chapter 23: resisting the trill(02)

As Herman stood a few meter away from Nuk he could feel the trill building up, but this time with all his resolve Herman refused to be lost in the trill.

Nuk seeing Herman just standing there unmoving and looking fully concentrated to the point, Nuk felt he was being ignored.

He immediately recalled the words of the elder " about not to holding back".

He unleashed his trait skills to the max and then added in his class skill to make himself evening more invigorated, as a semi transparent amour made of his energy descended upon him further increasing his strength and defence.

immediately Nuk charged at Herman with a roar.

//?? strength: -5.??//

//?? speed: -7??//.

Herman still focused on not getting lost in the trill saw the message of his debuff, being in a battle stance with his opponent charging at him Herman released his combat art as he could feel with the trill still struggling to overwhelm him, but his strength had received a increase.

//?? combat art: the way of Qi??//

//overload//.

as soon as Herman called upon his combat in his mind a semi visible visage of energy burst out of his body before he shot himself at Nuk, Nuk watched as the energy twirled around him, like a sentient being, he also charged at his Nuk, but still resisting the trill, Herman noticed that his strength kept increasing as the battle was at hand.

Curt was amazed as even when fighting with Herman he never reviewed the usage of this energy.

bang!,

resounded as both parties crashed into one another, taking advantage of the momentum Herman shoot backward and immediately activated the lightling skill and immediately charged at Nuk in his state of stupor as he did not expect his opponent to retreat in their clash only to be attacked again.

seeing as Herman was moving faster at him, Nuk lodged his displaced leg at the floor and conjured a heavy guanlets before Herman was upon him.

"thang!!", resounded for all to hear as Nuk shot back in the air before regaining his balance at the last second.

feeling pressure from being thrown around by a normal human despite being a barbarian, Nuk putted away the heavy guanlets and stood his ground as he readied himself to unleash his most powerful move, feeling the odds movement of energy Herman's instinct ran wild warning him of the danger ahead as the hair on the back of his neck stood up.

Feeling the battle was coming to an end Herman collected all the energy he could to his legs for explosive movement and he formed a very light energy dorm to heighten his sense upon intrusion.

seeing as Nuk's energy had all being added back to him, his right arm muscles bulged, contracted and stretched as his body looked uneven but Herman knew otherwise as he could feel all a large amount of energy eminating from his buffed arm than any other part of his body.

outside the stage,

"it seems the younglings finally pushing his limit" said an elder, "indeed" said another elder present by side, just in case let's set a barrier to avoid stray attacks.

Curt stood outside the stage feeling deceived as herman had never made use these his abilities against him, until he remembered he had never really showed all that, he had underestimated Herman of not being worth him fighting seriously, so he decided to let it go and do the next best thing that could cost him the fight.

"Nuk show him the full might of a barbarian rooted with titans blood, show him true brute strength"

Hearing the cheers of Curt and others, Nuk felt he was on track on what was supposed to do, in Herman's case hearing Curt's voice amongst the cheers, cheering for the other party Herman felt he deserved it because he had never used some of the skills he was displaying in this battle against him, but he felt Curt was being unfare as it's still a work in progress.

having cleared his thoughts Herman called Nuk " mind if we end this battle in our next clash asked Herman, sure replied Nuk"

seeing as Herman was willing to end the battle in the next clash Nuk scutted as he as stood on his toes with his other hand on the floor helping stay balanced and his buffed hand facing his opponent with fist tightened.

Herman responded by going as low as he possible that won't hinder his sprint but rather help react faster.

Booom!, everyone felt a tremor as they charged at each other.

as soon as Herman saw Nuk body weight shift forward he lost track of him, only to sense intrusion within his space by left side behind him, expecting him to aim for his weak spot, Herman bent backwards as Nuk's fist grazed his cheek only for both of the to vanish and appear facing each other.

//?? overdrive??//.

shouted Herman as all the qi released within the environment was pulled back to him. Nuk seeing the similarity amongst their technique attacked with all that he had to end the fight then and there, immediately Herman called back all the Qi he could control Herman used majority of it to form a shield and moved his head from the line of Nuk's attack by bending his head side ways, as soon as Nuk's arm came in contact with the shield and noticed the resistance Nuk brute forced his way through like knife through butter but Herman had already removed himself from his attack although not with taking direct damage from the attack, Herman felt the shockwave, Herman reciprocated by calling all the Qi within the premise as it moved and entangled to his fist like a snake with it's mate as Herman with all that he had left sent an furious uppercut to Nuk's jaw.

"bbbaaaaaaamm!".
