The Black Swan Behind (Beauty of Fire)-Chapter 300

300 Troy Roner V.S Pablo Diablo

Emma’s main target was Pablo Diablo; the main leader of the Dragger group. She saw the boy standing casually in the middle of the fighting crowd. He smiled crookedly at Emma.

Emma clenched her fists, then sprinted at him. But suddenly, the corner of her eye caught a large shadow that was flying fast towards her.

It was so fast that Emma felt that she could no longer dodge properly. It was the figure of a tall man directing his flying kick towards her head like a bullet. He had gotten too close to Emma. If she stopped her feet, she could be sure that her neck would be broken by the impact of that long leg.

Finally, Emma decided to immediately fall backwards. She landed on her buttocks and back with a bang, shot straight forward without control, and then rolled sideways.

Calvin, who was fighting several men at once, saw the incident out of the corner of his eye. He immediately ran towards Black, leaving his fight. However, before he could reach the masked man, several other men attacked him from various directions.

Emma glanced at Calvin who looked like he was going to save her even though he was already surrounded by several men. She slowly got up from her prone position, then made a gesture with her hand indicating that she was fine. Calvin responded with a nod even though his face still looked a bit worried.

“Tsk!” Emma stood up while patting her dirty clothes after rolling on the basement dirty floor.

Creed smiled crookedly. “Your reflexes are good too, huh? I thought my kick will get you,”

Emma chuckled. “It seems that you see me so weak. Is it because of our unequal size? Haven’t you ever heard that a small person has nimble movements?”

.....

“Haha... Yes, I’ve heard of it. But from my experience, the strength of a person also follows the size of his body,” He answered with a meaningful look.

Emma shrugged her shoulders. “We’ll find out later,”

On the other hand, Troy, who saw Black fail to reach Pablo because he was already blocked by Creed, decided to be the one who would make Pablo fall.

After slamming an enemy, he approached Pablo who was just standing smiling condescendingly at him.

“Troy Roner,” Pablo said once the big man was standing a few steps in front of him.

“I didn’t think Jita Kyoei would end up getting into a fight with Dragger,” Troy said with a faint smile on his lips.

“Apparently, Jita Kyoei has lost sight of its main purpose, correct?”

Troy shook his head. “Jita Kyoei’s goals never change. However, it’s people like you who make us have to do many things we don’t want to do in order to maintain our goals.”

“So, you’ve started blaming others?” Pablo replied.

“As always, you want to be right. You’re a kid after all.” Troy said.

Pablo laughed and started to walk forward. It was followed by Troy, until they faced each other in a circular pattern.

“It’s been a long time since I punched a Judo fighter. I miss breaking their arms so they can’t slam people anymore.” Pablo said.

Troy responded to him with a laugh “You’re getting talkative. You better make sure you can fight properly.”

Pablo smiled and nodded slowly. Then quickly, he shifted his steps forward with two fists ready.

Pablo Diablo was a Street Fighter. His attack technique was dominated by Kick Boxing. Even though he rarely fights because he was busy taking care of his giant business, his movements were still the same as before. He was fast, just like a bullet fired from a rifle.

From the start, Troy had set his stance. He knew that Pablo was not a kid who could be underestimated even though his behaviour looked like he was. That boy was a leader who was able to gather many strong older men than him just by challenging them to fight, and of course won the fight in the end.

Troy immediately dodged as soon as Pablo’s fist went straight to his face with a very unsettling speed. Even though he managed to dodge it, just as quickly, another fist came from Pablo’s left hand. Of course Troy couldn’t avoid it. Because of that, he immediately directed his hand to protect his lower chin which was Pablo’s target.

Troy, who managed to block the boy’s fist, immediately rotated his arm and moved one leg. With that, he managed to grip Pablo’s inner elbow and kick his leg off.

In this battle, from a physical perspective, Troy was superior to Pablo. Troy had a tall body posture. His body was covered with muscles. Meanwhile, Pablo had a slightly shorter height than Troy. His body also tended to be smaller. However, what made them equal were the many fighting techniques that Pablo mastered and of course... his speed.

When Troy managed to slam Pablo to the ground, the boy could think quickly to position his body so as not to land on a fatal spot. Pablo only wore a bright orange tank top in this fight because he knew that Judo fighters would take advantage of their opponents’ collars.

As soon as he fell, Pablo immediately rolled his body to the side before Troy could catch him again. With a very agile movement, Pablo kicked his legs into the air so that his whole body jumped and landed on his feet.

He turned to Troy with a smile. “The warm-up was decent.” Then he skipped a little, ‘Now, let’s take this seriously.’ he continued in his heart.

Pablo again attacked Troy with his fast fists. His feet moved back and forth and were unpredictable. He moved quickly with small jumps to outwit his opponent. Please visit 𝒇𝒓𝗲e𝔀𝗲𝚋ｎoѵℯƖ. c𝑜m

Inwardly, Troy clucked in annoyance. This was the type of fighter he hated to fight. Troy himself realized that he didn’t excel at Cardio moves like that. Compared to Boxing, Kung Fu, and other fighters who relied on long-range attacks, Troy, as a melee fighter, had slower movements and got tired easily.

Pablo looked at Troy with a big grin on his face. He stepped back as Troy started to charge at him. Then he immediately ran to the other side, doing an acrobatic jump in a forward spin to direct his feet to kick Troy’s head from the top.

Troy, who noticed Pablo’s movement, immediately dodged to the side. But apparently, it was just a trap that Pablo made. In just one second after one of Pablo’s feet hit the ground, he jumped back while spinning his body with a kick that managed to hit Troy’s side of the face and ear.

The big man fell to the side. Pablo’s kick was so strong. He utilized his body weight, muscle strength, hard bones, and gravity to create the spinning kick.

In fact, Troy still had time to dodge, but his speed was far behind Pablo’s movement. Luckily, thanks to him still taking the time to dodge it, even if just a little, the effect that Troy received from Pablo’s kick wasn’t as bad as it should have been.

Troy’s ears buzzed. His vision shook. He was still lying on the basement floor while holding the side of his facial skull which was in great pain.

Troy learnt that Pablo had almost the same principles as the Black leader. He didn’t want to wait for his opponent to get up before attacking him again. Moreover, each of them was betting something very important in this battle.
