Bornandtorn - Chapter 97 A deadly test 1

After a lengthy session discussing all of my proposals we could finally agree on most of them. To be honest I got away with more than I had hoped for. Although every option I had asked for was something that would bring me a lot of advantages not everything was feasible.

” That much was obvious, you are not an honest person after all.”

The person standing right next to me was the Observer who had still taken over the body of the NPC. After our discussion came to an end, I was teleported into a special realm and got to see my future protégé.

” My surroundings leave me with no other choice. After all, I have to deal with you and that old fogey inside of my body. I have to fight nail and tooth for every little advantage. Who of us isn’t scheming and planning against the other? It would be foolish to not do so.”

” I am not as delusional to think I can escape death and live forever. But that does not mean, that I won’t everything it takes to see tomorrow.”

The Observer clapped his hands and walked closer to me while he was looking at me as if I was his favourite toy.

” No matter what I throw at you, you always manage to surprise me. It is regrettable that our interests do not align.”

Seems like I have to move head sideways now. I thought to myself as I began to move my body.

” I like your interest in the martial arts and fighting style of us humans, but I would appreciate it if you did not aim for the head first. ”

Moving backwards to gain some distance while gauging his next actions on how to proceed.

” Alleviating your boredom is fine by me, but shouldn’t we do something first about the idiot there throwing fireballs over and over again at those poor wolves?”

A kick aiming at my midsection, just by moving forward I could avoid the damage. The counterattack was simply kicking the other leg which was currently holding all of the body weight. By shifting the hips and moving my foot sideways I amplify the power of the kick.Aiming for a downward angle I can deal as much damage as possible.

Although all of my efforts were just shrugged off without any effort from its side. The next attack did come without any relay and was still aiming at my face.

Using one of my hands to let his arm slide over it before moving my upper body and throwing an attack with my other hand. Sadly even if I put behind all of my weight behind one of my punches I leave no trace of damage.

” That body of yours is quite something. No sign of damage after I threw an attack like that.”

The fight continued as I spoke with him and he grabbed my hand that had just graced his face. Leaving me with no other choice than shifting my centre of balance and let myself fall backwards while using the gravity to pull him with me.

Since he was no signs of letting go I shifted my hips once more changing the angle and making it harder for him to exert any strength due to the lack of stable footing. Taking advantage out of its missing balance I rammed my other elbow into its ribs as his body was still moving forwards after my pull.

Despite my best effort, it was still holding on to my arm. Even if my body was not weakened I still would not dare to fight someone of its calibre. Or rather I would choose to fight in a space, in which it did not have absolute control over. Since it wants to experience all of my fighting styles, I will not do my utmost to leave an impression.

In my current situation, I could forget about using any fancy movements. I send a flurry of attacks targeted at vital spots. A karate chop to the throat, a kick towards the groin, slapping both of his ears or poking his eyes nothing showed any signs of effect.

Since even that strategy did not net any results, I had to try something different. I decided to jump over its body and using its arm and try to choke him out. Of course, even this strategy did not work as only a faint laugh came over its lips. Dealing with such a fellow is quite vexing if nothing works.

” You should not worry about him but yourself. You can go all out I won’t get hurt I promise”

it has truly learned a lot from me, it even manages to piss me off. Well, then let me do something quite unhealthy.

The expenditure of energy increases massively and it is quite taxing on my body. Despite not standing any chance, I do not want to give up without having tried anything.

An empowered attack will not deal any damage, but at least I can vent some of my frustration by hitting it. Though it had other plans for me. After my attack connected, it threw me away with quite some force.

” I am getting bored just defending, you don’t mind if I start attacking right?”

” Oh, you are taking pity on me, even announcing your intention.”

Right hand to the face, while closing in on me and following it up with a kick. I had no intention of getting hit or stopping my attacks to focus on defending. I threw my right and aimed at its face.

It would most likely ignore my attack due to its contempt regarding my lacklustre strength. But my aim was not his face but to grab the fur on his body. After utilizing this kind of feint I pulled him downwards while moving my knee upwards aiming at his nose.

I felt an impact, but the result was still the same. I had no time to wait, so I grabbed one of his arms and twisted it around. Holding it behind his back, I began to control his movement and set another kick at the back of its knees. To try and force him to lose his balance once more. Yet it still had no impact as my kick felt like it hit a brick wall.

Holding onto his arm was not something I could do, as an elbow strick was currently coming towards me. I jumped back to get away out of its attack range for now.

” No one said, that you have to use even more speed. As if things were not unfair enough before we had started our little skirmish.”

I should stop trying to speak and fight at the same time. I was forced to dodge 2 jabs that came to me in quick succession. This motherfucker did not show any signs of consideration and attacked me as if I was owing money to it.

I am glad it was not aiming for my vitals, but it was rubbing me the wrong way that each of his attacks was currently aiming at my face. It was still picking up the pace and the attacks came faster and faster. Shit, it becomes even hard to see the trajectory of them.

Relying on my intuition I can still evade most of its attacks. Though some attacks had managed to hit my face making me wish that I had managed to dodge in time. I did not even have any time to throw any attacks of my own as both of my arms were forced to defend against its attempts.

If I manage to shift one of its attacks the next one just comes right back into my face before I can change its trajectory. The frequency of attacks that hits my face keeps on increasing and yet this idiot still keeps on increasing his attack speed.

