Adam vs Maggot

Fifteen minutes have passed, and there is no sign of Mr. Ali's appearance. The mafia leader was starting to get impatient. "How long until he comes? What is taking him so long?" He asked Adam.

"In a moment, he'll be on his way." Adam said this while thinking about how to secure the hostages from them, especially Eva.

Currently, he has only mastered the power of fire and water. All this time, he has been practicing controlling these two powers together and combining them to create some quite powerful techniques. Adam thought that if he was alone against all of them, there was still a chance of winning. But having hostages would make every movement very difficult.

Suddenly, an idea crossed Adam's mind. He tried to distract the mafia's attention. He slowly rubbed the seal on his left hand with the thumb of his right hand and whispered softly, "Hell wind."

Gradually, the temperature of the room around Adam became hotter and hotter. The visitors began to feel stifling. Several mafias were seen sweating and fanning their bodies with their hands. The mafia leader was no exception; he was so hot that he finally put his gun on a nearby table and started wiping the sweat that dripped down his neck. Seeing this opportunity, Adam immediately moved as fast as possible to grab the gun and push Eva away from the mafia leader.

After successfully seizing the gun, Adam pointed it at the mafia leader. After that, he ordered all the mafia members to release all the hostages. Seeing this condition, all the mafia's subordinates had no other choice. Finally, the visitors ran away and scattered. After that, only the mafia members, Adam, and the bodies of the murdered victims remained. At this point, Adam ran out of ideas on how he could escape from that place safely.

"How is this boss? It seems like the owner of this restaurant doesn't want to meet us," one of the mafia's men asked.

"It's all because of this bastard. He messed everything up. Let's just kill him and burn this place down." Shouted one of his other men.

"You all step back. It seems this young man is quite brave. Let me handle him myself. He doesn't know who Maggot really is." Said the mafia leader, whose name turned out to be Maggot.

"Hahaha, what a name that suits your despicable nature." Adam commented while laughing.

Seeing this, Maggot's face turned bright red. Maggot stepped forward, wanting to beat Adam. Adam reflexively backed away while threatening, "Stay where you are or I'll shoot you."

Maggot didn't care about Adam's words.

"Bang!"

The sound of a gunshot sounds so loud. Maggot stopped in his tracks, and his head looked up because he had been hit by a bullet. All the mafia smiled. Adam was surprised and felt that something was wrong.

Bugh!

Suddenly, a hard blow hit Adam's stomach, sending him flying several meters back. The gun was thrown into the corner of the room. Maggot was seen standing, smiling, and grinning. The bullet was seen stuck in his forehead. No blood flowed. Then Maggot took the sticking bullet, leaving a hole in his forehead.

"Are you surprised, dear? Hahaha. Is this your first experience seeing a monster?" Maggot asked in a disdainful tone.

Adam stood up while rubbing the seal with the thumb of his right hand and said, "Fireball!"

A fireball flew at Maggot. Maggot was surprised and happy to see a worthy opponent. The fireball was unable to harm Maggot's skin. It seems the skin is quite thick and can withstand sharp objects and heat. Maggot said, "Finally, I found a worthy opponent. It's good to find out that there was a grain of gold in the haystack. Now taste this!" Maggot throws a punch at Adam. Adam swiftly avoided it. Maggot launched a kick. Adam was still able to avoid it, but his kick hit the wall, and it cracked. Unexpectedly, there was a follow-up kick from Maggot in Adam's blind spot.

Bugh!

Adam was thrown several meters back again. His stomach felt nauseous until he finally vomited blood. Maggot's power feels very strong. His punch felt ten times as strong as an ordinary person's punch. Maggot grabbed Adam's hair and hit him in the face until his nose was bleeding. His head felt dizzy. There's no other way. Adam had to ask his guardian for help because his condition did not allow it.

"Inferno, appear!"

Whoooossss....

From Adam's left hand, a large flame shot out, forming a human figure with a body of fire. Maggot was shocked, immediately let go of his grip, and took a few steps back.

"Hooaaaahhhhmmm... What's wrong, kid? You've disturbed my sleep. Is there something interesting to do?" Inferno said this while yawing.

Seeing the figure of a creature in the form of fire, the mafia members spontaneously shot at it continuously. Inferno just waved his hand and said, "Fire shield." Several fire shields surrounded him and deflected all the bullets.

"Who are these bastards? They are really impolite. Do you guys feel happy attacking innocent people like me? Now it's my turn to tease you." Inferno said this while grinning.

"Flaming needle!" A fiery needle appeared floating in front of Inferno. The needle flew following the movement of Inferno's hand. The mafia could already guess what the creature would do. Sure enough, the needle flew towards the mafia and penetrated all of their right arms, making the gun fall. Some of them tried to run to escape, but Inferno prevented this by piercing their legs with a flaming needle until they fell to the ground. The sound of screams of pain from the mafia members' mouths was very loud. Inferno laughed like a psychopath. "Look. I didn't kill them like before. Are you satisfied, kid?" Inferno asked Adam while Adam was praising him. "Yeah, good job! Now help me face their boss. I've run out of ideas. His skin is very thick. Bullets and heat can't penetrate it."

"Hmmm... Really?" Inferno is increasingly challenged to hear that there is a worthy opponent.

His eyes looked at Maggot, who was burning with anger at seeing his men being beaten like that. Maggot immediately approached Inferno and intended to hit him, but Inferno immediately pointed his fiery needle at Maggot. Maggot laughed while still charging forward. The needle was unable to penetrate the skin. Maggot managed to hit Inferno at the solar plexus. Inferno was pushed back. "Dragon Breath." Inferno spits fire from his mouth towards Maggot, hoping that Maggot will be burned by the fire, but nothing happens.
