"Talking"
—----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Call me a coward all you want, but I'm not just gonna sit around and let you recover!
Gray grinned as Turles coughed out another glob of blood, clutching at his chest in pain. He cocked his fist back, coating it with a layer of Ki, and then disappeared as he used [Instant Transmission]. He appeared right above the coughing ape, his fist slamming down on the back of his head roughly.
1,988,570HP! (327,838,868/376,360,100)
Turles was caught off guard as Gray repeated the 'teleport behind you' sneak attack, but he once again barely took any damage as he just hunched over a bit. He spun around immediately, swinging a fist up at Gray even as his expression was a bit strained, but the attack was slower than before.
Gray leaned to the side, still barely dodging despite how much slower Turles was now, and launched another punch of his own forward. As he did, Turles didn't try to dodge, instead just slamming his other fist forward in an exchange of blows.
1,785,620HP! (326,053,248/376,360,100)
-2,157,900 HP! (208,814,780/212,868,200)
Gray's fist slammed into Turles' face, barely making the large ape budge as his head was tilted back a bit. At the same time, Turles' fist slammed into Gray's gut, making him grunt as he struggled not to let the wind be knocked out of him. The two were at a standstill for a moment, Gray pushing strength into his arm to push Turles back while the other Saiyan did the same.
Gray finally broke it as he leaned back, letting Turles' fist slide across his gut and go past him. He then raised his leg, lashing out with a huge roundhouse kick aimed at Turles' face. The other Saiyan might've had blood dripping from his maw as his shoulder tensed and twitched from the effects of the fruit, but he wasn't completely helpless as he ducked under the kick. He followed up the duck with an upper-cut, launching his fist upward as Gray tried to lean back out of the way, but the fist barely clipped his chin.
-1,578,250 HP! (207,236,530/212,868,200)
Gray grunted as his brain shook from the impact, quickly backing up as he created some space between himself and the huffing Turles.
I got a bit ahead of myself. He's suffering from the effects of eating the fruit too quickly and slowly dying as a result, but he's not dead yet.
Gray wasn't at an insane disadvantage anymore, but the man across from him was still over double his power level. It wouldn't be an easy fight by any means.
"GRAH!" Turles lurched slightly in the air, blood flowing out of his mouth again as he glared at Gray, "Damn it! I'll kill you quick, you bastard!"
Turles shot forward, and Gray raised his hands, launching out a flurry of Ki-blasts at the man. He and Turles both knew that a prolonged fight guaranteed Gray's victory, and Gray intended to use that against him.
He'll fight desperately and aggressively.
1,121,080HP! (324,932,168/376,360,100)
1,257,910HP! (323,674,258/376,360,100)
1,073,110HP! (322,601,148/376,360,100)
1,448,940HP! (321,152,208/376,360,100)
Turles continued to charge forward recklessly, barely caring for the Ki-blasts slamming into him as he only dodged a couple. He reached Gray quickly, his fist bursting forward at Gray's head, but he was too slow as Gray used [Prediction] to lean out of the way of its arc.
He's quicker than me, but not by much. [Prediction] is enough to close that gap.
Gray's own arm shot forward in a counterattack, but he hastily pulled it back as Turles' other fist slammed toward him.
Trading blows isn't good for me here. He's got too much HP and END.
Gray was forced on the backfoot, using [Prediction] to narrowly dodge a barrage of punches. His body blurred as Turles' arms did the same, looking as if he was punching with a dozen different limbs instead of two.
I just need to wait for an opening!
Gray's body protested against him as he continued to dodge, backpedalling in the air as blow after blow blasted around him, breaking through the air and sending gusts out in every direction. Turles didn't let up for even a second, raining down attack after attack as Gray barely managed to keep up. But, just as Gray hoped, an opening did come.
"Greah!" Turles coughed abruptly, lurching forward slightly as his arm twitched outward and the muscle underneath bulged a bit. His rain of blows stopped for just a split second, but that was all the time Gray needed. Gray stopped backpedalling, instead lashing out with his fist as Ki coated it and [Attack Boost] activated.
2,891,270HP! (311,360,618/376,360,100)
Turles' head jerked back as Gray's fist pounded into him, and the situation was reversed as Gray didn't let up. Another fist slammed into Turles' face a moment later, then one into his stomach, and then another into his chest.
