Chapter 2 Part II

I was all over the place, feeling disoriented and bewildered. "Hey Athena," I declared, "put all my skill points into strength and speed - I'm getting ready to take on this unfamiliar assailant."

"Right away sir".

My eyes became lifeless and my emotionless face made it apparent that I desired to end this unknown man's life without any explanation.

He said in a coarse, grating tone, "You must be the offspring of that whore, I can tell from your face. You bear an unmistakable resemblance to her." His voice reverberated through my body, leaving me shaken.

"I had strong feelings for your mother and I invested a lot of money in her, but she was unfaithful to me in spite of our love. She is so beautiful, even at death."

His words were like those of someone who were psychotic. They had a cruel and sinister quality that left me standing in shock, unable to process what was happening. I felt a wave of fear and anxiety wash over me, as if I was about to be overwhelmed by the situation.

"It was so heartbreaking to see your mother sacrifice her body for money. I gave her the opportunity to come to me, but she refused, citing that she had someone to protect. That made me so angry that I ended her life. I won't tolerate being rejected!"

He spoke in such an even manner, as if this was a typical occurrence for him. I began to panic internally, as if my mind was flooding with ideas and sensations, all urging me to do one thing, take his life.

I fixed my intense gaze on his empty eyes, and before he could open his mouth, I rushed forward and threw a powerful punch. He managed to avoid it, but the force of the blow left a hole in the wall behind him.

He chuckled as he stepped aside to avoid my punch and said, "You're mad aren't you, kid?"

I then unleashed a flurry of punches, which he managed to evade accurately, demonstrating his remarkable skills. I knew I had to be clever to outwit him, so I launched a feint uppercut which he assumed he could easily evade. But before he could react, I had already ducked out of sight and snuck up behind him, catching him off guard.

"Gotcha!" I declared with a menacing voice.

I hit him with such force directly to his back that he was sent flying through the wall of the house. I wondered if he was dead, so I ventured through the opening he had created and saw him getting up after my fully powered hit.

He yelled, "Hey hey hey, that's impressive strength for a kid but, you're completely worthless, just like your mom. You ought to suffer the same fate as she did!"

He clasped his hands together and pointed them directly at me. "Vulcan, give me your power!" he shouted, and a powerful stream of fire shot towards me.

I'm at a loss for what to do since I don't possess any magical powers or energy to fight back. By the time I had a chance to come up with a plan, the fireball was already inside my range.

"Die!" He shouted manically.

I got prepared to indure serious damage but the blast of fire disappeared when it touched my skin. "W-What? Impossible!" he exclaimed.

I looked at my unharmed body in amazement. I had totally forgotten about my Negation ability and the entire concept of it.

I smiled and let out a chuckle as I pulled out the beat-up sword from my Dimensional Storage, which I got as a result of the battle with the goblin. The man was in awe, surprised by what he had just seen.

"Yea, that's right. Our fight is just now begining!" I said with a evil grin.
