Witted Combat
On the 12th day of the 9th month, Fyre was killed by his eldest son, Smoke. The kingdom of Fyre was now safe. All that's left is to erase the things that reminded everyone of him. That includes the kingdom's name and Smoke's brother, Pire. Now that Fyre was gone, Pire is the only one left who was currently battling Lucian.
What was happening now?
<>
Earlier...
I had led one of Pire's friend to a secluded place for a "Friendly conversation."
Well, it's obvious what happened next, I knocked him out and beat him and stuffed his head in the toilet and whatever. His face reminds me of those bastards.
Good thing I searched this guy beforehand, cause it turns out that he had the rings. Who the hell gives the rings to a guy like this? Who knows which hand he uses?
Anyway, I disguised myself as him and pretended to bring the rings to them.
Then you know what happened next?
I threw the rings and uppercut him into the bushes. Hahaha.
After that, I tackled him, which turned out to be a bad idea because we pummeled down into the courtyard.
What kind of garden is on top of a courtyard?!
Well, anyway, we landed down onto the courtyard. Which now leads to us fighting one on one.
"You bastard!!! I know you, you're that guy on the-"
"Shut the fuck up!!!!!"
Don't remind me of that event, I don't ever want to be reminded of that ever again. Being kissed by a princess got me too much attention. I already know what everyone at school is going to say.
Look, it's the one that defiled the princess.
Look, it's that guy. He probably used some spell to have her fall for him. Not like there is a spell like that.
Yes, that spell doesn't exist in this world.
[Level ?????????? Pire]
10 prestiges higher? I expected more than that, but I guess it's better than having a much higher prestige.
"Whatever, I'll kill you and then I'll get back to having some fun with her."
"Trash like you shouldn't exist in this world."
"I wished she was underaged though, it would be much better."
This dude...
In this world, when you become 15, you're basically an adult. To think this guy want's someone younger.
"You're fucking disgusting!"
Flash!
I equipped Divine Chain-mail and charged towards him.
"You think the armor is going to help you? What an idiot!"
We clashed, he had his hands on my shoulder and I could feel him trying to burn my armor down. Well, he wasn't melting it, but he was burning me.
"What foolishness, you think you can beat me with armor that belongs in the trash?"
If Divinus heard that, he would throw you around like he threw me when I insulted him. And that's not something that I want to experience again.
"How about you stop talking and fight already?"
"Pleasure."
Fwoosh!
Pure orange flames burst from his back and engulfed his body like a suit of armor.
"My aberrant, Fiamme Armatura."
"Useful, I'll take that."
"What?"
Replicate.
[Analyzing...]
[Skill Analyzed: Fiamme Armatura]
[Skill Replicated]
Fwoosh!
Flames started venting out of my back as if it were a jet engine.
[Skill Fusion available.]
Fusion?
[Fuse Divine Chain-mail and Fiamme Armatura? You will not able to learn these two skills if you confirm.]
Hmm, if it gives me a power boost, I'll take it.
[Fusing Divine Chain-mail and Fiamme Armatura.]
My armor started shifting shape, it was becoming spikier, and my helmet was shaping into the helmet of a knight. A long plumage which was like long hair grew out from my helmet, it was all engulfed in blue flames which was the color of my aura. Flames were pouring out from the exhaust like things that resembled jet thrusters, which were located on my forearm and my ankle. There were several streaks on my armor, which were emanating an intense glow.
[Fusion complete: Blazing Divine Chain-mail]
[New skill learned: Blazing Divine Chain-mail]
Boosh!!!
"Nice..."
[ATK RAISED⬆]
[DEF RAISED⬆]
[RES GREATLY RAISED⬆]
[AGL REDUCED⬇]
Nice, my resistance was boosted more. When a stat is boosted greatly, it is boosted by 30 percent. It may not be much, but that 5 percent is actually useful.
"Now c'mon, bird brain."
Learned that from Ddraig. Pire shrieked at me and charged towards me, provoked. Always let your enemies attack first unless you have no choice.
