Chapter 138: I Want To Win
Goliath’s armour shattered at the chest and blood gushed out. His axe having completed its slash, William failed to stop his own momentum and collided into Goliath. The two rolled and rolled till they were able to lift themselves up.
Distance was made.
For Goliath, there was no time to recover. Nikolai pounced at him.
"Blazing Fury Combo!"
Clang! Clang! Clang!
Blood dripping, Goliath struggled to deflect the punches of his opponent. The comfort that once navigated his movements were gone.
Bam!
’Finally!’
A clean punch to the cheek. Goliath’s health bar officially hit the red zone and he dropped to one knee.
William grinned, his hold on his axe weakening. By calling for Advanced Flow of Mana in his head, he was able to blast himself with mana to the point that it made his head dizzy. Whenever he attempted to summon mana on his own with no System assistance, it felt like he was dipping his toes into the ocean. He was only touching a tiny droplet of his true potential. By calling for it, with the assistance of the System, he entered a temporary Super Saiyan state. Like Goku on Namek going Super Saiyan, he was activating something he did not fully comprehend. He was doing it because the System put it in his skill list, not because he actually understood the principles behind it.
Regardless of how momentary it was, regardless of the headache he was feeling, it was a state he needed to learn to control. The fear of losing control of himself and hurting others, especially those close to him, was a valid excuse, yes, though one hidden behind another fear of his. The fear of moving on. The fear of becoming an adult in this strange world. He didn’t want to accept that he was growing up. He didn’t want to accept the consequences of his actions.
