1 hour later, Gin defeated another magical beast resembling a lion that had large wings, possessing strength around 30,000Kg.
His comprehension of Fistforce progressed to some extent, now he can shoot three attacks with Fistforce before exhausting himself. It was a great improvement.
Just as he collected the token of the magical beast, a voice drifted across and reached Gin's ear. "I finally met a human..."
The voice didn't alarm Gin, he calmly gazed at the youth before him who had blood-colored spear on his back. The youth is none other than Fiend Hadeon.
'He's a Fiend?' If not for the sentence, 'I finally met a human', Gin may have considered him as an ordinary human youth.
"I can't remember reading any information related to you, I guess you are not from the core region. But why do I sense a dangerous aura around you? A bit interesting!" Hadeon spoke in a pondering tone.
Hadeon's manner of speech confused Gin as he couldn't determine whether the person in front of him is speaking to him or talking with himself.
Gin didn't know anything about this person but he was sure of one thing - he's strong. Maybe, the strongest he ever met in the Physique Enrichment stage.
Furthermore, there's this repugnant feeling as if his entire being detest the person before him. He wonders why? He was sure this was the first time they met.
"Don't mistake me for a human, I am a Fiend. I want you to know you died by a Fiend's hand." Hadeon stated and attacked Gin.
Arriving before Gin with a flash, he kicked aiming left side of his head. He was fast but his actions are relaxed and casual as if he was fighting a weaker being.
Gin imitated his opponent's carefree look and casually blocked the attack with the left hand but only after blocking the strike he understood his opponent's true strength.
The kick felt heavy, oppressive, and strong. Even though it didn't injure Gin, a normal person would have broken their hand if they blocked like Gin, casually.
'Even the Fiends Darkfang and Raz aren't this strong, he's definitely not an ordinary Fiend. Who is he, Zhyler, Hadeon, or Ares?' Gin thought.
Noticing his attack was easily tackled, Hadeon's blood surged in excitement. "I am not wrong, you are strong, worthy to perish under my spear."
Saying this, Hadeon sheathed his spear and pointed at Gin, taking a weapon stance.
"Tell me your name?" Gin asked.
Before Hadeon could answer, Gin grinned and continued, "At least you are stronger than Darkfang and Raz, right?"
"What?"
"They were boring, not much of a fun. I hope you are not!" Gin provoked.
"You killed Darkfang and Raz?"
"No, they weren't strong enough for me to personally kill them."
As soon as Gin spoke his words, a dark aura broke out from Hadeon scattering in all directions. It was oppressive, suffocating, and ominous submerging everything.
It didn't affect Gin much but he could sense Hadeon's aura amplified by multiple folds.
Dark lines spread across his body like bulging vines, his eyes turned starry black while his dark green hair waved atop his head. Black flumes gathered around as if he was a hell incarnate.
Gin's eyes narrowed noticing the change, he sensed terrifying energy fluctuations from Hadeon's body but just after seconds, everything went back to normal.
The ominous black mass dispersed while Hadeon's eyes returned to his usual green, so was his hair.
"You humans killed my blood brother, I will kill every single human in the ruin, only then his soul may rest in peace." Hadeon coldly spoke.
'He's terrifying, able to control his emotions so well. I almost thought he lost his cool.' Gin mused.
"Oh, Who's your brother? Darkfang or Raz?" Gin asked, curious.
What answered him is a spear, heavy thrust towards his heart. Gin skillfully evaded the pointed head by sidestepping to his right and punched at his opponent's spleen area.
'Bam!'
Hadeon blocked the attack with his left hand, the impact forced him to take four steps back. He couldn't believe the outcome, forced back by his opponent.
"You are a Physique Cultivator, no wonder you are this strong. I, Hadeon will defeat you today." Hadeon said and raised his spear which gleamed in metallic radiance.
'So he's Fiend Hadeon, one of the remaining four leaders of Fiend Minions.' Gin thought.
