Hando continued bragging, "It's not just the entire object that I control-I control what's inside too!" Waving his hand, he pulled a chunk of rebar from within the concrete walls! Frank's eyes lit up. "I never judge people from appearance, but I have to admit I've misjudged you here. After all, you could tear my head off from miles away if you so willed!" "Smart!" Hando applauded him.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtStill, Frank was puzzled. "In that case, why send an assassin after me? Wouldn't it be better to do it yourself, so that you won't get caught?" Hando shook his head. "I thought so too, but decided that doing that would risk too much exposure. Soon, people won't be naive enough to think that my technique is pointless. As such, my idea was to stay in the shadows as much as I could. I wouldn't want anyone to find out about it unless absolutely necessary." Frank nodded. "That's a good idea, but have you considered the possibility that you're not feared?" "By whom? You?" Hando tilted his head as he studied Frank.
He had the measure of a man with destiny, and no average Joe would measure up to his combat technique.
But so what? He was just a man, so he was definitely going to lose! "To be honest, you were already dead when you so pompously toldabout your technique!" Frank snapped his fingers just then, and it seemed as if gravity itself pulled Hando down, pinning him down and nullifying his technique.
"Y-You too?!" Hando was astonished.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmFrank chuckled. "Mine is just a cheap trick that would never measure up to yours... And to prove that I have other options, I can give you another chance." Feeling Frank removing his hold over himself, Hando stood up in disbelief. "Are you sure about this? Pitting your powers directly against mine?" His instincts screamed at him that there had to be a catch-he knew for a fact that the chief of Mystic Sky Guild was not that conceited! Frank chuckled. "Of course I'm sure!" "Well then, you asked for it! Whatever happens isn't my fault!" It was the first tthat Hando had heard a foe challenging him like this, and he went all out right then, fearful that the chance would slip out of his fingers! That was when the unexpected happened.
No matter what Hando did, Frank stood fast, never budging an inch! "I-Impossible!" Hando cried. "How could my abilities fail?" Frank laughed. "Do you really think that your technique is a universal rule that would pierce every other technique? Don't kid yourself it doesn't even amount to a small fry in my eyes!" Hando dropped to his knees with an audible thud right then.
He had reigned unchallenged for years, and countless powerful individuals had died by his hands. anything, he was used to seeing the will of his foes being crushed, but he did not expect such a thing to happen to him! It was as if his existence before this had been pointless, let alone mentioned in the sbreath as Frank! And there was one word that described this: comeuppance! "Oh, but there's more. I don't think your will has been fully crushed... Letadd fuel to the fire!" Frank raised his palm and blew on it.
As if sliced by a keen edge, all his fingers except his thumb were sliced off at the joint!
