Before David could react, the alien darted forward with incredible speed, its large hand raised and poised to strike. David's body moved almost on its own, tilting sideways at the last moment, causing the alien's blow to miss. In his mind, a cold, mechanical voice from the Body Control System sounded, giving swift instructions.
[Activating Defense Mode. Analyzing enemy attack pattern... Evasion optimal.]
As if propelled by an invisible force, David moved with perfect precision, evading every onslaught unleashed by the alien. The alien's punches and kicks came rapidly, hard and lethal, yet David's body always shifted inches away from each strike, dancing with a speed and grace he had never known.
As the alien attempted a strike from above, David automatically crouched, slid beneath, and rolled, then stood behind the alien. It felt as if his body was no longer his own; every move appeared coordinated by the system within him. David's mind focused solely on defense, and his body responded in a manner far more effective than he had imagined.
[Defense Mode Successful. Activating Attack Mode.]
The cold voice echoed in his mind once more. In an instant, David felt a surge of power in his muscles, energy coursing through his limbs, ready to be unleashed. The alien raised its hand to strike again, but this time David's body reacted faster, moving forward with swift steps and delivering a powerful punch to the alien's chest.
The punch struck the alien with surprising force, making it stagger back a few steps. The alien seemed stunned, not expecting a mere human to possess such strength. Without pausing, David surged forward, this time directing a swift kick towards the alien's head. The kick was swift, precise, and forceful, nearly causing the alien to stumble.
The alien groaned in pain, its eyes glowing red. Quickly, it retaliated with an energy attack unleashed from its hands. Glowing energy orbs flew fast towards David, momentarily threatening him. But before he could think, his body turned to the side, evading the energy orbs with agile and efficient movements.
[Activating Evasive Mode. Maximizing evasion.]
David's body continued to move as directed by the system, dodging the alien's relentless energy attacks. Every energy sphere released by the alien seemed avoidable with high precision, fueling the alien's frustration. David began to feel a stronger sense of control, as if he and the system within his body were working in harmony.
In a brief moment, the system in his mind gave an instruction.
[Enemy's weakness identified. Direct attack to vital point: left side of enemy's chest.]
David darted forward with swift movements, delivering a punch with full force to the designated spot. His blow landed on the alien's left chest precisely at the vital point. The alien groaned in pain, its eyes wide, body jerking backward. In that moment, David no longer hesitated. He felt an incredible surge of power flowing through every fiber of his muscles, and with a quick spin, he unleashed a strong kick to the alien's face, sending it flying backward.
The alien staggered, and it was evident that its strength was waning.
"I will return! This is not over!" the alien roared in anger.
With a flash of light, the alien vanished, disappearing into another dimension, leaving David standing there, still breathing heavily. As the alien vanished, the calm voice in his mind resurfaced.
[Battle concluded. Host's power stable.]
David lowered his hands, feeling the adrenaline slowly ebb from his body. He realized the tremendous power he now possessed. His body felt lighter, stronger, and under control.
