Xavier checked out Scheta's strikingly red body. It appeared as if the blood in Scheta's body was burning up in order to boost his strength.
...
The clash in between them was thrilling to watch. A punch from Scheta bled Rae's body but it healed before the next attack.
Scheta too had a similar level of regeneration. His punches and kicks seemed to have burst effect too, causing Rae to be flung away from the impact of the attack.
The battle was brutal and raw!
Xavier watching them from the distance could not help but have reverence and respect in his eyes for the man in front.
This was raw physical strength! They were fighting eachother without any sneaky or a mysterious spell.
'Who seems to be winning? From the looks of it, Rae is getting thrown out a lots.' Xavier thought, trying to guess the flow of the battle. He wanted to see Scheta win because that was the only way he could claim for the contribution points.
Seeing Rae continuously being thrown around, he rejoiced, hoping for this to end quickly.
'But at the same time, his strength and regeneration is also similar to that of Scheta's. Even though Scheta had already activated his secret technique.' Xavier thought, the attack from Rae's side did not seem to be any weaker than Scheta's.
Surprisingly, the rapid healing of the injury to their bodies were also on the same level, making it hard for Xavier to guess the winner.
'Did the curse spell not take affect? I didn't exactly know of its properties, but I was sure that the artifact would severely reduce his bodily functions.' Xavier recalled the time he successfully placed the curse on Rae.
The artifact should have decreased his strength by a lot. Low enough for Xavier to successfully kill Rae. But there seemed to be no affect on Rae, at least not from the physical strength.
'Did the curse not work or is it that the artifact did take effect but Rae still retained this much of his strength...' Xavier was shocked as he came to a terrifying conclusion.
Using his dangerously high strength and endurance, Rae lifted Scheta in a princess carry before bringing him down on his knee, breaking Scheta's spine with a cracking noise!!
"No way!!!" Xavier uttered in shock. He was surprised, shocked that Rae broke Scheta's spine with such ease, almost crippling his opponent with one move.
Rae turned around, glancing at Xavier, just from the sound of the words he uttered in shock just now, Rae was able to sense him.
Honestly, Xavier was scared after the scene just now. But Rae had noticed his presence which made tempted to go and fight it out against Rae, claiming the kill on both Rae and Scheta.
Since, he was found out by Rae anyways, then he might as well just go on and try his luck otherwise, he would be targeted by a level four warrior after that guy recovers.
"It's either now or never!!!" Xavier muttered as he rushed to the scene of battle. He was full of strength and he believed that he had a good shot at killing both of the level four warriors.
"Ooooooo" Xavier shouted using all his energy, risking his body to kill Rae in one shot. As for Scheta, Xavier believed that it would be easy to finish him after he gets done with Rae.
Splurt!!
Blood splashed from the brutal clash, remains of bloody curly black hair splattered.
"Ohh you are still alive?? I thought you would have given in to the pain. Your spine must be hurting real bad no? Let me relieve you of the pain."
Rae said looking at Scheta who had already recovered from all the injuries, though the strength in his body seemed to have dissipated after this final recovery.
Rae pulled out a small fist sized bead from under his shirt, the bloodstone was placed closed to his heart. Just in case he needed to use the artifact in emergency.
Since, it was his first time figuring out a level four warrior, not to mention it was a famed Arista warrior.
