Chapter 93 - Fierce Battle: Bryan vs Johnson
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Bryan and Johnson were trading blows. In just a few seconds, they exchanged dozens of punches.
"[Blazing Strike]!"
Bryan shouted as his fist was covered in flames. He threw it towards Johnson's face.
Swoos.h.!.+
"[Blazing Strike]!"
Johnson smiled and he threw his fist that was covered in flames. He used the same combat arts that Bryan used.
Both of their punch, the same combat arts, collided against each other. It caused an explosion to appear and flames swept out in the small area around them.
Boom!!
"Bryan!!" Joshua shouted when he saw this. He wanted to come forward but his opponent didn't let him.
"Joshua, focus on your opponent! Don't let anything distract you!" Clyde said to Joshua.
"I understand." Joshua nodded with a grim expression.
Joshua, Clyde, and George were fighting Johnson's comrades. Their opponents weren't an easy one and they were placed into a standstill. It was because their battle wasn't going to decide the outcome of this match. They knew that it's Bryan and Johnson's battle. The one who won in this battle will get the flag of the other team.
Swoos.h.!.+ Swoos.h.!.+
Two figures shot out of the smoke in the two opposite directions. They were Bryan and Johnson.
"For a Mage, you are too good in close combat," Johnson said to Bryan with a smile. He was a powerful fighter from Brawler Cla.s.s 1-B.
He once fought Bryan before in the ranking battle and he defeated Bryan at that time. So he knew that Bryan's strength improved by a large margin since their battle.
If it's the Bryan before then he wouldn't be able to fight him like this. Bryan couldn't handle his power before, but now it seems that he could.
"Your improvement. Your growth. It's too fast." Johnson said as he clenched his fist tightly. He finally understood that Bryan has a chance to defeat him with his current strength.
"I've trained every day until I pa.s.s out from exhaustion, after all," Bryan said with a grin on his face.
"Then, let's see who's stronger. You or me!!" Johnson said as he dashed towards Bryan.
"That's what I wanted!" Bryan casted his [Lighting Boots] and [Lightning Edge] spell.
"[Rock Body]!" Johnson activated his combat arts that could increase the toughness of his body. He then arrived in front of Bryan. Flames emerged and coated his fist. He threw it towards Bryan.
"[Blazing Strike]!"
Bryan grinned widely at this. He casted a spell called [Scorching Hand]. He then met Johnson's attack with his own.
Bang!!
Bryan managed to grab and stop Johnson's fist. He quickly lifted up his feet and kicked Johnson's side.
"Hmph!" Johnson used his free hand to blocked the kick.
Bang!!
He then stepped forward and grabbed Bryan's collar. He lifted him and smashed him on the ground.
Bang!!
The ground cracked like a spider web. Johnson was about to follow it up when lightning hit his body.
Bang!
"Argh!!" Johnson flew away and crashed in the trees.
Bryan quickly stood up and raised his hand above his head.
[Lightning Strike]!!
Lightning fell down on Johnson's body. But Johnson threw a punch towards the lightning.
[Ground Breaking Fist]!!
His attack managed to disperse Bryan's [Lightning Strike] spell. He then threw another punch.
Boom!!
Bryan rolled on his side to avoid the attack. The ground beside him exploded as the force of the punch crashed the ground into tiny pieces of rocks.
[Ground Breaking Fist]!!
Johnson threw another powerful punch at Bryan.
Bryan kicked the ground and he arrived in the mid-air. He raised both of his hands and casted [Lightning Strike].
Bang!!
Johnson's body was struck by
"Another one, [Lightning Strike]!"
Johnson pulled back his fist and used [Ground Breaking Fist] to scatter the lightning that was going to strike him.
Boom!
He pulled himself out of the ground and activated another combat arts.
"[Great Steel Body], [Muscle Booster]!!"
These two combat arts were skills that could increase a person's overall stats.
Johnson then jumped in the air. In an instant, he arrived in front of Bryan. He grabbed Bryan's collar and delivered a blow in his stomach.
Bang!
"Argh!" Bryan spat a mouthful of blood. He then grabbed Johnson's wrist. He was still using the spell [Scorching Hand] so he could burn Johnson just by grabbing him.
