Chapter 54: Battle of Titans
"I could’ve sworn I saw them here..." The woman muttered, her arms crossed as she searched further from the village. Godric stood by her side, his hand at the ready on his axe as they searched on.
"We don’t have time for this, Freya—" He warned, his voice tinged with annoyance as time passed by, his grip on his weapon growing tighter.
"I assure you I saw a boy here peeking through the trees!" Her voice grew defensive, before softening to an unsure tone. "Besides we already tore through the town—"
The sound of rustling leaves caught their attention, both of them snapping to a bush that was parted by a giant hand, Tanaka stepping though, rolling his shoulders.
"You’re still alive—" Godric muttered, slamming his axe to the floor at the ready, debris flying up into the air at the sudden impact, the sound of cranking gears on his mechanism ticking though the atmosphere.
"Long time no see..." Tanaka muttered, his gaze focused on the two, the red warrior grunted at the chief subpar greeting, the two giants staring each other down as Freya just witnessed the intense energy from the two.
Without a word, Godric shifted his weight, his muscles coiling like springs. In an instant, his foot slammed into the ground, propelling him forward in a burst of speed that blurred his form. The air whistled as his axe arced through the sunlight, its edge gleaming like a sliver of lightning. Tanaka barely had time to react, his hands snapping up to catch the blade just as it descended. The force of the impact sent shockwaves through the ground, scattering rocks and dust in all directions.
"The peace made you rusty it seems..." Godric commented, pulling his blade back, slipping it from Tanaka’s grasp before stepping away.
Tanaka didn’t say a word, before taking a shot at it himself. Running straight for the enemy. He dug his feet into the ground, his body swinging as he took a devastating jab at Godric’s core. The warrior hardly had time to respond, the attack already hitting its mark.
