[10]
This time, the Dark Apostle chose not to taunt his opponent. He merely stared at the Fiery Axe with a challenging gaze.
[9]
The female strategos met his eyes with her own confident stare.
[8]
Sparks seemed to fly between the two as they grew more and more excited about the fight to come.
[7]
Their light gear and their powerful arms would definitely cause the duel to start and end relatively quickly.
[6]
A single critical wound could decide the match already.
[5]
Ves would have to pay careful attention to his true body and make sure to admit surrender as soon as it suffered a serious enough injury.
[4]
In order to win the leadership challenge, it was already enough to win 2 out of 4 duels as far as Ves was concerned.
[3]
There was no need to take excessive risks at this point as the first duel had already proved the Dark Apostle’s fighting qualifications.
[2]
It should still be easier for the Dark Apostle to secure a win for the third duel, but the fourth duel should still be hopeless.
[1]
Then again, winning 3 out of 4 duels would save them a lot of trouble.
[FIGHT!]
The two Ascended Giants immediately exploded into action!
Instead of charging straight at each other so that they could land the first blow onto each other, the Dark Apostle had made the sensible decision by turning around and trying to put as much distance between himself and his adversary!
He was not being a coward.
He was trying to be tactical.
He needed to know how fast he was relative to his opponent.
Who could move faster would determine the entire dynamics of this duel!
The Dark Apostle initially smiled when he saw he was able to slightly accelerate faster than the Fiery Axe on a linear trajectory.
While that did not necessarily mean he would retain his advantage when he started to maneuver around, this was already a good sign.
However, the Fiery Axe quickly disabused him of the notion that he was faster.
“It seems like I need to put in a little more effort, haha!”
The Fiery Axe activated a phasewater organ that surprisingly reduced her mass!
Even if she only became 10 or 20 percent lighter, that was a significant reduction in mass, which meant that she was able to accelerate notably faster!
She was catching up to the Dark Apostle!
