With his hand on the wound on Issei's stomach, Micael used the Reverse Cursed Technique, he thought about using Ripple but as it would take time and he didn't even know if it would heal completely, he went with reverse cursed energy.
A white aura covered Micael's palm as the familiar sharp pain reached his eyes.
At a speed visible to the naked eye, the wound closed, ending with smooth skin and no visible damage through the tear in the shirt.
Looking out of the corner of his eye, Micael saw Raynare disoriented leaning against the tree, she had one hand on her head and was making a face.
With him believing that he had a few more seconds for her to regain focus, Micael took advantage of the moment and used another skill on Issei.
In his vision, a whitish human form overlapped Issei's prone figure, it was a completely different sight compared to seeing internal energy or aura.
As the sharp pain in his eyes increased, a new sensation filled Micael's senses at the sight.
The sensation was strange, he felt as if he was touching something gaseous and liquid at the same time, not only that, the very realization that he could shape it was also there, instinctively he knew that he could do it effortlessly.
But putting those sensations aside, with the pain in his eyes starting to become uncomfortable, he changed the focus of his vision to Issei's left hand, and as he expected there was an orb of green light on the back of the hand.
In his perception, that orb gave a completely different sensation from the rest of Issei's soul, it was heavier, almost physical and he felt that it would be impossible for him to shape it.
But that wasn't his goal, his goal was to confirm if he could remove that orb from Issei if he wanted, and he confirmed that he could.
Deactivating his eyes and moving his hand away from Issei, Micael confirmed that he could take Draig away from Issei using Idle Tranfiguration, without killing him.
He didn't intend to take Draig away from Issei and it wasn't because he had no interest in him, the reason was what had been mentioned before, his speculation that Issei had some plot armor.
And it wasn't because the supposed goddess would retaliate if he stole Draig, it was more because she believed that Issei had an important role in this world, literally as a kind of son of prophecy.
Of course, all of this in the end was just Micael's speculation, but considering the negligible possibility of it being real, he decided not to steal Draig.
Furthermore, since he already intended to use Issei, he felt bad for him, so he also didn't feel very comfortable stealing the Draig, let Issei have at least that much.
And another thing is that Micael also believed in the potential of his power, his eyes proved to have immense potential, possibly greater than any Longnus.
But it is also clear that if a crisis happens in the future and for that he needs Draig, he will not hesitate a second before stealing him from Issei.
Not just Draig, if something really dangerous happened that put his family or his girlfriend in danger, putting them at great risk, he would go on a trip around the world stealing all the Longnus and everything that was useful to him.
He would show that he is a pure-blood Brazilian and would rob everyone.
Anyway, after confirming what he had in mind, Micael deactivated his power and stood up from the crouched pose, turning to Raynare.
With his hands in his pockets, he saw that the woman had already gotten up and was still holding her head.
And with a big frown on her face, Raynare asked, her voice sounding a cold, cutting tone.
"Who the hell are you?"
With a faint smile appearing on his face, Micael replied carelessly.
"I'm just an insolent passerby."
Micael's response only made Raynare narrow her gaze, pursing her lips almost in a growl, she asked again in an even colder and more threatening tone.
"Don't test my patience, human, who are you? Who sent you? The devils?"
But with the same nonchalance as before, Micael asked back.
"Who?"
And Raynare asked more angrily.
"Who what?!"
"Who asked you?"
The slight smile on Micael's face conveyed all the fun he felt at that moment.
And in return, a murderous aura seemed to form around Raynare, her desire to kill was so intense that it could be felt by the change in the atmosphere, as if everything suddenly went silent.
Taking one hand out of his pocket, Micael shook it slightly as he spoke."Hey, there's no need to stress, if you want to know so much I'll tell you, my name is Ligma."
With her frown looking a little confused, Raynare repeated the word, not believing it was a name.
"Ligma?"
With a big smile exposing all his teeth, Micael responded happily.
"Ligmaballs."
Raynare blinked through her frown, she may not be familiar with internet memes, but she knew enough of the language to understand the pun.
And with her understanding of the meaning of those english words coming to her mind, her killing intent immediately increased.
With the murderous gaze and the killing intent that even scared the birds in the trees focused entirely on him, Micael just laughed casually.
"Hahaha."
With her desire to strangle the human boy almost taking over her mind, Raynare forced herself to calm down, breathing slowly, she just kept her brow furrowed as she gave him a cold look.
Despite her anger, she didn't forget how this boy hit her when he appeared out of nowhere.
With her hand weakly touching her slightly sore breast, she thought the attack hadn't hurt her, but had been strong enough to cause pain, with the resulting impact and surprise leaving her somewhat disoriented.
