The battle of monsters

“Look, I don’t know who or what you are, but you’d better back off.”

Van stepped forward, leaving no space for him to attack Mia.

“Do not worry for the girl’s life. I have only come to kill you.”

“Me?” Van queried. His unable to feel fear had become motivation for him to face the monster. “What do you want from me?”

“I’ve been summoned to kill you.”

There’s no lie in his words, he can tell it. This man in front of him had arrange the murders to lure him out.

“Those bodies, those innocent people, you killed them just to lure me out?”

“Well, it’s not personal.”

“To me it is.”

With great speed, Van lunges. He threw punches from left to right. Icarus lurched back and jerked sideways to confused Van. His went to Van’s stomach and another right swing stunned him.

“I thought you’re strong. It seems their worries are in the wrong place.”

“Who are they?”

Van kneeled as Icarus delivered a blow on his chin. He coughed blood and quickly got up.
