Chapter 52 - Victory

As Brandyn ran forwards, the man slugged forward one of his gauntlets and he managed to land a hit on Brandyn's liver. All that he got in reaction was a smirk from the archdemon as he stared him down with his sinister purple eyes.

Once he came close, he utilised his Lucifer Strike Skill and landed this superpowered hit right on the ginger man's head. With his punch amplified with a 2x multiplication, the attacker slammed into the wall behind him with a bloody nose.

The amount of force that he seemed to have been able to output with this single attack startled him. Also, fear started to build but once he realised, he was scared of a mere child, this growing emotion shifted to anger. Electricity crackled across his right gauntlet and parts of the suit started to glow. Once this glow had reached its full brightness, he swung for a finisher strike.

However, Brandyn was able to swerve past this attack and as he did so, he sliced down an open part of his arm with his Rejuvenating Slash Skill. All the HP that he had lost from the current conflict had been returned to him at the expense of his enemy's stamina.

"Die already!" He exclaimed, throwing his other gauntlet forward in a shear desperation.

As the gauntlet came close to Brandyn, he ducked under it with the technique of a professional boxer and remained totally unharmed. As his fist was out and away from his body, Brandyn threw two technical hooks, one to the body then one to the head.

The burly warrior slowly started to fall back from these strikes and before he could he even get back to his feet, Brandyn took advantage of this. Like a raging bull, he grabbed his opponent by his grey shirt then shoved him forwards with intense ferocity.

*BAM*

The brick wall behind him quivered under this force and so did the man. He latched onto Brandyn's outreached arms to try and release himself from huis grasp but every time that he tried, he was unsuccessful. It was almost as if he was trying to move a statue, and even his exoskeleton made it difficult for him to move him. However, he was able to slowly pull himself free but all this time that he had wasted gave Brandyn just enough time to plan his next assault.

Proceeding with his combination, he landed a left hook straight at the man's solar plexus and this slammed him into the brick wall once again. While he ricocheted off the wall, Brandyn swivelled up into the air and snapped his leg across the air as if it was a whip. Finally, it most certainly felt like a whip for the man. His ear started to ring as if it was a bell and his vision started to sway.

Across the alleyway from him, his accomplice was certainly in a predicament. Against the wall, he aimed his weapon ahead and fired but the pellet was, once again, too slow to land on the target. He predicted his click and managed to dip and duck out of the way.

As he did this, he lashed out with a haymaker to the face that launched the man across the alleyway. He ended up slamming into the brick wall opposite from him and the punch felt as if he had been hit in the face with a boulder. Before he could even begin to recollect himself, he was smashed in the face again with another punch.

In fear of getting hit again, he managed to jump out of the way with the use of his exoskeleton. He leaped up to the wall then jumped off it to secure some significant distance between him and his opponent. Once he landed, he jumped up to the other wall to launch himself off it.

The two fighters charged in at one another and the masked man managed to get the advantage with a quick punch to the face. However, the man was not that affected at all.

"You think you can take me down with hits like that! All your strength comes from a machine, allow me to show you true and authentic strength!" He exclaimed proudly, flexing his oversized muscles.

*GROWL*

The large ape-like warrior approached his enemy swiftly and, even with his size, his speed was impressive. Swinging his body anti-clockwise, he threw forward his right fist in the form of a right uppercut then came over with a left hook to the chin.

This second attack was just what he needed and the man with the mask fell to his hands and knees.

Blood slowly dripped from his mask as it was soaked in it. Even with the amplification of his exoskeleton, it proved futile in trying to take superpowered punches to the head.

"He's down already?!" Brandyn said as he turned to his accomplice.

Brandyn's enemy was now barely fighting. His technique was sloppy, and his footwork was sluggish and slow. Brandyn, on the other hand, looked as good as ever. He had only sustained minor bruises, which faded in minutes. Standing over his weakened opponent, Brandyn used his bolt skill to finish him off and he sure did as the bolt stabbed right into his chest.

*whoosh*

With the first enemy down for the count, Brandyn switched to the remaining battle and charged ahead with the intention of blocking his accomplice from any further attacks.

His speed was more than impressive, and his heavy stomps caught the attention of the ape-like fighter. The burly warrior's speed was more than impressive but it wasn't enough to handle the shear force and agility of the archdemon.

He swooped into the battle like an eagle, stopping the man dead in his tracks. Seeing this short kid come up to him, his opponent was not fearful at all. However, his mind suddenly came up with a thought. How could he be interjecting his fight if his ally hadn't been defeated. Giving the alleyway a quick side-eye, he saw his comrade on the brick wall, covered in his own blood. There was also a small crackle of dark electricity over his open, gory wound.
