Bab 95: Shield of Ares

"This is Natural Fighter at his full strength." Nathaniel said with a smile. "It's basically his body doing what his mind can't. It's like a primal instinct taking over."

Ryan placed his hands under him and kicked his legs furiously in the air, but Kiernan dodged them and then slammed his fist towards his face.

"Iron Smash!"

Ryan rolled out of the way while the fist hit the ground with a loud thud.

"Whoo!" Ryan's fingers jabbed towards Kiernan's face.

"Sweeping Catch!" Kiernan snatched the fingers and squeezed tightly, causing Ryan to wince in pain.

Ryan jumped off the ground and kicked Kiernan's chest repeatedly.

"Anatomical Bind." Kiernan moved Ryan's arms down and forced him down on the ground with his face planted on the ground.

"I don't want to break your fingers." Kiernan said while holding Ryan's fingers tightly. "Surrender."

Ryan moved his feet towards Kiernan's jaw but didn't hit him yet.
