Chapter 41 - 「 Tournament 」

A few minutes have passed, the Growth Tournament continues, some of the other teams' spearheads have fallen. Likewise with the battle between Team Rea and FUG.

"What? You lost the signal to Bam? How come?"

Rea has now reached the foot of the volcano in the middle of the Water stadium, and trying to save Bam. In accordance with the plan Kira had shared with the two of them, Rea and Aguero would work together to defeat the other team FUG members while let Bam to get Enryu's Thorn.

The last order was given directly by Kira, because it was a request from Hansung Yu to him.

{There is no time, it's likely that he is currently being held in a place that can block his Shinsu's flow so that my Lighthouse can no longer detect his whereabouts. But, you don't need to hesitate, because the signal is suddenly missing inside the volcano, maybe Bam is still there, Be careful}

Aguero's voice that seemed calm could be heard from the Lighthouse hovering beside Rea. Before the game started, Aguero had handed one of his Lighthouses to Rea.

"Um."

Rea then saw the entrance in front, but before she managed to enter, someone jumped from the top and attacked her.

* fwuosh * * clang *

But Rea can deflect it using Chosinseong in her hand. That person was a pale-skinned boy, with yellow hair and a red hat. Rea then distances herself from that person.

 {Be careful, Rea, that person is the person who met Bam before, it's likely that he was the one who captured Bam. }

Rea just nodded at Aguero's explanation. While Aguero who is in the distance thinks.

'But how can he take part in this tournament, does the tournament coordinator not realize it? or ... '

That person who saw Rea said to Rea.

"Are you Viole's friend?"

"No, I'm Bam's friend," Rea said with a serious expression, making the person confused.

"Huh? Well whatever, since you have come to the place, I Beta will kill you."

However, when Beta was talking suddenly Rea appeared behind him while swinging her sword, which made Beta surprised because of her speed.

"I'm in a hurry, so you stay here first."

* swing *

Beta managed to avoid Rea's slash by crouching, then twisted his legs to send a kick that Rea could also easily avoid.

"Arie Rea's Swordmanship: Morning ...

Utilizing the performance of her agile body, Rea then crossed Chosinseong who gave off a white aura like fire from its blade.

 ... star !! "

* fwas * * fwas * * fwas *

Then, at the same time Rea sent three slashes in a very short span of time, and made Beta widen his eyes in surprise.

"Partial Igniton: Dionysos"

Although Beta knew he was late because of Rea's rapid slash, but as a living Ignition weapon, he activated his special ability, Partial Ignition. And in a flash, giant green hands appeared from inside his body and tried to protect his body from Rea's slash.

* splash *

' What!? Her slash cut my Dionysos !? '

Although he can protect his body from Rea's attack, but the attack managed to injure his Dionysos. And Rea did not stop there.

"Arie Rea's Swordmanship ..."

Hearing that voice, Beta widened his eyes because his instincts were aware of something dangerous from Rea.

"Partial Igniton: Phobos !!!"

Then, there appeared a creature that looked like a demon monster behind Beta. The monster then pulled a giant hand from its body and 3 Baang Shinsu appeared at once.

Meanwhile, Rea has been preparing to glide towards Beta.

"... Fallen Star !!"

"Roaring!!"

* Rumble *

The three Baangs in the hands of the creature named Phobos were then fired towards Rea to form a yellowish green Beam.

However, like a flash of white light, Rea exceeded the speed of the three beams and managed to swing a horizontal slash and tried to slice Beta's body into two parts.

However, the two giant hands of Phobos blocked Rea's attack which only made Beta blown back and hit the rock behind him very hard.

* fwuosh * * crack *

Dust flew and covered the view of the broken rocks, while Rea had regained her footing.

"* pant * Damn, those hands always come at the right time."

* tap *

Moments later, Beta is seen trying to stand with difficulty on a pile of crushed stone, he vomiting blood after being impacted by Rea's previous attack.

* cough *

"Why ... why are you all so determined to save him HAH !! What is so special about him, why does that perfect always get everything, everything I want !! Why !?" Beta roared angrily, he looked like a crazy person.

Beta is a Living Ignition Weapon, an experimental creature, a monster created from the human ego and their desire for new things. He also thought like that before he met with Jue Viole Grace.

