Jigsaw.2

Even the system itself had confirmed that Jim is superhuman, but Nate had noticed that, so far, after exchanging some blows with Jim, the latter had not shown any noticeable sign that one would see and think he was normal, just like Nate, who was missing a wrist, yet one could not see any sign of pain in Jim's eyes.

But the truth is that Jim had shown feats that one might think were not normal for a regular human being to perform. It's just that Nate had underrated him and failed to notice those feats.

An example is the constant ability to counter-attack after being sent flying. Under normal circumstances, if Jim were a regular person, it would take just one blow from Nate to possibly even kill him. However, Jim had been sent flying several times, yet he was able to recover and strike back. Nate was simply expecting a more overt display of power, and so far, Jim had not demonstrated such a feat.

What Jim pulled into his mouth from the keg was fuel, and the moment he did so, a virtual change began to occur in his body. Starting from his nose to the center of his forehead, a tiny line appeared, and a chainsaw blade, to be precise, emerged from the line. Looking at this from his angle, Nate knew what this was.

Coming out from Jim's head was the petroleum chainsaw used for cutting down trees. But that was not the only change. From his neck to the shoulder, his flesh transformed into metal. However, it didn't stop there. Jim's wrist, which had been broken by Nate, also started to morph into a circular blade with teeth on its edge.

"I told you this would be your end," Jim said and threw out the circular saw blade at Nate. The saw shot out at him, with a chain attached at the side, connecting back to Jim's wrist.

"You know you can't scare me," Nate scoffed and bent his body forward as the circular saw blade passed through his head.

While Jim's left hand, which had been twisted by Nate, had turned into a circular saw, his other hand transformed into a jigsaw, ready for use.

When Nate successfully ducked the saw blade, he reached for the sword lying on the ground. Grabbing it with his left hand, Nate planned to swing it at Jim, but then he saw the saw blade returning to him like a snake.

With the chain in his hand, Jim easily manipulated the direction of the saw, although it wasn't complete control because the blade was cutting through nearly everything in its path. Nate raised the sword in front of him to block the blade, but it was easily sliced through, giving Nate enough time to evade.

Bang...! The saw and its chain pierced the wall behind him and continued on. Nate seized this opportunity to sprint toward Jim, who was far from defenseless right now.

Jim used the other jigsaw machine that his hand had turned into to slash at Nate as he approached. But Nate shifted his face to the side and used his elbow to hit Jim's abdomen, lifting him off the ground and slamming him hard onto the floor.

Nate wasn't planning to stop there. After slamming Jim, he attempted to crush Jim's head with his metallic hand, but even with his super strength, Nate couldn't harm Jim.

"You won't succeed," Jim managed to say before forcefully shifting his head to point the chin blade at Nate. Nate, still focused on trying to use his feet to crush Jim, had his leg chopped off.

Shian...! The sharp sound of metal clashing with metal was heard, but Nate's bone was not metal, and a deep cut appeared on his leg. Simultaneously, the circular blade saw returned to Jim's hand.

"You could have done more than that, boy, but too bad, you will be dying," Jim taunted as he prepared to hurl the blade back at Nate. However, Nate had a plan.

Smoke appeared on his hands, followed by a large bag that Nate tossed at Jim. Jim used the chainsaw on his forehead to slice the bag in half, but what Nate needed had already fallen in front of him.

[50 energy had been used in healing all host wounds] Nate had saved his energy points until now. His missing wrist regenerated along with his leg in a flash. When Jim looked again, Nate was standing, holding a long hammer with both hands.

"How did...?" Jim was shocked to see Nate holding the long hammer with both hands.

"I told you that you are naive about who you are facing," Nate mumbled and swung the hammer at Jim's face, aiming at the chainsaw blade in Jim's forehead.

The hammer made contact with the chainsaw but was almost sliced in two. Nate wouldn't allow that and quickly pulled the hammer back and used a kick to send Jim flying backward.

However, while flying backward, Jim swung the saw blade again. Nate, once again, dodged to the side, determined to end this fight quickly. He grabbed the chain attached to Jim's head and exerted his power, swinging Jim up and down against the ceiling and the ground.

"Even if I can't crush your head, I can still break your bones," Nate shouted and yanked the chain towards him, pulling Jim along.

Jim flew towards him with his chainsaw out and ready to cut down anything in its path.

"Fool, you just made a huge mistake," Jim intended to use this opportunity to cut off Nate's head, but he didn't realize Nate's plan.

"You are the foolish one." Nate placed the circular blade saw chain in front of him. As Jim cut through the chain, Nate quickly sent a punch towards him, sending him back into the wall.

Bang...!

"You are not a good fighter after all, but soon, when you join my gang, you will be trained to use your power," Nate swung the saw attached to the chain at Jim's thigh and dragged him off the wall.

Jim's head and wrists began to return to their human flesh state, and he felt so exhausted that he could barely raise his hand to defend himself or crawl away from Nate.

"It's over... You lose, Jim," Nate said while slowly walking towards Jim.

"Scuff!"

"You think I'm tired? Then give me fuel to drink if you have the guts to continue this fight," Jim said, turning to look at Nate.

"I'm sorry that I will have to repay you like this after you helped me, but consider yourself lucky that I'm keeping you alive," Nate said. With that, he used the circular blade saw chain stuck in Jim's thigh to pull him closer before placing his hand on Jim's back.
