Chapter 68: Sparring (2)
An Ogre seen from a close distance was something else. He was breathing heavily and his steel skin shone with a mysterious luster. I felt a strong heat from him, perhaps his body temperature was higher than a human’s.
However, even when a giant fist was swung down on me, I still didn’t flinch.
Humanoid creatures are nothing compared to giant dogs the size of food stalls. The ogre’s flesh squeaked. Fittingly, his shocking visage contorted. “Impossible… this is… impossible…”
“Not bad, Champion.”
I couldn’t just evade his fist. His iron-colored fist, that was one size larger than me, contained tremendous strength in it. However, while Ogres seem to be very powerful – they still aren’t the enemies of vampires, who have grown stronger by drinking only the finest quality blood.
His fist caught in the palm of my hand creaked. Blood vessels appeared on the face of the ogre with bared sharp fangs, making him look tense. However, even with all that force, he couldn’t make me budge. I’m still fine. He might be twice my size in everything, including thickness of his arms, weight and physique, but I’m still stronger. I divert the fist I caught to the side. His giant body grandly loses its footing. I try to land a blow on my enemy’s body, but my body is thrown in the air with a violent impact. I feel my bones break and my flesh twist. After drawing a high arc in the air, I somehow manage to land on the ground.
I was kicked in my solar plexus, but I did not feel much pain. I also managed to land a blow on his chest. My wound has already healed too. “A-aghhhhhhhhhhhhh!”
The ogre roars and kicks the ground with force, but perhaps the blow I did to his body dealt a lot of damage, as his movements aren’t as sharp as before and his center of gravity seems to have shifted too. Looks like my durability and regeneration abilities are better than his.
We exchange fists head on, just like he had done with another ogre a while ago. I could avoid his punches, but there were no real reasons to. Ogres have claws and fangs and their fists are so boney, they’re closer to a blunt weapon, but they’re not made of silver. I only played along because this seemed to be their way of fighting.
