"This..." The audience became silent. "Isn't Ragna fighting better than expected?" "But didn't Tarkan manage to blow him away earlier?" "But Ragna counter-attacked and almost hit his throat..." The people were sucking a cold breath. They thought that the battle would become one-sided. "No, no. This is just the beginning. There's no way Tarkan has unleashed all his abilities." "Y-yeah. The battle will progress soon and..." The people suddenly fell silent. There were a lot of noises in the arena. However, the situation was actually the opposite of what they had in mind. "Kh." Tarkan kept blocking Ragna's attacks from his spear while maintaining a certain distance so that Ragna didn't attack him with his shield. Instead of Tarkan gradually getting the upper hand, Ragna was actually suppressing Tarkan. Ragna's thrusts were swift and precise, causing Tarkan to have a hard time blocking them. Tarkan couldn't help but think, 'As expected, he is like those abnormal people. I didn't notice it earlier, but when I first launched him away, he actually jumped slightly so that it was possible. He even positioned himself so that, while flying, he wouldn't hit a pillar. This Ragna is much stronger than Erwin's analysis.' Tarkan deflected another thrust and punched forward. Surprisingly, Tarkan did the same thing with his shield, causing the clash to actually neutralize each other's force. "What rumors? You're this strong?" Tarkan grinned in frustration. Their strength was actually equal. Even though he focused more on his technique unlike Gilza, it didn't change the fact that he had Muscle Affinity. On the other hand, Ragna had a Bones Affinity, which boosted his defensive power. He should be stronger than Ragna. But the reality couldn't be any more different. He threw the rocks toward Ragna. "Kh!" Ragna gritted his teeth and tried to block most of them with his shield midair. As soon as Ragna landed, Tarkan ran toward him at full speed and jumped into the air while extending his foot forward. Ragna knew how much momentum he had and the force he would produce in such a situation, so he chose to dodge. At the same time, Ragna turned around and thrust his spear, trying to get Tarkan. However, Tarkan simply crushed the pillar and escaped from the spear's reach. He landed right after and grabbed the stones, throwing them again at Ragna. With a more stable position, Ragna easily blocked all those rocks without taking a single step. But Tarkan used that chance to close the distance between them and did the same thing. Seeing the momentum wasn't as fast as the previous kick, Ragna stomped the ground and moved forward, smashing his shield on the foot. Bam! The ground underneath them cracked and Tarkan's momentum was completely stopped. 'This is it.' Ragna stepped to the side, trying to stab Tarkan the moment he landed on the ground. To his surprise, Tarkan actually raised the other leg and stomped on the upper's part of the shield, which actually anchored his position on top of the shield. "!!!" Ragna raised his head, finding Tarkan tilting his body down and ready to punch him. "Kh!" Ragna hurriedly let go of his spear so that he could retract his arm, protecting his head. Tarkan ended up hitting his arm. This should be enough to push back the arm and injure the head, but Ragna actually lowered his body even further, following the momentum of that punch so that the arm didn't touch his head at all. 'He's too good.' Tarkan gritted his teeth. Even in such an advantageous position and taking Ragna by surprise, he still couldn't injure him.
