Chapter 129: Gid Lucione Deviluke 2
(Ryoto's pov)
I shot out the lighting after a charge-up, but I was aware that it wouldn't be able to do anything, so I used my fire to create smoke dense enough to block Gid's vision.
Gid, annoyed by it, used his tail to blow the smoke away, but it was too late. I already used my eyes to let Gid see me attacking from the side.
He reacted to the illusion by turning his eyes to it.
At the same time, I attacked from the front. I synchronized my footstep with illusions footsteps so Gid wouldn't realize that he was seeing an illusion.
When I was in his range, however, I noticed that only his eyes were focused on the fake me. The rest of his body was ready to attack me. There were minimal signs of that, but I caught them all before he did anything, so I quickly used both of my hands to shoot fire at him and repel myself from him.
After the smoke disappeared, I saw unharmed Gid with a few burn marks on his clothes. He looked more pissed off, and this is not good. I could practically see the vein on his forehead.
Gid: "It looks like I allowed you to play for too long. Your illusions are impressive, unrecognizable from reality, but I couldn't hear you moving from one place to another, so it was too obvious that I was seeing your illusion. But enough of this, let's end this."
It was his turn to attack. I could follow him with my eyes, but my body was another story... is what I would say if I didn't have prediction calculation. Thanks to this ability, I could still somehow dodge it as my body had time to react, but I could feel my eyes getting warmer.
The whole time he was attacking, I was in defense as he didn't let me do anything. I was carefully considering the punches and kicks I should dodge and which one I should defend against.
As I have suspected, every one of his punches and kicks hurt like a bitch, but I could still use them afterward, so I count it as a win. I found it a little strange, but I didn't have time to question it as I was using most of my brain functions to calculate and trying not to die, of course.
As I crossed my arms and strategically covered them in Haki around the area, he'll hit, but it was my mistake as this time, the punch was more powerful than the ones before. It broke my guard, leaving my arms raised and my face unguarded.
Seeing this, he smirked, and I knew what was coming if I didn't do something. My face will have a close meeting with his small but not delicate fist.
I did three things in that instant.
First, I covered my face in Haki in case the other two things failed and hoped for the best.
Second I shifted my wrist enough to point my web-shooters at him so I could web him at least a little bit. Even if I did the best it could do was weaken his punch a bit which would be welcomed.
Third I used my eyes again to change the world around him. I did not use any of his daughter or wife in these illusions as it would only piss him off even more. I even make two fake me at both of his sides, trying to attack him.
Unfortunately for me, it didn't stop him in the slightest.
He ignored the illusion and didn't change his fist trajectory, and while I was able to shoot out the web and hit his fist, but the only thing it managed to do was to cover it with the web.
Hopefully, it will soften the impact. I greeted my teeth, and then it hit me. I flew several meters before hitting a car, and even then, it was pushed back a bit.
I'm suddenly missing getting hit by a truck.
'Karen, am I still alive?'
Karen: "You are, but are you sure that you can survive long enough for help to arrive?"
She sounded worried.
'It's not that, I'm sure. I must do it. I have a kid on the way, and I don't plan on making Lala a single high-school mother. And I didn't even get to resurrect Koro-sensei back from the dead. I need to see Rio and Kaede again, too, so I can't allow myself to die. Trust me.'
Karen: "...If you lie to me, I'll get your soul either back to this body or to a new one. I'll hunt you down even if you'll reincarnate in fucking Bocu no pico, and I'll make your new life living hell for lying to me."
'If that makes you feel better... Any advice?'
Karen: "Dodge punches, hit hard, and don't die."
'I hate that your advice is technically correct.'
Gid showed in front of me in an instant. He looked at his fist with my blood on it that had already destroyed the web and was trying its luck on his hand, but he used his energy to vaporize it immediately.
Gid: "Quite the blood you've got here."
Ryoto: "Sometimes it feels like a bane of my existence and the reason for my bad luck."
I got up, wiped the blood coming from my nose, and cast it away, making a few new holes in the road.
Gid: "But I must say you are more durable than I gave you credit for, but it looks like you can still bleed when you stop dodging like an annoying mosquito."
Ryoto: "Sad that I can't say the same about you."
It seems that I would need to use more blood to even harm him, but that's not efficient in any way.
Worst of all, it was only about two minutes since we started. I'm literally and figuratively fucked.
As I was in a staring contest with Gid, a concentrated stream of water flew at Gid that he, as usual, cut in half with his tail.
Jugemu: "I suppose the appropriate thing to say in this situation is, am I late to the party, is it not?"
Jugemu came to my help with a smile.
I suddenly see hope in surviving a bit longer.
