Chapter 16: Limit Breaker Part 3

Deep into the night, the full moonlight was shining above a forest revealing the source of strong gusts of wind.

Yoze's skin was as red as a lobster's shell due to his blood nearly reaching a boiling point. Due to the constant exercise, Yoze's shirt had been torn to shreds revealing his body packed full of muscles.

With each punch Yoze sent the next one faster and stronger, the trees in front of him had lost all their leaves even though it was the middle of summer.

With each punch, Yoze grew closer to the 71st punch, and with each punch, he felt that his body was about to explode. Suddenly, Yoze felt his mind suddenly grow sharper, and clearer. Knowing that he was on the verge of success he slowed down his punch to make sure everything is perfect.

[Blood Fist (Perfection level: 100%)]

"Badum! Badum!! Badum!!!"

A clear audible drum sound rang from Yoze's chest and radiated into the quiet forest. Yoze felt that he was on the edge of death and he was drawing every last drop of potential in his body to survive.

"Boom! 70."

Yoze made a mental note at his 70th Koi Fist and started to throw his 71st punch. Yoze watched as his arm went from bright red to a deep shade of red as a large amount of his blood pumped into his arm.

"Pop! Boom!!!"

Suddenly Yozd heard a crisp popping coming from his body followed by a shockingly powerful sonic boom.

Yoze did it when he had broken through the Twin Fists limit and threw his 71st punch. However, at this moment he threw that useless thought away and pushed further.

He knew that in this special state, he had to push himself to the limit and definitely wasn't going to hold himself back. He was going to forcefully combine Twin Fists with Blood Fist to create a new martial arts technique.

"Whoosh Whoosh Whoosh Whoosh Whoosh Whoosh Whoosh Whoosh Whoosh Whoosh."

Yoze threw out ten blood-red koi punches as he felt that he had pushed himself a little bit more.

"Whoosh Whoosh Whoosh Whoosh Whoosh Whoosh Whoosh Whoosh Whoosh Whoosh."

Another ten followed and Yoze felt that he was gathering more of his potential and unleashing it through his punches.

"Whoosh Whoosh Whoosh Whoosh Whoosh Whoosh Whoosh Whoosh Whoosh Whoosh."

Another ten followed as Yoze stopped using Blood Fist and only throughout punches fueled by drawing out his potential. The more Yoze punched the stronger, faster, and harder his following punches became.

The higher Yoze reached in his punch combo the bloodier his entire body became. In a flash, Yoze surpassed his previous combo limit and reached his 99th punch.

Yoze felt that his body was on fire as his skin regained his dark red hue. Without a single extra thought, Yoze threw out his 100th punch and heard a familiar popping coming from his body followed by a wave of clarity.

After throwing out his 100th punch Yoze stopped because he knew that he had done it. He had come through three limits one after another in a single moment.

[Talent Mark: 1]

Pulling up his status window to check his progress, Yoze smiled as he saw not only did he break through Twin Fists and reach rank 4 but he also created a new martial arts technique by combining both the good points of his two Fist Arts.

"Another way to kill people and train at the same time, wonderful." Yoze smiled as he felt his body hit the ground before everything went dark.

By the time Yoze regained consciousness, he found that he was no longer in the forest and instead in a wooden cottage. The wood cottage was filled with the scent of medicine and had numerous bowls of smelly paste.

"Where am I?"

Yoze attempted to stand up but found that his body was itchy all over and found that he was covered in a smelly black paste.

"What is this?"

Yoze picked up a dollop of the smelly paste on his body and he immediately began to itch. The itch went deeper into Yoze's fresh, touch his bones, and then the itch went into his bones.

Yoze would have gone insane from the constant itch inside his bones but he found that as long as he didn't move a finger the itch sensation would disappear.

"Did I encounter a witch that wants to eat my flesh?"

Due to not him not being able to move a muscle, Yoze felt as if he was a fish on a plate waiting to be eaten. His mind began to wonder about the stories his father had told of witches eating human flesh to continue their Immortality.

Witches were another existence that drew fear from their mysterious nature. They were neither demons, monsters, or Immortal. Witches were mortals that have grown to like the taste of flesh from their kind and use it as the source of their powers.

The most common story of Witches was the Immortal Witch. The story had existed for who knows how long and had many variations. The most common and most well-known was that the Immortal Witch was a village girl who fell in love with an Immortal that had passed by her village.

The Immortal however rejected the girl's feelings due to her not being an Immortal herself. From the Immortal's point of view, the village girl's beauty would fade away in a blink of an eye and she would become dust in another blink.

The Immortal's rejection broke the village girl's heart and she ran into the forest to throw herself off a cliff. That was when she encountered a demon who heard the girl's sorrows. The demon then convinced the girl that he had a method that could make her live forever with never-fading beauty.

The village girl didn't trust the demon's lies but her delusional love for the Immortal made her ask for the demon's solution. The demon then told the girl that she could live forever if she ate her fellow villagers. The demon then fed the girl a mysterious marble flesh that made her feel powerful. The village girl convinced by the demon went down to her village and ate them all in her madness.

By the time the village girl regained herself, she was covered in the blood of her family and fellow villagers. The village girl was filled with regret and loss from her actions.

In the village girl's eyes the only loved one she had left was the love of her life, the Immortal. The village girl confessed to the Immortal that she was now Immortal and they could belong together forever.

The Immortal then said that she had sinned by killing the innocent and listening to the lies of demons. The Immortal then told her that he needed to kill her so her soul could be damned for eternal damnation.

The village girl who had eaten her village went mad and ate the Immortal before finding the demon and cursing it. After the village girl finished her curse, the demon told her that he told her the truth and gave her a method to live forever. As long as she ate the flesh of humans she could live till the end of the earth.

The village girl heart broken and betrayed ate the demon before going on to another village to eat their flesh. In her madness, the village girl developed a sickness that made her want to stay beautiful for the rest of the time.
