Chapter 101: The Iron Strings. (1/2)

*Crack*

His eyes widened.

In an instant, all the fingers in his hand had twisted from within the glove.

It wasn't just the finger which had begun twisting, but also his arms.

They twisted in such a frightening way that the sound of crunching sent a chill down even Violet's spine.

She hated using this move, but it was the only one which would get her out of this situation.

Just as she expected, the strings loosened after his arm had twisted beyond repair. Despite that however, not a single groan of pain had come out of him.

With the aid of her telekinesis she was able to undo the string completely.

But now that she was free what would she do?

She couldn't just fly up and out like last time. The thins were almost naked to the human eye.

Not to mention it was dark in the store as it was night outside.

What now? There was only one option in her eyes.

She quickly propelled herself back the way she came but ended up coming to a sudden stop as she noticed the thin string on the corner of her eye.

After getting a closer look, she realised that if she hadn't stopped, she would have lost a limb in that very same instant.

”That's not good. You're supposed to finish me off when you have the opportunity.” He said as he rose up.

His arms were reverting back to normal, untwisting themselves as they rotated in the opposite direction.

A grin could be seen on his face. He had a look of ecstacy as he took a step towards Violet.

”Ah… That ability… I could almost feel it… Wanna try it again?” He asked.

Violet shivered.

'What the hell is up with this guy…?'

She thrust her arms forward, the air burst towards him, flinging him away.

At the same time, he pulled his arm back, closing his finger as he tampered with the strings.

Violet who saw this, reflexively leapt away from her spot.

She glanced back and noticed his strings suddenly enclose on the area where she had been standing.

Had she not moved, it wouldn't have just been the air getting sliced.

'If his strings are all around us…'

Violet's arm which was stretched out towards him was suddenly pulled back by her.

As she did so, his figure could be seen heading right towards her at a high velocity.

”Oh~ You would prefer a close-range fight instead? Smart move” He said with a smile.

He pulled his arm back, preparing for a punch as they were about to collide.

The string in the surrounding area wrapped around his arm, steeling it for his punch.

Simultaneously, the string's detached from the surrounding wall, before retracting to trap her and keep her stuck in place.

The unexpected happened however as rather than trying to avoid it and getting trapped, she ended up propelling herself right towards it.

The horned ones eyes widened as he punched at her face, swinging with everything he had.

With the steel strings acting as a gauntlet, he knew that all it would take was one punch.

*Swoosh*

But he missed. His fist went right over her long purple hair.
