The fight between Gustavo and Amendonin was intense, with each blow from the young man shaking the surroundings. The trees around them were destroyed by the force of their attacks, thick trunks shattering as if they were twigs. Gustavo's energy was at its peak, his giant fists glowing with an almost blinding intensity.
Gustavo (with effort, panting): "I said I wouldn't stop, old man! You're going down here!"
Amendonin, although clearly impressed by the boy's strength, began to show signs of irritation. Every time Gustavo advanced, his blows seemed closer to breaking the criminal's defense.
Amendonin (growling, frustrated): "You... are just a kid! How dare you pressure me like this?!"
Amendonin intensified his attacks, his gusts of air from the axe slicing through the space between them with deadly precision. One of these gusts hit Gustavo from the side, forcing him to retreat a few steps. Even so, Gustavo kept advancing, using all the strength he had left.
Zeki (still observing, thoughtful): "Gustavo is pushing beyond his limit... he needs a plan before his energy is completely exhausted."
Amendonin, noticing that Gustavo's energy was beginning to wane, saw his chance to turn the tide. He roared and launched a devastating attack with his axe, creating an air blast so powerful that it tore away what remained of the trees around and opened a massive crater in the ground.
Gustavo managed to block the attack, but the impact threw him back, his legs sliding on the devastated ground as he tried to stay on his feet. He was panting, and the marks on his fists began to fade, indicating that his ability was reaching its limit.
Gustavo (breathing heavily, angry): "Damn it... I can't stop now...!"
Amendonin (smirking maliciously): "Starting to run out of steam, kid? Looks like the fun is over."
Gustavo gritted his teeth, trying to gather the last of his energy, but he knew he was near the end. He threw another energy punch, but it was clear that the power was no longer the same as before. The attack was easily dodged by Amendonin.
Zeki (finally intervening, calmly): "Gustavo, it's time to retreat. There's no point in continuing like this; you've done enough."
Gustavo (shouting, stubborn): "Shut up... take him down! Just one more punch!"
Zeki (firmly, but without losing his calm): "No, you can't. If you continue, you'll end up seriously hurt. Trust me, Gustavo, your time is up."
Amendonin took a step forward, ready to end the fight, but Gustavo finally gave in to exhaustion, his legs wobbling.
Amendonin (arrogant, with a tone of victory): "Looks like you're not as strong as you thought, kid. That's the difference between a boy and a real warrior."
Gustavo fell to his knees, panting and almost out of energy. Zeki approached, placing a hand on Gustavo's shoulder, helping him to stand.
Zeki (calm, looking at Amendonin): "I'll be your opponent now."
Amendonin laughed, shaking his head, but there was a hint of respect in his gaze.
Amendonin (grumbling): "Let's see what you can do then, pink-haired kid."
Gustavo, even exhausted, managed to give Amendonin a defiant smile as Zeki prepared to take charge of the situation. The fight was still far from over, but now was the time for strategy and caution.
Zeki took a few steps forward, moving away from Gustavo as his cold gaze fixed on Amendonin. The battle was far from over, and now it was his turn to face the leader of the criminals. He showed no emotion as his psychic barrier subtly glowed around his body, a constant manifestation of his protection.
Amendonin (with a mocking smile): "Another kid? This one has pink hair now? You kids are all jokers."
Zeki merely raised an eyebrow, clearly not liking the comment but choosing not to waste time correcting him.
Zeki (calm, with a controlled voice): "My hair is red, but that doesn't matter. What matters is that you underestimated the wrong person."
Amendonin laughed as his armor began to emit a mechanical sound. Several machine guns emerged from the shoulders and arms of the armor, ready to attack.
Amendonin (confident): "Let's see what you've got, kid!"
The machine guns fired in unison, the bullets tearing through the air toward Zeki. But before they could hit him, a translucent psychic barrier formed around him, deflecting the bullets as if they were mere raindrops. Amendonin's expression changed, his smile turning into a scowl.
