He shook his head, his hand still raised against me. My anger rose when he placed a smile on his place, continuously mocking my every being in front of him.
As if he was already aware of my capabilities, and the thought of it made me anxious.
"Well then." I started, going towards him, i didn't hesitate to immediately go on offense, kicking him hard in his upper extremities.
He barely blocks it by his elbow.
"How's that for a kick?" I mocked, seeing that i landed enough damage to hurt his shoulder.
I jumped back from my starting location, carefully inspecting the hit i made. As i expected, he was still on his ground, his confidence didn't go down a bit. I almost cursed when i confirmed my suspicions.
Damn 1st level sure is tough, he must be close to Herus' ability if we're talking about physical defense.
I only landed one blow to assess my opponent since i've had a bad gut feeling from the moment i saw him walk on this stage. He also looks like he caught on my plan to see his potential.
"Are you finished?" He asks.
"What?" i said, irritated.
"Then let me rephrase." He raises his hand once again toward me. "Are you done studying me?"
My eyebrow arched. "I could say the same to you, you're clearly on planning being on defense for a while to also study the extent of my ability, right?"
"That's right, looks like we've been doing the same thing after all." He shook his head. "Then shall we fight recklessly from now on?"
I lowered my body, displaying my fighting stance. "As a warrior, you should return a blow if one is given to you."
He smirks.
Judging from his expression, i already expected right when he shifts into his werewolf, clearly not underestimating the opponent in front of him. The audience chattered in excitement as they felt the tension inside the stage we're fighting with. And just how loud they become, my anxiety also rose as time passed by.
'What are you getting scared for?'
[Are you kidding me Gina? i can't use my powers infront of all these werewolves, i may have a durable body but you know that my physical defense is the least of my abilities. How the hell do you think i'm not gonna get scare?] i scoffed at her.
'Then just aim for his vital spots.'
[I don't know, i just hope he's not faster than i am]
If my physical defense was my weakest, my speed is the opposite. I have full confidence in my speed, for I've lived through horrifying events because of this ability even before awakening as a demi-god.
The guy finally attacks, sprinting close to me, he lunges at my body in seconds. I wasn't able to dodge in time due to being preoccupied with my thoughts, i gripped his claws against me, pushing it away as he tried to crush me using his body. I then raised my hips and landed a kick on his wolf abdomen, his body slamming against the barrier.
He shook his body, standing up once again. He suspiciously shifts back into his human form
"Hah you think you can wound me using such a useless attack?" I laughed before realizing something when he stared at my hips.
My eyes widened when i saw my hips bleeding.
What?! When did he wound me?!
'During the time you were being crushed by his weight, you didn't notice since he was inflicting two pain signals in your body'
"You sneaky bastard." I hissed, holding onto my hip, making it heal as fast a werewolf regenerative ability would. "Well, i did hope for a stronger individual."
He still had a blank expression on his face, raising his damned hand again to taunt me to him. Who the fuck are you dude?! his stance is very familiar- Wait i do recognize that stance in the movies, was it bruce lee?
I almost laughed. "The fuck you trying to copy huh? just how old are you?"
His eyes widened. "You know this..?"
"Of course, i'm a huge movie fan of both western and eastern countries. I wouldn't miss if some idiot like you is copying his stance." I scoffed, not being able to stop my laugh, i burst out of laughter as i couldn't hold it in.
"You..!" He said angrily.
"Since i don't know your name." I laughed. "Then i'll just call you Bruce lee then?"
He shifts into his wolf again, obviously, my provocation worked quite well since he was starting to get serious with me. This time, he didn't lunge at my body, instead, he tried to bite my head off when he anticipated the direction i was gonna dodge his attack, thankfully i was a bit faster than his moves, changing the direction of my body once again.
He continued to run towards me, and i tried to evade him from time to time since he had a huge ass wolf that took so much space during the confrontation. Our exchange of blows went longer than expected.
Both of us had an equal number of wounds on our body.
I smirked as i looked at him, he was just as exhausted as i was.
I'm not gonna lie, he's good. He's a better fighter than me since i always relied on my magic abilities and some spells to strengthen my body, it was the first time i fought like this without using my powers.
"You're strong."
He growls towards my direction.
"But it's a waste, i don't really plan to give you any advantage any further," i said with venom.
I sharpened my claws once again and i sprinted towards him, anticipating my attack, he lowered his position growling towards me. Before he could even get away from the spot, i slid beneath his big wolf, slashing his inside in return.
He whimpers in pain, leaping away from me, he growled towards me even when he was losing so much blood.
Finally! My speed never fails me.
I then switched to a kneeling position, then stood calmly. "You're strong, but i guess i'm still stronger than you."
That's a lie, he's obviously stronger than me in his combat abilities, i just used some nasty trick that's all.
I smirked. "How long do you think you can last?"
'Oh that's cheating' Gina scolds me.
[Oh shut up, i was clearly at a disadvantage against his combat experience, just look how slow my wounds are healing]
'Tskk wasting a 3rd tier poison isn't like you'
That's right, i coated my claws with the poison when we both took our time studying each other, i mean after studying him of course i would think some nasty trick just to stay alive, after all, every rule is against me in this arena.
i have to survive.
Well the poison isn't that serious, the poison would disappear after its host loses consciousness.
He shifts back to his human form. "You! what did you do to me?" He said in disbelief.
"What do you mean? i didn't even shift into my werewolf so i also want to know why you're already exhausted."
"Impossible!" He seethes, backing away.
He held his wound and gripped his insides, making me flinched.
What the hell? is he worsening his wound?
"Hah, suicide is it? i'm not really a fan, but since you insist.." I trailed off.
He stands up, making my eyes widen in shock, as his eyes were filled with resentment towards me, his hand dripping with his own blood. I stared at it, my gut feeling screaming me to not provoke him any further.
Yet i didn't listen
"do you think glaring at me will keep you alive?" i chuckled.
I was surprised when he still had the audacity to run towards me, he was giving it all in his speed, getting me caught off guard. I hissed at the pain when he used his claws to slash my chest, throwing himself in me since he didn't control his speed enough to land safely.
We both rolled against the barrier, my head hitting first.
Ah shit!
I looked towards my chest, blood dripping from it.
My eyes widened in horror when i noticed it not healing as fast as it should, my vision going a bit blurry. But what i didn't expect was that the effects didn't go away.
No.. NO!
I angrily looked at his grinning state, he coughs up blood trying to stand up.
"This.. fucker!" i fumed, realizing his intentions.
He gripped his insides to transfer the damn poison to me!
I coughed up blood. "Damn it!"
"I'm too generous aren't i?" He laughs.
I stand up, kicking him with all my might, he flew against the barrier. But he still didn't die, he still had the audacity to laugh at me. Standing up he said. "Let's see who loses consciousness first, 5th level bitch."
My body shook in anger, my eyes sending enough bloodlust towards him.
I never considered that i would lose this fast in the arena, i expected i would kill at least a hundred of these mutts. but i just have to face this bruce lee muscle idiot!
Trying to maintain my balance, i tried to lessen my blood lost by putting pressure on my wound.
[Damn it! heal me faster!]
'I can't, they'll see the aura' Gina pouts.
[Do you want me to die then?!']
