Chapter 2000 Fight Against Surtr I

"You want to fight with me?" Adrian stated as he pointed towards himself as he did not know whether it was serious, or the godlike entity was joking.

"Yes! You are the Champion of the Twin Gods! A fighter meant to represent the two most powerful gods in this universe. Show me how the chosen being of the two fights!" The Fire Giant Surtr stated with anticipation as he was bored beyond belief.

"This god is bored beyond belief, and he is not looking at me as if I am the best source of entertainment he has for years." Adrian thought and he is actually correct.

Adrian looked like he was contemplating because he knows that a battle against a god like the Fire Giant Surtr would end his life without even a chance to fight back. He can entertain the idea of fighting, but he does not like getting destroyed one-sidedly. Even the Fire Giant Surtr must be thinking of the same circumstances as Adrian which is why the former let him think.

"As much as I would like to fight the Fire Giant Surtr, I believe that I am very much outclassed when it comes to power alone. I would not be a great combat partner as I will most likely die with just one hit from your sword." Adrian stated honestly as he knew that combat with a god of the Fire Giant Surtr's level is basically suicide at this point.

"If that is what you think then I shall limit my own power to what you currently have. I will humble myself in order to see what the fighting capabilities of the Champion of the Twin Gods have when it comes to being that is at the same power level as him. That is my offer that I wish you do not refuse." The Fire Giant Surtr stated with all seriousness.

"I guess I cannot weasel myself out of this when his determination is hot like lava. This is why I do not like gods of the fire element as they are rather passionate or hot tempered. Were they the origin of why fire is considered passionate, or they became like that because they are fire gods?" Adrian thought as he can only resign to his fate.

"If the Fire Giant Surtr is willing to humble himself for someone like me then I shall accept the request for a spar." Adrian stated as he knew that they will not get out without the Fire Giant Surtr's approval.

"That is such fiery music to my ears. Make sure that you give it your best as I shall make sure to give my best given my own sealed abilities." The Fire Giant Surtr stated as Adrian already knew that this was his goal all along.

Adrian might feel the divinity so powerful emanating from the body of the Fire Giant Surtr, but he also sensed that it was already sealed to be at the same power level as him. The Fire Giant Surtr was actually anticipating that Adrian would decline on the notion of their different power levels. It is also the reason why both Adrian and Piggy Bank did not turn to ash as soon as they saw the body of the Fire Giant Surtr.

Adrian merely did some footwork and aimed for the Fire Giant Surtr's head. He thought that he might actually win at this rate, but he did not expect that the Fire Giant Surtr would burst into flames. The flames that he generated would then coalesce into another location that recreated the Fire Giant Surtr's entire body.

"That is a bit unfair." Adrian stated as he thought that his attack would connect.

"I have to even the playing field a little bit seeing that my enemy is a demon that can easily traverse space." The Fire Giant Surtr stated with a laugh.

Adrian did not say anything and immediately activated Chrono Shift towards him. Adrian's increased speed astonished the Fire Giant Surtr, but the latter was resolute. The Fire Giant Surtr did not even use any skill to buff himself, but he stomped his foot on the ground. With just a stomp, a slight shockwave rearranged the very ground itself which actually made Adrian lose some footing but that cannot perfectly stop him.

"Chrono Lag." Adrian stated as his body that was supposed to fall face flat on the ground suddenly made a slow-motion action.

"Chrono Shift." Adrian added as soon as he was in the perfect position.

With a kick of his right foot, Adrian shot towards the Fire Giant Surtr like a bullet with his swords on both sides of his arms. The Fire Giant Surtr saw this and laughed heartily as if his battle spirit was ignited. The Fire Giant Surtr did not do anything else but to also charge forward to meet Adrian's charge. The two of them inevitably clashed against one another and a powerful shockwave engulfed the area.

All of the crowd watching suddenly erupted in excitement as the two beings sparring in front of them could be seen knocked back. Adrian was knocked back five meters while the Fire Giant Surtr was knocked back by about two meters. The distance from where they originated may have been different but that does not mean that both have the same result.

Crack!

A small cracking sound could be heard, and its source was none other than the armor that the Fire Giant Surtr was wearing. Shock could be seen in the face of the audience as they did not see what happened clearly. Even the Fire Giant Surtr did not observed it properly as well, but he knew what Adrian did. As soon as both of them clashed against each other, Adrian only used one sword to meet the Fire Giant Surtr's weapon.

With the clashing of the weapon of the two, Adrian immediately did three things. He applied Chrono Shift on himself again, applied Chrono Lag onto the Fire Giant Surtr, and stopped time in order to use his other sword to deal damage. Adrian only had a small timeframe to do this, but he managed to pull it off with his determination. Piggy Bank was looking at Adrian and he saw that his friend was smiling but the smile did not resemble the Equinox that he knows. It was a smile that looked as if he was enjoying everything that is happening now.
