BXBX NOVEL Chapter 44: Wild Vincent
There were around fifty people watching and even though Vincent was nervous, he pushed through. And his first step to focus was to bang his head against the cage.
"Ah, I feel slightly better now." he said as he looked at the middle aged woman who was outside the cage, sitting on a huge chair that looked like a makeshift throne, "Can we start?"
Hearing his confident words, the woman grinned before nodding, "Absolutely kid, absolutely!"
She then looked at the spectators who seemed to be ready to watch the fight too and began commenting, "Okay then, before we begin the fight, I\'d like to introduce this new blood to everyone of you. He will be called the Battle God from now on and even though it sounds narcissistic, it\'s hard to deny the fact that is sounds cool! But here\'s the question!
Will he be able to spread and make his name in the cage? Or will he get chewed out by our trusty Rat?!"
"CHEW CHEW CHEW CHEW!!"
"RATTY RATTY RATTY!"
The crowd mostly cheered for Smelly Rat and seeing the crowd roar, the woman raised her voice even louder, "LET THE FIGHT BEGIIIIINN!!!"
The moment she was done, Rat and Vincent dashed forwards before both of them punched their opponent, not caring much about their own bodies. But unfortunately for Vincent, Rat\'s punch was just stronger than his own.
First punch was the deciding factor and a chance for Smelly Rat and he did not let it go. He pressed on and continued to rain down punches on Vincent who tried his best to dodge and block his hits.
He saw a fist flying from the left towards his cheek, so he immediately leaned back before sending a powerful kick towards Rat\'s delicate eggs. He lost his balance and fell backwards, but Rat\'s situation was even worse as the guy fell to the floor, struggling as he cried out in pain.
Vincent got up, but didn\'t use the chance to end the fight early. Instead, he waited for his opponent to recover and used this time to take a quick glance at his system screen which showed how War God\'s Body worked.

\'I don\'t really know what it means... but I\'ll just have to make the fights last longer to gain more benefits right?\' he thought, feeling slightly doubtful and conflicted as the opportunity to win was right in front of him.
But fortunately or unfortunately, Rat recovered while Vincent was struggling internally.
"I\'ll make you regret not taking this chance!" Rat declared, feeling humiliated thanks to Vincent\'s mercy. He then took a few steps back to make some distance so that he could buy some time to recover a bit more.
Vincent understood what he was up to and let him do as he pleased. He used the free time to mentally prepare himself and after a few seconds, he rushed in to fight.
He balled his fist and let it fly towards Rat who easily dodged it, but Vincent didn\'t stop and used his momentum to his advantage, rotating his body as he sent a roundhouse kick towards Rat.
It hit his shoulder and even though it wasn\'t a delicate area, the force behind the kick was a bit too much for Rat to withstand. He lost balance and fell to the ground along with Vincent who had also lose his footing thanks to the risky move he made.
\'I should keep him on the ground!\' Rat came to a realisation after experiencing the kick and knew that there was no way he could withstand too many of those kicks. He knew that he didn\'t have the same level of technique as Vincent, but he knew his own strengths well.
He pounced towards Vincent as he screamed, "Battle Goddd!!!"
It was too late for Vincent to act as Rat had already latched onto his legs, but when he turned to look at Rat, he saw him open his mouth wide before chomping down on his leg.
Rat didn\'t show any mercy and every single spectator could see that as blood flowed from the bite marks.
"AAAARGH!!!" Vincent let out a blood curdling scream before pouncing on Rat with his mouth wide open. The logical part of his brain seemed to have taken the back seat while his beastly side took control.
He copied Rat\'s move and chomped down on his arm, his teeth tearing into the poor guy\'s biceps that were barely there. Rat clawed on Vincent\'s back, but it seemed to have no effect on stopping him from biting.
Instead, he sent his right arm towards Rat\'s face, copying his move once again but instead of clawing his back, he went for the face. His nails pulled the skin, tearing it in straight lines while he pulled his head backwards, tearing out the flesh that was on Rat\'s arm.
Stinky Rat screamed, but he didn\'t let Vincent go. With pain and rage as a fuel, he went for another bite, but before he could do anything, his was met with a hard punch right to his face.
Vincent didn\'t stop and nor did he wish to as he continued to punch. The more he punched, the more his fingers and knuckles hurt, but this also pushed him to get even more aggressive.
"Raaaghh!!" he screamed, flailing his arms and legs violently as he felt himself getting yanked backwards, away from the bleeding Stinky Rat who looked like he had passed out.
