Aetherion's blade cleaved through the air, it's edge trailing fiery sparks. Kratos moved swiftly, his instincts honed from countless battles. He rolled beneath the strike, the ground shattering where the blade struck . Dusts and shards of stones erupted, but kratos paid them no heed.
His fists , wrapped the scars of war , ignited with latent powerpower. Without the blades of chaos he relied on raw strength. Charging forward he landed a thunderous punch to Aetherion's armor. The impact rang like a bell, reverberating through the barren land .
You dare strike a God ? " Aetherion' bellowed , his laughter filled with mockery, he swung again faster this time, kratos ducked , narrowly avoiding the arc of death.
God's, " kratos spat, his voice dripping with disdain "I've killed better. "
Aetherion's golden eyes flared with rage. He raised his free hand summoning chains of molten energy from the ground . They lashed at kratos, binding his arms and his legs. Kratos grunted , straining against their grip .
"You are nothing here ! " Aetherion roared, preparing the final blow
But kratos, with a roar of his own, pulled against the chains, his veins pulsing with sheer willpower , they snapped like twigs , and he launched himself at the warden with unrelenting ferocity.
The ground quaked as the battle raged on
