Chapter 45 - The Axe Devil

"How did you know I was going to teleport there?!" Kenji said, breathing heavily.

"You see, there's a thing called predicting moves" Jackson replied. 

"How could you predict which exact spot I was going to teleport to?!" Kenji asked.

"When you fight thousands of God-level creatures, you have to predict everything because if you don't, you'll die. You have to predict their attack and dodge it before they even think about attacking in order to survive. Once you go through that, predicting moves of a human is nothing" Jackson explained, licking the blood on his axe.

"I see" Kenji said, teleporting behind Jackson and launching a slash. However, surprisingly, Jackson blocked the slash with his axe without even turning around or looking behind.

"If you can predict my moves then I'll have to attack so fast that even if you predict them, you won't be able to dodge them" Kenji said.

As soon as Kenji finished his sentence, all of Jackson's fingers on his left hand got cut off with a slash without Kenji even moving. 

However, instead of Jackson getting terrified or angry, he simply gave out a wide grin of excitement, licking his lips. "Interesting, I haven't felt this much excitement since my arrival at this land."

"Took the words right out of my mouth" Kenji said, slightly smiling.

Jackson's axe and Kenji's sword clashed, a powerful shockwave occurring due to it, which shook the entire battlefield. 

Kenji teleported behind Jackson but Jackson had already teleported behind Kenji. He then tried to slash Kenji once again but this time Kenji suddenly spinned around extremely fast and landed a clean horizontal slash that cut open his stomach.

"Fucking hell" Jackson said while smiling. "You are even stronger than I expected."

Kenji smirked. "Took the words right out of my mouth once again, It seems like you can also predict what I am going to say."

"How did you know" Jackson said with a wide grin, picking a few rocks from the ground and throwing it towards Kenji. Kenji didn't know which rock he was going to switch himself with but he was prepared for whichever one.

Suddenly, Jackson switched with the left rock and Kenji instantly tried to slash him but that wasn't Jackson's plan as he instantly switched to the middle rock, which Kenji was ready for, launching yet another slash but just then Jackson switched to the right, then to the middle, then to the right again. He kept switching between rocks extremely fast.

It was almost as if he was everywhere at once. Eventually, the rocks finally reached Kenji and Jackson finally stopped switching and threw the axe right at Kenji, which he was able to dodge.

However, the axe was now behind Kenji, which was perfect for Jackson as he switched with the axe, making himself behind Kenji but just then he switched with the axe again and then again, he kept switching once again, this time with the axe. He kept appearing in front and behind Kenji, trying to confuse him.

But it didn't work as Kenji did a 360 degree spin in a extremely smooth and fast motion, slashing the axe in front of him. Luckily, the axe then switched with Jackson, causing Jackson to be slashed. "Your tricks won't work on me" Kenji said, slashing Jackson once again, this time horizontally. 

"Middle-aged man, I have had plenty of fun with you, I am thankful" Jackson said. "But you need to rest now."

As soon as Jackson said that, Kenji felt something inside his stomach. Something sharp and large, it was an unpleasant and painful feeling even for someone like Kenji.

And as soon as Kenji looked at Jackson, he slowly realized what was inside of him. He saw that Jackson was holding a kidney, most likely his. "The thing inside my stomach...is his axe?!" He thought.

"From your reaction, I am sure you have figured it out by now" Jackson said, dropping the kidney onto the ground. "I switched my axe and your kidney."

"You might be wondering how so I'll tell it to you. I can switch myself or anything with someone else or any object, including body parts" Jackson explained. "I don't blame you for dying like this, after all, no one can dodge or block an attack like this."

Suddenly, Kenji started to vomit intensely and his skin turned pale. "Shit, I'll die from internal bleeding at this point."

"Why is this happening? Why can't I beat him? I am the executioner, the second strongest member of the organization and yet...I am about to get killed by a random person. Am I dying because I have gotten old? No, that can't be it, I am in the best condition I have ever been" Kenji thought. "Is it...because I am weak?"

"I am going to predict what you are thinking currently." Jackson whispered in his ear as Kenji was on his knees. "I am about to get killed by this random person because I am weak. That is what is going through your mind, right?"

Kenji's eyes widened.

"It seems that I was right" Jackson said, who started to walk in the opposite direction and started to wave his hand. "Well, I hope you rest well."

But just then, Kenji whispered something to himself.

"Realm of shattering Catastrophe."
