Martial Arts Worlds
Chapter 494 - 494: Loyal Fang of Kiernan

"A devil god, you say?"

Karma said with a frown.

While it sounded ludicrous that he was calling himself the Devil God, he truly looked like one—the aura around him was oppressive and evil.

"Argh!"

Julian jumped to his feet, and gray smoke shot out from his back—it enveloped him like a coat—and his mouth twisted into a devilish grin.

"Flow State!"

"…"

Zachary looked silently at him and punched—the size of his fist was bigger than Julian's head—but the smoking young man dodged it with a casual sidestep.

"Metal Style, Blazing Bullet!"

Julian smashed his fist into Zachary's ribcage and pushed him back a step—only a single step—and he didn't even let out a single grunt of pain.

'Julian is now able to forcefully push himself into Flow State, but still, Zachary in his current state is too much for him!'

Karma thought with an ugly expression and joined the fight—he moved behind Zachary and plunged his spearhand into the back of Zachary's neck.

"Iron Style, Iron Lance!"

However, the muscles of his neck were too tough, and the spearhand did not penetrate as Karma had hoped.

"Tch!"

"Hahahaha!"

Zachary turned around and slapped Karma as if he were a fly—he crashed into a wall, denting the drywall, but he stayed on his feet.

"Metal Style, Metal Rock!"

Julian smashed his fist into Zachary—it exploded—and Zachary just laughed as the punch barely tickled him.

"It doesn't matter if you are in Flow State. You're nothing but a Martial Champion weakling, hahaha!"

Julian didn't react to his taunts and kept striking him tirelessly—Zachary defended and defended, but he couldn't keep up with the assault.

Smack! Smack! Smack!

Attacks kept landing, but they didn't really harm Zachary—the muscles of his were simply too strong.

"Metal Smash!"

Julian's punch pushed Zachary a step back, and he then followed with another Metal Smash, pushing him one more step back.

At that moment, Zachary put his finger against Julian's chest, smirked, and scratched his finger across his chest.

"Scratch Tactics."

Spurt!

Julian's chest gushed with crimson blood, but his eyes didn't show any panic—he was in Flow State, and any useless thought was gone from his mind.

He just jumped straight ahead and rained punches at Zachary—the punches were relentless, and even Zachary's smile slightly disappeared.

Smack! Smack! Smack!

Zachary blocked the punches with his hands, but he was getting overwhelmed by the sheer speed behind each blow.

"Iron Smash!"

At that moment, Karma's fist smashed into his back, and Zachary's face slightly wrinkled in pain.

"King Cobra Strike!"

The wobbling fist of Julian punched Zachary across his face—he stumbled to the side and stopped himself from falling to the ground by catching himself on a nearby table.

"Huff! Huff…"

Julian breathed heavily, and the amount of smoke was getting less—the sweat had gathered on his forehead and his back—he couldn't maintain Flow State much longer.

'This is bad. We can't beat Zachary quickly, as he is a tank of a fighter, so Julian's Flow State will end before the match is over.

'Once it is over, he will be useless for the rest of the fight and will be defenseless. If Zachary decides to go after him, I must try to protect him as well, which puts me in even greater danger.'

Karma thought to himself.

He realized that things were looking horrendous!

"Hehehe. It's funny to see you guys struggle so hard while I am barely trying."

Zachary said with a laugh, turned his head back to the two, and there wasn't any sign of damage on his face.

King Cobra Strike didn't do any damage.

Zachary cracked his knuckles, then took a step forward, and appeared in front of Julian instantly—it was a rapid quick step!

'How can he move so quickly with his big body?'

Karma's eyes widened in shock.

"Huff…"

Julian breathed heavily, the vision turned slightly dizzy, and he felt a wave of nausea wash over him.

"Strike Tactics!"

Zachary said with a smirk and swung his fist towards Julian—it was going to hit—it neared his face at an alarming speed.

"Julian, dodge!"

Karma screamed.

However, Julian's body felt very heavy.

After nationals, he had to take many months off martial arts training as he had to focus on getting better.

Thus, in those months, he became rusty and much weaker—he had finally started to get back to rhythm and get back his old edge.

However, he couldn't hold Flow State for as long as he used to before his break.

"Howl!"

At that moment, a sky-shaking howl reverberated throughout the house, bouncing off the walls, and made Julian's eyes widen.

"?!"

Zachary's body flinched, and a cold feeling of fear crept down his spine—it only lasted a second—and he resumed punching.

However, that second of stoppage gave Julian a chance to get back his grip on reality—he dodged the large fist and kicked Zachary in the head.

It was a very high kick, and Zachary's head snapped back—if it were an ordinary person, their head would've gotten kicked off their shoulders.

Julian moved towards Karma, standing by his side, and raised his arms close to his chest—he was feeling very weird.

He felt like he could actually win—the fear was gone—and Karma was feeling the same.

"What happened…?"

Karma thought out loud.

"…?"

Zachary straightened his posture, turned to the two with a frown, and asked.

"What the hell was that? What did you do?"

They all heard a howl—they didn't know where it came from—but when Zachary heard it, he felt fear.

When Karma and Julian heard it, all their fears and doubts about fighting Zachary dissipated into nothingness.

At that moment, a blur of dark blue jumped over from the stairs, his maw wide open, and latched onto Zachary's leg, biting his fangs into his flesh.

[Loyal Fang!]

"Aaargh!"

Zachary screamed in pain, looked at the dog-like creature that was biting him, and tried to shake him off by shaking his leg, but the creature didn't want to let go!

"A fucking guard dog?"

Zachary said in anger.

However, if it was just any guard dog, he doubted that they had enough power in their teeth to pierce his Martial Grandmaster skin.

Yet, this small creature was able to do it with ease!

"W-what's that?"

Karma and Julian asked from each other in a shock.
