Chapter 57 : Battle for Europe 22

Hero and Archilles charge at each other. They both swing their swords and clash together in mid-air. Then they jump back and charge again. Archilles disappears into thin air. Hero looks sharply to the left and raises his sword.

Clash. The swords meet again. Archilles vanishes again. Hero does the same. All over the room the sounds of swords clashing were heard. Then they both skid away from each other. "I guess you've changed your tactics from last time!"Hero said. "Attacking just your achilles tendon wasn't that much entertaining! But slicing off someones head is more gruesome!"Archilles explained.

He disappears again and hero swings his swords. The swords swing send Archilles flying backwards and falls to the ground. "you use that light speed technique too much! It gives your opponents a chance to hit your vital spots!"Hero said. Archilles staggers up. "Still making fun of me aren't you!"He said angrily.
"I'm not making fun of you. I'm still teaching you how to fight with that technique."Hero explained. It angered Archilles even more. He disappears again. Hero raises his sword. Archilles swords gets blocked by it. "If you say that you still teach me , then how come I killed you last time you were 'teaching' me!"He asked.

"Because I didn't have what it takes to kill my own pupil!"Hero explained. Archilles pushes hero from him and skids backwards again. "So what you're saying is that you don't want to fight me?"He asked. "That was back then , but now I want to settle this because I'm here under orders!"Hero explained.
Archilles disappears again and so does hero. Blood spills to the ground. The two men stand. Archilles collapses. "I told you that you used the light speed technique too much! This is what happens when you use it too much. Now you're guts are hanging out of you."Hero said. He slides his sword back into its sheath. He walks past the dying Archilles. He opens the door where his soldiers stand. "We're done here! Let's head back. Just when he walks out the door, Archilles staggers back up. His intestines and blood droop to the ground. Hero turns around to face him. "I-i-I'm not do yet!"He studders. "If you move from that spot, your body will collapse."Hero ordered trying to stop him.
"I don't care! I was also ordered to kill you. This is just a scratch! I'm still willing to fight you!"Archilles shouted back. Hero walks up to him. They both stare at each other. Archiles drops his sword and collapses to the ground. Hero kneels beside him. Archilles begin to cry.
"I never wanted to die as your enemy! I never wanted to do this!"He spat out. With his last gasps for air he smiles at hero and dies. "I know ! I never wanted this to end like this either but this was our fate to fight ."Hero replied.
He closed Archilles eyes and stood back up. Then he turned around and walked out the door shutting it behind him leaving Archilles in the dark room.

As he walked back towards the staircase, tears came out of his eyes. "Damn that light!"He said.
