Chapter 177 - Duel 3
Hearing Tiger response, the four PAR widened their eyes. Are you for real! Can't you see this is no fight but pummeling. Can't they just return to the HQ and bring the big guys. Gordons wanted to shout. But he controlled himself. However, Tiger thought otherwise. How would the enemy allow them to return when they had already knew their secret.
It either they die trying or fight and escape. But retreating was not an option any longer.
"Next."
Without further ado, a lady in her early thirties step out from the Vulture knights. She had the average beauty you could find on the street. She looked at PAR, waiting for her opponent. Her face devoid any emotion, making everything look distant to her. Meanwhile, on the PAR side. Among the remaining four. They looked at each other, no one wanted to go out. However, they knew one of them had to come out.
A thin man walked out of the four after so much consideration. He stop a couple of feet in front of woman, looking directly into her eyes. "I know you're strong. And how strong you're. I don't wanna know." The thin man uttered without caring how others looked him. His name was Evra.
The woman named Ji, looked at Evra raising her brow slightly. She couldn't understand what this mean. Seeing the slight change in expression on Ji face. Evra shook his head slightly and continued.
"It would futile to fight you. I'm no stronger than those on the ground." Evra glance at the two in the pool of blood. Their state of being was unknown. And if they were alive, if they didn't receive immediate attention. Their lives would be over.
Why fight a meaningless when there was no hope of winning? Better to return and report what they witness and save their comrade because of unconfounded ego. Better to use their brain than fist.
"I concede." Evra announced.
Hmm!
Tiger and the others were stupefied. Their eyes widened, staring at Evra with their jaw dropped to the ground. What the hell is happening! A PAR surrendering without fighting. Tiger was furious. His redden, veins protruding from his forehead. He gnashing his teeth. He wanted to step out and beat some sense into Evra but controlled himself, swallowing his anger. However, the rise and fall of his chest describe how furious he was. Since he joined PAR, this was the first time this was happening under his watch.
"Let leave this place, I will show you why their was no coward in PAR. You can forget being a member of PAR as from this moment onward." Tiger muttered through his teeth.
Muttering and whispering echoed among the Vulture Knights. They looked at Evra with disdained. Though they may look conceited and behave arrogantly. However, they wouldn't concede because of their enemy was too strong. Where is the prestige then?
Meanwhile, the Vulture captain thought otherwise. According to the training she received in commander's training. Know when to fight, run and concede. No one appreciate a meaningless fight. You make look valor for a couple of minute. That's all. But after that, no one remember you. And the moment your presence was needed. You'd die a meaningless fight. Running or conceding to higher doesn't mean cowardice. It show you understand the bigger picture.
Likewise now, Evra understand the picture. He knew he couldn't defeat Ji. Moreover if he defeat Ji. Then what? Better to concede safe strength and prepare their escape, if possible. Furthermore, two of his colleague were on the brink of death. Any meaningless send them further into death door.
The captain opened her mouth to talked but beaten to it by Ji. "I respect your decision. But I wanted to witness your power. Use your strongest power while I use mine. One attack is enough. What do you say?" Ji announced.
Hearing this, the captain smiled lightly. She understand Ji thought. Everyone of them wanted to test their power against the famous PAR. It was known in Genesis Military Unit. For you to move to the higher rank. You must have sufficient power. And right now, they're below the ladder. Weakest of the weakest.
"No problem." Evra nodded. Immediately, he entered battle mode. His transformation was swift. His thin body bulge and his appearance change, not like the usual appearance that could be destroy by a strong wind.
Swiss!
Without further ado, Evra made the first attack. He reserved nothing. He went out with full force. Seeing this, Ji nodded her lightly. She knew Evra didn't hold anything back and she was appreciative of that. Without any change in her expression. Her stance change, one hand in front while the other at the back. Welcoming the incoming attack with much expectation which shown in her eyes.
In a blink, Evra appeared in front Ji with two identical punches. Everyone watching the battle was surprise by the punch. If not looked carefully. One would be deceived. However, how the Vulture Knight be easily be deceived. Their perception was not to be scoff against. Ji saw through the trick of the punch and cruel smile appeared on her lips.
