Blind Guy against a Giant

How I stood calmly, strength really grows with experience. Experiencing a humiliating defeat caused me to grow even more, seems like I have been in comfort for too long.

Other than my eyes, I am more used in using my other senses now. Moreover, I can even feel the flow of essence in the place. I can say that all of the potential opponent I will face is strong, as strong... Or even stronger than me.

I got chills on my body, my fist tighten up and my face twitched and looked serious, as if I've faced death in front of me.

I felt my uneasiness growing so I closed my eyes and breathed in and out. It eased my body of uncomfortable feelings and returned my mind into my current focus.

I'm gonna fight right now and my enemy is a brute. Just looking at his body, I can say that he must have a pretty sturdy defense and stupidly great strength. I can say I'm still much better at fighting hand to hand with him.

His arms were perfectly covered with steel. It looked like he gained a steel arm in the span of hours. That made me realize that he has not used all of his resources up until now, "He's not gonna hold back anymore huh" that's even more funny, meaning he has reached his bottleneck and now can only rely on the extra flavor he has.

Even me, I hate to admit it but I have a hard time increasing my powers and the only new development I've gained is my aura being able to feel the flow of the essence of the world and the essence of everyone here in Arena is good, there's some that is strong and some who was weak and average.

It's not up to me to evaluate their abilities so I don't really care. But there's someone there who has their essence that felt like a hybrid, that certainly is mysterious. I also think that's a gladiator here, she forfeited so I cannot evaluate her powers on my own. That's such a waste but I can only focus on the present, looks like fate did not let us fight. Although many opportunities are gonna come.

When my name was called I came out of the gate and faced the whole crowd that are looking at me, throwing curses and many vulgar words, vulgar woman's who are thirsty for pleasure, a man addicted to gambling and illegal things and many more negative sides people of this arena had.

How did I even became an Gladiator. I kill people for living or else I won't be living anymore.

No use wondering about that though, it's my only way of living. I don't have anything anymore I know I excel at. "I just kill, and this time I will again" I said with a straight lifeless tone that looks like it lost its life a long time ago.

My enemy came out and what I felt clearly in him was different, his aura is much much darker and his essence didn't reach up to this pressure until now.

He's serious, his expression didn't seem as arrogant as when he fought first round and his movements was sturdier feeling as if i was facing off against a giant mountain bear. That's explains it the best because he truly represents a bear with his bulky features, big body and absurd strength that tears through the hardest skins in the wild.

I'm facing against this guy, I remember when I fought him first time and second time he always got parted with me. This big mountain as I remember was very strong. So strong that it was hard even for me to parry his punches, although I'm pretty much in the upper part in martial arts so I defeated him both times when we fought. I don't know how it will go the same as back then though.

'He's clearly learned from his past battles with me" I shrugged it of with my shoulders and just focused on analyzing him.

The match was starting and the countdown has begun, "Three!"(Crowd) I stance my body where I felt relaxed and focused in the essence that was flowing through me and my enemy's. "Two"(Luna)

"One!" The countdown finished and this Giant ran onto me just like an angry bull with his knuckles like horns faced towards his target, I readied myself and braced for the impact.

Little did I know that his double hook punch direction was fake and instead kicked me with built up momentum with him running. Lucky for me, I defended against him with my elbow but definitely, his overgrown ass foot hit my whole body but still I deflected him.

After I stopped his kick, I used the power that kicked me to redirect it and spinned clockwise with my fist ready to follow up a punch at his foot. It hit the target and fall back few meters, it did not stop me as I used the chance and jumped to reach not his face to hit him in his chin in an attempt to knock him down.

Fairly enough, it connected and all but it didn't knock him. Instead, because of me being in the air. He held both his hands together and smashed me to the ground, I fell and made a small crater in the ground. He did an attempt to stomp me but I'm not fragile as to get knocked out when smashed to the ground.

I swiftly got up and punched him to his right chick unguarded. His reflexes are good and set up his shoulders to defend causing him not to fall face flat but only got pushed slight.

He moved as quickly and punched me again mid air, there's no way out of this situation so I crossed my arms to deflect his attack and lessen the damage I'll get.

I flew fast and hit the wall making debris fly all out in places. "It did hurt a little you giant asshole" a smirk formed into my mourh and blood dripped on my face a little.

I clenched my fist, ran as fast as I can and he made a stance with both his wrist above his forehead clearing all the possibilities of him getting punched in sides. No matter his defense was, I denied all of it and made way for myself to get inside his authority and punched him in his bare face that made him fall into the ground.

While falling, I held onto his hands and used that as a foot hold to throw another punch at him. I kicked and launched my body towards him, that cause his arms to pull him back up and made his falling sideways.

That's much better, instead of just straight up punching his face I targeted his lower chin close to his jawline and put in as much power and momentum as I can, 'If I hit it the round will be over with his defeat'

"It's over" I walked to come out of the gate leaving the seemingly giant unconscious body in the ground at the middle of the arena.
