Madness
Seeing Milworc rush at me with his eyes flashing like an animal, I calmly led him into an area where my strings were still stuck around.
His stance implies that he’s readying a kick from his right leg but, he could also throw his right punch if needed as well.
On the other hand, if tries to use his left, I could very easily deal with it so I really only need to focus on his right limbs……..
And if he tries to punch with his right, the string near his flank will get in his way and stop him as well.
So the only thing I needed to really be worried about was——-his right kick.
As expected, his right leg was launched at me furiously, but I took a step forward towards him to take that attack head on intentionally, but instead, caught his leg with my arm.
I grabbed it tightly under my armpit to make sure he can’t release tit from my hold, and then kicked back at the pivot of his leg.
With a dull cracking sound of something breaking, Milworc’s left knee bent in an unnatural direction.
Still holding his left leg in my clutches, I could aim and break his right leg as well but, that’d be too boring so I intentionally loosened my hold and let him escape.
“——-AH FUCK!! You could barely handle my moves until now, so what the fuck happened, what did you do!? You didn’t use any skill either, so how the fuck did you get so strong suddenly!?!”
“You talk too much. Just come at me. I thought you loved fighting, right?”
His eyes went bloodshot with rage but, his mind was completely off the rocker as well as judging by his expression he seemed to barely even feel the pain even after having his leg broken.
I really wanted to see writhe in pain and agony before I killed him but, if he’s like this, he might not feel fear even when at the edge of death.
He was just angry as his pride as a strong warrior had been hurt, and he didn’t seem to feel any other emotion besides that.
Honestly, that would put a damper on my fun as well but, I guess I should focus instead on trying to steal his techniques and moves instead then. I mean, I am supposedly fighting a ‘genius prodigy’, aren’t I?
I removed all the strings I had placed in this area, and returned the room to its normal state.
From here onwards, everything was purely for the sake of my own enjoyment. That was my sole reason of fighting Milworc now.
“With this, there’s no more traps in this room anymore. Let’s settle this head-on, fist-to-fist, alright?”
“………I’ll kill you. I’m going to kill the shit out of you, you fucker!!”
He seemed to pay no attention to his broken left leg as he unleashed a flurry of blows at me.
Even if he can’t feel the pain, his one leg wouldn’t work properly, which should affect his momentum but, perhaps through raw fighting spirit or was he drawing out the last inch of his abilities——his barrage of attacks was still quite fast and intense.
I thought he’d use some basic bitch bookish techniques but through pure instinct and fighting sense, he managed to keep up and match me and mixed in some original techniques as well.
Every single strike, every punch was filled with killing intent, and if I actually got hit with any of those, they’d be fatal even to me I think.
Unlike Bahamut who could use the advantages of its very species to overwhelm its opponents, a man to man fight was decided by fine margins and required actual tactics, and moment to moment reading of the opponents moves.
From the big moves, to the smaller, finer actions, all of them made for some good reference for the future. And as I continued to dodge his attacks, I could tell that I was still learning, and improving with every second of this battle.
I had already gotten rid of the idea of ending this fight quickly, and I continued to enjoy my fight with Milworc but……..
Suddenly my fun time was unfortunately brought to an end.
“Milworc-san! Are you okay!?”
The members rushing up from below suddenly barged into the room.
A bunch of members had actually already arrived a couple minutes ago but, after seeing the corpse of their friend at the door, they had stepped back again.
They probably knew just from the state of that corpse that Milworc was the one who did it, and they didn’t want to join their deceased friend and probably chose to stay outside but…….
Sensing that Milworc was starting to struggle against me, they finally decided to enter the room now.
I was genuinely having fun, and I thought Milworc would kill them again for getting in our way but, as it turns out, he seemed to have changed his mind from before.
He pulled out his rapier again, and quickly fell back, and began to bark orders at his subordinates.
“OI! Kill that man and woman! Attack them together and kill them without fail understand!!?”
And here I thought he was a madman that loved fighting but I guess, I overestimated him.
Just like that Carlo, he also only enjoys it when he’s bullying those weaker than him.
The top boss of villains always turn out to be losers like him, huh.
Well, I already had my share of fun, and I was slowly starting to reach the limits of my stamina as well.
I was already considering ending things, so I suppose this is just good timing for me as well.
“Oi, you dumb bitch! Hold those scrubs down for just 10 seconds will you!?”
“Can you stop talking to me like that please!?……….just 10 seconds right. As long as it’s not Milworc, I can do that.”
Giving orders to Mielle who had been carefully watching until now, I decided to focus on only killing Milworc now.
There were only 10 seconds left but, if I wholeheartedly focus on killing him, it’s not impossible for me right now.
He was taking the counter-stance with the rapier like before but, with one of his legs broken, and a bunch of other wounds that had accumulated by now, his legs looked shaky.
His crazy psycho mode was all out at first which certainly caused me some trouble at first as well, I will admit but…….
Seeing him now, desperately trying to find a way to run away from me, turns out, he was not that much different from the rest of those fucking scrubs in the end.
“——Oi!! The fuck are you guys doing!!? Hurry up and kill them!!”
“Thanks for the fun times. I learnt a lot today, really. And I did enjoy our battle. You were a decent enemy………….but, there’s only 10 more seconds of your life left now.”
To try one last time to get a fearful response from him, I boldly proclaimed that but Milworc’s expression still remained the same.
I really, really wanted to kill him while seeing him cry, scream, and beg for his life but, if he won’t fulfil my wish till the end, I’ve already lost my interest in him.
I opened my mouth open wide as a I loudly laughed, and then got ready to hunt Milworc who was trying to escape.
