The next fight started as soon as the King of Navaros declared it as such. The two fighters had only a moment to look at the other before Leman Russ decided that there was enough time wasted waiting on his brother to make the first move. As TalOS did before he was faster, his eyes quickly realizing the movement of Leman Russ so that he could maneuver his weapon into a nice and more hard to reach spot.
However that was not the only thing he waited on.
As TalOS had noticed Leman Russ did not fight with calculation like he did. No, TalOS quickly realized that his brother simply had feelings on how to fight well. Knowing this TalOS recognized that such feelings were more than not psychic occurrences within the mind. The brain of a human picking up that subtle strand of fate and realizing where the danger may lie.
So TalOS allowed Leman to get close enough that his foresight was clouded by the Blackstone upon his neck.
In an instant TalOS slammed his axe into the ribs of his brother, causing him to give a roar as the feral man gave the Primarch a nice punch. But TalOS took his hit well better than his brother, simple metal of flesh being harmful when the weapon was weilded by a Primarch.
Quickly TalOS caused there to be ground between the two of them as Leman made his next attack in an attempt to clear away from his more closely battled brother. And for a second TalOS was successful, giving enough ground between him and his brother to prepare the next strike that resulted in a clear hit on his shoulder while Leman got a chink into TalOS’s shoulder.
For those outside they watched for two minutes as what might as well be Gods fighting one another. The sheer memorizing event caused them to become stunned as Leman Russ gave a good final attack, only for this strike to be parried and TalOS to give his fellow a good punch in the gut.
Though Leman did not fall to that, the two witnessed as the flags were drawn up. TalOS knew for a fact the two men were late, likely stunned at the sheer ferocity of actions the two men committed against one another.
It was Leman who announced, “That was pretty good brother. I should stop going easy on you.”
“Without full input my tests will be for not.” TalOS told his brother with a laugh, “Let us give it our all next time.”
To their exchange the crowd roared.
