Ciaran Vs. Ma'grin (1)

(A/N)

This fight will be done in the 3rd person, and it will be from a general POV. That means I'm not going to go into the fighter's inner thoughts, just what we can observe. Let me know what you think of the fight, as it will be my first time writing an actual fight scene. Thank you!

--------------------------------------------------------------

"Kill him." Ma'grin ordered as he gave Ciaran a cruel grin.

Immediately twelve demons charged him with bloodthirsty grins. Ciaran, upon seeing the demons charging him, sighed.

"Fall in the face of my power." Ciaran calmly said and snapped.

Suddenly twelve spikes rose out of the ground, impaling all twelve demons and lifting them into the air.

"Neat trick." Ma'grin said as he stepped forward

Not wasting a moment, Ciaran empowered his legs. Causing him to move with explosive speed and charged Ma'grin.

Anticipating the attack, Ma'grin calmly raised his sword as he casted a spell on it, engulfing it in flames. Without a moment's hesitation, he charged Ciaran and swung his sword like a club.

The clash between the two sent out shock waves, and the captured students witnessed the battle. All were stunned as a boy who had yet to attend the royal academy was facing off against a powerful demon lord.

"Your pretty good." Ma'grin paused as their swords clashed. "For a human, that is." He added as he stomped on the ground.

Ciaran, noticing the strange movement below him, immediately jumped to create distance. But it was too late as a fire pillar shot out of the ground.

"Shadow Armor." He said, and his whole body was engulfed in shadows.

Taking the hit. He was sent roughly five meters away and crashed into a small house, and without a moment's rest, he immediately raised his sword to defend himself from Ma'grin's furious onslaught.

Slowly Ciaran was getting pushed back, this was the strongest being he had fought against, and the demon was giving him very little time to act. It was all he could do to defend himself.

Thankfully, he had casted his shadow armor, which could absorb the attacks that did make it through his defenses. But the impact was still affecting him, and with just moments of distraction, he missed the foot that slammed into his side—sending him across the field into another house.

Head ringing and seeing double for a moment. Ciaran shook his head as he tried to regain his senses, only to hear a burst of cruel laughter.

"Is that it, human?" Ma'grin asked as he laughed. "All-father said I needed to be wary of you." He added

Ciaran had noticed what Ma'grin had said but now wasn't the time.

Wiping the blood from his mouth, Ciaran unsteadily stood up and began making his way toward the demon.

"Do you need a break, human?" Ma'grin taunted, seeing the unsteady Ciaran.

"Shadow lock!" Ciaran suddenly shouted.

It lasted barely half a second as Ma'grin quickly broke out of the lock. But it lasted just long enough for Ciaran to get in close and slashed upward, opening a large wound on his chest.

Looking down at his wounded chest in surprise, Ma'grin was about to retort when Ciaran rushed him, and now it was his turn to be on the defensive. Every time he would go to block an attack, Ciaran would flow around his sword like a river and manage to wound him even further, causing black ichor to splash all over the ground.

Ciaran was unwilling to give up this advantage and continued pushing himself further and mixing spells with his sword attack, causing Ma'grin to become even more off-balance, getting even more wounded in the process.

"Enough!" Ma'grin yelled as he used his triumph card

Unleashing his full demonic powers caused a shock wave sending Ciaran flying backward. Dusting himself off, he looked at Ma'grin and noticed that he had grown even taller, and the horns in his head grew longer, and now there was no fire between them.

"I'm impressed." Ma'grin said with a much deeper voice than before, "No human has pushed me this far before." He added before vanishing.

With no time to act, it was all Ciaran could do to shield himself as he was sent flying nearly twenty meters back, crashing through two more houses.

Coughing up a mouthful of blood, Ciaran had no time to react when Ma'grin grabbed him by the face and threw him through another building.

Shadow… blink" Ciaran mumbled, fighting to stay conscious, and disappeared.

"Hide and seek, little human?" Ma'grin asked with a deep voice and rushed off to find Ciaran.

Stumbling out of one of the student's shadows, he had marked earlier with his shadow tendrils. He fell to his knees as he coughed up even more blood, scaring the students even more.

"Did you defeat that demon?" One of the students asked as they approached Ciaran.

"Not… yet." Ciaran struggled to say through labored breathing.

Suddenly everyone felt immense pressure, and many students fainted as a result.

"Found you." Ma'grin said as he appeared a few meters away from everyone and charged.

"Get lost." Ciaran said and activated a spell, transporting all the students who were unprepared and screamed as they disappeared.

"Saving your fellow humans, how considerate." Ma'grin said as he slowly clapped his hand

"I don't want them to see what's about to happen." Ciaran said as he unleashed his triumph card.
