Chapter 175: Acornhull's Warriors (2)

That warrior from Acornhull finally rose though with incredible difficulty.

"Fighting only for glory like in a tournament is different from fighting for the protection of others." Ivan hissed. "You have more motivation because it relates to other people's lives."

Naomi, already a few inches from the door, stopped in her tracks and turned around.

Suddenly Ivan was in front of Naomi and hugged her.

"Heaaah!" The man threw his tribe friend's body far away.

Naomi landed in a wet cotton field, rolling for a few meters. However, she hastily got up even though she staggered.

"Even in such a state, you still lost to Leva." Ivan ran and jumped, delivering the knee attack used by Leva back then.

Naomi rolled on the ground again as soon as the knee hit her chest.

"Please, surrender, Naomi!" Ivan shouted, trying to beat the sound of the rain getting heavier.

Their bodies are now covered in mud. Ivan just stood still, looking at the woman with a sad expression. Meanwhile, Naomi struggles to stand up. She continued to hold her chest and fell several times as her legs almost stood up.

"Why!? Why can't I be as strong as you guys!?" Naomi was crying loudly. "I want more power! Give me more power!!!"

Naomi's last scream made me shudder. The voice that came out of the woman's mouth was like coming from a beast that shouldn't exist in this realm. Yes, it reminds me of the moment Manu used Devil's tears.

Finally, Naomi managed to stand on her two feet, screamed again, then jumped high. I can't believe that woman can jump very high like that. She could pass the distance of seven meters from Ivan with ease, without running first.

Ivan shielded his head from the woman's claws, leaving his left forearm adorned with five longitudinal wounds. Before Ivan had time to check the wound, Naomi had attacked him again. This time Ivan could only dodge the claws that kept coming from his enemy. The man failed to do so several times, so the scratches hit his body in various parts.

Instead of running out of stamina, Naomi is getting faster and fiercer. Ivan had more trouble dodging and couldn't do anything about it because his body was becoming more and more covered with wounds.

If it continues like this, Ivan might bleed out from these injuries. It would be fatal for him.

However, he led Naomi somewhere. The two of them were already close to the well.

"Arrrghhh!!!" Ivan grabbed Naomi's body and threw her into the well, but Naomi was able to hold on to the edge.

Ivan wasted no time and beat both of Naomi's hands, but the woman still managed to hold on.

"Is this the hero from Acornhull!?" Naomi screamed, her eyes getting redder and her face getting more and more ferocious. "What hero uses dirty means to defeat his opponent!?"

"Dirty ways can save your life in war!" Ivan was still trying to get Naomi's grip off the edge of the well. "If I continue to fight you in an honorable manner, I may die!"

Still unable to let go of Naomi's grip, Ivan punched his opponent in the head. However, Naomi showed no sign of pain or staggering. She kept a savage gaze and grimaced at Ivan.

It wasn't until Ivan had punched him dozens of times that Naomi finally couldn't focus anymore. Even so, Ivan still couldn't let go of his fellow tribe's grip from the edge of the well.

Ivan looked around and found Manu's long wooden chair near the house. The man from Acornhull stood up, intending to run for the chair. Instead, he stumbled and fell forward. Perhaps this was due to the effects of the attacks on his head earlier and his wounds.

His consciousness began to wane.

Meanwhile, Naomi is also struggling to climb up.

Ivan forced himself to get up and was finally able to take the chair. However, Naomi had already taken out half of her body.

"Heaahhhhh!!!" With a deafening scream, he banged the chair against Naomi's head. The impact was so strong that the chair shattered in two, and Naomi's hands fell off the edge of the well.

Holy shit.

I can't believe my own eyes. Naomi managed to stick her fingers into the wall of the well, keeping herself from plunging down.

"You won't be able to kill me!!! I will live until I can beat Leva!!!" Naomi roared with a face full of blood. The distance from the top of the well is only about two meters.

"You are fucking insane." Ivan backed away, looking for something else.

And finally, his gaze fell on a large rock the size of an adult's embrace, some distance from the well.

Hey, you're not going to use that, are you? That rock looks so heavy, Ivan.

My guess was wrong. The man approached the giant rock with staggered steps and almost fell several times.

Once in front of the stone, Ivan took a deep breath.

"Errrrgghhh!!!" And he started to pick it up.

I was squeezing my head at the insane feat. With every muscle contracting violently and a face that looked like it was in pain, Ivan managed to lift the rock, just as a loud thunder rumbled.

He put the stone on his shoulder and carried it down to the well again, though with increasingly limp steps.

Is he really hurt?

Once reaching the well, Ivan found Naomi creeping up and only a meter away from the edge.

"Are you still willing to kill Leva!?" Ivan shouted with all his might.

"I will defeat her, and I will be the strongest." Naomi's voice became more and more muffled.

Ivan gritted his teeth. His eyes narrowed as if he was in tears.

"Then I apologize." Ivan sighed, then threw the big rock he was carrying.

The rock slammed into Naomi, instantly sending her free fall. Her body and the rock made a loud rumble as they finally hit the water.

Ivan looked at the massive ripple in the water well, staggered back a few steps, then falling.
