Chapter 6
The faceless beast roared as it pounced in the air toward Genma. Genma with his blindfold quickly sidestepped.
"WHAT THE, WHAT IS THAT…ZENITH, WHERE ARE YOU?"
The beast collided with the ground — BOOM!!
The dust rose and covered the area and so did the hungry beast. It growled as it rotated behind the dust — GIGGIDI!!,GIGGIDI!! — It's footsteps thundering through the area
But Genma already saw it through the dust. He became serious and didn't flinch. He turned himself in circular motion to track the beast.
"ZENITH, WHERE ARE YOU I NEED YOUR HELP!"
"AM HERE…" Zenith was on top of a tree but Genma didn't turn to look as the beast was a danger to him.
"THIS HOW YOU TRAIN YOUR SOUL ENERGY,PNEUMA, AND IT'S THE BEST WAY!!"
"C'MON ZENITH, THIS THING CAN DEVOUR ME, I SEE SOME DARK ENERGY IN IT. OH SHIT, WHERE IS IT!!"
"IF YOU DON'T CAP. YOUR ASS TO KILL THESE BEASTS, THEY WILL ENJOY FEEDING ON YOUR BUFFET BODY."
"Genma lost sight and track of the beast because it seemed it stopped, the wind dust became thick. He had to be ready to deflect or dodge the attack.
His hands weren't trembling, they were chill, and his body never wavered, only calculated.
"This thing can come anywhere and at any time, my movements have to be swift once I find the beast in sight."
Genma pocketed his hands. Out from nowhere, two beasts thundered to him at different positions, their long eight claws shining at both limbs.
Genma dropped to a squat.
The beasts crashed their heads and wailed painfully.
Genma quickly stood back and tip-toed behind them to widen the distance.
"These guys. There was only one, then two. No, many of them, and Zenith wants me to use pneuma. Uhh!"
Genma ducked. A beast exploded toward his head but he had dodged.
The beast landed on the ground and reversed then quickly bounced back at Genma.
Genma dodged — LEFT!!
The beast turned again, only to see Genma in the air firing his leg toward it's face.
"Soul Energy, Pneuma, it's time to work, I have sensed all my body parts from internal to external, now it's time to use it."
A white flame essence, pneuma, covered his right leg.
Genma lashed a kick to its face — BAAM!! — The beast to the large rock at the left.
The story has been illicitly taken; should you find it on Amazon, report the infringement.
Zenith watched and smiled.
"That's the spirit, the best way to use pneuma is by being confident and alert to the need to use it. Good job Genma."
"GOOD!! YOU DIDN'T DIE. YOU USED PNEUMA, NOW TRY TO MAINTAIN IT!!"
Genma turned to watch him on a tree sitting down relaxing on one of the branches.
Genma lunged his upper body downward straight as one of the beasts that crashed woke up and gagged its mouth at him.
Genma saw below the beast's lower body. And was preparing the blow.
"Its lower limbs are shorter,its belly is wide open. I can strike it.
Pneuma covered his fist, and this time, it glowed like a blue flame.
Genma launched his fist into the beast's belly — PUUUM!! — The beast fell with pain and cried a wail on the ground.
The other beast that crashed the other beast seemed to be moving its claws and limbs slowly.
"Uh. It's not over, another one. Behind me."
With pneuma Genma turned behind with a spinning kick to the beast's face. The beast fell off balance.
Genma didn't wait, he charged at it.
He fired two punches to the beast's belly before it could fall on the ground — PAAW!! PUUM!!. — The beast spat saliva.
Genma twisted to the left to deliver another punch. The blue pneuma glowed gloriously.
"I have to make sure I keep his only two shorter limbs on the ground because it relies on all four to attack, two would make it hopeless."
BAAAM!! — Genma's thundering punch sent the beast flying with blood, and painting a burnt picture onto the beast's face.
Genma stood there watching the beast and the other ones that were recovering.
