"Come on, is that all you’ve got? Surely you can do better than that?" I taunted my opponent, as I evaded a fireball and countered, "Take this, Aqua Skill: Water Arrow!"
I really don’t need to yell out the name of my attacks, but it looks like I’m a pretty bad match up for this guy, so I’m giving him a handicap by letting him know exactly what I’m throwing at him.
He let out a cry of pain as my arrow struck his left shoulder and pierced through it, blood gushing out as his left arm slumped down. See what I mean? Even though I yelled it out, he still couldn’t dodge it.
His Elemental Skill attacks are very similar to mine, I’ve got the Pyro, Aqua and Aero Skills, and he seems to have the same three Skills, plus our output levels seem similar too. However, I also have the Physical Skill, and I can use Accelerate at x20.
So, in other words, I’m a much stronger version of him. His hand to hand combat skills are a fair bit better than mine, admittedly, but my vastly superior speed gives me the edge, and to a pretty significant extent at that.
The vast majority of Category 0s, be it the current lot or those throughout history, have had the Physical Skill, and mastery over Accelerate, or at least the Electro Skill speed boosting technique Reflex Shock or the Aero Skill speed boosting technique Jet Boost.
Very few Category 0s don’t have a speed boosting ability, and those few tend to have had other powers or physical abilities that make up for it...but this guy doesn’t seem to have that. Eden’s criteria for recognizing someone as a Category 0 seems to be a bit lower than ours.
Well, anyway, I guess I might as well put at end to this now. No sense in dragging it out like this, after all.
I then shot towards my opponent, forming water around my right hand as I evaded his desperate attacks and began to close in on him.
"Sorry, but it’s time to die...Aqua Skill: Water Slash!" I exclaimed, as I backed him into a corner and swung my hand across at his neck, slicing his throat open and killing him, blood gushing down onto his chest and torso as his body slumped to the ground.
Aaaand done. That was easy. Now, then...how’s Osiris doing? Huh? He’s...not really doing anything, he’s just evading his opponent’s attacks.
"Oh, are you finished? In that case, please take over. I simply can’t bring myself to go near this vile, disgusting animal," He remarked as he noticed my gaze.
"Wha-...hey, that wasn’t the deal!" I protested indignantly.
"I’m afraid it is what it is. Now, go on, capture him. Sever his limbs or something. That other Outlier can heal any injury, after all," He pointed out, before swiftly backing away and getting some distance.
That stupid, clean freak jerk...I can’t believe he’s forcing me to fight this guy!
"So, you’re gonna fight me now, huh? Mm, that’s one hell of a fuckable body you’ve got there, girly. Why don’t you get closer?" He smirked with a lick of his lips as he leered at my chest, pitching a tent as he stared.
Eww, so gross...I wanna beat the shit out of him, but also, I don’t want to touch him. Guess I’ll have to tear him apart from a distance then.
Suddenly, he burst out an angled pillar of earth beneath his feet to launch himself straight at me, arching his back forward and aiming his junk at my face as he closed in.
Ugh, he stinks. Talk about repulsive.
I then formed a wind blade along my palm as I sidestepped and then swung it across...and slashing down the bulge in his pants, as he fell onto the ground and tumbled away.
For a moment, he was silent, a look of horror on his face as he stared at the blood pouring of his crotch, before his gaze shifted to the severed half of his dick...which I then shot a fireball at, burning it to ash.
And then, he let out an anguished scream of pain, his hands clutching his crotch in agony, as he rolled around maniacally, the blood dripping out from between his fingers as he desperately tried to stop the bleeding.
"Calm down, you’re not gonna die from that," I remarked icily, as I took aim and fired out wind slashed at him, severing his arms from around the elbows, and his legs from around the knees.
"Ahhhh, it hurts, it hurts so much! No...no, no, no, my cock! You bitch, you cut it off!" He screeched, before gasping in pain as I blasted out fireballs at the wounds his blood was gushing out of, searing them shut and stopping the bleeding, to keep him from dying.
Our orders, unfortunately, are to rescue or capture all of Eden’s Outliers, we were told not to kill any of them...so as much as I want to kill this disgusting piece of shit, I unfortunately can’t.
Oh, looks like he’s passed out...was it from the pain or the blood loss? Probably both.
The fact that he’s still alive is better than he deserves for everything he’s done...his limbs will probably be regenerated, but I’m gonna put in a special request to leave his crotch as it is. Or better yet, cut off what’s left of it.
"Ugh, what a horrid odor...I’m going on ahead, you haul his body," Coughed Osiris, looking nauseous.
"Uh-uh, no way, absolutely not," I protested immediately.
"You’re delusional if you think I’m touching that," he responded, as he began making his way towards the door.
"Funny, you took the words right out of my mouth. Fine, then at least Neo and tell him to come here and portal this creep away," I sighed in exasperation.
"You could easily do so yourself."
"That’s not the point! You contributed nothing here, so this is the least you can do!" I snapped reaching the end of my rope.
"Hm? What do you mean? I believe I contributed plenty."
He...he can’t be serious right now, can he? I wanna smack him...

"We haven’t encountered any enemies for over half an hour now...think we got them all?" I inquired with a weary sigh.
"This place is pretty big, so there could be a bunch still hiding out somewhere," Pointed out Liling in response, whom I was carrying on my back.
Not gonna lie, it’s super tiring to walk around for this long with another person on your back, but it’s totally worth it...the soft sensation pressing onto my back, plus the equally soft sensation in my hands, which were holding onto her thighs to keep her from falling off, so worth it.
"Oh, mon dieu, I am tired of this...these corridors are like an endless maze!" Groaned Elise, a grumpy look on her face.
"Can’t we, like, just leave and then Neo can use his portals to destroy the base of this building and have it collapse in on itself. Anyone still in hiding will be crushed to death, problem solved," I surmised objectively.
"Oh? That’s not a bad idea at all, I shall call Neo right away and tell him!" Grinned Elise with a hopeful spark in her eyes.
"Well...I guess that could work. But unless all four Outliers have been captured, I doubt he’ll agree to it," Responded Liling with a wry smile, before tapping my shoulder, "Hey, I think I should be able to walk on my own now, my stamina feels more or less recovered."
"Oh, you sure? I don’t mind carrying you a bit longer," I said as nonchalantly as possible.
"Hm? What, haven’t had enough of squeezing my thighs and feeling my boobs on you back?" She inquired slyly.
Crap, she knew!?
"To be fair, I wasn’t squeezing-."
"Actually, you were...maybe you didn’t realize it, but you kept lightly shifting your grips around them," She grinned, as she leaned over my shoulder and narrowed her eyes at me.
"Uh...my bad, I guess?" I replied sheepishly, as I let her down.
"It’s fine, no need to apologize. It’s the least I can offer after you saved my life," She smirked as she traced her fingertip across my jawline.
"Wow...this interaction is so hot," Suddenly spoke up Elise, ruining the mood.
"Huh...I kinda forgot you were here too," I sighed in exasperation.
"Yeah, me too, actually," Laughed Liling with a nod.
"Wha-...that is so rude!" She responded indignantly.
"Well, whatever...go on and call Neo, I’m done with this place," I remarked with a groan, "Let’s get this over with so that we can leave already."
