Hello everyone, Lealius here, and welcome to a new chapter

In this one, we will see who the winner of the first fight is

Without further ado, let´s proceed

Record of Ragnarok belongs to Takumi Fukui, Shinya Umemura and Chika Aji

Kaette kudasai Akutsu-san belongs to Taichi Nagaoka

-"Sorry, kid, this is it" he prepared the tip of his lance, ready to deliver the final blow

-"This is it!" Heimdall said "Mars is going to finish Ooyama off!"

Thrusting his spear into his opponent, it looked like that was it

Fortunately, Ooyama rolled out of the way

-"Huh?" the god was surprised

Ooyama quickly stood up "This is it!" his gold right hand glove began to shine

-"What are you?"

Before he could finish his question, the young man delivered a punch towards the deity, who block it with his right forearm

-"Is that it?" the god asked

-"Not yet" the accumulated energy began to concentrate in one point

-"What the?"

-"Holy Gloves" Ooyama said "Release of energy!"

And the result of it was a burst, it looked like a small one, but the power generated was enough to send the god flying backwards, though he used his spear to steer himself

-"I cannot believe it!" Heimdall said "Using his gloves, Ooyama released a small energy burst, and now, Mars"

The god, while still standing and having being able to survived the attack, could not believe what he saw

Not only was blood drooping, but the skin covering his forearm was gone, revealing the tissues that formed the muscles

-"I was close" Ooyama complained "At least I did some damage"

-"I…" Goll said "I don´t get it, what exactly did Ooyama do?"

-"It's all thanks to his gloves" Brünhilde said "Do you remember at the beginning of the fight when he first stopped Mars attack?"

The younger Valkyrie put a hand on her chin "Well… he stopped the attack completely" her eyes went wide "So his gloves can neutralize an opponent's attack?"

-"Sort of. The true purpose of those gloves, just as the name of Alvytr, a valkyrie specialized in defense, implies, are to protect Ooyama, he can fully absorb the energy behind an opponent´s attack, it's known as Holy Gloves: Absorption of Energy, and he can use that absorbed energy against them, granted, he can only stop one attack at the time"

-"Even if it's only one attack at the time, it's still awesome! but" she was confused "What about just now? How did he injure Mars? He didn't stop an attack back then"

-"It's like the old saying goes: The best defense is a good offense. Ooyama can store a part of that energy absorbed, and released it in a small burst upon contact, which is the tricky part"

-"So that's why he charged at Mars first" Goll concluded "He wanted to get closer to him to use that!"

-"Exactly, Mars got cocky, and Ooyama took advantage of it" she was proud of her warrior

Inspecting his damaged forearm, the god realized that he could still move his fingers and hand, so that was a relief

-"Still hurts" the god said, then smiled at Ooyama "Not bad, kid, hell, i should thank you"

-"Eh?" he was confused "For what?"

-"Now" he had a blood-thirsty look on his eyes "I can finally get serious"

Meanwhile, in the Greek god´s VIP balcony

-"Hmph" a male voice said in displeasure "That fool, tainting the legacy of a god of war"

A very tall and extremely muscular handsome God. He has blond hair and gray eyes. Wears only a loincloth and a cape and has a helmet decorated with intricate carvings.

He was Ares, the god of war of Greece

-"You think so, dear brother?" Hermes asked

-"But of course. If I was the one fighting, I would have never got myself damaged by that human"

-"He only has a damaged forearm and small bruises on his back" Zeus said "Still, that human is an interesting one, he's the exact opposite of Mars"

-"Be that as it may" Ares said "I should have been the one sent to represent us gods of war"

-"Didn´t Mars defeat you before we started Ragnarok?" Hermes playfully asked "Hence, why he's the one fighting"

-"Whose side are you on?!" the blonde god asked, totally offended "Just finish this already, Mars!"

