BXBX NOVEL Chapter 33 - Mad Scientist
"Can\'t you give me a break? Just a few seconds is enough." Ezekiel complained at his storming opponent.
"Heal!" Ezekiel only managed to heal his health twice before Akkar showed up at his front again.
Since Akkar already lost 40% of his health, he is now 80% stronger than before. That is why this time, Akkar moved even faster than his earlier charge.
What a troublesome skill his enemy has. The lesser Akkar\'s health goes down, the harder he can catch up with him. After that last clash, Ezekiel finally realized that this is going to be a losing battle.
"Time out?" Ezekiel uttered in Akkar\'s face.
Akkar can\'t believe that his opponent still managed to play around with his current strength.
"Eat this!!" This time Akkar changed his attack by slashing diagonally, coming down from his dominant right arm\'s shoulder to his opponent. This way, Ezekiel can\'t duck and repeat his counterattacks earlier.
"Tsk," Ezekiel clicked his tongue in disappointment, seeing Akkar changing his attack pattern every time it fails.
I guess he is not an ignorant person that doesn\'t learn from his mistakes.
Noticing how fast the ax was coming at him, Ezekiel did not dodge it this time by jumping forward or backward. Instead, Ezekiel used his two hands to tighten the grip on his staff.
Then he explosively thrust his weapon on Akkar\'s chest that made him knocked back a few steps, canceling his incoming attack.
When Ezekiel pushed Akkar away from him, Ezekiel also took a few steps back to increase the distance between them.
[- 3]
As soon as Akkar managed to stabilize his footing, he held his great ax on his shoulder, then charged at his opponent again with greater vigor. "Oorah!!"
"Tsk, what a lively bastard." Ezekiel then positioned his staff by starting with a quick windup over his shoulders, like a batter in baseball waiting for his opponent.
As soon as Akkar entered the range of his weapon, Ezekiel clenched his staff harder. Then he made a wide arcing swing that utilizes the length and speed of his weapon compared to Akkar\'s weapon. Then it goes flying at a very fast rate, directly smashing Akkar\'s head.
Akkar wasn\'t able to stop on his tracks to avoid Ezekiel\'s attack because of how fast he was going at him.
BANG!!!!
Akkar then heard a loud bang on his head that even the surrounding chaotic crowd heard the sound of something breaking echoing through the plaza.
At the same time, Akkar started, losing his consciousness and slowly fell to the ground.
After his weapon hit Akkar\'s head, his body followed a spinning hop to flow with the swing\'s momentum.
Ezekiel also noticed the eyes of Akkar losing some life in it. Without wasting the opportunity to finish this match. Ezekiel immediately executed his next attack as soon as his feet landed on the ground.
He tightened his grasp on his weapon, then smacked diagonally in Akkar\'s head once more to hasten the drop of his falling body. Following that, Ezekiel leaped through the air and slammed his staff down towards Akkar\'s head once more.
At the same time that Ezekiel leaped through the air, Akkar\'s body also touched the ground. Akkar is barely holding his consciousness with his willpower alone.
"Watch out!!!"
"Get up!!!"
"Dodge!!"
"Wake up!!"
The crowd on the plaza screeched in unison. The plaza is now going out of control, calling out on Akkar to dodge the incoming attack of Ezekiel. Everyone is now literally on the edge of their seat, watching the fight going on in front of them. The six battles they watched a while ago; simply can\'t compare to the fight they are watching now.
Hearing the crowd clattering in his ears, Akkar tried to use all of his strength just to move his body out of the way. Then he realized that his body was not moving the way he wanted to.
Just when everyone is expecting Akkar to lose this battle in this one strike, including Ezekiel. Akkar suddenly rolled through the ground away from Ezekiel\'s weapon, waking up from his half-conscious state using his willpower alone.
BANG!!!!!!!
Ezekiel\'s staff crashed to the empty ground producing a loud bang and dust flying everywhere.
Akkar looked at the ground that had left a mark, like a footprint because off how hard Ezekiel smashed the ground. This clearly indicates that Akkar would have completely lost his consciousness and lose this duel.
Ezekiel did not continue his assault on Akkar and just gathered his findings in that clash. He was sure that he wouldn\'t win even if he continued with his assault. Seeing Akkar recovering at a very fast rate because of how awesome the game\'s system works.
Akkar struggled to stand up as his body wobbled. The dizziness he felt earlier when he was sent flying to the crowd that has somewhat recovered over time is starting to worsen again.
"What did you do?" Akkar said in difficulty while clenching his head in pain.
"People are relying too much in the pain reduction. Even if there is a 30% pain reduction in this game, I have guessed that there is no way your brain won\'t receive damage if it is hit consecutively. After all, the brain is the most delicate part of the human body." Ezekiel smiled like a creep. He wasn\'t afraid that Akkar\'s real-life brain will have some damages. Because, based on his observations, the Guardian and Parabellum\'s pain reduction function should work the same way.
And if it does work the same way, then Ezekiel can rest assured, because he tried smashing his head multiple times in Guardian to test his theories. At worst Akkar will throw up a little because of the dizziness he is feeling.
...
"Oi, oi, is this a joke! why does Akkar keep on losing when he has become even stronger and faster than before."
"It doesn\'t even make any sense."
"The kid is even making big bro look like a lab rat."
"Big bro, Akkar, you can do it!!!"
Only Alex knew that Ezekiel only lost the earlier fight is because he wanted to test the theories he wants to know. Even now, Alex can tell that he is still trying something she doesn\'t know about.
Mad scientist, a title that Ezekiel\'s father once called him when he showed his son to the world.
