Chapter 2395: A Broken Mirror
For a moment, he was frozen.
Unfortunately for him, Master Sera was not kind enough to let the opportunity slide.
BOOOM!!
He barely managed to scramble together a guard before the powerful attack crashed into it.
"Imagine never outgrowing childhood fears," Master Sera sneered. "Does East Panamic Treaty Alliance cover the cost of all the diapers you wear to each fight?"
His eyes sharpened at his words.
BAM BAM BAM!!!
She blasted him with an onslaught of attacks, one after another.
"So tell me, why are you afraid?"
She sounded just like any other concerned and warm clinical psychologist.
It almost made one want to truly open up to her.
"Too powerless to save the people who loved you?"
POW POW POW!!
He barely managed to deal with incoming powerful jabs that threatened to break his nose.
A delightful smile emerged on her face. "Ah... I see."
BAM BAM BAM!!!
His guard shook with the devastating impacts that she peppered him.
"You were never loved in the first place, were you?"
He froze where he stood.
That was a mistake.
BOOOOM!!!
CRACK
A thunderingly swift kick cleanly crashed into his ribs, launching him away with broken ribs. On the outside, Master Sera's expression was relaxed and confident.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Inwardly, however, her mind was furiously engaging in thought. Despite already being under the influence of her pheromones and passive hypnosis, he was not losing control of himself like most Masters did.
'He has extremely disciplined self-control over himself,' she mused. 'This kind of Martial Artist does not lose his temper and go off on a rampage. In which case...'
She would need to break him with despair.
"After all," she sneered. "It's so disgusting that not even the most deviant of perverts wants anything to do with you."
BOOM BOOM BOOM!!!
He skidded away as he defended against her fearsome, unrelenting barrages, only to find himself face-to-face with an onslaught of wind blasts.
WHOOSH
He blew white-hot fire, using the immense temperature to dispel the wind.
"Nobody loves you."
BAM BAM BAM!!!
"Nobody wants you."
POW POW POW!!!
"I feel bad for your mother."
BOOOM!!
A powerful charging impact fueled by winds and sound launched him away.
"If I knew that my unborn child would grow up to be a pathetic coward afraid of everything, I would abort you with my own fists."
He stiffened with each word she uttered, leaving several split seconds of openings where he
was unprotected by any active technique.
SPLAT SPLAT SPLAT!
Her elbow tore away at his flesh, leaving light gashed across his entire body as they flashed in blinding arcs of blood. As she continued speaking, she could feel her provocations working bit by bit. His slip-ups grew more and more frequent, allowing her to land even more attacks and inflict more significant damage with each attack.
But there was no doubt that she had gained a self-reinforcing hold on her opponent. With the way things were tending, it wouldn't be too long before she could kill herself.
She found his truly extraordinary discipline to be a shame; she was a glutton for easy targets. She would have loved to watch them commit suicide in front of everyone she would be able to use to get a head start on manipulating all the other Martial Masters in the battle to commit
suicide as well.
"Oh well," A cruel smile emerged on her face. "Time to cure your fear."
In the blink of an eye, she appeared before him with a jab surging towards his neck in a
moment of weakness, ready to kill him then and there.
What followed exceeded her fathoming.
WHOOSH
The world disappeared.
In its place, a familiar broken mirror appeared before her.
