Battle-3 Day-15
The Great Emperor: Ethelberd
Vs.
The Hero of Old: Sersius
"Where there's a Sechs, there's a Battle"
"Hail Emperor!" Sersius raised his sword, "Even if we're from different periods, you are still a Sechs ruler!"
"Thank you." Ethelberd mumbled and raised his hand, "Cease."
"I hope you will make an excellent challenge, your excellency!" Sersius saluted,
000000000
"What's up with this guy?" Raguna mumbled to Sharron, who shrugged her shoulders in response,
000000000
"Let's get started!" Ethelberd chuckled,
"If you decree... Let us begin!" Sersius extended his blade.
000000000
"TAH!" Ethelberd made a barrier spell to block Sersius' shop,
"Magic!" Sersius groaned, "Damn it!"
"Ha ha!" Ethelberd laughed, "Get used to it! Death Wave!"
"Rah!" Sersius blocked the wave with his shield,
"Die!" Ethelberd teleported behind the hero and blasted him with shadow ball,
"AH!" Sersius yelled as he was knocked away,
"I am way more powerful than you!" Ethelberd laughed,
"Hah!" Sersius launched a white slice,
"Dyah!" Ethelberd made the attack dissipate with a wave of black magic,
"Take this!" Sersius ran to kick the Emperor,
"Ha ha!" Ethelberd blocked the attack with his arm, "Demon Blast!" he shot out a red beam with black electricity,
"Rah!" Sersius kicked the beam upwards, were it exploded midair.
"Die!" Ethelberd blasted Sersius with more dark magic.
"Woah!" Sersius fell back, "Ta!" he did a slice,
"Barrier on!" Ethelberd made the spell,
"RAH!" Sersius strained, then broke the barrier.
"Wah!?"
"Take this!" Sersius roundhouse kicked the Emperor in the face,
"AGH!" Ethelberd crashed into the ground.
"Divine Slice!" Sersius sent out the white razor,
"Never!" Ethelberd said and put up his barrier again,
The razor dissipated as it hit the black sphere,
"Devil Beam!" Ethelberd fired a purple-black beam from his palm towards the Sechs,
"Hah!" Sersius blocked the beam with his shield, however, it was completely destroyed, the shrapnel of which hurt Sersius. "AH!" he yelled and fell back,
"TAKE THIS!" Ethelberd shot out a a big shadow ball,
"NO!" Sersius held back the sphere, "Take it back!" he punched the ball back at him,
"What!?" Ethelberd yelled in shock as his own attack returned,
KABOOM! the sphere went, making a huge black explosion.
"I guess my job is done..." Sersius turned his back and put on some sunglasses as he walked away,
"Get back here!" a voice yelled, "Hell Blitz!"
"What!?" Sersius yelled as Ethelberd warped right in front of him,
"RAH!" the Emperor unleashed a fearsome uppercut, "You will die!" he slammed a fire ball into Sersius' face.
"AUGH!" Sersius was blasted to the wall, "Damn..."
"Oh... you left something." Ethelberd chuckled as he picked up Sersius' sword, it was knocked away,
"Damn..." Sersius grumbled as he stood up,
"I don't want you using this again." Ethelberd said and threw the sword into the farthest wall,
"I am powerless without out my sword..." Sersius muttered, "I know no magic without it..."
"Then you are at my mercy!" Ethelberd laughed and dashed to the hero, "Darkness Shroud!" he said and blasted a dark wave,
"Hah!" Sersius jumped over it,
"Agonize!" Ethelberd turned around and blasted a dark beam,
"RAH!" Sersius smacked it to the side, making it curve and strike the wall,
"What!?"
"Take this!" Sersius yelled and kneed Ethelberd in the chin,
"Wah!" Ethelberd fell back, "You will pay!"
"Silence!" Sersius continued his assault with a fury of punches to the Emperor's stomach.
As long as I keep barraging him at close range... He won't be able to use his magic.. Sersius though.
