[Floor 27 | Floor of Archipelago]
After Urek said his last word, the atmosphere became very cold. Kira felt his body stiffen only because of the pure killing intent that Urek directed at him.
'Looks like he's really going to kill me, this is bad ... this place is really going to be destroyed. '
After thinking for a while, Kira then looked at Urek with a stoic expression.
"Mr. Urek, I'm afraid this place will be destroyed because of our fight, so can we at least fight in the sky?"
Said Kira, pointing up at the sky. Hearing Kira's proposal, Urek then looked around before nodding.
"Well, well, if that's what you want ... but in my opinion it won't be very effective because even from up there, my punch can still easily destroy these islands."
"That's no problem." Kira shook his head, he understood the meaning of Urek's words, but by fighting in the sky at least he would be able to minimize the occurrence of that.
"Then let's go."
Kira nodded at Urek's words, he had flown up first while Kira was stopped by Mai's voice.
"Don't go, Mr. Kira! You will really die if you leave, if you surrender to him, then I'm sure he will forgive you," said Mai, even though she had a flat expression, but feelings of worry emanated from her eyes.
Hearing that, Kira looked up.
"Forgive huh ... I'm not sure that person will do it, after all I have injured his hand in such a way."
Mai was silent when hearing Kira's words, Kira then glanced at Mai and smiled faintly.
"Don't worry, I'm not that weak."
After saying that, Kira immediately flew upwards leaving Mai who tried to stop him. As he flew up, the smile on Kira's face had disappeared, he then thought.
'Not weak? Bullshit... '
*
Then, Urek and Kira were seen floating above the imitation sky while staring at each other. Looking at Kira who looked badly injured on both hands, Urek said.
"Before we start fighting again, you better heal your two hands ... I want you to fight in your primaries."
Hearing that, Kira only said with a deadpan expression.
"Even though you say that, do you think I have a way to heal it? ... You don't need to worry, I have been trained on the principle that even if I am seriously injured, I will continue to fight like when I was in prime condition."
Hearing that, Urek smiled broadly and said to Kira.
"Hahaha, that's an amazing spirit ... in that case, don't disappoint me, Kira !!!"
The aura that came out of Urek's body seemed to be even bigger and frightening, at this moment he was truly in a condition of 20% of his full strength. It's been a long time since he used more than 5% of his strength, especially after he became a Ranker.
While Kira who saw it let out a long breath before he opened his eyes and calmed his mind.
Then, the fluctuations in his aura changed and made Urek raised his eyebrows in confusion. Kira's aura slowly disappeared and re-entered his body.
'Hmm? What happened? '
However, suddenly a tremendous, compressed golden aura surrounded Kira and made his body glow. His black hair turned golden white and lifted up as if unaffected by gravity.
Kira then muttered in a low tone.
"Light Drive"
Light Drive is one of the strongest techniques Kira has, it is a technique that is one of the three highest forms of light magic, which is to be light itself.
In this mode, the speed and reflexes that Kira has is completely beyond common sense. This technique is an amalgamation of the mental techniques that exist in Guanyin Bodhisattva and the Light Shinsu that he possesses.
But because Kira hasn't perfected this technique, he can only use it for no more than 1 minute. And there are more terrible side effects than that when Kira uses this technique.
That is, because Kira will continue to move at speeds close to the light, his body will experience very severe side effects.
Looking at Kira's current form, Urek smiled wider, while Kira thought while looking at his palm which was not covered by a golden light aura. That is all he does so he can still use his Chaos Energy, because even a light will disappear when it touches Chaos Energy.
'In this one minute, I must be able to hurt him. '
Then, two Chaos Baang formed on Kira's palms. Urek, who had seen Kira using the purple Energy orbs that had wounded him before, was excited.
*flash*
However, before he could say anything, even before he could blink his eyes, suddenly Kira had appeared behind Urek and attacked him using Chaos Baang in his hand.
"Chaos Baang: Void Zone."
Urek widened his eyes because of the crazy speed that Kira showed, but he immediately took action and escaped at a very fast speed.
