Novel's Extra: I Awakened The Strongest Physique From The Start

Woosh—Clang!

The moment Alex gave the go for the fight to start, both Keryu and Ben rushed at each other, swords appearing in their hands as they clashed, sending a small shockwave into the surroundings.

Their faces were at most serious, grim even, as they didn't want to lose.

They were gritting their teeth, pushing each other with all their force. Their swords caused sparks to fly off, but none of them were able to push the other even a bit.

'Tie in strength—' Keryu noted with a frown, as he had somewhat expected it. No matter how strong the demons were supposed to be when compared to humans, the protagonist didn't sit in that category, but his words were cut short and his eyes went wide as the next second...

"YAAAAAAAAAAA!!!" With a shout, Ben's right wrist shone for a second, and suddenly, his strength increased, shocking Keryu, making him prepare for retreat, but before he could.

Baam

A punch landed straight into his gut, making his eyes almost bulge out of their socket.

'Speed as well?!' Exclaimed Keryu on the inside as he felt his guts trembling.

Woosh

"YAAAA!!" But as soon as he heard the yell from Ben, he hurriedly rolled back, only to see the guy's sword descending right where he was standing a second ago.

Baam!

The floor cracked as the strike landed, making Keryu grit his teeth as he knew that if that attack had hit him, he would be out cold by now.

'You gotta be shitting me...' Keryu muttered in disbelief as he saw Ben's right arm flashing again, and before he could even react, the guy was already in front of him, ready to cleave him.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

"I WON'T LOSE!!!!" Yelled Ben as he slashed his sword downward, with no intention of stopping, but the next second...

Clang!

"Hah... Seriously. You had to force me to use this, that too when he's right here..." Keryu's voice, deeper than before, made its way to Ben's ears, sending chills down his spine, and he hurriedly jumped away.

"There's no saving you now..." Keryu's voice, however, still as heavy and laidback as it sounded a second ago, went on, making Ben stare at the dust that was setting down, and as the dust settled, his eyes widened.

"D-Demon..." He muttered involuntarily, as that was the only thing that came to his mind when he saw the form Keryu had right now.

"Oh?"

Up in the colosseum, among the highest compartments, a surprised voice echoed as if interested in this new form of Keryu.

"He didn't say he had something this interesting up his sleeve." Muttered the voice, each word laced with an undefiable authority and a dangerous charm.

"Hmm... whatever this bloodline is, it is strong, so I guess you will be meeting him soon..." The room was completely dark, making it impossible to see anything, but as the voice reached this point, a corner of the compartment brightened with purple flames, revealing a girl who looked like a female counterpart of Keryu, tied up in a very inappropriate way.

Her eyes, however, were blank, and even after the voice spoke to her, she didn't seem to show any reaction.

"Well, since the little man your brother's facing is a student of 'that' person, there's still a chance that there might be another surprise, but let's see..."

With that, the voice faded away, making the room eery and chilly again, as if no life was present in that room.

Alex, on the other hand, raised a brow as he saw Keryu's looks.

'I guess he can say bye to the dashing entrance he wanted to make,' he chuckled inwardly, knowing full well that Keryu, in the original plot, wanted to make a dashing entrance into the academy, but with his demonic form—which looks disgusting, to be honest—revealed, there was no way it would be possible now.

His black hair, which was silky and smooth before, was nowhere to be seen as his head was now covered in gooey black scales. His handsome face now had a black, tar-like substance covering them, and his purple eyes, which were enchanting to look at, had turned polychoric, making one repulsed.

His whole body was covered in the same gooey black scales that covered his head, and from the looks of it, they were strong, since there was nothing but a scratch where Ben's attack had landed, and one must know that the last attack was Ben's full power attack.

"Why do you keep saying 'Yaaa!' every time you attack, huh?" Keryu, feeling the gazes on his, couldn't help but grit his teeth, glaring at Ben, who was the reason he had to turn into this form.

"You can always attack silently, you know." He growled, wanting to take some of his anger out on Ben, and the next second...

Woosh

With a woosh, he was standing right in front of Ben, with his hand raised up and sharp claws extended from his fingers.

"It takes your enemies by surprise!" He cackled as his claws descended at Ben, who had his eyes wide as Keryu's speed was a bit too fast for him to react.

"GRAHHHH!!!" But still, with his instincts playing a crucial role, he quickly sidestepped, avoiding the strike that could've torn his arm apart, only to have his skin peeled off.

"Did you think that was all?"

Ben, however, didn't get time to even think of something as he heard Keryu's voice again, whispered right into his ears, and his hair stood to its end, his senses warning him to move, but it was already too late.

Baam—Crack

"ARGHHHH!" With a strong punch on his back, Ben was sent crashing to the ground, falling facefirst, screaming in pain as he heard the bones in his back break.

"We're still not done yet!" But Keryu, as if he were a real devil, jumped on top of Ben, punching his broken back again and again, making Ben roar in pain.

This was a bit too much for him. He might go unconscious if it went on.

Ben's eyes moved to Alex, who somehow happened to be staring at him as if waiting for him to admit defeat, but before the guy could even do that.

Baam

A punch landed on his face, making his eyes go blank and his brain tremble. He was unconscious. That last punch was the last of what he could take, and Alex, seeing this, just sighed, raising his hand, ready to declare Keryu as the winner, but just then...

Huuuuuu

The sound of air from a deep breath was heard. It was nothing but a single breath, but every person in the Colosseum heard it, making their backs go cold.

'Dangerous!'

No matter who it was, just had this single thought flash in their heads, including Keryu, who, with his eyes expanded to the limit, quickly jumped away, and with his muscles tensed, he stared at Ben's body lying on the ground, seemingly unconscious, but he knew better than to believe it.

'FUCK!!! WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED TO ME?! Why did I suddenly start torturing him?!' He roared inwardly, panic and urgency filling his mind, which, due to the fear he felt, had somewhat cleared down.

[It was your fault for your using that bloodline, host.]

It was then that Keryu saw a message, just like Alex's system's, flash in front of his eyes, and he realized that it was the bloodline's fault.

'Fuck! Fuck! Fuck! I pushed him too far—'

With his wandering around, he clenched his fists, trying to think of a solution to this situation, but before he could even think of something, his senses screamed of danger, and he saw that Ben's body, which was lying in front of him, had disappeared...

Huuuuu

It was when he heard the sound of a deep breath right next to him that he realized where Ben had gone.