-"What do you mean by serious?" Ooyama asked

-"You´ll see" grabbing his spear´s end part of the handle with right hand, and the top part with his left hand, the god planted the tip of it on the ground "Here goes" he charged his weapon ahead, similar to a sweeping movement "Bear Claw: Wave"

And thus, a wave of energy charged at the young warrior, leaving a trail of the cut behind it

-"Mars has used his spear to release an energy wave, it looks like some crescent cut"

-"I gotta dodge" and he did so

The wave cut passed by where Ooyama was

-"Not yet!" Mars said as he jumped to Ooyama

-"That was a distraction!" the young one realized

-"Here goes!" the god above Ooyama slammed his spear down, ready to hit him with the tip of it "Bear Claw: Downard cut"

The lonely one deployed his hands to intercept the attack, like the ones before

-"Holy Gloves: Absorption"

But

-"Nghhh"

The strength of the attack is too much for it

-"Raggggh!" the god screamed

And the slam went down in, the sides of the tip slashing something

-"Gwah!" Ooyama screamed in pain

-"Ooyama!" Akutsu yelled panicked

A couple of fingers from both of his hands flew away

-"Tch" the young warrior jumped a few feet back, to gain some distance

-"Incredible!" Hemindall said "Using a powerful attack, Mars has reversed the situation!"

Looking at his hands, Ooyama was full of shock

In both his left and right hand, he has lose 3 fingers each, blood dripping from the holes they had left

Now he only has his thumbs and pinkies

-"Ooyama!" Goll yelled concerned "I don´t get it" she looked at Brünhilde "What happened?!"

-"Goll" the elder valkyrie replied, concerned but not surprised "Even divine weapons have their limits, they can be broken too, and that's precisely what Mars did"

The younger valkyrie gulped nervously "Wait!" she remembered something "If Alvitr is that weapon, does that mean?"

-"Yes"

Deep within his soul, the valkyrie Ooyama paired up with was also in pain

-"Alvitr-san!" Ooyama asked the valkyrie "How are you holding up!?"

-"It hurts, but I'll manage"

-"That´s it!" Akutsu was pissed "I´m going to help him!"

He tried to jumped into the arena, but got electrocuted instead

-"Kyaaaaaaa!"

-"Akutsu-san!" Ooyama yelled concerned

-"Riko" her friends grabbed her, she was not dead thankfully

-"W-What was that?" Ooya asked in disbelief

-"The barrier" Heimdall said "It has been implemented so no one can interfere with the fight. It will not be lifted until a winner has been decided, in other words, until someone is fully gone"

-"W-what?!" Akutsu said, despite the pain, and looked at Ooyama worried

-"Would you look at that" Mars said

Ooyama looked at the god

"You are still standing despite all the damage"

Ooyama looked at his body, not only he lost some fingers, he still had all the wounds on his hands and legs from Mars previous barrage of stabs

-"I guess adrenaline is keeping me going" he thought "Hehe"

-"What are you laughing about?" Mars asked curiously

-"I don´t know…But I can't really give up"

Despite the situation, he was still confident

-"Is that so?" the god asked

-"Akutsu-san will get mad if I lose, fingers or not, I have to find a way to defeat you"

The god looked at Akutsu, then at Ooyama "That woman means that much to you?"

-"He´s the reason I'm no longer who I was… And I will return to her!"

-"Ooyama" Akutsu was touched "You little" she was fiercely blushing, but she was happy

-"This kid" the god thought "I just bed the first lady I found and that was it, I was more focussed on battling so that there could be peace"

-"You are an interesting one kid, you would make a good soldier"

-"Thank you Mars-san"

-"But" he prepared his spear "Only one lives"

-"I know"

The god Mars, the human Kota Ooyama

One loved battle and outdoors, the other loved indoors

One just had a fling with a woman, the other loved one with all of his heart

They were completely different beings, and not only because one was a god and one was a human

But even so, there was one thing they agreed on

And it was that their fight was coming to an end

-"Here I god" the god charged at Ooyama

-"Two fingers or not" Ooyama said while charging his gloves for a final attack

The god was right in from of him

-"Bear Claw: Downard cut!"

Ooyama received the attack with his hands, despite the state they were in

-""Holy Gloves: Release of Energy!"

Trying to focus as much energy as possible in a final burst, the two attacks collided

-"RGHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!" both human and god released their final cry

And the final explosion happened, a cloud of dust engulfing them

-"An impressive demonstration from both parts!" Heimdall said "But what is the result!?"

