Chapter 9 One Inch Punch

After 5 days of being pent up in the cage doing nothing but manipulating mana in various ways, Aizel is not only effective with mana, but he also feels confident about escaping from here.

"I can now not only manipulate mana in a dagger but also boost my body in various ways." Aizel reflected while sweating profusely all over his body.

"Can you now bend the cage bars or cut them with a dagger?" Henry inquired, his face flushed with worry. They just have today to flee because Larisa will return tomorrow and all their planning will be for naught.

"It's difficult to cut the bars with a dagger because the dagger isn't of high grade and won't be able to handle so much mana." Aizel looked at the small dagger, then at the bar, and replied, "But I can bend the bars for our escape," winking at the old man.

The old man's face lit up with a smile. Finally, after 6 months, he will be able to escape from this cave and reunite with his daughter.

"Let us just rest for a moment and re-plan our strategy. We'll escape from this cave in the evening." Aizel stated as he sat towards the corner, that he was tired of trying and coming up with new ways to use mana over the past several days.

He frequently had a sharp pain in his brain while using mana or anytime he tried to imagine and perform certain difficult techniques.

"I can't wait to get to town and discover more about the world's magic and powers." Aizel was ecstatic just thinking about it all, so he closed his eyes and fell asleep for a few hours. "I should also have a backup plan if something goes wrong somehow."

While Aizel slept, he had a vivid dream of himself traveling to a large city and engaging in powerful battles with creatures and other magical beings. In his dream, he found himself able to easily use mana and perform techniques with little effort or pain, much unlike what he experienced when awake.

After 6 hours of sleep, Henry woke up Aizel, as they didn't want to take any chances with their escape. The sooner they escape, the better.

Aizel straightened up, stretching his arms as far as he could, still remembering his dream.

Aizel glanced in the direction of the weapon rack and stared at the swords that were there. "I am itching to use a sword" Aizel whispered while suddenly a noise resounded where the entrance of the cave was there.

"Hello, my babies, did you miss me?" Larisa's seductive voice resounded in the cave. Some of the people who were still alive in the cage looked in the direction of the entrance to see a beautiful figure slowly walking toward the cage.

"What the fuck is she doing here? Didn't you say she'd come tomorrow?" Aizel fired a question towards Henry while looking towards Larisa.

Meanwhile, Henry remained silent, his expression gloomy, as if he had lost all hope. He knelt down on his knees, mumbling "We are dead" over and over.

"Damn it, the old man has gone insane; it's time for plan B." Aizel thought while Larisa came in front of their cage, looking straight into Aizel's deep black eyes. Aizel's heart raced as Larisa's gaze met his.

"That face, those eyes, that innocence... ahhh...I can't wait to suck you dry, Aizel." Larisa said this to Aizel, slightly moaning.

"But first comes this old man." Larisa looked towards Henry.

"Wait, I have to ask something first from you." Aizel spoke while mustering up his courage and looking straight into the red eyes of Larisa.

Larisa didn't respond; she just looked at him with interest.

"Why did you inquire about my family background and offer to assist me if you only wanted to kidnap me and steal my life energy?" Aizel asked with a serious expression.

"You're such a naive kid," Larisa replied to his question with a chuckle. "Do you think I'd do something like this to someone from a powerful family? First, I seriously considered helping you, knowing that if you belonged to some family, they might provide me with some gold or a reward."

"But after you told me how you lost your memories and don't remember anything, I just took advantage of the fact that no one was going to help or rescue you," Larisa replied with a creepy smile on her face.

Oh, is that so...Aizel's emotions plummeted as he appeared depressed.

"Then, can you fulfill my one request? I heard you sucked life energy, so how does it work? I mean, do you really suck it?" Aizel asked with pure intention.

Meanwhile, Larisa examined him from head to toe before licking her lips and staring at his nether region.

"Don't worry," Larisa started opening the cage and then stepped towards Aizel, moving her hands towards the nether region of Aizel while whispering in his ears, "I will take good care of you."

"You know, I know a way to make women wet in a completely different way." Aizel placed his hand near her stomach while Larisa looked at him with lust.

"It's a technique called the one-inch punch." Aizel suddenly channeled mana into his palm and delivered the one-inch punch with full force at Larisa's stomach from such a close distance.

The impact was so great that it sent Larisa flying straight into the walls of the cave, leaving cracks all over the wall.
