Deception [1]
Tito pulled back his leg and jumped a few inches back to maintain distance between him and the brown-haired girl.
He had long realized that his fighting style is similar to that which Taylor used, and also that he has close to zero chances of defeating her in a fair fight.
He was never the type to waste time. Turning his legs into small rockets, he swiftly hovered in the air and cracked the floor beneath him as he charged at Taylor.
Taylor didn't have the advantage in agility, as the man of fire did, but she was determined to counter the attack rather than dodge it.
Tito stepped on the ground and leaped towards Taylor like a rubber band as he performed a flying kick.
In response to the inmate's attack, the Chief Corrections Officer performed a wide drop kick with all her might.
Crack—!
Taylor's bones cracked a bit as Tito managed to push her back by a few inches. It didn't matter, as her side effect quickly healed her.
Right then, Taylor started running at the man of fire, determined to take him down, as she started rotating her body.
This movement made it hard for her opponent to locate the leg she was going to attack with. However, she wasn't going to kick as she took Tito by surprise, by shooting a ball of water from her mouth.
Brwoo—!
Taking advantage of his abnormal hearing, Tito narrowly dodged the attack by bending himself ninety degrees as his head faced the ground.
Bam—!
Taylor used this chance to kick him in the face with enough force to send him flying a few feet.
Turning his whole body into flames, Tito avoided crashing on the floor before materializing again.
'Damn it! That was reckless of me!' Tito thought as he wiped the blood at the corner of his lips.
Swook—!
As if it was waiting for his head to be up, an arrow of water came flying at him.
Tito knew that there was no way Taylor would just use such a useless attack for nothing. She had to be planning something!
Tak—!
The arrow landed on the ground, and the man of fire never thought he was safe even for a second, as numerous other arrows came flying at him.
Making acrobatic spins and flips, Tito tried his best to dodge the arrows. However, despite his efforts, his right leg managed to get stabbed.
Pierce—!
The arrow passed through him, leaving a trail of blood as Tito crouched to the ground, touching the injured spot.
Smack—!
Before he could turn his body into flames, Taylor performed a side kick on Black and White's face, sending him flying in the sky before he kissed the ground.
Bam—!
"Aghhk!" Tito groaned before turning his body into flames to heal himself. He materialized and asked, "That was a good one."
Taylor smirked with the corner of her lips, "I know, right?"
The man of fire couldn't see a thing with his eyes, but his ears picked up on a soft stretching sound happening all around him.
"I am talking about the spider web you are trying to encage me in."
At the end of Tito's smoky voice, Taylor's eyes widely shook as only the Vice Warden was able to see through this technique of hers.
Before she could say anything, Tito explained what he was hearing, "You make small threads from your body and shape them into a web around your enemy. Fighting is just a means to distract your enemy."
"Just when did you figure that out..?" Taylor asked with a face full of disbelief.
A few minutes ago, "Since you started making those water webs, an hour ago."
Taylor's mouth opened up and down from shock. However, she soon regained her composure, as she remembered who she was facing.
"As expected of the rumored Xenogenesis, who is someone only a level behind the Vice Warden in terms of being a great strategist."
'You got it all wrong. It is Hein who is a level behind me.'
Tito didn't show his thoughts and stepped back to avoid the water webs that showed no signs of stopping.
Trying to gain the advantage, Tito turned his left hand into a giant python that was twice the normal size of a truck.
Bruu—!
With the burning flames twisting around the giant snake and its sharp fangs dripping saliva of yellow fire, the attack charged towards Taylor.
"Tsk." The Chief Corrections Officer clicked her tongue, as she was now in a position where she had to use her ultimate attack to save herself.
The tiny spider webs quickly started to gather and formed a tunnel of water that enclosed the flaming snake in one go.
Puff...
Water vapor rose up in the air, hindering the sight of almost every person in the hallway, including the ones responsible.
Thanks to still having a lot of flames connected to his arm, Tito quickly regenerated his left hand and charged straight at his opponent.
With the sound of cutting clouds, he quickly arrived at Taylor's position and performed a knee kick towards her gut.
Hiza Geri.
Thwack—!
Taylor was taken by surprise and got hit in the abdomen, making her step back a few inches. But as someone who had a strong physique from birth, she quickly reacted to the second attack.
Bam—!
She reacted to Black and White's forty-five-degree kick with a side kick, creating a loud impact that vibrated even in her bones.
Jumping back again, the two glared at each other before exchanging rapid fast kicks that were like bullets to the naked eye.
Whenever they clashed, the floor cracked and the whole hallway seemed to shake.
For the first time since he was arrested, Tito cringed as he racked his brain to come up with methods to defeat Taylor.
This made him realize that no matter what he does, his chances of defeating Taylor were as good as zero.
However, a wonderful idea popped up in his mind which made him smirk, "I can just do that!"
