Chapter 87 Wounding Him
In other words, William didn't just seal his path out, he also timed it to make it impossible for such a spirit master to run away without getting hit.
"Damn you! What are those little things of yours?!!" And just from the thick and big bellow of dust that appeared here, a silhouette flashed, getting out from inside while shouting in such an enraged voice, while aiming at William's chest with his fist.
"My brother… You lost," and just before Callom's fist would land on William, Berry's uncle couldn't help but get over his little shock and announce this result, "you used your spirit power and that's not allowed."
"Damn! Fine! Let's see if this brat will get another hit at me as he claimed," and when Berry's father heard Gran's words, his will to fight was ignited as he started to move towards William in such slow, yet heavy steps.
William knew he did something that this spirit master never expected. He didn't just force him to use his spirit power, but at the moment when he hesitated to do so, he got a slight cut wound at his right shoulder from this explosion.
"Don't blame me for being overbearing," and as Berry's father walked towards William, while his rage knew no limits.
He couldn't believe he got forced to use his spirit power to evade those arrows. And now he decided to crush them head on, not giving William a chance to set such an attack again.
So, he took out a sword, while saying these words in a tone filled with fighting spirit.
*Clang!*
"Childish way! Knives are only for pussies!" and just as Berry's father took a few steps forward, William retreated the same distance, took out a couple of knives and threw them one after another towards Callom.
The latter expected arrows like before, yet to face thrown out knives. Yet that didn't change anything of his tactic, as he simply deflected them. Even from such a close distance, William's ability to throw them wasn't that great compared with a dark gold spirit master's swinging sword speed.
"Damn! Watch out!" Just as Berry's father was about to take another step forward, two unexpected spots of pain came from his back, making him quite puzzled.contemporary romance
And with his brother's warning shout, he knew something was wrong!
"This…" he froze in place for a moment, extended his hand towards his back to check the source of this pain. To his surprise, the two knives he just deflected and sent flying were inserted into his back.
He wasn't wearing any battle armour, as he never thought he would need one. As his hands touched something sticky and warm, he knew it was his blood.
"You…" and just as Callom felt this, he ignited all his spirit power amidst his rage, "you are such a sneaky and untrusted bastard! You shall not get a single step near my daughter!"
In Berry's father's eyes, this weak spirit master who was disguised as a porter wasn't a straightforward fighter. He leant to use such dirty methods to secure his win. And that made William lose all the points he gained before, and even got a ton of minus points instead.
Yet Berry's uncle didn't shout to warn his brother, but William. In fact, he never expected such a clash to end in such a way.
Gran didn't expect what William did. It was the first time for Gran to see such arrows which ended up exploding by mere falling on the ground and without the use of any spirit power to trigger them.
Even if William showed remarkable ability to control the timing right and in such precision, it wasn't that shocking compared with his second attack.
These knives! At first, they were looking like normal kitchen knives. But when his brother deflected these two, Berry's uncle saw them curve midair without releasing much spirit power fluctuation.
If one wasn't focusing on them with all his senses, he would be easily missing such fluctuations, change in trajectory, ending up getting hit by them. And that's what exactly happened to his brother.
Yet when he saw the knives curve in the air and aim at his brother's back, he anticipated what was going to happen and how Callom would react to this.
His brother was a fighting maniac, but he was also such a bitter loser. So that warning shout wasn't directed at his brother, but towards William.
And as his brother said and was about to do what he expected, Berry's uncle had no other choice but to move fast and stood in between the two.
"It's better if you stop right now," Gran said to his brother, trying to knock some sense back into him.
"A last hit still remains, or do you think I'll admit defeat just from these two losses?" Yet Berry's father had no intention of backing down.
"Father! Please stop!" and just as Berry's father didn't intend to budge an inch, the scream coming from his beloved daughter stopped him in his tracks.
"He is a bad person! He leant to use such dirty methods to attack me! He didn't even use his spirit power or any spirit technique! Is he really a spirit master? Knives are for pussies, not real men! Are you even a spirit master?"
He directed his last question towards William who simply answered by raising his left hand. A faint bronze spirit power appeared like a small dancing fire layer around his hand before he closed his fist and then Berry's father roared.
"Damn you! I'm going to kill you now! Let me see who dares to stop me!"
William didn't use his spirit power just to answer Callom, but to pull out the deeply inserted two knives at Berry's father's back. And that was his response to what Berry's father asked, and also to his threats.
"Is senior going back on his words? Killing me is easy yet washing one's stained reputation is impossible."
