Then the stranger leapt across the gap, striking Kratos with a powerful uppercut, which launched him skyward. The stranger followed him up, and while Kratos scrabbled about on the ground, trying to regain his feet beneath him, the stranger stomped all over him before kicking him deep into the crevasse.
Kratos hit the bottom with a loud thud. He shook his head to clear his blurred vision. As he climbed the side of the crevasse, he could hear the stranger shouting.
“This fight is pointless. Your struggle is pointless. You cannot beat me.”
With trembling arms, Kratos emerged to assume a fighting stance across from the stranger.
“This again. Come on then.” The stranger’s smile crept all the way into Kratos’ soul.
