“So you have a special physique huh? Did not see that coming. Swordsmanship, Ego Fire, Special physique… What else did you receive from your past self?” I asked Corey as I soothed the area where Corey’s punch landed. After Anna Corey is the only one that has managed to hurt me despite my Viltronian thick skin.

“That’s not what you should be worrying about right now. My close combat is not as proficient as my Swordsmanship but I want to feel your bones break up close so I decided to go with my fist. Your sins towards me and my mother are too many. Let me wash them away with my fists.” blabbering weird s.h.i.t Corey once again dashed towards me at full throttle. This time I was prepared having activated the southern watch combat arts card beforehand, my personal combat experience was very shallow. So I had to depend on the card to fight Corey.

Seeing incoming Corey, I too darted towards her planning to engage her. Defending was not my style, now that I had tasted Corey’s punch I had to give some of my own to her. Seeing come at her Corey threw a punch at me.

I caught the punch with my hand but Corey did not stop there she aimed her right knee at my crotch. I caught the knee with my free hand. Putting weight on Corey’s knee and her fist I jumped and head-b.u.t.ted Corey right on her nose. And then landed back on my feet. Corey moved a few steps backwards in a daze as blood started to drip from her nose.

“Good one” Corey complimented, whipping the blood with the back of her hand. Special physique or not nose is always a sensitive area. And Corey’s red eyes and b.l.o.o.d.y nose was the evidence. But this did not stop her, she once again attacked me. Corey is fast, I will give her that her combat experience is no near to beating the southern watch combat art card.

No matter how fast Corey threw her punches and kicks I could dodge and counter them with help of southern watch combat arts which brought out the potential of the Viltronian physique meant to battle and war. Seeing me dodge all of her punches and even counter some of her moves. Corey jumped back creating a distance between me and her.

“Warlord Dance ” Corey summoned her grimoire and activated a close combat card. Despite inheriting her past self’s memories Corey was as inexperienced as me in any form of combat, as she was not Corey Park but Corey Bright. Learning her lesson Corey decided to stop being c.o.c.ky and

With the help of the combat card, Corey’s moves became faster and nimble. She finally started landing her punches. Which was bad news for me. Though viltronian defence is strong Corey’s punches were fast and heavy, they hurt like h.e.l.l.

Both I and Corey had a special physique and an A-rank Combat Arts card but I was the losing end. There can only be two reasons for this,

1. My Viltronian physique was weaker compared to Corey’s special physique.

2. My Combat arts card was not as good as Corey’s combat arts card.

In terms of Physique, I was dominating Corey because my physique was powered by 4 times refined soul energy. No matter what cheat Corey had she could not gain the mutated soul energy I gained through my mutated soul. If my physique was not lacking then what’s left is the combat arts card.

Southern Watch Combat Arts Card’s full potential can only be unearthed when it is used in team fights with allies equipping similar cards. While Corey’s combat arts card completely focuses on increasing users’ combat power. Despite having an advantage in physique I was taking a lot of hits because of my lacking technique and combat experience.

“Barrage, Iron defence” Activating two skills simultaneously Corey discarded her defence and touched on attacking me. I noticed that the speed behind Corey’s punches had increased considerably. While guarding myself with my hands I tried to attack Corey’s legs. I was able to land a low kick to her leg but her legs were as solid as an iron beam and did not budge to my attack. But I continued to attack them and the second time I was able to do some considerable damage by breaking Corey’s dance and throwing her off balance. Taking this as an opportunity I started to attack staggering Corey stopping her from perfecting her stance to defend against my punches.

…

Corey was aiming to suppress Wyatt with her pa.s.sive ability Double back. This means as long as she can continuously land more than 4 punches, each of her punches will carry 8 times the strength of her basic punch. Therefore she activated ‘Barrage’ and ‘Iron defence’ so that she can solely focus on attacking Wyatt while leaving her defence to ‘Iron defence’. But she did not expect Wyatt’s physique to be so durable allowing him to endure her punches while he attacked her completely unguarded legs. Throwing her off balance and giving Wyatt an opening to launch a siege on her while she was defenceless and yet trying to find her balance.
