98 A deadly test 2 (1/2)
Although my ruse had worked and I could cover it in the magical substance of my body, I doubt that it will let me do what I want now. Especially after giving such an arrogant speech. My plan of punching it still did not change and I still had 2 minutes left where my body was empowered.
Not wasting any more time with heroic speeches I started to attack the Observer once more. His expression was still mocking me, even after it fell for my plan.
But it seems like it is taking my attacks a lot more serious now as it had begun to actively dodge my attacks. It was copying my manoeuvres and movement, just now it used my attack against me by letting my arm slide over his and returning a punch with all of his body weight.
I definitely felt that one, but I had no time to waste and so I pressed on forward instead of backing off.Even If that meant that more injuries would pile up on my body. It intended to grab my hand and copy the rest of the technique I had done.Instead, it was greeted by my fist that came crashing down onto its chin.
Sadly, it still managed to avoid even that kind of attack. Moving its head backwards it managed to get out of the range of my fist. Even the follow-up attacks aiming at his body and his legs were dodged with ease by it.
It did not let it have any chance to catch its breath if it does need to breathe in the first place. A feint indicating an attack to the head to provoke a reaction only to throw the real attack with the other hand. It avoided this attack by a hairs breath simply by ducking.
I took advantage out of the speed I had picked up and transferred the motion into a roundhouse kick aiming at his body. The Observer did not hesitate at all and closed in on me aiming a kick towards my leg that was currently carrying all of my weight.
I tried to throw my weight backwards to gain some distance and avoid this type of attack from hitting my leg. I had not expected the Observer to use this attack as a feint as well and now it ran towards me while my centre of balance was currently lost.
I decided to give up on controlling my fall and launched my leg upwards. It had not expected this decision but it countered my attempt by simply stopping its movement and waiting till I fall backwards.
By aching my arms backwards and I pushed my body away from the stomp that followed shortly after.

This short exchange left me none the wiser as I had not managed to hit this bastard even once. Its smile was ever so brightly as it raised the middle towards me. I reciprocated this gesture before I ran towards it again.
It felt like an impossible task to connect even one attack. It was always evading my attacks and even by changing my attack pattern I still could not come any closer to achieving my goal. There was no way in hell, that I could hit him by ordinary means.
Once again I came close to it and threw a punch at its face and once again it countered the same way it had done previously. Though this time I gave up on my defence and stepped in fully embracing the attack aimed at my face. This was the price I had to pay to make this attack.
My left fist came flying at its face at an alarming pace though it was still smiling and simply it's head back to get out of the range of my fist. Though it did not account for one thing, my current body was not human. I spread my fist open and launch my nails straight into his left eye crossing the gap it had made by its movement.
It was the first attack of mine that did some damage even though it barely managed to penetrate the surface of the eye. I felt encouraged by my success and resumed my wave of attacks. It moved backwards in a hurry but the nails on my foot still left a long scratch on its abdomen.
I ripped out the hairs on my arm and threw them while it had not adapted fully to the situation causing the hairs to embed on its body. I had thrown the next hairs right on after but the Observer managed to dodge them with renewed ease.
” Truly fascinating, what an obscure fighting style and a strange way to utelize those weapons of yours.”
I did not have any time to listen to its fascination and rushed to its current location. Although it continued its talk while I threw my everything at it.
” You limited your attacks to the skills a normal human can possess only to use it when the time was right and I had become accustomed towards your movement. ”
Quit stating the obvious, It pisses me off that he still can speak like that without any worry. All of my attacks were avoided once more. I had to go one step further as I grabbed a handful of my hair and started setting it on fire. Before putting them between my fingers and making a fist.
” Are you trying to extend your range by doing something like this? But, you already used a tactic like that.Truly disappointing.”
I did not listen to its provocation and began my attacks, which were evaded without a hitch once more. It ducked, weaved its head and reflected some of my attacks. Its movement was simple, yet effective.
” It had never been my aim to extend my range with them,” I said those words after it once again avoided my attacks. During my attack, I let go of the still-burning hairs and launched them at its body.
” The substance you are covered in also burns well.”
Its body was lit ablaze, but I could only sigh as those flames did not seem to have the desired effect on its flesh. As it still was laughing loudly after it had become a living torch.
” You always manage to surprise me, but this is not enough to win this battle”
What an unfair battle, I could only sigh after not even this kind of plan had worked. Despite still burning it was holding a lecture in front of me. Do I have to disintegrate its body to win? Well, then I might as well write my will now.
if even fire is not enough, then I just have to destroy the human body itself. A human body has its limitations, no matter how strong a human is a broken lack and any mobility is gone. So let us resume our fighting.
This time it still tried its best to dodge all of my attacks but the flames were impacting his vision due to their brightness. Though even this handicap was not having much influence on its abilities. It still was enough to lower it speed just enough so it could not dodge all of my attacks. So I began to focus all of my attacks on its knee cap to limit its mobility.
Despite being able to hit its right knee cap several times, the intended effect was meagre at best. Right now it was just taunting me as it was still flipping me off while dodging my attacks. I was ashamed of facing someone of its calibre, even I still could learn a lot just watching the greatness of this simple gesture. Just thinking about what it could do if had all of my knowledge makes me accept my inferiority.
Since targeting the knee cap did not show any results I began to target the next area. Exploiting the lack of vision I threw a punch at his face which is still dodged. But I had accounted for that much, as I aimed to grab the fur on his shoulder.
Pulling it downwards I could finally target a spot, which would make him lose of on its senses Using my nails I penetrated his ears and injured the set of nerves responsible for keeping the body balanced.
It was not even remotely phased by destroying his ears. It truly is fast at adapting the magic particles to ensure, that it can keep on fighting without the body losing any of its fighting capabilities. I can target those spots all day long and it will still be pointless if it just can adjust the magic particles.
Then its time to target those areas, that have been injured by my previous attacks. Easier said than done though, I am quite sure it would not stand still and wait.
The ability to manipulate and gather all those information by manipulating every mana particle truly is a cheat.
It still does not take me seriously and just keeps on provoking and taunting me. Well if I were it I would do the same.
Resuming my attacks once more, everything was yet again for nought as it was taking the fight a bit more serious. Well, even though this idea might work, it still will be useless if I can not accomplish to hit the wounded areas.
In the meantime, it was still smiling at me as if it was cheering me on to try the impossible. Its arrogance truly rivals my own. But I refuse to let it beat me and my own game, I will not endure such a humiliation.