A Living Ignition Weapon like him who have a perfect life like humans, so he thought. Beta felt that they were similar, but their destiny was different, everything he wanted, was owned by him. Everything.

"I will kill you and bring your dead body to Viole, what kind of expression he will show later huh, Im curious. "

While Rea who heard that only said with an expression of sympathy to Beta.

"So that's how it is, basically you're just jealous of Bam because you've been locked up and can't see the beauty of the outside world, what a sad story, okay, I Arie Rea will open your eyes to the world and show how beautiful it is ... But right now, I have to save Bam as soon as possible, so I will finish you in one hit. "

Hearing that, the expression on Beta's face got even worse, he felt himself being underestimated by Rea.

"Don't be big-headed, little girl!" Then all parts of Beta's body were covered with a layer of green, as if his body was Dionysos itself.

"Go forward !!"

But he had said a word that was completely forbidden when in front of Rea.

"What did you say just now, Huh!? ... Ignition."

When Rea said her last word, Chosinseong in her hand shined very brightly before the blade actually turned white like light sword.

The killing intent oozed from Rea's figure, which made Beta exaggerate suddenly, his body tightened and his eyes widened.

"I will end this battle with one attacks, Arie Rea's Swordmanship Secret Move ...

The scene before Beta became bright, before a cold sound could be heard.

... Nova. "

*flash*

Then the forest around them became quiet, a wave of light swept Beta like a tsunami wave, and it was enough to attract the attention of the people around him.

"Th-that ... What was that just now?"

In one corner of the forest, Rak, Arkraptor and Ehwa are seen running towards the volcano.

While Aguero who had been watching the battle from the start could only praise the power shown by Rea.

'As expected of the Arie family members, their swordsmanship is very impressive ... although I think the techniques that Rea has are very different from the Arie family sword techniques in general. '

But suddenly Aguero was awakened by Wangnan's voice.

{O-oi Khun, this is bad, it seems I can't summon Viole. }

Aguero then glanced towards the screen and widened his eyes in surprise.

'Huh !? This man, how can Yama's Mad Dog Baragav be there !? Isn't he already fail in the previous round, why is he in this water stadium. Did the tournament coordinator not realize it ... '

Aguero then seen thinking while holding his chin with serious expression.

'Now, what should I do. '

*

Meanwhile, go back to Rea's place. Currently seen Beta whose body was badly injured due to an attack from Rea just now lying helpless on the ground.

Rea then approached towards him and put her sword that had returned to normal condition with a sharp look.

"Hurry up and tell me, what are you planning to do with Ba- I mean Viole, and where he is ..."

"* cough * You think I'll tell you * cough *"

* spurt *

Rea then stuck her sword into Beta's shoulder and said.

"Be aware of your current condition ..."

Hearing that Beta moaned in pain. He then paused for a moment before he looked towards Archimedes who slowly approached the top of the volcano.

"Eck, hahaha, it's too late, when the hot liquid in the tail of Archimedes is poured into the volcano and melts Viole's body, it will create a Thorn that has the power of an Irregular !!"

Hearing that Rea widened her eyes, she turned and saw Archimedes approaching the peak of the volcano, then he remembered Kira and Mai's conversation when they first entered the 30th Floor.

[ Does Archimedes really have that part? ]

Getting a bad feeling, Rea then gritted her teeth.

"This son of a bitch ... Aguero, did you hear everything, we must save Bam immediately!"

{I know, right now Novick and Teddy Bear are trying to find Bam's whereabouts. If his words are true, then this tournament will really be stopped, everything Kira said is true, we must find a way to leave immediately after saving Bam. }

"Then what should I do now, this bastard won't open his mouth."

{Right now we are sticking to our plan to summon Bam using the summoning site, the points Franz has collected are also enough, but Wangnan who I sent there was stopped by Mad Dog. }

"What? Hasn't he failed before? But no problem, I'll take care of that person, tell the blonde boy to buy time."

{ Ok }

Before she left Rea glanced towards Beta and said.

"I really understand what you feel is Beta, but the way you act is a mistake."

"..."

Then Rea turned and ran, leaving Beta who was still lying on the ground alone.

***

Meanwhile, Bam is currently seen being bound by a kind of blue hose that continuously absorbs his Shinsu and makes him unable to use Baang Shinsu.