000000000
"Ah! Ah! Ah!" Ethelberd yelled in pain as Sersius punched his stomach,
"And this! And that!" Sersius said, "Uppercut! Uppercut! Jab! Jab! Left hook!" he threw a nasty punch which sent the emperor to the ground.
"Damn it!" Ethelberd groaned,
"Fore!" Sersius kicked Ethelberd in the stomach, sending him sliding to the wall.
"AH!" Ethelberd said as his back hit the stone,
"Now's my chance!" Sersius said and looked over at his sword, then ran as fast as he could.
"YOU'RE NOT GETTING THAT!" Ethelberd roared, "AH!" he blasted a fiendish dark sphere to follow him.
"I got it!" Sersius said as he raised his sword high, "Uh oh..."
KRAKABOOOM! the sphere went.
"Hehehehehe..." Ethelberd chuckled evilly, "Adios."
"Divine Slice!" Sersius yelled from the dust cloud, and his white razor appeared,
"What!?"
SHLING!
"AH..." Ethelberd groaned, the razor had made a huge gash on his left side,
"Ha ha!" Sersius ran out of the smoke and charged, "Time to end this!" he held his sword to strike!
"No way!" Ethelberd roared and shot a fury of little shadow balls,
"WOAH!" Sersius said as he tried to avoid them all, however, he failed, and the explosion piled on and on.
000000000
"Tah!" Ethelberd blocked Sersius' kick with his knee,
"Wah!" Sersius blocked Ethelberd's Shadow punch with his arm,
"You will die!" Ethelberd yelled and blasted a small black beam,
"Shah!" Sersius struck the beam with his sword, making it dissipate, "No! This is your end!" he elbowed the tyrant.
"Gah..." Ethelberd groaned, "RAH!" he smashed a shadow ball on the hero's face,
"AH!" Sersius yelled and blasted off,
"HELL'S CANNON!" Ethelberd yelled and launched a dark magic and fire magic mixed large beam.
"Ha ha!" Sersius avoided it with a jump, however, the explosion that happened behind him sent his flying back.
"Wah!?" Ethelberd said as Sersius flew towards him,
"OOF!"
"ACK!"
the two impacted and crashed into the wall, Sersius on top.
000000000
"If Ethelberd does that again, he'll break the forcefield!" Raguna said in worry,
"He looks too tired to do so... Look!" Iris commented, pointing out that Ethelberd was panting.
000000000
"Ha... Ha... Ha..." Sersius panted and held his back, "I must say Emperor... You really have me on the ropes..."
"Ha..." Ethelberd sighed, "I can't believe... A royal is losing to his subject..."
"Funny how things work out..." Sersius chuckled, then looked back to where the Hell's Cannon had impacted, there were literally no spectators there, they had fled.
"What is it?" Ethelberd asked, "Relax... I didn't kill them... They just ran off of spooked."
"I think we should end this.." Sersius mumbled, "I don't want to see anyone hurt... What do you say?"
"Hmm..." Ethelberd pondered,
"We don't need to hurt these innocent spectators... Come on..." Sersius said and extended his hand, "Deal?"
"I don't know..." Ethelberd mumbled, "Alright... I care for the people too." he said and took out his hand as well.
They shook on it,
"Alright! I knew we could a- What!?"
"DEATH PUNISHER!" Ethelberd yelled and secretly charged an attack,
"NO!" Sersius yelled as the beam shot out and completely destroyed his upper body!
000000000
"He.. he... he..." Ethelberd chuckled as Sersius' legs fell to the ground, "HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" he laughed evily.
000000000
"Well... I don't know what happened." the Announcer muttered, "I really don't... Oh well... Ethelberd will make it to the Preludes!"
"He... Along with Iris, the other winner of the Special Group, will not fight each other, but will instead fight whichever two fighters from A and B Group that wins their Prelude matches!"
000000000
Next Match was Raguna versus an OC... Raguna wins.
Last Match was Camus versus an OC... Camus wins.

"Camus finishes our Semi-finals!" the Announcer declared, "We hope you guys will come back the day after tomorrow to see the Preludes! We are near the end folks!"