Gin drew out the First-class knife which he brought from the Ranker division. Even though he wasn't proficient in knives, it may help him in blocking the attacks which aren't avoidable.
Hadeon charged forward, swinging his spear. His attacks were simple; heavy thrust which is precise and fast, failing to dodge or block the attack will pierce his body.
Spinning the spear and driving it from above his head which is filled with power and strength. Gin can only evade his monstrous attack that may even injure his powerful physique.
'He is different from Darfang and Raz, his physique is half strong as me with overflowing stamina.' Gin evaluated, as there wasn't any sign of hard breathing even after such powerful and consuming attacks.
As the fight continued Gin was more and more astonished by the strength displayed by Hadeon as if he holds boundless energy and stamina.
"Why is he stronger than other Fiends, Is this the true strength of the Fiends?" Gin thought, bewildered.
Fighting Hadeon gave Gin a feeling, he was fighting a person who practices both the Physique and spirit seal path at the same time.
He could clearly see Hadeon has only discovered 10 hidden seals, but he was able to match Gin who has a strength greater than normal practitioners with 11 hidden seals.
'If all the Fiends are this strong...' just imagining about it terrified him a little. 'Thankfully, not all fiends are this strong.'
Gin was waiting for a perfect opportunity to use his Fistforce, so was his opponent.
The Fight between them continued for nearly 15 minutes, both knew they didn't use their trump card; they were waiting for their opponent to reveal first.
"It's pointless to waste our time like this." Hadeon suddenly spoke, while the aura surrounding his spear changed.
Gin's brows furrowed a little feeling the change, he raised his guard while his eyes carefully perceived the opponent's every movement. The aura radiating from the spear was different from before as if it became alive.
Hadeon charged forward and brandished his mighty spear at Gin, the attack was swift, deadly, and several times faster than the previous strikes.
Gin didn't try to block the attack with his knife but backed away, avoiding the strike. Even so, a transparent red line extended from Hadeon's spear and gashed his chest.
A cut formed on Gin's chest, from right top to lower left while fresh blood oozed from the wound staining his cloth. The cut wasn't deep, if nor for the combat dress he bought from ranker division, the strike would have inflicted greater injury on him.
He drew out a vial from the magical space and drank the healing potion that stopped his wounds from bleeding further.
Gin was sure he evaded the attack, but that thin red line injured him. If he wasn't wrong, "Is that a Spear Intent?" he thought aloud.
It's similar to the Fistforce Gin comprehended but more lethal and efficient. Fistforce centers on largescale destruction while weapon intents focus on killing.
What is a sharpened weapon? It's a killing tool.
"No, It's just a half-step spear intent, off from reaching the complete one." Hadeon indifferently mentioned.
Gin beamed "You should have used your Spear intent right from the start, why waste time. Now, it's challenging to fight you."
Undeterred by his injury, Gin dashed forward concentrating his strength on the hand. The Fistforce gathered around his fist, forming an obscure cloak.
'What?' Hadeon's a little surprised as he didn't expect his opponent to come at him, knowing he comprehended a spear intent.
He could feel his opponent's fighting intent has been evoked by his spear intent as if he awakened some slumbering ancient beast.
"Fist of Destruction" Gin used his martial skill, fusing the Fist force with it.
Sensing the destructive force behind the attack, Hadeon held the spear in front of his chest and spun it faster, creating a small shockwave around him. Possibly, a defensive skill.
Just as Gin was a meter away from Hadeon, he performed his skill which transformed into nine separate fists and rained down upon his opponent.
Hadeon's martial skill was not ordinary, as most of his punches were blocked by spinning spear while only two strikes punched his chest and face.
The powerful punch lifted Hadeon off the ground and flung him back, smashing his back against a tall tree. Blood trickled down from the corner of his lips, and a dark purple bruise covered his left eye.
"You comprehended complete Fistforce?" Hadeon gave a shocking look while picking himself back to his feet.
'I just used a Half-step spear intent and he countered me with a complete Fistforce. Why do I feel like he's playing with me?'
