604 Jack vs Torian (1/2)
Torian was fuming mad. Accepting and losing such a challenge as earlier was disgrace enough and now he couldn't even get past a god that had ascended days ago.
”What's on your mind?” asked Jack, teasing the Thundering God. ”I'm really lv. 91, I promise.”
”Liar!”
Torian threw another round of lightning bolts, scattering them across half the city. Yet multiple Jack's appeared everywhere, throwing spectral flares in defense.
”The best defense is a great offense, at least that's what I've heard,” Jack laughed. ”For that reason, It's my turn!”
Jack suddenly appeared before Torian, fearlessly swinging his scythe-like claws toward the Storm Dragon's neck. But Torian roared and swatted at Jack's claws with his tail. At the same time, however, Torian felt a few fingers touch the top of his head. The Thundering God immediately retreated at his greatest speed and climbed higher into the sky.
”Coward!” Jack shouted, pursuing Torian.
But the moment Torian disappeared through the clouds, lightning bolts showered down upon the barrier. This forced Jack back onto defense as more and more lightning bolts fell from the sky without end.
This took place for a few seconds until Torian rushed back down in retreat from another copy of Jack.
Again, fingers touched the Storm Dragon's head but he refused to offer Jack a clean opportunity to perform cerebral collapse. The constant shift from offense to defense was unusual but necessary in their situation.
”Want to settle this like men?” questioned Jack.
”And how would that be?”
”Ha! You are a man, therefore, you're not allowed to pass!”
Six copies of Jack appeared and surround Torian from all sides. The Thundering God emitted a powerful pulse of electricity to eliminate the fakes but was stunned to find them all as fake. Jack was nowhere to be found.
”You're the coward!” slandered Torian, covering all surroundings in a vast net of electricity.
Torian then felt another touch on his head but didn't flee this time. His flexible tail whipped around at full speed to dismember the arm that dared attempt such a trick. Blood spilled as an image of Jack appeared and started to fade out after losing an arm.
