Chapter 27 - He's Defea— Phase 2!?

Eyes shrinking, Subaru dodged to his left. Missing his punch, Mochi's eyes glowed. Chuckling, he taunted at Subaru, "Well, well, well, like father, like son. Seems you both inherited that stupid sense for battle. Though in his case, it ended rather...miserably at that."

Hearing about his parents, Subaru's eyes grew wide upon realising that this fat bastard was one of the people responsible for his parents disappearance. Enraged, he does not dodge the next punch, taking it head on. Upon Mochi landing his fist on his hlchest, Subaru grabbed it, holding it in place.

Swinging his arm right back, he laid a solid punch to Mochi's head, causing him to be disorientated. Seeimg blood spilling from his forehead, it filled Subaru's heart with satisfaction, quenching his burning fury at him, though slight.

Unexpectedly, Mochi merely shrugged it off. Cracking his arms, shoulders and knees, he squatted, before launching himself across the room, straight to Subaru's face. Hands raided up, he struck down with a solid piledrive.

Crossing his arms in defense, the impact, though merely giving him slight concussion, pushed him straight into the ground. Surprised at the lack of wounds, Mochi leaped to safety, eyes squinting. Hmm, damn thing is keeping that little runt safe. Better find out how to open that tin can...

While in contemplation, a large shadow fell on his face. But by then, it was too late.

Mochi could only watch in despair as the second piledrive of the day landed straight on his face, crushing it to a pulp. Anger receeding, Subaru quickly stepped back, trying to see if Mochi was still alive.

After a brief five minutes, seeing no movement, Subaru let out a sigh of relief. Mom, dad, I di-

Boom!

Relying solely on instinct, Subaru ducked down, barely dodging the energy blast.

"Hmm? Managed to dodge? Doesn't matter, I'll get you anyways..."

Hearing that dreaded voice of his parents' killer, he stood in shock.

B-but how!? I swear I crushed his neck...

Cracking hisnhead, a lean, muscular man emerged from the dust, his shiny hair flowing in the air. "Tch, seems like i need to get serious after all. Congrats kid, you're one of the rare few who have managed to provoke me enough to witness my ascension. But now you gotta die."

Just then, with inhuman speed, Mochi seemingly teleported to Subaru, giving him a roundhouse to his face. Although dodging it at the last moment, Subaru still suffered from whiplash.

"Ahahaha! This is so much fun! But damn it, it runs through my father reserves way too quickly." Laughing as he attacked Subaru, Mochi exclaims in delight.

Barely guarding, Subaru asks him in disbelief, "If you're so strong, why are you a gang leader?"

Atop this unexpected question, Mochi merely glanced, still continuing his assault on Subaru, "Tch. If it weren't for those old fools at the Grand Shaolin Temple, I would've been reveling in money, booze and ladies. But noooo! They kept preaching that we must use them for the good of the people. So that's why killed half of them, tearing them from limb from limb, just like I'll do it to you!"

With that, Mochi lunged straight to him, Subaru still reeling.
