Razor didn't fall.
But he moved.
Slowly.
Step by step, the giant backed away, one massive hand pressed against his stomach. The impact from Funko's punch still lingered. His body shifted as he steadied himself, breathing heavier than before.
"…Tch…"
He looked down at Funko.
"…Who the hell are you?"
Funko cracked his knuckles.
"…I'm just a guy who's strong, I guess."
Razor's eyes narrowed.
"…A guy, huh…"
For a split second
Silence.
Then
Razor moved.
His massive right arm shot upward
And came crashing down.
BOOM.
The force shattered the ground where Funko stood.
But Funko was already gone.
He slipped to the side at the last second, the wind from the impact whipping past him.
"…Too slow "
Before he could finish
WHAM.
A massive kick slammed into his side.
Funko's eyes widened slightly as the hit connected.
"…Tch !"
His body flew across the room, smashing straight into a stone wall.
CRASH.
The wall cracked and caved in around him, dust exploding outward.
Silence.
Then
"…Damn."
Funko's voice came from within the rubble.
A second later
BOOM.
He burst out of the wall, launching himself forward again.
Straight at Razor.
"…Not bad."
He shot upward, aiming directly for Razor's face.
And then
Punch.
Punch.
Punch.
A rapid barrage of haymakers slammed into Razor's face, each hit echoing through the massive hall.
BOOM.
BOOM.
BOOM.
Razor's head shifted slightly with each impact, his long brown hair whipping around from the force.
But he didn't fall.
He raised his arm
Trying to swat Funko away
But Funko slipped past it, continuing the assault.
"…Come on!"
Another punch.
"…Is that all you've got?!"
Razor gritted his teeth.
"…Insolent !"
He swung again
This time faster.
Funko twisted mid air, barely avoiding it.
They clashed again.
And again.
The room shook with every exchange.
Guards scattered, abandoning the food carts as the fight tore through the throne room.
For the first time
Funko smiled wider.
"…Yeah…"
He landed lightly on the ground, sliding back a few steps.
"…This is more like it."
Razor stood tall, staring down at him.
His expression had changed.
No longer amused.
Now
Serious.
Funko rolled his shoulders slowly.
"…Alright…"
A small pause.
"…I think it's time."
He looked up at Razor.
His eyes sharpened.
"…I reveal my true power."
Silence filled the room.
To Be Continued!
