Punnu stood up, determined to protect Aman and face the old man and his thugs. His body ached from the impact of the old man's wave punch, but his resolve remained unshaken. With the flying cat by his side, Punnu prepared to use all of his abilities to fight against the enemies.
The thug with water manipulation powers stepped forward first. He conjured a stream of water to douse Punnu's attacks. But Punnu was quick to react. He summoned the power of his wind blade, feeling the energy surge through him. The blade cut through the water, disrupting the thug's control over the element.
Seeing an opening, Punnu charged at the water manipulation thug with his sword. He swung the blade with precision, managing to land a deep cut on the thug's arm. The thug cried out in pain, clutching his wounded limb as water splashed around them. But the thug wasn't done yet. With his remaining strength, he conjured another stream of water and directed it at Punnu's legs.
The force of the water knocked Punnu off balance, and he fell to the ground. His leg throbbed in pain from the impact, but he knew he had to keep fighting. Determined to protect Aman, Punnu activated his hardened exoskeleton ability, forming a protective layer around his body. This allowed him to absorb the shock and reduce the pain.
With enhanced senses, Punnu could detect the movements of the water manipulation thug. He used his rapid movement ability to quickly get back on his feet, dodging another water attack. Punnu then activated his absorbing talents ability, drawing strength from the surrounding environment and boosting his energy.
With fierce resolve, Punnu launched another attack at the water manipulation thug. This time, he managed to cut off the thug's hand. The thug screamed in agony, collapsing to the ground in pain.
The thug with enhanced speed saw his comrade fall and charged at Punnu with blinding swiftness. He landed a series of quick strikes on Punnu, each blow leaving him more bruised and battered. Despite the pain, Punnu refused to give up.
Summoning every ounce of strength, Punnu focused his energy and countered with a series of rapid slashes from his sword. One of the strikes connected, cutting the speed thug's leg and slowing him down. The thug winced in pain but continued his relentless assault.
Realizing he needed to change tactics, Punnu used his earth manipulation ability. He caused the ground beneath the speed thug to shift and crack, creating obstacles to slow him down further. The thug stumbled and fell, giving Punnu the chance to strike again.
With his hardened exoskeleton providing protection, Punnu endured the thug's attacks and delivered powerful blows with his enhanced strength. He swung his sword with precision, managing to land a decisive cut on the thug's side. The thug fell to the ground, writhing in pain.
Despite his victories, Punnu was not unscathed. The fight had taken a toll on him, and his leg injury was severe. Blood oozed from the wound, and each step sent waves of pain through his body. But Punnu's determination never wavered. He knew he had to keep going to protect Aman and save her from the old man's clutches.
With the flying cat by his side, Punnu prepared to face the old man. He stood his ground, ready to fight, knowing that the battle was far from over. The old man, seeing his thugs defeated, grew more enraged. He readied another wave punch, determined to crush Punnu once and for all.
