Leo rushed in with his tachi and struck at Moros; Moros blocked with the harvester pf of souls, sending Leo back
Leo used his shadow as black tendrils that rose and struck at Moros. He dodged them, occasionally blocking with his sword
Moros then suddenly struck the ground with his sword, and the ground rose up in pillars toward Leo
Leo backflipped, dodging before then firing several eclipse energy balls, which broke the pillars, and they were now heading towards Moros
Moros moved his blade, knocking Leo into a wall
Arjuna, with his now reformed bow, sent an arrow towards Moros when, suddenly, a herald blocked it, then rushed at Arjuna, forcing him to leave the arena
"Are you going to be all right?" Bharati asked
"Yeah", Arjuna said, kicking the herald before sending 5 thunder arrows
They soar through the air, and a sonic boom hits the herald
The herald shrugged it off and rushed at him, punching him.
Arjuna got knocked back
He stood up, and then he aimed 100 arrows in the air, and then he dismissed his weapon
The herald rushed in and tried to punch him, but Arjuna dodged
Then, he punched him in the stomach, sending the herald into the air
Moros moved in like a shadow, his sword aiming for Leo's heart
Leo used his shadow sovereignty to block the blades
His tachi was covered in esplice energy as he clashed with Moros
Moros stomped the ground a large boulder rose up in the air
The boulder was launched towards Leo like a speeding bullet
Leo used his Eclipse Manipulation to create a sphere and shot it at the boulder
The boulder broke easily
Moros rushed into Leo slashed his shoulder
It created a shallow cut
Before Leo could counter, Moros cut a shallow cut on his cheek
Leo then used his shadow sovereignty to create some distance between them
Leo now went on the offensive
This story has been stolen from Royal Road. If you read it on Amazon, please report it
He feinted with his sword, causing Moros to block his head
He then placed his hand forward, using death's touch on Moros's side
Moros kicked him away, then he cut the place where Leo had placed his hand
His side then regenerated
Leonidas crashed into a pillar
His Shadow caught him mid-air
He landed on his feet, immediately countering
He threw Eclipse Manipulation spheres
Moros Laughed
He slashed through two spheres as they exploded
He caught the third with his bare hand
And crushed it like a grape
"Is this ALL your Father gave you?"
Shadow rose across the entire courtyard
It rose as TENDRILS from multiple directions
It creates blind spots and distractions
While Moros is distracted, Leo strikes from an unexpected angle
Leonidas Tachi slashed down, creating a shallow cut on Moros' arm
Golden ichor flowed from the wound
Moros stopped in the track, staring at the blood and now at Leo
He then touched the blood with his fingers, staring at it
"HAHA HAHA", Moros laughed hysterically, confusing Leo
Suddenly, his expression turned serious. " I see I have gone soft"
Moros aura suddenly exploded in strength
Leo's knee started to buckle slowly
Bharati's eardrums burst
Arjuna was already done with the herald and held his ground
Moros sword changed into a Zweih?nder
The blade turned pure black
"I shall show why I am superior", Moros said
Leo barely had time to raise his guard before Moros moved
Moros' speed increased as he struck with the force of stone craters
Leonidas tried to catch up to dodge
But Moros strikes wereperfect
Leonidas slashed down with his tachi
Moros moved to the side and sliced a deep cut on his left arm
Blood spraying everywhere
Leonidas jumped back, but Moros rushed him, catching Leo off guard
He quickly parried Leo's attacks, then he slashed him across the chest and stabbed his ribs
Moros dodged Leo's upward slash
He then held his sword and the blade, and he hit Leo in the face, breaking his nose, then still holding his sword in his hand
Moros is aiming for his leg, tripping Leo
He then kicked Leo's stomach, making him vomit blood
The ground cracked around them
Leo managed to run back
He was coughing, bleeding, and broken
The system rang out [CRITICAL: Health at 34%]
[Divine Heritage strain: 87%]
[Soul stability: FAILING]
[Recommendation: SURRENDER]
Moros walked with Leo's sword on his shoulder
"Don't you understand I am stronger, faster, I am better, I am better", Moros said, mocking Leo
"I've had CENTURIES to master my divinity. You've had HOURS."
He kicked Leo onto his back
"Your Father gave you his blessing. a blessing doesn't make you a warrior."'I've killed gods, little brother. ACTUAL gods. You're just a CHILD playing dress-up."
Shadow tried to lift him
Left hand still has Death's Touch, yet he couldn't reach Moros
His Right hand's Eclipse energy was DIM
"Stay down. I'll make this quick." Moros said, raising his sword
As Moros raised his sword for a killing blow:
Leo's mind flashed
"Never give up", his grandpa said
He remembered working himself to death, giving up on life
Reincarnation gave him a SECOND CHANCE
Karna: In a coma because Leo took his power
"Don't dishonour that choice by failing", Bharati said
"You're MINE. My blood. My legacy," he remembered those words
Leo's eye blazed
Leo said, spitting blood, "Not... done... yet."
Moros said, sighing, "Yes. You are."
His Blade descends
Suddenly, Leo's shadow sovereignty exploded with power, his shadow expanding
The shadow formed dozens of tendrils and weapons
It had its own face; it was Thantos, Leo's father
"Not my son, you dirty bitch of Hades."
Leonidas's shadow blocked Moros's blade
Moros tried to pull back, but he couldn't pull out
Leo used death touch and touched the ground
The ground cracked around them
Moros jumped back
Leo's Shadow supported him like armour
His Left eye was FULLY BLAZING now
Divine Heritage: 50% → 62%
Now two voices spoke
"You want to see what Death's son can do?" Thantos and Leo said
For the first time in the fight, Moros looked IMPRESSED.
"There it is. Father's TRUE gift."
He raised his sword again—this time, with respect
