The Fortress of the Chosen part 2 (V)

What happened to the aura from before? Does it really was just pretending to be calm when in reality is a sadistic? His last movement appeared out of nowhere, if I wasn't paying attention I would have died on that instant.

What can I do in this situation? Why did I ended up on this? I just wanted to know the state of the world and finish this on a peaceful manner.

No, I doubt that I can reason with someone so out of his mind, in the end everyone is crazier than the last.

I don't think I can trust his words, but in reality is much better a one on one scenario that go against all his cult. Either way I can't run away being in the top of this building with every minion on the lower floors.

Victor is the leader of all of them so he must be stronger than the rest, I must gather all the determination I can and decide. If I have to die, then it'll be for a good cause, I refuse to do it without giving my best and endure until the end.

Yes, is moment to fight for the last time.

"Okay, I accept your challenge. I'll defeat you here and now!"

I raised my leg kicking his stomach and take advantage to back up a bit.

Luckily I confirmed before that my glove is capable of resisting another weapon similar as his greatsword and remain intact. It's unknown for me how much time I can keep going like this, maybe a powerful impact might break it, I don't know. The best strategy is to keep my distance.

Activating my thumb skill I step back evading his cuts. He came with great strength and despite of having a giant weapon he was able to strike quite agile using only one hand. I'm limited to see his movements and turn to a side when it's necessary.

I continue on this way for some time waiting for a chance to counterattack... thing that doesn't come. He doesn't have an opening, is like he spent years mastering his claymore and he has become so familiar with it that is another extension of his body. With no option left I called my sword.

"Ehh, so the rumour was truth" said apparently surprised. "You really are a user of 2 weapons... in that case, show me what you can do"

He kept on pushing and going forward. Thanks to my dexterity I managed to block his attacks with my sword no matter how fast they are, each time they connect I'm feeling as little cuts keep appearing on my skin.

He must possess some kind of power that let him do damage without the necessity of touching my flesh.

I'll try once again to appeal to his humanity.

"Victor, stop! I don't want to fight, I'm just looking for answers. Tell me, do you know something about the day of the Apocalypse?"

"Even if I knew, why should I tell you? Your just a weakling that thinks too much about himself. Men like you should stay on the lower steps and be of use to the others"

"That's really what you believe? What about the rest of the people?"

"The normal should kneel down and beg for mercy if they want any chance to survive in this new world"

"Victor!"

It's no use, there is no way we come to an agreement. My only chance is to defeat him and finish his realm of terror.

I started to advance diverting his greatsword with my glove and attacking with my sword, with my dexterity it's quite easy for me to do it.

Every one of his attacks that I managed to dodge makes me get a little closer, I'm understanding bit by bit his fighting patterns. When I was close enough I grabbed the edge of his claymore with my fist and with my other hand I tried to trust my weapon into his chest.

He reacted on time pushing me away, even so I was able to cut his side. It wasn't so deep, but still I managed to hurt him. Victor checks his wound and wipe out the blood, next he raised his head to show a gloomy look.

"I see you have potential, you're the first person that has touched me. Although... don't let that gets to your head!"

In that instant his left palm begins to shine. In front of him a greatshield of cyan colour materialized.

"You also have two!?" I yelled on surprise.

"It's time you understand who is the boss here"
