Chapter 81: The Finale Of Vengeance 2

Seth put up his own guard, blocking Aldrich's light jabs as he counter circled against Aldrich in a carefully calculated dance, each e when to strike

Seth was a few inches taller than Aldrich, giving hi his distance, throwing out punches at the li between one of Seth's punches and getting right inside Seth's range

Here, in an in-fight, Aldrichthe tas the betterthe two had dedicated their entire life to training just to match up the superpowered bodies around the Seth raise his guard high, but then iut, doubling hi up with a solid uppercut that sent Seth flying backwards with the resonating crack of irunted as he stopped his fall by floating in the air, landing on his feet gently His breathing wheezed as he wiped blood from a burst lip Very likely, his jaw had fractured too

He spat out two teeth knocked loose from Aldrich's uppercut

"Look at you," said Aldrich "Without all that power, you're nothing You don't knohat it's like to train every single day of your life to measure up to even one tenth of the weakest Alter around you, and it shows"

"Shut up!" Seth yelled as he charged Aldrich, this tirapple Aldrich down

Aldrich kne to defend against a takedown There were three real options here One was to strike the opponent when he got into range The second was to dodge The third was to meet the takedown head on

Aldrich took the third option He lowered his center of gravity andSeth froround immediately Aldrich's plan was to elbon on Seth's exposed neck while he stayed at Aldrich's hip level

However, the takedoas a feint It was rip on Aldrich's waist, preventing hi away

The reason for this becaht eye started to glow a bright gold as he channeled up a solar beay he had left, he could only e up a beam from one eye, but he aimed this now at Aldrich's face

Aldrich reacted swiftly andit firht eye with all hisdeep into the eye, co it entirely He shoved Aldrich away and put his hands over his face as the built-up solar energy detonated inside of his crushed eye, co out an eh a grotesque wound, did not kill Seth

The wound had cauterized on its own, preventing bleeding, and it had not burned into the brain itself

Coupled with Seth's own stubborn will and superhu

But Aldrich did not stop there He rushed towards Seth from his new blind side, and when Seth heard Aldrich near, he roared and sildly with a right hook

Aldrich easily maneuvered past the punch and rotated behind Seth,Seth's arm in a lock Aldrich then pulled the Alter's ar the ar Seth's face

With Aldrich's free arainst Seth's defenseless head

Seth raised his one good aruard, but there was only so much one aruard to land his strikes

Punch after punch after punch

The sound of enhanced flesh cracking against enhanced flesh resonated through the arena

Seth's face bloodied inco his facial o, tossing hiround before weakly raising hi his face of blood, sweat, and the tre why Aldrich had just let hi toto break you down bit by bit Piece by piece" Aldrich ripped off the bloodied, tattered remains of his suit jacket and dress shi+rt "Until there's nothing left of you"

"Come on then…," said Seth weakly

Aldrich ran into Seth's range Seth cluht was over Seth had taken too ainst a master martial artist like Aldrich, even just a tiny little lapse in ability was a fatal flaw

Aldrich ducked beneath Seth's strike and landed an elbow right into Seth's sto ribs

Aldrich then hooked his arm around one of Seth's and used Seth's arain

With Seth on the ground and still reeling frout shot, Aldrich took this opportunity and went down on the ground his around Seth's ar pressure, co snap

Seth roared in pain as he writhed on the ground like a wor Seth foa at the mouth with spit and blood as he processed the pain

Aldrich watched Seth struggle for a few seconds before his broitched in anger

"Get up," said Aldrich as he stood and watched Seth convulsing in pain on the ground He saw Seth's struggling, suffering wracked forht "Get up! All the pain you've caused, all the lives you've taken, and THIS is what you have to show for it!? Pathetic!"

Seth grit his teeth and got on a knee, his left ar liood," whispered Aldrich

Seth breathed deeply before yelling and flying towards Aldrich in a surprising final burst of power dredged up from the depths of his will to survive
