51 CHAPTER - 51 - HELLISH STRENGTH OF TEOCIPACTLI : PART ③

Jae-Hyuk always thought himself to be inferior than others. He was not really inferior when compared to his other friends. He might be a little bit weaker from them, however, from an average slayer's perspective, he was a lot strong and a well established slayer. There is a saying that 'time heals everything'. Kyung-Soon wanted Jae-Hyuk to believe it. Even though he cannot do much for his team, there are some situations with only he can solve. Along with inferiority, he was also a little bit of coward. He did not wanted to face his real self, according to him, his weak and pathetic self. He had already faced a lot of difficulties in his childhood. The one to save him was his beloved Kyung-Soon. This time,

"... It is my duty to save her!"

Jae-Hyuk mumbled to himself as he stopped channeling his divine Gi into the ground. As soon as the divine Gi got stopped to be channeled, the uplifting which was created by Jae-Hyuk's Earth manipulation magic, destroyed into bits.

Teocipactli looked at him and said,

"Hmm? Looks like you still want to have a fight? So... I hope you are ready for this!"

He rushed towards Jae-Hyuk at a high speed. Jae-Hyuk was not completely prepared. In hurry, he created small boulders and a stone armour from the ground.

As Teocipactli got closer towards Jae-Hyuk, he screamed,

"Child... Do you really think that a stone armour would protect you from me?!"

As soon as Teocipactli reached Jae-Hyuk, he started raining punches at him. Each with a well placed accuracy and strength. Jae-Hyuk defend himself from each punch by his stone armour. However, with each punch, it became weaker and Jae-Hyuk had to repair it immediately by channeling his divine Gi into the ground through his leg and absorbing the earth's power and assimilating it in his whole body, thus, repairing the armour. However, it was getting tougher to repair with each strike as Jae-Hyuk also needed to defend himself along with repairing the armour. He started sweating. When Teocipactli saw this tense expression on his face, he lowered his guard a little and said,

"Hey-Hey! What happened, my son?!!"

"*SHAAA...*

*CRASH!!!*

*BAM!!!*

Suddenly, on of the boulders which were created by Jae-Hyuk, flew towards Teocipactli at an immense speed. Teocipactli did not noticed the boulder which was heading towards his direction as he was busy taunting Jae-Hyuk. The boulder crashed with his head. The impact was so strong that Teocipactli flew a few metres away with its huge blow. When he fell on the ground, the ground got trampled because of his huge body.

As Jae-Hyuk got freed from his punches, he stood straight and his armour fell down bit by bit. He smiled a little and said,

"Did you really thought that I would only defend against a deity like you?! Hah! I used my divine Gi to attack you with this boulder! Why did you think that I created those boulders? Anything a human does in a battle isn't meaningless. While repairing my armour, I channeled some of my divine Gi into the ground at a high pressure. I hope that you know one of the basic rules of our internal energy, or divine Gi, we can bend it however we want! However, we need to make sure that the object on which we are trying use our Gi force is also related with Gi. If we want, then we can even merge our Gi with the object which contains amounts of the similar type of Gi. After that, we would be able to even control that object. That's how I crushed you!"

While saying that, he thought to himself,

"That was so fu*#in' cool! I've always wanted to that s#*it!"

Suddenly, Teocipactli started laughing.

"GHAGHAGHAGHAGHAGHA!!!"

Jae-Hyuk felt a bit awkward seeing Teocipactli's creepy laugh. After laughing, Teocipactli said,

"Are you an idiot? Boy... Why the heck are you telling your tricks to your opponent... Keuk!"

Suddenly, Teocipactli started coughing up blood.

Jae-Hyuk was also exhausted as his divine Gi was running low inside his body. He fell on the ground and wasn't able to get up. Suddenly, Jae-Hyuk heard the same female voice which was heard by Schwartz after he defeated Nyx.

"Kim-Jae-Hyuk and Yoon-Kyung-Soon, you both have won the battle of death or life against Teocipactli, the holy Lissamphibia. Now, you both will be teleported to the relaxation room. Any type of injury which was sustained in this battle will be automatically healed upon your teleportation."

After hearing those words, Jae-Hyuk felt relieved. He thought to himself,

"This was a freakin' exhausting battle... He would've killed me if I've been jus' a little careless..."

He turned his neck and found that he had fallen just beside Teocipactli. He asked Teocipactli,

"You... You didn't used your full power against me, did you?"

Teocipactli replied with a smile,

"That is... True..."

Jae-Hyuk asked him again,

"And why's that?"

Teocipactli replied,

"I... Wanted to fight against Navertozwein... But I wasn't able to convince my teammates... If you were to die here, then... Your team would have a really tough time in slaying that Navertozwein..."

Jae-Hyuk looked at the sky while speaking softly,

"That means... My team needs me..."

MEANWHILE...

Razel had travelled through the land of Portitor. As far as the land could stretch, or the eyes could see, there was blood everywhere. The river of Styx was even more crimson than normal. There were also bones and body matter spread across the land. In the middle of the land stood Razel. He was searching something through the body matter which was lying across the land. While searching for that particular object, he thought to himself,

"Aah... Now I've done it... I shouldn't had killed Kharon in such a brutal way... I didn't wanted to kill him, I just wanted to finish this with a simple conversation. But... He decided to attack me and that's why... I decided to burst him!"

Suddenly, he found something shining brightly near a huge rock which was a few metres away from him. That thing was kept on that huge rock, or more like placed on it. He walked towards the rock. But, before walking, he checked the surroundings of the rock with his demonic eye. He found no signs of danger. After looking at that shining object, he shouted,

"Found it!"

He rushed towards to the rock and picked up that object. It was a sword's sheathe. The same sheathe which was brought here by Vanzel as his trial of participating in the Khaos tournament. Razel took out a rope from a backpack which was kept near the ground. He tied the sheath around his waist with the help of that rope. He hung his backpack and said,

"Guess the sheathe's mine now!"
