Chapter 43 Winning To Lose

Peri was a magical being, and one of the greatest spirits to belong to Izek, so Haya could not control him. It was not his.

Besides its cute appearance and its ability to erase memories, it had another skill. The ghost Peri's tail was made for fighting.

Every time the tail is in fighting mode, it turns into a stone. The tail of Peri could kill people/creatures with just one blow, but Lucas did not know that.

Lucas' main goal was to erase the person's memory and bring them to Haya. He thought that Haya had more experience and would know what to do with this mysterious man.

He also did not think much of the person's own abilities. He had no idea what else he could do besides his staff and teleportation, but he did not need to any more, because Lucas was prepared to lose everything to win against him.

Those who touch people he values the most must suffer, and he will do anything to complete his own words.

*Qrueeeek*

Peri's tail of steel hit the side of the man's cheek.

It sent him flying out of his dimensional circle two metres away. The blow was hard, the tail hit his jaw and made it break, making the man cough blood from his mouth.

"What was that?" He put his arms on the ground, thinking that would help him keep his body balanced, when he realised that the dark blue grass in his eyes was no longer blue.

His head began to spin and little bugs he had seen racing in the weeds swirled around, it looked like an illusion in his eyes.

*cough*

The dark green looking blood came out of his mouth again, proving to Lucas that he was not human.

"Who - who are you?" Lucas asked him with a raised index finger.

Seeing a different kind of coloured blood was nothing new to Lucas now. He had seen the black blood before caming out of Kali, so the green colour did not surprise him either.

The heavy and rainy weather made everything even more difficult for this man.

His head kept buzzing around, forcing his surroundings to move like a mirage, "that bitch..." He spoke indistinctly.

"Why did you attack Kali?" Lucas asked him as he put his hand back on his rib.

He too was finding it increasingly difficult to stand, but he had no intention of falling yet.

"Pffff, you think I am going to tell you?" He spoke softly and took a deep breath.

Peri's attack hit him hard too, it wasn't only Lucas finding it hard to stand and breathe, he was doing it now too.

"Again, answer me." Lucas repeated his question.

He would wipe his memory either way, so he did not really care if this person answered him or not.

Lucas gave him a sly smile, his legs wobbled and he found it difficult to stand with his whole body. It would have been best if he had drawn his knees up and put his arms on the floor, but he could not give him that satisfaction.

'Why does Renexa need so much of my energy?" He swung to the side and slowly lost the balance of his body too, "not now," Lucas tried to gather more strength to stand still.

"It's hard for you too, how about we end it now? Do you and I go our separate ways?" The man spoke in his damaged voice and forced himself to smile.

It even looked painful for Lucas to see him now.

His jaw was almost in the same position as Kali's, Lucas at least made this mysterious man suffer.

He turned to Kali without giving him an answer and raised an eyebrow when he saw Kali standing still.

She just watched and listened.

A quick shiver ran through Lucas's body, for a moment he thought Kali was not breathing, but she blinked her lizard-like eyes.

Lucas let out a long sigh of relief, then turned back to the man standing there like a dog.

"Four legs looks good on you." Lucas spoke sarcastically.

His online persona was slowly returning to real life and helping him deal with this situation. To be in Lucas' position took a lot of courage, as did everyone in his world, and now to be standing in front of this man who had made him and Kali swoon and now hit them twice was a feast for his eyes.

In real life he was not a judgmental person, but his online persona was a different perspective.

Online, you can be anyone, and Lucas chose to be confident. It was a shame he could not use that persona in real life, and a shame he used it on his date with Kali. This second persona of his was the reason why they are here now.

But at that moment, Lucas was glad that it came back unexpectedly and that it was not Izek's power he had to borrow.

"I am sorry to tell you this, but it's not business..." Lucas paused and looked at him, "you hurt her, and I should hurt you too, but that would only send me nowhere... I have another plan for you." Lucas took a deep breath and pressed his hand to the side of his body.

Lucas' body convulsed in pain, a pain shot through his back like a bolt of lightning.

He let out a gasp as he felt sharp and piercing electricity flow through his body.

Realising his own condition, Lucas knew he did not have much time left before he passed out.

He glanced at Kali again and then turned to Peri. The man said nothing, so it was time to signal Peri.

Lucas had no idea how Peri could erase his memory, but he knew that Peri at least understood him. Lucas looked Peri straight in the eye, pointed his head at the man and whistled.

Peri relaxed his four fluffy ears and his golden eyes. He began to wag his tail like a happy puppy and walked towards the man lying in his arms.

"Do you think erasing my memory will work?" The man with the smock spoke, "You will erase my memory, but nothing will change for you..." He breathed in more air.

Lucas stepped back and widened his eyes as the man spoke.

"You will lose first, and then this dragon will be tortured to death, I have done you a favour here." *cough* The man covered his bloody mouth before revealing his sadistic smile to Lucas.

Hearing his last words about Kali, Lucas began to tremble. The corners of his eyes crinkled and his temper flared.

Anger began to pulse through his veins and Lucas felt a twinge of annoyance. The plan had to be changed.

He did not care about the memory wipe, he was going to take this man down himself now.

"Peri, do not do it!" Lucas raised his tone and with the last of his strength he began to walk towards him.

The green grass was still wet from the rain that had fallen on the ground a few seconds ago, so it made an annoying sound.

*trush* *trush

With each step it became more tense for Lucas, as anger rushed through his mind he clenched his fist and punched the man in the face, he heard something crack.

It was the man's tooth. It fell out of his mouth.

Lucas swung his hand again and slammed it into his stomach.

The man fell to the floor like a worm.

Lucas held his fist tighter, grabbed him by the collar with his other hand and pressed it against the man's face, harder and deeper, as hard as he could.

Lucas was suddenly invigorated by a newfound energy that flowed through his body like electricity, his heart pounding and he punched him again and again.

He struck him in the face about twenty times without stopping, "Die you fucking bastard!" He raised his arm and this time punched him in the chest, "die!" He gritted his teeth in anger until the man stopped moving.

Lucas stopped slowly and let go of the collar of his smock.

The man fell onto the grass one more time without moving or making a sound, then the system appeared out of nowhere,
