Chapter 98: The Truth Behind The System. (2/2)

Axel suddenly planted the leg which he had thrust at Gray into the ground, before pivoting off of it and sending a kick at Gray from the side.

Again, it was at a speed faster than the eye could see, and yet, Gray avoided it once again without so much as looking at it as he ducked.

As the kick passed above him, Gray swiped Axel's leg which he had been using as a pivot, knocking him off balance.

A punch followed right after, slamming Axel right in the middle of his face.

Axel's head bopped back as he stumbled backwards.

Gray followed it after, unleashing a punch right in the middle of his stomach before following up with a hook from the left.

*Swoosh!*

[Accelerate]

With his skill, he avoided the punch in the last second, ducking down to the right.

However - *BAM!*

A kick was already there, waiting for him. Gray had predicted it.

Axel's brain trembled inside of his head as the kick landed right in the middle of his temple.

Still with his remaining energy, he accelerated a punch and sent it right towards Gray's face.

*Thud*

Axel's emotionless eyes widened as Gray caught the fist.

He proceeded to send another accelerated kick right at Gray's temple with his other leg, but that very same kick, Gray avoided as he ducked down.

Axel tried to retreat to process what was happening, but Gray's grip over his hand wasn't letting off.

With his increased Strength and Sense, Axel might have been moving fast. But for Gray… He might as well have been standing still.

In a struggle to get out of his grip. Axel thrust his legs in a kick, repeatedly at Gray.

A barrage of kicks, one followed after another as they made their way towards Gray's face.

Gray's head swayed left to right, side to side, up to down. He avoided all the kicks, perfectly without so much as a scratch.

On the 8th kick, Gray stepped in, swaying to avoid the kick as he did so.

”Sorry.”

Those were the last word's axel heard, but all he could see was a fist ahead of him.

*Swoosh!*

[Accelerate]

He avoided by a hairs breath. A small cut formed on his face.

But now was his chance. He had an opening.

The instant he stepped into strike.

*BAM!!!*

He had been so focused on the fist that he hadn't realised, the knee which had followed after it.

It striked him right in the middle of his chin, knocking him out.

Axel's figure collapsed onto the ground. His pupils could no longer be seen as he was out cold.

”Is that good enough for you, system?” Gray asked as he turned to the orb.

It made sense for it to be that way, after all, Gray's fighting style was only based on the things he could see. He would simply imitate them.

The mimic of Axel disappeared, and a new mimic of a different person appeared right after.

With a cold look on his face, Gray raised his arms.
