Chapter 174: Frozen (2/2)

Cracks were heard from both Moby's arms before he was sent flying in the direction behind him at incredible speed.

The impact from his punch was several times harder than that of the first punch that he delivered to him. He was either holding back or he had gotten much stronger due to his inner spirit, the second option being the more likely.

Just like before, Moby crashed through several trees, breaking through them like they were twigs.

Then, after what he felt like endless crashing and air time, he felt a cold, soothing sensation as he suddenly lost his ability to breathe.

He was now fully submerged in water, most likely the river in front of the waterfall he was aiming for. It all worked out exactly as he planned... He angled himself perfectly in order to boost himself using Jason's punch to his destination. It was extremely risky as it was not guaranteed that he would have landed in the river. Plus, he had to sustain an insane amount of damage to boost himself. But in the end, it was all worth it, it all seemed to have worked out perfectly.

Now all he needed to do was lure Jason straight into his trap...

Moby forced his injured body to stand up, the water reaching around the middle of his thighs as he began to limp away towards the waterfall in what could only be described as fear and desperation.

However, he only managed to reach about halfway to the waterfall before a great slashing sound came from behind him.

”HAHAHA! Where did that confident attitude of yours disappear to? Now you look so pathetic! What kind of stupid idea are you thinking? That the waterfall could maybe block or drown out the sound of my snaps? Tough luck! Such a plan would never work!” Jason screamed, his arrogance starting to come back as his anger began to slightly subside.

Nags, who had been spectating the entire exchange from a tree above the river was looking down at Moby with clear disappointment in his eyes, paying close attention to his sorry, pathetic state. He thought much more from him… He thought that he might have even been able to give him an exciting fight but it seemed like he was sorely mistaken and thought of him in too high of a regard, he just got his hopes up for nothing. His previous antics must have all just been from the result of luck.

*Sigh…*

”You disappointed me… The boss must have made the same mistake I did by overestimating your abilities… What a sha-” Nags said in a bored yet casual tone before biting his tongue as he looked down at what was happening beneath him.

”Now die!” Jason yelled with a creepy look on his face, his legs fully submerged in the river's water as he stared at Moby's behind limping away from his direction.

*Snap*

”What the fuck!?”

*Snap* *Snap* *Snap* *Snap*

”Why isn't this working!”

*Snap* *Snap* *Snap* *Snap* *Snap* *Snap* *Snap* *Snap*

”You bitch! What did you do to me!? I can't move!” Jason roared in outrage, his anger boiling up once more, making Moby reply with a less than innocent smirk on his face.

”Look under you…”

When he did, he noticed thick, purple ice growing out of the water beneath him, as it quickly began to grow and spread around his entire body.

”WHATTT! How is this possible!? Is there an ice ability user somewhere near here!? Did you set me up with one of your friends!? You fucking dirty coward!” Jason roared in outrage, smashing the ice underneath him as it began to grow, only for him to be too slow as he was unable to stop the ice's advances on his body as it had already spread to the top of his chest.

”No, that was all me, why don't you look at this?” Moby said with a confident, mocking tone as he pointed out the trail of purple ice spreading from his body towards Jason.

”AHHHH!! You'll fucking pay for this! I am not sure how you did this but you have embarrassed and mocked me for the last fucking time! I'll kill you! I'll kill you! I'll kill you! I'LL FUCKING KILL YOU!” Jason roared before he was able to scream no more as a thick layer of purple ice engulfed his entire body, making Moby laugh at loud in victory, relief, and hilarity as he stared at Jason who was frozen with a less than pleasant expression on his face.