'This is bad, I can't get myself out of here, everyone will be in danger if I just stay in this place like a fool. Use your brain Bam, how to get out of this situation. Mr. Reflejo is also not here, this is the right time to escape. '

***

At the moment there are two men running in caves in the volcano, that is Novick and another of Bam's colleagues named Horyang.

"Staying straight ahead, we will arrive at the point that Khun has given, the point where the flow of Shinsu Viole is felt for the last time."

However, when they had reached the last road, it was blocked by a large robot, which was a Lv.85 patrol robot from Archimedes, Blue Titan.

" Tch! at a time like this, You go and open the door Novick, I'll buy some time." Horyang said.

"Okay, I'll leave this big one to you, Teddy bear."

Then, a blue wing on Horyang's back grew bigger and his hands seemed to be coated in a kind of black steel. While Novick approached the big black door and tried to open it

'Damn, this door is very difficult to open, besides there is no key hole, do I have to break it by force? '

However, before the Blue Titan began to attack Horyang, the door suddenly shattered which surprised Novick and a blue Beam shot towards the Blue Titan and pierced his steel body.

* Wang * * boom *

The Blue Titan then emitted smoke when its engine was damaged by the attack before it collapsed helplessly on the ground. Novick and Horyang then looked in the direction where the Beam was fired and widened their eyes when they saw a figure standing there with a thorn floating on his back.

"" Viole !! ""

***

"* pant * * pant * * pant * Crazy bastard, shouldn't you have been defeated by that guy named Light."

At this time, in the summoning area was seen Wangnan who fell with a blow to his stomach. In front of him at this time was the figure of Baragav who should have failed and a woman named Ron Mei.

"I came here to get revenge, to that person, quickly use your point to call him here or I'll kill you."

"Do I look like someone who will do that? idiot."

Wangnan was seen struggling to his feet and felt his bones had broken just because he had received an attack from Baragav. Even so, he fearlessly refused Baragav's offer, because if he did what he was told, then the point he would use to summon Viole would be exhausted only to summon the masked mysterious man named Light.

Baragav who saw that said.

"Then I must destroy your body so that you beg forgiveness from me."

"Try it if you dare bastard !!"

* crack *

Baragav clenched his hands with the intention of killing, while Wangnan who, despite his death, looked at Baragav fearlessly.

"Then don't blame me for acting rude."

* fwuossh *

Baragav then glided towards Wangnan who was leaning against the cave wall with terrifying speed, but before his fist hit Wangnan, a white light appeared from above and collided with Baragav's hard body.

* flash * * clang *

Baragav widened his eyes as he felt his hand slam into a sword, before he felt a very hard kick in his stomach which knocked him backward.

* bump *

" Who is that... "

Said Ron Mei who was surprised by the presence of a mysterious figure suddenly, but her smile disappeared after she saw who the figure was.

The figure was none other than Arie Rea, who was seen standing with Chosinseong in her hand who gave off a white aura like fire. While Wangnan who saw Rea's back widened his eyes.

"Looks like you have been beaten to death by him, blonde boy, but take it easy, now let me take care of them, when I keep them busy, you just need to focus on summoning Bam."

Hearing that Wangnan nodded, Rea then expressed her attention towards Baragav and said.

"So you are said to be the strongest E-class regular huh ... it seems like people are overestimating your abilities, aren't you ashamed after being humiliated by Kir- I mean that guy named Light."

"What did you say ..." Baragav said coldly and full of killing intent. While Rea just put on a serious expression and pointed Chosinseong towards Baragav.

"Then let me, Arie Rea makes you realize how weak you are, Yama's Mad Dog."

* breeze *

Meanwhile, Kira is currently seen standing above Archimedes with his hands in his pockets and looking at the course of the tournament which has been a mess due to the actions of FUG.

"How many FUG rankers are currently in Archimedes? And where are their exact locations ..."

Then, Mai's voice could be heard from the nearby Lighthouse.

{At present there are a total of 7 FUG rankers who are guarding the hot liquid in Archimedes' tail, three of them are Advance Ranker. }

" Oh, I see... "

But suddenly someone appeared behind Kira from a distance which made him smile a little.

"... Looks like one of them has come, Mai."

Kira then turned and saw the person standing in the distance calmly. That person was seem creating several Baangs and ready to fight against Kira, while Kira only said.

"All right, I suppose this is the beginning of a touching reunion?"
