บท 89: Overconfident
Jake wanted to talk to them and ask for their surrender, but Rica interrupted him and rushed him before he could say anything.
He did not underestimate her because he knew she was as strong as him.
Jake evades Rica's attack rather than receiving it.
A large boom sound that created a small hole demonstrated how powerful she is, and Jake is becoming concerned.
He pulls out his black dagger and targets her neck, but she avoids the move and counterattacks by kicking his stomach.
Strength and Speed.
He could not believe a girl like her would have such a trait.
Jake was proud of his strength and speed, but this girl is trampling on his pride.
He despises this feeling… He despises the thought of feeling this way again.
There was no way he could defeat a monster like Angelina.
He is one year older than her, so how come he could not pass her?
She is just a woman, so why not simply bow to him?
However, when he said this to him while they were still studying in Academy City, she demonstrated why she will never bow to anyone who disrespects her.
She is too powerful.
On that day, she continued to grow stronger, eventually becoming known as an absolute threat to the balance of power in this world, according to rumors.
Realizing that he would never pass her, he decided to stop pursuing her and promised that he would no longer be frustrated because their paths would never cross again.
However, the girl in front of him is much younger than Angelina, but she can match his strength.
His youthful frustration is resurfacing.
This time, no matter what happens, he must kill this girl before she turns into a monster like Angelina.
That is right, he wanted to exact his old revenge on Rica.
No, before killing her, he will torture her until she wishes to die.
Yes, the feeling of taming a monster is very satisfying.
"Yes, yes, yes!"
While fighting, his mind is filled with various ways to torture her, which has increased his power.
His killing aura encompasses the entire area.
Rica realized this and tried to end it quickly by combining her attacks into a single punch before he became more powerful, but he easily evaded them.
His speed is increasing, but thanks to her Link of Fate skill, Alex let her borrow her auto weak point skill, allowing her to dodge his powerful blows and slashes.
Seeing her face becomes more complicated; Jake's ecstasy grows with each second, as do his power and speed.
If this continues, Rica will be at a disadvantage and, eventually, killed.
…
"Huff… huff…"
Anna is currently fighting the two person with her shadow manipulation.
Despite that, she couldn't finish even one of them.
She realized that she wasted her shadow domain for killing one person but she couldn't go back now so she focused herself to survive.
Left, right, up, down, every steps she take while backing down is something she mind.
Because if her mind slip for a second, she might get killed right now.
Looking at the movement of the two people, it seems that they are a duo.
Their movements are connected that she couldn't take a break even for a second.
Her fatigue is getting stack for every second.
Since she's not really a fighter, her stamina are mostly ran out but her mind forcing her body to move on how she wants, that's how she still can evade most of the attacks but if this continues, she will die.
…
Rica is showing down signs that her stamina is running out.
She's has some cut from the slashes of his dagger and some stabs but she still continue to move because if she didn't move, she will die.
His strength already surpassed her but fortunately, his speed is just only just a bit faster than her so as long as she could hold for a few minutes, Alex might arrived here.
Link of fate skill needs the permission of the master to borrow his skill.
The master will received a notification about it and when he accepts it, is that only way she could use his skill.
She can use his Auto Weak Point skill right now so it means that he received a notification.
Adding the fact that they talk previously she will only use her link of fate skill when she's in danger so she believes that he will arrived.
Although the Auto Weak Point has no effect against stronger opponents, it helps her to evade most of the attacks.
"Ah!"
Unfortunately, it couldn't hold her any longer.
She flew away and land on the wall.
Her body couldn't move anymore, not because she's stuck on it and she's coughing more blood now.
She's too surprised in how she was able to prolong the battle without any too much experience in battle like this.
Well, her life is in at stake so she will surpass her limit for the sake of surviving.
However, she's not trying to survive to live.
She's trying to survive so that Alex wouldn't cry for her.
Rica knows Alex more than he knows himself despite being live in his house for a few days now so she knows that he will be broken when she will die and she wouldn't want that.
Unfortunately, she's half dead now.
Her consciousness is awake, but her body cannot move.
Jake slowly walks to her position, beaming with joy.
"RICA!"
Anna recognized the severity of her condition, but—
*clank
The duo's saber and dagger clash with her Shadow Dagger.
"Look at us; we are your opponent."
"Kukhh!"
They are two people, and she is using one arm to block their attack, so she is at a disadvantage in terms of strength, so she slides their weapons and backs off to help Rica.
Unfortunately, no matter how hard she tried, she could not escape the duo.
Jake's steps are slow because he is enjoying the moment, but Anna sees it as a countdown until Rica dies on his hands.
