Chapter 28 - The Playful Eagle 24: Versus The Eagles! Part 15

I started to slowly get up, still scratching my head intensely while having trouble breathing. The Voices wouldn't stop, the vision of the blood and the fire, the high pitched screaming continued as well. I could feel how I was heating up, but how?

"STOP IT!" I screamed while still scratching my head.

"This… This can't be!" Karl said from behind the pillars.

Ludwig was standing beside one of the opposite pillars while I was in the center of the building. I could hear a huge thud, it was from Ludwig.

"I KNEW THERE WAS SOMETHING MORE TO THIS STORY!" Ludwig screamed irritatedly.

"JIWOO IS HAVING A VISION! BUT HOW?!" Karl proceeded.

I tried to lift up my head and slowly stand up, looking towards Ludwig.

"The rising spiritual pressure, the mentioning of a different world and voices.. There is no doubt about it, Jiwoo has some sort of bloodline related vision!" Karl kept talking.

"I KNEW IT!" Ludwig shouted again while slowly walking towards me.

"THERE IS NO WAY SOMEONE LIKE THIS CAN HANDLE SO MUCH SPIRITUAL PRESSURE!" he kept talking.

"You.." I said quietly.

"IT'S IMPOSSIBLE! IMPOSSIBLE, IMPOSSIBLE, IMPOSSIBLE!" he repeated out of anger.

He came close to me and went in for a kick, but I was too quick for him. Out of pure surprise I could hear a faint "..what?!" from him.

I bent down and swept him down with my leg, he fell down but quickly got up before I could get in another hit on him.

"H-How are you on par with.. me?!" Ludwig asked.

I went in for another punch, it was faster than he expected, I hit him on the right side of his face.

"JIWOO!! YOU HAVE THIS!" Karl shouted from a far.

Ludwig was laying on the ground, but I could still feel his spiritual pressure stinging me.

"I know even with how I am now, I can't beat you.." I said.

Ludwig laughed. His small laughter became hysterical.

"So that's why I have to go above and beyond.. To beat your ass!" I said.

He stopped out of nowhere.

"I'll have to increase my power.." I said.

"..TO TIMES TEN!!!" I screamed with all I had and released all of the energy I had inside of me!

"W-WHAT IS THIS POWER?!" Ludwig screamed.

I quickly leaped towards him and kicked him on his face, I made him fly to the other side of the building. By the time he got up I was already in front of him, as I tried to land a punch on him he quickly dodged and kicked my knee. I fell to the ground, it was a powerful kick!

"You're quick, but not enough!" Ludwig said and stood up in front of me.

I tried to stand up, but he grabbed me by my shirt with his claws.

"LET'S SEE IF ALL THAT SCREAMING WAS WORTH IT!!" he shouted and threw me away, I hit a pillar on my back.

He started to fly towards me, just as he was going in to attack with his beak I kicked upwards, hitting his jaw.

"We're.. equally as.. fast" I said while trying to breathe.

After I said that I could see how he became more and more frustrated. He opened up his wings and looked upwards, I was still on the ground.

"THEN LET ME SEE YOU CATCH UP TO THIS!" he screamed and flew up towards the ceiling.

I slowly started to get up while still having an eye on him and trying to have a guard up. He's fast, it was easy to see him. Then, suddenly, he disappeared!

"W-What?!" I said to myself.

I could still hear him, I could hear the wind and his wings, but visually he wasn't there!

"HA HA HA! IS IT HARD ALREADY?!" his voice echoed throughout the building.

Sh-Shit! I can't keep up with him! I can't even see a small glimpse of him! I could feel how much I was already sweating just by this! I could feel him attacking me, they were quick and sharp attacks.

"Jiwoo! You have to focus!!" Karl shouted.

I started to get scared.. What if.. What if I can't beat this guy? I came such a long way to get beaten up? He kept attacking me, the attacks became sharper and sharper. I could feel how the moment started to get intense, the attack became heavier making me almost fall to the ground!

One after another, he was getting faster and faster! I could hear how his laughter was echoing throughout the building whilst attacking me, this guy.. He's mocking me!

"WHAT DO YOU SAY JIWOO?!" his voice echoed and his attacks got faster and sharper.

"CAN YOU HANDLE..?!" he continued and attacked more frequently, I was slowly losing my balance and becoming weaker.

"..THIS POWER!!!" he screamed and got a final blow on me that made me fly away.

I hit another pillar on my back and fell down to the ground on my stomach. From the corner of my eye I could see the giant Eagle standing still and looking at me from far away. I.. I have failed.

"Him? You believed in him Karl?" Ludwig said and laughed.

Karl didn't answer him.. He knows I failed too, he didn't believe in me. Maybe I'm-

"JIWOO!!" someone shouted.

The battle ground became silent, I could only hear the same voice. It started to become more familiar, the voice, it's.. YONG!!