But despite knowing this, she didn't think the boy was a threat, she refused to believe that this boy was dangerous, she hadn't felt any Sacred Gear on him other than the fact that the magic in his body was little.
So, faced with the human boy's disrespectful behavior, she decided that she would have fun torturing him before killing him.
"Hmph, whatever, unlike your dead friend, I'll have fun torturing you before I kill you." — A spear of light appeared in Raynare's hand as she spoke and without hesitation she fired the spear towards Micael, aiming for his shoulder.
With the spear of light approaching him at a high speed, impossible for a human to react, Micael slightly tilted his body with the spear passing harmlessly close to his body.
Shinng—!
A faint sound of the spear cutting through the air near him as the resulting wind weakly shook his shirt.
As soon as Raynare raised her hand, Micael activated his power and brought the Emperor's Eye to the surface, the distinctive brown ring of light around the slit-shaped pupils appearing in his eyes.
Still acting carefree, MIcael maintained his easy smile as he looked at her without saying anything.
Frowning at how easily he dodged, Raynare summoned another spear, but this time she wouldn't throw it anyway.
Stretching out her arm in preparation, she took a moment before firing the spear with all her might, the object of light splitting the air making an explosive sound as it traveled towards Micael.
Shuum—!
Still in a relaxed pose with his hands in his pockets and smiling, having already removed the filp-flops from his feet, Micael only slightly flexed his legs before she fired the spear.
Using the sonic boom as a signal, Micael's figure disappeared in a blur as he himself caused a sonic boom, as if he were a bullet.
Crack—!
With a sharp crack and a fainter sound of ground breaking, Micael reappeared a short distance away from where he was standing.
Looking back, he saw some trees pierced by the spear of light, turning his gaze to Raynare, he deactivated his power while reflecting.
'The cockroach's technique is very similar to Soru's, but the recoil is much greater.'
The Cockroach Technique, the infamous instantaneous acceleration technique that Baki created, bore a great resemblance to Soru, but it was not the same thing.
Both were instant acceleration techniques, but for some reason the cockroach technique was more exhausting, considering how his eye increased in pain and burning after the first use.
'Maybe because the cockroach technique keeps increasing speed? Going faster and faster and increasing recoil?'
Micael thought about the most likely cause, he wasn't sure if it was that or another reason, but he thought it was close enough.
From friday until now, he tried to remember some other martial arts techniques and succeeded, the cockroach technique being one of them, and this fight against Raynare would serve him to put some of them into practice.
With Raynare frowning and looking suspicious at him, Micael snapped out of his reflection and smiled slightly.
Raising his hands and cracking the bones in his hands, Micael spoke. — "Well, let's begin our fun."
Raynare felt her irritation and distrust increase with the boy's actions and words, she was already suspicious due to the way he dodged the attack, the speed at which he moved was fast to the point that she almost couldn't keep up.
Squinting her eyes, she spoke in a cold voice filled with indignation. — "What the hell are you talking about you brat-"
But she stopped at the end of the sentence, because the transformation she was witnessing was bizarre.
She watched in stunned silence as the human boy's skin changed color, turning from light brown to a sickly purple.
Furthermore, the veins in his skin also began to stand out, becoming pronounced as if small, thin snakes were moving under his skin.
And to complete the bizarre transformation, with him still wearing that slight smile and his hands together in the cracking pose, the boy's sclera changed color, going from white to black.
When the changes stopped, Raynare's face tightened into a grimace as she felt repulsed by the sight, speaking in a tone that showed it. — "What the hell is wrong with you, why did you turn into such an ugly thing? Were you cursed or something?"
Ignoring Raynare's comment exuding disgust, Micael calmly looked at his now purple arms full of prominent veins, commenting weakly in amusement. — "Yes, I definitely must not be the most pleasant sight right now."
And even without seeing it, he imagined that his eyes now had black sclera.
Starting to rotate his arm slowly with his hand on his shoulder, Micael analyzed his current strength and was able to speculate that the Removal increased his strength by one hundred percent.
Feeling his senses heightened, his body lighter, and his perception sharper, he was sure it was a hundred percent increase, but still weaker than Demon Back.
Demon Back seemed to double his physical capabilities, in turn being better than Removal, but Removal was much more manageable, the pain was much weaker, it was like using Demon Back at fifty percent.
In any case, Micael believed that the Removal would be more than enough.
With Raynare still looking at him in disgust and frowning, Micael leaned forward slightly.
And Raynare, who was watching the boy who seemed to be stretching, saw him lean forward as if he were going to run, alarming her.
