Nodding his head, Lucifer said, "You'll need to keep your wits about you. Because if you don't last more than ten moves, I'll kill you."
The expression on Ether's face changed drastically!
Twenty years ago, his prowess had been unmatched throughout the North. Now, Lucifer was discussing the possibility that he couldn't last past ten moves in the upcoming fight?
How could he take that lying down?
"Then here I come!" he growled.
The moment he had finished, he whizzed towards Lucifer like a speeding bullet and threw a punch at Lucifer's face.
However, Lucifer brushed aside his fist and commented coldly, "Your speed is adequate. But you lack strength."
The expression on Ether's face changed drastically once again as he delivered a kick towards Lucifer.
Yet, his attack was blocked by Lucifer's arm!
Thus!
The whump of the collision echoed throughout the training grounds.
Ether staggered a few steps backward from the impact. Lucifer, however, remained rooted to the spot.
Instead of following up with a move of his, Lucifer commented, "That kick had the power. But it was far from satisfactory."
"Show me everything you've got. Otherwise, prepare to die!"
Ether was stunned. He actually managed to block my kick so easily?
It was only then did Ether realize that Lucifer was truly as powerful as he was rumored to be. If he didn't get it together, he really might not last more than ten moves!
"Ha!" Ether roared and leaped towards
Lucifer once again as he released a barrage of blows and kicks.
However, Lucifer held his ground and parried all his attacks. Soon, they reached the tenth move.
"Time to get serious!" Lucifer said.
After that, his right fist sped forward as he barked, "Kirin's Fists!"
Lucifer's fist was so fast that the air around it started whistling. It seemed as though there was a flaming Kirin charging towards Ether.
"Take this!" Ether cried as he sent a blow flying in return.