He yanked his arm before he threw him on the ground.
Boom!
Johnson crashed on the ground and it created a small crater. Johnson quickly rolled his body on the side as Bryan punch landed on it.
He quickly sprung on his feet before he charged towards Bryan with a grin on his face. He wiped the blood on his mouth with his hand.
"You're the best, Bryan!" Johnson said.
"You're crazy strong!" Bryan said as he charged towards Johnson.
Boom!
"One..." Bryan punched Johnson's chest and he took a blow on his face. He was about to fall but he forced himself to throw another punch.
Bang!
"Two..." Bryan gritted his teeth as blood flow down from his mouth. He received another blow on his chest and face. Clenching his fist tightly, he threw another punch on Johnson's chest.
Bang!
"Argh!!" Johnson spat a mouthful of blood. He was getting tired and he felt a numbling sensation in both of his fists.
'This guy! He's forcing himself to fight back!' Johnson thought when he saw that Bryan threw another punch aiming at his chest.
"If you wanted to fight that much then I will give you the fight that you wanted so much!!" Johnson shouted as he threw another punch.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The two people force themselves to fight as they continued to throw punch one after another. They didn't try to avoid the punches of their opponents. They just focused their mind on attacking each other.
"Twelve!! This is the final attack!!" Bryan shouted as he threw another blow towards Johnson's chest.
His fist flew straight to Johnson's chest.
Bang!!
It caused a ripple on Johnson's flesh as the fist landed on his chest. This punch was stronger than any other punches before. It was many times stronger than the eleven punches that Bryan threw before.
This combat arts was called [Twelfth Down Punch]. This was the combat arts that Bryan redeemed using all the points that he collected. Just one combat arts and all his points that he collected when he rank up to top 12 were gone.
This combat arts targeted one part of the opponent's body. All twelve punches were aimed in one part that the user decided, and when the user threw the twelfth punch, the power of the previous eleven punches was added to this last punch making it more deadly.
It took him a month before he could finally use this combat arts in a battle.
Johnson flew and crashed into several trees before he rolled on the ground.
"Huff... Huff..." Bryan was breathing heavily as he looked at Johnson. He was exhausted and he would fall any seconds.
Johnson lifted up his head and looked at Bryan. His mouth broke into a smile and said, "Ah~ what an unfortunate day. Congratulations, you've won, Bryan..." He then fell unconscious.
Johnson's comrades were stunned when they saw that he lose against the top 12 Bryan. Their mouth was agape as they looked at the unconscious Johnson.
Bryan turned his head to look at Clyde, George, and Joshua. He opened his mouth and said, "I'll leave..." He couldn't finish his sentence as he coughed a mouthful of blood.
Clyde immediately knew what he meant. He bent his knees and charged towards Johnson's three comrades. He caught them off guard and used this chance to s.n.a.t.c.hed their flags.
"Good job, Clyde!" George exclaimed when he saw this.
Joshua also charged at the opponents to distract them. They exchanged a few blows before Clyde opened his mouth.
"Are you sure you want to continue fighting us?" Clyde asked. He then pointed at Johnson and said, "Johnson is unconscious. You should bring him back to your camp and get treatment. It's for his sake."
With this, the opponents have no choice but to retreat. They carried Johnson before they left.
Clyde, George, and Joshua breathe a sigh of relief when they saw this. They immediately checked if Bryan was alright.
"I'm fine, I just need to rest," Bryan said to them with a wry smile. He doesn't what to become a burden to his group that's why he fought with all of his power.
"I'm surprised that you won against the top 10 ranker," Clyde said.
"That's Bryan for you," Joshua said.
"Is that mean that Bryan is the top 10 now?" George asked.
"No, this is a special test, not the ranking battles. So, Bryan is still the top 12." Clyde shook his head and explained.
"That's unfortunate," George said with a sighed.
"Well, thanks to Bryan we got ourselves three more flags," Clyde said with a smile.
"We have five flags now and the test will end soon," Joshua said as he looked in the sky.
"We should go now before other groups appeared," Clyde said.
