Chapter 164 - The Ark Of Pankration (1/2)

The rest of the group widened their eyes in shock.

”Li Ling...” murmured the Duchess as she witnessed her childhood friend utterly decimating the Umbra.

Ling proceeded to lock the Umbra's neck, bending the entire body. She then let it go, switching positions and holding her stance.

The Umbra then tried to kick her in the face, but the Viscountess skillfully caught the foot. She then pushed the Umbra onto the ground, still onto its leg. She delivered punch after punch on its face.

”She's never shown us that!” shouted Vernice, trying to get a look at the fight.

”That's the Greek way of Martial arts,” said Z, in utter shock.

The Umbra then dematerialized and appeared behind her.

”I praise you for doing such a bold move. But a human is only human. this limits what you can do.”

After the Umbra's warning, it then tried to strike the Viscountess's head from behind.

”Pankration!”

But Ling, without hesitation, pulled on its arm, yanking it forwards. The Umbra was slammed onto the floor, from Viscountess Ling's back.

”And you are only a Shadow. This limits your expectation of us Humans. Because.”

The Viscountess ran towards the Umbra's front, crouching down slightly. It looked pissed as it prepared to strike her face. But Ling pushed the attacking punch away.

With her other arm, she hurled her attack. She gave an uppercut towards the Umbra, sending it flying towards the corner of the wall. The Umbra landed easily on the wall, pushing itself up and quickly dashed to the Viscountess.

The Umbra appeared, trying to punch her. The Viscountess dodged each attack. She went on to attack its legs, making it fall onto the ground. She sat on the Umbra's neck, her legs restraining its head.

The Viscountess fiercely pulled on its arm by hooking the Umbra's arm around hers. Pulling on it, the Umbra howled in utter pain. With its neck locked and arm breaking, the Umbra was forced to lie there. The more it struggled, the more it hurt.

”This is payback!” yelled the Viscountess as she pulled on the Umbra's arm.

The small and weak Viscountess image in Vernice's mind quickly dissolved as she saw her childhood friend utterly send the enemy into a world of turmoil and pain.

”How is that possible? I thought she couldn't fight...”