He was running at me normally. Maybe, maybe he's one of those fighters that doesn't work on their agility. That's easier for me.
As he tried tackling me, I'd step to the side, and he tumbled onto the floor.
"Wow, I expected you to be slow, but not this slow."
"Don't get so cocky."
He ran at me once again and punched me in the chest. I took it expecting his strength to be weak as well but maybe I shouldn't have let my guard down.
Crink!
I heard a crack coming from my chest. That's bad, I could feel him heating his fist, he's still trying to melt my armor?
I pushed him away and swung at his head, which he dodged and quickly jabbed my rib. I backed off, pushing him away again.
He's a good fighter, maybe a master martial artist. Not only was he able to calculate my move so easily, but he also had swift moves. Maybe he's only fast when he's close to his opponent.
[HP: 148390/184000]
You're kidding me, right? Just two punches and I already lost 40000 health? I might have to go 100 percent for this. I'll also have to watch my health from now on.
He inched closer as I inched away. He was faking punches, trying to scare me.
"What's wrong? Scared?"
"I'd say the one that is actually scared is you."
"Tch, you..."
After a few seconds passed, he eventually gave up waiting for me to make the first move and tried throwing a heavy overhand. I also did the same, but I put less power into it.
Why?
Because I feinted it and dodged him by ducking and grabbing him. I threaded my arm under his neck and through the underarm while my other arm went over his neck. Then I grasped onto my bicep, performing an arm-triangle choke. Then I did an outside sweep takedown, slamming him into the floor of the courtyard.
SLAM!
Now he was being choked by his own arm.
"Good luck getting out of this one!"
Now, I never guessed how much his defense would be, but now I know that it was probably more than mine.
Crink!
My armor began cracking again. But as long as I hold him in this position, he can't escape and he'll eventually pass out.
Rustle~
What? What is he doing?
Pire was slowly rising up, he was using his other arm to push himself up.
"No, down you go!"
I slammed him back to the ground. Pire was struggling as he tried to escape. I made the chokehold even tighter by slowing inching my grasp up my arm.
But he was smart. As I was in the middle of tightening my hold, he countered me and grabbed my arm, slowly trying to crush my armor.
But he was also an idiot. Instead of trying to break my armor, he should've broken my arm.
So then I let go of him and punched his face. Then I mounted him and feinted a right punch. As I expected, he tried to topple me so what I did next was encircle my legs around his neck and the arm that he pushed me over with and then locked him in a triangle shape. I performed the triangle choke armbar.
Now I was pulling on his arm and hand violently and hard. He tried resisting, but the pressure was probably too much for him. He then tried to pry free from the choke, so I pulled his arm more, which made him go limp.
"AHHHHHHH~!!!!!!!"
This cry wasn't Pire's, it was someone above.
"FATHER!!!!!!"
Pire yelled. Now he was enraged. He slowly got up and lifted me along with him. He was going to attempt to slam me.
"Shit, you're not getting away."
I tried attempting a belly-down armbar, but he just wouldn't fall onto the ground. He then slammed me into the ground with full force, disabling my armor in the process.
Slam!
[HP: 94080/184000]
"Gough!"
"Now you die!"
He was going to perform a heavy smash. Who knows how much damage that's going to do? He just slammed me and I lost 50000 health. I need to get out of the way but...
[Stamina: 19053/240590]
I forgot all about how much stamina I was using, all those moves I did require a lot of stamina. I need to reserve the last stamina I have and I have no time to use recovery right now.
Then a knife flew towards Pire and jabbed him directly in the throat.
"Huh?"
I kicked Pire away from me and got up, then I turned around and saw Genesis.
"I'll be taking care of him now."
"I can do this, I just have to."
"Recover your strength first, I'll distract him."
"Shit, good luck then. I guess I can tap out."
I switched with Genesis, who had a confident smile on her face.
"I'll be fighting you now, Uncle."
