217 Life Or Death Combat

“To think you would let your guard down simply because you made some distance between your opponents. How foolish. In the end, you’re just as careless as all the other ignorant and weak humans.”

The black-horned demon uttered such cold words in disdain when he successfully landed his attack on Randy, seemingly disappointed.

The black-horned demon initially thought that this human was more interesting as he appeared to be weak, but he had strange abilities unbefitting that of a human of his level of strength.

However, as soon as the human made some distance between them, he let down his guard, which disappointed him because he expected more from him, even if the other party was an enemy he had to kill eventually.

Having lost interest, he turned to look at what he assumed to be a puppet of the human. However, he was surprised to find the ‘puppet’ no longer there.

A moment later, the black-horned demon’s gaze flickered with purple light.

‘Hoo... Not bad. I thought this scuffle of ours would’ve ended here. As I thought, you’re indeed an interesting human.’

The black-horned demon thought before he calmly turned around.

The next moment, a figure clashed with him before being propelled backward, away from the force of the shockwaves that occurred from their fists colliding.

.....

“Tsk, this failed product. I can’t even use my skills properly in this body.” The figure muttered in frustration.

This figure was Randy’s incarnation.

However, he shockingly found out just now that besides his physical abilities, he couldn’t use any energy-related skills with the incarnation body.

This situation was truly frustrating, considering that he had been relying on his newly acquired skills in this world to fight against the red-scaled demon all this time.

After all, they seemed effective against these demons. At least the light attribute-based mana attacks seemed highly effective against the red-scaled demon that he fought just now.

The black-horned demon calmly observed him: “Is that all you’ve got?”

Annoyed, Randy raised his head and loudly replied: “Of course not!”

“That body of yours seemed to be a puppet of sorts. However, it seemed that its strength is incomparable to your original body. Why do you rely on such a thing?”

“...” Incarnation Randy did not say anything, seeming lifeless as he stared blankly ahead.

A moment later, a figure casually approached the two of them in the distance.

That figure replied instead: “Obviously to buy time. What else?”

“Hm?” The black-horned demon turned his head sideways.

“Interesting. You do not appear to be hurt by my great fist attack just now.” He commented in slight surprise.

That was indeed Randy.

He seemed unharmed by the seemingly destructive punch just now. He casually strode over toward them.

At least outwardly, nothing seemed to have happened to him. But in fact, that punch just now caused his inside to churn intensely despite the armor’s passive defense property.

That was because, this time, he failed to activate his Body Strengthen skill since he had been caught off-guard.

By his estimation, even if he had activated his semi-defense skill, he wouldn’t have remained unscathed.

That was just how dangerous the previous situation was.

That black-horned demon simply did not hold back his punch at all when he attacked him.

However, the pain he felt when his intestines and other organs received slight damage made him remember something that he seemed to have neglected because he was getting used to his newly acquired skills.

As such, this time, Randy was not wielding his sword as he approached the black-horned demon. He was barehanded instead, with his fists clenched tightly.

However, if one looked closely, one would see ripples of air currents around his clenched fists at this moment.

“So you gave up your sword to fight me barehanded? Quite courageous, are we?”

“That’s right. I don’t need something that I am not familiar with to deal with someone like you.”

“How arrogant. But I will allow it, considering your confidence. It would make defeating you even more worthwhile.”

The black-horned demon said before his figure instantly disappeared on the spot.

In the distance, Randy walked a step, then also disappeared on the spot.

He reappeared a few meters in front of him, where the black-horned demon had also reappeared.

Both of them had closed the distance between them within an instant and then clashed with their fists.

Boom!!!!

There was a deafening and resounding shockwave afterward.

A turbulent wind, filled with debris, spread around them, seeming unstoppable.

One fist was ginormous in size and while the other was an incomparably tiny fist.

Despite that, none of the fists seemed to have been overwhelmed by the deafening clash between the two fighters as both fighters remained stationary as they continued to clash against each other.

The black-horned demon seemed to possess a skill or ability to increase the size of his fist to attack.

However, after clashing against Randy’s fist a few times, he felt something, causing him to frown.

“What skill are you using this time? You can even control the surrounding air pressure? As far as I remember, only those with an elemental affinity to the wind attribute should possess this level of control. However, you don’t appear to be one.”

‘Just what is this human’s origin?’

‘From that evasive teleportation spell to the holy sword techniques from the Church of light, and now this unique fist technique, which was unheard of among humans, at least based on the current intelligence we have on them.’

‘Where did he learn such spells and techniques? The Church of light? Impossible. Those guys only raise pompous weaklings that they claim to be holy knights.’

‘Furthermore, with my innate ability, I can sense that he seemed to possess more secrets and abilities that he hadn’t shown yet. If I can capture him alive, I will be able to know of such secrets.’

‘With such secrets, forget about the increase in status. I might be able to monopoly and learn of new spells devised by humans, which would be more beneficial to me than some increase in status.’

With such thoughts, the black-horned demon’s face had no change but was expectant of the answer from his opponent.

“It’s not a skill, but a technique. Well, it doesn’t matter what it is since this is what I’m more confident in.”

“Oh... Is that so?”

The black-horned demon seemed slightly disappointed to receive such a vague answer. But he did not let it bother him as he could always find out what he needed after defeating the human later.

Their fists did not stop unleashing unceasing attacks as they spoke with each other.

At this point, they had already clashed a few hundred times without losing their momentum from their initial clash.

???????????????? ???????????????????????????? ???????????????????????? ???????????????????? ???????? ????????????????????-????????????.????????????

In reality, they seemed to be picking up the pace instead.

Right now, they are fully engaged in life or death combat.
