A Survivor's life in the dungeon (A Danmachi Fanfic.)

Chapter 30

Finn received August's spear with his own, a straight stab was easy to read for the likes of Finn, he was an expert when it comes to spear combat and he anticipated the trajectory of August's strike with one quick look. Charging mana into his lower body and spear he slammed his weapon at the base of Beowulf, breaking its path, directing it to the ground as it dug itself in it creating a huge crater the size of a large house. From the view point of others it might have looked easy, but Finn would be the first one to tell them that it was far from it, one wrong move and he would be at the receiving end of August's spear which would result in his inevitable demise. The mana he used had to be perfect in order for him not to create a blowback that would injure him, just enough to change the trajectory. Anything more or less would mean death for him. And even with all of that he didn't get out of the clash unscratched. His hand was a  bloody mess, his fingers all black and broken from the impact. Right now he is in no conditions to even hold his weapon much less fight. And his spear was now unusable, as the spearhead shattered, a durandal weapon broken yet Beowulf was still intact and didn't get any damage from it.

August was shocked to see Finn in front of him, he can no longer stop his assault, and he was even more shocked when Finn redirected his blow to the ground. He was holding his spear next to his body and the blow ultimately bounced back at him, he broke several ribs as his hand let go of his spear, he was blown back by the shockwave of his spear hitting the ground. It interrupted his concentration which snapped him out of endless battle. His body entered mind zero as well and he was rendered unconscious.

Everyone was taken aback by the events, a friendly spar turned into an all out brawl between two powerful adventurers. Their fight literally changed the landscape of the 18th floor as huge craters, broken lands, burnt and melted floors appeared on the floor. The fight resulted in many level 3 and lower adventurers to be injured by their crossfire, nothing too serious, a broken bone here, a concussion there. But they didn't regret watching the fight at all. They witnessed something amazing that day and the memories of it would forever be etched at their minds. 'This is what happens when two high class adventures go all out.'

The trio of Finn, Riveria, and Gareth were tired, Finn regretted his decision to ever allow this spar to even take place. But he did gain something out of it. He now knows what August is capable of and he could use this to their familia advantage this coming tournament. His eyes roamed and found Ais looking at the pair. He wondered what would happen if her and August fought. He established that the reason his goddess ordered for their early return was because of Ais, and he can't wait to see what the two of them would do when they face off against each other.

Finn smiled which was caught by Gareth. "What the fuck are you smiling for?" Gareth was angry right now, his axe was broken beyond repeat because of the fire of Bete. He would need a replacement and it doesn't come cheap.

"Just thinking of the future and what it holds." Finn just smiled at him as he answered his question. "Now let's clean up here. I don't know about you but my whole body is aching right now and I'm in a dire need of a healing spell."

"OH SHUT UP!" Riveria was as mad or even madder than Gareth is. She was against this spar from the start given Bete's personality. And she was again proven right but no one listens to him. 'Men.' "If it wasn't for your curiosity none of this would have happened right now. So for that you'll be the last person I'll heal."

"..." Finn just smiled awkwardly and scratched his head at Riveria's remark but winced in pain when his fingers touched his head. He remembered that all of his digits were broken black and blue.

"Serves you right." Gareth mumbles as he orders the twins to carry the two unconscious fighters at the camp for them to be healed. "I'm too old for this shit."
