172 Rhys Vs Inna 3

She knew well that being affected by emotions like fear, or by overthinking could affect her reaction speed so she decided to ignore Rhys's frightening stare as she calmly closed her eyes. She tried hard to ignore the heated stare boring a hole through her forehead as she decided to focus on the match instead.

Okay, since he's p.i.s.sed, he'd obviously attack first.

Hoping that she was right, Inna waited for the magical particles she saw in his body to move towards her.

But seconds after, there was still no movement.

Just as she thought that Rhys was giving up on making the first move, she was startled when he suddenly dashed to her side with his fists ready.

Inna dodged the incoming punch easily and she tried to land a punch herself. But Rhys seemed to have picked up his speed seeing how he was now able to easily dodge the punches she threw with all her strength.

Inna couldn't help but click her tongue when she realized that her punch earlier must have been a fluke. Because if it wasn't, Rhys would've at least had trouble with dodging or keeping up with her attacks but it seemed like that wasn't the case at all.

Tired from her punching and him constantly dodging, Inna decided to use her legs for once. Using the momentum she had while das.h.i.+ng around, she tried to land a powerful kick towards Rhys's side but he effectively blocked it with his arm. Then, before Inna could react, he grabbed her foot and pulled her towards him.

He launched his fist to hit her shoulder but despite her foot being held firmly, Inna was able to quickly dodge it through twisting her body to the side.

And when Rhys's punch met with only air, Inna decided to grab his arm before he could retract it. Then, with her other hand formed into a fist, she launched it straight to his face.

Rhys's face scrunched up in frustration as he let go of her foot to quickly evade her punch.

This girl seemed to have a grudge on his handsome face.

Inna felt the grip on her foot disappear, and now that it's free, she dashed immediately to Rhys, hoping to land another blow.

She launched an array of attacks to the point that she felt like one of those Tekken game characters that had combo after combo of moves.

But sadly, not one of her attacks was able to hit Rhys since he either evaded them all or simply blocked them.

Well, the same goes for Rhys as well. He actually tried to land powerful blows too but Inna was as slick as a snake. Just when he thought it would hit, she would always find a way to slither out of it.

Inna and Rhys were both starting to get impatient and mentally tired so, hoping to get a second's rest, they decided to increase the distance between them by backing off to a safer distance.

Inna huffed out a breath as she opened her eyes to make her mind rest for a while. It actually takes a lot of concentration to focus on Rhys's magical particles so she's slowly being mentally drained.

It didn't help that her attention span was as short as a goldfish's so concentrating too much on one thing for a long time would surely tire her.

So, she decided she'll open her eyes this time while fighting. But when she looked at Rhys to attack, she couldn't help but stop and widen her eyes when she saw what he was doing.

The douche was actually copying her!

Rhys's closed eyes twitched when he saw how little the magical particles were in Inna's body.

He knew that closing his eyes would increase his abilities. And usually, he never would have done it because he hated using one of Raghnall's moves. But he found her a worthy opponent so he decided that he had to give his all as well.

Well, he'll give it his all for about only a moment.

He just needed one moment.

Then, he'll be able to end the fight.

Because if he won't, Master Azai might return and he's so going to get into big trouble when he sees him fighting without any permit.

So, he had to end it immediately.

Inna clicked her tongue when she double checked on whether he really did close his eyes.

What the f.u.c.k, Mr. Copycat.

She couldn't help but find it unfair that he could use it too.

After all, she already had trouble fighting him with his eyes wide open so, what more if he'd close them?!

Inna knew he'd be a better fighter with his closed eyes so she decided, with her own eyes closed, to be the one to attack him first to hopefully have some advantage.

But just like before, they ended up in a stalemate. Punch, dodge, kick, block, and the sequence just continues on forever. The only difference was that this time, it was more on Rhys attacking her and her constantly dodging and blocking as though her life depended on it.

Inna started to panic. She didn't find any openings on him and even if she did, she's too busy evading to land even a pat on him. Her mind was already tired as it is but now the added stress of being unable to fight back was taking its toll on her movements.

And just when she thought it couldn't get any worse, she suddenly felt a huge surge of magical particles surround him. She wanted to open her eyes but he was in the middle of attacking her that she felt that it would be unwise to do so. So, instead, she decided to put some distance between them first.

Rhys seemed frozen in his spot which made Inna internally sigh in relief.

But then, in a snap, the magical particles she saw in Rhys's body suddenly disappeared and she couldn't help but panic.

She tried to open her eyes to see if Rhys was actually still there but when she did, she felt an immense murderous aura directed at her.

She turned her head to find its origin but before she could even see clearly what or who it was, her body turned as cold as ice. Her eyes that once held shock now only held nothingness as her mind cleared with any thoughts of confusion and panic. Her expression turned blank, save for the murderous aura that enveloped her whole being.

Rhys in his hidden state couldn't help but falter in his attack when he felt a deadly aura greater than his.

And just as his attack was about to land, he suddenly saw his life flash before his eyes.
