Perseus POV -
Stood before me. We did not say anything for sometime just looked at each other. I really did not understand why he want to fight me. I mean he does not like to fight. I asked,'' Why the sudden interest in fighting? You would rather choose to stay out of battle?''
He smiled and said,'' Sometime ago I made quite a progress in my strength and also I had a progress in my personal life. I cleared my relationship with Alesa but when I thought back and discussed it with her I found something quite unusual. It was like I was manipulated into it and with consideration I found only two people who can do it.''
And saying this he looked towards Father and I. While I was standing in front of him so I can not evade but father very tactically turned his head and started talking to mother. And mother was smiling like she was used to it. The Queen of Alfheim and all my brothers were trying to control there laughter.
But there was one group who was not even controlling there smiles. My girls. They were gloating that I got caught. When I looked at them they stuck there tongue at me.
Baldur continued, ''Since one of the two peoples I can't say anything then the other have to take the punishment for both. So I think it will be a better option to test my strength and punish someone today. What do you think Percy?''
The last word was spoken with so much force that I can practically hear the venom in it even from this distance. I said,'' I think brother it is going to be night in sometime so we should scheduled this for some other time. What do you say Thor?''
Thor was surprised when I called him like that. He stammered for sometime and then spoke at last,'' Ye.... Yes. Yes Baldur it is going to be dark in some hour. So we can reschedule it.''
Baldur said, '' Don't worry brother. I am the God of light I can keep the sky in the day form for as long as I desired. And if you have forgotten then My dear Perseus here has the power or should I say Authority over a specific kind of light. So the dark will not hinder us. Isn't brother.''
I can't say anything so I just asked,''Powers or no powers.''
He said, '' Powers.''
And before I can react he turned into a streak of light and punched me in the face. The speed and the strength was enough to lift me off my foots. I flew from the middle to end of the arena. I stood up and looked at brother, ''Well brother from this punch I knew all the training session with Thor was not wasted on you. You have improved quite a much.''
He said,'' Yes and You will be first to get the taste.''
He again try to punch me but I easily evaded it then he attacked me again and again. But I can easily track his movements because both of our speed is almost the same. Seeing that his attacks were not causing me any harm he improvised.
This time just before his punch landed he suddenly burst an intense light in front of me. This instant burst momentarily stunned me and covered my vision. And that is all the moment he needed. In that moment he landed punch on my face and followed by a kick. I was directly smashed into the wall.
If the arena was not enchanted amd created with the combination of most durable method to take even the hardest hits from me it would have been destroyed. It took me a second to get back at my feet. I think it is the time to get serious.
He said,'' What? Are you hurt?''
I said,'' Hurt no. Not at all. But really you did get stronger but I think you have forgotten that I am still the strongest son of Odin and Frigga. ''
And this time I attacked. I also turned into the streak of light and punched towards him. But I knew he can easily dodged or counterattack me so I used water to push him ahead. My punch connected with a crunch to his nose.
I thought it will at least make him bleed or he will get a little concussion but when the dust of the arena settled he was standing there like nothing has happened. And now I know why they call him the the invincible. If not for the one single defect he is almost impervious to harm. An invincible in a true sense.
Before I can gather my thoughts we both entered into a new round of punches and kicks. He punch I roll and I punch he roll. It does not matter how much force we put behind our attacks but none of our attacks can even cast a slightest harm to each other.
When we saw that it is almost impossible to harm each other like this we switched to our other attacks. He gather a sphere of light and attacked me with it. I created a wall of ice to defend myself. But he was not keen on giving me any chances. He followed with a intense beam of light that attacked my ice wall.
My wall which was almost shattered by the impact of energy collapsed under this attack but what was presented in front of him is nothing but air and at the same time I made myself visible just two steps behind him.
I used the ice to freeze him. And it started happening But before it can truly covered him in Ice the temperature all around him started to rise at a very fast pace and soon not only ice was melted but even the sand on the ground was scorched. I covered myself with cold water but it was being evaporated instantly.
So I did my absolute weapon of my Ice domain - Absolute zero. And in just a single moment everything around me was frozen into the Ice age. And he was also covered with ice and can not move. That means I won the war but before I can enjoy my happiness of being the winner a very sweet voice sounded behind me which sent chill to my spine.
She said,'' Percy You ruined my dress.''
I turned looked at all the peoples who were watching the fight. And while they were not frozen but the temperature still affected them and the snowflakes have covered them. When I turned towards the voice And looked at the face of my mother and her smile. At that moment I knew I fucked up.
