Revenge pact

"Begin!"

The imposing figure known as Tarzy Goliath, bore a fierce grin as he propelled himself forward with eagerness.

His initial assault took the form of a swift cross executed with his right arm. The attack's motion was so keen that it sliced through the air, carrying a palpable intensity, aiming unerringly for Luna's alluring face.

"Wow dog, not bad!" A soft chuckle escaped Luna's lips before she inclined her neck to the side, skillfully evading the strike from Tarzy.

Seizing the opportune moment, Luna's left fist surged forward with determination, homing in on Tarzy's exposed shoulder.

When the girl's sturdy fist connected with Tarzy's shoulder, in which she was met with great resistance.

It felt as though she had punched into a reinforced stone wall.

While Tarzy exhibited a relatively unperturbed demeanor in the face of the girl's forceful blow, Luna stood in stark contrast to Wendy, her predecessor, who would have succumbed to panic in a similar situation.

"Not bad, Knightly Dog."

"Don't call me that!" The princess's dog growled before he proceeded to use his left arm to hurl a left hook toward the girl's head.

"No need to cry." Luna chuckled before she gracefully hunched her form and executed a measured step backward, avoiding the giant's attack.

Fueled by his forever escalating rage, Tarzy surged forward in pursuit of the girl.

Closing the distance once more, he capitalized on the advantage of his longer limbs and unleased an uppercut aimed squarely at Luna's chin; displaying an unyielding resolve to make her eat her words.

In the face of the impending assault, Luna's cocky demeanor remained unshaken.

Quite the opposite, her grin expanded further, radiating a daring enthusiasm.

It seemed she was having fun.

Without a hint of trepidation, she gracefully retreated another step, her irreverent defiance evident as she playfully stuck her tongue out.

"I'll wipe that ugly smile right off your face!"

"Ugly? That's not a nice thing to say to a lady... Didn't Marie teach you any better?"

Tarzy's offensive onslaught showed no signs of slowing down; he continued his assault with unyielding determination.

Employing his right arm this time, he executed yet another hook aimed at the young lady, this strike directed towards the left side of her abdomen.

"Close... but not really!" Amidst the intensity of the encounter, a lighthearted giggle escaped the girl's lips.

Demonstrating her remarkable agility, Luna smoothly contorted her body, arching her hips in a graceful arc that brought her head and hips into a parallel alignment.

Interpreting her unconventional posture as an opportune opening to end the fight, a triumphant grin stretched across Tarzy's face.

With a calculated clenching of his left hand, he plunged it downward with incomparable force, aiming for Luna's stomach.

"Don't be too eager, we're not done yet!"

With agility and precision, Luna swiftly adapted to the impending threat.

Reacting deftly, she planted her hands firmly on the mat and smoothly transitioned into a seamless backward handspring.

Her lithe form coiled and released, propelling her legs in a magnificent arc aimed at Tarzy's lower head, an impressive maneuver designed to counter his attack

The bridge of Luna's left foot made direct contact with the giant's chin, inducing a forceful closure of his mouth and prompting his teeth to inadvertently bite into his lower lip drawing blood.

"Is Luna really number two, from the looks of it this match is practically in the bag for her!" Adonis' opponent observed.

"No...That's far from the truth. " Adonis corrected as he continued to watch the two fight.

"How so?" He asked curiously.

"Tarzy possesses a level of strength that stands out even among those in his Tier. Should he succeed in landing a single blow on Luna, this match is over."

{Surprised you reached that conclusion on your own, Oizys.}

"Hehe." Adonis giggled.

The impact of Luna's strike caused Tarzy to momentarily falter, his balance wavering as he took a step back. Using his fingers he wiped the blood from his lip before his gaze returned to lock onto Luna once more.

Like a charging bull driven by fury, Tarzy surged forward with resolve, intent on bringing the fight to a conclusion. His immense form dashed forward, arms outstretched, as he aimed to ensnare Luna's neck within his grasp.

"Huh?"

In the blink of an eye, Luna found herself ensnared within his grasp, her astonishment evident through the widening of her hazel eyes, her body suspended in the air.

With determined purpose, Tarzy further elevated both his arms and the girl into the air, his intent unmistakable as he readied himself to forcefully bring her down to the ground in a decisive slam.

"It's over..."

Drawing inspiration from Amber's fight, Luna swiftly adapted to the dire situation.

She planted both her feet onto Tarzy's shoulders and exerted a powerful push, breaking free from the giant's grip with a forceful motion that ejected her backward through the air.

Recognizing this unexpected twist as a chance to inflict substantial damage, Tarzy pursued Luna with the predatory determination of a hungry wolf.

