Ex rank talent Awakening: 100\% Dodge rate-Chapter 105 - : REAWAKENING

Kite looked at Brian, a smug smile on his face. "It seems you no longer have the ability to continue our fight. I was kind of enjoying our little battle, but I guess this is where we draw the curtain." His claws elongated as he thrust his arm, planning to stab Brian, but Stagnant Water teleported at the last moment, blocking the attack.

"Tsk, pest! Know your place," Tail growled, attacking Stagnant Water with his four arms.

Stagnant Water felt the strain of defending against four arms while having to protect someone. He was barely holding up, his breath erratic.

Boom! He was sent flying once more by the other demon knight.

"I had everything under control, Kite," Tail growled.

"You were wasting so much time, and time is essentially what we lack now. An order from Viscount Zert has been received, so let's wrap this up quickly, shall we?"

Kite refused to back down, insistent on fighting alongside Tail.

"Very well then, this one's mine," Tail pointed at Brian.

"Guess I'll have to go for that one," Kite smiled, running toward Stagnant Water, who forced himself to his feet.

"That kick packed a lot of punch. You could have gone easy on me, man," Stagnant Water complained.

"My bad. My mum demanded I never hold back against my enemy."

"Wait, you have a mum?" Stagnant Water asked, honestly surprised.

"Did I just come into this world from thin air?" Kite was getting pissed, already holding a grudge against Stagnant Water.

"My bad, I thought you came from a tree as a fruit or underground. The thought of you having parents didn't cross my mind. So you have a dad too? Did they ever try to eat you?..."

Stagnant Water forced himself to shut up, blocking a kick from Kite.

"What the hell, man?"

"Say one more thing, and I swear I'll bury you twelve feet below," Kite was extremely vicious and angry. The only thought in his head was to rip Stagnant Water apart.

Kite moved like a cheetah, his speed overwhelming. Stagnant Water could barely react, dodging and teleporting purely on instinct. Even that required immense concentration from his already exhausted mind.

Stagnant Water barely dodged the roundhouse kick thrown by Kite, then jumped to avoid the sweeping kick aimed at his legs, but he couldn't avoid the kick that connected with his chin. Kite had used his hands as support on the ground to shift his weight while delivering the blow. Stagnant Water crashed to the ground once more, his HP dangerously low.

He quickly teleported away from the ground just as Kite stomped on the spot where he had fallen. Stagnant Water reappeared beside Brian, blocking an attack from Tail, but was soon sent flying by Kite.

"How dare you protect someone when you're fighting against me?" Kite growled, feeling extremely displeased, believing Stagnant Water was looking down on him.

"Hah," Stagnant Water got up once more, extremely tired. His stamina had somewhat recovered from drinking a stamina regeneration potion, but his mental fatigue was overwhelming, and there was no way to recover from it. "I guess my unbeaten streak ends today," he muttered, teleporting to Brian, still willing to make his final stand.

"Stagnant Water, teleport away. I'll cover you. We both don't need to die foolishly. I know you can escape, but you're staying because of me. I can't afford to let us both die together," Brian tapped Stagnant Water's shoulder, gripping his sword tightly, refusing to back down.

"Tsk, trying to act cool. How lame," Stagnant Water stayed, unwilling to leave a comrade behind.

"Two fools. You're on your last leg, and yet you still believe you can fight against us?" Tail asked arrogantly.

"You talk big for someone who was beaten even after boosting his strength. What do you think will happen now that you no longer have any boosts?" Stagnant Water shot back.

"You bastard!" Tail shouted, charging at them.

Supporting himself with his sword, Brian refused to cower. He knew the chances were slim, and he probably wouldn't be able to put up much of a fight, but he still refused to back down and chose to fight to the bitter end.

Brian blocked a kick from Kite with his sword, his arms feeling like petrified stone. But he pressed on, not showing a sign of pain on his face. Stagnant Water teleported behind Kite, stabbing at his unguarded back, but he was forced to teleport away before landing a hit, as Tail stabbed at him with his claws.

"Oh, look what we have here! You only have two arms now? What happened to the others? I guess we weren't the only ones tired," Stagnant Water observed.

"Shut up!" Tail shouted, attacking Stagnant Water, who fluidly dodged.

Kite attacked Stagnant Water at the spot he dodged to. Stagnant Water tried teleporting but realized he couldn't—his stamina was insufficient. He braced himself for the hit, but a timely block by Brian saved him from Kite's spinning kick.

Brian's hands were shaky, his brain extremely fatigued. He felt sore all over, his eyes demanding to close, but he forced himself to stay awake. The mental exhaustion was like a mighty ocean seeking to drown him, but he fought on. Stagnant Water, too, held on. The two of them defended against Kite and Tail together, moving in perfect sync.

"I must hand it to you, you surely are strong. Perhaps this would have been an enjoyable match if you weren't so tired, but we can't wait for you to catch your breath. We have jobs to do, so let's call it a day," Kite said, his legs glowing with a greenish hue.

"This is it!!" he shouted, disappearing from Stagnant Water and Brian's field of view. He reappeared in the sky, spinning rapidly, then threw a kick mid-air. Several energy balls shot toward Stagnant Water and Brian from the greenish glow.

Stagnant water watched the energy balls falling towards them with a bitter smile on his face, accepting their end.
