Bab 1564: Decent

BANG. 

Both men flew back, performing a back flip through the air before they landed. 

The man's eyes narrowed. He returned to his lanky appearance, raising a hand and touching his cheek. Ryu had actually managed to land a hit, that was surprising. 

In that moment, when the man's fist suddenly expanded, Ryu simultaneously attacked through the air, his fist that should have missed crossing into the void. 

That one simple punch carried the heat of a Fire Dragon, the energies of the world, and Order and Chaos. 

Ryu had done more damage than the man had done. It was just unfortunate that his body was far weaker than the man's. 

The man came away with a slight blemish on his cheek, while the entire left side of Ryu's chest had collapsed, almost taking his shoulder with it.
