182 I’ll Wait For It
(Jane’s PoV)
I shifted my feet to avoid this attack, at the sa ti pushing the thing in my right hand to block the hand that ca to . The thing I was holding was another arm, from the texture of it, I was sure it was a man’s arm.
It felt firm, strong, and not overly muscular. So yes, it was a man’s arm.
This ti, I went offensive. Clutching the arm with my both hands, I threw him over my shoulder. Even with my smaller fra, I could throw an adult similar to Tom or Sanji’s body over my shoulder after being taught by Siji. My hellish training didn’t only involve about spiritual training, after all, but also physical training where I pushed the limit of my physical strength to the point I couldn’t believe I could achieve.
There was a loud sound when his body slamd the ground. I jumped back a bit after I attacked him. I didn’t hear a grunt, normal sound people made when they were being thrown to the ground, which ant whoever I threw on the ground was not an ordinary man.
I cursed the darkness that surrounded until I felt nearly blind. Where was I, actually? Why was there no one here? Where were Sanji and Tom? Siji?
I tried to call out for Siji, but he didn’t respond. It was strange. Other than being late for several tis because he was taking care the matter with Tom, he had never been late before. Not to ntion not appearing at all.
It was just impossible. I couldn’t even summon the n. What was going on here? Where was I, actually?
“Don’t even bother trying.” A voice was reverberated through the darkness.
.....
Another attack ca. Again, I dodged and counter-attacked.
“You won’t be able to wake up for so ti.” The voice said again.
And another attack. I couldn’t counter-attack but at least I dodged.
Wake up? Then, was I asleep?
If I was really asleep, then I was dreaming at this mont. Since this man could talk casually like this, he must be an intruder. Tom could enter my dream when he was still a spirit, this man must be sothing similar. But, that’s not the point.
Since it was in my dream, I should be able to control it, right? With that realization in my mind, I tried to put a light in this stupid dark room.
The keyword was ‘try’.
It was hard to put my one hundred percent effort in this try since I kept getting attack from the owner of the voice.
“Who are you?” I shouted in annoyance.
I heard him chuckled and felt that it was scarily familiar with soone I knew.
“It seems like you forgot about that easily. Didn’t I say that I would play with you?”
So, I was right. It was no surprise for . Only this evil creature could co and go as he pleased after torturing . No, he didn’t an to torture . He wanted to kill .
I needed to light up my surrounding so that I could see him better. With that thought in my mind, the room was slowly brightening up. Even when I was getting attacked, the room still brightened up gradually.
It was a big white room, similar to my consciousness. But, there was no smoke like spiritual power around. It was just a plain white room. It was so big that I couldn’t see the end of the room. But, standing not far from was the man who appeared in my house that day.
The devil who claid himself as the enemy of First Master.
He was still wearing that smile on his face. His expression was much less the sa with the one he showed that ti.
I frowned. “What do you want?”
“What else? Play with you, of course.” He said casually. His body disappeared, but this ti I was ready.
I dodged his vicious kick and even kicked him back. His leg was slamd to the ground and I delivered the second kick on his thigh.
“You’re getting better, little girl.” He smiled as he blocked my kick easily.
I didn’t stop, though. I continued my attack on him, using all kinds of martial arts Siji taught . It was a pity that I couldn’t use my spiritual power on him since I couldn’t feel it. Because I couldn’t feel it, there’s no way I could summon it.
Hm? There must be a way. After all, this was my dream.
In no ti, I could feel the familiar flow of spiritual power in . Since this man was a devil, any physical and spiritual attack would work on him. Combining my physical and spiritual attack, I really caught him off guard.
“Nice!” He smiled wider, and for a second I could see a trace of joy and proud in his usually stoic eyes.
We exchanged blows for more than ten minutes. Even though I still couldn’t really hurt him since he was so capable -I hated to admit that -at least, there were so tis I could make him flustered with my attack.
In the end, I was defeated. He tied up with his dark mist, with both of my hands in his hands to prevent summoning another spiritual power to hit him. He was standing in front of , stepping closer to as he peered into with his black eyes.
Now that I think of it, it looked and felt slightly intimate with my hands in his hands and his face closed to mine. But at that ti, I didn’t feel anything like this.
“You’re showing a rapid progress. That’s very good. But, with only this kind of ability, you won’t be able to defeat .” He told softly. He was smiling mockingly at even though he talked to softly. He sounded more like a victor mocking the loser, and I was so upset listening to him.
“Just you wait! I’ll definitely defeat you like First Master kicked your ass!” I growled at him.
He blinked his eyes and I thought I saw pain in his eyes. Another blink and it was gone. Was I over thinking things?
Also, why did I feel the way he was holding my hands was gentler and not like he was restraining ?
“I’ll wait for it.” He said in a whisper, and he disappeared just like that.
I was dumbfounded at his unusual behavior. I couldn’t see the malicious and killing intent he displayed at that ti. I couldn’t even feel the fear that I felt at that ti when I first t him. He didn’t act like this at that ti.
Screw him, I needed to get myself together and reminded myself that he wanted to kill . There was no point in thinking about him that way. However he acted was not my concern. I only needed to make sure that I could survive if he appeared again. Probably kicked his ass so that he would stop bothering . But, I doubted it could happen in the near future.
Since he had gone, I needed to wake up. Wake up, Jane!
