Chapter 18 : Episode 17 – Analyzation

" Huahhahahahaaah ". as Tazer position his body.

" Just a couple direct hit and you already so confident – What a joke ! " Tazer then pointed his finger toward Lucias. " Analyzation ? Understand ? – What bullshit are you spouting? "

Lucias just smile and maintaining his fighting position. "Come ."

"Huh?" Tazer confused.

" I show you what I mean by my analyze ." Lucias waving his hand mockingly to Tazer.

Tazer with annoyed expression compiling his energy to his body. The ground beneath Tazer cracked as he compiled energy into his body, his muscles tensing, his claws extending further. Then, with a feral roar, he lunged forward, a crimson blur slicing through the air.

" I wiped that mouth out of your confident face!" Tazer roar.

" This is what I meant by my analyzation. Each of your blows that I take was meant to learn your fighting pattern. The first thing is you are gonna start with trying to slice my face off as your first attack.".

In an instant, he shifted his body just slightly, his foot twisting against the ground as he leaned away from the incoming strike. The wind pressure from Tazer's claws brushed past his face, but it never landed.

 " Like science test, Each question must have an answer and how you calculate. In this case scenario, Each strike that I avoid." Said Lucias as if time pass slowly.

" And how I counter it." Lucias then Knee Tazer on his chin and in a split second delivered a liver punch and a straight through Tazer face.

 Tazer gritted his teeth as he skidded back, his claws digging into the ground to regain balance. He clutched his side where Lucias had struck. Tazer take a step back and let out a roar as his flew himself toward Lucias to attack him again.

 Lucias exhaled slowly.

" Again like a beast that have no brain – You tend to attack again using the same pattern because I get in your head." he muttered, As Tazer attack getting closer.

" Well I could use the same counter and pray for the best. But —." Instead of dodging, Lucias suddenly lunged forward toward Tazer's incoming strike, closing the distance in an instant.

" I anticipated that you could bait me to using the same counter but I already prepare my counter measure . Tazer claw only inches apart to Lucias face.

" And again in every test - not all the correct answer are the same answer."

In a split Lucias suddenly twisted his entire body upside down in midair, completely inverting his position and delivered an axe kick to Tazer's back of the head. Before Tazer could react, Lucias' heel came crashing down like a meteor driving his face straight into the ground.

 Lucias landed gracefully on his feet, flipping upright. His gaze remained locked onto the motionless Tazer, his breath steady despite the intensity of the battle. 

" And the correct answer also can be the opposite."

"HOLY MOTHER! DID Y'ALL SEE THAT?!" The teenager livestreaming the fight shouted, stepping back unconsciously.

 The camera shakily focused on the battlefield, capturing the dust settling from the impact of Lucias' devastating kick. His audience exploded with messages:

 "WTF WAS THAT?!"

 "Nice CGI bro!!!"

 "Is that blood real?"

 "When this movie come out on cinema?!"

The teenager gulped, his heart hammering in his chest. His phone screen showed the blinding clash of Lucias and Tazer surging against each other. The ground where they fought was cracked and torn, as if a war had been raging for hours.

 He panned his camera toward the crater where Tazer had crashed, watching intently.

 For a moment, nothing moved.

Inside the room of Stargent Headquarters, the air was thick with tension. Monitors flickered with live footage of the battle.

The Director stood at the center of the room, arms crossed, his expression unreadable. His gaze was locked onto screen, where Lucias had just landed his attack on Tazer.

The entire room was silent, every analyst, technician, and field agent holding their breath.

Kara, was the first to speak.

"…He did it." Her voice carried a hint of disbelief.

"Yeah, but is it over?" An agent behind her muttered

The Director remained still. His fingers tapped rhythmically against his arm, his mind calculating a dozen different possibilities.

"No," he finally said. "Not yet."

Then, from within the rubble—

 "GRRRRRAAAAGHHHHH!"

An inhuman roar erupted as Tazer's body twitched.

 His claws dug into the shattered ground, his shoulders trembling with pure rage. Slowly, he lifted himself from the crater.

Lucias narrowed his eyes. But in a split second he then smirk.

It seems he get stronger everytime he got mad. The more he rage, the more his potential rise. It could be his traits. Is there a limit to how strong he can get? Am I gonna lose? If its me from yesterday I would.

But now—.

BOOM!

Tazer reappeared in front of Lucias in an instant, his clawed hand slashing toward his throat with terrifying speed.

Lucias managed to duck the strike easily. But Tazer continue to attack Lucias with a barrage of his slash. All Lucias could do is dodge the deadly attack and wait for a counter. But Tazer attack are much faster and the impact are stronger than before.

The teenager recording the battle was trembling, his phone shaking in his hands. "WTF… holy shit… Did y'all can even see that?!"

"How many years I need to train to make my strike fast like that?"

"Is this the part of movie where villain are stronger than we thought?!"

"I tell you what, This movie is winning the Oscar. I bet on my dog."

"It's all fake guys ( to everyone who thinks this shit real)."

 Meanwhile, Mia sat frozen, her phone in her hands. Her heart pounded as she watched Lucias struggle.

Her fingers trembled over the screen.

"Come on, Lucias."

Lucias still avoiding Tazer barrage of attack with precision and while Tazer look dominant with his strike—Lucias with every strike that he avoid reign over the fight.

"RRRAAAAGHHHHH!" Tazer still continuing his attack of slashes. With every strike Tazer unleash—He seems more and more desperate as seeing the confident face of Lucias everytime Lucias avoid his attack.

" You think after endure your strike for my analyzation, I would let you hit me again?" Lucias after avoiding Tazer slash.

"Bullshit." As Lucias found the opening and kick Tazer from the bottom of his chin.

Tazer stumble back as he stagger a bit.

Lucias goes to his stance as he knowing that Tazer stagger for a brief second and he saw he chances. To end it all right here. Right now.

" Let's start the final lesson."
