Caesar looked into the eyes of Joe, all he could see was rage and anguish inside of them."Joe, getting angry isn"t going to solve anything… calm down" Caesar attempted to soothe him, however, even he himself knew that it wasn"t likely to work.
*humph*
Joe exhaled a long breath and started to run towards Caesar at extraordinary speeds, he was fully lost in his rage.
Caesar raised both of his swords and his eyes started to radiate a dark crimson, he took a step forward and slashed down right as Joe walked into his slashing radius.
Joe did not evade nor block, he kept running at Caesar with only one thought in his mind… "kill"
*whish*
Caesar"s sword barely penetrated Joe"s skin and left a shallow cut mark, Joe"s fist soon came flying towards Caesar, to which he quickly raised his other sword and blocked.
*BANG*
Joe"s fist collided with Caesar"s sword and Caesar was blasted away, he elegantly flipped in mid-air and landed with relative ease.
Caesar looked down at his shaking left hand astonished, "is even stronger than me?" Caesar murmured in a baffled tone.
*tap*
*tap*
Caesar didn"t have any time to rest before Joe was already in front of him once again, Caesar"s eyes hastily moved as he continuously dodged Joe"s onslaught of punches.
*whish*
*whish*
Every single one of Joe"s fists traveled through the air at a startling speed, Caesar tilted his head and maneuvered his body to dodge them continuously… Caesar"s eyes started to move faster and faster and his eyes radiated an even brighter crimson.
*AHHHHHH*
Joe"s skin became even redder and his strikes grew faster and stronger, Caesar started to fight back and swiftly flail his swords around meticulously.
*bang*
*bang*
They collided dozens of times with every second that pa.s.sed, Joe slowly gained the advantage as he became angrier and angrier… hundreds of slash marks appeared on Joe"s body and his blood flowed out profusely.
*CRASH*
Joe pulled back his right fist and struck with all he had towards Caesar"s gut, Caesar blocked with both swords in a cross formation, however, it wasn"t enough.
Caesar went flying towards the ceiling and quickly shifted his body so that his feet hit the roof and not his head… right when he touched the roof with his feet he blasted back down towards Joe like a torpedo.
*whish*
*whish*
Caesar threw both of his swords down towards Joe as he flew towards him, Joe dodged the first one but his shoulder was impaled by the second.
*crack*
Caesar landed back on the ground and fissures appeared where he descended, he quickly picked up the sword that he had missed with and rushed at Joe once again.
"ARGGGG"
Joe roared out in pain and anger as he pulled out the sword in his shoulder, he looked towards Ahri and hurled it as hard as he could towards her.
Caesar grew enraged as he immediately threw his other sword in the perfect trajectory to intercepts Joe"s.
*CLANG*
Both swords ricocheted off each other just merely meters in front of Ahri, she looked on in horror at the sheer speed that the projectile was flying at.
"You have truly angered me this time JOE" Caesar roared Joe"s name and rushed at him.
"AHHHHH" As if to answer Caesar, Joe roared back and met Caesar"s punch which caused a huge collision in the middle of the mountain.
The shockwaves caused the surroundings to shake and even Edward outside the mountain could feel the intense vibrations.
*crack*
Their punches were equal for a few seconds before Caesar"s arm soon started to crack and he was blasted back in the direction towards Ahri.
He flipped in the air once more and grabbed one of the swords he landed by, he gritted his teeth and sucked up the pain.
"SNAP OUT OF IT, YOU FOOL!" Caesar bellowed toward Joe.
Joe didn"t respond and once again charged at him, Caesar furrowed his brows and he gripped his sword heavily.
Caesar"s right arm dangled freely as he ran towards Joe, he stabbed with his sword repeatedly as he dodged Joe"s wide punches.
One punch could potentially end his life, Caesar"s eyes stung in pain but he didn"t care… He kept moving faster and faster, the red dots on Joe"s body aligned and he pushed through his limits.

[19%]
Caesar entered into his own little world, he didn"t pay attention to anything besides the current fight and he couldn"t even hear Ahri"s shouts.
He concentrated deeply, he evaded and stabbed with his sword in perfect synch… Joe"s body was raking up wound after wound.
Caesar became faster and faster, however, his muscles were nearing their limits and the feeling of muscle failure was beginning to spread throughout his entire body.
Suddenly, Caesar"s strength leaped one last time… [Vampire physique evolution progress: 20%]
Caesar didn"t have time to notice the change within his body and stabbed out with his sword one final time. Joe counterattacked with his fist but it wasn"t enough.
*puch*
Caesar"s sword pierced through Joe"s hand and moved towards his upper body, right as his sword nearly penetrated through Joe"s chest.
*crack*
The sword cracked into pieces and fell to the ground, Joe who was barely conscious wound up his fist and punched towards Caesar"s face.
Caesar could see Joe"s fist magnify as it got closer and closer to his face, he bit his tongue and tilted his head to the left.
*BOOM*
Joe"s punch barely pa.s.sed by Caesar"s face and the noise generated from it almost blew out his eardrum… Caesar used this chance to step forward and punch Joe"s abdomen as hard as he could muster.
*BANG*
Joe"s body went flying and crashed into the wall, a huge crater was formed where his body landed. Joe"s body soon collapsed and had no signs of movement.
Caesar looked at this scene with relief and also fell back first to the ground… he could vaguely hear Ahri running towards him while crying.
"So that"s how strong an A rank beast is" Caesar grumbled to himself and coughed up a bit of blood.
At this time Caesar had no idea he had awakened the "demon" inside of his blood, or maybe, it wasn"t a demon at all? nor did he know what waves it would cause at a later date.

In a dark tower, four people that were by no means human were sitting at a round table… they all had extremely different features but they had two things in common, their faces were hidden and they were all shaking with excitement.
"D-did you guys feel that?" one of them asked in a strange voice.
"Y-yes, we all felt it… I can"t believe this is true, isn"t this is what our ancestors told us to wait for" Another said, he almost sounded like a reptile.
"A k-king has awoken? I thought the last demon went extinct ages ago in the last ancient war!" a slightly feminine voice spoke in an astonished tone.
"Don"t call them "demons" that was what the disgusting church dubbed them, they are more like angels that were betrayed by their own followers… all of them were extinct until now, they... no, his race should be referred to as a fallen angel" a deep and raspy voice resounded throughout the tower, he was clearly the leader of these four.
