Sacrifice: Time of Mine

Chapter 238: Unchained

However, even though he caught surprised, the Demolisher calmly continued his assessment, 'It seemed like he's a martial artist as well, I should learn his moves first.'

Without giving time for the audience to process what just happened, the Demolisher rushed again, fearless that his opponent may be stronger than him.

Holding the chain like a leash to himself, Demolisher then spun, threw the chain before he dropped and slid to swivel with his right leg stretched.

Avion dodged it once again but Demolisher didn't stop as if kept throwing the chains to not let it restrict his movement. He was making it go along his flow.

At the same time, these chains acted like a whip together with his attacks, Avion had a hard time dodging as he was hit in his blind spots, majorly from the chains.

'He kept spinning!' Avion became cautious when he was about to retreat. He doesn't want to clash with this guy. From the punch he connected earlier, he knew how tough the Demolisher is.

'This guy is sure to be drinking compound essence to strengthen his body!' Avion guessed. The reason why he was such in a state was that he didn't want to use his power.

Only if the opponent is an Elementalist then that would be fine. Right now, it was the best and maybe the only chance he got to practice his martial skills!

Seeing how adamant the Demolisher was in catching up to him, Avion stopped and didn't retreat any longer.

'Finally!' the Demolisher widely smiled.

When they reached face to face, their fists exchanged with an abnormally fast speed!

Avion was moving more as he tried to dodge most of the hits.

"Argh!" Meanwhile, the Demolisher was taking everything that Avion gave, 'He does not want to parry my attacks but dodge them instead. How could he evade and attack at the same time!?' 

They were both on the offense and a series of thuds could be heard from their exchange.

The Demolisher was topless and if one looked closer, they could see that his muscled body was lightly caving in many places!

Meanwhile, Avion has bloodshot eyes. Although he was taking fewer hits and was faster, every hit from the Demolisher was like a cannonball hitting him.

Everyone's eyes were on the stage as they saw shadows of fists exchanging. The Demolisher's eyes were moving everywhere at lightning speed while gritting his teeth.

Avion was part of the shadow as he was continuously moving as well.

"L-look! The Demolisher is getting pushed back!" someone pointed out.

One of the Demolisher's feet stepped back and it was obvious who was winning.

Many gasped at this realization.

The Demolisher endured and when a gap of attack finally revealed itself, he immediately, retreated. However, he was too rushed to escape that he forgot about the chains behind him, making his trip.

As he fell down, he saw his opponent jumped onto him like a beast.

"Tsk!" with a click of his tongue, he kneed the chain that coiled around him, raised his legs, and positioned his palm on the ground.

Avion placed both of his arms to protect himself from the Demolisher's feet. This was the first time that he blocked the Demolisher's attack.

Fortunately, it didn't turn fatal as it just pushed him back while the Demolisher used this kick to "jump" and with the vertical lift from both his arms, he hovered back and stood on his feet.

"Whoa!" the audience's eyes widened.

"But he broke the handicap..."

Manager Jemer made a solemn face, 'To make the Demolisher become serious, maybe there is a reason the higher-ups wanted to chain Avion Teller other than a punishment.'

The Demolisher and Avion stayed on their spot as they stared at each other, vigilant. They paused to catch their breath. But Avion's breathing technique was too helpful that while the Demolisher was still perspiring, he slowly breathed.

'What happened to me?' Avion thought, 'I knew that jumping onto him is a bad idea but I did.' he frowned. 

Meanwhile, the Demolisher had a very bitter expression. When he caught his breath, he rushed in again.

Avion wasn't caught by surprise but felt something was wrong, 'His movement changed?'

When the Demolisher reached Avion, he spun and swiveled a kick.

'Fast!' Avion saw a giant difference, however, he was still able to step back and barely dodged with the Demolisher's sole of foot grinding on the tip of his nose.

As soon as he placed his foot back, the Demolisher didn't give Avion time to create a distance between them.

A series of attacks from the Demolisher made Avion sweat and bleed. Without a chance to rest, Avion fell onto the ground. he looked up and saw the Demolisher raised his fist and hurled it downwards.

Of course, Avion would not choose to receive that attack that he kicked the ground. However, as if a homing projectile, the Demolisher's body moved, changing his fist's direction without losing its speed.

'No choice but to block it!' Avion raised his arms to protect himself but at the next moment, he only heard something shatter before the Demolisher jumped backwards.

"Wha-!" Jemer saw this and was about to react but only stood in silence, 'It would be bad to interrupt this fight.'

The audience wasn't that surprised when Avion stood up, unfettered as the chains broke into pieces.

'This strength... are you sure he's just a mortal!?' Avion looked at how his chain was broken. Although he already witnessed the Demolisher did it with his own chain, witnessing it the second time was more shocking as it was his own chain. This is because he was sure that his chain was pure metal and does not have any cracks!

"Show me." he then heard from a distance as Avion looked to see the Demolisher was smiling as if he was having fun.

That made him noticed that he was smiling too. Heat rose within him and fervor burned even though he was bleeding.
