A fist to my jaw.

A kick in my stomach.

A heel to my ear.

"Get up. You think anyone else would spare you?"

I can't help but gasp for breath. Am I even allowed to breathe?

"You're too weak."

A part of me disappears. I feel...

"The weaklings of today all but rely on their semblances. You will not do the same."

"Ah... Father, no... P-please!"

"You may speak when you can get off the damn ground, Mercury!"

Father?

...

.........

The life in Blondie's eyes disappear, and the world is consumed by darkness.

F-Father?

"Skill. Critical Strike."

My aura is completely obliterated.

"Gah!"

I fall to the ground.

"Hah..."

My surroundings... Have I been moved? No, it's just... (Y/N)! He just had to come back so soon.

"Heh... Heheh... So... You're gonna beat me now? After I was brought to the brink? And here I thought you wanted to-"

*SNAP*

Oh.

Oh.

Oh my god.

"H... HRAAAAAAGH!"

My arms!

"Skill. Dominator's Touch."

He simply holds his hand out, and I am gripped by the throat. The feeling of a god clenching my windpipe shut... The darkness letting me perceive nothing else.

My arms incapable of movement.

A fist to my jaw.

A kick in my stomach.

A heel to my ear.

"You think I would spare you?"

The heel pushes down harder.

"I couldn't give less of a shit about an equal fight, and I'm not waiting to let you blabber on. Fucking die."

Father, please!

I'll get up!

I'll fight back!!
