Chapter 13: Chapter 13: The Challenge of Fighting
Benedict, who saw Imane wearing only underwear and a bra, swallowed his saliva. Imane's skin was exotic, with a slightly brownish-white colour. Her body was sexy and curvy with an E-cup bra size and straight shoulder-length blonde hair.
"Ah, shit! Why is this woman so hot?" thought Benedict, an ordinary teenage boy. Of course, his dragon stick straightened up.
"I surrender, sir," said Imane, who lowered her face as she crouched, her twin mountain cleavage visible. Benedict turned Dark Blaze back into Small Stone, moved closer to Imane, and removed his goggles.
Imane was stunned by Benedict's handsome face. She raised her head and remained silent for a while, stunned by Benedict's good looks.
"So handsome, I'm willing to be a slave to his lust, and I regret that I almost killed him," mused Imane, who had never seen a man as handsome as Benedict.
Benedict stared with sharp eyes like a hawk finding its prey.
"Why do you want to kill me?" asked Benedict.
"I'm sorry, sir, I just really hate everyone associated with the Markopoulos government. To us, Black Desert, they're just a dictatorial government that only thinks about their stomachs," replied Imane, who was still oblivious to Benedict's charms, as if she had been hypnotised.
"I'm just on a mission and also just a new student at the academy; nothing to do with the Black Dessert, and the Markopoulos government understands!" said Benedict with a sharp grin, his gaze piercing the heart.
"Yes, sir." Imane nodded slowly.
"But I have a condition for you; beat me in a fair fight, then I will swear allegiance to you, and also, this body and soul will be yours. I will also give you all the important information; if you lose, give me your glasses; how about it?" challenged Imane with a sly smile.
Benedict held his chin, thinking about Imane's challenge.
"Aren't you going to break your promise?" Benedict asked back.
"I promise, if I lie, you will kill me right now," said Imane.
"All right, I accept your challenge," Benedict replied with a flat look. Imane, dressed only in yellow underwear and bra, grabbed her weapon from the storage watch called Rod Spear, a spear that held a dagger and chain at the end.
Benedict did not cast a dark blaze and only fought with his bare hands.
"Begin!" shouted Benedict and Imane simultaneously. Imane darted quickly to deliver a stab at Benedict.
Benedict avoided each of Imane's spear thrusts by simply tilting his head and body.
"You're fast too, but unfortunately, this kind of attack isn't enough to hurt me," Benedict teased to provoke Imane. In combat, it's not just muscle and strength that are relied upon, but also a strategy to throw off your opponent's focus, such as making them lose their cool by provoking their anger.
"Don't just dodge, you idiot! Fight me!" snapped Imane, who continued to stab and slash at Benedict, but none of her attacks managed to hit Benedict's skin.
"Manipulation molecule, Adamantium!"
Benedict's entire body transformed into Adamantium, a type of silvery-white metal and instantly grasped the tip of Imane's spear.
CRACK!
The tip of the Rod Spear cracked; Benedict squeezed it and made it shatter into pieces.
"What? No way!" Imane rounded her eyes and dropped her jaw. It was because the Rod Spear was made of a special metal stone with diamond-level molecules that Benedict could easily destroy. Benedict, assisted by Horus, identified that Imane's spear weapon was made of diamond metal, so Benedict increased the hardness of his body to destroy Imane's, Rod Spear.
Benedict immediately punched Imane in the stomach and made her vomit blood; Benedict, when fighting, his eyes turned red now. Benedict's soul is controlled by his power or his other self.
QUAKK! Imane vomited blood; Benedict immediately grabbed Imane's neck and lifted her, "Hahahaha. Now you're helpless."
Benedict laughed wickedly; Imane had lost consciousness.
[Warning]
[Warning]
[Master's mind, you are overloaded and losing consciousness, immediately deactivate the entire power]
Horus gave a warning, but Benedict ignored it and threw Imane and crashed her into the rocks.
BOOM! Imane's body slammed into the rocks to create a boulder.
"Destroyed." Imane lay on the ground helpless. Benedict stuck out his tongue, swiping at the corner of his lips as if feeling a sense of pleasure at seeing Imane's helpless body.
"Andromeda chain!" Imane got up and removed the chain from the tip of her spear. The chain tipped the spear blade and instantly bound Benedict tightly.
"Hahahaha, you think these chains will lock me down." Benedict's body stiffened as he groaned and broke all the chains made of diamonds.
PRANG!
"Huff, huff, huff. I'm unlucky today! The legacy of the Rod clan, huh? The Rod Spear was just destroyed like this," Imane muttered under her breath and knelt on one knee, resting on the 50 cm remnant of the Rod Spear.
Imane was already helpless with a body full of wounds; she leaned her body on the remaining rocks due to the impact of her own body being hit by Benedict. Imane had resigned herself to being finished off or tortured by Benedict.
"Where's your courage and strength? What a bore!" sneered Benedict, pulling Imane's hair, his mouth filled with blood.
"I-I admit defeat," Imane stammered back. Benedict wiped the blood from Imane's mouth and punched her hard in the stomach, making her cry in pain.
"Argh!" screeched Imane with a limp body.
Imane vomited much blood from her mouth.
QUAAK!
Imane's face was already deathly pale; Benedict continued to beat Imane continuously. Without realising it, dawn had broken, witnessing Benedict's brutality.
[The system takes forceful action to make you faint]
ZRRT!
Benedict's body was electrified with high voltage and knocked unconscious. Benedict released his grip on Imane's neck and fell to the ground on his back.
[The system will restart your mind. When you wake up, you will be calm again]
Horus continued to give warning messages. Imane herself lies limp with many wounds on her body. Benedict left Imane battered. Imane's pretty face is now covered in bruises from Benedict's rampage.
"What a horrible young man; it's a good thing he fainted. But why did he faint so suddenly?" Imane thought with a questioning look on her face.
Then the woman continued, "It's likely this man ran out of The Veil's energy."
An hour later, Benedict woke up; Imane was still sitting with her body propped up half-naked. Imane was badly injured; Benedict was shocked to see Imane battered; he felt he had done nothing to Imane.
"Sorry, Imane, who did this to you?" asked Benedict with a questioning look.
"Don't you realise you did this to me, hmph! What a cruel man." Imane snorted in annoyance, puffed out her cheeks and looked away, her hands folded in the centre of her chest.
Benedict lost his memory of brutally beating Imane. As an apology, Benedict gave Imane 3 bottles of healing potion and a watch containing Galdorien School's cyborg armour suit.
