The Legend of Azhakkstadd

CHAPTER XXXIV : A REMATCH II

-Aisha-

            Kurezma's movements are just so sharp and fast, I admit I can hardly catch her up, it seems like my movements are getting slower. Her punches and kicks were powerful since we started dropping off our swords, it sends me such a blow. 

            She went weak upon attacking me though but I was weaker to receive those attacks in a harder way, that it still gives me such pain that steals my energy out. 

            She kept attacking me continuously with fast kicks as if she didn't lose some energy at all, that I can't even block with the right timing resulting it to hit me hard. She was very fast that my blurry and tired eyes cannot see where she is and where her attacks are landing. 

            She ends up hitting me all over my body that keeps on draining my energy and losing my strength to continue fighting. 

            We've been fighting for a long time now and nobody from both of us seemed to give up, neither do I, I just continued attacking her with all the energy I have left . I can feel my body in great pain and becoming weak as heck but I need to gather myself altogether to get through this. 

            My screams are becoming so soft that I myself can't even hear it and my grunts came out weak too as it steals some energy left from me indicating how worn out I've been.

            She kept giving me some elbow strike hitting me in my face, in my chest, and in my stomach that made my grunt soundly but weakly in pain that she never stopped until she content. Trust me that was so hard that I can't feel my body anymore due to excessive pain I am experiencing right now. 

             She struck me repeatedly with some hammer fists and back fists to my head and my arms that sent so much suffering to my body. 

            I felt my head so light that I became nauseous and my arms hurt that I can't seem to even raise it up. I don't know but it just feel painful, weightless, numb, and tired. I can't pull my arms to block her attacks nor to attack her back at all, and all I can do is to back off as she forced her punches towards me. 

           Why does it seem like she's not hurt nor tired at all? I wonder if my attacks right now even hurt her or what...

            I felt her feet hitting my face hard and forcefully as she continued hitting even my neck, my upper arms, my lower torso, and my upper legs with such power that I can hear the sound of our skin hitting each other painfully. 

            I saw her from my weak half closed eyes that she's doing spin kicks with all her strength left pulling herself together to give me the last blow which is her flying kick that struck my chin sharply that made me flip mid-air and dropping myself hardly on the ground. I can feel my body shaking slightly and aching as sweat slowly dripped down wetting my whole vision. 

            I thought I could beat her now that we're doing close combat but I was wrong, it's harder.... a lot harder. She really became so strong instantly just by weeks of training. She was so determined to defeat me that we did everything to defend ourselves, and it seemed that she's not giving up at all. 

            I produced thunder with all the strength that I have left and started slapping her weakly with it as I can't add enough force to hit her harder. She literally managed to weaken me. I can feel her skin in great tension that she's getting affected with what I'm doing right now. 

            She continued stepping back while trying her best avoiding my attacks at the moment, yet she managed to pull herself up and attack me back. She fought very fast that she won't even let me breath for air for at least a second.

            I slapped her with thunder on my hand several times making her weaken as weak as I am that made her step backwards again, and for the last time I don't know how many slaps I made, I managed to let her drop herself off the ground drastically.

            Her weak body wasn't able to produce enough resistance to endure my electricity that pushed her down gasping for air on the ground. Though it was that weak, she was weaker due to exhaustion that finally knocked her off. 

            The thud was so loud that I gasped upon hearing it. I looked at her for a while and took a deep breath. Now, I'm seeing my chance of winning this fight. She's really strong.

            My panting went heavy and my eyes went blurry. After that, everything went white and I don't know what happened next.

-Nazif-

            Aisha and Kurezma were fighting so intense and unpredictable on the battlefield that it took them so long doing the match. We were just standing here watching them and none of us even thought of stopping them. Their faces looked like neither of them wanted to stop. Kuzma even told us that we shouldn't interfere because they both needed this.  

            I noticed how weak these two right now but they still haven't stopped fighting and it seems like they don't plan in doing so at all. I have no idea who'll win this match and who'll lose, they both have the determination and persistence to win, and they would do anything for it. 

            At first, I thought it'd be Aisha, but as they fought along, I knew it'd be Kurezma, but again, it seemed like it's Aisha, but now, I don't know already. That's odd, I mean this is only just a training, they don't have to do overdo themselves, they can stop this when they want to, I get it they are strong alright. 

            But it's nice to know that they are fixed to win though, a character that we, Truenos must have. Kuzma and Ashtan doesn't seem to worry about them a lot anyway. 

             I quickly ran towards the both of them the moment Aisha fainted right after Kurezma. I felt Ashtan and Kuzma ran following me. The battle was very close and tough that none of them wanted to give up and now this happened. They fought for almost an hour and a half or so until they lost energy and passed out ahahahaha so no one won after all. 

            I know Aisha, she won't give up easily, she'll fight until she loses strength doing it, and maybe same with Kurezma. But Kurezma gave me the most shock, I didn't know that she was this strong that she's very close to Aisha's capabilities. 

            Does that mean she's stronger than me? I don't know... She managed to be the first one to wound Kuzma anyway, so I won't doubt.

            Both of their fighting skills were so strong and unique that you won't even expect them doing it. They fought in their own styles with their exceptional power that makes them so difficult to defeat. 

            Their swordsmanship was extraordinary that none of them faltered nor failed to execute their strength and skills very well and they were so resilient that they didn't mind letting go of their weapons and fought without it.... I doubt someone could do what they just shown us, not Ashtan nor Kuzma. 

             They even used their weapon to produce their particular abilities especially when Kurezma used another element with her sword and her bare hands, and that was so incomparable to anyone, it's my first time witnessing that technique where she's so swift changing powers. 

             Aisha is so smart for battle strategies, she's swift to think any possible way for her to get things in her favor, Kurezma is very quick in changing elements that she's going to use, and the fact that they both are very strong. Plus, their combat skills were... I can't describe it but all in all they were so strong and aggressive. 

             Just by looking at them, it made me afraid to mess with them.

            I felt itch on my neck and paused for a while to scratch it. That's strange... this is where Aisha was pointing last time...

            "Why?" Ashtan turned to me asking why I stopped as he carried Kurezma on his arms with his indescribable looks combined with redness all over his face that tells me he's very worried, I just shook my head as I turned to hm telling him it's nothing to worry about and went to Kuzma who already had Aisha on his arms too

            "Let me help you" I told him offering my help that made him turned to me quickly as he smiled brightly, he looked convinced though and pointed out their swords that lie on the ground but instead I quickly snatched Aisha out of his grip and managed to carry her properly on my arms. 

            Then I turned to Ashtan and followed him heading to the road that connects this cloud so that we'd get to the healing center in no time

            I saw Kuzma smirked suspiciously before I turned away to follow Ashtan and heard him picking up Aisha's and Kurezma's swords on the ground then ran behind us.

            We hurried running to the healing center carrying Aisha on my arms eager for her safety and assurance, and same for Ashtan worriedly carrying Kurezma on his arms but we were so careful not to drop them ahahahaha. 

            I was panting heavily almost dropping Aisha, gosh! she's heavy but i managed to gather myself up so that I won't drop her at all and kept running until we reached the bridge that connects this cloud to our mainland so that they'd be taken care at once.
