Chrono dashed forward and brought his sword down at the King, who raised his staff horizontally and blocked the strike. Chrono pushed against his staff while the King did nothing but hold him back. Chrono jumped back and returned with a backwards spinning strike, which was also blocked by the King. The King was successfully blocking all of Chrono's sword strikes, from the repetitive slashes back and forth that lead to a leaping overhead strike straight down, which the King was able to hold Chrono up above the ground with his block, to the many stabs and thrusts that the King managed to block with perfect precision by holding his staff in front of where the sword would stab. Chrono couldn't make any strategic attacks while the King was standing so close to his throne; the footing would be too uncomfortable and close to the wall for a decisive strike. Chrono jumped back and waited for the King to do something, as he hasn't done anything yet other than block."What the fuck are you doing?" cried Chrono, "Fight me, you bastard!"
"I don't want to fight," replied the King calmly, "You can fight if you must, but I will not."
"Fuck you," Chrono roared. He placed his sword on his back, where it remained as if sheathed, and cupped his hands near each other next to him. A bright white orb of light energy formed in his hands immediately, and he thrusted his arms forward, hands still cupped, releasing the energy in a beam aimed directly at the King's head. The King swiftly moved his staff in front of him, stopping the beam with the head of the staff. Chrono took the sword off his back and darted towards the King with a quick thrust, which he sidestepped easily to the right, and Chrono immediately spun around to his own right to slash the King on the way around. The King blocked the attack again and spun the staff around to strike Chrono to the head. Chrono slipped forward from his feet to dodge the attack and landed on his free hand, and he pushed himself straight up and spun around quickly, swinging his sword around at the King, who kept spinning his staff and held up up side down to block the many strikes. Chrono then flipped right side up in midair and swung his blade parallel to the King's staff at his head, but the King stepped back and narrowly dodged the tip of the blade, which ruffled the King's giant mustache. The King then jabbed the bottom end of his staff at Chrono as he landed, and Chrono deflected the staff downward with his free hand and held it on the ground for a moment, which was ample time to get off his feet again while balancing on his one hand which was now holding down the staff so he could roundhouse kick the King to the back of the head. The King, still holding onto the staff, wasn't able to dodge the kick without letting go, and he received the kick in full force to the side of the head, sending him flying into the nearby stone wall, crashing into it and landing on the ground.
Chrono stepped down onto his feet, still holding the staff in one hand and his sword in the other. The King pushed himself onto his feet painfully, but recollected himself quickly. Chrono tossed the King his staff and walked to the other side of the room backwards, as not to turn his back on his opponent. He readied himself in a low stance with his legs double-shoulder width apart, his right hand over his head holding his sword, which was pointed at the King, and his other arm extended forward, his hand open, ready to block any sneaky attacks. The King walked to the side of the room opposite Chrono and readied himself in the same feeble looking stance he had before.
They both darted at each other, swinging their weapons across at each other and clashing in the middle of the room. Chrono lifted his left leg and kicked the King square in the chest through his beard, and the King stumbled back and Chrono quickly swing his blade up at him, slashing the King in the ribs before he could collect himself again. Chrono took advantage of the King's injury and quickly barrel rolled around him and slashed him straight up his back, lifting him off the ground somewhat, which lead into Chrono levitating in the air and slashing and kicking the King in the back repetitively in the back while holding him floating in such a position with minor telepathy, and eventually breaking it with a double axe kick to both of his shoulders, causing the King to slam on his back on the ground, and Chrono brought his sword straight down, penetrating the King in the chest with the long blade. For good measure, Chrono twisted the blade ninety degrees quickly and forcefully, then pulled it out, and walked around his body to his feet and stood looking at his limp form lying on the ground.
Chrono almost felt proud of himself. It was an easier fight than he had imagined. He watched the corpse of the King lie on the ground, staff lying in his hand, his arms and legs outstretched and limp, like he fell into the snow to make a snow angel. Chrono sent his sword into hammerspace, causing it to turn into a bright light and disappear. He brought his right hand up and flicked his nose with his thumb, and then crossed his arms. He chuckled a bit, tapped his toes against the ground behind him, placed both feet firmly on the ground, and said, "Come on, you dumb shit, get up. I don't care if you don't want to fight, you don't have to be a big fucking baby about it."
At that moment, the King grasped the staff in his hand and sat up, completely unscathed. He helped himself up with his staff, and stood up with his staff at his side. "Why do you insist on fighting to the death?" he said sounding very concerned, "You win. You can be King."
