Joriy mused with a raised eyebrow, but when he turned, he found a kick right before his face.
His palm reached out with terrifying speed, grabbing onto Everlearn's legs, and he flung him to the side.
VROOOOOOM
BAAAAAAM!
The air whipped roughly past Everlearn's face, and in the next moment, his back smashed against the wall, a metallic taste filling his lungs.
But in the next moment, he was out of the wall he had crashed into, speeding towards Joriy.
BOOOOM!
BOOOOM!
BOOOOM!
Three shockwaves exploded as Everlearn punched directly three times, all of it dodged by Joriy with insane speed.
His legs reached forward, smashing against Joriy's head, who dodged to the ground, only for Everlearn's other leg to kick from below, slamming against Joriy's bazooka and kicking it away to the side.
Spinning in the air, his legs gathered momentum, and he slammed down on top of Joriy, who had his hands crossed over his head, withstanding the strike of his attack, though he fell to one knee.
"Damn, you're pretty good."
Joriy said with a mocking grin, and in the next moment, he slipped one of his hands blocking Everlearn's kick, and punched forward towards his face.
Evelearn shifted his head to the side, but that only happened in his head.
BAAAAAANG
CRAAACCCCK
The sharp sound of bones cracking resounded as Everlearn's face was smashed in.
Blood and teeth flew through the air, his skull fracturing as he was roughly blown away for twenty meters before he finally smashed into the building wall for the second time.
The world rapidly turned blurry, but Everlearn gritted his teeth, picking himself up from the wall and landing on a knee.
STEP
STEP
STEP
The sound of footsteps resounded as he turned his head up, finding the purple-haired man walking towards him with that devilish grin.
He forced himself up to his feet, both arms into a fist, and closer to him by the side of his face.
Rushing forward with gathered momentum, he pushed forward, only for Joriy to dodge to the side, and then,
BOOOOM!
An upper cut from below crashed into his jaw, raising him into the air by half a meter.
BAAAAAANG!
His chest caved in as the kick smashed straight into his chest, sending him slamming back into the wall where he had come from.
'He's far beyond my league…'
The realization hit Everlearn as he felt his own ribs having cracked from the kick, with one of them bent from its position and lodged out of his back, nailing him into the wall from within!
The pain he felt was horrifying, but the thoughts of the approaching death kept it away.
He gritted his teeth, forcing himself out of the wall, only for his neck to be grabbed before he collapsed onto his knees.
Joriy lifted the boy in his arms with one hand, while his other hand formed a fist.
BOOOOOOM!
BLEEERRRRGH!
Blood splashed over his face, bathing him as a punch slammed into Everlearn's stomach, making him cough out blood.
"Still not in tears, huh?" Joriy mused with a sadistic expression as he looked at Everlearn, who still had his teeth clenched hard, but that shattered in the next moment when,
BOOOOOM!
BOOOOOM!
BOOOOOM!
Three more shockwaves rippled forth, smashing into Everlearn's stomach instantly, and even more blood, with bits of organs, burst out of his lips, the world around him rapidly darkening.
"I want to hear you beg for your life…" The whisper crawled into Everlearn's ears.
"Beg… and I might just show you pity."
'Hey, system,' Everlearn thought in his mind as the panel blinked.\
{Yes}
"Has a minute already passed?"
{49 seconds.}
It flashed before Everlearn, who forced his gaze open to Joriy, his lips moving.
"Oh, finally at the limit."
"I can't hear the begging, say it louder."
"I…" The words came out, followed by a coughing fit that lasted for eight seconds.
"I…"
Joriy helped, leaning in closer to Everlearn's ears, and a sudden energy seemed to return to Everlearn upon that as he spoke out fluidly and clearly,
'I wouldn't say sorry, even if I fucked your mama, you bitch!'
[1 minute is up!]
Those words completely set off Joriy, whose eyes twitched in anger.
In the next instant, his hands jerked backward, veins of energy running through and releasing a ripple of energy that made the air around his fist dilate as if it was set in flames.
"Then DIEEEE!"
He screamed out as he punched right toward Everlearn's face.
It was immediately clear to Everlearn:
If that struck into his already fractured skull, it would blow his head up like a balloon.
Yet before it touched him at all,
SHRIIIIIIIINGGGGG!
A spine-chilling sound echoed out, and in the next moment,
SOOAAAR!
A hand soared into the air, and blood splashed over Everlearn's face, though his eyes remained wide open to witness the sight of an arm flying into the sky.
Joriy's eyes widened as he looked at his own severed arm.
"Wh..."
SHRIIIIIIING!
Another chilling sound of the katana being unsheathed, and Everlearn dropped onto his knees, the hand holding onto his neck falling to the ground, blood rapidly pooling beneath.
Joriy stumbled backward, both arms having been severed clean from him.
"How!?" he screamed out as Everlearn coughed out his lungs, turning his head up to look at Joriy, only for him to watch a scene that would forever scar him.
There was a dark shadow looming behind the horrified Joriy, and in the next moment,
SHHRRRIIIING!
The katana was unsheathed, and the edge of the sword flashed over Joriy's neck.
In that moment, Joriy paused in shock, while Everlearn's eyes widened to their maximum as the man collapsed onto his knees.
Before he even fell onto his chest, his head soared upward, and it rolled forward, coming to rest right before the kneeling Everlearn.
Both of their eyes looked into each other, Joriy's with absolute disbelief.
He had not even realized what had happened yet, or the face of the one who had attacked him before dying, while Everlearn looked at him with equal horror.
A violent lurching coursed in his stomach, and in the next moment, the world completely turned black as Everlearn collapsed to the side, fainting immediately.
"PSCHT!"
The sound of a lighter being opened rang out as a figure stepped out of the darkness.
It was none other than Boss Ash, and she lit up her cigarette, taking a deep inhale before turning to the unconscious Everlearn.
Picking him up, she slung him over her shoulder before stepping away from the scene.
"How troublesome…"
