Chereads / My Lazy Ass Reincarnated Into a Modern World / Chapter 24 - Fighting My Fears

Chapter 24 - Fighting My Fears

The speed was outrageous even for Donny, his legs redirected towards several directions in that split moment of confusion but moving towards none, I stead his right hand and plunged forward, exuding a green-blue-colored qi from his hand as Ayo approached him.

~swish~

Ayo, swung an upward arc, cutting his hand into the air, from the elbow.

"Ahhhhh!!!" Donny let out a sharp scream and lost his reasoning, his eyes widened as he clasped his other fist, dispelling a large amount of breeze due to the amount of qi he focused on that area...

~wham!~

As he lunged the fist forward in that moment of pain, Ayo, bent backward and slowly watched the punch scale over his face.

[You have used Imbalance Kick(C)lv.17]

From that position his right leg thrust through the air and smashed Donny's face, launching him into the air.

Donny's body toppled to the ground and not giving the moment a rest...

[You have used Godspeed(S)lv.10]

[Skill proficiency has increased]

He reached in Donny, with both hands on the fiend sword, with the tip of the sword coming from behind.

[You have used Hellblaze technique, form 1: Backstripped(D)lv.3]

~wham!!~

~squash~

He swung the sword into Donny's leg, splitting both his legs from its thighs in an instant.

"Ahhhhggggghhhhhh!!!"

Blood splattered out of his knees and immediately Donny began to desperately want to save his life, crawling forward in hurry and trying not to mind the pain, the demeanor of a mafia he had on him before now had been completely brought to ruin in just a few minutes of his encounter with this new version of Ayo.

Large trails of blood were left as Donny, crawled away from Ayo, crying and clenching his teeth in pain.

'How is this possible, I'm a first-rate martial artist... I was completely powerless in front of a kid, that speed, that sword, his moves... I have never seen anything like that in my life.' He said in his thoughts as he kept crawling.

"I think you should be grateful... I will be saving you from the terror that is about to come to the world." Ayo said as he walked up to Donny. He raised the fiend sword with both his hands and the blade facing Donny's back.

~stab~

~squash~

He punched the sword into his back and twisted it. Donny struggled for a little while, profusely vomiting blood as he died.

[You have killed the target]

[You have gained 2,330 exp]

[LEVEL UP!!!]

Ayo brushed his hair up and fell to the ground, "damn, I'm so tired..." he mumbled as he lay on the ground.

Having to go to the tower every time he fell asleep was at first not something to look forward to but something changed, he felt it. Every time he defeated a monster, something was behind added to him, and Phanes would say nothing about it.

Ayo felt himself as pathetic.

Lazy of course.

But in the tower it was different, the sense of accomplishment was out of the ordinary, the kind of confidence it gave to his cowardice self. He couldn't put it into words but he knew for sure that he was changing, although he was still very much a lazy ass human.

"Oh my..." Ayo muttered as he came face to face with the orc chief.

He swallowed his spit and a smug face slowly invaded his expression as he spread his fingers in front of his face.

[Do you have a personality disorder?]

"...I won't say I do... but I had a good reason for not wanting to be surrounded by violence in my past world..."

[So it was not that you fear death]

"You asked me to fight my fear... and that is exactly what I'm doing right now" Ayo replied to the system as the fiend sword appeared, on one hand, a green-colored katana blade on the other hand. He flung both swords toward his back, closed his eyes, and exhaled.

[Using Breathe Of Life]

[You have detected an incoming attack]

[Pathway is visible]

The orc chief lowered itself and rushed at Ayo, crushing the ground with every step as it got closer...

~whoosh~

Ayo's body twisted into the air and over the orc chief's head, as he came down...

[You have used Full Counter(C)lv.34]

~slaaash~

He slide down with the two swords tearing down the Orc's back and jumped away as he landed, squinting his eyes as the Orc turned immediately and rushed towards him.

"Too shallow..." He mumbled as he dashed forward.

[You have used Godspeed(S)lv.22]

[You have used up your A.P]

[Skill has been deactivated]

"Fuck you phanes," Ayo said as his speed abruptly reduced and the Orc's massive fist dived into his face, sending him on a short flight and a long tumbling moment. His body crushed the bamboo-made structures and they crumbled upon him.

~thud~

~thud~

With heavy steps, the Orc chief came closer to him and clenched both fists.

Ayo rummaged his way out of the bamboo and smiled at the Orc chief, "I killed all your tribe men... you must be very angry." He said and completely brought himself out. And walked towards the Orc.

"Phanes, 100 points to strength"

[Strength stat has increased by 100 stat points > 125]

The Orc glared down at him, panting angrily, its red eyes fiercely burning with hostility in his eyes.

Ayo grinning crazily, looked up at the Orc, the height distance between the two was much, Ayo only reached his chest but his guts were taller than the Orc's height.

"Did I mention, this is not my first time dealing with inhumane creatures... I know how much you want to kill me right now."

[Have you fought an orc before?]

'No, nothing like these... but I have fought goblins before...' He responded in his mind but his attention was on the Orc.

"ARRRGGGGHHH!!"

The Orc shouted and slammed both hands down on him...

~Wham~

The collision of both their fist as Ayo caught the Orc chief's large hand expelled a massive air blast around them but with the force and pressure being more on Ayo, his sturdy legs were holding on well but the ground was not.