"I know just as well as you that it doesn't work that way, old man," Chrono snarled, "We're doing this the right way, or I will murder you with my bare hands."
"I'm sick and tired of this," the King said wearily, "I don't want to kill anymore."
"I know you don't," said Chrono, "I get that. But you aren't going to, I guarantee it."
Chrono burst forward, thrusting his fist forward at the King's head. The King sidestepped and quickly smashed Chrono in the back with his staff, sending him into a face plant on the ground. Just as quickly as he went down, he pushed himself up towards the King with his arms, forcing both his legs at him. The King sidestepped that as well, and Chrono landed on his feet at the other side of the room. Chrono slid forward quickly with a roundhouse kick, which the King blocked with his staff, and Chrono started a flurry of kicks and punches, that the King blocked or sidestepped successfully without a single counterattack. Chrono stopped, still not understanding why the King was only defending himself and not retaliating at all. He knew he wouldn't get an answer, so he stood up straight, and called his sword back into his hand. He brought it over his head and then down at shoulder height, pointing it at the King, "I've had enough of this bullshit," he said. His sword glowed with a strange black aura that looked like it was sucking in light. He swung it back to his side, arm outstretched, and he darted towards the King with his sword again. Before the King got a chance to do anything, Chrono disappeared the room started to turn very dark, and he reappeared behind the King, and slashed him again in the back, then appeared suddenly across the room from beside the King, and he dashed in and slashed him in the side. Chrono kept warping around the room and advancing into the King and attacking and very high speeds, and very often, fast enough to make one think there were multiple instances of Chrono attacking at once. The King wasn't able to block any of these high speed strikes, and started paining quickly. While he was barely able to maintain a stance while being attacked, the head of his staff started glowing bright purple and the room exploded with the purple light. Chrono flew back against the back wall, and streams of purple steam-like light were coming out of the ground around the King. The colour of the room returned, but it still remained purple around the King, who had now returned to his stance with his staff held upright, still glowing.
"I've had enough of this bullshit myself," said the King angrily, and a blast of purple light energy burst out of the staff in a huge wave towards Chrono. Just barely able to react in time, Chrono pushed himself off the ground and darted out of the way of the tremendous wave, narrowly avoiding it's colossal power as it destroyed a large portion of the wall that was behind him. "This one won't miss," said the King viciously, as he readied another blast. Chrono tried to run around and behind the King, but he slammed straight into a wall of the King's magic energy. He looked around, seeing that he was cornered between the two walls of energy, and the King was still readying an attack. Chrono hesitated, took a step back nervously and put his arms up in an X-block in front of himself. The King forced a nearly instantaneous beam out at Chrono, who acted quickly. A green sphere of energy spawned around him, pushing through the walls of energy and shattering them like glass, and the beam of energy crashed into the sphere head on, stopping it in it's tracks. The King was still pushing out energy, but Chrono maintained his sphere shield and concentrated all of it's energy towards the point that the King's blast was trying to penetrate. He uncrossed his arms, and started collecting a swirling black and orange ball of energy in his hands while still maintaining his shield. The King was still pushing more and more energy out, making the concentrated energy pushing against Chrono's shield stronger and stronger exponentially, but Chrono was ready for it. Chrono dissipated his shield and blasted his own beam of energy forward, which collided perfectly against the King's already built up energy. There was a large shock wave from the collision, which shook the room violently and caused some pieces of the floor to break and some pieces of the ceiling to fall down around them. The two beams were pushing against each other forcefully, each one getting more and more powerful by the second, and neither barely moving between them. They pushed for several minutes, neither of them tiring out from all the energy they were consuming, and occasionally causing the room to shake again. But soon, Chrono grew impatient. He grunted angrily, pulled his arms back slightly while still pushing energy forward, the let out a roar and he pushed an even greater amount of energy into his beam, causing another violent shock wave. Now, his energy beam was started to approach the King, who started trying to push his own bursts of energy forward. Sadly for him, It only sped up Chrono's energy blast approaching the King's staff. As it neared closer and closer, Chrono could see in the King's eyes that he was terrified of his power. In the last moment of the clash, the King raised his staff pointing the bottom of the staff at Chrono while the energy beam began to enter the head of the staff, and as it did, the head violently exploded with pure energy, pushing everything around it away. The King flew back and smashed into the the wall behind him breaking it into a cave around him, and the staff itself broke from the head and flew towards Chrono. Chrono saw the pointed end of the staff careening towards him, and he stopped his energy beam flow to get out of the way, but he wasn't able to do it fast enough at the speed the staff was moving, and it penetrated Chrono's chest.