'What the hell i-'
When Urek was trying to digest what he saw just now, suddenly Kira had appeared in front of him and grabbed his wrist.
Kira then immediately injected Chaos Energy into Urek's body from his right hand which had previously used Chaos Baang, while his left hand which was still holding Chaos Baang attacked Urek's stomach.
* buzz *
Urek widened his eyes as he suddenly felt the entire Shinsu in his body disappear for a moment, though not more than a millisecond, but that was enough for Kira to attack him using Chaos Baang.
'With this everything is finished, and I win. '
And then, Urek who saw Kira's attack only grinned, before suddenly the world around him slowed down.
"You have indeed become faster ..."
And when Kira felt that his attack would hit Urek, Urek suddenly swung his fist with incredible speed towards Kira's body.
"... but that doesn't eliminate the fact that you need Shinsu's help to do that, and there is no Shinsu who is faster and more destructive than mine in this tower."
* Boom *
Then, a very large Shinsu Blast was fired at Kira's body and immediately bent the space around it.
'Eh? '
Kira suddenly felt that his entire body could not be moved, the entire Light Shinsu that surrounding his body had vanished and his Light Drive was forcibly destroyed by Urek.
While Urek who had escaped Kira's attack smiled, he clenched his fist before it shone very brightly.
"Looks like you forgot the fact that as long as you still rely on Shinsu to fight me, then you will never be able to defeat me ..."
And Urek swung his fist.
"... 25%, Meteor Burst!"
* buzz *
After Urek said that, the sky glowed and a Shinsu Blast of a size that could even cover the sky was shot towards Kira.
Even though it was late because he was still a bit shocked before, Kira immediately formed a Chaos Baang to protect his body
* BOOM *
Nothing could be seen, the power of the blow that Urek launched made the sky tremble.
Mai who was flying up to stop Kira was immediately dumbfounded by the terrifying sight in front of her.
" What... is that? "
While the purple haired woman who was watching Urek and Kira's battle from the start was stunned to see the attack that Urek launched.
*
*
*
* drip *
After the light covering the sky disappeared, Kira was seen struggling to stand while holding his left hand which had been cut off and trying to stop the bleeding.
Cut off might not be the right word, it was completely destroyed by Urek's previous attack. Kira's lower hand is the part of his body that was most affected by the Urek's Meteor Burst attack.
Kira's body is really in a very bad condition right now, especially his left side body, because previously he only had time to protect his right side using Chaos Baang.
"* pant * * pant * * pant *"
Kira looks breathless, his eyes were very dim as if he could collapse at any time, even his legs were shaking as he tried to prop himself in the air.
While Urek, his condition looks fine even though he has a wound on his hand caused by Chaos Baang before.
"Looks like this is my victory, Kira."
Urek then said to Kira from a distance.
"That was an amazing battle, it's been a long time since anyone could make me spend 25% of my strength like that ..."
"..." Kira just kept quiet while continuing to try to stop the bleeding in his left hand.
"If I think about it, it doesn't make sense for a regular who has just reached the 27th floor like you to have this power ..."
Urek was seen smiling and waiting for Kira's reaction, but he remained expressionless as he tore his black pants and tied them in his left hand.
'This kiddo hasn't given up yet? Didn't he give up after being beaten like that? Doesn't he feel that his internal organs can break if he moves too much? '
Urek knew that the attack he had carried out earlier not only destroyed Kira's arm, but also damaged Kira's internal organs. Although he had protected himself using Chaos Baang, Kira was still exposed to the vibrations from the 25% Meteor Burst.
Urek then opened his mouth again.
"I see ... so you really are an Irregular, well it's only natural because you can hurt me with the mysterious techniques you have."
Urek thought about Chaos Baang who repeatedly endangered him.
"It would be a pity if you were killed because in my opinion you are a very pleasant opponent to fight with, but a man cannot withdraw his words, right?"
Kira looked at Urek with a lethargic look, while Urek just smiled and said to Kira.
"Therefore I will give you a choice, you want me to kill you here right now, or you want me to let you die of its own due to bleeding and organ malfunction, say your choice!"
