Before Kai even got the chance to respond, Ezekial had dismissed his sword back to his soul and thrown himself at his target.
He threw a wide punch with his right hand before aiming a second punch at Kai's stomach using his left hand. Kai managed to duck under the first one before deflecting the second punch with the body of his sword, letting the strength of the blow knock him backwards and give him some space.
But Ezekial did not let up, he instantly attacked Kai again, acting more like a martial artist than a swordsman.
Kai desparately dodged and deflected every attack, but even when he deflected them he would still lose a sliver of HP just from the sheer strength of the attacks.
Gritting his teeth, Kai inwardly cursed his luck.
Like what sort of bullshit was this? Ezekial was a so called Sword Saint, yet they had dismissed their sword in favour of engaging Kai in a fist fight. Meanwhile, Kai couldn't let go of Esurient because of all the bonus stats they gave, which he needed to execute his plan.
So, to put it simply, instead of bringing a knife to a gun fight, Kai had brought a bigger knife to a fist fight.
Ducking under another attack, Kai watched as Ezekial's fist went straight through a painting of Anastasia and got stuck in the wall.
Taking advantage of that, Kai swung Esurient at Ezekial's back, but they instantly reacted and kicked Kai's wrist, making the attack miss.
Grunting, Ezekial yanked his fist out of the wall before trying to uppercut Kai while he was off balance.
...
Yep, Kai wasn't seeing things wrong.
What sort of Sword Saint went for uppercuts!?
Pulling his head backwards, Kai leaned back and kicked Ezekial in the stomach, making them take a few steps backwards as he took those few seconds to steady and compose himself.
Still, Ezekial did lot let up on his vicious assault.
The entire castle shook with every missed blow, but Kai wasn't sure was that a result of Ezekial of if it was perfect timing to do with whatever the Plague Harbinger was doing.
Kai slashed, stabbed, he even attempted to whack Ezekial with his sword, but the blue haired swo- blue haired man- managed to deflect everything with his fists. It was like he wasn't even doing any damage.
Well, either that or his current state either partially nullified or fully nullified any sort of pain that he felt, which actually sounded quite realistic to Kai.
Still, he was doing well. Another few minutes and he would be out of this Subdimension, home free.
At least, he would be as long as he could keep up. With every passing second, Kai felt himself get a little bit weaker. He was growing tired, he was pushing his body way too hard. He was effectively going to be crippled for a while after this fight was over.
But that was fine, he would be safe after all.
Still, all that accumulating fatigue was all it took for Kai to slip up.
Giving up on the idea of trying to land a punch, Ezekial charged at Kai and grabbed him by the waist.
Cursing, Kai tried to adjust himself to be able to stab Ezekial, but because of the way he had been picked up he could only desparately whack the back of Ezekial's head with the pommel of his sword, but it was no use.
Ezekial used Kai as a battering ram as he ran into a wall. Groaning, Kai felt thankful at that fact that this wall was made out of timber and not the same stone majority of the castle was made out of.
