"You piece of…" She muttered as she lifted her hand and unleashed another pulse of wind, throwing the axe ofcourse and stopping its kinetic force almost completely.
'System, Observe on that.' Alan thought as he tried something new, what if he could use his observation skill on the wind magic skill thing that Johan was using.
[ Observation has been activated! ]
[ Analysis is in progress! ]
[ Analysis Complete! ]
[ Name: Basic Wind Gust. ]

[ Does User wish to further analyse the skill? ]
[ Yes ] [ No ]
'Yes' Alan thought almost instantly, before he was forced to dodge to the side as a strong wind blast was launched towards his position.
"Are you just going to keep using those weak wind gusts over and over? Don't have anything more special?" Alan said, his tone intentionally amused, and almost teasing and belitteling in a way that was carefully crafted.
He didn't want Johan to fully go insane with rage, that was a risk that he wasn't willing to take, he simply needed her to be emotional enough that she would lose at least a part of her rational thinking.
"You… you really…" Johan muttered as she surged forwards, this time running directly towards Alan.
The apartment was small in the first place, she would reach him almost instantly.
[ Enhanced Analysis has been activated! ]
[ Enhanced Analysis target: Basic Wind Gust. ]
[ Analysis Progress: 1% ] [ ETA: 3 Minutes. ]
'An ETA? That's a first.' Alan thought as he put his hand forward, one slight further away from his body than the other in a sort of pose and yet he wasn't holding anything.
Atleast he wasn't until a dozen motes of light appeared out of thin air and converged into his hand and then extended, forming a complete steel combat spear in his hand, the tip directly facing Johan who had been rushing towards him.
Her eyes widened, but she couldn't stop, she had already committed too much to the motion, but she also wasn't an opponent that would be defeated so easily.
Her eyes narrowed an in an instant, she lifted her left arm up to the side and launched a wind gust, using all her power, she couldn't control it's output as she had to release it instantly.
For a mere second, her was in the air, about to get speared right through her chest and in the next second, a powerful wind gust of the same level as the one that had cleared the entire room erupted out of her hand, instantly breaking her wrist and sending her body flying sideways and into the wall.
Alan's eyes narrowed, he didn't rush after her, he felt something wrong, it was a sort of instinct, defeating her shouldn't be this easy, atleast he didn't think so, if it was then she had basically defeated herself without him doing anything. And Alan had a lot of thoughts about Johan, about this mysterious person that had done so much and already caused him more harm than perhaps anyone else in his life had, but one thing that he didnt think was that she was a dumbass.
And in the very next instant, his theory was proved correct as the woman in a man's body lifted herself up slowly and then the hands went towards the mouth and slowly started pulling, and pulling, until the jaw was broken and yet the hands didn't stop as the simply pulled even more.
The sight was grotesque, it was like watching… it was like watching some horror movie where the monster had gone inside someones body and now it was forcefully coming out, without any consent or care to the host.
'No… its not 'like', it's exactly what this shit is.' Alan thought in pure disgust as he removed one hand from the spear and in an instant equipped another set of daggers and threw three of them, one after the other directly towards her.
The daggers hit the body with bloody thunk sounds and yet the hands and Johan ignored them completely as the process continued and then he saw it.
From the inside of Johan's mouth, a head, another human head was appearing as it slowly but surely was pushing itself up as another set of hands launched themselves up from inside the throat and grabbed the mouth and pulled even further together with the other set of hands, until finally the head popped through and then the rest of the body.
The previous body was already completely ruined, looking like a skin mask, or some kind of hollow husk.
'This…crazy fucking bitch.' Alan thought as he took a step back, his gaze going to the door for a moment before turning to focus back onto the horror before him.
The door was completely blocked with furniture, and there was no way that he would be able to remove them without risk of being hit by something on his back.
"I didn't expect that I'd have to lose my current body whilst fighting against you, I really didn't y'know? Now what can I even do, I guess… You'll have to compensate me for the damages won't you darling?" The woman asked, as she stood before Alan, utterly and completely naked, she was small, barely five foot tall, with a lithe body and skin that looked completely unblemished without a single mark on it, as if she was just a newborn baby that had just been given birth to.
"I really don't think that I want to be your darling, how about you just lie flat on your stomach and let me put a knife through your brain, I'd like that to be the compensation that I give you, Honey." Alan said as his pupils started shrinking slightly, the palms of his hands starting to sweat.
