Chapter 10 - And so, it begins

"What do you want? Why are you here?" Elias tightened the grip in his sword, his knees bent forward parallel to his side as he put one hand in front of him and the other holding the sword above his head, pointing towards his enemy.

"Oh, im just here to get you to my boss whether you like it or not, so if you're thinking about doing anything, you better start right now." Ju was smirking, the back of her hand in one hip and the other against her chin while she leaned forward, just waiting for an answer.

And that she got in the form of an overhead strike that was very surprising, for it wasn't a punch or kick, but a headbutt strong enough to make her stagger back inside the inn, where she started flapping the arm she used to defend herself.

Gaining some distance by doing one hand backwards handsprings and jumping in place with one foot forward and one back in sequence, he clutched his hands near his chin and opened them up with a HMPH before getting back into his fighting stance, one hand in front of him while the other more close to his chest, both relaxed at shoulder level, his knees getting up and down with his slow breath rhythm.

"Impressive, you were even quicker than when i've tried to decapitate you." Elias stood in a neutral way aside from his hand above his head, that quickly he took down while the sword disappeared once again with a small burst of light, no particular expression in face.

"Hey, this isn't the time to be chatting, let's run away!" Mika had sweat breaking down in her face as she looked around the roofs in panic, her hands felt hot as she channeled her mana into a small fireball.

The bell chimed once again and Mika turned around with her hand aiming at the entrance, where Ju stood still with a grin but now her eyes scowled at the hero, who calmly looked at her exposed belly.

"You know, i'm here only to get that guy right there..." She slowly pointed towards the hero who now focused at her finger, he smiled with a ton of excitement as her grin turned into a frown that hissed with venom.

"But now, I'M ITCHING TO TURN YOU INTO PASTE!" Ju leaped into the air, she faced him with her back for a moment while curling herself into a ball, and immediately followed up with a dive kick that went straight into a dive kick that was for sure gonna land in his face.

He opened his arms fully and stood firmly in the ground, growling as he flexed his muscles as much as he could before putting both his arms crossed like an X right above his head and bend his knees to be planted firm in the ground.

He felt the impact hit him right in the forearm as the power of it waved through his body like vibrations, and he back fell to the ground as Ju retreated her leg and prepared to land in the ground.

However, as she landed, he put himself into his 4 with his back to her and very close to the ground and started jerking his left leg close to his chest, the moment both of her feet touched the ground, she looked in shock as he connected a kick right into her stomach while in that position, his head tilted as much as he could to make sure he was aiming right.

And with a swift stretch of his wrists and body to the side, he sweept her off the ground with the same leg as she clutched her stomach in pain and made her fell to her side right in her arm, she hurried to move to the side, but with how sudden that was she still fell on top of her arm.

Jumping like a frog, the hero put himself back into position while looking at his opponent who was on her knees and holding her left right side with one arm, some drool escaping her mouth.

"How are you so nimble..." muttered Chat, who was honestly impressed with his host's ability to adapt so naturally when it came to fighting situations.

Still, he felt that he was greatly overestimating what he could do and how far he would get away with just straight up fighting.

Hopeless.

"This simply ain't my first round and i don't plan for it to be the last!" With a smile in his face he crouched and touched one hand on the ground while the other rested in his thigh, he giggled at the numbing sensation that he felt in his forearm bone, his heart was flushing with emotion.

Ju looked at how relaxed he was while his big beady dark eyes squinted at her, his smile showed all of his front teeth and they grinded against each other with each manic chuckle he did, like he was feeling a hellish cold.

A vein popped right in her temple and her expression turned very ugly with the pretentious mockery she was being confronted with, her heart boiled with emotion at such insufferable looking guy that dared to laugh at her.

"You little shit!" She gritted her teeth and dusted her arm, then put herself in her fighting position at the same time the hero put himself up, that expression still lingered in his face.

He snapped his finger and pointed right at her face.

"That's right Chat, i expect her to give her all, and i will also go with everything i've got! You! C'mon, let's rock!" He dashed at her and she did the same, he outstretched his arm back intended to give her a powerful hit, but she blocked with her knee.

"Don't you mess with me! I'm done playing nice!" She pushed his punch away and stomped her up leg hard in the ground, with a twist of her ankle and flexing the other leg close to her, she hit him square in the face with a kick that send him flying.

The sound of blood droplets hitting the ground was heard in the desert street, and both hearts were pumping full of a emotion that would only be satisfied when one of them was felled.
