Chapter 7 - Power

All of them were quickly surrounded by Basm men with each of them taking turns to attack.

One the men launched towards Rodric as usual Rodric effortlessly dodge it moving to side and allowing him to fall and hit his head on a nearby table.

Before Rodric could take a breather another man launched towards Rodric this time swinging his sword mindlessly in the air with Rodric dodging each stroke with ease.

With another strike from the man Rodric dodge the stroke then this time Rodric took the decisive move of hitting the man's hand sending his sword flying into the distant which left the man defenseless. Looking at a scared defenseless man Rodric took the opportunity to gave him a decisive uppercut which sent the man flying straight into the air for second and then landing back hard on the floor.

A expression of amazement was spread across the people's faces as evident by the loud chatter which later turned into unified cheer.

"Defenseless and he still handing them their a*sses".

"Two down three more to beat up".

"Did you see how he send that man flying into the air with single punch".

"So this is the men that Bastard Basm keeps around with him, bark and no bite".

"Get them and make them suffer, whoever you are".

"Make them suffer all that old had been through".

"No mercy to these maniacs".

Rodric paid no focus to the people, his eyes were focus on incoming fights ahead of him, afterall he was quite a loner and hated the unwanted attentions of people.

Basm was tired and frustrated, he could not wait any longer seeing that Rodric was beating up his men he stood up from his chair and entered the battle pushing aside his weak henchmen.

"Useless all of you, you can't even take down an unarmed man such a pitiful sight, you men better be sliting your throats now cus when am done with him you guys are next".

Rodric knew Basm was leagues ahead of his henchmen so he raised up his guard and entered a fighting stance. Basm puts his hands together and recite a magic spell

"Ignacio".

A light-bright could be seen forming in between his hands. But all of a sudden the flame vanished which made everyone confused and even him too.

'What the living hell why is my magic not working, but it doesn't make sense'. Basm thought trying again and again to conjure the fire but his efforts were in vain, they kept vanishing before they even form.

People laughed at Basm pathetic efforts to conjure a fire.

"Sh*t the young lady was right with that weak excuse of a fire it wouldn't be enough to lit my firewood".

"Hey, Basm do you need a match to ignite your fire".

"Basm over here, I need to smoke but I forgot my match could you use fire to light up my cigarette".

"Rank D my a*s at this stage his not even a mage, he just a brute with magic tricks".

Basm looked at the irritating faces of the people which made him very mad but what made him angry the most was the smug face of Rodric.

'it just not possible he must have done something to me his disgusting face says it all'.

"What's the matter Basm can't use your magic well ain't that a shame I guess your big body will just have to do the trick". Rodric teased.

Eira just stood there and watched everything unfold, she felt completely useless at the moment. Being the cause of Rodric's fights and not only that she was saved by him, all those clashing thoughts made Eira's mind spin with headache.

"What's the matter Basm you're starting to look like your weak goons you were trashing around earlier". Rodric teased further.

Rodric sought to provoke Basm into a thoughtless brawl which makes it easier to finish him quicker.

Teased and ridiculed by people he once thought feared him made him reach his boiling point. His eyes rolled back making it look like white, his forehead sprouted with thick vains were all sign he was going berserk.

Basm unsheathe his sword and threw it away, cracking his knuckles like he was ready to fight.

"I don't need a sword to crack skull all I need are these hands, oh boy am seriously gonna enjoy this".

Basm charged towards Rodric with crazy speed hurling punches towards Rodric but as usual he effortlessly dodge it, It was just that it was slightly challenging then before. Basm threw his giant fist at Rodric, Rodric caught with his bear hand, the force of the punch was so great it hooked the whole tavern.

The people mocking Basm could say a single words, their tongue petrified inside their mouth as they watched the fierce battle between the two.

Eira was completely petrified, her body frozen, she could not movement as she was afraid she would crumble.

She had never seen such things before, being able to shake sounded like something out of a Dragon Ball manga.

Basm strained to free his hand from Rodric's mighty grip, but it was no use. He tried to hit Rodric face with his second hands but before he could even attempt to do that.

In a lightning-fast motion, Rodric wrenched his hand, the sickening crack of fracturing bone followed immediately by the tearing of skin as the broken pieces jutted out.

Basm screamed in pain as he watched his bone punctured skin with horror. But nothing was more horrific than what he saw next. Standing in front of him was Rodric menacing look, at first he thought he saw a demon, his red-cold eyes and immense aura made Rodric look like an horrific nightmare from one of Basm's dreams.

"I beg you, I promise I will never come back am so sorry". Basm plead while on the floor.

"Oh no, you are beyond forgiven at this point I just have to deal with you once and for all". Rodric said with a terrifying grin in his face.

Rodric's fists rained down like judgment, each blow cracking bone and spilling blood, until Basm lay broken and unrecognizable. The crowd watched in stunned silence—this wasn't rage. Rodric was simply delivering the six punches Basm had vowed to give Mr. Topun.

Witnessing Rodric immense power, Basm's henchmen fleed for their lives they did not want to end up like their leader.
