Evolving Infinitely From An E-Class Hero-Chapter 51: Throne Breaker

We charged at eachother with great speed, and as if we had read eachothers mind, we performed the same attack in unison.

Both our fist met eachothers cheeks with incredible force, his punch sending ripples through the muscles and flesh of my face.

Blood trickled down my nostrils and I glanced up to see that Sherman had the same bleeding nose.

After that violent exchange, the boss room has fallen silent. Sherman’s bioengineered form still stood strong and firm as we both descended gently to the ground, sizing eachother.

Thud, thud, thud, thud.

I could feel my heart pounding heavily in my chest, blood rushing with adrenaline as every fiber of my anticipated for the next strike.

He jogged from side to side, each bounce heavy as it shook the ground just a tee-bit.

My eyes never left him— Sherman, could very well be the strongest fore I have ever faced till date.

He wasn’t just strong and daring with all his bio enhancements, he had a strong sense of confidence and arrogance even as his army were wiped out by Shadow Girl, evidently putting him in a disadvantageous position.

All his tactics and attacks were all too unfamiliar to me and the Forever Core, I harboured the idea of him hitting me with a strong enough force that the armor cannot adapt to and it would cause an overload leading to my demise.

If I hesitated, I’d lose this fight.

One thing I know is that there no way I would back down with such an extraordinary opportunity to evolve.

"You’ve done well," Sherman’s voice boomed, he sounded as if he was mocking me and also feeling triumphant.

"But this ends here. When I’m done with you, I’ll finish off the rest of you..."

He finished while glancing at the rest of the strike team heroes and Shadow Girl.

He talked and has a lot of confidence for someone who had no other form of protection whatsoever.

His army— gone.

His impervious shield— gone.

He was vulnerable now, he knew I was closing in even though he had nothing but raw power and his engineered enhancements to rely on.

But I wasn’t worried. 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺

I smirk a bit. Just a tiny crack. All this, the confidence and arrogance was a facade— a weakness I could very much exploit. But the fight wasn’t over yet, it wasn’t enough to defeat him. I had to make him regret coming to planet earth.

Whoosh!

The jet thrusters on his back flared, shooting him up in the air. He was fast, faster than before.

I stiffened myself and poised for action. My muscles coiled and tensed up, preparing for my next attack.

"Come out...", I intoned.

Whoooooshhhh!

In the blink of an eye, I was airborne.

My feet barely touched the ground before I launch myself into the air. The world around me seemed to slow down to a blurr as I closed the gap between us.

Sherman’s eyes grew wider upon seeing my golden-black after image disappear from where I originally was.

I was already at his level, closing in on his position with relentless speed.

"Nrggghhhh!!!!"

With a roar, I aimed for him, my gauntlet charging.

The air around us seemed to crackle with energy as I poured a substantial amount of energy into my attack.

He fired another bio blast, but it was a desperate shot. His energy reserves were beginning to dry out faster than he realized.

The blast whizzed past me, just a fraction of a hairs inch off, but I was already too close for him to react.

"Tch! Too slow, you big doughnut!!!".

"Argghhh!"

Whizzzzz!

Whizzzzz!

Whizzzzz!

I twisted in mid air dodging his barrage of attacks with ease. The blasts came countinous, one after the other but they barely grazed my armor.

Fuuushh!

I pushed faster, the world slowed down even further as I honed in on Sherman’s core. My gauntlet flared with energy as I concentrated every ounce of my power into the strike.

Sherman’s eyes widened in realization— too late. There was no way he could escape from this.

"You’re done!"

The world around me snapped back into focus as my fist collided with his bioengineered chest. Energy coursed from the Forever Core and through my torso and into my arms gauntlet giving me some kind of energetic pulse punch.

The pulse hit with a resounding crash, sending shockwaves through the air.

Boom!

Sherman spun uncontrollably in mid air as he plummeted to the ground, landing with another thunderous sound that created a crater were he landed.

I landed gracefully on the ground, my feet sinking into the earth as I stared at the wreckage. My arm was still smoking from the energy released.

I wasted no more time, he was bound to rise again and I don’t have the luxury to let that happen.

Sherman groaned, his bioengineered body starting to twitch as he attempted to regain control. He lifted himself from the rumble, his parts whirring and clicking as he steadied himself.

The location I hit him was cracked, scorched even, but he wasn’t done yet.

"You’re strong," he growled, a smirk tugging at the corner of his jaws.

"Shut up, idiot..." I snatched back, snapping my right arm towards him.

"If you’ve noticed, I don’t fancy talking while I fight..."

Whirring.

"Incinerate.."

Fussshhhh!

Sherman powered up his jet thrusters again, propelling him into the air once more.

My attack missed him by a wide margin, and it went straight to destroyed what was left of his throne.

I raised an eyebrow, ’What? Is that so...’

"You fly alot for someone who is running out of firepower!"

His energy levels were dripping, but he was still dangerous, I could see the desperation in his eyes — like he had more tricks, or maybe more shields.

"Come out!"

Boom!

I left the ground again whilst firing shot and direct pulses of golden energy towards him.

He used the quick, flexible nature of his thrusters to weave and dodge his way around the blasts like some kind of mosquito.

But his luck ran out when one of my blast grazed his jet pack slightly but still enough to cause damage.

Soon after he began to loose control and plummet to the ground, now there was no way he would dodge anything I throw at him while falling to the ground at this speed.

Fuuushh!

I thurst towards him with great speed to catch up and in the blink of an eye, I was directly above him.

Staring at his large ten inches tusk, I folded my wrist really tight as the distance between the both of us reduced by a great margin.

"Alright, you’re finished!"
