Omega Wars Chronicles

Chapter 144: Fathers Sins part 3

   Jagami and the female hiveling shared a prolonged gaze until the sand began to cascade in the hourglass. In an instant, Jagami appeared before the female and launched a punch that the hiveling swiftly blocked.  The hiveling's eyes gleamed as she smirked and effortlessly repelled Jagami with the same arm she had used to defend.

    Jagami steadied herself, then surged forward towards the hiveling to unleash a flurry of punches and kicks, however, the hiveling skillfully blocked and dodged each blow. As Jagami pressed on, the female hiveling swiftly moved her aura-coated palm past Jagami's face and delivered a powerful palm strike to her diaphragm with her other aura-covered hand which sent Jagami skidding backward.

  Jagami gripped her diaphragm with one hand and fixed her gaze on the female hiveling. As the hiveling approached, she shrugged nonchalantly before darting towards Jagami. With swift reflexes, Jagami launched a punch, but the hiveling deftly dodged and acted with a punch of her own.

  With tremendous force, the female hiveling stamped on Jagami's foot, creating a crater in the ground. Before Jagami could react, she was struck in the face with a punch from the hiveling. With relentless fury, the hiveling unleashed a barrage of punches on Jagami's body while maintaining pressure with her foot. Despite the onslaught, Jagami mustered a punch of her own but the hiveling swiftly countered, leaving the imprisoned humans shocked with her demonstrated resilience .

  With even greater force, the female hiveling stamped on Jagami's foot, creating a larger crater than before and the female hiveling swiftly resumed her assault of raining rapid punches on Jagami's body, prompting mutters of concern from some of the onlookers.

  "She took a punch from Jagami and retaliated like nothing ever happened!"

  "We knew she was strong but what in the hell!"

  "This isn't good."

  "Fight back, Jagami!"

  "Our lives are on your shoulders!"

    "You can do this!"

  "They are right, this isn't good. This isn't good at all." A male adult with a blue bandana and navy blue kimono said, "She has had Jagami in the palm of her hands since they started. To take a punch from someone like Jagami and retaliate that quickly ... I don't know what to say."

  "But her foot..." The man in the bandana said as he took notice of the female hiveling's foot still pressed down on Jagami's own foot, "She hasn't removed it at all. Why is it still there? What is the purpose behind this?"

  "Ah, it's quite simple." An old man with a large scar on his left eye said to the man with the bandana,  "She means to cripple the Graundar girl's movement."

  "Cripple her movement?" The man with the bandana asked.

  "In combat, footwork is crucial for a fighter's mobility and ability to control the distance and angles of a fight. By stamping her foot on Jagami's, the hiveling has disrupted her footwork, making it difficult for Jagami to move effectively or maintain balance while creating an advantageous position for the hiveling to strike repeatedly."

  "So you are saying this tactic restricts Jagami's ability to evade or counterattack, leaving her vulnerable while giving the hiveling an advantage of control over her movements?" The man with the bandana asked.

  "Yes." The old man answered.

"And with the speed of those punches, there is no way Jagami will even have the time to think." The man with the bandana said.

  "Those aren't random punches either. They are targeted." The old man said.

  "Huh? How can you tell?" The man with the bandana asked.
