“~Ugh!”
It was much faster and heavier than I expected. The shock was like being whipped with a lead rope.
Maintaining my defensive stance, I left a trail on the ground as I slid back.
It was heavy. It was far too heavy. Taking it head-on was impossible. I pursed my lips at my rival who had improved more than I expected.
This damn geezer. What kind of fight does he think this is?
I somehow managed to hold my stance. Chester began to run in pursuit.
Don’t underestimate me. My stance was a Shijima defense stance.
Chester’s fist was aimed directly at my face. If I took a blow like that to the face, forget about dying–seeing my head fly off wouldn’t be strange. Against such a strike, I used my hands.
Don’t look down on the Shijima style once it has devoted itself to defense! Rather than saying anything, this time swept my arm downwards.
Naturally, my body followed after my arm moved by the momentum and headed towards the ground. I used that orbit to place my knee.
With every ounce the same strength as his fist, I sunk my knee into Chester’s face.
I could feel his nose being crushed under my knee. However, even as he had my knee in his face, he caught me with his right hand.
As soon as I thought ‘dammit’, a fist sunk into my stomach. I vomited blood even as I was blown away like a small pebble. The distance between us was forcefully widened.
“Hwugh…Kuku, This is fun, isn’t it Chester?”
“Bu thead did. Deth id da betht. ” ‘You said it. This is the best.’
Chester and I laughed while we straightened our broken noses and vomited the reaming blood in our throats respectively.
Chester had so much blood on his face that you could not tell what he looked like originally but his smile was so pure that it one amazed that it came from an old man.
As for me, my face did not have much blood on it, but my internal organs throbbed painfully. That counterattack clearly wasn’t half-hearted, even in the midst of an attack.
We were both absurd. I dodged Chester’s attack. However, Chester completely ignored my counterattack and continued with his own attack.
