Chapter 98: Clash.
A Level 2 Ascended Genome, and one with a transformation ability that grants him physical enhancement. Obviously, a Level 0 had no place fighting him, but that’s only if both were aiming to win the fight, and in this case, neither had any intention of doing so.
The furry bastard was basically a super-cop and would likely aim to restrain him. Dante was betting on that to try something, which was a pretty dumb idea, since he would be incriminating himself even more, but for some reason he wasn’t thinking straight right now.
Keeping his eyes pinned on the hero, Dante didn’t falter and timed his movements and held his hand up just as a white fist came at him. It collided with the back of his hand and veered off path, barely missing him.
Not paying the pain any mind, he moved the same hand aside and pushed the second punch thrown at him. Taken aback, Werewolf went for a kick, but his foot was blocked just as the motion started.
Several blows were thrown, but each was blocked, parried, and deflected. Werewolf was the faster between the two, but it didn’t look like that from the side. Anyone watching would assume they were on the same level, and those with good eyes would tell you the red-haired youth was far more skilled, but both would be wrong.
The reason Dante managed to stand his guard was very simple: Werewolf was holding back. The kick he landed on him when he first arrived made it obvious. A Level 2 could’ve broken Dante’s Basic human arms with ease, rendering all of his efforts to soften the blow useless.
If the furry hero hadn’t pulled back his punches, or in this case, his kicks, Dante would’ve ended up with two broken arms and a fractured rib or two. The blow did hurt, though, and Dante wasn’t one to let debts go unpaid.
Having remained on the defensive from the start, Dante was slowly pushed back. Werewolf’s strikes were growing stronger and faster, too, showing that he was starting to take the fight a bit more seriously after failing to land a single hit.
That’s why Dante decided it was time to change tactics.
