"Oh? Using a magic tool to ensure your life, eh?" Silas looked at his companion and his bloody arms. "Well, I can’t say I blame you."
The big man knew the captain was considering and sneered, patting his large chest. "I want to do it, then." He said, "I’ll make it as bloody as possible.
"They have to know they’re just puny ants not even worth negotiating with!" He said, looking at the seal. "We don’t even have to kill them to show that."
The woman and the old man didn’t have any reactions and just watched from the side. However, if one looked closer at their eyes and their lips tilting up, one could see they were quite interested in the upcoming ’show’.
The thin man—one of the more gregarious members of the group— outright whistled. "Yo, Sin! Beat him up quickly! I can’t wait to do some exercise~!"
"Sure sure," Sin yelled back, grinning, as he stepped forward and stared down at Garan, who also took a step forward.
Sin punched down several trees in his path and kicking their trunks out of the way, leaving them with some clear space for movements.
Everyone stepped back and left them around a hundred square meters of fighting space.
In the middle of the new ’clearing’, the two stared each other down, and the man arrogantly gestured for Garan to attack.
Garan darted to his direction, appearing in front of the other in an instant, surprising the larger man. Garan raised his feet and Sin immediately raised his hand to take on his kick.
Although it didn’t do any damage to him, it still tingled a bit, showing the strength of the attack.
Sin’s eyes narrowed as Garan shifted his body.
Abruptly, Garan placed the force on his other leg, hitting the man’s stomach, a relatively weaker part of the body.
"Oof!"
"You!" Sin gritted his teeth. He raised his arm to wallop him, but Garan quickly avoided it. The punch was so strong that it created a wind that destabilized him a bit, but he managed to catch himself.
Garan saw the hole in the ground made by the missed punch, and quickly had a rough estimate of this man’s force value.
Garan manifested ice with his secondary element—metal—and he quickly charged.
On the side, Silas’ eyes narrowed as he watched. His frown deepened a bit as his eyes followed Garan’s movements.
At this time, Garan had already slashed against Sin with his two swords in expert movements. He did this continuously and with amazing speed, eventually landing shallow wounds on the other man’s body, enraging him.
"GRRR!!!" The man yelled, attacking continuously. Although he was physically stronger, Garan was much more nimble and agile and he avoided most of his attacks.
It was just that Sin created a few craters in his attacks and Garan unfortunately landed on one. The millisecond of imbalance it caused was enough for Sin’s jab to finally connect.
THUD!
Fortunately, Garan managed to block himself with metal, softening the blow. He spat out blood as the force hit his internal organs. He ignored the yells of his teammates, azure eyes focused on the enemy in front of him.
He had even fought Orcs hand to hand before! freeweɓnøvel.com