Zeki (with a provoking tone): "Is that all you've got? I thought it would be a challenge."
Zeki extended his hand, and an invisible psychic field surrounded the machine guns, crushing them with force before throwing them away. Amendonin roared in frustration and attacked with his axe, creating cutting air blasts that swept the area around.
Zeki moved with precision, his psychic barrier absorbing the impact of the attacks as he levitated pieces of trees and rocks around, throwing them at Amendonin with crushing force. The criminal, although clearly powerful, began to feel the pressure.
Amendonin (shouting, furious): "Do you think you can defeat me with child's tricks?
Zeki (coldly, without hesitation): "I'm just getting started."
Suddenly, Zeki activated his psychic orbs, small spheres of energy spinning around him at high speed, ready to be fired at any moment. He then launched a psychic wave at Amendonin, who was forced to use all his strength to block the attack but was pushed back, the ground beneath his feet devastated by the energy.
Amendonin, now feeling the true extent of Zeki's power, activated more enhancements in his armor, intensifying his defense. But despite that, he couldn't advance without being repelled by Zeki's precise and calculated attacks.
Zeki (calmly observing): "Are you starting to understand, Amendonin? Raw strength isn't enough against me."
The fight continued, with Zeki pressing Amendonin with every move. The criminal was getting frustrated, his strategies being dismantled by Zeki one after another. Even with his power to enhance weapons and the arsenal in his armor, he couldn't overcome the young man's psychic ability.
But despite the advantage, Zeki knew that this battle wouldn't be decided so easily. Amendonin still had tricks up his sleeve, and the fight was far from over. Even so, Zeki remained relentless, determined to keep the pressure on and force his opponent to make a mistake.
Zeki (thinking to himself): "As I expected, he's not weak."
As Zeki continued the battle, he kept calm, his mind already calculating the next moves, observing every action of Amendonin, ready to respond with precision and power.
The battle between Zeki and Amendonin was at a critical point. Amendonin, with a confident smile, pulled out a small pill from his armor. Zeki immediately recognized the item, his eyes narrowing as he remembered the pill Chapo had used previously.
Zeki (thinking to himself, concerned): "That pill... it's similar to the one Chapo used. This could be a problem."
Ignoring Zeki's concerned expression, Amendonin put the pill in his mouth and swallowed it. His power seemed to increase instantly, a more powerful aura enveloping him. The force of his attack intensified, and Zeki's psychic barrier began to tremble under the new pressure.
Zeki (calm but with a tone of alert): "I remember that this pill has a side effect, so it's only a matter of time before he falls."
Amendonin advanced, his axe now slicing the air with deadly precision. The air blasts he unleashed were even more intense, and the machine guns in his armor began firing at a frantic pace. Zeki tried to maintain his psychic barrier, but the strength of the attack was breaking his defense.
Zeki (focused, as his barrier began to crack): "I need to adapt quickly."
With difficulty, Zeki used his psychic abilities to create a new barrier, stronger and denser, trying to contain Amendonin's enhanced power. However, even with his shield intensifying, the air blasts and the machine gun fire were managing to breach his defenses in some spots, forcing Zeki to retreat a little.
Amendonin (laughing with satisfaction, watching Zeki struggle): "Is this all you've got, kid? Now that I'm stronger, you don't stand a chance!"
Zeki (thinking, as he fights to stay calm): "I need to find an opening."
The fight continued, with Zeki using all his psychic abilities to try to counterbalance Amendonin's newly gained advantage. Although he wasn't injured or bleeding, the pressure of the combat was increasing, and Zeki knew he needed to be strategic to overcome the new threat.
Amendonin (with an arrogant tone): "You're starting to look desperate, kid. I like that, but you know, I have to give you credit for making me fight so hard!"
Even under pressure, Zeki kept his focus and determination. He knew the battle was far from over, but he needed to find a way to turn the tide and secure victory.