-"Ooyama" Akutsu said "Come on"

The cloud of dust disappeared

And what it showed

Crushed humanity's hope

Because Ooyama… Has lost his hands

-"Ugh" the young one looked at his handless limbs, feeling the pain "I… I can't do anything else" he closed his eyes and smile weakly "I´ve reached my limit"

The god just stared at him in silence

-"You beat me, Mars-san"

-"...You fought well, kid" the god lifted his spear one more time "No, Kota Ooyama"

And thrusted through his opponent´s throat

Ooyama could feel his backbone and bone marrow being ripped apart as the tip of the spear pierced through them

-"Glack" he coughed some blood

-"Later" the god said once he removed his spear

Ooyama stood there, not moving an inch

-"O-Oyama?" Akutsu asked

Suddenly, his body began to disappear, starting by his legs

Truly, he was being carried away like dust, for nothing of him to remain

-"Damn it, Ooyama!" Akutsu yelled angrily, with tears forming

-"Alvitr-san… I´m sorry"

The valkyrie only smiled at him, she was not angry

She knew he tried his best

Using his remaining strength, he looked to where his beloved Riko Akutsu was

She was all he could think off "Riko Akutsu… All the times you were at my place… Whether it was to play videogames, eat something, or get caught up in some weird shenanigan… They were the best of my life"

His torso was gone

With one last smile at her, his final words were

-"Thank you"

Akutsu was in disbelief, alongside the rest of her friends

With that, the last of him disappeared

Kota Ooyama was no more

-"It 's over!" Heimdall said "The winner of the first fight of Ragnarok is the representative of the gods… Mars!"

The god was looking at the sky, remembering the young warrior who fought him until the end

He let out a sigh

Kota Ooyama vs Mars

Match time: 10 minutes 2 seconds

Deciding move: Bear Claw: Downard Cut

Winner: Mars

-"Mars, sir" Heimdall walked to the god "Allow me to guide you to"

-"I know where the exit is, pipsqueak!" and he began to leave

-"Huh?" the announcer was confused "I don't get it, he won, yet… he looks so depressed"

-"Ooyama" Ooya said, tears in her eyes

Suddenly, Akutsu stood up and begin to head towards the exit

-"Riko?" her friends Misaki and Yoko said

She was walking down the hallway

-"Riko, wait!" Misaki asked

-"Where are you going?" Yoko asked

-"I…" she was struggling "I´m gonna kick that god´s ass"

-"That's just dangerous!"

-"I don't care!"

Suddenly, she was wrapped by someone

-"Ooya-san?"

-"He wouldn't have wanted that for you, and you know it"

-"I"

He remembered the boy he spend so many days with, pranks, playing, eating, all in that small apartment of his

And she loved all of it

And

She loved him

-"DAMN IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIT!" she broke down in tears

Meanwhile

-"Take that, you puny humans!" a god from the public said

-"Did you really think you had a chance?!"

They were all laughing

-"What's with the chanting?" Goll asked in disbelief "They act like children… and yet they call themselves gods?"

She noticed her elder sister leaving to her chamber

-"Sis!" she said once she caught up "What will happen to Ooyama-san and Alvitr after this?"

Brünhilde stopped on her tracks "A foolish question"

-"Huh?"

-"This battle is one of the souls. If the soul itself is destroyed, then that's it, no return, reduced to dust in the vacuum of space"

The words slowly began to take effect on the youngest of the Valkyries

-"Niflhel" Brünhilde continued "There is no after this for them… not anymore"

-"That´s" Goll was shocked, that was such a cruel fate "How…"

The eldest one continue walking

-"How can you keep walking like nothing happened?!" Goll was outraged "Don´t you feel anything? We´ll never see sister Alvitr again! Ooyama-san´s family and friends will never see him again!"

-"Goll" Brünhilde said stopping herself, and looked at her sister with a looked full of rage, the veins on her face pulsating

She was fed up with all of it

-"Do you really think we can kill those bastards without taking that risk?!"

The tears kept falling from Goll´s face

-"The fate of all of humanity rest upon the outcome of this war"

And with Ooyama´s defeat

They have taken their first step towards extinction

And that´s the end of that, poor Ooyama, but let´s face it, it can´t be that easy, humanity has a lot of suffering in store, and it´s not gonna be pretty

Well, with the first fight out the way, we have 12 more to go, what will happen next?

Also, at the end of each fight, I will add a summary of the fighter for humanity´s original series plot, for those who are interested

Here´s for Ooyama

"Kōta Ooyama is a high school student who lives alone. One day, Riko Akutsu, a delinquent classmate, suddenly arrives at his apartment complex and decides to use his room as her personal hangout. Despite wanting Akutsu to go home, Ooyama is conflicted about the situation."

And that´s the end of that, as usual, thank you for reading, leave reviews or send a PM and I´ll gladdly answer

Peace
