Annihilation Act 1: Destruction (9)

''Speak''

'Thought'

____________________________________________

Ryu appears out from the raging inferno with the Violator roaring defiantly at Ryu.

With no expression on his face, Ryu dodged the attack from the Violator's claw swipe by jumping on top of the Violator's arms before running along the arms of the Violator before leaping forward and swinging his arm forward, aiming at the Violator's eyes. Still, the Violator was quick enough to use his other hand to try to catch Ryu, who was in the middle of the air.

However, despite not looking at the coming arms, Ryu used one of his legs to stand on top of the imminent hand, and by using the same leg, he leapt even higher in the air while also spinning around before facing back at Violator.

'What!? This bastard was able to see my attack coming!?' The Violator thought, seeing how Ryu could easily dodge his attack, 'Also, how is he not feeling any pain? Any normal human would scream in from all those burn marks alone!'

Even so, the Violator did not stop and used another hand that Ryu was running on to attack from behind. Still, to its own surprise, Ryu was able to react by swinging his own leg backward, using his right heel to kick the arm into the air.

'What!? That too!? How can he know I was attacking from behind!?' The Violator thought, 'And what with this strength? Isn't he just a normal human?!'

Using the momentum from swinging his leg backwards, Ryu flips his entire backward, and by doing so, he turns his leg from downward, doing an axe kick, before striking it down right on the head of the Violator before landing on the ground. In contrast, the Violator's head was bent downward due to the axe kick.

As to the Violator's question on how Ryu could see the attack coming from behind, the answer to this question was not that hard.

By spinning his body around when he dodged the Violator attack, Ryu, in his current state, was able to use his eyes and process all of the information that he sees by spinning around, and by doing so, he was able to predict the next move that the Violator would do.

Predicting someone's move could be said to be a speciality that Ryu has, right back then when he could expect where Nightcrawler would teleport or the time when he was fighting the monster that Mary created.

It was a move that Ryu would come to name "All Vision."

The two problems that Ryu has with this move are first the obvious one: he needs to see to predict the next movement his opponent would do. The second problem that Ryu notices is that he can only use this move when he is in this state, a state named "Flow State".

Not to mention another flaw that Ryu have, and that is that his current Flow State is only incomplete. Something that Ryu would only notice after this fight.

The Violator grunted in pain due to Ryu's axe kick and was shocked enough to create enough opening that Ryu could use to continue to attack.

With this opening, Ryu swung his hand upward, readying to pierce the Violator's head with his needle; however, it was futile because, at that very moment, the Violator used its hand to grab hold of Ryu's arm, stopping Ryu's attack.

"It seems I was mistaken, thinking I don't need to do much to kill you. I need to put a bit of effort into killing a fucking human like you!!" The Violator shouted before using his hand to hold onto Ryu's arm; he had it tightly before exceeding more strength into that arm, crushing Ryu's right arm effortlessly, leaving only a bloody mess behind.

Even with his arm being crushed and got turn into something unrecognisable, Ryu did not let out any sound, and he still had an emotionless expression on his face. Ryu used his other hand and tried to attack the Violator, but it was still futile because the Violator used another hand to grab hold of Ryu's other hand and crush it.

"HAHAHA, struggle all you want, human, but you are already finished." The Violator laughed loudly, seeing how both Ryu's arms had turned into nothing more than a bloody mess.

Ryu stepped backwards slightly due to instinct while still keeping up that emotionless face while both of his arms were crushed; not even bone was spare, and it seemed that both his armed twisted in a way that should not be possible, while also a massive amount of blood coming out of both of his arms.

With both of his arms being useless, it seems that Ryu is already out of options; however, while the Violator is laughing, seeing the pathetic state that he is in, Ryu steps forward in quick motion surprising even the Violator, before Ryu himself launches ahead, with his mouth open, he bites down hard on the Violator's neck.

The Violator's eyes were wide, seeing the action that Ryu did. Before he could respond, Ryu pushed himself away while still biting down on Violator's neck by using both of his legs to push himself away from the Violator.

With a piece of the Violator in his mouth, Ryu looked sternly at the wound he had inflicted on the Violator, bleeding a lot of blood before it quickly healed.

"What are you? A goddamn dog!? Biting down on me like an animal! I guess you are more of a dog than a human!" The Violator said, still having a smile on its ugly face.

Ryu, instead of spitting out the piece of Violator fresh in his mouth, does something unthinkable. Only following his instinct that is coming from both his mind and body, instead of spitting it out, Ryu put the Violator fresh in his mouth, chewing it before swallowing it.

The Violator seeing how Ryu eats his fresh, can only go wide eyes before laughing madly at the sight in front of him.

"You really are fucking dog!! Eating my fresh like some starving dog, you must be desperate to fucking win!!" The Violator said while still laughing, "Eating a demon fresh like that, do you the fucking consequence that you will have."

At that very moment, when the Violator fresh hit Ryu's stomach, he can feel a burning sensation coming from his stomach, like something trying to come out from his very own belly. However, he still has the same expression on his face.

The Violator continued to laugh madly before, with a burst of speed; the Violator rushed forward with an insane pace that even Ryu could not track with his eyes, and before he knew it, Ryu could feel something pierce him in the chest.

Ryu only looked down before seeing that the Violator's claw had pierced through his chest, and at the very tip of the claw itself was the un beating heart of none other than Ryu himself.

Ryu's body seemed to give in before his vision went blurry, and at that very moment, Ryu's body slumped forward before the light in his eyes gave out entirely.

Which can only mean one thing.

Ryunosuke Akutagawa is now dead.
