Danny stepped into the arena with his colossal axe on his shoulder. Klaus smiled and then retrieved a meter-long spear from his space ring.
Anna, Lily, Hanna, Mark, Kay, and Kilian raised an eyebrow, watching Klaus take out a weapon. Even Klaus's mom, Miriam, and Ohema had the same expression. He had just tanked a hammer with his bare hands, but now he was taking out a weapon... intriguing.
"I would have been worried if he went at that axe with his bare hands," Klaus's mom said with a small smile. For a second, she thought Klaus would be using his bare hands.
The next weapon he would face wasn't something he could handle with his bare hands just yet. Although he could defend against a sharp weapon by coating his hands with ice, the one Danny was carrying was just too heavy for him to do that.
The hammer had a large surface area that allowed him to casually use his hand, but the axe lacked that, so he needed a weapon to channel his strength through.
"Don't hold back," Klaus said to him, and as if possessed, Danny charged with his axe in full swing. At first glance, one could tell Danny wasn't holding back his strength. The axe rose and fell on Klaus, who casually blocked with the spear.
"You can do better than that," Klaus said, and Danny responded by charging forward again exganging dozens of blows.
Unlike Daniel, who had the fire element, Danny possessed the light element. This limited his elemental offensive abilities, but it also granted him something even better.
His body glowed for a second, and like a new person, all the fatigue he was feeling vanished, giving him newfound strength to charge at Klaus, who stood with a smile on his face.
'I guess the senior was right. Although he can't use the offensive power of his element just yet, he can at least heal himself, which allows him to stay in the fight a little longer,' Klaus thought inwardly, swinging his spear forward.
His spear met Danny's axe, creating a booming sound that sent shockwaves around.
"Is it just me, or is Danny not getting tired?" Mark said, watching Danny unleash his 59th brute attack with the same energy as at the start. They expected him to be tired by now, considering he was putting all of his strength into it.
"I think it has something to do with his light element" Anna replied after studying what Danny was doing.
"That makes sense" Mark nodded.
Klaus shifted his stance, preparing for Danny's next move. Danny's eyes shone with determination. He gripped the axe tighter and swung again. Klaus deflected the blow, sending sparks flying.
Danny never backed down, and since Klaus wasn't attacking him yet, he continued to come at him with all his strength.
Klaus admired Danny's resilience. Only a few could match his stamina.
Mark was blocking the attacks while trying to stabilize himself, but Klaus wasn't making it easy for him at all.
Just when Mark managed to block an attack and aimed to regain his footing, Klaus's next strike would throw him off balance again.
'They need good movement techniques. I guess I'll add one for them,' Klaus thought. He had dozens of such techniques, thanks to Yuying.
For 30 minutes, Mark Mark was moving between offense and defense due to the sheer intensity of Klaus's attacks. Enjoy new chapters from empire
Mark wasn't having it easy at all. His friends, who were yet to fight, watched with tense faces, breaking into a cold sweat just from witnessing the match.
Klaus pressed on, his spear moving with precision and force. Mark's arms trembled under the strain of each block. He clenched his jaw, refusing to give up. But the fatigue was evident, and Klaus noticed it.
"Come on, Mark! Show me your best!" Klaus shouted, delivering a powerful downward strike. Mark barely managed to block, his knees buckling under the force.
Finally, Klaus delivered a strong blow that knocked Mark's spear from his hand. Mark stumbled but stayed on his feet, panting hard.
"Good fight," Klaus said. "However, you never had the chance to use the skill I gave you. Do you want to try it?"
Mark looked up, eyes determined despite his exhaustion. He nodded, reaching for his spear that lay a few feet away. He picked it up and took a deep breath, centering himself.
"Good," Klaus said, stepping back to give Mark space. "Activate it when you're ready."
Mark calmed his beating heart and activated the skill. Instantly, his spear vanished and reappeared a second later, looking much sharper.
Mark gripped it tightly, and with a powerful charge, he thrust his spear forward. His speed had increased, making him move incredibly fast.
Boom.
Klaus also stabbed with his spear, and as if by coincidence, the tips of their spears met, sending shockwaves through the arena.
Mark was sent flying back, landing on the ground with a thud. Klaus, on the other hand, stayed rooted to the spot, barely shifting.
"Not bad," Klaus said, nodding as he felt the vibration in his spear.
