Outcome of A Planned Battle

As the sword left a long mark across his chest, the boy withdrew his long sword and twisted it a way to thrust it into Emmy's stomach.

But somehow, he thrusted it into nothing but air, Emmy was nowhere to be seen. As the boy looked around, he quickly turned around and use his sword to cut something that was coming towards him into two.

"Oh wow, a teleport ability user. That's nice." The boy said as he could see Emmy standing about 7 meters away from him, holding a bunch of wooden javelin in his left hand, ready to throw the one on his right hand with blood slowly coming out of his chest.

Emmy knew he couldn't avoid the wrath of the sword, he couldn't escape and he knew using Raze's unperfected move is a gamble, but Emmy is not ready to gamble with his life.

He analyses how the attack will come, if it comes horizontally, he might be able to dodge it with a bit of luck, if it's vertical, he won't be able to dodge it at all and if he tries to dodge it by moving downward, it might lead him to an unescapable situation. And diagonal, he can avoid that by moving a few steps backward, but it will also spell doom for him because his opponent won't stop attacking.

He had learned from the analyses of many videos that taken some attack head on is better than avoiding it.

So Emmy had quickly come up with another plan, there's a particular skill he learned from the football club, a skill that granted the user a power that can be described as teleporting.

Twisting his leg as it's always done, he performed the 'Shadow Move' skill, but the attack somehow hit him before he was teleported away, about seven or so meters away from his opponent.

He had been practicing with this skill during the last few days after realising that the skill is not meant to be used in football only, it can be used in almost every occasion. Realizing this, Emmy continue practicing with the skill every time he train. The other skill, Tiger Strike can only be used in football.

Training every day with the skill, learning how to use it both in a football match and a battle. How to perform the skill faster, how to perfect the timing and his concentration. Timing and concentration are the most important foundation of the skill. Before, he was able to perform the skill within a minute, the movement of his leg, concentration and everything takes him no less than a minute, but with a steady practice and training relentlessly, he was able to adjust the time to half a minute then a couple dozen of seconds.

What he did now only took him a couple dozens of seconds, but that tiny amount of time is what it takes for his opponent's sword to draw a bloodied tattoo on his chest.

He didn't pay the pain any attention and wasting no time, he summoned a bunch of wooden javelin and hurled it at his opponent one after the other. Somehow, the boy was able to perceive it coming and immediately, he brought it down with his sword. But Emmy didn't stop there as he continue throwing it at the boy who was cutting down everything one after the other.

Emmy didn't care, he threw it like a madman, if one didn't hit him ten will do, if ten failed, hundred will do. And in that case, Emmy hasa couple hundred of the wooden javelin in his storage space.

The wooden javelin and the dagger are also part of his preparation during these last few days. He gathered countless dried wood from the forest. At first, he didn't know what to do with them, he just brought it home, but remembering that he currently had no weapon, he decided to create different set of weapon. Luckily for him, he's always attentive during art class, he had a lot of knowledge in carving. But the problem now is that he doesn't have a sharp object to cut and carve something out of the wood.

After thinking for a while, he went to the room where the carcass of the large scary abomination has been consumed by Jone, now there's nothing left of the creature, only bone could be seen in its place. Jone has consumed every single meat on the bastard body, only bone remain. And the bone is what Emmy came for.

With the help of the strong sharp bone, he was able to carve different weapons out of the woods. He first created a double edge sword, add countless tiny bones of the creature on each edge and then he created a single headed spear/javelin, he also created a dagger and different weapons that were useless to him.

He created one sword, ten daggers and countless javelin, because the javelin is the easiest to create while the sword takes a lot of time and focused. He had used one of the daggers to stab the boy and later planted it on his foot. He didn't know his carving skills is as good as this.

He continues throwing the javelins at the boy who deflected everything flawlessly. Emmy is getting tired, his hand is strained and his breathing isn't steady. it's about seven minutes now since he started throwing the javelin at the boy, and he knew he can't keep it any longer. Something needs to be done.

Looking at the boy whose eyes burn with hatred, the boy is also fed of Emmy's useless assault and he's waiting for Emmy to be exhausted.

'Something needs to be done.'

Moving his leg in a triangular motion, he started performing the Shadow Move skill, appearing behind the boy, he threw two javelin at a time, turning back, the boy deflected it. Emmy did the same thing again, appearing behind him but the boy will turn back and deflect his attack.

'That stupid ability of his.'

He cursed, he can't continue performing the Shadow Move skill because he's already on the verge of exhaustion and sooner or later, the boy will finish him.

'F*ck, I need to do something, this fight is a planned one, I was supposed to have the upper hand.'

Looking at the remaining javelin in his hand, there were up to seven, taking a step back and moving his foot in a strange way, he threw all the javelin at the boy and disappeared, appearing behind the boy. There is another set of javelin in his hand, more than the one he first threw.

Wasting no time, he strained his hand and hurled everything at the boy, then he disappeared and appeared in front of the boy again far behind the set of javelin that headed the boy's way, he held unto a wooden sword with both rough edged and a single javelin.

The boy looked at his front, then he looked back, he can deflect the ones at the front first and later deal with the back, but some from the back would've hit him before deflecting the ones at the front. So the boy did the only thing he could.

He immediately bent down for the two set of javelin to clash, but as he bent down, he quickly turned his head at the front looking surprisingly as a single javelin come his way and hit him right in his chest, dig a deep hole with blood gulping out.

Emmy had predicted his next move after putting him in an unavoidable situation, he knew the only thing he would do is to let the two attack clash. Emmy has also done it once while fighting the abomination Lord Lucifer had sent to kill him, and he also watched as Raze did it when fighting the scary large man. So he knew what the boy would do and thus, he gave him a surprise attack.

He knew the boy ability deals with perception, he would know when an attack is coming and thus, he would quickly find a way to counter the attack or dodge it. That ability is one of the worst ability to deal with. So, what if he can perceive his attack, he knows when and where his attack is coming from, he can counter his attack. What if he knows when and where an attack is coming and was unable to counter or dodge it?

That's exactly what Emmy has done for me, knowing that attacking the boy relentlessly is useless, he put him in situation where he would have no choice but to lose his focus. Avoiding the two set of javelin narrowly made the lose his focus, because the two attacks were unavoidable but somehow he avoided it but he lost his focus on his ability during the process.

And when he come back to his senses, it was already late as the javelin pierced his chest and right after that, Emmy appeared before him delivering a diagonal slash across his chest like he had done for him. The rough edge of the sword created countless tiny holes on the boy's chest making blood to flowed out like a spray.

"Arghh, bastard who are you." The boy shouted in pain and he tried to crawl towards his sword.

Stepping on his hand, Emmy pick the sword and smile.

"Huh you asking who I am? That's too quick, let's do things at a slow pace."

Emmy looking at the boy's shining long sword and smile, then he thrust it towards the boy's chest.

"Arghh."

"What a nice sword, I think I should keep it, it's way better than my wooden trash."

"Please don't kill me, please."

"Well, I'm not a killer, so your life will be spared but not without paying a visit to the god of death."

Emmy said with a crook smile on his face, two javelin appeared in his hand as he bent down.

"First, do you have anything worthy with you."

"Yes, I have, I have many things."

The boy said, panic as he reached into his pocket, he brought out three sleek silvery box and immediately tossed it to Emmy who caught it midair. He knew what the box were, three storage box with different patterns. One is a gear storage device, filled with different equipment, the second is filled with money while the third contains different pills, utility materials and different snacks. Emmy took one pill and keep the three storage devices in his system storage, then looked at the poor boy and smile.

"I think you've narrowly escaped death today."
