A terrifying clash echoed throughout the cave as both beings clashed. Navalix claws were met with the boy's blade, he pushed the boy backwards but soon felt the same being repeated to him.
" You get stronger as you fight and have a really nice Flair. I think I would turn you so you will serve me for eternity " Navalix said sliding backwards and dashing in again.
He lashed multiple slashes, however the boy blocked them effortlessly. Moreover as the fight raged on, the vampire's speed only increased exponentially.
Few gashes appeared on his body as he couldn't soon keep up. The boy grew stronger due to a passive trait, but it wasn't as rapid as the vampire who was mere showing his full strength.
Still stuck on defense, Navalix utilized the opportunity held the blade and punched the boy across the cave. The space shook, pillars collapsed and cracks appeared all around the cave.
A huge pile of rumble lay at the end of the cave, from that rumble, the boy emerged. His body drenched in his blood and sweat, his muscles weakened to the point they almost couldn't function well.
Kicking the chunks of limestone preventing his free movement, he attempted to move forward, but boom. He flew to the wall behind him, blood droplets flew out of his mouth in slow motion.
Again he was blown in the abdomen, again and again, recurrently. Worst part he couldn't dodge, counter or fight back because his opponent was literally meters away.
His hands weren't even moving. Before the boy's eyes started failing, he saw vividly the vampire standing with his hands behind him. Although there was a subtle scarlet aura around him.
It outlined the vampire's being while continually releasing phantom clones of the vampire. These clones were impossible to see and worked with Navalix's will.
Slowly the boy's eyes turned white with his iris moving upward and facing his inner sockets. Fizzy foam spilled from his mouth as he shook dazed.
The invisible pummeling stopped furthermore he was allowed to breathe. " You are a formidable opponent, I just I should quit playing around " Navalix said on the point of bats encircling his body.
The bats hid him from view, when the were gone Navalix was now armoured in a crimson . His blood slipped through the gaps of his left gauntlet and formed a crimson sword.
So on his left was a crimson blade, on his right was the boy's sword. He walked towards the boy who stood dazed and lifeless, his eyes going bloodshot, his mouth agape with saliva forming a long drip.
Reaching the boy, Navalix smiled brightly at his pitiful state. In a singular motion, he thrust the boy's blade into his shoulder and pinned him to the wall.
Not a single sound escaped the boy's lips, he leaned pin to the wall with no resistance.
" It's a shame you didn't get to grow into the war God you were meant to become, don't feel sad though, you will aid my ascension to godhood. " Navalix said walking a few steps away.
He spun using his ultimate speed and agility which caused the dilation of time momentarily. An reverberating bang shook the cave reducing the delay of its impending collapse.
The bang came with a bright golden light which filled the entire space for a few seconds.

The light faded, the boy stood, his hand holding firmly to the crimson blade. His eyes shone of gold and his aura boomed of a cosmic iota.
" You are truly a God, a… " before Navalix could complete his speech, the boy had punched a hole in his abdomen. In the act of stunning Navalix with the punch, he yanked the crimson blade out of his grip, then stabbed it into the vampire's throat.
Navalix despite everything, grabbed onto the boy's arm and push himself to the ceiling of the cave. There, the bats which closely watched their fight hitherto encircled and covered him from sight.
Claw and fang grew out of the boy's body as he morphed to the only bloodline he had which was, the Jaguarian Cleaver. his skin was now covered with tawny-yellow light fur and signature rosettes.
With an effortless attempt he leapt towards the area Navalix cocooned himself. The bats scattered when they noticed his movements and left Navalix to lately evade at the cost of his entire right arm.
Using his claws to hang onto the covering of the cave, the boy held Navalix's arm and threw it at him. The vampire caught the limb visibly enraged, he placed the arm in it's former position and it got rejoined by blood strings.
From his back blood tendrils came fort, two tendrils dug into the ground, creating roots as it went deeper. It raised Navalix off the ground and gave him a menacing look as thick long tendrils encircled his form.
The boy swing from the covering towards Navalix. However the total of six tendrils shot at him, five were instant severed, one pierced through his shoulder.
The momentum of the tendril pushed him to the ground, he maintained balance by landing on his feet. Nevertheless he was pushed towards the wall.
Not letting that happen, he grabbed the tendril and pulled with insane strength. This tugged Navalix forward, the boy also leapt towards him.
Navalix couldn't stabilize himself on time, so he got grabbed on the face, then hurled to the far end of the cave. A shudder ran through the cave as a veil of dust covered Navalix.
The boy held a stance for a moment before charging and the dust veil. His aura became a destructive force, the ground convexed beneath his feet, moreover all of the remaining columns and stalagmites which stood in his path were obliterated.
His hands shone of a golden divine aura, his feet left the ground as he shot himself towards Navalix. The latter still recovering from the attack opened his eyes to a menacing golden glow.
The punch connected with a boom, so much force was generated by the punch, that it even sent the boy flying. He had to air flip which killed the momentum.
When the second dust veil cleared Navalix was bloodied and imprinted deeply into the cave's wall. The vampire opened his eyes to see the male figure walking towards him.
His injuries were closing up slowly, however the boy wasn't going to let that. He rushed forward, this time not as a destructive force, his feet glowed divinely golden, making his speed untraceable.
" I can't sense him " Navalix exclaimed, his extrasensory ability was now rendered useless. His blood tendrils rose the second time and whipped at the golden blur the boy had become.
Explosions erupted from different areas of the cave, where Navalix's tendrils had met the boy. Seeing the development of how he was being overwhelmed, he couldn't help but think, ' Is this the power of a God. '
The boy flashed in front of him, his body almost hidden by golden light, at that point Navalix knew it was over. A single motion followed, the boy sank his claws into Navalix's chest and out his body from the other side.
In his hand was Navalix's heart.
He withdrew his arm and let the vampire fall.
The non-pumping blackened organ faded into black ash, leaving behind a small marble sized core.