But, before Kira can open his mouth. A woman's voice came from the side.
"Roundrobin: Triangle Bind"
In an instant, 3 prism-shaped Lighthouses glides towards Urek and surrounds it, lines of light connect the three Lighthouses and try to stop Urek's movement.
It was Mai's voice, after using Roundrobin to Urek, Mai immediately arrived beside Kira to take him away from there.
"Let's get out of here Mr. Kira." Said Mai while supporting Kira's body.
But before they could leave, Urek had arrived in front of them with a calm face.
"Well ... that's a pretty strong Lighthouse, but even Opera can only stop my motion for a millisecond."
'Shit! '
Mai gritted her teeth because she had failed to save Kira. Seeing the beautiful woman in front of him trying to save Kira, it must be admitted that made Urek quite jealous.
"Looks like you love your lover so much that you dare to face me like this, young lady," Urek asked.
"Lord Kira is my master," Mai answered with a deadpan expression.
"Master, huh ... You better get out of there, young lady, I am a man who cannot hurt beautiful women like you, so can you step aside for a moment and let me kill this child?"
Hearing Urek's words, Mai put on a disgusted face and did not waver in the slightest, she said to Urek firmly even though she knew that Urek could kill her and Kira at any time.
"Go over my dead body if you want to kill him."
Hearing that, Urek's eyes widened for a moment before he let out a tired sigh.
"* sigh * This is why I'm having so much trouble dealing with women."
Urek also thought sadly when he saw Kira and Mai.
'If only ... if only a woman had said that to save me, then I would have given up everything I had for her ... heck, makes me jealous! '
Urek bit his finger in annoyance before he scratched his head and said to Mai.
"Well whatever ... after all he will die by itself with all the wounds on his body."
Urek then brought up the pocket in his hand and saw a message to him.
"Hmm? Yuje already got the pearl? Well then that's good ..."
After that, Urek glanced briefly towards Mai and Kira before he turned to leave immediately.
"If, for example, that kid dies and you want to take revenge on me, come to the 77th floor to meet me, I will respectfully accept you as my opponent."
After saying that, Urek immediately flew and his back disappeared from Kira and Mai's view.
After seeing Urek leave, Mai's body relaxed again. She then felt a movement from Kira who was beside her.
"I told you not to interfere, what if he killed you ..." said Kira in a low voice, before he lost consciousness in Mai's arms.
Mai who heard that gritted her teeth and said.
" You liar. "
After that, Mai immediately supports Kira's body and takes him back to their resort to treat his injuries.
***
* Fwash *
An elevator opened and showed the shirtless figure of Urek. When he exited the elevator, he was greeted by a tall man in formal attire with black hair.
"Welcome back, Sir Urek," the man said, bowing slightly to Urek.
"Ah Yuje, is what you say true?" Urek asked as he accepted the Hoodie that Yuje gave him.
"That's right Sir, because the Test Administrator who conducted the exam mysteriously disappeared, so I decided to disguise myself as a test administrator and take the Black Pearls from the Regular who succeeded in capturing the Black Eel King," Yuje said.
"That's good but who is Regular who can catch those troublesome creatures?" Urek asked while walking with Yuje following behind.
"I don't know but two of them are members of the 10 Great Families, they also ..."
When Yuje was talking suddenly Urek vomited blood.
"* cough *"
Seeing that, Yuje put on a worried face.
"Sir, what happened? Are you all right-"
Before Yuje could finish what he said, he stopped when he saw a sizable scar on Urek's right hand.
"... What happened to your hand, Sir?"
Seeing the wound, Yuje thought in shock.
'Who is the person who can cause injuries like this to Sir Urek? Did one of Great Families head appear on this floor? '
Meanwhile, Urek who didn't want to look hurt immediately went back to acting as usual and walked.
"Don't worry Yuje, it's not a serious injury, let's go straight to the 21st floor."
Yuje only nodded when he heard Urek's words, while Urek was still thinking about the feeling when Kira injected his Chaos Energy into his body.
