"Hey! Finish her!" The chief of the merchants shouted to his people. Then, a man who has over 2 meters tall immediately walked out in front of Mariel. This guy was very strong and muscular. It seemed that he had quite good physical energy.
"You dare to challenge me, little girl. I need to teach you a lesson." the big guy said with a smile, sticking out his tongue and licking his mouth.
"Mariel, are you okay? This guy is too strong." Mania walked up from behind and said with concern.
"We'll see this." Mariel said.
"Alright, let's make a bet. If we win, this village will have to accept my offer of a 50% price cut for the next 5 years!" The chief of merchants shouted.
The elves began to make noises of dissatisfaction, but Mariel raised her left hand to tell them to stop talking.
"If I win, you have to buy goods at the prices that we agreed on in the contract." Mariel said.
"Sure. Now, let's duel one on one and no magic powers are allowed. Only physical energy can be used." the chief of merchants said.
In the center of the Elf Village, the merchants and the Elves were standing outside a large circle, where only Mariel and the big man were facing each other. Both sides were expediting the energy in their bodies, preparing to fight.
"Only 5 minutes for this fight. Let's the match begins!" the chief of merchants shouted.
SMASH!!!!!
The big man punched at Mariel and spun around to kick her with full force.
Oops!!!!
Mariel even staggered back several steps after using both hands to block the opponent's kick, causing her entire body to tremble.
"Wow… you didn't even fall down. You're quite good." the big man laughed with a disdainful tone.
Mariel was still standing there, but she slowly recovered her strength and was able to fully defend.
SMASH! SMASH! SMASH!
The sound of a storm of punches being thrown at Mariel was powerful, but surprisingly, she was able to defend those punches with little resistance, which greatly surprised the group of merchants and the big man.
"How is it possible? How can a woman of this age protect herself as well as a man?" The chief of merchants said in surprise.
(Of course, I'm a man in a woman's body. I must have some of these skills.)
"You're so arrogant!" The big man shouted and threw a full-power punch at her.
SMASH!
The big man's fist was blocked with Mariel's right hand alone, which was charging her power with her left hand.
"Take it back!" Mariel said as she swung her left fist full of physical energy into the big man's stomach with full force.
Ouch!!!!
Mariel's punch was so powerful that it sent the big man back several meters. Everyone was shocked because they didn't expect that Mariel would be able to make a man who was 2 meters tall step back like this.
"This is not good. I must do something." the chief of merchants said, putting his hand in his right trouser pocket suspiciously.
Both sides threw punches and kicks at each other, neither side gaining much of an advantage over their opponent.
"You little girl!" The big man shouted in dissatisfaction.
"I won't lose to you!" Mariel shouted back and kicked the big man's chest with full force, causing him to stagger back and fall in front of the merchant leaders.
"Use this." The chief of merchants pretended to support his subordinate but instead stuffed something into his hand and spoke in his ear.
The big man looked down at the item and crushed it into pieces with a smile on his face.
Mariel was ready to attack again. Her body was covered in bruises, but she still had the advantage and didn't seem to be tired easily.
"Mariel works out every day, so it's no wonder she has so much energy like this." Beatrix said.
"That's right. If it was us, we would have been lying on the ground at first." Mania said.
The large man stood with an angry expression, while Mariel took the attack with caution.
SMASH! SMASH! SMASH!
The big man threw his fists and feet at Mariel, but she hurt not too much until she saw her opponent's weakness clearly.
"I got you!" Mariel took the opportunity to kick the big man's right ribcage with full force, causing him to vomit blood immediately.
However, ...
"Ahh!!!!!!"
Mariel cried out in pain.
The big man slammed the white powder in his right hand into Mariel's eyes. The powder made Mariel's eyes sting, and she couldn't see anything around her.
"My eyes!" Mariel howled in pain, struggling to brush the dust away from her eyes.
"My turn!" The big man saw this opportunity and quickly grabbed Mariel with both arms, making her unable to move.
The sound of two strong arms squeezing Mariel's body became clearer. She twisted her body back and forth, trying to get out of this squeezing, but the more she resisted, the tighter it squeezed.
"It hurts! Let go of me!" Mariel shouted.
"LoL Give up! little girl." the big man shouted.
"You guys are cheaters!" Beatrix shouted.
"In a battlefield, everyone uses strategies to take an advantage. Lol" the chief of merchants said.
Others wanted to help Mariel so much, but they could only give her encouragement.
*Crack*
The sound of bones breaking slightly.
"Ahh!!!" Mariel cried out in excruciating pain. Her arms were already slightly cracked on both sides.
"Cry it out, little girl. If you lose, I might make you to be my wife. Lol" the big man said with a loud laugh.
A goosebumps-inducing atmosphere suddenly appeared because the two large arms of the big man began to squeeze her became uncontrollably. It seemed that there was surprisingly continuous resistance.
"W-What happened?" The big man shouted in extreme shock.
Suddenly, Mariel opened her eyes, with the white powder still covered all over her eyes, but her eyes were terrifying blood red.
"No, that's impossible!" The big man shouted in fear because Mariel's eyes was that show a venomous snake that looked at its prey with hatred.
"You... must die!" Mariel shouted.
Mariel headbutted the big man's face with such force that his nose cracked.
"Ouch! My nose!" The big man quickly covered his face and nose with his hands in pain.
Mariel was free and kicked him to the stomach, causing him to vomit blood all over the ground.
SMASH!!!
Crack!!!
This time she kicked to the big man left ribcage with a cracking sound.
SMASH!!!
A fully charged right fist slammed into the big man's chin with full force, causing him to stagger and unable to stand up straight any longer.
Mariel soars towards the big man, gathering all her power into her right hand, ready to finish this fight.
"It's over!!!" Mariel shouted and punched him in the face with full force.
SMASH!!!!!!
The big man slowly fell on his back on the ground and immediately fainted. Blood was continuously flowing from his nose, mouth, and both ears. His body had multiple bruises and broken bones, causing his body to be clearly distorted.
"That's impossible. My strongest subordinate lost to this girl?" The merchant chief said with an expression of disbelief.
Beatrix and Mania quickly took out a handkerchief to help Mariel wipe her eyes back to normal, then she immediately walked in front of the group of merchants.
"A contract for the sale of various products as originally price signed as the promise." Mariel said.
"Who said that I would accept this as we agreed?" The chief of merchants said with a sly smile.
"What did you say???" Mariel shouted angrily.
