97 A deadly test 1 (1/2)
After a lengthy session discussing all of my proposals we could finally agree on most of them. To be honest I got away with more than I had hoped for. Although every option I had asked for was something that would bring me a lot of advantages not everything was feasible.
” That much was obvious, you are not an honest person after all.”
The person standing right next to me was the Observer who had still taken over the body of the NPC. After our discussion came to an end, I was teleported into a special realm and got to see my future protégé.
” My surroundings leave me with no other choice. After all, I have to deal with you and that old fogey inside of my body. I have to fight nail and tooth for every little advantage. Who of us isn't scheming and planning against the other? It would be foolish to not do so.”
” I am not as delusional to think I can escape death and live forever. But that does not mean, that I won't everything it takes to see tomorrow.”
The Observer clapped his hands and walked closer to me while he was looking at me as if I was his favourite toy.
” No matter what I throw at you, you always manage to surprise me. It is regrettable that our interests do not align.”
Seems like I have to move head sideways now. I thought to myself as I began to move my body.
” I like your interest in the martial arts and fighting style of us humans, but I would appreciate it if you did not aim for the head first. ”
Moving backwards to gain some distance while gauging his next actions on how to proceed.
” Alleviating your boredom is fine by me, but shouldn't we do something first about the idiot there throwing fireballs over and over again at those poor wolves?”
A kick aiming at my midsection, just by moving forward I could avoid the damage. The counterattack was simply kicking the other leg which was currently holding all of the body weight. By shifting the hips and moving my foot sideways I amplify the power of the kick.Aiming for a downward angle I can deal as much damage as possible.
Although all of my efforts were just shrugged off without any effort from its side. The next attack did come without any relay and was still aiming at my face.
Using one of my hands to let his arm slide over it before moving my upper body and throwing an attack with my other hand. Sadly even if I put behind all of my weight behind one of my punches I leave no trace of damage.
” That body of yours is quite something. No sign of damage after I threw an attack like that.”
The fight continued as I spoke with him and he grabbed my hand that had just graced his face. Leaving me with no other choice than shifting my centre of balance and let myself fall backwards while using the gravity to pull him with me.
Since he was no signs of letting go I shifted my hips once more changing the angle and making it harder for him to exert any strength due to the lack of stable footing. Taking advantage out of its missing balance I rammed my other elbow into its ribs as his body was still moving forwards after my pull.
Despite my best effort, it was still holding on to my arm. Even if my body was not weakened I still would not dare to fight someone of its calibre. Or rather I would choose to fight in a space, in which it did not have absolute control over. Since it wants to experience all of my fighting styles, I will not do my utmost to leave an impression.
In my current situation, I could forget about using any fancy movements. I send a flurry of attacks targeted at vital spots. A karate chop to the throat, a kick towards the groin, slapping both of his ears or poking his eyes nothing showed any signs of effect.
Since even that strategy did not net any results, I had to try something different. I decided to jump over its body and using its arm and try to choke him out. Of course, even this strategy did not work as only a faint laugh came over its lips. Dealing with such a fellow is quite vexing if nothing works.
” You should not worry about him but yourself. You can go all out I won't get hurt I promise”
it has truly learned a lot from me, it even manages to piss me off. Well, then let me do something quite unhealthy.
The expenditure of energy increases massively and it is quite taxing on my body. Despite not standing any chance, I do not want to give up without having tried anything.
An empowered attack will not deal any damage, but at least I can vent some of my frustration by hitting it. Though it had other plans for me. After my attack connected, it threw me away with quite some force.
” I am getting bored just defending, you don't mind if I start attacking right?”
” Oh, you are taking pity on me, even announcing your intention.”
Right hand to the face, while closing in on me and following it up with a kick. I had no intention of getting hit or stopping my attacks to focus on defending. I threw my right and aimed at its face.
It would most likely ignore my attack due to its contempt regarding my lacklustre strength. But my aim was not his face but to grab the fur on his body. After utilizing this kind of feint I pulled him downwards while moving my knee upwards aiming at his nose.
I felt an impact, but the result was still the same. I had no time to wait, so I grabbed one of his arms and twisted it around. Holding it behind his back, I began to control his movement and set another kick at the back of its knees. To try and force him to lose his balance once more. Yet it still had no impact as my kick felt like it hit a brick wall.
Holding onto his arm was not something I could do, as an elbow strick was currently coming towards me. I jumped back to get away out of its attack range for now.
” No one said, that you have to use even more speed. As if things were not unfair enough before we had started our little skirmish.”
I should stop trying to speak and fight at the same time. I was forced to dodge 2 jabs that came to me in quick succession. This motherfucker did not show any signs of consideration and attacked me as if I was owing money to it.
I am glad it was not aiming for my vitals, but it was rubbing me the wrong way that each of his attacks was currently aiming at my face. It was still picking up the pace and the attacks came faster and faster. Shit, it becomes even hard to see the trajectory of them.
Relying on my intuition I can still evade most of its attacks. Though some attacks had managed to hit my face making me wish that I had managed to dodge in time. I did not even have any time to throw any attacks of my own as both of my arms were forced to defend against its attempts.
