Chapter 42 - Fall of the great

Houston couldn't believe it. How could the kid still move even after receiving that much damage?

Houston just couldn't get it, no one should have been able to move let alone stand and continue to fight yet this teenager was going against all the odds and even now seemed to be planning his next move.

Tyler could feel the splinters on his back as he bled slightly but he ignored the itching pain as his eyes scanned the room for a possible weapon because Tyler himself knew that fighting Houston without any weapon was the same as courting death. His eyes landed on two wooden planks that were broken from the table and quickly picked them up. The planks were rough with sharp broken edges, it wasn't much but to Tyler this would be enough.

Houston had a bitter expression on his face as he fired another bullet from his gun towards Tyler who had anticipated this and already moved to the side. The distance between the two of them was approximately 15ft.

Tyler moved forward and closed half of that distance within a second, Tyler's perception as well as reflexes had improved from all the fighting he had been doing since earlier and only now did he notice this as he could be able to predict where Houston would next try to fire from and would avoid being struck by the bullets. Houston was shocked beyond words as he watched Tyler zigzag his way towards him making it difficult for him to aim his weapon properly. He took several steps back trying to make as much distance between him and Tyler as possible but Tyler wasn't going to.

Tyler was now a few centimeters from Houston who slightly panicked and threw out one of his powerful arms with a devastating punch aiming for Tyler's face.

Tyler ducked under his arm and swung his impromptu weapons at Houston's legs. Houston gritted his teeth as he aimed his gun downwards directly at Tyler's head, seeing this Tyler brought out one of the planks in his hand and wacked the gun away. The gun went flying in air as Houston lost his grip. Tyler stabbed the other plank upwards under Houston's chin with the pointed end.

At first it looked like it would make contact, Houston leaned backwards and it grazed the tip of his nose drawing some blood in the process. Houston saw his life flash before his eyes.

Tyler was on a rampage as something else overcame his rationality but that in itself made him deadly as every attack he made was aimed to kill. He stabbed, swung and thrusted the planks as if they were swords and sharp cutting sounds could be heard in the air. Houston was trying his best to block using his forearms and now his arms had several cuts and deep wounds.

He was bleeding from the side of his head as he had taken several blows, his legs were trembling slightly as his legs had been drained of energy as well. Tyler swung out his plank once more towards Houston's right, Houston quickly reacted by blocking but to his shock it was a faint as the real attack was coming straight to his face.

Before he could react

*phwa*

His nose was bashed in, his teeth came flying out of his mouth as his vision went dark of a second, he saw the room flipping and that's when he realized his body was falling to the ground. Tyler stood looking at Houston's fallen form with sweat dripping down his chin. He would have loved to beat the crap our him some more but even he knew that he couldn't do anything tedious as his body aches all over and his muscles felt like they had been overworked.

The reason he was feeling this was because Tyler had overexerted his body with large amounts of Qi when his body was still not strong enough for large amounts of it and he had also drained all of his Qi which left him with little energy.

Tilting his head to the side he saw his sister still lying on the ground and she wasn't showing any signs of waking up soon which scared him the most.

Taking a step forward Tyler felt every cell in his body protest as a pain he had never felt before shocked his entire system. The pain was too great for him as he fell belly flat to the floor with his hand stretched out to his sister.

'Don't pass out! Not yet!' he tried to scream his brain to stop him from passing out but alas his body did not listen to him as his vision became dark.

Seojun had finished consoling his niece before leaving her with the men that were on the ground floor. He entered the elevator and headed directly for the fifth floor. When he got there Rock and his six men had finished dealing with Houston's punks. The dead bodies had been piled up in the center of the corridor while those that remained alive were tied up in the corner.

"Where is the boy?" Seojun asked after noticing that he wasn't here.

"He went on ahead to Houston's office," Rock replied.

"And you left him to go alone!?" Seojun almost shouted and just then Seojun, Rock and the rest of the men were shocked to see Rodrigo hit the wall in the corridor before passing out as he was practically thrown out. Shortly after, gun shots could be heard followed by the sound of something snapping in half.

Seojun was already off in that direction, Rock following behind him.

Seojun was prepared to make Houston suffer on behalf of himself and the kid but what they saw as they stood in the doorway to the office was unbelievable. Houston and Tyler had fought intensely but then Tyler's Qi started raging, almost as if it was rampaging and going berserk.

Seojun instantly noted this and concluded that Tyler was a type of warrior know as a Berserker.

Berserkers were an evolution of a human being that were strong and got stronger the more the fought. Think of it this way, the more the fought, the more they would learn, adapt and generally change the tide of a battle a good example of this was Napoleon Bonaparte from France who had lead many conquests or even Alexander the Great who also led conquests.

It was only that during this modern era where peace was abundant that they stopped showing they're characteristics but that wasn't the only evolution path of humans though.

Rock and Seojun watched the fight till the very end and finally after Tyler had passed out did Seojun step forward. He squatter next to Tyler and placed his hand on his back before closing his eyes and focusing his some of his Qi into Tyler's body. He did the same with the girl who was lying on the floor unconscious as he could guess that it had to be Tyler's sister.

His men carried both of them carefully to their cars that were parked in front of the construction site before Seojun got in and drove away from the place only this time it was a blazing infernal, some men could be heard screaming in pain as they were burned alive and among those men Houston was also screaming.
