The World We Do Not Know - 110 Veteran Vs Rookie

“Oni Iaido!” Faust lowers the sword on his hip forward, draws the sword out by holding the handle and instantly withdraws the sword back before the whole blade is exposed.

A powerful slash travelled through the air towards Garuda at a high speed. The attack travelled at the speed of a bullet but produced by a sword. But Garuda evades the attack by swiftly moving to his left.

At the same time as Garuda dodged it by moving to his left, Faust is waiting behind him with his sword, he swings his sword and Garuda leaps forward with great speed barely dodging it,

“Tsk?” Faust gets frustrated as his attacks keep missing Garuda.

“No doubt about it! It is teleportation.” Hades utters out.

“Did Ares also have this ability?” Leviathan asks in a surprise since many things are matching and common between Ares and Faust.

*No! He cannot, he never did, but, even though this kid can teleport, he seems to be slow.” Hades replies while observing Faust.

“Are you thinking that if you could try a little harder, you can catch up to me in speed? It is not that easy kid!” Garuda smiles as a portal opens on his side.

He pulls out two black gloves which have metal spikes on the top. And in between the spikes on top of his hand, appears to be a purple stone and an orange stone

Purple stone on his right glove and orange one on his left. *”The purple stone on gloves than on a rifle? Is he going to electrocute me by holding me with those gloves? And that orange stone.”* Faust thinks to himself.

“Doesn’t matter! I will break your other leg too and wipe the floor with you.” Faust takes off without wasting a second. He clearly remembers that the orange stone is a healing stone that heals your body, he cannot afford to give time for Garuda to heal himself.

Faust teleports behind Garuda again, Garuda swiftly turns back to stop the blade with the metal spikes on his gloves. Before the sword touches the spikes of the gloves, Faust teleports again and this time he is above Garuda inches away from thrusting the sword into his skull.

Garuda still manages to put his right hand above his head blocking the sword before it lands onto him, Faust the flips in the air kicking the hand of Garuda away that is blocking the sword, opening a gap to land another attack on his head. But Garuda puts his other hand on his head as a defence and grabs the sword of Faust with both of his hands.

Faust can see the orange stone shining brightly, which means the healing process has already begun and happening as he is fighting. Immediately, Faust can also see that both hands of Garuda are above his head, defending himself from the sword, so leaving his sword in the hands of Garuda, Faust teleports under him, inches away from landing a kick onto the inner knee of his right leg.

As both of Garuda’s hands are on top of his head, it would take more time for him to bend down to him and defend. This opening is what Faust has been searching for till now.

Before Faust could land a kick, the right leg of Garuda is lifted into the air and poured onto the right hell of Faust. He stepped on Faust’s heel as if he stepped onto some insect.

“AHHHHHHH!” Faust lets out a cry due to the pain of his heel getting crushed under the feet of Garuda. This time he did not use his hands or gloves but used his feet.

Faust crumbles and shouts under the foot of Garuda, while Garuda doesn’t feel anything and he applies more of his body weight on his right leg, crushing the heel of Faust even more, if it’s a leg it wouldn’t have been so painful but having something pressed directly onto the bone is giving yet another sharp pain to Faust like his ribs.

Faust looks at his sword that is in the hands of Garuda, he teleports it into his hand and swings the sword in front of him which makes Garuda step back, Faust too teleports back a few feet away from Garuda.

He takes the support of his sword and gets up on his feet while gasping for breath. Things are not looking good for him at all.

“Ohhhhh! It’s all healed now, aww feels so good.” Garuda, on the other hand, moves his left leg freely and throws kicks into the air. His leg is completely healed.

“And now.” Saying that, Garuda places both of his hands in front of him before his face and takes the stance of a boxer. He slowly starts to move his feet and shortly, he starts moving with a good feet work like a professional boxer.

