Chapter 83: Must You Force Me?
“I have to try it today, too. The strength of our new colleague, if you take a liking to it, counts as my etiquette and respect for you. Come on, Occam.”
General No. 1 looked at Occam with a complex expression, then at General No. 3. He shook his head and sighed.
General No. 3 was very interested in Occam. His blind eyes shone with a light which had not been seen in a long time. This was the look he gave when he was interested in someone.
He could tell that in this short period of time, Occam was not a diligent person. He had to strike while the iron was hot. Seeing that Occam had not left, he wanted to join the direct challenge.
He would not have a chance next time.
In any case, he took the opportunity and began here.
“Hey, hey, can’t we not fight anymore?”
Occam declined. He really did not want to fight anymore. Fighting was tiring. He did not want to.
“Occam, don’t you want to know where my strength is?”
“No.” Occam shook his head immediately.
‘Why does he need to know your strength? What has your strength got to do with me?’
However, General No. 3 did not give anyone a chance to react.
Without giving him a chance to stop, his body turned into a beam of light.
He kicked at Occam.
Although he did not use his full strength in this attack, it looked very terrifying.
General No. 3’s eyes glowed as kicked at Occam when he was stationary.
The whole province turned into light and the ball of light gathered behind Occam.
Even his feet were the color of light. With a little yellow, he kicked at Occam’s back.
This scene happened quickly and steadily. This was the action of an experienced soldier. It was not ethereal or frivolous.
“Boom—Bam!!!”
There was no loud explosion, only a huge impact that made the fortress shake again.
Those who did not know what was going on really thought that it was an earthquake.
Everyone was shocked.
However, to everyone’s surprise, they looked at Occam strangely. Even with General No. 3’s speed, his attack was blocked.
“He can even block this?”
“Occam is indeed powerful. He’s a character, not a little guy. What is the limit of his strength?”
The explosive kick did not cause the expected explosion, but the impact was completely blocked.
“Occam, this kid is a little strange. This is too ridiculous. Who can fight like this? It’s not something we can resist, right?”
“If it were us back then, we would not have been his match. We can only fight like this now. Even General No. 3 did not kill him in one blow.”
The marine outside also saw the situation inside through the huge hole.
This incident caused an uproar.
“Who is that brat? He’s so powerful that even General No. 3 can’t kill him instantly.”
“I think it’s ridiculous too, but when I think about how he could fight with General No. 1 so fiercely and even suppress him, I feel that it’s expected.”
“Then why don’t you see what’s going on with them? Doesn’t he need a rest from the continuous fights?”
“That’s true.”
They came to a sudden realization when they heard this.
If Occam had fought with General No. 1 initially, they could understand. All they could say was that Occam was indeed a little stronger than General No. 1.
However, General No. 1 did not suffer much injuries. In other words, Occam was only slightly stronger than General No. 1.
But that was the problem.
He had just fought with General No. 1, and yet he could still fight with General No. 3 without any problems. What was going on?
Did he not need to rest? Did he not exhaust himself fighting General No. 1?
In other words, could Occam, as a newcomer, not be considered a newcomer, be able to fight the old man to this extent?
It was already very surprising.
Now, he could even fight with General No. 3 to prevent the other party from launching a sneak attack. Such strength was really terrifying.
It had to be known that the stronger an individual was, the faster his attacks would be. Sometimes, it would only take a few moves to kill the opponent.
If Occam and General No. 1 had fought from a far distance earlier on, it could only be considered a probing battle.
Now that Occam was fighting with General No. 3, it would not be a simple test of strength. It would be a real fight.
In other words, even though General No. 3 was serious about his moves, he could not win Occam.
Occam’s strength was so terrifying.
It was eerie too. Even with General No. 3’s fast speed, Occam managed to stop him. Many people widened their eyes in surprise.
Even General No. 3 himself looked surprised. He knew his own strength.
His foot was only an inch away from Occam when he was blocked by Occam. That was right, no more, no less. It was just an inch away.
If other outsiders saw it, it would look like as though Occam had a powerful body.
In reality, he blocked it an inch away.
His terrifying and immense power, as well as the power of light, had yet to cause any changes to Occam’s body. In fact, he had not even been able to move Occam’s body.
Was he still the same? Occam was still standing where he had been.
“Sigh.” Occam sighed. He felt helpless. He had already expressed that he did not want to fight, but the other party still wanted to fight. He had no choice. Did he really think that he was easy to bully because he had not fought?
“General No. 3, General No. 1, and everyone else here, I respect all of you very much. But are you going to welcome me like this?”
Occam was not disappointed in them. He understood what they were doing, but he was helpless and angry.
“I should return the favor. Since you kicked me, I should be able to retaliate, right?”
Occam smiled. He did not care about anything, nor did he care about his reputation. His was only concerned because his rest time was interrupted.
‘Please don’t take up my precious rest time.’
‘Can you compensate me for my break?’
‘Seriously.’
That was actually what Occam was angry about. He did not care about the so-called fight at all, or who was the winner. He was only concerned about his own time.
His rest time.
All he wanted to do now was to get over here quickly and then hurry back to slack.
“Why do you have to force me?”
Occam did not understand.