2,982,110HP! (308,378,508/376,360,100)
2,755,120HP! (305,623,388/376,360,100)
2,454,070HP! (303,169,318/376,360,100)
Turles was sent reeling from the flurry of blows, unable to recover as some blood started to drip out of his nose. His face twisted in pain as he hunched over from the blow to his gut, and Gray quickly followed up by lashing out with his arm. He grabbed the other Saiyans by his shoulder, grunting with effort as he spun around in the air, dragging Turles with him. He released his hold as Turles' back was to the ground, and his body went soaring downward.
As Turles hurtled toward the ground, Gray used [Instant Transmission] at the last second. He appeared above the man just as he was about to make contact with the dirt below, reaching out and slamming his hand down harshly on the back of his head.
3,789,250HP! (299,380,068/376,360,100)
Turles' head snapped into the floor, his brain rattling as a head-shaped crater appeared in the dirt. Gray raised his hand, forming a handgun to take advantage of the Turles' state, but the man was far from finished as his arm stopped twitching for a moment.
"Bastard! I'm done with you!" Turles hissed as Gray's finger flicked, barely rolling out of the way of his Ki-bullet as he shoved himself to his feet, "[Meteor Burst]!"
Gray's eyes widened slightly as Turles lunged forward, suddenly moving even faster than before as even [Prediction] couldn't help him keep up. Turles shot forward, his knee jutting upward as he appeared in front of Gray. Gray raised his guard, but was too slow as the knee slammed into his gut, causing spit to fly from his maw.
-2,599,170 HP! (204,637,360/212,868,200)
Gray's whole body was sent a couple of feet into the air from the force of the knee, and Turles' attack didn't end there. He shot upward before Gray could recover, his fist lashing out and slamming into his face.
-3,185,250 HP! (201,452,110/212,868,200)
Gray barely had time to process the pain in his face before Turles seemingly vanished, appearing above him almost faster than his eyes could track. The man's leg lashed out, slamming directly into Gray's back and sending him plummeting back toward the ground.
-3,579,875 HP! (197,872,235/212,868,200)
Fuck-
Gray barely had time to think one word as pain flowed through his body, and he tensed as he was rocketed toward the floor below. He reached out his arms, gritting his teeth as he tried to slow his descent, but even that didn't work. Just as he was about to reach the floor, Turles appeared under him again in a burst of speed. The other Saiyan jutted his knee up again, slamming it into Gray's gut before he made contact with the dirt.
-3,885,215 HP! (193,987,020/212,868,200)
"GAH!" Spit flew from Gray's mouth as he was laid out over Turles' knee, his body slumping over as his head was inches from the ground. That wasn't the end, as Turles promptly yanked his knee back as both his hands rose up. A double axe-handle came slamming down as Turles' intertwined fists slammed down on Gray's back and sent him straight into the floor.
-4,578,895 HP! (189,408,125/212,868,200)
A crater appeared as Gray slammed into the ground roughly. His head was spinning from the combination of blows, but he gritted his teeth as he forced his body to move. He barely managed to roll out of the way as Turles took a page out of his book, stomping down harshly where his head had just been.
"DIE!" Gray's eyes widened slightly as Turles didn't let up there, instead raising his hand as a small Ki-orb appeared on his palm. He slammed his palm downward, the ball of power aiming directly for Gray's chest as he was ass-flat on the ground.
I can't let that hit!
In the next moment, Gray felt like he was on autopilot as his instincts partially took over. He knew if that Ki-ball connected with his chest, he'd end up with a bloody hole where his heart was, and he'd be dead soon after.
First, one of Gray's hands rose as magical power funneled through his body. In a split second, [Seal of Weakening] was used.
You have cast the [Weakening] debuff on [Turles]!
[Weakening] Effectiveness: 100%
Turles had no MP of his own to counteract the skill, and as a result, grunted as his body felt heavy and weaker.
At nearly the same time, Gray raised his other hand, forcing as much Ki into his hand as he could. Then, he rocketed his hand forward with as much strength as he could muster. A ball of Ki appeared on Gray's hand, and he leaned forward as he shoved his own Ki-orb into Turles.
