Chapter 46 - Fistfighting Is The Way | 46

"Well... It's time that I finished these two off," Isabel said with a smug smile on her face. Song Lei laid on the ground and looked at the ceiling. He didn't have the energy to do anything at the moment. Furthermore, he didn't need to. as long as he sat and waited, Isabel would finish them off.

"It won't be that easy!" Amber said. Her eyes were twitching while she spoke. As for Alan, he was still wandering in his fantasy land, imagining what he would do to Isabel when he took over the mansion.

As time passed, the power particles in the air started lessening. Initially, the room was like a battlefield of hundreds of people constantly shooting at each other. But now, it was much more calmer. Each side was about to exhaust its power.

The first one to run out of fuel was Amber, she pulled her tentacles back and took a few steps back. Seeing that she was out of the attrition battle, Isabel turned her focus on Alan. Alan quickly lost his soul energy too as the last bits of purplish goo he had formed into gauntlets around his hands. He too took a few steps backward and went out of Isabel's control sphere.

Because she was exhausted, Isabel's powers couldn't go as far as before. It was only covering one-tenth of the room. When both Alan and Amber went out of it, she stopped spending her soul energy. Instead, she infused her soul power into her body. Her body bloated and got bigger, becoming around 2.5 meters. She seemed to be oozing with physical strength.

"So? What is happening now?" Song Lei asked while frowning.

"Now that everyone is out of soul power, we will punch each other to death," Isabel answered.

Song Lei scratched his head and sat upright to watch what exactly was going on. His mouth twitched. 'Are you guys really spiritual beings? You act more like hooligans,' he thought.

Things were much simpler now that the soul powers weren't being used. All they had to do was to beat each other to death.

Alan, Amber, and Isabel took their first steps towards each other at the exact same time. They hadn't moved towards each other even once since Song Lei had entered the room.

When they were all about two meters away from each other. Amber and Alan dashed at Isabel. Alan threw his ginormous fist at her right. Amber swung her tentacles at Isabel from the left.

Their attacks had an incredible momentum to them. If Song Lei was even grazed by one of these attacks, he would probably be heavily damaged.

Things weren't the same for Isabel though. She simply raised her hands and stopped both attacks at the same time. She stopped them so easily that it looked as if there were no force put behind those attacks.

Both Alan's and Amber's eyes widened as they jumped backward. Isabel didn't want for them to move as they wanted so she chased after Alan who was weaker at CQC.

Alan hadn't thought that Isabel would go directly after him so he was caught off guard. Isabel punched him square in the face. Alan was launched off to the wall as his nose caved in.

"My..! My beautiful nose!" Alan started screaming and weeping. He held his broken nose and tried to correct it by bending it around. "I-! I will kill you! How dare you hurt my handsome face!?"

Isabel didn't have the time to listen to Alan's ramblings and went after Amber. Amber was a lot more tricky to deal with in CQC because of her tentacles. There were 6 of them protruding out of her neck and they were unpredictable. This was enough to give her a tremendous advantage at fighting against beings equal to her power level. Right now, though, Isabel had a lot more remaining soul power than her. This raw power gap was enough to make up for Amber's advantage.

As Isabel charged at Amber, she was met with a flurry of tentacle attacks. She pushed away all of Amber's attacks perfectly. After deflecting all of Amber's tentacle attacks, she had a little time window where she could go in to land a punch.

*Smash

Isabel felt a heavy punch hitting her stomach.

'I forgot...' She thought. Albeit being them her greatest strength, Amber still had arms that she could punch with. Because of her attack density with her tentacles, it was easy to forget Amber's other ways of attacking when dealing with them. Isabel had made this exact mistake. Fortunately, Isabel was in her battle mode and had barely gotten hurt. Her missing the window of opportunity was the biggest problem.

In the meantime, Alan had managed to get up and pull himself together. He still seemed to be clumsy as his nose being broken made him lose his balance. Nevertheless, he ran like a bull at Isabel and tried to tackle her. Isabel just took a step backward. Missing Isabel, Alan stumbled and fell forwards.

Seeing these clumsy movements and attacks, Song Lei facepalmed and thought, 'This looks so stupid...'

Honestly, he thought that he could have a chance against Alan if they fought right now. Although Alan had a great amount of control over his soul power, he was very weak when he ran out of it.

After dodging Alan, Isabel decided to go after him and finish him off. Because of the way he had fallen down, Alan's back was wide open. Isabel raised her punch and started punching the back of Alan's neck. With every punch, the ground shook. If Song Lei was somehow standing up right now, he would've fallen down.

Isabel's punches kept going. Alan was getting submerged into the ground without getting the chance to recuperate.

"Watch out!"

*Smash

Isabel was sent flying as she got hit by Amber. Initially, Amber had backed off when her tentacle attacks had missed their target. Seeing her backing off, Isabel had thought that she would be able to react in time if Amber attacked her and decided to finish off Alan. Unfortunately, Amber came up with an unorthodox usage of her tentacles and launched herself off of the wall towards Isabel.

Isabel hit a wall and stopped. The part of the wall she had hit was about to crumble as cracks appeared on it. The buffed state of her body started going back to its original shape as her soul power was running out.

Song Lei who had been sitting in his place comfortably started crawling towards her. Unfortunately, Amber was much faster than him. She quickly ran up to Isabel and started smacking her with her tentacles.

"Haha! Bitch! I had told you that I would kill you! Look at the state you're in!" Amber shouted. She was screaming and laughing on her own. Isabel didn't make a single sound in response.

Suddenly, Amber was thrown to the side by a huge force.

"Are you forgetting your precious son, mommy!?" Alan shouted at Amber after tackling her. Bloody tears were wetting his cheeks.

After this happened, they started fighting it out in the other corner of the room. Meanwhile, Song Lei managed to crawl next to Isabel.

"I- Isabel?" Song Lei asked. Isabel's body was in shambles and she was bleeding everywhere.

"Come closer..." She said with a weak voice. Song Lei followed her instructions and got as close as he can to Isabel.

"Do you want to survive no matter what?" Isabel asked. Song Lei nodded. His eyesight was blurry because of internal bleeding.

"Great."

Song Lei felt a soft sensation hitting his lips.

"Mmf...!"
