"Rocky Yadav.... Death has come knocking for you–" said a powerful voice from near the entrance of the second floor, as Rocky turned to see Perseus for the first time in his life.
In terms of looks, Perseus did indeed look a lot like Sophia with the two having striking sibling resemblance.
He had the same brown hair, the same sea green eyes and bronze skin shade that looked like he was always tanned.
Upon seeing him for the first time, Rocky immediately uncovered his identity, without needing an introduction, however, what baffled Rocky was the question of why had he come here all alone? And not with his forces?
"Errr....." Rocky mumbled in confusion, as before Perseus could make a single additional comment about Rocky, it was AceKing and a bunch of other tier5 Elites, who moved past Rocky to face Perseus.
"So I assume you're the one who ordered the kidnapping of Riva to take place–
Good that you walked here out of your own volition.
Because there is no chance in hell that you walk out of here alive" AceKing said, with fury evident in his voice as it was at this moment that Perseus realized that he had fucked up.
In his rage to hunt down Rocky, he had completely forgotten about the fact that Rocky was not alone and that the brave warriors of the True Elites Guild were accompanying him in the underground prison.
This mistake led to an awkward scenario for Perseus where there were at least a dozen tier5 opponents glaring murderously towards him, while he stood there all alone.
"Move, mortals, make a path for me to face Rocky Yadav, or I shall cut you all down" Perseus said authoritatively trying to project his strength, however, his words did not deter the Elite warriors and instead only enraged them even more.
Closing in the gap between their ranks so that Perseus could not even see the silhouette of Rocky, they made their intentions to protect him clear, as Perseus was forced to nervously gulp down a mouthful of saliva.
"Is that.... Sophia's brother? They look similar" Buhara asked, noticing the striking resemblance, as Rocky nodded in acknowledgement.
Lunging forward, AceKing aimed a series of precise strikes at Perseus, but each one was parried effortlessly by the Olympian who was visibly far stronger and faster than his counterpart.
*Dodge*
*Dodge*
*Block*
*Parry*
Perseus moved with fluid grace, his sword weaving a defensive dance that kept the AceKing's offense at bay.
Soon, the four Elites who had initially been pushed back rejoined the assault, teaming up with their squad leader to attack Perseus, however, although the number of opponents that he was facing increased, Perseus still did not seem like he was breaking a sweat as despite their numbers and synchronized attacks, the Elites found themselves unable to land a single blow.
Perseus's mastery over his sword and spells was overwhelming. He flowed through the fight like water itself, dodging and countering with an ease that seemed almost supernatural.
"You won't leave this prison floor alive, Perseus! You picked on the Elites and now you must pay the price for it" Aceking declared sounding angry and frustrated, however, his words seemed without any merit, as let alone killing Perseus, he found it hard to even catch his silhouette.
"You overestimate your strength, mortal." Perseus said, smirking, as he deflected yet another blow from AceKing using his wrist.
The battle between the two groups raged on for several minutes, but it became clear that Perseus was in control.
He hadn't taken a single hit despite the Elites constantly switching positions amongst one another and coming at him with relentless speed and power, as his confidence to win this fight grew with each passing moment.
The Elites, though skilled and relentless, were slowly being worn down by him alone, while he himself was not even close to reaching his limits.
"Behold weaklings.... This is the difference between children of gods and mortals" Perseus declared as he prepared for a big move, sending alarm bells ringing in AceKing's head, as he felt the concentration of the mana sharply change in the air surrounding him.
