Charles manages to get some distance away from the fighter with the Emperor's Spirit. He quickly grabs a longsword from the ground as he looks around at his surroundings. Charles then sees three fighters coming at him with spears while shouting "We found the guy with the red cloth!" as they charge with their spears aimed at Charles. 'Shit!' Sovora thought as he quickly brings up the long sword up to defend himself! The three spears come piercing right at him! Charles using his Emperor's Spirit to knock two spears away with his longsword and grabs the third spear tight and pulls the fighter towards himself. The opponent not expecting this loses his footing as he falls towards Charles.
Charles uses his right hand to smash the fighter's face in as he falls towards Charles creating a cracking sound as the opponent falls flat onto the floor. Charles then moves his focus back to the two other fighters. One of the fighters was stunned for a second from seeing Charles knocking out his friend while the other fighter was running at Charles with an angry yell. With only one person coming at him it was much easier to counter! As the spear was coming at Charles in a piercing motion, Charles quickly sidesteps left avoiding the spear from hitting him. Charles quickly stabs the fighter in the stomach and kicks the almost dead opponent away.
The fighter gets pushed back and falls to the floor dead. The last fighter finally realizes that both of the fighter's friends are now gone and hurriedly runs away. Charles then hears a loud shout behind him. "I'm gonna kill you!!!" Charles quickly turns around leaving the longsword in the fighter's dead body as Charles sees the fighter with Emperor's Spirit running at him with his back and hands full of blood! 'Damn it!' Charles starts running in the opposite direction to avoid the hulking bloodied man! "I will break you!!!" The bloodied man shouted. As Charles was running away, a fighter runs up with a sword trying to kill Charles! Charles immediately grabs the fighter's arm as the opponent was swinging his sword down with his left arm and uses his right elbow to smash into the fighter's face, looking back he sees the bloodied man almost reaching him! He quickly runs behind the dazed opponent and grabbing the fighter's arms to use him as a meat shield.
At that moment the bloodied man finally catches up and swings an uppercut to the stomach of the dazed fighter sending the stunned opponent and Charles flying back a couple of steps. Charles lands hard on the dirt floor leaving a ringing sensation in his head as he tries to get up, but the dazed fighter's body falls on him. "Argh!" Charles uses a lot of strength to remove the body from him and sees that the dazed fighter's ribs crushed by the bloodied man. 'The guy is probably dead!' Charles shivers at the thought that it could have been him that got hit. Charles then looks forward and sees the bloodied man just right in front of him as the bloodied man raises his leg ready to crush Charles!
In a panic, Charles quickly pushes his right leg forward kicking the bloodied man in his family jewels! "AARRRGHH" The bloodied man shouts in pain as he shivers and falls to his knees while he holds his nether region. Using this chance, Charles gets up to grab a shortsword off the ground and swings down the sword at the bloodied man's lowered neck! But just as Charles thought he succeeded in killing the bloodied man he raises up his left arm to stop the shortsword! The shortsword cuts through the bloodied man's flesh but ends at the bone! While Charles is stunned by this, the bloodied man grips his right fist tightly and punches Charles in the stomach!
Charles steps back due to the impact of the punch and pukes blood from the pain. The bloodied man grabs the shortsword stuck to his left arm and pulled it off leaving the would open and bleeding but doesn't seem to bother about it through the bloodied man looks extremely tired! 'What the hell is that man made out of?!' Charles thought as he tries to steady himself. The pain coming from his stomach was excruciating, luckily the bloodied man's punch was much weaker than when he punched the dazed fighter a moment ago.
Stolen story; please report.
As Charles was trying to recover the bloodied man slowly rises from the ground. But just as he got up the scared fighter from before comes running back and tries to stab the bloodied man with his spear! But the bloodied man manages to grab the spear stopping the attack! The bloodied man easily pulls the spear from the spear from the scared fighter and stabs him back with it in the stomach. Then the bloodied man uses his Emperor's Spirit to have enough strength to carry the spear with the body at the tip up and stabs the end of the spear into the dirt making it look like the spear impaled the fighter.
The bloodied man then slowly walks towards Charles fatigued. "Quickly that man is weak now! He shouldn't be able to tap into his Emperor's Spirit much anymore. You should have a fighting chance now!" Janko commented. After hearing that Charles started walking towards the bloodied man. "what is your name?" Charles asks "Andreas! Remember this name, as I rip...your head off!" Andreas said in an exhausted voice. Both of them finally got in range of each other and started their duel!
Andreas starts off with a right straight punch towards Charles's face, but Charles blocks it with his left fist and punches Andreas's stomach with a right punch! Andreas endured the hit and threw a left punch at Charles causing the latter to stumble side was from the pain. Andreas then throws a right uppercut towards Charles's chin, but he manages to dodge it! Charles uses this chance to counter with a straight kick to Andreas's liver causing him to move four steps back.
Charles quickly runs forward to attack with a punch to the face, but Andreas moves to the side and tackles down Charles! With Charles on the ground, Andreas goes for a right punch towards Charles's face but as he does that Charles grabs Andreas's right punch with both arms and pulls it as he pushes Andreas's body with his right leg causing Andreas to land flat on the dirt floor beside Charles. The both of them quickly get up and start going at it again with a series of punches and kicks each landing some blows on the other.
After a few punches and kicks, later the both of them stand to look at each other exhausted. Charles shakes his arms to get blood back in them as they were getting numb from all the hits he blocked with them while Andreas holds his stomach was trying to endure the pain. As they were resting, they both hear a bunch of loud shouts beside them. They look over to see six fighters charging at them with swords, spears, and axes in hand.
"Hey, Red Scarf!" Andreas shouted at Charles as he moves his body to look at the six incoming fighters running at them. "My name is not Red Scarf, Andreas! It's Charles!" Charles replied as he does the same. "Charles then! Why don't we deal with these punks before continuing our duel? I still want to live so I can rip your head off personally!" Andreas shouted as he picks up a longsword from the ground. "Fine! But let me tell you now I ain't gonna die!" Charles says as he picks up two short swords. "That's for me to decide!" Andreas replied as he rushes towards the six fighters with his longsword! Charles sighs as he grips his Shortswords hard and attacks them as well!
Charles immediately blocks the first fighter's swords strike with his left sword and cuts open the fighter's stomach with the right sword killing him! Andreas grabs the handle of the battle-ax of the opponent and shoves his long sword into the fighter's stomach! Andreas let's go of the longsword to block the next fighter's spear by grabbing the shaft of the spear stopping the attack. He kicks the back of the fighter's knee and punches the fighter's face knocking the fighter out. Charles quickly blocks the next fighter's longsword with his right sword and stabs the fighter's neck with the left sword!
Charles leaves the left sword in the dead fighter's and parries the incoming spear and stabs his shortsword straight into the fighter's heart instantly killing him. Meanwhile, Andreas grabs the spear from the knocked out fighter and does an overhead swing that smashes into the next fighter's guard breaking the fighter's sword and smashes into his skull killing him! Andreas then stabs the spear into the knocked out fighter's throat killing him.
They thought they were finished more fighters notice Charles's red cloth and immediately focuses on them. Charles exhaustedly grabs a longsword from a dead fighter as he looks at the small crowd of people rushing at him and Andreas and shouts: "I will not die here!"
