40 Ch 40 | Genuine Devils Walk (1/2)

While he was bent down and catching his breath, his back was patted by a hard steel-like hand. He did not even look back and just continued to breathe heavily.

David who just came here for morning exercise was dressed in a black tight-fitting vest and trousers, revealing his well built muscles on arms. He looked at Alexander with worry and said, ”Brother, what happened? You are not feeling well?”

Alexander slowly straightened his back, and while controlling his breathing he shook his head and replied ”I am ok! It's just... I got tired after practising a technique!”

Listening to the word 'technique', David's eyes lit up and all the care and worry was washed off. He asked in an excited tone, ”Bro, what technique can make you tired? I am observing you from a few days and I know you can already work out as much as an average student from our combat classes. ”

David was a martial art and fighting techniques enthusiast since childhood and now he knew that his brother was practicing a 'technique', so he needed to enquire more about it and if that technique is a trash, he'll be providing him with better technique.

Alexander looked at his excited face, which looked like a child and said two words without any emotion, ”Devil's Walk”

Hiss!

David took a deep breath after listening to the name and asked while he stumbled a few steps back, ”You are kidding, right? How can you get that legendary technique that's well secured by those world-class fighters?”

Alexander rolled his eyes as he said, ”I was planning to give you the technique as well! But you don't believe, Tch..tch.”

David rolled his eyes as he still didn't believe Alexander's word and thus he started running around the track, without speaking anything further.

Alexander also knew that actions speak louder than words, thus he started practising his footwork once again without speaking anything to David.

David completed a lap and when he passed by Alexander, he frowned as he saw the weird pattern of steps, Alexander was following. But soon his eyes grew wide and mouth was as wide as an egg. He cursed as he stopped, ”F**k! How are you not making any sound as you are walking this fast on the grass?”

Alexander turned back and looked at him and repeated his words, ”Devil's Walk”

This time David didn't retort back and started to doubt his own thoughts from few minutes back.

”Is this really Devil's Walk?”

He stood fixed at his place as he observed Alexander's feet patterns. He didn't really believe it even now, as this Devil's Walk can be considered a top-class footwork technique. This was used by chaotic land forces, to dominate over the chaotic regions. And there was no reason for them to handover their treasure to other people and Alexander cannot get it.

”Whether it's false or true, I'll know it if I try practising it!”

He thought as he started following the same step patterns as Alexander.

At first, he was able to listen to his foot crushing the weeds, but after some time he felt a stinging pain in his lower abdomen and knee joints and slowly the sound of weeds crushing under his steps became fainter.

”F**k! This really works!”
