Nozades once again stopped attacking and resumed his defenses. Once Nozades returned to his defensive state, even Chris’ Silent Punches were easily parried or blocked.

Whenever he takes my attack, an abnormal twist would appear on the black patterns outside his body

Chris silently counted, took another deep breath and struck at Nozades’ head.

The black patterns on Nozades’ face twisted a bit, allowing him to quickly take distance and face another punch.

Nozades wasn’t nearly as smug as he appeared, in fact, he was very worried right now.

Although Chris currently appeared to be powerless against him and was completely overpowered, he was actually strong without boundaries. Each time that Nozades thought he would be able to attack and end this battle, his opponent would easily dodge it. He could clearly feel that he wasn’t able to grasp his opponent’s weakness.

“If this goes on, I’ll be at a severe disadvantage” that thought appeared in Nozades’ mind as he caught another of Chris’ attacks: “Just a bit more, and then I’ll be able to take control of this fist technique as well”

“With Lord Negary’s blessing, I would definitely be the ultimate winner!” Nozades reaffirmed his faith.

5 years ago, he was only the second son of an aristocrat in the Royas Kingdom. Unable to inherit his family’s peerage, he only had the choice of becoming his brother’s butler, or follow a scholar and become his apprentice.

At that time, he could already imagine the boring life he would lead, until the author Sakri published a book that told the tales of Chris Modo. Encouraged by those tales, he decided to lead the adventurer’s life, leaving that impersonal family.

He travelled across the Royas Kingdom and trained himself to be stronger. Unfortunately, he couldn’t change the fact that he was still only the second son of an aristocrat, if he didn’t have a bit of wits to him, he wouldn’t even have been able to reach Reystromia.

The Reystromia of 5 years ago wasn’t quite as prosperous as it was today. In fact, the Kent people still sent troops to disturb the town’s peace from time to time. When he arrived at this place, the Crowmen still hadn’t been officially established, only its predecessor the Reya village guards existed.

He wasn’t particularly strong or had the money to buy any weapons at the time. The only thing he could do was barely survive in Reya, on a bad day, it wouldn’t be strange if he had gotten sick and died or starved to death. The life of an adventurer wasn’t quite the life in his dreams.

During a job he took as an escort for a merchant cargo, the cargo was ambushed by the Kent people. When he tried to retaliate, he was brutally beaten down by a barrage of fists and kicks, similar to what was currently happening.

He silently endured the pain and took the opportunity when a Kent person was careless to bite off his throat. It was due to this savage nature that after he was saved by the village guards, the leader of the village guards at the time, captain Yadley, invited him to join the newly recruiting Crowmen organization.

Back then, he endured the Kent people’s punches and kicks in order to retaliate, and he was now also enduring Chris’ attacks to do the same. Recalling when he became a Crowmen and had to choose the method of implantation, due to knowing his strengths and weaknesses, Nozades implanted the blessings of Lord Negary on different parts of his body.

The substance that was called [Black Crow] had now formed a symbiotic relationship with his body, not only allowing his physical prowess to go past the limit of humans, it even gave him a type of unique power.
