37 A Little Spar (2/2)

Dean couldn't help but smirk at the thought that Pierre and Anne were actually going to attempt to kill him

'You want to play this game, hmmph. We'll see the results at the end'

Once entering the center of the plain, Anne and Pierre turned towards Dean

Facing each other and glaring into each other's souls, Dean refused to yield at their tyranny but this caused an awkward silence that lasted an unusually long time.

Anne had obviously noticed this and coughed

”We're here to-”

Dean was paying attention to what Anne was attempting to say however a fist was inching closer to his face that he had to first notice.

It was not out of expectation that underhanded methods would be used but to start the fight like this left Dean confused.

Originally he thought that it was Christian calling the scummy methods but to think that Anne and Pierre started to adopt his tactics was interesting.

Anne held back her words and instead shrugged.

Pushing the fist away from him, Dean took advantage of the situation to kick towards Pierre at full strength

Theoretically he should be incapacitated however for an odd reason he was fine without anything too serious and only a few scratches

The minimum amount of strength to have that capability was at the very least a Nascent Soul Cultivator.

From the last minute aura Dean had sensed he gave an estimate of what strength Pierre contained.

According to his estimation it should at least be Nascent Soul 1 Cultivator

If that was so then it was very likely for Anne to have the same cultivation level.

Dean thought they were her to kill him however they had yet to pull out any weapons

'Either they are naive or they want to toy with me'

Thinking of those conclusions, Dean's eyes gleamed like an emerald.

Infuriated by the belittling, Dean still respected his opponents to not take advantage of them by using a dangerous weapon

Instead they brawled using their fists.

Dean was going to Pierre's legs like Joe's however his speed was unsuspectingly fast.

Now left in an open position, Pierre struck down with his elbow which could have caused serious damage however Dean let his leg flow upwards.

Transforming it into a knee, both clashed and caused a subtle sourness to be felt.

Pierre was still recovering from the unexpected strike and tried to see what Dean was doing.

Seeing a punch coming straight towards his abdomen, there was nothing much he could do.

Dean saw that victory was close and made sure that he wanted Pierre to suffer a little and infused some Battle Intent to the punch.

Anne had enough of the complications and used her Transmutation magic.

Pierre's stomach began to become slippery causing Dean's punch to slide towards his left.

The comical scene left Pierre to laugh

”We just want to talk.”

Anne added more detail for Dean

”Nothing more and nothing less. We want an alliance to kill Christian.”

”...What?”
