25. Sword against Spear and Shield
The next day he met with Sona and told her about himself, the Brotherhood of Ala Alba and most importantly about his apostels. It was kind the shock for her hearing how many apostels he has. But she had decided, she was willing to try it. She would spend more time with him, listening to what he was willing to share, but unfortunatly she had some business to attend in the Buvelle manor, so she wouldn´t be in the Institue the next days. Maybe it wasn´t that bad, so she would have some time to think about everything. Kamui was called to the Headsummoner, he wanted to discuss something with him. Kamui walked simply trough one of the gardens in the Institute, when suddenly he felt an aura above him. He knew that aura, but was he really doing what Kamui was thinking he was doing?
With a leap backwards he evaded the impact as the person crashed where he was standing a moment ago, from the dust was a spear thrown at Kamui, who caught it midair. Where the garden was a moment ago now was now a giant crater. From the middle of it the person laughed "You are as good as they say you are" Kamui smirked "Thank you, Pantheon, but what were you trying? Crushing me?" "It is the way of the rakkor to prove themselfes in battle. And the best way is by challenging the strongest" "Well, you could simply asked me rather than attacking me out of the blue" Kamui threw the spear back at Pantheon and it landed before his feet. "The summoners will get angry for what you have done with the garden, it was a pleasant sight before you crushed like a madman" Pantheon grabbed the spear and pointed it at Kamui "I do not care about the garden, nor do i care about the summoners reaction. I want nothing more than to fight you, so draw you weapon!" "Pantheon, listen, we should maybe duell in a arena than in the middle of the Institue of War furthermore..." but Kamui couldn´t finish his sentence, because Pantheon was already attacking him. He tried to impale Kamui, but Kamui evaded it by jumping a little back. Pantheon continued attack Kamui with a series of stabs and swings from his spear. Kamui disappeared from his sight and Pantheon searched the area for his opponent, then he could hear his voice from behind him, Kamui stood on the other side of the now devastated garden "furthermore the Headsummoner wants to meet me, we can duel eachother after the meeting." "No, you will not run from this fight, we will battle right here and right now!" Again he was charging at Kamui, but was send back by a powerful kick against his shield. "You will not listen, will you?" Then Kamui smirked at Pantheon, as he drew Delf from his sheath. "Fine then, we will enjoy ourselfes, after that i can still meet the old man." "Do you really want to battle him, master?" Ren asked. "Come on, Ren, we haven´t a good fight in quite a while" Kamui anwered her. "That´s the spirit!" Haishel said. "I wish you not to interfere, this is my battle." Kamui said to his inner circle, he ignored their protest and then both warriors engaged in the blur of attacks. Kamui was only using his sword, nothing more. Pantheon noticed this and jumped back, but this action got him a cut on his arm. "i heard you could use more than your sword, magic and some sort of levitating ghostblades, why aren´t you using them?" "I thought this battle should be a comparison between your skills with spear and shield and my sword. So no magic or other weaponry" "Ha ha so be it, Godslayer." Pantheon was a strong champion. He lived for the battle so he was very skilled with his spear and shield. Only a handful of champions could fight with him on par in close combat. But it didn´t matter what he tried, Kamui was faster and stronger. They battled for quite a while before they seperated. Pantheon was breathing heavily and he had cuts all over his body. His armor pierced by Delf´s blade. Kamui on the other hand was calm, he was breathing normally, his clothes were torn in a few places, but he himself was totally fine, not a single drop of his blood had been spilled and that angered Pantheon greatly. To be inferior to another was shameful for him, but to be outbattled so much was unheard of. "Tell me, Godslayer, are you really that much stronger than me?" " You are a strong champion Pantheon, i understand why you are the best warrior of the rakkor and i honor you skills, but still you are no match for me." "How can this be, i fought my entire life, how can you be so much stronger than me? You are not even using all of you powers, but still i can do this much against you? Hmph fine, i may not be able to win, but the rakkor never surrender!" One last time both of them charged at each other. Kamui caught Pantheon´s spear with his left hand and stroke with Delf at Pantheon´s left side and forced him to protect himself with his now Pantheons front was open, so Kamui kicked him in the chest and send him flying against a wall. Pantheon had lost conciousness, the battle was over. "He is not that bad" Depore said. "Yeah, he is still young, but he is strong and will bring his people honor." Kamui said, as he stood before Pantheos body, confirming that Pantheon had only light injuries.
Kamui could feel the aura of lots of people running to his location. "Maybe you should get out of here?" Haishel suggested. "Yeah, i think that would be for the best, explaining this would be rather annoying. Oh crap, the Headsummoners is waiting." Before the guards arrived Kamui was gone.
