Chapter 208 - 208 – The Mad Man
Miro blocked Jia's fist with the hilt of his hammer. The impact of the brass knuckle and the metal handle was quite loud. Eric stepped forward to thrust the katana at Jia, but the bastard was able to back off.
I can see Eric and Miro are more careful than usual. That's because Jia's attacks are faster, and more precise than ordinary fighters. Every punch that man makes is like it could kill you. It made Eric and Miro dodge or block more. They can't attack at all.
A strange sight for sure. Jia was only one person, and he was fighting two.
The female merman was still trying to shoot with her dead rifle. I ordered her to come over to Kat and untie the amber-eyed girl's body. At first, the merman attempted to stand up but immediately fell. So, she chose to crawl while still holding her weapon.
I also ordered two of my colonists to lead Jia away from Kat. Miro and Eric are now more defensive and more withdrawn. Jia continued to attack aggressively, but none of his fists hit the two men. Maybe it's thanks to Eric's agility, as well as Miro's fighting experience.
"You won't be able to take Katherine from me!" This time Jia used his feet. He jumped up and kicked Eric in the chest until the man fell backward.
Miro didn't waste this chance. He swung his hammer at Jia's head. However, Jia was able to duck down and deliver a combination fist to the big tall man's stomach. Miro staggers back, and Jia holds the hammer. Jia then kicked Miro's stomach hard. Miro didn't fall over like Eric, just stumbled backward, but that was enough for Jia to grab the hammer.
With one swing, the hammer hit Miro hard, knocking the big tall man down with the side of his head covered in blood.
"The thing is…." Jia threw Miro's hammer far away. "After getting this power, I prefer to use my hands."
Jia raised her fist high, was about to beat up the already helpless Miro. However, from beside him, Eric came at high speed, ready to swing the katana.
"Akkkkhhhh!!!"
It wasn't the shriek from Jia, but from Eric, who was punched in the stomach by that bastard. Eric immediately couldn't move, and after that, his face was hit by Jia's fist. As soon as Eric fell, Jia occupied the stomach of my male colonist.
"Die!!!" Jia punched Eric in the face again. Once, twice, three times…. My male colonist's face began to splatter with blood.
Miro suddenly hugged Jia's body from behind. The big tall man threw Jia far away, then crouched down to check on Eric.
Eric could only moan in pain while holding his bloody face. He had only received three hits to the face, but that brass knuckle must have had huge impacts.
Miro could not crouch for long. Jia got up and ran towards the big man. Miro also got up, walked past Eric, already preparing to fight. His hands were clenched in front of his face like boxers.
Jia delivers another brutal punch combination. I ordered Eric to avoid the place, then got up and joined the attack. However, it turned out that the man could not stand. He could only creep away.
Shit.
Miro couldn't do anything against his enemy's attack. The big tall man could only protect his head using his two forearms.
I have to think of another way. My eyes wandered around and finally fixed on the water rifle that the merman was still holding. Beside her, Kat was sitting on the ground. The woman was finally free but could only watch the fight.
"Hey, can you tune that rifle to explode, like earlier? If so, set it to explode when thrown at Jia! Make the explosion as big as possible!" I ordered the merman, who immediately started fiddling with the rifle in her hand. "And you, Kat! Get some rock or something hard and throwable!"
Then, I gave another instruction to my men to carry out my plan. The merman had stopped fiddling with his weapon, now waiting for the right moment. Her hand was already holding a small part in the inside of the rifle whose casing was partly opened.
Miro finally gets a chance to catch Jia's body and throw him again. After doing so, Miro knelt down and was out of breath.
Jia bounced back with an expression that showed even more anger. The merman pulled out that small part of her rifle, then threw the weapon at the bastard who started running.
A massive explosion of water sent Jia's body flying into the air before finally landing hard. Miro sat down on the ground, looked at Jia, who was now motionless, face down on the ground.
Is this over?
Just as the question flashed through my head, I saw Jia's body twitch. The bastard started to rise to his feet, albeit with difficulty. His body was now so wet, and his head was covered in blood.
What the fuck? Why is he still standing? The explosion was tremendous.
Miro looked very exhausted, Eric could only lie down with blood rushing down his face, and the merman was no longer holding his rifle.
"Die… Die, all of you…." Jia hissed in a voice that gave me goosebumps. His expression was becoming more terrifying, no longer like a beast, but a demon ready to slaughter you.
And suddenly, his body staggered to the side. His left temple had just been struck by a rock the size of a fist. With a stiff motion, the man turned his head towards the direction the stone had come from.
Kat, still completely naked, threw a second stone but missed and only grazed Jia's shoulder.
The ugly-faced man chuckled. "You mad that I took too long to finish them, Katherine? Oh, take it easy, Honey. I promise to end all this soon. After that, we will visit a beautiful place. A place we will live in for the rest of our lives."
This man is absolutely insane.
Kat could only stare at her captor with heavy breath.. The amber-eyed girl's face—smeared with dirt and abrasions—still showed no meaningful expression.
