Chapter 468: Fight for the prize (part 2)
“All bets are now in, and the fight will now start!” Kai shouted.
Immediately, Innu was seen as the first person to charge in as he ran across the hard ground.
‘I know Austin is strong, big, and it"s like going up against a solid wall. So I need to use all the momentum I can get.’
When Innu was close enough, he decided to use a move that never failed him when taking on a big opponent. Jumping up in the air, with his knee forward, Innu leapt up to an incredible height, as his knee was right where Austin’s face would be.
Quickly, Austin had covered his face, his arms were already close to his head so it was easy for him to make a guard. The knee banged right into his forearms, causing them to start throbbing but it was nothing that Austin couldn"t take.
After receiving the hit, Austin went to throw out a punch of his own. It looked heavy and strong. Spinning, Innu managed to avoid the hit, and get closer to Austin at the same time. When spinning Innu swung his elbow out and hit Austin right in the face.
A loud crack sound was heard by everyone and the crowd couldn"t help but wince as they heard the noise and imagined how much the attack had to have hurt.
“I think people might have underestimated Innu too much just by looking at the size difference.” Kai commented. “These are the core members of the Howlers, and no one is weak on our team!”
After saying those words and what looked like Austin falling to the ground, he placed out his leg and s.h.i.+fted all of his weight on his thigh, not allowing him to fall down. From the awkward position, Austin started to throw a punch towards Innu.
“I knew you wouldn"t go down just from that!” Innu shouted, after all he had seen Austin get hit with a baseball bat to the head and still stand. That"s why Innu was throwing out a kick toward Austin even though he was already falling down.
However, the kick had been grabbed with Austin’s left hand and a punch had been thrown, right towards Innu’s side. Letting go of the leg, Innu’s body was lifted up in the air, and everyone could see his eyes bulging out, and spit shot out from his mouth.
Eventually Innu landed on the ground, and had his hands holding onto his side. Everyone was stunned.
“Is… he okay, that punch, I could hear it, I think he might have broken the other guy"s ribs!” One of the onlookers said.
To them, it seemed like the fight was certainly over. Innu was still on the ground, trying to gather air into his lungs as he was winded by the blow as well.
“Innu I thought you were different from the rest.” Austin stated. “Is that why you want the prize so bad, because you realize how weak you are?”
Hearing these words, the veins on Innu’s neck started to bulge. All of the hard training, the faces of those that needed him appeared in his head. Without using his hands, Innu got up using just his legs and knees alone standing up.
“There’s a big difference between me and you Austin.” Innu said, as he got his breath but could feel the pain in his side. He was certain that something had broken. “I have a real reason to fight, so I will always get up!”
Innu charged in again, toward Austin, and just like before it looked like Austin was ready to block whatever was coming his way, but instead of jumping or leaping up, when Innu got close, he used all the strength in his legs to deliver a powerful and devastating kick.
The leg was lifted off the ground, and slammed right into Austin"s thigh.
Immediately, Austin felt the impact.
‘It feels like someone grabbed a sledge hammer and slammed it into my leg!”
It wasn"t just one kick though, before Austin could do anything, the second Innu’s foot had reached back into position, he lifted it again and performed another kick straight after.
From two kicks on the thigh, Austin could feel that it was numb, he wanted to move away, but his legs were already shaking.
‘These are incredibly strong kicks, and If I hadn"t trained then I would have fallen down by now, but it"s because of you that I trained, I trained not just my upper body but my legs as well!’
Innu could tell that Austin was on his last legs, if he just kicked him a couple more times, then Austin would fall and Innu could finish him off with a knee straight to his chin, rattling his head and ending the fight.
Once again, his leg went down and Innu threw it out towards the same thigh, no one could see but it had already started to swell. It was a strong blow that landed, and everyone could now visibly see Austin"s legs shaking.
Regardless, this time, Austin had grabbed onto the leg, he then pulled Innu forward, and grabbed him by his shoulder with his other arm. Innu attempted to hit Austin in the face to break free, but Austin was taking the hits as he lifted Innu’s body into the air, and then slammed his body down right onto the concrete ground.
The second Austin had finished his move, he fell to one knee, his leg could no longer support his body, but at the same time, Innu couldn"t get up off the ground.
“It looks like we have our Winner, let"s take them both to the hospital as soon as possible, and after that… we can give you your prize. Congratulations, Austin.” Kai smiled.
