Punch after punch after punch, Katsuya's body was rapidly struck by heavy fists. Once the attacks came to a stop, his body had been smashed within the rubble and his body was utterly bloody. His arms were broken in multiple places, twisted into a mess.
The wolf-fanged man grinned at the site of Katsuya's brutally-beaten state. But he grew bored after staring for too long and began walking off, searching for more lives to end in the name of his soul's will.
A strong stomp came
Crackle..Crackle..Crackle. Snap!
The wolf-fanged man looked back, and saw the sight of Katsuya, whose arms were snapping back into place.
Snap! Crack...Crackle...Snap!
His arms were back to normal, fully regenerated. The wolf-fanged man became impressed by this, someone who could still stand after receiving so many injuries was worthy of praise.
"You are still standing, huh. Really amazing how you're not dead. I knew you were something when your body wasn't ripped apart by my punches."
A stream of blood fell down Katsuya's face while he wore a fatigued expression.
"..."
"No response? After I gave you all that praise, you stay quiet. Now I'll really show you pain." The Wolf-fanged man replied.
"I don't need praise from someone who's going to be killed by me."
"I'll be killed? By you? Then let's see it!"
A hundred strikes slamed into the man's body, all in a single second.
Slam! Slam! Slam! Slam!
And he still stood unharmed.
Katsuya continued to rapidly strike him for the next 5 seconds. A total of 600 strikes had been bashed dinto the Wolf-fanged man's body. Like before, he was unarmed with not even a scratch.
"See? I didn't think you were capable of harming me."
The man grabbed Katsuya's arm and tossed him into the air.
[Warning: Current Enemy Is Too Strong]
[Suggested Action: Retreat]
Katsuya fell back down, crashing into the rubble.
Slam!
'Run?....As if! I don't care how strong he is. I'll just crush him with everything I have.'
He jumped back on balance, taking a fighting stance.
['Attack Double' Set Active]
['Attack Triple' Set Active]
['Claws' Set Active]
['Brawler' Set Active]
['Speed Boost' Set Active]
['Double Speed' Set Active]
Katsuya's body was overflowing with destructive energy as he sprinted at The Wolf-Fanged man.
Even when faced with 340 different strikes, the man remained unmoved and wore a wide smirk.
In the end, Katsuya was no match. Even with the help of Sora, Katsuya was left lying on the ground with a devastating hole in his chest, bleeding out.
Before the Wolf-Fanged man left, he spoke to the dying dark-haired boy.
"Oh, and just so you know who killed you, my name is Calion."
This was the last thing Katsuya's eardrums heard before passing out.
It was a never ending darkness as his mind replayed memorable moments through his life. It was like he could feel his soul being lifted, towards the after life.
Most soundaround him had faded, but one noticeable voice was loud enough to hear.
"Katsuya?! Are you okay?!"
Katsuya regained his consciousness and opened his eyes, gasping for air. That Wolf-Fanged man was nowhere in sight. The only person there was Harley, who held and comforted him.
"It's okay. Take your time."
Seconds and seconds of panting, Katsuya was finally able to speak.
"The rest of the city...Is it okay?"
Harley's expression wasn't so happy when she had to reply.
"It's..It's questionable. There's been a lot of destruction and the entire force of adventurers has their hands full with the enemies in each area."
Katsuya sprung to his feet, clenching his fist as he saw the scene afar. There were still a good number of structures still standing, but there also lots of places in ruins. The death count had to be at least in the hundreds.
He was worried about Jill's safety in all the chaos, but he could sense that she hadn't taken any damage recently, so she was fine for now.
"If you can still fight, the Guild could use your help." said Harley.
Katsuya had already recovered from the injuries he had, so fighting wasn't an issue. The only problem was that he didn't know which areas were facing threats. He most likely had to go to the guild in person to find out, that's if it hadn't been destroyed yet.
"Yeah. But I guess I'll have to head to the guild to see exactly what's going on."
"There are lots of issues right now, so that's probably the best choice. I'll go along with you and help with what I can."
If it were any other situation, Katsuya would've declined her offer. But seeing how strong that Wolf-fanged man was, the other enemies are probably powerful too. Katsuya was going to need all the help he could get.
"Thanks. I might need to count on your strength."
