“Cough~! Cough~!”

There was a lot of dust and debris blown up by the kaminari striking the ground and the girl coughed to get rid of the worst of it. She was currently staying out of Mark’s sight while trying to get her bearings back so that she could go back into the fight. She still doesn’t know what that was all about. Since when could Mark use lightning-based skills? That was something that no one ever told her about. They only said that he was good at tanking blows and dishing them out. No one has ever seen him use any magic-type attack.

Does that mean that he lied about his skills? No, we cannot be sure that he lied, maybe he just didn’t tell the full truth about it. Then, is it the gloves? Mark was exceptionally strong, there was no doubt about it. The girl could feel her chest hurting from the massive punches that Mark gave her, and she knew that it would bruise tomorrow.

“Ah~!”

No, focus.

The only thing that could be responsible for Mark being able to use her lightning skills is probably those gloves. The girl felt a massive amount of anger the moment she saw Mark wearing those gloves, and she knew that Mark was not the owner of those gloves. Were the gloves actually something really impressive? I want it!

Crunch!

The sound of sand crunching under someone’s feet gave away Mark’s position, and the girl wasted no time as she turned around and slashed her sword across the space in front of her!

Woosh!

Every single tree in the vicinity was cut down as she tried to get to Mark, and the girl looked around to see if she managed to injure Mark in that tussle. There were no signs of Mark, and she started to think that maybe she heard wrong. Maybe there was an animal that moved, and she was just acting rashly! She had to calm herself. She was faster than Mark in a straight sprint. The only time that Mark managed to keep up with her was when they were moving in different directions. His ability to change direction was just as good as hers, or maybe it was even better, but in a straight blitz, she was definitely faster. She just had to pick the right moment to outpace him and finish this in one attack.

‘But what if he tanks it like all the others?’

The girl bit her tongue as this thought came to mind and she was distracted for one second as doubt crept into her heart!

“You should care more about the plants.”

“!”

The girl turned around quickly as she heard Mark’s voice from behind her, but she was not fast enough to stop the massive body shot that slammed into her ribs!

Bam!

“Grk!”

She gritted her teeth in pain as she tried her best to absorb the hit! What the fuck is that power!? This one was much stronger than the previous punches! Don’t tell me he has been holding back on me all this time!

The only thing that allowed the girl to stay on her feet was her armor that covered her midsection! It managed to absorb some of the energy from Mark’s punch, and that prevented her from getting knocked out from the punch!

But even in the midst of all that pain! Even though she felt like her stomach was about to tear apart from the sheer force of Mark’s punches! There was still a silly, stupid smile on her face! She grabbed Mark by the arm and flipped her body so that she was above him before she brought her knee down in a swing and she tried to slam it into his face!

Bam!

Mark brought his hand up and blocked the hit before he held her thigh and slammed her back against a tree!

Boom!

He threw her to the ground before he grabbed her hand and tossed her into another tree in the distance!

“RARGH!”

BOOM!

Crack!

The tree broke from the force of the hit, and she was thrown into a different tree behind the first one! Mark started to walk towards her slowly, but he felt a small sting somewhere on his arm and he looked down to see some black soot on the back of his wrist. There was a small depression in the skin there and Mark realised that it was from the girl’s sword.

She was able to try and cut me in that short time when she tried to kick me and I didn’t even notice! If not for his higher constitution, Mark understood that her sword would have cut into his body and he would’ve been bleeding all over the forest floor by now!

“Hahahahahah!”

Mark looked up as the girl’s laugh echoed through the entire forest! He watched as lightning gathered in the air above them and a massive storm began to brew as wind echoed through the region! What the fuck is she thinking of now?

“I don’t care anymore! Nothing hurts you, you fucking beast, so I don’t care anymore! I’ve cut you, hit you, thrown fucking lightning at you, and yet here you are! So I’m just going to go all out! I was saving this for someone special, and I don’t think I’m ever going to see anyone as special as you are! You definitely deserve everything that I have!”

The world quaked and echoed the massive power brewing over it as Mark felt the ground shaking from the fury of the storm. Trees were getting uprooted, and there was a massive roar from somewhere deep in the storm! It almost sounded like the storm itself was something living and conscious as it raged around both Mark and the girl!

The girl had her hand in the air, and Mark could see a determination in her eyes as she prepared to unleash her skill. She was bleeding from above her brow, and the blood was leaking down her face as she looked at Mark with an intense glare! Her armor disappeared into the wind, and Mark could sense the shift in the mana of the atmosphere. She got rid of the armor so that she would have enough mana to carry the skill properly.

Sweat was pouring from her brow, and her hand was shaking from exertion, Mark realized that this skill must be really hard for her to handle. Mark should have stopped her right there, but he didn’t want to. Mark wanted to see what she had to give. He wanted to see if she was capable of giving him one good fight or not. Although Mark did not know anything about her. He didn’t even know her fucking name because he didn’t feel like using the [True Sight] skill yet. Mark could still tell that she was not an evil person. She was just someone like him, someone who loved the thrill of the battle a little too much!

“Come on then, child of Zeus! Let me see what you’ve got!!”
