Outcast Hunter

Blasphemy, who got struck by Leo's sword, was still relishing the pain... the pain inflicted on him. The wound not only just causes him physical pain but also gave him pure enjoyment. There's nothing better than what Blasphemy was feeling at that time. Blasphemy's facial expression confuses Leo. His earlier pained face had vanished and replaced it with a sinister grin. Soon, Leo realized that his enemy was actually enjoying what he just did to him.

"How many years has it been... 40? No, about 50.".

The bleeding had rested. The temperature around them continued to drop. Leo could feel his hands trembling in the cold.

"You're rather enjoying it," Leo said. He endured the extreme cold he was feeling at that moment. "Shall we continue?" He asked.

Blasphemy's reply to Leo's question was a fierce slashed instead. Leo was aware of the fact that his enemy was going to attack him. So he has to strikes back as he dodged Blasphemy's sword. Both of them have nothing to hold back in this fight. There's nothing to lose in this fight, only to gain; self-satisfaction and a new ally.

"You almost slit my neck," Blasphemy had leaped back. He watched the tip of Leo's sword mercilessly swing towards him and passed by under his chin. "That's dangerous but, that's what makes things more exciting!"

There's no stopping the two of them. Leo took advantage of the fact that his enemy had leaped back. He ran to his enemy's flank. Blasphemy's eyes followed him. He used the melting ice from the sword to fend off Leo. Blasphemy sprayed it all over to the latter's direction.

"I nearly forgot about your sword's way."

Before Leo back off, he threw his sword's skill towards the old man. He couldn't find an opening. Blasphemy isn't letting his guard down. His movements were precise and cautious.

'This isn't good,' as the fight goes on, Leo will be slowly put into disadvantage because of the gradual decrease in the temperature. 'I can't fight him any longer than it had taken.' With that, Leo thought of a plan to catch his enemy off guard.

"Seems like you're up to something good..." Not just he's strong but, he's also sharp to notice that Leo's planning something.

"It will be risky though."

Nothing had changed. Both of them were still the same as earlier. The two went at it again. They exchanged blows to the point that they were clearing the cold mist caused by their destructive power. There's no stopping the two of them. Anyone who would try to hinder their combat will fall prey to them. Their fight was at the peak, and it is nearing its end.

Progressively, Leo was executing his plan pretty well. At first, he planned on a full-frontal attack and then launch a surprise attack that would catch Blaphemy off guard. An attack he'd least expect. Second, he could just deceive his enemy into thinking that he's unable to fight anymore. But Leo knows that that kind of plan would just all be for naught. His enemy's too sharp. He'll just see through him.

'So that leaves me with my last plan, huh?'

Aggressively yet careful, Leo threw multiple attacks to his foe. He's not giving Blasphemy anytime to prepare for the next one. Blasphemy was indeed strong and highly skilled. He's keeping up with Leo's speed and would even strike back if he finds an opportunity to do so.

"Why is he acting so rashly?!" Drago's eyes never shifted away from the fight. "Idiot, he's waiting for you to do that!"
