CHAPTER 76

Enhanced Nunchakus ! Alphonse did not expect for him to have an enhanced weapon. Only Solork was able to make proper enhanced weapons which was a secret. Maybe Raiku and Solork had bonded overtime in private or maybe while he was gone.

But that doesn't matter, as he is also not the same as before. He did not have an enhanced weapon yet but he did not need that as of now. He had his base strong and his own fighting techniques which he took from Rachel.

The match started with a whistle by the referee. Both Alphonse and Raiku rushed forward at the same time to gain space at the centre. Then Alphonse brought out his twin curved blades and hooked Raiku's nunchakus.

But Raiku broke the chain of the nunchakus ! The nunchakus split into two. Alphonse was surprised. After that, he saw the nunchakus sticking back together into one. What just happened !? Alphonse screamed in his head.

"No time to be surprised !", Raiku said. He then started his attack. Alphonse did not have any way to counter his attacks, as they would put him on a disadvantage because of the weapon so he kept on dodging. No.. Alphonse did not come here for that. He did not care about the weapon the opponent used, he just had to beat him.

"I guess he increased the magnetic strength, so the full chain is made with magnets. That is very interesting !", Arata said. This was the explanation he had for the weapon and Rachel agreed with him. But Rachel had not trained Alphonse also for nothing.

As Raiku attacked, Alphonse defended every attack with his nunchucks. Even if Alphonse couldn't attack back or counter, he could control the flow of the battle. As Raiku kept attacking him, he carefully dodged and blocked the attacks so he couldn't be pushed back, and also did faints which could make him gain some advantage. After Raiku realized that this wasn't doing any effect on Alphonse whatsoever, he retreated.

This was the time Alphonse was waiting for ! He attacked forward and gained space on the circle. Raiku regretted the decision but now had no choice but to use his nunchakus special ability back again, because he was done for if Alphonse started attacking. So he did the same thing with his nunchucks. But this time Alphonse did not fall into his trap. He deliberately attacked the end of nunchucks so that they wouldn't split, and then slashed from the side.

Raiku did not expect Alphonse to move so nimbly. It almost seemed like he had seen this somewhere…

"You trained with Rachel ?", Raiku asked Alphonse. He was thoroughly surprised. He did not expect Alphonse to have trained with Rachel. He knew Rachel was strong but Alphonse captured her movements. Now it would be a tough fight for him.

"This is quite interesting !", Raiku replied again. But Alphonse actually got a slight muscle tear because of that movement he did. So he did not reply. His right hand got a bit injured. It seemed his Cultivation isn't strong enough or his body is not strong enough. Raiku sensed something wrong and went for an attack.

Raiku did not know what happened but he wasted no time in attacking and got an upper hand in his fight against his master. Alphonse took a back step to regain his senses. He messed up a bit, but it was no problem. It would be healed in the meantime. When his injury got healed, he used a small trick he thought off. At this point, he had lost all the advantage he had in the space and Raiku ruthlessly attacked him without thinking.

Alphonse did a faint to his neck after Raiku's attack to his stomach. Raiku was a little surprised but still moved his hand to block it. But that attack never came. He wasted his move in that block and was thrown off. He had to retreat and Alphonse came for him. Raiku saw that Alphonse regained his speed. He tried his best to hang on, but before he knew he was at the edge.
