Downhill Battle [2/4]

Jack nodded, after which Creig grabbed the mist with his hands and with tremendous might threw Jack who hardly weighed a few feathers at an astonishing speed, in the direction of Junya and Wenji.

Jack's now light body moved effortlessly, flying through the air, barrelling toward Junya and Wenji who had now finally reached the flat.

"Bear Witness! The blessing of the spirit of intrepidity, Atromitos!" Jack yelled, the mist below his feet was gone just in time for him to descend upon both Junya and Wenji's heads.

"Don't stop! It's over if they stop our momentum! Run and fight!" Junya yelled, with a simple step he leapt forward in front of Wenji. The quick speed made him surprised with a look of betrayal in his eyes.

Without sparing time to curse, he pulled a vial from his belt and sucked the content down.

Booom! Craash!

The move gave him just enough time to make it past Jack.

Furiously, Jack shouted. "You idiots think that I, Jack, can be beaten in a foot race?... Well, think again!"

His boisterous shout was followed by a show of astonishing speed for someone with a large body. Wenji was unable to do anything, watching the large figure of Jack's hand reach out to cover his face.

Clang!!!

"Arhh," Jack gruffed in pain and flinched his hand in pain.

Junya's sabre moved effortlessly creating the strongest wind slash he could muster from ahead. The slash impacted jacks arm, giving it a red bruising after only just a second.

"Wenji, get a grip! Are you a goddam dear are something!"

Listening to the enraged shouts of Junya, Wenji did his best to keep up.

"That only slowed him down cause it stung. Hand me a potion" Junya reached his hand out. In their agreement it wasn't specified that Wenji was obligated to, However, he was his only lifeline win winning this confrontation.

"So this is what you meant when you said that you knew how you would get me back huh?"

Tch!

He clicked his tongue while handing over the stamina potion.

'I half expected a laceration to his finger at least, I guess I should use the same force I would for chopping someone's head off. Still, I hope I don't get to engrossed in trying to beat him. I don't want to lose control, I've been doing pretty good and the feeling of killing has been tame.'

Junya gulped down the stamina potion while thinking of a plan.

'Spirit of Intrepidity huh? The other one issued mist to lessen his weight while using it to move extremely quickly. I could outrun him but I would leave Wenji to his fate…'

He shook the thought off and focused on Jack who came into their view once more. He knew already that Wenji was running at his maximum, and with Creig flying ever closer and Jack hunting them like a lion.

It was only a matter of time.

"Wenji, you have to take Jack, Creig is going to catch up to us. Outrunning him is impossible like this." Junya kept watchful eye on them both. It was definitely harder to outrun them when they were on a flat, especially with the speed Creig was coming with. He would hit them hard.

"What are you talking about! Do I look like the kind of person that could take him!"

"It doesn't matter what you look like! Right now you just have to! Or do you want to take the guy that wants to kill fucking kill you!" Junya yelled pointing toward the impeding Doom, which was Creig.

Wenji double took between the two, while Jack looked like a raging bull that charged madly waiting to steamroll him. Creig had an even colder look like he was waiting to kill someone. Furthermore, his anger was focused on Junya, so he didn't want to involve himself.

Reluctantly he never spoke, choosing the latter.

"Use your moms, flesh technique on him. That will get him good."

"Idiot! You think something like that is even possible! My mom was on a different level than anyone else, she even had a god blessing! Even if I could I wouldn't know the first clue on how to use it.

Furthermore, it would kill him! I would be locked behind a million jails!"'

"Stop whining, think of something, there must be some means you have to take him out. Figure it out on your own." Junya didn't try to argue. "Take your guy and has it out somewhere else. Just make sure you keep moving."

"No! Our deal wasn't for me to fend for myself. We should both stick together!"

"You idiot use your head a little and stop being a bitch!" Junya yelled at him.

"You… Agh, Fine! We'll see who is bitch! You keep running and watch how I stop him myself."

Skrrshhh!

Wenji turned around while sliding on the ground to decrease his speed.

"Hmph, I'll show him. Secret Ability, Rune Mark of Geia, Agh!"

Bwoom!

Jack used merely three steps to close the distance once Wenji stopped. He severely underestimated the speed they were going.

The forceful punch forced the air from his chest sending him airborne back next to Junya. He picked up on his senses and landed on his feet sprinting, almost like a cat.

"I'm sorry! I'll do anything you say! Just don't leave me here!"

Junya looked at him and it looked like he had just been through a storm. "You don't need to beat them, just try and deflect their attacks and protect your weak spots. Most importantly never lose your footing."

He nodded like his neck was missing a few screws.

Junya gripped his sword in anticipation of the brawl that would soon ensue, while Wenji swallowed potions of vastly different colours. Some colours were even new to Junya.

"Don't overdose, then I'd definitely leave you"

"Tch, Shut up, this is for my Super Secret Ability that I was going to bust out and put him 6ft under!" Wenji snorted and stated eye down Jack. He was already on top of Wenji rearing through a fist to his back.

'I can only use this once a week, I never had time to train my stamina enough to do it more than once, so this is my only chance. I never minded taking their beating because I could simply heal up after… but this is more urgent'

"Bear witness to my fitness! Secret Ability! Healing Rune of Geia"

Wenji stuck his finger in his mouth and wrote a simple rune on the palm of both his hands.

"Cut the bullshit!" Jack saw his exaggerative speech as a mocking gesture. This added to his anger.

Smash!

Jack finally reached close enough to unleash a ferocious punch. The forceful attack came as a surprise, its charge up took barely any time. Wenji imagined it to be an Ability.

Wenji blocked the attack which shouldn't have posed a problem but it was all a facade. The force from the punch felt like he was hit by a truck which shifted his footing, almost causing him to fall. Only saving himself from catching his balance.

Crack!

Wenji's bone split under the pressure of the punch and he picked wounds which bled under the skin.

Jack grinned wickedly, as he sprint forward to unleash another punch with no less ferocity than the last. Then his grin dropped while he looked at his arms of Wenji, this made him hesitate and observe a little more.

His eyes witness an unbelievable scene.

The black and blue bruises on Wenjis's arm were going away at a visible rate. Making his skin spotless once more. His bones were snapped into place by his own body and healed quickly within the time it took to fill a bucket of water.

"How do you like that fucker!" Wenji gave him the finger while increasing his speed. His body now carried a green aura, which accentuated his eyes, his every move produced a green streak than constantly healed his wounds.
