Chapter 14

“Crap…”

Said Nolin, and his eyes opened. And he glared at an entity which stood on the other side of the park. The person was wearing a black cloak, and a hood was covering most of their face. 

“Impressive! You have noticed me in spite of the fact that I was trying to conceal myself as much as possible… However, perception is great; without power, it is worth nothing…”

Declared the newcomer, and in the next moment, a green aura appeared around Nolin, and he stood up. Nolin clenched his fists and then vanished. Behind the hooded person, a green light appeared, and then Nolin appeared in its place; however, the entity quickly turned around, punched Nolin in the guts, then grabbed his face, and the two teleported away into a barren land. And the moment they arrived, the entity pushed Nolin away.

“Impressive… Show me everything you got, and then I will let you live, human. I have to bring good news to His Majesty, so I hope you can provide the necessary data!”

“I don’t know what data you are talking about, but I have to warn you… I am pissed off! You are disturbing me!”

“Oh, don’t cry… Disturbing you, that is PRECISELY what I want. Do you think you can scare, intimate or beat me?!”

Said the entity, and in response, Nolin only smiled and put his wand back into his bag, then dropped his bag.

“It seems you are ready… Good, let’s not waste any more time!!”

Shouted the being and revealed his face. He was seemingly a young boy with short purple hair, but he had an extra eye above his nose. His extra eye was purple; the others were dark brown. Moments later, the being started laughing, and his purple eye started emitting purple light, and a thin purple aura formed around him. Seeing the creature’s display, Nolin followed him, unleashed his green aura, and put his hands into his pocket after dropping his cane. The two of them started walking towards one another until their chest almost touched together.

“Strange approach for a mage!”

“A mage? How dare you degrade me to this level? I am no mere mage…”

Declared Nolin; however, he was not able to finish speaking, as his opponent smashed him in the face; but Nolin instantly drew his hands forth from his pockets and touched the creature’s chest. Nolin’s hands created a green explosion causing the creature to fly back, and the entity’s previous punch forced Nolin to take a step back.

“Great creativity! How about this?!”

Spoke up the creature and clapped; however, the moment he pulled his palms away, a purple rod appeared between his palms. The creature grabbed the purple rod and dashed back at Nolin. The moment he got close to Nolin, he jumped up, but almost instantly, he was pushed back by a green whip used by Nolin. Nolin rushed after the creature, but he was too slow to react to an incoming purple pellet coming from his opponent. The pellet was moving rapidly and pierced his already injured leg. Nolin unconsciously kneeled down and grabbed his leg, letting his guard down.

“Wide open!”

Shouted the creature, appeared in front of Nolin, and uppercut him with all of his might. Nolin was lifted up from the ground, but before he could have really fallen back down, the creature kicked him in the chest; Nolin grabbed the creature’s leg and slammed him into the ground.

“Are you done yet?”

Asked Nolin, but in response, he was kicked in the face. And the creature slightly dashed back.

“Done? No… I am just getting started!! I hope you can still fight because it was merely a warmup!”

Laughed the monster as his clothes started to gore off, and his aura exploded around him. Most of his clothes were destroyed, and now all three of his eyes were purple.

“This will be a bit problematic… “

Mumbled Nolin, but he had no time to finish because the creature dashed at him and punched him in the face, causing Nolin to perform a flip, but he landed on his feet. His nose was bleeding, but he was smiling.

“Hahaha! FINALLY! This feeling! It was so long since I felt this great!!”

“Are you insane? You should be afraid to lose your life, not…”

“I am going to f****** destroy and devour you.”

Shouted Nolin, and he raised his hand; in a moment’s time, his hand gained a dense green aura, and then dozens of circles appeared behind Nolin. All of them were the same. The creature looked at them, but couldn’t see them properly as they only appeared for a brief moment, then suddenly, a devastating burst of green power blasted him back and terraformed the area slightly. The creature quickly stood up and quickly punched forward as Nolin rushed towards him while still having a wide smile on. The beast’s fist collided with Nolin’s head, causing it to crack and causing Nolin to be launched backwards; still, Nolin grabbed the monster’s hand and spun him around, pulled him along with him, and uppercut him. 

“F*** this, f*** you… F*** EVERYTHING AND EVERYONE!”

Screamed the beast and clenched his fist so hard that it started bleeding; he collected most of his aura around his clenched fist, then punched Nolin’s stomach. Nolin instantly vomited blood and darted away, and as he hit the ground, he stayed there.

“F***… He is inhuman…I was sent here to toy with him… but he had me run for my money! Any human on his level would have died long ago… But he… He also saw right through my strengths and weakness… He knew that at his current level, he couldn’t really harm me with pure magic, so he went for a melee fight…He also stimulated my magical circulation. My hands are shaking and are slightly numb…”

Thought the creature, but was soon brought back to reality as he noticed a sudden green explosion and then he was punched in the head. Nolin unleashed a barrage of punches upon the beast, and soon the creature also followed Nolin. The two of them were throwing punches at one another without blocking, evading or dodging. At first, they were standing still, but then Nolin was slowly pushed back.

“How is he still moving…I see now… it will be a test of endurance… we will see who can last longer. Either he falls, or he completely blocks my magical powers and defeats me… It will be a tough fight, but I think I got this.”

Thought the creature as he increased his speed. Nolin’s blood splashed everywhere around the area; however, Nolin couldn’t make the creature bleed. After minutes of just punching, Nolin finally spoke up.

“Are you afraid of your shadow?”

“Wh…”

Suddenly a green hand pierced the creature’s chest. And as the hand pulled back, it pulled the creature’s spine out, right through its back. The creature was about to fall; however, suddenly, his head was impaled by his own spin. It went straight through his third eye.

“Nap time…”

Said Nolin, and then he fell right next to the monster’s corpse.
