POWER: A Tale of Greatness

Chapter 34: Estuaria's Most Heartless Man

Slowly pushing his body up, James' muscles started shaking, bleeding on several wounds, and he had a couple of broken bones. "Manatee." As he stands, his hand subconsciously reaches for his head, warm fluid rushes down his cheek-blood.

The man grins, rubbing his hairless top, "Remember what I told you in the forest?" he chuckles, "This Manatee will pop your eyes out of its sockets!" Agustus raised his hand, "Don't worry, I never break promises."

"Promises?" James drops his slingbag to the side and all his unnecessary accessories. "Promise keepers keep no secret, but a delicate glass of memories we used to think while we dream."

"Promises... are meant... to be... broken."

Agustus' expression changed, "Stop your nonsense chitchats."

"Why? Does... it... hurt your... feelings?"

"I said 'Stop', little brat!" Agustus threw his heavily loaded punch towards James.

"Agua Jet." James dashed out of Agustus' sight and leapt behind him. "Agua Stream: River Rapids!" James kicked his opponent's head with all his power and landed back on the ground.

Agustus swings his fist outward, but his nimble prey dodges him.

"His big, fat body became enlarged and more muscular." James picks up the trident and lowers his center of mass, weapon aimed at his opponent. "No wonder his attack became heavier."

"Did you just kick me, little rat?" He glared at James and clenched his fist.

"I just did!" James heightened his guard and another wave of green, vibrant aura erupted from him. His wounds slowly close, and he trembles as they heal back.

"Your puny magic is nothing compared to my power, monster!" Agustus said as he began to walk closer and closer to James. "How honored you must be, you are the only being capable of making my blood boil like this!"

"I feel disgraced in myself. The fact that you have delivered pain to every one of us and I can do nothing!" James finds himself charging towards the monstrosity of a being he is facing. "What makes me honored is the fact that I will be the Atlantian who will end that life of yours!"

Agustus lifted his log-like leg and threw a solid kick, "Just die already and quit talking!" But slow enough to be evaded by his swift prey.

The sky turns lighter, but the clouds slowly cover the sun, James slides beneath the titanic beast who wants to trample over his corpse, the gloomy sky speaks with him, "I will defeat him... for sure... for my tribe!"

He stood on a firm footing and swung his foot towards the back of his opponent's knee, which causes Agustus to fall behind. "Agua Jet." James leaps away from the descending man.

THUDDDD!!

The young Atlantian lands firm, "Keep your limbs to yourself, Manatee."

"Impressive. I never thought monsters could also think!" After standing back on his feet, Agustus launched his heavy body towards James. "Heavyweight Smash!"

"Aguaflujo Forming Technique: Xiphias. Agua Jet!" A gust of wind whistles after he dashes at extreme speed. "Aguaflujo Forming Technique: Leviathan..." James' eyes watered, caused by the winds against him, but he kept them locked on his opponent. His clenched fist, weaves through the wind, swift and elegant. "... Agua Stream: Splash Hit!

DOOOOOOM!

A powerful shockwave blasted after they crashed into each other. Tremendous amounts of power plummeted almost everywhere, sending the broken structures away.