In a span of mere seconds, he closed the gap, his towering form looming over the girl as she continued her backward trajectory. With swiftness that betrayed his size, he extended his left hand, intent on seizing Luna's face once more in a bid to execute another forceful slam.

Exhibiting impressive composure, Luna remained collected and sprang into action the instant she spotted Tarzy's hand nearing her face.

Swiftly and decisively, she utilized her right leg to exert force against Tarzy's forearm, successfully diverting his hand completely off course.

Upon eliminating the imminent danger of Tarzy's hand, Luna was faced with another problem; her distance from the mat.

With less than a meter separating her from the ground, and her descent swift, she needed to devise an immediate solution.

Despite the potentially match-ending predicament she faced, Luna's smile only widened. Drawing inspiration from another fellow Rising Star, she performed a jaw-dropping display of agility.

She positioned her hands behind her neck and firmly planted them on the mat, using this leverage to propel herself backward once more.

"Thanks, Lutz!" She giggled.

In a notable contrast to her previous situation, Luna executed a perfect landing this time, her feet landing mere inches away from the bout's boundary.

Taking the initiative this time, Luna dashed forward with remarkable speed. She surged towards her opponent, launching herself into the air with her right leg fully extended. The trajectory of her flying kick was meticulously aimed at Tarzy's temple.

Responding to Luna's assault, Tarzy's reflexes kicked into action. He raised his substantial forearms as a makeshift shield, positioning them protectively in front of his face to intercept the incoming attack.

The impact of Luna's foot meeting Tarzy's arms resonated with a resounding thud, a collision that resulted in a slight recoil for the young man, causing him to be momentarily pushed back.

Aware of her vulnerable position and determined to maintain control, Luna took the proactive approach by reinitiating the engagement.

Capitalizing on her mid-air state, she executed a follow-up move. This time, utilizing her left leg, she unleashed another kick toward Tarzy's arms.

While the attack itself didn't cause any significant damage to Tarzy, she accomplished her objective; she utilized the force to push off once more launching herself several meters into the air.

"Hehe!"

A mischievous smile displayed itself on Luna's face as she flexed her knuckles in anticipation. Her ascent continued a steady progression toward the training hall's ceiling, each moment carrying her closer to the target.

As she neared the pinnacle of her climb, a swift twist of her body saw her turning to face the ceiling.

With a few more seconds of effort, Luna's ascent culminated, her proximity to the ceiling reducing to mere inches.

With practiced ease, she planted both her feet firmly on the ceiling's surface, allowing her to gaze down at her opponent from an elevated vantage point.

"Hear I come, hound!"

"Shut up." Tarzy scoffed as he prepared to receive the girl's attack.

The building quivered slightly as Luna exerted force against the training hall's ceiling, propelling herself downwards with remarkable velocity.

The hound's gaze widened, transfixed by the girl's accelerated descent. His concentration heightened, refraining from even a single blink.

Within a mere span of two seconds, Luna found herself mere feet above her opponent, her leg elevated in preparation for a formidable drop kick aimed at his head.

Unexpectedly, Tarzy didn't opt to raise his arms defensively or try to evade. Instead, he pivoted, thrusting his fist toward Luna's incoming leg.

SLAM

Upon collision, Tarzy experienced a minor displacement, pushed back by the impact. Luna, on the other hand, felt the vibrations of pain resonating through the bones of her leg.

In the aftermath of the intense impact, Luna was swiftly deposited onto the mat, coming to a halt just inches away from Tarzy. With a deft sense of balance, she landed on all fours, poised and alert for whatever might unfold next in this dynamic encounter.

Fueled by a potent mix of aggression and impatience, Tarzy's intent was clear as he swung his leg towards his opponent's back.

Luna, on the other hand, sidestepped his onslaught fairly easily. Her movements exuded an air of calculated finesse, allowing her to effortlessly evade his potentially match-ending kick.

With a seamless display of deftness, Luna performed a maneuver that propelled her around Tarzy, leaving him off balance and thwarting his attack.

This sudden shift in momentum acted as a catalyst for her next move.

Exhibiting her superhuman physical prowess, Luna seized the opportunity and wrapped her arms around Tarzy's formidable frame.

Summoning the strength of her back, legs, and arms, Luna hoisted the sizable Tarzy off the ground.

"What're you doing?!"

"HAAAA!!!"

In a textbook execution of the German suplex, she brought him hurtling towards the unforgiving mat.

The impact reverberated with a resounding thud, signifying Luna's triumph over the number one Rising Star.
