Duck parry roll slash stab kick duck hack a steady rhythm had formed between Percy and his opponent Elizabeth another victor in the first trial. He was now using a large Zwiehander against her twin daggers. During the past couple weeks of training it had become clear that Percy was skilled in nearly all offensive forms of combat however if he tried to use defense it would ultimately end in his defeat thus he relied upon archery alone for a safer form of battle. Although he was incredibly skilled in throwing weapons and not just the ones that where made to be thrown as he demonstrated hear by hurling the Zwiehander so it cleaved through the air next to Elizabeth's head and then dashing up to place his sword breaker on her throat. "Yield"."Fine although I don't know how you're so good at this I mean some of the people here have trained since they where freaken five and there still not nearly as good as you"."aww thanks".
Liz just gave him a glare before walking off to fight someone else you see even though the combat trial was done no one had delusions about the need to fight again so they all started to duel each other in practice. He had proved so successful people had started to call him the Red Lion of Rhea you see due to the decreased number of people fit to compete many titans had chosen warriors to be something of there champion and he had been selected by Rhea herself the great Queen of the Titans there where only three others who could be considered so blessed and indeed more so.
There was Draco Morion a scythe wielding man whom many might call maniac the King Kronos claimed him. Than there where the two most famous halfbloods in the land Dimitri and Nova. Dimitri was Hyperion's son and held light itself as a blade on the other end of the spectrum Nova was a daughter of Moros to her Darkness was but a doorway her seax moved faster than could be seen and in moments you would be dead these two where claimed by Uranus and Gaia respectively.
As for why Rhea chose him Percy had no clue really there where many fighters here far better than him. "Oh yes you are one of the others those who have more noteworthy patrons". Percy frowned before turning to see a hooded man holding a staff with a strange handle sticking out to the side "well I suppose you could say that but who are you"."hahaha oh well I am Draco".
In a flash Draco swung his staff a blade popping out of the shaft as he gripped the handle. Just as fast Perseus had raised his blade to block the attack while stepping into it he failed to fully stop it and it ground a long his sword until slamming unto the ground Draco gave Perseus a gash on the chest by flipping his scythe in his hands and swinging up forcing Percy to lean back to an insane degree while also pushing forward on his sword Perseus was now injured a thin line of blood going along the lions claws as though it where walking "ah yes that is better you don't seem the kind to roar and prance no your style is much to efficient for that". ignoring what he guessed to be a taunt Perseus lunged forward with his blade only for Draco to step back good he wasn't one to block.
Perseus thrived on the offensive doing large over head swings and swift jabs but he was getting nowhere he had managed to just barely clip his enemy cloak once or twice. Percy instead switched into a more brutal style by lowering his large blade and instead drawing the sword breaker from his belt "ooh what us that it seems important to you let me guess you took it hmm didn't you. You killed someone and took there blade. Ooie this is just oh so sweet". Draco got no further before a line of blood went along his chest from the Zwiehander before Perseus followed up with speedy slashes of the Zwiehander.
As Draco leaped back so did Percy confusing Draco for but a moment however never able to resist an opening he dove in and dodged an overhead strike from the Zwiehander only when the blade touched the ground Perseus no longer held the grip and had instead backhanded Draco crushing his unarmoured foes nose before reaching out and gripping the mans hair holding his head. Resting his Sword breaker upon his foes neck.
"Yield"."I but how what hol wait no that thats not possible its just not its no never". Draco was wide eyed not able to say a word this had never happened before he couldn't lose he couldn't but he had and as darkness overwhelmed him the scythe wielder began to wonder who was this man that could defeat him.
Perseus walked away from the unconscious man thinking twice in a row he had one by the shear surprise that someone would be stupid enough to drop there weapon that wouldn't work against more than one person he needed to train over and over again and again if he wished to succeed so he marched calmly to the weapons rack and chose a spear with a cross guard as well as a tower shield. Doesn't matter how much he sucked it was time to play defense.
Hay hello a what did you think I thought it was good although Draco went down easy this time he won't later he is crazy so who knows if he was doing his best well I knows and he wasn't as for the other two Dimitri and Nova they will be seen later down the line this is just kind of to show you Percy only lives because he doesn't know how to fight no experienced warrior would let go of there weapon if they could have kept it and given his newfound reputation people think Percy is an espierienced warrior also put weapon designs in the comment please I need them for later thank you come again
