Chapter 644: Divine abilities and martial arts i

Varnikar endures the shockwave that sweeps through him, making sure that his attack would connect

In that moment he forces it and some of the bones on his foot breaks and he could feel the pressure trying to collapse him down. 

But he was stubbornly resisting all for this one attack.

He needed one more attack to equalize the field. He had no weapon. But Arial still have his.

For it to be equal, Arial must be stripped off of his weapon. If not, he would be in too much of a disadvantageous position. 

His direction of attack is Arial right hand. In that moment, he changes his direction and his feet sweeps to Arial right hand. 

Arial immediately knows Varnikar plans so he moves his sword away. That alone is hard to do. Around them lightning and thunder intertwines and both of them could feel the heat.

Arial armor had already been scratched and the lower bottom of Varnikar boot had already become torn up

But he managed to leave some distance between his sword and Varnikar kick.

'Not so easy' Arial thought. He already thought that the attack had failed.

But he could see that Varnikar is still smiling amidst the gust of wind that began to try to push them away from each other. 

'You thought you are safe?' Varnikar thought to himself. 

Even as Arial had distance his sword, from the range of his kick, Varnikar is still calm. That is because he already expected it.

And even with that kind of distance, Varnikar is confident that he could kick the sword away from Arial hands.

He kicks forward and Arial was confused. Even if he kicks, the kick would not reach the range of his hand

But then he saw it

Wind is gathering on the tip of his feet.

It was like magic. 

The element seems to gather on the tip of feet and it gathers extremely fast. 

Even as the sweeping motion is not yet completed, Arial could sense a powerful energy is gathering on the tip of Varnikar feet.

And then Arial immediately understand what Varnikar is doing.

'Shit' that is the only thought he have as the motion is completed. 

A powerful gust of wind that ripped apart the ground wherever that gust of wind passes kicks the sword from Arial hand.

And Varnikar twist his own wrist, the sound of bones snapping could be heard again but Varnikar did not show any expression of pain

Instead he laughs as both of them were forced backward from each other.

Arial somersaulted backwards and landed with grace like a crane while Varnikar seems to glide backwards, the force of Arial attack is dispelled with each step he takes backward.

All of this exchanges of attack and methods happens in the blink of an eye. 

To the people of the wall what they see was simply Arial clashing with Varnikar one moment and suddenly they saw Varnikar claymore flew backward in a straight line and a second later the same thing happens to their lord sword.

And at the same time, they saw the lightning that is clashing around the area

The difference was that even though the claymore of Varnikar was kick backward and flew to such an incredible distance, it did not break. 

The same thing could not be said for their lord sword which crack and broke almost immediately after

To the untrained eyes, they could not see how many strikes and blows that were traded in that brief moment of time. 

They only see a clash, the weapons flying and the two combatant suddenly distancing from each other.

Even Giovanni who had uses his inner energy and channel it to his eyes to look at the battle had a hard time following the movement of the two combatants.

Arial and Varnikar both lost their weapons in that exchange. Arial look at Varnikar as he clenches his fist

His hand was trembling just now. the force of Varnikar attack is very powerful that it surprises him. 

As for Varnikar one of his hand is broken. 

But he then raises his hand and using his other hand, he twists his hand to the right direction. 

The sound of the bone snapping could once again be heard.

Varnikar ability of regeneration must not be underestimated.

Arial himself quickly heals the injury on his knee. There is deep pulsing bruise on his knee and a few broken bones.

He could still feel his feet vibrating. 

The fact that Varnikar could even wound him like this shows Arial that this old man is truly a great warrior.

But this did not weaken his fighting spirit. 

Instead, he become even more fiery. 

Right now, both of them did not have their weapons. Varnikar claymore is around forty meters away.  As for Arial sword it had already broken

Right now the weapon they have is their fist and feet. Varnikar look more carefully at Arial

'I am fifty percent sure now' 

There is excitement in his heart right now. he closes his eyes, takes a deep breath and then when he opens it back up he raises his palm.

He is fifty percent sure. He just now has to make it one hundred percent certainty. Both him and Arial knows that it would not be long now to decide who wins and who loses.

Giovanni who as on the area of the gate clench his fist. His heart is anxious.

On the walls, looking at this battle and seeing all of the mystical things that had happened since the beginning of the battle, he frowned and his eyebrows creased.

'This is cutting it very close. The Emperor must not die here' he thought to himself. 

Thinking of this he quickly goes down the wall and the moment he is on the round again, he jumps on his horse.

Taking the reins, he rides his horse toward the gate. In just a few second she already almost reached the gate

His soldiers are still in the outer city. They were too shocked by the sudden departure of their general.

But they also did not dare to make any moves. Since the General did not give any order for them to move.

Some people think that the general is about to aid the Emperor. 

Not everyone could see the scene that the soldiers on the walls could see. 

Right now it appears like their lord has the advantage but in battle, it is not over until it is truly over.

Santiago had been trying to remain calm all of this time. 

While his inner energy is not as strong as Giovanni, he could still use it to look at the battle near the bridge even though it is far away.

He had been clenching his fist and his heart is beating like the fierce hooves of a warhorses riding in the open plains.

He tries to believe that his lord would win. 

But after seeing thunder and lightning, seeing the movement of the wind that does not make sense, he slowly fears that the Emperor might not have a handle on this

There is too much at stake for the Emperor to dies here. 

So, he decided to interfere and be ready. 

On the area near the gate, sitting on his horse, Giovani who was paying attention to the battle suddenly heard the hurried hooves of a horse riding toward the gate. 

He immediately looks behind him and in the distance he could see it was Santiago riding his warhorse, carrying his spear like he was about to engage in a battle.

One glance and Giovanni could see what Santiago is trying to do.

'idiot!' he thought to himself. 

Santiago doing this is basically defying the imperial order. 

Giovani sighed and then he kicks the side of his horse as his horse rides toward the direction of Santiago. 

Giovanni could not see how the battle is being fought as he had to handle Santiago suddenly wanting to interfere in the battle

Near the area of the bridge however, there is silence between the two combatant. They seem to be staring at each other.

They did not talk to each other but their eyes look at each other and if anyone could look closely, every once in a while, Varnikar and Arial, both of them would have some small movements. 

Sometimes it is a twitch on the shoulders, sometimes it is the moving of the feet and sometimes they retreated a few inches from the original position.

Right now, they seem to have a mental battle. 

Their eyes look at each other body movement. Seeing blind spots and rectifying the movement at that very moment so that the enemy could not strike an attack.

This is high level method of fighting and only masters could do it like Arial and Varnikar.

Above them thunder and lightning is still very much present. 

Every once in while the lightning would flash and illuminate the faces of these two combatants under the dark clouds.

Sometimes thunderbolts would strike down.
