The sword came at him fast, but the dark male quickly moved to the side to avoid the slash. The audience of the arena roared, and some hissed and booed. He glanced at his opponent, waiting for his next move. His opponent took an upward slash at him, but this was evaded as well. Once again, the audience remarked in loud taste. He grinned seeing that his adversary was slightly pissed at him. He took this chance to swing at his chest in a rather fast manner. The slice landed and the man's shield emitted a bluish flash around the hit area. The audience's cheers and roars deafened any other sound that was made. The dark male slashed quickly seeing his opponent was recovering from the first blow. This was landed at his adversary's right shoulder. The shield flashed now a yellowish color showing that the shield would be dispersed in a few more hits. The audience returned the man's blow with a roar. The dark man suddenly thrusted his sword forward at the man's left chest area. It struck him and his shield flashed a bright red. Cheers from the crowd filled the arena as a retort to the hit. The man realizing he had been hit three times straight threw his blade at the dark man's head. The dark man quickly ducked it as he came up with an upward sword slash to counter his attack. The shield from the hit man dispelled. He gasped and stepped back a bit. But, the dark man rushed at him at seemingly the speed of light and gasped his blade firmly doing his finishing blow now, which consisted of him leaping into the air a dozen feet in the meanwhile doing a slash that carried his opponent with him. The slash engulfed the misfortunate in a fury of flames. The dark man called this his "Phoenix Rising". The dark man landed and sheathed his sword behind his back as his adversary's dead body fell in front of him. The body was slightly crisped and charred where the slash hit. More to come!
