The Trial of the Possibilities (IV)

A thrust is coming, I'll receive it with my left fist that I hold on my chest to take the impact. On the last moment I turn my arm with all the strength I got to divert the sword to a side, I step forward and now that I'm face to face with this being I hurry to hit him in the head. This made him back up a little.

"..."

I made it. Finally I was able to reach him.

"See that you can make it if you try? That being said, do not let that goes to your head"

After burying his sword on the ground everything starts to tremble and its destroyed. Many pieces of land starts to rise into the sky, under my feet the sudden movement made me trip over and I was caught over one of them. My enemy also floats on another one on the distance and it's standing there, like waiting for me.

I'm really high, back on my home I'll be death in the same instant that I fall. But this dimension is different, it's governed by other rules.

Like he said, we're in his world.

Well, in that case I think I can comprehend one of the ways to overcome this, it shouldn't be a problem. I back down a few steps and catching speed I made a jump to the next island. I manage to travel more distance that I would normally do. After confirming that I arrived intact I continue on this way until reaching him.

"This time I got you!"

I have already started to charge the power on my index finger, only 3 seconds left for it to release,

"I can see what you pretend. Your life is an open book"

He raised his sword and with the tip he deflected my hand to a side just when the shot was completed.

"Dammit!"

I failed, I'll have to wait some time before it recharges. Quickly I change to my dexterity skill to fall on my foot and turn around. Now it's me who pushes him and without letting go we both fell to the floor. Despite I used him to absorb the hit the 2 of us raised up like nothing. He also must be affected by the rules of his world, gravity doesn't cause any damage.

I got close to him and now I'm on the offensive. With my glove I try to divert his cuts while I take any chance I have to counterattack with a kick or a punch with my right hand.

"You are getting better, although you have a long way to go if you want to control me"

"Thanks for the advice!"

The cuts I receive from him don't prevent me from attacking. Perhaps my body has forgotten how to feel, in that case maybe my enemy is the same. No matter how many blows I land there isn't a change in his reactions.

I have abandoned the defence and embraced completely an aggressive approach. I feel like finally I can predict his attack patterns. I don't know if I'm losing my mind, but his silhouette starts to make more sense.

Every step he makes forward I could comprehend it. It's more clear. I can see it now, his true being.

I found the answer and started to charge my index finger.

Now I had lost my dexterity completely, I'm an easy target to hit. He knows that and comes prepared to thrust his sword in me.

"Not so fast human!"

This time I raised my right hand accepting the blow. His attack went through my palm and stopped halfway of cutting my arm.

"Ahh!"

I felt pain for the first time. A strong sensation that only lasted an instant.

"From the beginning what you have done is in vane. Have you not notice?"

"... yes, because all this time I had been looking at what I shouldn't"

This way I hold his sword to not let him go and pull it to me.

"What?"

"Now I got you!"

I pointed blank and the shot hit exactly between the handle and the blade. The weapon shattered exploding in a brilliant spectacle, little fragments scattered around the place.

The tension of the moment seemed to vanish.

The fight is over.