*”B-boxing?”* Faust is surprised by the way Garuda moves. *”He cannot hit me if I don’t go too close to him, sword arts is better than boxing, no matter how you see it.”* saying that Faust holds his sword tightly ready to make a move.

Suddenly, a thin bolt of lightning struck Faust on his left shoulder. Faust is surprised as his eyes widen and he falls down on his knees without being able to comprehend what has happened.

“There it is, the lightning gloves!” One of the people in the audience yells loudly.

“God stop this madness! He is totally outmatched.”

“Someone stop this match! He is just a kid! Let him live.”

“You already did enough! give up now Faust!”

The audience couldn’t take it anymore, they all keep asking  Faust to give up. They couldn’t stand watching the kid getting beat up mercilessly.

The place that the lightning bolt hit, pierce the flesh of Faust, his cloak and shirt are torn and the flesh around the wound is burned in black.

*”Gifter weapon huh? Just a little more.”* Faust gets up on his feet as his legs are wobbling like a toddler.

Faust is injured, wounded and exhausted by taking a lot of damage, whereas, Garuda is looking anew, all of his physical injuries are healed and he is in perfect shape to take on Faust.

“Like my gloves?” Garuda asks as the purple stone on his gloves shines brightly. His gloves can send lightning bolts to a distance like rifles.

Every time he throws a jab or punches the air by activating his elemental stone, lightning bolts are released from his gloves onto the enemies before him.

*”I guess I don’t have a choice, I need to really open my eyes to beat him in the battle of speed.”* Faust stands still closing his eyes.

“Is that it? You gave up? You better be.” Seeing that Faust is not moving, Garuda punches the air three times a row and three lightning bolts travel in the way of Faust with insane speed.

*swoosh~*

All three lightning bolts miss Faust and lands on the wall behind him. Garuda’s eyes immediately narrow and Faust starts walking towards Garuda slowly.

Garuda throws more jabs onto Faust and none of the lightning bolts touches Faust. *”What is this? The human smell that he had till now is slowly fading away.”* Garuda, the closest one to Faust senses something. Hades is the other one apart from Garuda to sense the change in Faust.

Faust takes off in a blink, the land that he was standing on, turned into a mini crater as the effect of Faust taking off by putting all of his force in his legs.

He lands a powerful slash on Garuda, who blocks it with his gloves. Faust’s swing has a lot of power packed in it that pushes Garuda a few feet away.

On top of it, the top of his hand hurts due to the impact, the spikes stopped the sword from cutting his hand, but the impact is hurting his bones.

Faust opens his eyes that are closed until now, his hair is covering his eyes from the outside world but Faust’s eyes are blood red in colour. The white part of the eye is filled with striking red colour and his eyeball is blowing in green.

He suddenly teleports far behind Garuda and throws his sword towards him with great speed. Garuda moves to his right evading the sword. As the sword is passing behind him, Faust teleports to the sword he threw, which is now behind Garuda, he catches his sword and lands another powerful strike onto Garuda.

*Clack~*

Garuda turned back in time and blocked the sword with both of his gloves and is still sent back a few feet away.

Every slash that Faust is landing is so powerful that it is sending shock inside Garuda’s wrists, few of these strikes and he would end up fracturing his hands.

The teleportation secret behind Faust is based on his eyes. He imagines himself in a different position than the one he is standing in, and he will be teleported to the place where he is imagining.

Certain conditions should be met for Faust to pull this off:

1)He must see the place physically with his eyes.

2)He needs to put a lot of focus in his eyes and feel the metal and atmosphere around the place.

For Faust, the concrete, the land, the trees, roads and metal, all have life. He imagines the smell, the touch and the feel of the place he wants to go and he will be teleported in seconds.

At first, it took Faust hours and 40-50 minutes for him to focus and teleport once a time. Later he was able to achieve the teleportation by focussing in a spot for 1minute.

After practising thoroughly day after day, he can now teleport in a blink. And when his eyes turn red, the speed of his teleportation increases.
