Titan shook his head before nodding
at Blake.
It looked like he was still a little dizzy from Keith's earlier attack, but he accepted the
order and strode forward. Christina was stunned by the sudden reversal of fortunes. She
looked at Keith with tears in her eyes, not knowing what to do.
Keith lay panting at the base of the tree, heavily injured. Suddenly, a voice echoed in his
head. Injury recovery skill activated.
Immediately, the warm current returned to his body and he regained his strength. He
opened his eyes and got up, dusting off his clothes as he straightened up. When he
looked at Blake, his eyes were filled with murderous intent once more.
Blake, did I hear you say that you wanted to finish me?
Blake and the bodyguard both gasped at the same time. How is this possible? Keith,
you...this...
Blake was so scared that his voice trembled and he stuttered badly. But his bodyguard was well trained. Titan's expression went from stunned to normal in a single moment.
Then, he began moving toward Keith again. He kicked out at Keith's head. Hammer fist
proficiency activated.
Keith was fast enough to avoid the attack and he turned gracefully and landed a kick to
the bodyguard's knees. But Titan was more stable than he'd expected. The huge
bodyguard gave the tiniest wobble but the full force kick wasn't nearly enough to topple
him.
Clearly, Keith was still not strong enough. However, he still had his hammer fist
proficiency and he put it to use by quickly yanking the bodyguard's feet out from under
him. This time, his strategy was good enough and Titan finally lost his balance and
crashed to the ground.
Keith used his advantage to attack. He kicked the bodyguard's head and Titan blacked
out on the spot. Within three attacks, he'd been able to defeat this man too.
It was sheer luck that he'd still had the stones to throw at them earlier on. But this time
around, it was all him. He was a real fighter and this was his very own victory.
Blake's face was as blank and pale as a sheet of paper. He was no longer the arrogant
jerk he'd been just minutes earlier. Now, he was eyeing Keith in terror.
