"Morph your hands again, let me see." Erian walked closer to Bradon wantingbti get a closer look as he asked.
Bradon expression immediately changed hearing what Erian had just asked. His face turned ugly. "You want to observe me like a test subject and determine how I was able to do it?"
Erian nodded his head, not bothering to hide his intention. But Bradon shook his head and responded decisively. He would never let anyone see through his talent. "Impossible."
Asking him to do that was like asking him for his greatest treasure, one that he wasn't willing to share.
"Either that or you lose one arm. Chose carefully." Erian's voice didn't hold any form of threat. His tone throughout was casual, as though he was only speaking with an acquaintance.
Bradon's face immediately darkened. He could feel the threat behind Erian's words making him remain silent with an ugly expression. Erian was been extremely domineering to say such words. "You can't threaten me if you don't have the strength to back it up."
Erian raised an eyebrow, staring at Bloody Bear with a new found look which contained a hint of respect. Power wasn't enough to intimidate this guy, a fact that was enough to earn his respect but if bravely was enough, wouldn't the world be a better place?
"Bang!"
The sound of the ground exploding had just sounded when Erian's figure flickered. Seeing this, Bradon's eye turned cold. His entire leg expanded like a balloon as muscles rippled through them, inflating three times their previous size as he stomped heavily to the ground in a savage rage!
"Die!"
The ground within a radius of ten meters shook and rippled like the waves in an ocean. The power within that stomp was unstoppable as it destroyed the ground to smithereens, spreading outwards like a wave.
Erian has appeared three meters before Bradon when he encountered the ground quake. With a snort, he stomped heavily to the ground, canceling out the quake as he reached toward the Bradon in the blink of an eye.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtBrandon's body suddenly expanded as he grew into a three meter tall bear like creature. His eyes were bloodshot and his body hairy like a bear. With his current physical appearance, it was no wonder the called him the bloody bear.
"ROOOAR!" A berserk roar escaped his lips.
"Bang!"
Massive amount of nuclear energy imploded from within him. The reaction creates a small explosion thag blasted everything around him away.
Like a tidal wave, the force from the explosion pushed Erian ten meters away. With his body twice as strong as previously, and speed that was even faster than before, he shot towards Erian like an arrow.
"Bam!"
He leapt upwards and pounced at Erian, wanting to crush him under his his feet. With the force he was descending at, he could crush a large boulder to powder wth that force.
In the very last moment, Erian managed to sidestep, effectively avoiding been stomped to death.
"BANG!" The ground instantly caved in as a ten-meter hole appeared in the ground.
Just as Bradon's feet touched the ground, his ears twitched as he heard a whistling sound. He was only able to place his left arm above his waist as the tiny fist slammed into his arm, pushing forwards until collided with his waist.
The force made his entire skin ripple violently, making his body skid ten meters sideways.
Dust and uneven stones filled the sky but the were blasted apart as Brandon's massive frame pierced through them like a bullet with his claws outstretched at Erian's chest.
Erian seem to have been caught off-guard at Brandon's speed of recovery.
"Ding!"
Sparks flew off as the claws struck Erian's palm. He was starting to get irritated by this meaningless fight. With astonishing speed, he jumped high and his right leg rose as he blasted it against Brandon's neck.
Bradon couldn't react in time. The leg slammed into his neck and his waist twisted downwards as he was forcefully bent sideways. Quickly using his hands, he stopped his face from touching the ground. Which caused numerous cracks to fill the ground.
Erian snorted and put in more force in his leg. Explosion echoed as one of Bradon's face flushed red as eh exerted his entire force to resist Erian.
But it wasn't nearly enough, if he didn't do anything, he would be lying flat underneath Erian's feet. Anger instantly surged through his as he thought of this. When had he ever knelt before anyone.
Like a slippery loach, he managed to escape from underneath Erian's suppression. As they were close to each other, his mouth opened as he sucked in massive amounts of air, amking his sstomach three times their previous size.
Erian watched curiously as Bradon gulped before he suddenly opened his mouth.
"ROOOAR!!!"
An earth shattering roar blasted out like thunder. Visible soundwave ripped out from his throat rippling through the air as it distorted the surroundings with its thick, destructive wave of power. Everything within twenty meter radius was destroyed.
Erian who was so close to him was immediately stunned by the shockwave. His mind appearing blank.
Seeing this, Bradon's eyes sharpened. Ignoring the weakness he was feeling in his throat he struck out at Erian, intending to incapacitate him once and for all.
Just as he was about to touch him, a faint trace of a smirk could be seen on Erian's face. Beginning to develop a bad decision, Bradon swiftly made his descision.
His eyes flashed with a slight reluctant look. Morphing to the titan form required massive amount of nuclear energy, consuming more than half of his energy reserve. If he is completed depleted, he would be no different than a helpless individual.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmEven an ordinary brainless titan would be able to end him. Just as he had decided to change, he caught sight of a fist enlarging towards his face. Before he could inflict injury on himself, the fist slammed into his face, sending him flying almost twenty meters away.
Erian's feet tapped slightly om the ground as he turned into a dark blur, following Brandon's body closely. He grabbed one of his feet in mid-air, stopping his flight.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
The ground quaked violently as Erian treated Bradon like a hammer, slamming him violently to the ground repeatedly. Bradon's body was beyond his control his face changing shape as it slammed repeatedly to the ground until he vomited blood.
Seeing that he had stopped resisting, Erian dragged him by his leg across the ground until he found where to sit. Making a destroyed vehicle in the street as a make shift chair, he grabbed bloody bear by the throat. His mouth tilted a little to form a smile seeing Bradon's unconscious face.
"Stop pretending to be unconscious, it might fool the others, but it's different with me." Saying this, Erian tossed his aside and seated patiently, watching Bradon pretend to be unconscious.
A minute passed, then two minutes passed but Erian seem to be certain the young man was pretending.
Hence, a comical scene unfolded. Bloody Bear laid on the ground unmoving, Erian sat right before him, seemingly enjoying the sun settling on his skin and body as he remained unbothered.
Just when the time hit five minutes, Bradon seem to have realised Erian wasn't going to let him go. Pretending to just be waking up from being knocked out, he coughed three times his eyes one of bitterness as he woke up to see Erian staring at him with a faint smile.
"You are up? Or do you want to lay for longer? I can make it permanent if you wished."
Bradon snorted but couldn't say anything to refute him. He limped to his feet as one of his joint seem to have be dislocated.
A look of reluctance filled his face but he stretched his hands towards Erian. Slowly, the two hands expanded as his nails grew sharper in the process.
Erian frowned as he watched the transformation. He couldn't feel any fluctuation of waves from his hands which meant it wasn't something he could learn unless he could manipulate every cells in his body.
After twenty more minutes of scrutiny Erian suddenly shook his head, a slight look of disappointment on his face. It was true, he couldn't learn this technique at all. It was an ability specific to Bradon, letting him morph towards his combat tactic which was the Beast Titan tactic, the Bloody Bear.
He could change to the bloody bear before morphing to his titan form which was exactly what Erian wanted to learn but was disappointed he couldn't learn it.
Bradon noticed the look on Erian's face and he sneered deep in his heart. 'Even the Envoys couldn't find a way to replicate it, what make you think you can!?'
But he remained silent outward. Erian's strength had convinced him therefore, he could only reluctantly let this go. Since he couldn't defeat his opponents, he might as well go with the flow.
