All in!!!

You decide to stay on the offensive, trying your best to keep Rixx on his toes. You slice your short sword left and right, which is easily blocked by his great sword, and then his forearm. His armor makes him extremely difficult to even pierce your blade into.

You jump backwards, bringing your short sword to your chest, you know all the armor that he's wearing must weight him down. You know if you keep jumping back and forth you should eventually wear him out. You try you best to continue this strategy, although you know you are already wearing yourself out...

You pierce your short sword forward *CHINK* and it just skims across his breastplate as it doesn't do any damage. Rixx, steps backwards, readying his blade. He gives it a huge slash, with so much power. You know you don't have time to dodge it so you either have to take the hit, or block it with your short sword.

Your sword goes up, to block the invading attack. There is so much power in the swing, so much power in the attack, as the steel connects each other you lose your grip, your short sword flying from your hands.

Your eyes go wide, you're suddenly without any weapons, you only have your leather clad fists. This master of the arena, still in his full armor, still with his great sword. You start to worry. Is this the end?
