Both Mikey and Claudius take an offensive stance. There are already a few people who are sitting in the colloseum watching their fight because they had already defeated their opponent.

Mikey charges at Claudius first, Claudius doesn't defend against Mikey's attack and instead goes for a spear thrust. Mikey tries to parry Claudius's spear, but Claudius is way too strong and Mikey's parry doesn't work.

Claudius who is holding his spear in his right hand attacks Mikey with his left fist. Mikey punches back and their fists clash. Surprisingly, Mikey is holding his own against the huge man. Claudius falls back and throws his spear at Mikey. The spear is travelling at such a high speed that Mikey barely dodges it. Next thing he knows is that Claudius is right in front of him, about to punch him in the face.

Mikey puts his sword in front of his face, with the sharp edge facing sideways. Claudius's fist and Mikey's sword clash. Mikey is sent flying a few meters back.

Claudius's shirt starts to rip apart as his body and muscles grow even larger.

So this is his attribute? Mikey thought to himself. It seems to be enhancing his strenght greatly... I have still no clue what is my attribute capable of. If I don't find out what I can do with it, I will not win this battle.

Claudius starts a rampage on Mikey, attacking him with a lot of consecutive attacks in a row. He is faster and stronger than Mikey at this point. Mikey eventually loses his sword as Claudius knocks it away with his hand. A lot of people have finished their fight now and are watching this battle. The people in the crowd are surprised by how can someone with such a low rank have such a tremendous power.

Eventually, Mikey's stamina runs out first and he gets punched in the face and is sent flying into a wall at the edge of the colloseum. Mikey falls to the ground and Claudius slowly aporoaches him.

"So, this is it? Didn't you say that your attribute is so strong that this won't be easy for me? All you've been doing so far was dodging my attacks, and even that didn't work out in the end."

Mikey looks up at Claudius, something has changed about Mikey... it's his eyes. His pupils were stretched vertically, the shape of his eyes were the same as cat's eyes. Claudius noticed it right away.

Mikey got up and attacked Claudius with a kick. Claudius dodged with ease and started again, rampaging on Mikey. But something was different this time. Claudius could feel it and Mikey felt it aswell. Mikey's attribute "Ultimate Fighter" was finally active.

Claudius tried many different moves on Mikey, from regular punches to uppercuts to crosspunches to side kicks, high kicks, roundhouse kicks and many more... but Mikey evaded everything. The people in the crowd started getting really interested in the fight between these two.

"I am not done yet!" Claudius says as his muscles grow even bigger, an orange aura starts appearing around him. Claudius attacks Mikey again and hits him this time, right in the stomach. Mikey is once again sent flying from the tremendous power. He was able to read Claudius's move, but he wasn't able to physically keep up with it. Mikey manages to stay on his feet without falling over and prepares for Claudius's next attack. Claudius comes charging at Mikey with a flying kick. Mikey barely evades and Claudius comes crashing into a wall.

Mikey takes the buckler off of his hand and throws it at Claudius's face. Claudius quickly puts his arms up and blocks the shield. Next, he is about to attack Mikey but... Mikey is nowhere to be seen.

Claudius feels an omnious presence above him, he looks above and sees Mikey who is coming at him at an insane speed.

I don't know what these abilities or whatever are, but I am sure that it has to do with my attribute. I have to defeat this guy!

Mikey comes crashing at Claudius like a meteorite.

BOOM!

A big dust cloud is formed from the intense and huge impact of Mikey's attack. The dust cloud slowly lifts up and the crowd can see the result of the battle.

Claudius is lying on the ground and Mikey is barely standing still, with blood running down his face. However the battle is not over yet. In order for the fight to end, one of the two fighters has to be dead. Both Claudius and Mikey are still alive.

Mikey walks up to his sword which is lying a few meters away from him. He picks it up and walks over to Claudius. He is about to cut Claudius's head off when suddenly... Claudius rolls a few meters away and stands back up.

Claudius's body has shrunk, it looks smaller than it was at the start of the fight his orange aura has also dissapeared. Mikey is assuming that it's because of the fact that his attribute cannot be active all the time. He still doesn't really understand Claudius's attribute, but he knows that he is definitely vulnerable right now.

"I admit Mikey, I underestimated you, but, there is still one more thing that I have to show you."

Claudius started running towards Mikey he was faster than before. He started punching Mikey. Mikey couldn't evade any of his attacks, however it wasn't an issue because the attacks were MUCH weaker than the attacks from before.

Mikey starts feeling less and less pain as Claudius attacks him more and more. Eventually Mikey isn't fazed at all by Claudius's attacks and he strikes back swinging his sword.

Mikey's slash barely hits Claudius. Claudius falls back and Mikey starts unleashing his wave of attacks. Claudius is able to keep up with Mikey easily. A few seconds later Claudius falls back again and starts running around Mikey in circles. Mikey can't keep up with Claudius's movements and eventually Claudius lands an axe kick right on Mikey's head.

Mikey falls down to the ground unconcious...
