Chapter 14: Scuffle in the streets
'To think I can send a full grown man flying several meters. Also these guys are slow, is this because of my magic power?" He thought
This came as quite the shock. He knew that the magic energy had been tempering his body, but hadn't expected that it had strengthened him to this level. Also the magic eyes allowed him to see clearer and farther, what he didn't expect was that it enhanced his instincts and reflexes. In a battle being able to see your opponents every move was extremely important, be cause only then could you react properly. So what if you were strong? If you can't even see your opponent you wouldn't be able to defend yourself from their attacks and you had an even lesser chance of being able to land an attack.
Just as Drake was kicking the spear wielder, the other man lunged forward to strike him. Drake gracefully turned and grabbed the hand that was holding the steel baton with his left as it was coming down. He twisted the arm and bent the wrist causing the man to loosen his grip and the steel baton dropped to the ground, Drake raised his leg kneeing him in the stomach. As the man folded over Drake released the hand he had been holding and brought his right fist down in a hammer fist to the back of his head, knocking him out.
That's three!
The first man that had ended up on his back was up and rushing at Drake. So he stepped to the side and the man ran into one of the remaining men that had been running at him with his spear, this guy had just come out of the crowd. Stepping up to the two men that were still a bit disordered, Drake grabbed the spear as it was thrust at him and side kicked the other man in the stomach causing the man to bend over losing his breakfast, he vomited in the street.
The man tried to reclaim his spear, but no matter how much he pulled it wouldn't budge. it was like Drake's grip was an immovable vice.
Drake pulled the spear out of the shocked man's hands only to return the butt into his stomach making him double over before raising it and bringing It down on the back of his head. He stepped up to the two trying to untangle themselves and struck one on the temple and kicking the other in the head.
"And stay down!"
Drake raised his head to look around only to see that everyone was starring at him. As expected, humans were special creatures. So special that when something happened whether good or bad the first thing that came to their minds wasn't to run away, or help. No their first instinct was to watch. Some idiots even activated the video record of their Sky links.
After all, it had nothing to do with them.
These people had been around from the start to end watching the whole skirmish but not one of them tried to lend a hand. Listening to the whispers of the crowd, he frowned at the amount of attention he was attracting. So he turned and was about to leave.
