Groan
Simon released a groan as he pushed the stones and rubbles on top of him to the side.
Blood poured out of his mouth and fell beneath his chin, staining his clothes and body.
’So annoying and so powerful at the same time. If I could utilize my chaos at least, then I’d have more tools to utilize against him. I’m severely limited with just my fists and legs against him.’
’And he just had to be a Martial Demon with a Royal Bloodline and a powerful Demonic Martial Technique.’
Simon released a frustrated sigh as he used all he had to remove the last rubble from his body, then he exhaled deeply and slowly got to his feet.
The reason why he was still alive and did not more severe injuries was because of his quick thinking and experience.
The moment he was flung away by Akaza’s punch, he quickly used his demonic energy to coat his entire body, especially his vital organs and body parts that would drastically reduce his fighting capabilities.
This was obviously not the first time he would be facing an opponent who was stronger than him, and after decades of experience fighting countless battles, using his internal energy in situations like this was already ingrained in his soul.
It was an instinct, and it was something Akaza lacked compared to him.
Experience.
And it was the one reason why Simon was so calm and confident despite the current situation.
’The stronger you are, the better. I must defeat you and make you work for me.’
Simon calmly glanced at his right arm. The force had broken his right arm, and if any of his peers were in his position, they’d be screaming in pain.
But Simon grabbed his arm and popped it back into his shoulder. Then he did the same for his other arm.
Step
Step
Step
Akaza calmly walked toward him, and the ground cracked and caved in with every step he took.
The distorted and hazy dark grey sphere around Akaza remained, and Simon narrowed his eyes for a moment before he decided on what to do.
Run and dodge.
Without hesitation, Simon sprinted and ran outside the building, ensuring that he was not close to Akaza’s gravity range at all.
Akaza saw this and was stunned, and the little control he had over his anger vanished like a thin smoke.
"Die coward!"
Akaza’s speed suddenly increased, and in less than three seconds, Akiza had drastically shortened the distance between him and Simon.
Akiza jumped and sent his palm at Simon’s head, and Simon felt like the palm was absorbing all the gravitational force in the surroundings.
It felt like a planet was about to fall on his head, and Simon quickly rolled the side while ensuring that he was still out of the ten meter radius of Akaza’s gravitational field.
BOOM!
Akaza’s palm landed on the ground, and a crater was instantly formed.
Simon did not bother to look at the crater, he just wanted to increase the distance between him and Akaza.
Meanwhile, Akaza’s burning anger was still like a raging inferno.
Bang!
Akaza stomped his foot on the ground, and a thin ripple spread across the ground.
Everywhere this ripple passed through, the ground was suddenly flattened by ten inches.
Simon had no idea about this, and the moment he took a step forward, the suddenly decrease in the surface of the land made him stumble.
It was like he had gone from a flat land and stepped into a hole.
’Seriously?’
Simon was a little bit awed by this move of Akaza, but he didn’t have the time to be praising Akaza.
He could feel Akaza’s presence behind him, and he needed to quickly distance himself away from Akaza.
He strengthened his arms and legs with his demonic energy, then he jumped forward like a beast on all fours despite the fact that he was about to fall.
BANG!
Akaza’s foot shattered the ground where he was previously standing, and Akaza growled in anger and frustration.
"You!"
Simon merely waved, and Akaza gritted his teeth in anger.
He jumped, then he launched six powerful kicks at Simon.
BOOM!
BOOM!
BOOM!
BOOM!
BOOM!
BOOM!
Six shockwaves along with a compressed gravitational force flew toward Simon, and his instincts screamed at him.
’Really?’
He increased his speed and began to dodge the six attacks.
He ducked, jumped, rolled, and threw objects at the attack.
At the end of the day, he dodged the six attacks then he suddenly saw Akaza standing some meters in front of him.
He quickly came to a stop and jumped back, making sure that he distanced himself from Akaza.
Akaza roared, then he punched the ground and every object on the ground flew up and remained in the air, almost like there was no gravity around them, almost like they were in space.
Simon was also affected by this, and Akaza ran toward him with a growl, immense fury burning in his gaze.
The moment he was less than ten meters away from reaching Simon, his expression drastically changed and everything changed.
The gravitational field around him vanished, and Simon and the floating objects regained their gravity.
Simon’s gaze flickered when he saw this, and he didn’t hesitate in taking advantage of this opportunity.
This was what he had been waiting for, and he would be a fool if he did not take advantage of what he wanted.
Akaza was out of demonic energy, and he was weaker than ever before because he lacked demonic energy and because using his technique put a lot stress on his body.
Bang!
Simon dashed forward, and in the blink of an eye, he appeared before Akaza and punched him in the guts with his fist enhanced with demonic energy.
He didn’t stop though.
He landed punches upon punches.
Rained sledge hammer filled punches on Akaza’s entire body.
He didn’t relent.
He didn’t stop.
And he continued even when Akaza fell to the ground and was trying to defend himself.
A dozen punches.
Two dozen punches.
Three dozen punches.
Simon continued until Akaza finally went unconscious, then he stopped.
