章 26: Show of Strength II
"Screw this."
Dan mutters to himself has he then stands his ground, Armstrong is about to smash into him when he steps out of the way and trips him with his feet and watches him crash to the dirt.
Armstrong with his face to the ground sweeps Dan off his feet with his leg and then proceeded to rise to his feet once again and is about to put his feet on him when Sai goes in with a solid kick to Armstrong's face which albeit had little impact but still took him by surprise.
Dan sees this has an opening and reinforces his fist with iron before landing a heavy blow to Armstrong's torso.
"Be gone!!"
Dan yells after which he ejects his gauntlet from his fist with force taking Armstrong with it, this attack proved effective in driving Armstrong into a tree that broke at impact.
"Nice one boy but is that the best you can do??.... I expected more."
Armstrong gloats as he dusts himself,
"This guy is gonna be hard to take down…. Do you have any other trick up your sleeve??"
Sai asks having run out of ideas.
"I have a few…"
Dan says as he takes off his red hoodie, clamping his palms together, he spoke in a loud voice.
"Tetsu kuchiku-kan : kanzen katachi ( iron destroyer : full form)."
A silvery aura engulfs him turning his suit of armor into something more deadly with spikes coming out from his shoulders and it became more robust with five silver blades rotating behind him, both arms are covered up by a flexible shield and he got equipped with a sword in his right hand and a lance in the other.
"You had this form all this time and you were making us fight like wimps."
Sai questions in frustration.
"I can't keep this form for so long and I needed to know the extent of Armstrong's strength."
Dan replies with heavy breath.
"Pathetic… Do you really think you have seen my full power, my boy… You kid yourself."
Armstrong remarks as he adjusts his neck.
"Stay back."
Dan says to Sai after which he charges towards Armstrong, the collision this time is more intense with both men going at each other with so much force their attacks were affecting the trees around them.
Dan uses his sword to strike Armstrong and makes a minor cut but Armstrong doesn't flinch and goes ahead to head butt Dan, taking him back with the attack, Dan takes a few steps back dazed because of the head butt, he reasserts himself and goes in for another bout.
Armstrong dodges an attempt by Dan to stab him with his lance and kicks him away with a swipe of his feet, Sai knows he can't help much due to the fact that Armstrong was basically invulnerable and his musculature made it difficult to touch nerve points talk more of blood vessels and pressure points.
"We need to find a weak spot."
Sai mutters to himself but is soon caught off from his thoughts by Armstrong has he hurled Dan towards him causing a painful collision.
Dan and Sai attempt to get up but are dragged off the ground and into the air by Armstrong.
"I expected more from the lot of you, y'all have proven to be rather annoying and I'll not stand to let you go free…. Dan my boy, it's so unfortunate you had to watch me take your mom like the harlot she was."
Armstrong remarks in a sadistic tone, "what" Dan is wide-eyed has he begins to recollect that night.
[Flashback ]
He sees his mother being raped mercilessly by Armstrong has he yells horrible things to her…. "we should kill him while we still have the chance" Armstrong says to Karan but is stopped, "leave him, he is only a child, I believe no child has to suffer for the foolishness of his parents" Karan remarks has he begins to walk away, "then what do we do with him??" Armstrong asks rather upset at the thought of letting the boy go, "knock him out and leave him in the forest, let him live his life out as a free bird"…
[Flashback ends ]
Dan comes back to reality.
"You…. You raped her to death, I'll kill you!!!!"
Dan yells as he begins to struggle to free himself, Sai sees this and also tries to free himself but is left helpless.
"It's useless to struggle, accept your fates and die already."
Armstrong begins to choke them and is about to snap their necks when he is caught out by a loud bird cry that took him by surprise.
He drops Sai and Dan has he takes a few steps back and looks to see who had done it….. Ilara is standing not too far from Armstrong with anger in her eyes.
"How dare you, I'm going to make you pay for that."
Armstrong begins to walk towards Ilara, Ilara seeing this let's out another cry and this time doesn't release it in one burst but continuously, Armstrong slowly but steadily walks towards Ilara, her scream held him back as he struggled to get to her, Sai and Dan struggle to get to their feet.
"Dan… I think we can get him if we aim for the ear, can you do that??"
Sai looks towards Dan as he continues to struggle.
"Yeah, I just need to get to my feet."
Dan replies as he struggles to overcome his fatigue, Armstrong nears Ilara with each footstep he takes and when he reached close enough, he grabbed her by the throat inadvertently shutting her up in the process.
"I'll snap your neck, you little bitch."
As Armstrong is about to make do his threat, Dan rushes towards him with the last of his strength and hops onto his back after which he places his little finger into his earlobe.
"Die bastard."
Before Armstrong can react Dan sends a sharp metal rod through his earlobe which burst out at his other ear before creating multiple upshots that stabbed various parts of his brain, killing him instantaneously…. Dan hops off Armstrong's back and lets him fall to the ground has he drops Ilara, Sai manages to get to his feet and join them, Ilara stares at the dead body in front of her before rising up and glancing at Dan briefly.
"Thank you, you saved my life."
Ilara says to which Dan replies.
"I didn't save you, I just took my revenge…. Saving you is only a by product of my vengeance."
Sai stares at Dan for a moment before announcing.
"We should leave here before someone else catches us, come on."
Dan and Ilara follow Sai as they walk away from Armstrong's lifeless body and far away from the scene of a rather intense encounter.
