The demons started to ease their anger and realized what he was doing. He threw Asag's weapon in the air for attempted suicide. For him to activate his Guardian Mode after claiming his lack of mastery as a Champion.
It happened way too quickly. Liam went unconscious and triggered his Guardian Mode. War paint started spreading throughout his body regenerating his wound and destroying the effects.
Reacting to his attack; he threw Asag's weapon towards the demons. Distracting them and closing the distance.
Asag was the only demon who reacted by catching his weapon until the trio was swept off their feet by Liam's devastating leg kicks as he was going for the kill. Jiang dived and shoulder-throwed Liam as he countered the technique with a safety roll.
Jiang didn't have time to react as Liam shortened the gap. He was taken back from how fast he closed the distance until he threw a ghostly jab. The stinging sensation. A very annoying feeling that can't be ignored as Liam increases the intensity of the burning pain.
He finds it hard to block the jab. Liam was holding huge variations of them. Picking different types of attacks for the right purpose.
Unexpectedly, Liam hand trapped and pulled his guard down. Jiang quickly reacts to his attack and creates distance between them.
"Hand traps, huh?"
"Keep going at him. You're more specialized in close combat than I am."
"You don't need to tell me twice." Jiang rushed towards his opponent but his phantom attack kept him away at bay. He ducked under and was met by an uppercut and dodging his sword attack. Losing his balance and tumbling away, Asag joined the fight.
However, his jabs were not the same. Liam is not the same person. Asag was met with blazing attacks and never had a chance to throw a counterattack.
"MOVE!" Jiang shouted, charging towards him. He threw two straight punches, evenly matching his strikes. Jiang pulled down his arm and threw a right roundhouse kick. Hitting him effectively and was met by the same move from Liam.
The demon from the east was not surprised by this as the roundhouse kick was common among martial arts.
'However, I'm going to show you the difference between yours and mine!' Jiang's mastery of the roundhouse was significant for Liam and able to push him back and eat it a bunch of times. Then, Liam caught it and was about to chop his leg off.
Jiang smiled and sweep-punched him. He started to take his word back about Liam as he was about to set up a roundhouse kick despite the experiences Jiang foresaw. He's going to show the difference between defending it and counterattacking to finish the fight. That's what he thought as he was struck by his kick.
"Urk!" It was the same burning pain, but twice the effect. It wasn't a traditional roundhouse. It was different despite its looks. It's a speedy variant. Too fast for him to react. Liam did it again. Matching the amount of kicks Jiang had thrown at him before.
Jiang was able to get a small glimpse of it. The roundhouse was thrown as a front kick but snapped to the side like a roundhouse. Liam threw a jab and then a different variant of the roundhouse. It wasn't the burning sensation Jiang was feeling. It was a throbbing pain. Liam threw a roundhouse from a forty-five-degree angle and sent Jiang flying into a building.
"You little..." Asag charged in and was stopped by Liam's rear leg kick. Liam did it again but it was a distraction, followed by a roundhouse. A question mark kick. Pummeling Asag to wear him out.
Jiang struck him with a flying dragon kick and went after him. Liam telegraphed his roundhouse but faked it into a front kick. Uppercut. Jiang parried his stab and Liam hit him with a rolling thunder kick then knocked him with Chapeu de Couro (Leather hat). Followed by Meia Lua de Frente (Half moon in front).
Jiang twirled and was slammed to the ground as his body shook from the force.
"W-What...was th-that?" Liam's unorthodox style is getting further and further away from traditions. A style so anomalous is a frightening sign to let them know he's ahead of their time. Not only does he possess unreadable punches with variations, but a whole armory of his kicks.
Jiang knew this young man was going to be a problem. Knowing that he doesn't waste his energy with simply blunt attacks and sets them up for a devastating finisher. And yet, he's smart as he displayed the attempted suicide to switch his Guardian Mode on without a second thought.
This is combined with a reverse grip that's not suitable for swords, especially since his weird sword design is not traditional.
Asag charged in and Liam cut angles. Digging deep into his bubble of space and turning his attention to his back. Delivering a hook to the gap between the shoulder blade and the spin.
Asag hollered an agony howl as both demons widened their eyes. Liam found the demons' weak spot. Devils were once Angels. Both possessed wings with the shoulder joint between the scapula and the spine, which is vulnerable to blunt attacks. Demons shared the characteristics of the Devils. After all, demons are devils' creations.
They both watched Asag rolling on the ground, trying to hold his back while having trouble breathing. Liam slowly walked up to him and was about to finish him off.
Jiang charged in and got his attention as he stuck his right leg out from the side. Grabbing his robe and then putting him in a straight-foot choke. He gasped for air and tried to claw his foot, but Liam wrapped his leg around his neck with his arm in the trap. Choking him out.
Liam turned his attention to Asag and Asag blocked his stab with his weapon. Struggling to manifest his strength as he was fighting two opponents. The pain was winning over his body while his will was fighting back.
The young Champion leaned his upper body. Forcing the weight and applying more strength to wear him out, so he can deliver the final blow. Asag gritted his teeth with his arms shaking. Calypso wrapped her whip around Liam's upper body and tried to pull him away from the two demons.
"Calypso, hurry! Pull him away! HE'S KILLING US TWO BIRDS WITH ONE STONE!" Asag screamed.
"I-I'm...trying..."
Jiang couldn't do anything as he was off balance and couldn't throw any kicks due to lack of oxygen and position. Liam pulled his arm further and bit down his hand while pulling his leg towards him. Cutting off his arteries and making the choke tighter.
Calypso drops her weapon and rushes towards them. At the same time, Jiang sacrifices his position and attempts to kick him in the crotch.
Liam tornado-kicked him to Calypso and did another spin to grab Asag before tossing over to them. With that extra spin, he did a cheat 900 sidekick to them. Denting Asag's arms from blocking it with the force travel through them and burst out from Calypso's nightgown from the back at the center. Flying away from the kick. Liam chucks his sword at them in the path as it follows.
The trio crashed into a building and didn't have time to recover as the sword inched closer to them until Colainn showed up by deflecting the sword right in front of them.