With the wings behind her back twitching, Raynare raised her hand in preparation as she asked cautiously. — "What are you-"
But she was interrupted and this time by Micael's action.
Using the Cockroach Technique again, Micael charged towards her, his body a blur.
Raynare only had time to widen her eyes slightly as she saw the boy become a blur in her vision before an impact on her stomach disoriented her.
Thud—!
With the sound of the impact reverberating slightly, Micael appeared next to Raynare with his fist on her stomach, his movement didn't stop as he took advantage of the force of the impact and pushed her against the tree.
"Haaugh!"
Raynare gasped as the air was forced from her throat, a dull pain beginning at the site of impact.
With his arm completely stretched out in a punching pose, Micael focused on the sensation coming from his fist and thought.
'I think she's stronger than those guys without Touki.'
He reflected with his arm being with Tekkai during the attack, he wasn't almost sure that physically speaking she was stronger than those two without Touki, at least by a small margin.
'And she doesn't seem to have combat instincts either.'
He thought this because his fist hit her belly while she was completely flaccid, she didn't tighten her belly when he attacked her, something even an untrained human would do instinctively.
"You...damn human!"
As he thought, he saw her expression change from shock to a murderous scowl as she tried to grab his hand.
But calmly and casually, Micael retracted the hand she had been grasping for so long and attacked her with the other, his fist now slamming into her face.
Thud—!
With another thud sounding, Micael's fist pressed against Raynare's cheek, crushing her head against the tree.
Raynare at that moment simply didn't know how to react, she was being completely humiliated and unable to stop the human boy from hitting her.
Even though she wasn't badly hurt, the physical pain and psychological damage was slowly causing her to mentally break down, her mind unable to process the situation.
'Me being beaten...by a human!?'
At that moment, she not only felt humiliated but also disgusted, her ego and pride were thrown to the ground by a human and she found herself unable to react to it.
With anger filling her mind more and more, she looked away at the boy with clenched teeth about to summon several spears of light at him, but she wasn't quick enough again.
With his eyes glued to her, the moment she gave him that murderous look and weakly raised her hands, Micael moved again, but this time it wasn't a punch.
Raynare watched in disbelief as the boy's hands approached her head in an instant, and she barely had time to process as she felt weightless as everything around her seemed to go blurry as her body traveled through the air.
Watching the body spinning in the air, Micael, who had thrown her after grabbing her head, took a step forward before her body disappeared in a blur.
In the midst of involuntarily flying through the air, Raynare took a moment to reorient herself, her wings stretching out as she came to a stop floating in the air.
But she didn't have time to completely reorient herself when Micael appeared in front of her again in a blur, hitting her in the face again with another punch.
Thud—!
With another thud, Raynare felt the familiar sensation of his knuckles hitting her face, saliva flying from her mouth and causing a sharp pain before her body went flying.
But unlike before, Micael didn't let she collide with anything to stop her and continued the attack.
Raynare, in the middle of the disorienting flight, only had time to see Micael appearing again in her field of vision in a blur before she felt yet another impact against her body.
Thud—!
Punch to the stomach, Raynare gasped as the fist crushed her soft belly with no resistance, her mouth falling open as she was thrown again.
This time, reappearing next to her, Micael kicked her, his instep hitting her side and sending her flying again.
Micael watched with a calm gaze as her expression changed with loss of breath and pain, her limbs thrown haphazardly as she was thrown.
Without blinking at his own brutality against a woman, Micael followed up the attack by disappearing and hitting her again.
Thud—!
Another thump sounded before he sent her flying in another direction.
Thud—!
And one more came when he hit her again.
Thud—!
After yet another attack, what followed was a completely one-sided beating, with Raynare doing nothing but receiving the attacks.
Thud—!
Thud—!
Thud—!
Thud—!
Thud—!
After the tenth attack, Micael stopped attacking, letting Raynare's body be thrown to the ground.
After colliding hard against the ground, the beaten woman weakly supported herself with trembling arms and coughed several times while taking deep breaths.
Frowning, Micael looked silently at Raynare covered in growing bruises on the floor, he had understood what her problem was.
It wasn't just that she lacked combat instinct, she also lacked spirit and mentality, her mind seemed to be exclusively focused on things other than fighting.
The blows he delivered were extremely predictable, if she had been mentally prepared for that she could have calmed down and tried to dodge or block his attacks, but she didn't.
It seemed like she just gave up, even when he lessened the strength of his attacks in the end she still didn't react in any way and simply accepted them.
Raynare was not a fighter by any means.
Feeling more like he was bullying a child, Micael's initial enthusiasm for the fight had completely faded, his momentum ending in a lack of emotion.
'This can't even be considered a fight.'
