chapter 10

Aiden appeared in front of the great ape with his right arm raised and his fist clenched to deliver a blow with all his power to the ape.

The monkey only with a hint of astonishment countered aiden's attack with his own fist.

*BOOM!*

The two fists collided again, creating a shock wave again, but this time stronger, making the ground shake very hard. But neither of them was hurt, apart from the floor under the monkey that cracked and marks of the monkey's feet were imprinted on it.

Aiden dropped his feet to the ground and jumped back as he looked at the monkey very seriously as he thought that the chances of getting to punch the monkey in the face from him were very low, but not impossible. (:v)

Aiden ran towards the monkey as he thought of a plan so he could punch him in the face. The monkey simply crossed his arms as he sighed clearly disappointed that aiden didn't use the movement technique from earlier, then jumped from the spot he was standing on earlier while avoiding aiden's attack.

But aiden had a reason not to, although he clearly wouldn't say it…yet, since he's fighting.

Minutes passed and the monkey was clearly playing with the tired aiden, who hadn't been able to hit him again as the monkey avoided each attack by jumping a few inches from aiden hitting him. Making aiden have to be careful not to fall as he is still not used to his new height and weight.

'What the hell can I do to hit him? Every time I get close to punch him, he just jumps somewhere else, causing me to almost fall several times...it's really bugging me...'. - Aiden thought as he continued attacking the monkey that dodged every hit like nothing.

But although upset, aiden has realized that he has gained a lot in this 'combat'. One of them was being able to use the [Spiritual Body Manifestation]. If it wasn't for the combat he wouldn't have tried to use reinforcement at level 6, although in a way it was a bad idea to do it since the process to do it was painful, he managed to overcome his limits and be able to do it... Although it was very painful.

Anyway, aiden kept trying to hit the monkey. to no avail, clearly since he wasn't even using [Shundo] because aiden isn't even used to using [Spiritual Body Manifestation] yet he feels like his energy is depleting at a fast rate, not his spirit energy, but physical energy. his resistance.

Although the armor does not weigh much since it is made of energy and for him it is light to a certain extent. But the pressure that is resisting at the moment is like... when a person dives into the sea beyond the possible limit and reaches a point where you can hardly resist the pressure and have to be several minutes in place. That's more or less how he feels. (:v)

"What's wrong? Are you tired already? Why don't you use that movement technique? Because even if you have great strength, with that speed you won't even be able to get close to me if I didn't let you." - said the monkey as he jumped further back and looked at aiden who was breathing heavily.

"Because it's the first time I use it in combat and I don't know how to control it well either, since it was only this morning that I started practicing it" - Aiden replied as she stopped a few meters from the monkey trying to catch her breath a little.

"Hmmm...so disappointing, so how about we end this with one last attack...I can't be playing with you anymore since I'm late..." - said the monkey while waiting for the response of the human in front of him. although he was already decided to stop the 'fight' even if the other didn't want to, since he got bored and has to go.

"Okay..." - Aiden replied while sighing and suddenly an idea came to mind.

Creating a clone next to him, causing the monkey to raise an eyebrow in confusion as he saw what Aiden was trying to do, since the clone didn't have the armor.

Because, well, the armor of the [Spiritual Body Manifestation] is so to speak the manifestation of its soul to the outside, so a clone made of energy doesn't have a soul at most it could use Reinforcement at level 5. (🤷‍♂️)

"Ok... you know what to do" - Aiden said as he looked at the clone who nodded and ran to the side and stood there. The monkey looked confused at the scene, but he didn't say anything and waited for Aiden to give the signal to start.

"Well, I'll prepare a strong attack..." Aiden said as he turned on his spiritual energy even more and began to concentrate it in his right hand.

"Oh... sure, sure, I'll be waiting for you...". - The monkey replied as he saw the great concentration of spiritual energy in the arm of the human in front of him, as he had thought before, he can say that the human has a lot of spiritual energy to be a human. No, he has much more energy than even many beings and some gods. He even remembers that Nue girl who asked him to have a match. Although she is much stronger and more skilled than the human in front of him, he can tell that he has much more spirit energy than her and her mistress. and that's an achievement since they consider themselves the strongest of his group...or so he thinks.

"Ok... here I go..." - Aiden said as he finished infusing spiritual energy into his right arm. Aiden thinks that next time he will first try to get his body used to using large amounts of spirit energy before using this type of attack again... he hurts a lot more.

"[Shundo]... [POWER SMAAASSSHHHH]" - Aiden said as he used shundo to appear much faster in front of the monkey and launch a powerful blow.

*BOOOOOOOMMMMMM!!!*

The great ape also punched forward, bumping the two fists together creating a huge explosion along with a shock wave and then a huge gust of wind that blew away everything in its path. The ground around him shattered and caved in, metal containers, warehouse walls, beams all being blown away.

The clone stared at the crash as he used the wall-walking and water-walking technique to stay in place and not fly away as well. he also used some spirit energy to strengthen the ground a bit so it doesn't get destroyed although he doesn't think it will last long with this combat of strength that the original and the monkey have.

"HAHAHAHA THAT'S IT, THAT'S IT, THIS POWER, THIS IS WHY I WASN'T GONE. COME ON, COME ON I KNOW YOU CAN PUT MORE POWER INTO THE HIT!!" - The monkey yelled as he laughed loudly and put more power into his fist causing aiden to step back a bit. but Aiden also placed more spirit energy on his arm and pushed him back as well.

With 10,000 energy points, aiden's punch can destroy a town if he wanted to, but it's not like that right now since the monkey is the one taking all the hit.

'No, I won't let him win... I can hit him...' - Aiden thought as she resisted the pain in her body, but mainly in her arm. his armor was starting to crack from the previous impact, his arm armor had disappeared since the impact so he is only being protected by the spirit energy from the attack. Aiden feels like his flesh is giving way and small wounds are opening on his arm and all over his body that isn't covered by armor.

"NOW!!" - Aiden shouted as he regenerated his armor and used the last of his energy to reinforce the [Power Smash].

"[Capture]..." - Said the clone as he pointed his hand at the monkey and activated [Capture] while he had [Reinforcement] level 5 active to strengthen the skill.

The specific direction the clone is pointing at is the arm the monkey was using to hold back the original's punch. His mission is not to lure the monkey to him, but to give the original a chance so that he can get past the monkey's defense while he is distracted by the original in his contest of strength.

"WHAT!!..."-Was what the monkey managed to say before a fist powered by 15,000 energy collided with his face and sent him flying backwards like a bullet until hitting some containers.

"HUFF HUFF... no, I won't do it again..." - Aiden said as his armor disappeared in particular and showed his body full of cuts and blood. only to later fall to the ground and pass out from his injuries and lack of spirit energy. but more because of the lack of spiritual energy since it is the first time that he spends it all completely.

The clone wanted to go help the original, but he also ran out of spirit energy so he disappeared in an explosion of white smoke.

And so the fight ended...

==============

Just to clarify something, this world is UA.

The original protagonist will still exist. but several things did not happen as in the original. And there will also be some things not originating from that world to help our protagonist.

I hope you liked the chapter and I wonder... which character will appear in the next character card... although I already know. : v
