Witnessing such supernatural power, the God of War ran at the stranger and grabbed him by the throat, dangling him off the ground.
“You are slow and old. You should never have come to Midgard,” the stranger taunted.
“You talk too much,” the God of War said.
Kratos pommeled the stranger’s face, intent on finishing him off before he might regain his strength. As the God of War’s strength began to wane, slowing his assault, the stranger leveraged Kratos’ shoulder to flip him rearward and reverse their positions. He unleashed a quick, powerful flurry of punches.