For a moment, as the two balls met between the men's arms, nothing happened. They sparked against each other like a saw on metal, sending sparks of electricity into the air as a battle of strength started. Even with Gray's skill - which was much higher after his partial evolution, resulting in it lowering Turles' total stats by around 3% - he could barely match the man's strength.
Gray was not only in a worse position, as he was lying on the ground and desperately pushing up as Turles pushed down with the height advantage, but he was also at an overall power level disadvantage. Turles' arm slowly started to push downward, inch by inch, shoving back Gray's attack as his own sparking bright ball of Ki grew closer to Gray's chest.
I can't beat him in a battle of strength… but I don't need to!
Gray just gritted his teeth, his heart pounding in his ears as he desperately held the attack back. If he let up for even a moment, then he'd find himself sitting in front of King Yemma.
Fuckin' fruit, do your shit!
Gray hissed in pain as the heat grew closer to his face, the ball growing closer as Trules towered over him. Turles was offering a similar expression of exertion as he pressed downward, using everything he had to slowly overpower Gray's defense. As he did, his eye twitched slightly, and then his legs started to shake under him as the repercussions of eating another fruit reared its head.
Just a bit more…
Gray narrowed his eyes, shoving back with all his strength as Turles started to falter. The attack that was once only a few inches from slamming into Gray was being pushed back, and Turles had to take a step back as Gray started to sit up. He pressed forward, going from lying near-flat onto the ground to sitting, as Turles had to take another step back.
Now!
Turles' legs twitched again as his quads started to expand in his legs, pressing against his skin and bulging outward. As a result, the man's balance was shaken, and he couldn't stop Gray from making one final desperate push forward. Gray's Ki-ball overpowered Turles', sending him stumbling backward as Gray rose fully to his feet. Turles leaned to the side, his own Ki-ball dispersing as he barely avoided Gray's slamming into his stomach.
"Y-You bastard!" Turles shouted, his eyes wide with rage as he recovered his balance slightly, "I-If it wasn't for this damn fruit!"
"If it wasn't for the fruit, then you'd already be dead, moron," Gray just huffed out, quickly shooting backward as he created space between himself and Turles.
That was too fuckin' close.
Now that Gray's head was cleared a bit, and he wasn't focused on trying to overpower Turles, he analyzed the situation as both he and Turles took a breather, their bodies tensed as they stared each other down.
I can definitely win. He has to keep fighting aggressively - it'll come down to whether he can kill me before the fruit kills him.
Gray knew that a head-on battle wouldn't favor him, as the gap in their power levels was just too great. But, with the fruit constantly rearing its head and destroying Turles from the inside, it would give him moments to take advantage of.
"I'M GONNA KILL YOU, YOU FUCKING COWARDLY RAT!" Turles roared, his eyes filled with rage as he raised his hands, "I DON'T CARE IF I DIE!"
As if the situation could get any worse for Gray, the man's Ki suddenly spiked up around him, flowing upward and filling the air as his eyes stared at Gray with pure hatred. As he did, more blood seemed to flow out of his mouth, his body crumbling even faster as he recklessly used his Ki.
Fuck! He knows he has nothing to lose!
Gray gritted his teeth, tensing his body as the man's Ki started to flare around him wildly. Turles knew he would die from the fruit eventually, no matter if he won the fight or not, and was going to do whatever it took to take Gray down with him.
Suicidal bastards are the worst kind of opponents!
Gray's eyes widened as a ring of Ki appeared in front of Turles - yes, a ring. It was like a flat circle, but the entire inner portion was empty. The Ki-ring itself looked bright red, almost as if it were made of lava instead of Ki. Turles' Ki continued to flare out wildly, and the ring seemed to become unstable, shaking and pulsing as it grew even larger.
As Gray stared down the ring of death, an ominous feeling fell over him as a chill went down his spine.
"I DON'T CARE IF THIS DAMN FRUIT KILLS ME, I'LL KILL YOU FIRST!" Turles shouted abruptly, "[KILL DRIVER!]"
Why do I feel like-
Just as quickly as the ring appeared, it shot forward, blasting at Gray in a split second. The ring looked almost as if it had teleported - one second it was floating in front of Turles, and the next it was mere inches away from Gray. As the pure-red ring filled his vision for a moment, Gray's eyes went wide
I'm about to die?
