading both wings into the air he was able to bring his body to a complete halt with precise stillness as if time itself had frozen.

Using all the momentum he gathered he launched his left fist forward with devastating force, striking Aiden's face with a brute force, Aiden's head jerked backwards and his motionless figure lifted easily into the air landing flat on his back.

And with that blow Aiden had completely lost consciousness making Landon the winner of the match, Aiden's lifeless body laid still on the ground with blood painted on his nose and mouth, Landon attitude didn't show an atom of celebration he only picked up his sword covered up his left eye with his hair and slowly walked out of the arena the sound of every step reverberating thro

ughout the arena.
