*Clank*
Emma threw dozens of daggers towards Ichiro.
But Ichiro was already prepared and deflected them all.
'Where does she get all these daggers?!' Ichiro screamed internally. Emma was wearing only a sports bra with shorts.
He has no idea where she can get the daggers.
He didn't have time to think more because loud stomps appeared behind him.
Ichiro did side jump, just in time to see his previous spot explode.
''Stop running!'' Daniel screamed and chased after Ichiro.
''Kiyah!'' Lock appeared behind Ichiro and pushed his palm forwards, hoping to break Ichiro's back.
But it was wishful thinking.
*Bam*
Ichiro's kick landed on Lock's arm, which almost broke it.
''RGH!'' Lock quickly retreated. He looked at his arm and saw a massive bruise forming.
He wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and chased after Ichiro.
Ichiro spun the swords in front of him and turned his body towards Daniel. He lunged forwards with his two swords still spinning.
Daniel swung his blade, which looked extremely small compared to his massive 3-meter body.
[Iron Sword - Beautiful Death]
Ichiro clenched his two sword hilts tighter, and once he was close enough to Daniel, he swung his swords.
The swords made the atmosphere quiet and scary.
It was like the only thing remaining in the world were these two swords.
His two swords contacted with Daniel's sword, but the outcome was very unexpected.
Ichiro's swords pierced through Daniel's sword like it was butter.
This is where the advantage of Ichiro appears.
Daniel's sword was getting worse with each collision because Ichiro's swords were made by the best blacksmith in the world!
That blacksmith happens to be the young man who was wielding the swords!
Ichiro's swords didn't stop after destroying the swords. They traveled all the way to the pale Daniel.
*SPURT*
The swords easily cut through Daniel's flesh.
''AAAAAAAAH!'' Daniel screamed in agony. His chest has now two very visible sword slashes, with blood gushing out.
Leppercon stood up with a shock, ''How is he still winning?!''
Arkenthym grinned, ''I guess my little slave became stronger during his stay in Coldland.''
Leppercon glanced at him and asked, ''One day he will be strong enough to fight against us, and you are soon at the threshold of Age of Deterioration.''
Arkenthym nodded.
''What if he wants… Revenge.'' Leppercon sat down and asked with a serious look.
Arkenthym grinned, ''If he wants revenge… Everyone in Irio will die. I didn't just sit still and wait for him to call Abyss for rescue. I have put over 100kg of dynamite under every school in Irio, and I have 100 Martial Leader puppets ready.''
''You are crazy!'' Leppercon shouted, but soon vicious grin appeared on his face.
While they were talking.
They didn't notice an illusionary figure flying on top of them!
The illusionary figure had an obscure face, and the body stature didn't give out the figure's gender.
'I see… I should tell Ichiro… This is another motivation for him to improve his Martial Arts… This is my purpose, after all, to improve his strength with any means necessary!' The illusionary figure started flying towards the black-haired figure.
No one in the stadium saw the flying figure. It was like the figure was invisible in the eyes of everyone.
The illusionary figure touched the black-haired young man's head and got sucked inside.
Ichiro felt goosebumps going through his back, but he shook his head and concentrated on the match.
The spectators were already shouting with hoarse tones. They wanted Ichiro dead, but he was still winning!
They had hopes after Daniel's empowerment, but that seemed completely useless!
His strength is way above Ichiro's, but what is the point if his attacks can't hit the target.
Emma was assisting Daniel well, but her attacks were ineffective against Ichiro.
Lock was completely useless.
His close combat mastery was now his weakness. He can't get near Ichiro, or he might die instantly.
But, he didn't plan helping much. He is stalling time.
He wants Ichiro and Daniel to get tired, so he can deal the finishing blow.
He is confident in killing Emma. She is strong but not at the level of genius.
But that's all Lock's thoughts.
Actually… Emma is not going all-out. She has been trained by Assassins. Even though she has become retard in some sense, the teachings are still present in her mind.
She remembers her master saying that she should be careful and find the perfect timing to deal the finishing blow.
Ichiro, since the beginning, knew that they were not truly trying. Daniel was going all-out, but he was only one person.
If Emma and Lock went all-out since the beginning, then he might be in trouble, but it was their biggest mistake on going easy.
Ichiro concentrated all his attacks on Daniel, who was suffering under the barrage of attacks. His large body was riddled with wounds, but he still looked somewhat healthy.
His vitality shocked even Ichiro, but it was only a matter of time before he dies from blood loss.
Emma was holding a dagger and she noticed a massive weakspot on Ichiro and Daniel!
'Perfect timing…' She thought to herself, she ran towards the two figures with a speed which was way above anyone else in this tournament!
When she was close enough… She threw dozens of daggers on Ichiro's back, and jumped towards Daniel with her dagger ready to pierce through his heart!
Daniel widened his eyes in shock, but Ichiro… grinned.
*SWOOSH*
Ichiro disappeared! His body looked like it became illusionary and it just disappeared.
Emma widened her eyes in shock and watched as a dozen daggers stabbed through Daniel's body.
She also used her dagger to stab through Daniel's heart.
''PFFT!'' Daniel coughed a mouthful of blood, he looked at Emma with an enraged face.
''BITCH!'' He grabbed Emma's head and crushed it!
*BAM*
Her head exploded and her body fell down on the ground lifelessly.
Daniel tried to get rid of the daggers, but soon… His body started shrinking!
His 3-meter body became 1.7m tall with a skinny body. He took two last breaths until dying.
Ichiro looked at the two dead corpses and then he turned his head towards the pale Lock.
''Well, hello there.''
