Sylas was just staring at from across the room with a surprised look on his face. Maybe this was finally sothing that caught him off guard.
Don’t underestimate him, he is still quite the opponent to be facing.
I wasn’t underestimating him regardless of how much power I produced here. Just have to make sure I don’t kill the guy.
Clash!!! Even with all of the pressure he was once again in front of with his sword against my gauntlet. "At least you didn’t bring any disappointnt with this fight." Sylas says with ease.
He was talking like the pressure was nothing, was that really the strength of an SS rank hunter? anwhile I haven’t even reached there myself so how could I expect this to be enough?
"Allow to finish our fight here by showing you Eternal Light." Sylas continues on as his eyes begin to glow.
The bright yellow aura around him is growing even more to the point that it is blinding once again. Focusing on sight alone is stupid when other senses can make a difference in a fight as well.
I close my eyes and embrace the darkness instead, letting my hearing take over for the ti being.
Breathe in, breathe out. The sounds of his boots hitting the ground as he moves closer to beca loud and clear. His sword slicing through the air towards was given away by his radiance.
I can feel myself step back just in ti as his sword brushes past , this was the perfect chance to attack.
At this point I had no choice but to trust my instincts. I swung my right hand towards where it felt like he was at this mont, he should be in front of right now... Hypothetically.
My gauntlet connected with a strange crunch that shudders up my arm in a matter of seconds before I hear sothing hitting the ground.
Clatter! Thud! At this point it would be better to open my eyes to see what I did since everything was dark at the mont.
So I open my eyes to the sight of Sylas sitting on the ground with the light gone that was all around him previously. "Is the fight over?" I question while looking down at him.
Did I sohow get lucky enough to beat him with that punch? It was kind of my gamble to end the fight without pushing myself too much more.
I didn’t want to kill him or put myself in a state where that was possible so I put enough power in my right hand to hopefully break through that radiance of his.
"Hahaha. I really did underestimate you, here I thought the display of power was all for show..." Sylas says with a bit of disappointnt in his voice.
He sounds more disappointed in himself than with the outco of the fight.
"I didn’t expect to win that fight if I’m being honest with you. That solar power you possess is insanely strong." I respond, kind of impressed.
"You’ve shown that we aren’t wasting our ti after all, so thank you." Sylas says genuinely as he grabs his sword.
I gave him a hand up as the pressure disappears from around , the gauntlet also disappeared after a few monts as well.
It was still unclear what that crunch was that I felt when punching against Sylas but maybe it wasn’t a big deal at the end of the day.
Clap. Clap. "Wasn’t that just a marvelous fight, I can’t believe I got to witness such a thing. We have lots to talk about so why don’t you go clean up Rokuro." Alarion says with delight in his words.
I gave a respectful bow since it felt like the right thing to do after such a fight. "I’ll look forward to it." I reply with a calm tone to my voice before exiting the room.
It’s hard to ignore it but the blood on the ground by Sylas told that he took quite a lot of damage from that punch. He probably didn’t have enough ti to brace for the attack since he didn’t know there’d be that much power behind it.
As I made it back to the bedroom from before I was t with Ghost and Lilly waiting for in there.
"You look pathetic, Roku." Lilly says before suddenly pressing her hand on my chest. Her tone ca off as if she was mocking but she seems to be quite concerned about .
"Seriously though, can you not go worrying us like that again?" Lilly continues on as she tries to smile, her eyes still locked on my previous wound.
Ghost also made her way over and took a closer look at . "I’m in agreent with her. Please don’t go doing dangerous stuff like that again.." Ghost chis in with a bit of worry in her voice before she takes hold of my hand.
Seems I worried them both, even if Lilly doesn’t like to fully embrace her emotions. She’s pretty terrible at hiding it, maybe it’s the lack of action that’s got her in such a funk lately.
Ghost already admitted that she needs to be looked at but her worrying about always felt pretty normal. She did take care of after what happened with the whisperspawn back
I look at them both for a mont as everything hits . The feeling of people caring about again was nice.
"I promise to be more careful." I assure them both with a positive tone in my voice.
This makes wonder if Minami is watching over , even with all the pain I’ve endured recently it would be nice. I just hope she doesn’t see anything lewd that happens in the future.
I wrap my arms around them both for a few monts as the silence enters. Nothing else was being said at the mont, it was just peaceful.