I can't keep on punching and kicking, their skins are too thick and bones are too hard. It's only their heads and belly are a little. I have to use pneuma, the blue flame, I have to use it."
Zenith's smile didn't fade.
Genma is fighting with Absolute Confidence. He deserves help.
"HEY GENMA. NICE JOB USING PNEUMA. NOW IF YOU KEEP ON PUNCHING AND KICKING, YOU WILL BREAK YOUR OWN BONES!!! DUMBASS!"
Genma turned to Zenith and opened his mouth a little.
"Now summon pneuma in your hand, then your body heat will increase, turning your pneuma into flames. You can also bring lightning from it, when you cause friction."
"IF I WERE YOU, I WILL SUM THINGS UP! THREE MORE ARE JOINING THE PARTY!!!."
Three!?
Genma turned and saw three more coming slowly, not rushing. They growled, their bones clicking and heading towards Genma.
Genma clapped his hands loudly and opened his legs. The sound rang through the wasteland.
From it came pneuma, then blue flames.
He rubbed his hands to cause friction. Electricity started dancing in his hands — ZIZZI-ZIZZI!!. The crackling of electricity sung through the brown trees and sand wasteland.
The beast still advanced slowly for their prey.
Zenith sensei said friction of pneuma can cause lightning. It's destructive enough to kill these bastards.
Then from the rubbing, lightning flashed and struck through the middle beast's head — FLASH–ZAPP!!! leaving a hot burnt flesh hole.
Genma opened his eyes in an awkward pose because he knew he didn't intentionally.
Zenith smiled wide, showing off his brightening teeth.
Then other beasts watched their fellow get its brain fry. Vapor came out from the brain. The scent of hot burnt steak filled the air. They then turned to watch Genma and they shivered. Their teeth grinning in fear.
Genma smiled. He lifted up his right arm and spawned lightning again as it roared in the hearts of the beasts. He said to them,
" What now, are you scared of lightning? Come at me."
One of the beasts charged at Genma with full insane speed, his footsteps forming dust winds and exploding.
It pounced. Genma swerved — RIGHT!!
The beast turned its face to watch Genma swerving mid air. Genma smiled back at it, showing his white shining teeth, the lightning dancing.
THRRR-ZAPPP!!! — The lightning roared through the beast's waist before it could collide with the ground dead.
Genma then turned fully and smiled.
The sight was a horror to the faceless beasts. They started fleeing with speed.
Zenith stood on the tree branch with a wide smile and head down and threatened Genma.
"HEY GENMA…!"
Genma sidestepped backward to the left to look at Zenith.
"Mmmm?"
"IF YOU LET ANY OF THOSE UGLY BITCHES RUN AWAY, FLEE…"
Zenith looked at his face.
"I'LL SHAVE ALL YOUR SILKY HAIR WITH BOUNDLESS."
"UH!! OK SENSEI!".
Genma turned toward the beasts and ran with the lightning on.
He blitzed them with a flash — ZIZZI-ZIZZI!!
He reached the one trailing behind.
FLASH-THRR-ZAPP!! — The lightning sung through its back leaving a large hole. The beast collapsed.
The other turned to watch while running.
Genma smiled and struck its brain — THRRR-ZAPPP!!
"TWO MORE TO GO"
As Genma was about to strike the other one ahead, the beast turned and pounced with a roar and its mouth opened to gorge Genma in his belly .
Genma slid down smiling at the beast. The beast looked down and glanced back.
THRRR-ZAPPP!!— Lightning ate through the belly of the beast out wide and round.
The beast kissed the ground. Genma stood up quickly and continued running at the last beast.
"HEY, WHY ARE YOU RUNNING, I THOUGHT WE WERE HAVING FUN!?"
The beast looked back at Genma but he was not there. Genma leaped in the air.
It turned to watch him suspended in the air and coming with lightning toward him.
Genma gave off a proud smirk.
"HEHEHE!!"
