BXBX NOVEL Chapter 32 Battle With Just Fists?
From the one way glass, the lady, Mr Zhao and three others watched as the scene unfolded.
"Sir, do you think it\'s wise using Zokanar to test his abilities? He\'s going to be in pain and be exhausted after I had merely just detoxified him, a few minutes is essential." The lady spoke from a safe distance beside where he sat.
Mr Zhao paused and took a few seconds to think, with his chin resting on his intertwined fingers.
"Have you suddenly developed a soft spot for this student?" He questioned accusingly.
"Of course not!" She replied defensively.
"He is a fire user after all. Let\'s see how he responds under this kind of pressure." He laughed.
"If he overpowers Zokanar, it will support his ability. If not, we can follow up with another action. I\'ll be the one taking the lead on this and I don\'t want to be interrupted." Mr Zhao spoke.
The lady nodded in agreement. The other men on the other hand didn\'t say anything, they simply stood there. They were all pretty much on the same page as Mr Zhao. They wanted to see how well their fire user would perform. How much could he really unleash?
"This is essentially paramount for our organization head." He reminded with a fair warning as to no one having a say in all that was going on before them.
They watched as Nix dropped his jacket to the ground, he was going to go all out, it would seem.
"Is he crazy? He hasn\'t activated his gift yet!" The lady slammed her hands on the desk in shock and anger. "How is he meant to attack with just his fists?"
The creature was circling around him, its hands stretched out.
"Are you too scared to face me squarely?" He asked, taking a defensive stance.
"Instead you decide to walk in circles?" His words were sharp and precise. His muscles were bulging as his body prepared to strike. His fists were raised high above his head.
"It would seem he intends not to." Mr Zhao replied with a smile.
\'How could he have thought things through to this extent?\' He pulled slightly on his chin in deep thought at the method Nix was going with instead.
Nix\'s eyes gleamed coldly, as he focused his attention on the creature, and with a quick flick of his fingers towards it, as if to say. "Bring it on!"
Rhhhng!
It screeched in rage, it\'s claws protracting from its hands as it prepared to strike. The creature seemed to have made its decision, it charged towards Nix.
The battle was on.
Nix rushed at the creature with full speed, sparing only a glance at the creature\'s fist as it came swinging down at him. He quickly ducked underneath it, the metal of its armor making an audible ring as it hit the ground instead.
Sparks flew out as its claws trailed on the wall, with it stepping forward gradually.
Nix held his ear, that mere action was bringing on a sharp pain, it seemed as if the metal was scraping against the bones inside of him. In the background he could hear the creature charge forward, it\'s heavy foot slamming onto the floor in each of its steps.
Nix sidestepped to the right, narrowly avoiding the creature\'s claw which came swinging down at him. His left cheek was grazed, blood trailing down from the cut.
[Health level dropped by 1 point]
He quickly turned around and brought his right fist down, the creature\'s head was hit hard as it came flying down to the ground into a torrent of splinters that rose up around him in the air.
[30 points gained]
Rhhhieeek?!
Every person watching the fight secretly was so enthralled, watching for the next move in the unpredictable fight.
He felt a sense of satisfaction as he heard the crunch of the creature\'s nose being broken.
Nix threw his leg back, putting the weight of his leg into a powerful kick.
The creature was pulled off his feet violently and was thrown across the floor.
It skidded and tumbled along the ground, uncontrolled. It was stopped by the other end of the wall, making a branched crack on the wall.
A groan escaped his lips as the pain from the attack started setting in, dent marks appeared on its mail.
[50 points gained]
Nix took a quick look at the creature, it was still moving, it was a little disoriented, but it was still moving. It seemed to have regained some of its senses.
It was still clutching its nose, it\'s eyes glowed with a sense of rage. It was obviously not happy with the way the battle was going.
"I\'m going to kill you, filthy mortal!!" It let out a high pitched shriek afterwards.
The creature was closing in on him, its claws were reaching out, Nix could feel the air being distorted by the speed at which it was moving.
Nix quickly backed up in quick succession of numerous back flips, his back now against the wall. He was cornered.
\'Sh*t!\' He cursed at his overindulgence in his acrobatic skills.
With his heart beating faster, he could feel the sweat accumulating on his forehead.
Nix could see the creature\'s movement slowing down. It was getting less coordinated. He was right, it needed a source of fire to unleash its full potential.
\'Ha! Sucks to be you!\' He had a smile now, wiping the sweat off his forehead.
It was getting weaker and weaker. It looked at the fire user who was standing just a few feet away from it, it\'s slit yellow eyes glaring at him.
It was clearly frustrated at its inability to fight at its full strength, it had readily expected this mortal to use his gift, yet he had chosen not to.
Left with no choice, it concentrated it\'s remaining strength for one final strike.
It seemed as if it was about to let out a familiar green liquid coming out of its mouth. It was obviously going to try and use its ability.
Nix knew too well what this ability was, there was no way he would allow this creature to spit that out on him.
Nix quickly looked around, he needed to find a way out of this situation. He didn\'t want things to get any worse. He was already on the advantage, he wouldn\'t let the tables turn on him now.
It was getting harder for him to keep his composure but his anger was rising at the mere sight of the creature.
He looked down at the cracks on the floorboard. This was the only thing that could help him escape from this.
