Chapter 438: Power of the Fist

Like a giant sidewinding inch-worm, the man swung himself forward at high speed. At the same time, Sage was on all fours like some sort of biological siege weapon. Hed dug himself into the ground to stand like a toad and in only a few seconds hed prepared a second attack. His mouth dropped open again and released another laser-like air thrust. The debut release of this chapter happened at Ñøv€l-B1n.

As soon as Sages mouth started to move, the freak handed Fishers arm swung in front of his body. There was a thunderous boom and the ball of compressed air was smashed apart. The force involved was so immense that it created a localized explosion, blasting out to either side and destroying a fan shaped swathe of the buildings and street. The area behind the man was clear of any further destruction, showing that the giant arm had completely stopped the attack. The giant fist held its position as the massive wind that followed in the wake of the air ball took a moment to catch up. It had previously carved a channel into the street and now it made it deeper and wider. It looked quite like Sage was carving a canal into the middle of the ruined city from the progress so far.

The second attack was stopped near completely, with only a few scrapes and bruises caused by the debris whipping back at the man from the sides and back. Yet, there was still distance between them. The giant arm immediately started grabbing and swinging the mans body closer, but there was still time for another three attacks. A few blocks of the already ruined was nearly leveled from the meeting of a giant fist and hurricane like winds. Between attacks, Sage began to flee. That giant arm seemed just as powerful as it was large, but it also drastically reduced the mans speed. Most of his focus was on preparing the next attack, but even then he was only slightly outpaced by the slowly approaching enemy. Using Foresight, he took only the best possible shots, but somehow that giant fist was able to block most of them. Only when Sage finally got another direct hit on the tenth shot did he stop running. Hed stuck the man on the inner side of the calf, tearing out a large portion of the muscles on the lower leg. With the mans other thigh also being injured, both legs were now compromised and Sages trap was set.

Desperation only truly began to set in when he realized how badly he was sweating. His breathing had become labored. The misty air felt heavy and clung to his skin like he was wading through a swamp. His leather pants felt like they were channeling a small river down his legs, and his upper body felt like hed just climbed out of a tub. He tried to calm himself down, but the sweat never stopped pouring.

That mist was the same one Sage used against the Yin Yang Twins. It was a poison hed developed that he named Paradise Nightmare. It looked like a misty dream world from afar, and made one feel theyd entered a place of high humidity like a tropical paradise. The problem of course being that it caused living things to dehydrate themselves to death from the constant and incessant sweating. It was a result from mixing Guan Zhenyans high level poisons so not even Nascent Souls had a chance at resisting it. It was easy to create in huge volume and was heavier than air, sinking into and staying in low spots. The downside being that it had to be breathed in and was only effective for a short while. Sage had torn off the mans mask to expose him to the poison and injured his legs to keep him from escaping.

The situation didnt look good for him in the real world, but the battle was far from being decided. As they worked on turning the ruined buildings into small bits of rubble, there was another fight going on inside Sages Spiritual Sea. The ghostly smoke in the shape of a skull had undergone a metamorphosis just as the man on the outside had. The cape of smoke had surrounded the skull and started to contract. It formed into a sphere and shrunk smaller and smaller until there was only a giant black bead left in its place. Then that bead flattened into a coin-like shape and expanded into a ring. Violet smoke poured out of the ring and took the shape of a huge hand wearing the black ring on one of its fingers. The purple smoke hand grew a wrist and forearm, then an elbow and upper arm. At the shoulder the smoke lost cohesion, creating a giant ghostly arm with no body attached. That huge fist clenched its fingers and smashed its fist against the wall of Sages mental labyrinth.
