Both Max and the perfect warrior lost HP rapidly as they both stared into one another's eyes.
Max's grip on the perfect warrior's neck was ironclad while the perfect warrior's grip on Max's neck was tight as well.
Neither was willing to let the other one go and were throwing punches at each other's faces from a point blank range.

Max took about five million in damage with every punch, while the perfect warrior took about a million.
While the strength of both individuals was similar, since Max could feel that the perfect warrior could not overpower him and force him to free his neck, the difference in the defensive ability was massive.
Thankfully, the perfect warrior was also taking a large amount of damage from the power of the seed of destruction, making it so that the net damage he took was higher than the one suffered by Max.
" You've converted this into a dog fight….. well played" The perfect warrior said, however, Max did not even listen to his words.
At this point he was already completely overwhelmed by the corruption of the seed of destruction and was acting upon the singular instinct of destroying his opponent.
Rudra, from the very first time he faced the perfect warrior wanted to drag him into a dog-fight like the one Max was having against him currently, however, he was never able to do so.
Yet, Max was able to do so, only because the Avatar that the perfect warrior had sent to the controlled universe had only 40% of his true strength and could not utilise many of his abilities.
The lack of the perfect warrior's full strength, coupled with Max's luck in putting him in a position where he could not use a single spell and his HP was being corroded by the seed of destruction, gave him the edge in the battle to dish out more damage than what he took, however, unfortunately, it was not going to be enough.
While he had a massive HP pool of nearly 800 million points, the HP pool of even the weakened perfect warrior was 1.5 billion.
At the rate they were going, it was going to be Max who would hit the rock bottom first, however, consumed by the seed, he did not even realise the precarious position that he was currently in.
" You will die at this rate….. Is your death trying to injure me worth it?" The perfect warrior asked as he landed a mean looking punch on Max's face, only to be punched right back by Max's fist.
Naturally, Max heard nothing and kept punching hard as the perfect warrior sighed and accepted the fact that Max might die here.
He was genuinely hoping that Max would entertain him more my ascending to the celestial realm someday, but he wasn't overly fixated on that goal either.
If not Max, then someone else would rise to challenge him in a thousand years and perhaps he could be more interesting than even Max was.
Since it was Max himself who was fighting with suicidal tendencies, the perfect warrior saw no reason in trying to spare him.
" Alright then, it'll be your funeral" he said, when he suddenly felt a sharp attack coming from behind him, however, he was powerless in trying to evade.
*SPLAT*
A javelin pierced an inch deep into his skin and caused a minor 5 million damage.

It was the universal Queen and Drax who had shown up to back up their lord as with the perfect warrior held in place, they began blasting attacks at his back.
*SPLAT*

One after another, Drax planted tier8 Spears into the perfect warrior's back, while the queen shot at him with arrows.
Within five seconds, the duo blasted close to 120 javelins and over 5000 arrows into his back as the perfect warrior's HP dropped to a critical red.
"Will I fail today?" The perfect warrior wondered as suddenly the tide of the battle had changed into Max's favour.
With the entry of his aides, his DPS was finally enough to subdue the perfect warrior, who because of his inability to use healing spells was on the verge of succumbing to the damage.
"Well played, Shakuni, you have placed your pawns well" The perfect warrior said as he looked towards the sky and straight into the eyes of Shakuni who was watching down on this fight from the celestial realm.
*BAM*

One last hit by Max on the perfect warrior's face finally broke the camel's back as his avatar disintegrated and began to disperse.
" Haa– haa—" Max panted loudly as his body had been pushed to the limit as well.
With the perfect warrior gone, he suddenly had no enemy left to destroy, however, with his mind not in the right place he kept looking for one.
His HP was also in the critical red with less than 30 million points left and if he continued to circulate destructive aura through his body at the rate that he was, it would be not more than a few seconds before he died as well, as observing the situation, the queen rushed to heal him.
[ Max heal ]
[ Total recovery ]
[ Absolute Dispel ]
[ Sacrifice ]
She used all sorts of healing spells and status debuff removal spells at once trying to uplift Max's HP, however, as a result of her trying to save his life, Max turned his attention towards her and lunged at her with the intention to attack.
" Lord Max?" Drax questioned as he could not understand the cause behind Max's bizarre behaviour, but the queen did.
Max had been consumed by the seeds' corruptive powers and now it was solely upto her to restrain him.
If she failed, Max could end up destroying half the universe before he regained his senses.
