Outcast Hunter

Grim was serious when he swung his scythe towards Leo. He intended to hurt him with his weapon. He knew that Leo would be able to dodge his attack. Instead of worrying, Leo's excitement skyrocketed. He prefers to have Grim fight him seriously.

"Will I die if I got hit by your scythe?" Leo asked with a smile.

Grim lightly shook his head, "No, if it's just a scratch or an arm or leg. This is just like any other weapon."

"Ohhh... so, shall we?".

Leo continued their battle. He initiated the first attack. He disengage to trick his opponent by attacking a specific area, and moving in a semi-circle arc to attack a different area. Grim wouldn't fall for such petty tricks. He countered it with a circle-parry. Leo remise after his first attack was parried. Grim bent back, dodging Leo's sword.

Leo saw Grim's right foot coming from above. He expectantly evaded it. Grim was surprisingly flexible, so is Leo. The two eventually leaped back, only to clash again. With Grim's weapon, he should be at a disadvantage when it comes to close combat. But that doesn't seem to be a problem for him. He can play well with his scythe and fight back when Leo's swinging his sword.

Due to Leo's overexcitement, he inadvertently loosen his grip to his sword. Grim had shot him three vertical slashes. His sword propped onto the ground. There's no time to pick up his sword, the attacks are coming. He leaped to the side, distancing himself from his sword. Too distracted by his sword, he notice it late that Grim had already dashed towards his direction.

"Shit!" He cursed under his breath.

He glanced at Grim. The latter doesn't have his scythe with him. Grim leaved it from where he came from. Leo used both arm to block Grim's clenched tight fist. Leo groaned as he stopped himself from getting push even more.

Even before Leo was able to recover, Grim immediately followed with another blow to his side. He groaned to the pain when Grim's fist connected to his flank. Leo was thrown wildly away. He was rolling vigorously. The two of them were outside the Dark Palace. Grim wouldn't be able to afford having his place get destroyed. Leo slid, stopping himself from rolling even more.

"You've got me there." Leo was wiping off the dirt that got on his clothes. He has no intention on picking up his sword, so is Grim. He engaged in a hand to hand combat against Grim. Leo reached out for Grim. His hand was parried, Grim pushing his arm to the side.

Grim could smell how excited Leo is. It pours out of him. It reaches up and stuffs itself into his nose. He wanted to make eye contact. He wanted to see the burning exhilaration. He saw Leo's eyes and made sure he meets them -- he wants to be associated with this. It's clearly something he takes pleasure in. Leo's fist clutter on his face and he almost put a hole in his stomach. It was compelling. Still and all, he was barely pushed back. He absorbed the impact of the punch to lessen the damage he would take. Even so, it still hurts.
