Korra vs Gilbert 1
1014 Words
Gilbert looked towards the source of the pressure he was feeling. He was not necessarily scared, he just had this feeling that he should be careful.
Korra approached Gilbert with a little caution. Even if she had a lot of skills, Gilbert was still a level 12 berserker. It would be tough to win against him. Actually, if it were a level 12 mage or ranger, Korra would not be this cautious. But berserkers were a different matter. Their physical capabilities were of the charts.
Korra's silver hair flailed in the wind as she walked calmly towards Gilbert. Gilbert was tongue tied. He was confused. How was a little girl emitting such pressure? Not even he could do this!
"S-such pressure!" Gilbert murmured unconsciously.
"Hmm? Pressure?" Korra asked with a little bit of confusion.
"Ah! Are you talking about the force baring down on you? You are still young so you don't know this, but this isn't pressure, this is prescence!" Immediately the force increased as Gilbert backed away.
"Prescence? What do you mean?"
"You see, most people haven't realised it. Pressure and Prescence are both forces that emit from ones powered consciousness. The thing is pressure is released when an overpowering force is present. In other words, the person you are facing is on a whole different level than you. On the other hand, prescence is a force that is released despite the raw power of that being. It is the instinct of a lesser being to automatically bow before a higher being despite their actual power levels."
Gilbert stood there with a confused expression. Korra face palmed.
"Are you that dumb! Haah.... F-"
"Look, little girl, I don't know how you are able to release such pressure or prescence or whatever, but I do not want to hurt you." Gilbert narrowed his eyes. "Leave. Now."
Korra's eyes twinkled with amusement.
"Hohoho.... You sure a fierce, for someone so young"
Swish!
Korra used the demon clans footwork technique. She gathered mana into her hand and punched towards Gilbert. Gilbert's eyes grew wide with surprise!
'Wha-what! This girl was able to gather mana so quickly? Isn't that an advanced mana technique?'
Gilbert raised his arms to block Korra's attack.
"Hmm... You sure are skilled, but you lack experience!"
Twisting her body, Korra redirected the mana and her momentum towards her left leg and kicked Gilbert in the gut.
Swosh! BOOM!
Gilbert flew backwards with immense speed. The force from the momentum cleared the dust in the atmosphere. He crushed hard into a mountain a few dozen metres away.
"Phew! He has a tough bod- Urgh!"
Korra almost spewed blood again. It seems the recoil from using the footwork technique was taking a huge toll on her. Even though her mouth was closed, a trickle of blood leaked out.
'I have to end this fight soon, otherwise I might die here."
Rufus, who was still lying on the ground, looked like he had just seen a ghost. Since the dust had cleared, he had seen Gilbert fly away like a paper bag. He was officially scared of Korra.
'She's a monster! A monster!' Rufus thought with fear.
............
Gilbert lay in the rubble with an injured body. He wasn't too badly injured. He could still fight. The problem was, he didn't want to. It's not like he can just attack a kid, but on the other hand the kid wanted to kill him. It seemed like she was working for Rufus. Otherwise why else would she attack him?
Gilbert was a very good and kind person. He helped anyone he could, and people appreciated him for it. Now Rufus, in his greed, had killed all the people of Gilbert's merchant caravan. Most of the people he had painstakingly helped. That was outrageous. He still believed Rufus could be saved though. No matter what Rufus did, he was still like a brother to him. And he was going to make Rufus see that, even if he had to beat up a little kid. At the thought of Korra, Gilbert smirked.
'That girl... She is a complete monster'
Blood trickled down his face. With his new found resolve, he murmured;
"Limit Breaker"
Suddenly Gilbert's aura became a chaotic mess. A red ferocious aura consumed his whole body. His irises that had turned white, now turned red. All the fat that had evaporated into stream compressed itself and went back into his body.
.........
Korra ran towards where Gilbert had crushed.
'That guy's skin is tough, I don't think that was enough to stop him. My body won't last long. Any longer will permanently damage my meridians'
As Korra got closer, the atmosphere around her begun to change drastically.
"What the hell? Something is wrong."
The more Korra got closer to Gilbert the heavier the aura became. Korra stopped abruptly as she stared at Gilbert.
"It seems you were holding back on me.... Tch. Bastard" Korra chuckled.
Suddenly Gilbert jumped into the air. He raised an arm up. Immediately, the muscles of the arm became large and more concentrated. He punched Korra as he came down.
Korra used her footwork to dodge the attack. She landed a few metres away but immediately jumped into the air. However before she could attack Gilbert, another fist punched her into the ground.
'Wh-what? That speed! Even with all that fat, he's still this fast' Korra thought as she crushed into the ground. A large crater was formed. Gilbert also landed near the crater.
"Please little girl, let's stop this. There's no reason for you to get hurt like this!"
"Tch. f**k you bastard! Don't you dare get cocky just because you managed to land a hit!' Korra said as she pushed herself off the ground.
'Tch! I used the footwork technique again. I'm almost out off time. I am pretty sure my stamina stats is in the negative right now. I have to increase the power output a bit'
Breathing in, Korra begun to draw in the full power of the Infant Shadow steps. However....
Swhish!
Gilbert charged straight towards Korra!
