BOOM!
'Damn!... didn't expect the woman to attack immediately' I cursed, dashing between the trees and avoiding the teacher's attacks. This Harper woman was stronger and faster than me. But her fists were the real problem.
My left legs were obliterated from existence when her fist connected with my side. It's not that my legs got ripped or smashed, no! They simply got deleted. Like BOOF! Gone forever.
'I guess this is her magic?!' I wondered, dodging another punch, but with my massive size, it was a challenge.
"AGAAHHH!" The woman unleashed a mighty roar, as her hands started to glow, and then the next thing I knew she was yet again inches away from me.
"I won't fall for the same trick again" I declared, my eight red eyes locked on hers.
"!!!" The teacher was aiming for my left side since it was vulnerable and injured from her previous punch, however, what she failed to know was that I possess a regeneration skill.
SLICE!
In less than two minutes two of my left bladed-legs were healed and with them I sliced through her thigh, sending her flying.
"AHHHHHH!" the teacher let out a loud scream of pain, falling down to the ground and losing her focus for a second.
'Good she's still alive' I thought, letting out a sigh of relief. 'I promise I won't kill them, but a little injury is necessary.'
'Hmm?' I stopped my eight eyes focusing on this woman as she took a fighting stance, 'Is it me, or is her stance a little off?'
Yes, her stance was wrong. I could see that as clear as day. Another confirmation that I was a warrior and possibly a teacher in my past life to be able to identify such a tiny detail.
"AGHH!" The woman rushed to me in an attempt to land another punch, however, the tiny mistakes of her stance were devastating. For others, they may never notice them or know how to take advantage of them, but for me, it was a totally different story.
Her stance mistakes? Simple if you think about them but they could end her life if she didn't fix them. This woman Harper pulls back her arm in a straight line further than it should be, and when she punches, she raises her elbow slightly. But the biggest mistake was her foot. She places too much pressure on her toes and raises her hoof higher than normal.
See? Not big mistakes, but I could use them.
"WHAT!" Harper exclaimed in shock as she lost her balance. I pulled her leg using the threads that I already had placed on her while she was attacking me.
"Take this!" I growled, slamming her midsection with the back of my bladed-leg, sending her flying into the air.
"AGHHH!" Harper shouted in pain, flying towards the trees. However, before she hit them I pulled her back using my web. I didn't want to kill her.
"AGHH!" She let out another cry as she slammed face-first into the ground.
'Now time to finish this' I thought, pulling her toward me.
"Ughh" Harper groaned, pushing herself up and facing me. I was almost two meters away from her, I didn't want to be close. She could punch with her fists at an amazing speed. I won't be able to dodge it up close.
"You... monster" she spat blood from her mouth, staring at me with hate. "I'll kill YOU!"
SLAP!
"Fix your stupid stance first, then talk about killing me," I shouted, jumping behind her and slapping the back of her head with my leg. I didn't know why I did that. I mean, I could have sliced her with my leg, but I wanted to slap her. It felt like the right thing to do.
"Eh?" The woman's reaction was not what I was expecting. She froze, staring at me with wide eyes as if she had seen a ghost.
"S-Sensei?" she asked, and I could hear shock, disbelief, and a hint of happiness in her voice.
"Huh?" I blinked, giving her a confused look. 'Did she call me sensei?'
"T-That slap... the tone" she trailed off, then, out of nowhere, a massive burst of energy erupted from her body. "YOU FUCKING MONSTER!"
"!!!" I instantly jumped back creating some distance. The energy that came from her was extremely dangerous. Everything around the woman in a three-meter radius circle simply vanished. The trees, the rocks, the ground – it was as if a giant hole had been created.
"What the hell was that!" I shouted, looking in horror at the destruction she had caused.
"You monster!... you monster!... you monster!" Harper repeated, her tone was mad, her body was shaking and her eyes were crazy. "HOW DARE YOU TRY TO DECEIVE ME THIS WAY!"
"DIE!" she suddenly rushed at me with insane speed, I didn't even see her move.
"SHIT!" I cursed, moving to the left and avoiding her attack. However, that punch she released didn't just have insane speed and power, it also carried that same deleting power.
BOOM!
The tree I was next to just moments ago disappeared into dust.
'Shit...This is bad' I thought, watching the woman rushing at me again, 'If I let her get too close, I'll be the one that dies'
"A FUCKING MONSTER LIKE YOU PRETENDS TO BE MY MASTER!" she roared, her fist glowing with that deleting power. "I'LL SKIN YOU ALIVE!"
"DIE!!"
"Like hell, I will!" I shouted, sending a bubble of acid at her.
"Weak!" Harper said, slapping the bubble of acid with the back of her hand, destroying it instantly. "I'LL KILL YOU!"
"Fool!" I grinned, watching her shocked face as another bubble of acid splashed into her face. I shot this one right after the first, hiding it behind it.
"AAAHHHHHH!" Harper let out a painful cry, her hands rushing to her face and trying to get rid of the acid.
'Now is my chance' I thought, jumping over her and using her head as a stepping stone. Then I quickly turned around trying to pierce her neck with my fangs, hoping to paralyze her with my venom, however.
CLING!
Her skin was tough as steel, it was like a thin layer of armor. My fangs were not enough to pierce her neck.
'Damn!.. this is too hard Nana-chan' I cursed, trying to tie her with my threads. 'How can I win without attacking with killing intent?'
"You bitch!" Harper cursed, her right fist began to glow with bright blue light as she prepared to throw her punch at me.
'This woman is blinded by rage' I thought, watching her move. She was making more mistakes, even amateur ones. 'I can dodge this with ease'
"DIE!" Harper growled, punching the air with all of her strength, and unlike the previous ones, this punch unleashed a giant beam of energy right at me, destroying everything in its way.
"Nice try" I grinned, shooting a web at a tall tree to my right, pulling myself from the beam's way, evading getting blasted to oblivion. However...
"Miss Harper, where are you?"
"!!!" Someone suddenly appeared from behind a tree, right in the way of the beam.
"NOOOOO!" I cried, recognizing the person, and with no second thought I twisted my body mid-air, using everything I had to jump in front of her
"JANE!" Harper exclaimed, her eyes wide in shock and disbelief as she saw her student standing in the way of her beam, and she could do nothing to save her.
BOOM!
The explosion was massive and the heat was intense. The whole area literally just blew up.
"JANEEEEEE!" she screamed in horror, at what her magic caused, turning the person that she loved like a daughter into nothing.
"Ohh... Oh god... oh god" Harper's face paled, her legs lost their strength and she fell down to her knees, tears started to stream down her face as she started to mumble. "I killed her... I killed her..."
Or so she thought.
Crack!
"Huh?" Harper looked up, her eyes searching for the source of the sound. "What's that?"
Right in the center of the explosion was a massive white cocoon, although half of the cocoon was gone, Harper didn't care about any of that. Her focus was on the black spider and the little blond girl inside it.
"JANE!" Harper cried, rushing to her student, but she stopped at her track gazing at me.
"D-Don't you dare....cough... make a move" I growled, staring at her with my eight eyes. "Cough! cough!... one... cough!.. step and I'll... Cough!... kill her"
I had no intention to do so, however, I needed to buy some time. Half of my body was destroyed, and I needed time for my regeneration to heal me.
"Huh?" I felt something touching my face, and when I looked down I saw the little girl Jane staring at me with those blue eyes, her gaze gave me a strange feeling that I couldn't explain.
"Grandma is that you?"
