Chapter 43 - The Price

"Dammit!!! I told you not to mess with her!!!!!"Faust charges towards Roney like a mad bull completely taken over by the anger.

"Beep!!~~~"

*"This same attack again, dammit! I won't be taken down so easily. I cannot be defeated. I'm learning the ancient martial arts  I will never go down by this soul shit.* Faust survived the attack of soul whisper on his sheer will. The same attack couldn't disrupt his soul this time and he could never let that happen again.

"This is called making things hard for me, you little brat." Roney falls back after saying the words and breathes heavily.

*"This device is eating up my spiritual power so fast!"* Roney suddenly realizes the sacrifice he had to make for the drawbacks of soul whisper.

Roney removes the two physical enhancers, the white crystal stones from his exo-suit. He reaches out to his wrists and rotates the dial on his right in the anticlockwise direction. "75  Newtons. I'm going to kill you if you don't walk away from here." Roney warns Faust with a convicted tone.

*"I have removed my body enhancement stones. This should stop them from consuming my spiritual power and all of it goes toward these whispering discs. I'm going to teach him what adulthood really consists of."* Roney justified  and he stares down at Faust.

*"Breathe in-breathe out. Focus, target the vital points, block and attack, hit and run. First cut off his arms and legs, and then go for his heart"* Faust suddenly becomes calm, resembling still water. He thinks of calculating the attacking way to take down Roney.

Yet, inside his heart, he is scared. He is only a 10 year old kid. He is afraid and his heart just doesn't seem to be in control. It just doesn't settle down, but he tries to act brave in front of the only girl in his life. He wants to protect her. He doesn't want to go down while she is watching.

Faust clenches his fist, but the middle phalanx (middle bone) of his index finger is protruding outwards, more than the rest of his fingers. All the fingers are folded inwardly clenching like a fist. But the index finger is only folded half way, and it looked like he is holding a knife in his knuckles.

Roney and Lucifer are taken over by confusion as to which martial art Faust is using. Faust takes off, hoping to catch up-to speed with Roney and he is doing great keeping up with Roney even when Roney is having the advantage of the exosuit.

Faust pushes him a close hand-hand combat with Roney and moves incredibly fast without letting Roney catch a breathe.

*Thud!!!~~* 

As everybody is watching, the right arm of Roney doesn't see to move or even show slightest moment.

Faust has severed the communication between the brain and his right arm. "Your tendon inside your arm has been cut and the nerves are dead." Faust smirks and tells to Roney as to how big a mistake he made, of messing with Faust.

Faust landed a hard blow on Roney's arm joint, and the next second, his arm is numb.

"It's not over yet!!" Faust shouts and jumps forward. He repeatedly lands many hits on the Roney's face, his chest. 

Roney is scratched and cut wherever Faust made contact. Even his exo suits which are defending him are dislocated and twisted at some parts on his chest.

Faust finally lands another hit. A hard hit in between the elbow and funny bone of Roney's elbow. It was a hard hit on his pressure point. Roney stumbled.

Now, Roney's two arms are numb and lifeless and this creates an opportunity for Faust to end this fight.

Roney could feel he's losing this fight, but he did not want to give up and get beaten up by a kid who's younger than him, he was desperately prideful at this point.

"Captain, let us help you." Roney's friends shouts from behind.

"STOP MESSING WITH MEEEE!!!!" Roney shouts and jumps back instantly. "Do you think I'm that weak that you pathetic people have to come and help me?" Roney yells at his friends angrily.

"Repair!" Roney shouts loud. Suddenly the exo-suit he is wearing responds to his voice commands and injects a nanoresuct into his spine directly from behind. Faust is taken over by shock. Both arms of Roney are back to normal in just a second.

"I will make you regret this, you shithead." Roney grits his teeth harder with rage taking over his body completely.

Faust rushes towards Roney as he wanted to finish this fight early without letting Roney to give enough time for him to rethink another plan.

"I'll make a mess of you!." Faust says as he draws his fist backwards to land a punch.

"Soul Whisper." Roney utters calmly.

"It doesn't wor-" before Faust can even finish his sentence, his right hand recieves a great amount of damage. His skin is slashed with marks showing up at many different places.

*"gahhhh!!!! What is this? It hurts so much. Ughhh, someone stop this pain.* Faust grits his teeth as his whole body turns red and he can hear his heart beat, as his body pulses. The pain is such unbearable. Yet Faust doesn't back down, when he thinks of Yui and how she got injured.

"I'm not done yet!!!" Faust gathers his strength back and throws his left arm onto Roney trying for a jab.

"Soul Whisper!~~" 

*Sizzzzz~*

"Ahhhh huh??? What is this? Is this my arm? M-my Arm!!!!! AHHHHHHH!!!" Faust cries out loud while holding his left arm.

Roney places Faust's punching arm in between his hands, and activates the soul whisper while Roney's hands surround Faust's forearm.

His forearm's flesh is torn apart into shreds. Faust can see his nerves and bone, stark against his remaining skin. His forearm is dangling, threatening to come off of his arm from the wound, and lot of blood keeps gushing out. Faust was in unbearable pain, but for the sake of Yui he wasn't willing to give up. He quickly wraps his arm with his T-shirt and tries to hold the bleeding down.

*"M-my arm.... It's going to be ok, there's no way I will loose my arm,. Nothing would ever happen to it. I need my arm, dammit!!!!"*Faust is trying to bear the pain that has been building up inside him mentally and physically. He held down his arm together without letting it fall apart.

"Ughhhhhhhhhh it hurts, p-please help me, my arm... Please... Save me." Faust starts to plead Roney with tears full of regret and trembles in fear while crying out because of the pain.

"Hahahaha, this reaction is such a pleasure to watch, OMG I'm going to climax watching your reaction!!!" Roney laughs, torturing Faust.

*Swoosh!~*

Yui who was lying on the floor until now suddenly disappears into thin air without a trace.

"Huh? What the hell, where did she go? Hahaha kid, she abandoned you and ran away. This is what you get, you piece of shit." Roney mocks Faust and plays with his emotions, and his head.

Faust is traumatized beyond words. *"Huh?Yui? She ran away?? Did she really just left me? I -I…. why the fuck did I try to show off in front of her? Ughhhhhh, grandpa, Nick, someone save me. I don't want to die here, I'm scared"* Faust bursts out in tears like a child and all his overbearing demeanour, crumbles down with his flowing tears.