Even after giving up my defence and using its speed against it, my punches were still ignored. Though my bones were feeling the impact, that had just occurred. Clicking my death I had no choice than defending myself at all cost. If I cant mitigate all of its attacks, all I have to do is move my body to take away the force of those that come through my defences.

This strategy had mixed results as I could prevent a lot of pain, but upon noticing my act, the fucker put a lot more strength into its punches to make me regret this kind of decision. I had no other choice than keeping my distance and minimize the time I am in its effective range.

Though even this strategy did not yield many results as it started to utelize its speed once more and aiming some of its attacks towards my legs to limit my mobility.

This was the first time I was treated like a child, utterly ridiculed and toyed with. Even if my abilities are enough to fight those weak players, it is just not enough in the grand scheme. I am no prodigy, I have not studied any extreme tactics or acquired any skills that go beyond the normal. In those matters, I am just average with no hopes of competing against the truly talented people from Earth.

Despite my nonexisting odds of success and only injuries awaiting me, I still had a big smile upon my face. I come to enjoy this kind of thing. Masochistic tendencies sure cloud my reasoning at times. I will have to think about it later. I will have enough time to do that, those haemorrhages and bruises will take a bit of time to heal up.

” You truly are weird, even after showing you a big disparity like that you continue and even go so far as to increase the output of your body, Are you sure you want to risk, that your injuries might flair up?”

” I will be fine, after all, you are just hitting my face over and over again. Though you will have to pick up more speed as the current one is not enough anymore.”

” You overestimate your abilities. But who am I to disagree, I will give you what you have asked for.”

I was in for a world of hurt after all more also means more damage once it comes into contact with me. Embracing the upcoming pain I paid special attention to his movement trying my best to sharpen my senses as much possible.

I had no chance to react as a foot hit me in the solar plexus with a speed unlike I had ever seen.

” Who said I would only aim for the face?” I heard the voice full of ridicule as I was launched into the distance by this kick. I could not suppress myself and had to spit out some blood out of my mouth. This goes way beyond something I do consider to be safe. Seems like I truly might lose my life in such a wasteful fashion.

I did not have any time to muster any strength as the next attack was launched at me, while I was still lying on the floor. I did not even it coming towards me, what is this level of speed? This goes beyond any concept of speed feasible for a human body. Am I fighting against a fucking car?

Well, I might as well risk it all if things have escalated to this level. My dear Tennant does the things I have talked to you about. A faint sigh could be heard in my mind. I had no time to lament my foolishness. Before my heartbeat started to pump quicker and quicker.

The heart is a weird muscle it is responsible for pumping blood through the entire body and delivering oxygen and many other things to the areas that need them. If the body is exercising the heart has to pump faster to keep up with the expense.

All I have done till now was to allocate more and more energy my muscles and my body can spend. But what were to happen if I remove the limiter keeping my body in check? If I end up dying then I might as well go out in style.

” You have become scary, boy. I like it, although it hurts my feelings that you kept something like this hidden until this day.”

” There never had been any need to do so.”

The strain on my body had increased even more though this pressure was liberalizing strangely. This temporal high was not coming without a price, but this detail did not matter.

With my senses heightening to a degree I would have thought to be impossible I began to attack. Even as my bones began to crack and splinter and the body itself was threatening to collapse I still did not stop.

Although his current speed could not keep up with my movement, I could tell that he was doing so deliberately, intending to crush me after I had given my all. Oh, he would make a fine human.

Although my body was threatening to fall apart any seconds I was lucky, that my wounds and broken bones were healing by the naked eye, due to all of the energy flooding every part of my body. This created a seemingly endless cycle of horrible injuries.

It was hopeless to try and replenish all the energy and nutrients that I am forced to use. At the moment I was nothing more than a candle burning brightly while all of the paraffin was being used to fuel it.

Kicks, punches came hailing at him but he did not even move out of the way and just followed my every movement with its eyes while yawning. Even using my strong teeth I could not penetrate its skin.

I am truly running out of attacks I could use. I thought I could vent some of the frustration that has built itself up just from fighting here but each of my hits caused more stress. The expression on its face just riles me up and makes me want to punch it even harder.

This vicious cycle only ends when I am devoid of any strength. Overall the situation is not something I would describe as hopeful. There was no need to feel indignant over my loss as I had no chance in the first place. Though just because I keep on thinking it does not make it any less infuriating that I am not capable of dealing any damage to this annoying fellow.

At least I won’t have to resort to Plan B

” You truly have a death wish, even thinking about Plan B at all. The stuff you have used now still was under my control and the damage done to your body was something you could take without any direct fear for your life. But even after putting up such a show, it is not satisfied yet. I have no clue what might happen if I were to follow that ridiculous idea of yours. Luckily your prior ruse worked even though your body will get even weaker. You have 2 minutes left.”

That is more than I need.

” Sorry for using such underhanded tactics from to beat you, but you are leaving me with no choice. You should have noticed by now, that my aim had never been to vent any frustration by punching you over and over again.”

I am not that driven by my emotions and I would certainly not give away my life just so I get to punch its face a few times

” You must have noticed that your body has been covered in a strange substance. This substance is part of my body and is a strange sideproduct that came out of the union between me and my tenant. I still have next to no idea how it works, but it makes it harder for you to influence the mana particles on the surface of that body of yours. That much should be obvious for you, that even in this realm you are incapable of influencing it”

“All of this trouble just so you can meddle with the first layer of my body? You are truly desperate.”

No, a crack in the surface is sufficient for me to win this fight. Let me show exactly how you are going to lose this bout.
