rematch

[congrats you have evolved into an Imp]

as that message appeared the black cacoon of energy broke releasing Leo whose skin had turned from a pale tan to an ashy gray. his muscles were more reformed than before and his eyes held a new darkness instead of their sky blue color now held a deep blood-red color.

The goblin watched as Leo stepped out of his cacoon. With an annoyed look on the goblin's face, it dashed toward Leo. Quickly reacting to this Leo summoned his sword and stepped slightly to the side to dodge and attack the goblin's arm.

The goblin continued forward not expecting to be dodged slamming into the wall of the dungeon behind them. Once the debris had cleared the goblin stood staring into Leo's red eyes. The goblin scoffed as it ran toward Leo swinging its left arm at him. Leo quickly reacted by blocking with his sword.

As his sword connected with the goblin fist a cobweb of cracks spread all over the blade. A new window appeared in front of Leo's eyes. 

[Warning Unnamed Katana is at 2/11 durability]

Seeing this Leo de-summoned his sword. As the sword disappeared into him as sparks of light the goblin threw another punch at Leo. Without time to dodge the fist landed on his face sending him flying back a few feet. Once he stopped sliding back and got his footing Leo took a deep breath before dashing at the goblin swinging a punch of his own.

As the blow connected the goblin was sent back a few feet. Looking down at his fist the skin on his hand had been torn with bits of blood coming out after a few seconds though the skin had fully healed on his hand. Looking back up Leo had no time to respond as he was launched back flying through the air until slamming onto the dungeon wall.

Leo had started to regain his balance when the goblin grabbed Leo by the throat and began to slam him into the wall repeatedly. Feeling the air being beaten out of him Leo desperately started to scratch the goblin's arms. Blood started to pour from the goblin's arm as more cuts appeared but as if he couldn't even feel it the goblin continued to slam Leo against the wall. Hearing his bones slowly giving out against the constant slamming against the wall Leo started to desperately try to think of a different way out of his situation.

However the longer Leo tried thinking of a solution the more his vision started to darken as his body was slowly giving way to the constant beating he was getting. His pupils started to slowly lose their color becoming duller. A new window appeared in front of Leo.

[Warning health 2/15]

Seeing this message Leo's eyes began to refocus. Looking forward he saw the goblins face with a wide grin already knowing that he had won the fight.

Leo mustered all the strength he had left lifting both hands and grabbing the arm the goblin had a hold of him by. Then in the next moment, Leo's eyes shaped into two black slits as he gripped the arm with all his strength. Not long after a loud reverberating crunch sounded throughout the whole dungeon as the goblins arm was shattered from Leo's grip. The goblin quickly retreated.

Finally getting a breather Leo flopped forward vomiting several mouthfuls of blood along with parts of shattered bone. After catching his breath Leo rose back to his feet staring at the goblin.

Knowing that whoever would get the advantage in this next confrontation could decide the victor and loser both were on high alert not daring to let their guard down for a second.

A stillness could be felt throughout the air as neither of them moved and the only sound that could be heard was restless breathing from Leo and the drops of blood from the goblin's mangled arm.

However, this was just the calmness before the storm as in the next second both lept toward each other. With the goblin's right arm destroyed Leo guarded his left side. Noticing this the goblin scoffed before dealing a devastating blow to his right side side with a kick to his ribs.

Feeling a sharp pain Leo gritted his teeth as he slammed his fist into the left of the goblin but before the goblin could recover Leo kept landing punch after punch. The goblin started punching back with his left arm but Leo didn't stop knowing if he did he would surely die.

The fight between them escalated to fight to see who would die first.

However, after four minutes of constant punches, the goblin's bones gave way to Leo's persistence. Cracking and shattering beneath Leo's fiery.

After another minute of punches, a new screen appeared in front of Leo's face.