'Want to trap me with a feint move while hiding the real punch under the fake punch. Naïve.'
Swiss!
Ji didn't' bother to avoid the attack. She jumped in the sky and perform a powerful Roundhouse Kick. Everything happening a blink of seconds. Everyone was expecting how Ji would deals with such a powerful punch. Who would have known Ji would crush it with powerful kick.
Bam!
Evra was sent flying. He rolled a couple of time in the sky while puking out blood. He crashed not too far from his unconscious comrade. However, his injury was light compared to other. More so, he knew Ji withdrew her power at the last minute. This action moved Evra. He looked at Ji with gratitude. He stood with some difficulty and return to his post not looking at the face of the others.
Though they may have look down on Evra. But his power and his battling tactic was not something ordinary people could compared to. He demand their respect. Without any delay, the captain shouted. "Next." 'This is getting boring.' She thought.
Gordons came forward without any further delay. He wait for his opponent while he was already in battle mode. Seeing this, everyone slight amazed by his decisiveness. Instantly, a young man in his late twenties step forward. Without further ado, the battle began.
Gordons couldn't withstand the first attack, taking a couple of step backward. and before he knew it. he found himself flying. His ribs was broken whilst some of his muscle had been torn in many places, blood gushing out from his injury. He crashing on the ground not having the strength to stand again. Now, he understand how dangerous and powerful the Vulture Knight are.
'I should have conceded like Evra.' He complained bitterly in his mind. However, there is no medicine for regret. Beside, his opponent didn't follow up his attack. Else he would know how wretched he would be.
"Next"
Bam! Bam!
Another was sent flying crashing beside his comrade puking out some of his organs. Instantly, he lost consciousness afterward. These was no shock to anyone again. The vulture Knight was numb to it. they were only expecting the last battle. The battle of Tiger and Jones. However, there was a match in between.
"Next"
Bam! Bam!
Just like her previous comrades. A woman joined the fray. Lying unconsciously in pool of blood with her comrade. Tiger looked at his teams not knowing what to feel. Since they arrived, he had under went many conflicting emotions. From shock to anger and then to fear. What he was currently feeling now was fear. Not just ordinary fear. Extreme fear that came from the depth of his heart. He took a deep breath and looked at the only conscious of his team, Evra and step forward. His back straightened while the fear in his heart couldn't be seen on his face.
Tiger stood proudly and looked at the Vulture Knight. Most especially the captain of the team. If ordinary member was this powerful then how strong was the captain. He sighed in heart. Their life and death was now in the hand of their enemy.
Jones stood a couple of feet in front Tiger with her petty body frame. If not of the darkish blue suit. No one would believe she was part of the unit. She looked nothing like a soldier. However, those Knight knew she was the third most powerful knight on the team. Underestimate her and you found yourself six feet below.
"Let begin." Tiger roared. His transformation was stronger than the others. He disappeared from his position and appeared in front of Jones in a blink.
Jones didn't change her expression. She block Tiger's punch with her soft palm, taking a step backward. while she twisted her waist to avoid Tiger sudden kick. Every punch and kick from Tiger was deadly that would send Jones parking if she was not careful.
Jones had been defending from the beginning. While every punches and kick from Tiger was getting more powerful. Besides, Tiger confidence had been boosted inwardly. I can defeat her. I can defeat her. That was the voice ringing in Tiger brains. His eyes glowed fiercely every seconds.
The fierce battle move the two from the usual battle ground. Jones remain passive, retreating every seconds. Meanwhile some of the Vulture Knight were wondering what was happening. They knew how strong Jones was. But how come she could attack her and remain passive. And if this continue. She would soon be defeated.
"I believe we've seen enough!" The young man behind the captain whispered. Only the captain heard him.
"You're right. we've the perfect data on how strong a 2-star PAR battle strength."
"Jones, wrap everything up. We've got everything."
"Ok."
