Starting a new round of strik
Even though they lived in a time when such weapons weren't commonly used, Alex had learned much about pre-gunpowder combat due to his hobby of studying history. He had knowledge and techniques from when humans fought with swords, bows and arrows, spears, and shields, alongside the traini
However, Scar's fighting style was an enigma. Alex couldn't pinpoint his techniques, though they resembled certain Eastern styles.
During the battle, Alex distanced himself from Scar after narrowly avoiding a devastating blow.
Exhausted, Alex scrutinized Scar from head to toe.
Despite showing some signs of fatigue, Scar's condition was far be
Looking at Alex, Scar taunted him. "What's wrong? Already tired? I can keep this up all day."
Responding to Scar's provocation with a question, Alex aimed to catch his breath as much as possible.
"Where do your techniques come from? I don't fully recognize them. They seem Eastern, but I'm not sure which ones!" Alex asked, trying to buy himself more recovery time.
"My techniques?" Scar mocked. "I created them myself. Why, can't you do that? Looks like I overestimated you. But you've rested enough—it's time to end this. Haaah!"
Scar resumed his assault, cutting off Alex's opportunity to recover further.
Dodging narrowly, Alex made a decision. I won't worry anymore about where Scar learned his techniques or whether he actually created them. My life and my tribe are at stake here. All that matters is winning. It seems I have no choice but to use it.
During Scar's movements, Alex pulled a green pill from a small pouch tied to him.
Despite bleeding, Alex realized he had no alternative but to take the drug that would stimulate his blood flow, increasing his strength.
Seeing Alex place the green pill into his mouth, Scar laughed.
"Hahaha, so you really had one of those! If you're so desperate to die, you should've just let me kill you. It would've been quicker and far less painful. Consuming that in your state will undoubtedly lead to your death. Hahaha!"
As the drug's creator, Scar knew its effects and side effects. Stimulating blood flow while Alex was already injured meant he'd bleed out in no time.
"We'll see!" Alex gripped his spear tighter and launched his attack.
