Chapter 24 - FIRST BATTLE.

"Finally, out of that shithole, fresh air of freedom is still best." Delvin said as he successfully escaped out of the tornado without a scratch of damage.

"Don't get happy so fast, I can smell a human from frontside." Goldy said after identifying a particular scent of human beings and warned Delvin.

"Who is there, get out I can see you." Delvin said after hearing a warning from duck and got ready in a battle position for attack.

"Haha haha ha." "Delvin, it's still unbelievable that you are able to survive till this point and emerged out of the tornado without a scratch. No wonder, master David had said to keep guard here for killing you. As for who am I, let me introduce myself properly, my name is Jules and I am the bodyguard of master David, as for you, you can call me grim reaper, since I'll be taking your life now." A person came out from behind the trees, at first Delvin didn't even notice him, he just bluffed so that person could reveal himself. This person has face covered with a black mask, muscular arms and is taller than Delvin, while his chest is covered by a thin black leather armour, moreover he also had a broad axe hanging on his back.

"Grim reaper, you, ha hahaha ha, what kind of donkey shit did you eat as drugs to consider yourself as a grim reaper." Delvin said in a mocking tone. Although this person is going to be the first deadly opponent, that he was going to face in this world, it didn't mean that he would fear it, as he still has the visceral scale armour and shield with him for protection.

"You seem to have a pretty vulgar mouth for a dying person. Do you really think that there is a chance for you to survive in front of a second stage of the 'Visceral realm' when you are still in the early stage of the 'Genesis realm'." Jules said while withdrawing the broad axe, hanging on his back and walked towards Delvin in a casual manner as if he is just going to meet an old friend of his.

He didn't even think about Delvin, a kid with a whole realm below him will be able to make even a scratch of damage on him, and just considered this task as a child's play. But he didn't know that Delvin has already stepped into the visceral realm and is just a level below him, surely he would be regretting of underestimating his opponent later.

"Puny human, I won't be taking part in this battle, as there will be no need for it and I am pretty much injured, so just kill this donkey shit dopehead to show him what a beast king slave's strength, I mean a friend's strength looks like." Duck said and withdrew himself from the battlefield to sit on a branch of the nearest tree after receiving a death glare from Delvin.

'I will now finally be able to understand whether this brat survived just by luck or strength. If he gets defeated now, I'll just kill them both for wasting my time.' The duck thought to himself and observed him carefully, as he thought that no normal person would be able to survive the total annihilation disaster or the calamity.

Delvin stood his ground, watching Jules approach him with a calm expression. He tightened his grip and coated refined qi both on the beast's backbone scale shield, which still had the beast backbone attached to it and used it as grip, and other on the bamboo spear, held in another hand.

As Jules came within striking distance, he swung his broad axe at Delvin, aiming for his head. Delvin quickly raised his shield and blocked the attack, feeling the impact reverberate through his arm.

Jules was stunned by the strength of Delvin's defense as it felt like hitting a stone for him and left his arms numb for a sec, but this second was what Delvin had needed to attack. Delvin quickly thursted his spear coated by refined qi towards Jules, but he being a professional hunter and a bodyguard quickly regained his composure and tried to dodge the incoming attack. Although he managed to dodge and avoided a fatal wound, the bamboo spear still managed to pass through his leather armour and left a deep gash of wound on his chest.

"How did you managed to find a higher levelled beast scale that even with my cultivation I am not able to damage it. Morever how did your cultivation rise enough to hurt me, just how? The deep scar of wound and the high defense beast scale completely angered Jules and began launching a flurry of attacks on Delvin, each one more powerful than the last.

"If you want answers to your questions, why not just kneel down and lick my boots first for forgiveness, then I'll consider answering you." Delvin said while using his shield to deflect the blows, trying to provoke Jules and waiting for an opening to strike back. He knew that he couldn't keep up this defensive stance forever as he was pushed back due to his opponent strength being higher than himself, so he had to find a way to turn the tide of the battle.

Finally, he saw his chance. Jules had overextended himself in a particularly powerful attack, leaving himself open for a counter-attack. Delvin quickly bashed his shield on Jules's face and lunged forward with his spear, striking Jules in the chest and causing him to stumble backwards with a hole which was still a non-fatal one.

Jules was stunned by the force of the blow and a deep wound, but he quickly chanelled his refined qi all over his body and near his gaping wound to stop bleeding and regained his footing and charged back at Delvin.

The two clashed once again, each one unleashing a flurry of attacks, but due to bashing of his shield, he had also lost grip of it while attacking forward which left him only one choice of attacking his enemy with bamboo spear. But how would a bamboo spear fare against a steel axe attack, as a result it got cleaved into two halves with just one attack.

"Hahaha". "Now you don't have anything to defend, just die already." Jules said with heavy breathing as wounds on his body had started to drain his strength rapidly, so he just decided to end this battle with a full power strike of his and started imbuing all his refined qi on his axe.
