chapter 29 : Brit vs Fear

Watching Brit begin her assault on him, Lucas only smiled before calmly began to dodge and deflect the series of blows delivered by Britney.

 In a few seconds of assault, he had already measured Brit's speed and strength to match her and make the fight more equitable in terms of physical capacity.

 Britney intended to throw another punch but long before she began the move, Lucas interrupted her rhythm with an elbow to the face right on the nose.

 Since she felt neither damage nor pain, she immediately grabbed Lucas' arm for a takedown attempt with a judo hold but Lucas had already taken a step aside to no longer be behind her and effortlessly released her arm from Brit's hands.

 Seeing her attempt foiled, Britney once again rushed towards Lucas who was just waiting for that and in a split second, Britney found herself on the ground with just demonic timing because Lucas had just reproduced the same Judo hold that she had just tried.

 On the ground, Britney looked at Lucas in a strange way because she understood what he had just done, he had used his technique against her and it was an insult.

 The woman frowned and stood up to attack Lucas once more.

 This time she became more violent and brutal with combos and feints, punches and kicks but for Lucas who had lived 5000 years of Clarion's life, it was like facing a child.

 Brit is an expert in close combat and one of the best fighters on earth but to Lucas who not only has a Supernatural Fighting Instinct but had through Clarion's memory experienced the Xenorans martial arts, Brit was a totally primitive and predictable fighter .

 He effortlessly blocked, deflected and dodged the attacks before finally responding with a single palm strike to Britney's stomach who was thrown several dozen meters destroying trees and ground in her path.

 She got up as soon as Lucas was already in front of her, Brit tried to get up but she immediately started vomiting to her great astonishment because normally, she is supposed to be invulnerable to all forms of physical attacks.

 Britney: You…how?! What are you-(Interrupted)

 *BAM*

 He kicked her in the face but as Britney's body was thrown backwards, Lucas grabbed her leg to pull her back towards him and palmed her in the chest. Seeing Lucas' sudden brutality, the others began to get agitated.

 Debra: LUCAS STOP!

 Amber: BRITNEY!!

 Arthur (Art): My God!

 Eve: Why did he become so brutal all of a sudden?!

 Mark: I don't know but my brother is really scary.

 Saeko: Stop your scene, you all seem to have forgotten that like her brother Brittany, Britney is completely invulnerable to all forms of physical attacks. Onii-chan probably knows she has no injuries and treats her with respect. It's humiliating to hold back against a fighter just because she's a woman.

 Mark: Yes, but a kick to the face while she's on the ground is-(interrupted)

 Saeko: Big brother Mark, there are no referees here and they're not in a ring. She and Onii-chan are both champions of the no-holds-barred pits.

 At the moment of impact, Brit exhaled a large amount of air before collapsing, she felt neither pain nor shock so she got up, regaining her guard while Lucas, smiling, looked at her peacefully.

 But just as she wanted to attack him again, her heart began to beat abnormally, her vision became blurred, then she began to feel intense dizziness and finally, she lost consciousness.

 "BRITNEY!!" Amber yelled as she ran towards their position with the others following her with quite worried faces but Lucas quickly reassured them.

 Lucas: Calm down, she has nothing because she is completely invulnerable to attacks so she has no shock or pain. If she is on the ground now it is because I have just used an attack whose aim is not to hurt her but to disrupt the functioning of her heart and suddenly disrupt her rhythm.

 The result of this attack is a very brief cardiac arrest which pushed Britney into this state, of course, she will wake up very quickly and if you think that could be dangerous then No. Except for a normal human, this technique is not a long-term danger for her with her constitution, she could endure this hundreds of times without risking anything.

 As soon as he finished speaking, Britney woke up, much to the relief of everyone who understood that Lucas was telling the truth. Brit immediately stood up and looked around, not understanding how or why she was knocked to the ground in the first place.

 She looked at everyone but when her gaze landed on Lucas's, she understood everything. Lucas had found a way to incapacitate someone like her, someone invulnerable to all types of raw physical damage.

 Knowing this, a smile appeared on her lips because she had had what she wanted, to fight the best fighter in the world, the legend of the pits, the one who had never been touched, King and she had not been disappointed.

Realizing that she was inferior to him in combat, it did not discourage her, on the contrary...

 "I lost this round but I'm not giving up." she said smiling while regaining her guard in front of the others who remained silent in front of this whole scene.

 For exactly three days without any interruption, Lucas and Britney fought…or rather, Britney tried to attack Lucas without success.

 They faced each other a total of 437 times and Britney lost every round without laying a single finger on Lucas.

 "It's okay, I give up…you're a fucking monster!" Britney declared as she lay down in what looked like a trashed and overturned field half a mile away.

 It was midday and the sun was at its peak, Lucas looked at her smiling before sitting down next to her.

 Lucas: It was interesting, you even got stronger fighting me.

 Britney: I couldn't even touch you, keep your lies to yourself you monster.

 Lucas: Oh but I'm not lying, when you come back to the agency, try to fight your half-brother and you'll see that I'm telling the truth.

 Britney: If you are so strong then what is the thing that could have marked your body with so many scars?!

 Lucas: An opponent who was not from this world, it was an alien I think. He was strong, fast, extremely instinctive and experienced.

 It was a great fight, the best I've had so far but I had a seizure and he got the better of me. In the end, I lost the fight and was clinically dead for a whole year after that.

 Britney: And you have other attacks like that ?

 Lucas: I haven't had any yet since waking up but I can still feel my cells in constant pain. I'm getting better but I'm still basically sick. (stands up) We should go back, we've been fighting for three days now and I have to take Amber and Saeko on patrol.

 Britney: Patrolling ! where?!

 Lucas: Poachers! We're going to patrol and do a little cleaning up for illegal hunters. You want to come ?

 Britney: No, I have my fill. I'm quite mentally exhausted, losing 437 fights has exhausted me and my internal organs feel like mush. But if you allow me, I have one last question.

 Lucas: I'm listening to you.

 Britney: The thing you faced before you died, if you faced it now how would it be ?

 Britney: I'm much stronger than I was and my fighting skills have gone to a whole new level. If I faced this warrior now then I'm sure I could beat him .

 Britney: But-(interrupted)

 Lucas: Yes I know, I told you he is very strong and certainly, he wasn't even fully in our fight but the person I am now is...a different creature with different knowledge.

 Britney: What do you mean?! What knowledge?!

 Lucas: This was supposed to be your last question, remember. Shall I take you back to the mansion?!

 "(sighs) With pleasure" She responded by taking Lucas's hand who took him back to the mansion where everyone greeted them with a strange atmosphere.

 Very quickly, a summary was given to them. The day before, Mark received a call from William who sounded scared and his breathing was irregular.

 William had been kidnapped and the kidnapper wanted to see Mark alone otherwise he would kill William without hesitation.

Mark didn't know who this person was but he had the confidence to face this individual alone.
