The Only Chance

The two kept fighting, and when Mantis came in, something strange happened. Simyon saw it as his opportunity and started to strike at Mantis non-stop. Mantis felt something from his back.

Getting back up from his position, Mantis could feel the pain going away from his body. His muscles started to relax, his headache was disappearing, and he could see the opponent in front of him clearly again.

'Why did I feel that pain, why did my chest hurt, is it when I get excited during a fight, or when I use too much Qi?' Mantis thought to himself. 'I had to give more power than I thought I would; this person's body is incredibly strong. I wonder what he went through or what art he did to go through something like this… but that's not my concern, my concern is I just need to take you down.'
