[57]Rating Game 4

Blood splashed through the air as Riser's head flew along with it. Behind his collapsing body, Otto looked at him with shock on his face. He never thought Riser would cut off his own head to prevent petrification.

Originally, he was going to finish the fight quickly while Welt played around with Riser's pierage, but the plan has changed now. Riser's head, still mid-air, began to regenerate at a fast speed. Bones, tendons, muscles—every part of him was built like brand new.

Riser now had steady ground and was about to counter immediately, but his face was grabbed and thrown into the air by Otto. The last thing he saw before he was thrown was the twisted smile plastered on Otto's face.

*Fwooooom*

*BOOM*

Like a cannonball, he was sent blasting through a tall building and sent to the other side.

"Fuck!" Riser muttered as he felt the pain, still mid-air as that was how hard he was thrown.

"Hahaha!! Is that all you got?!" Otto appeared close to him in a flash while laughing maniacally.

"Grrrr, don't underestimate me, Human!!!!" Bringing his hands together right in front of him, he began to collect fire.

[Dismantle] (FN)

*Shing*

Sadly, Otto didn't give him the chance to do anything as he sent a wave of invisible slashes, shredding Riser's arms into pepperoni slices.

Now close to Riser thanks to the speed he jumped off the ground, Otto attempted to snatch Riser by the collar of his shirt. Riser, in the moment, despite his arms still regenerating, blasted upwards by conjuring fire under his feet and propelling himself upward.

Passing Riser, Otto crashed into a tall building.

*Boom*

Riser's beating heart began to calm down as he now had taken Otto off his back and regenerated his arms back.

*WOOSH *

Riser quickly caught Otto's flying shadow and began to send compressed flame bullets towards his direction like a minigun.

*Brrrrrrrrr*

Bright explosions were left in Otto's trail, casually dodging and jumping from one building to another.

*Foosh*

Otto appeared in front of Riser mid-air in a flash, catching Riser off guard. Riser moved his head to the side out of instinct, dodging Otto's initial punch. Riser and Otto engaged in a dangerous dance of close-quarters combat.

Riser, who was part of the Phenex family, was obviously taught hand-to-hand quarter combat since young. However, he never did take his skill further as he relied on his flames when battling.

Now that he has been forced to use them, he's begun to feel a hint of regret in not bettering those skills as he was now being overpowered in both skill and strength.

Riser soon conjured a bright burst of flames around him, hoping they would either burn him or make Otto back off from him.

From the sea of flames, Otto's unscathed arms reached out to him.

[Dismantle]

Once again his arms were shredded. Riser looked at Otto with fear in his heart, not a burn mark, neither a wound on his body.

It seemed as if his fire was completely ineffective against him, that fire being his strongest point. With desperation, Riser opened his mouth, concentrating the fire around him into his mouth.

*Vooooom"

The concentrated heat in his mouth vibrated with a dangerous hum. Riser released the flames, creating an incinerating blast of heat. Otto, seeing this, casually moved his head to the side, narrowly dodging the heat beam by a hair.

The beam of energy passed by him and collided with a building.

*Booooom*

The building collapsed immediately.

Riser managed to regenerate his arms once again in that time frame but was caught once again by Otto.

"What's with this human and arms?" was Riser's final thought before he was sent hurtling towards another building by Otto.
