[Proto Earth]
The heat that Kaido was producing this time was so hot that it can almost be measured up to 6,000 Fahrenheit and still climbing. If it were given more time, the heat would soon reached the surface heat level of the sun which is 10,000 Fahrenheit. Of course such an act was a complete suicide, since once Kaido reached that amount of heat he could produce, not only would the whole city be vaporized, but possibly even the whole planet itself.
Just by his display of power alone, Kaido is literally reminded Axel why he is also called by the scientist as a destruction level esper. Since despite not having the complete power to go beyond 3 dimensional space, his power alone could end the world if handled wrongly. This time due to Axel proving himself to be a capable opponent, Kaido once again found himself at the limit of his potential as he tries his hardest to knock down the wall and break through his limits.
Alongside the appearance of the fire within his surroundings, Kaido begun absorbing the fire towards his body as he turned the once bright red flames into a damnation black flames and entered a crouching stance. Upon seeing this stance, Axel knew that something was about to happen as he stood on his ground and prepared himself to counter Kaido.
At this moment unknown to the both of them, their fight had already caused a huge commotion, as many people had already died just from their fight alone. Due to their rampage, many were caught in their crossfire, which caused them their life for getting involved in between their fight. Due to that various news outlet begun hunting down the perpetrators of this incident, followed by almost all the people I'm the city waking up from the continously loud explosions happening all over the place.
At first when Lilia heard those explosions, she was slightly worried whether the fight would reached the residential area as she felt that the battle that was happening in the city was on a whole other level from what she previously experienced. However that was it, she was only worried but not scared, after all Kaido was there to protect her home.
But all hopes and expectations were lost when she suddenly realized that Kaido was not inside her room nor anywhere inside her home. It that moment she suddenly felt worried followed by suspicion, before she turned her head towards the city area. As if she had caught unto something, the look of shock in her eyes could be seen, as she hurriedly picked up her jacket and put all of her needed weapons into her inventory.
If her guest was right, Kaido was now fighting agaisnt a strong enemy in the city, which caused all of this commotion. Because of that Kaido was in danger from both his enemies and the authority of the city, after all fighting and using skills between player outside the dungeon was prohibited by the law, once caught in the act, not only would he be condemned but he might also loose everything he owned.
She can't let Kaido get caught, after all, she owe him a lot from saving her from her assassination attempt, she needed to do everything she can to save him.
At the same time in another place, Janus and the rest of the mercenary group woke up from the commotion as he was shocked by the destructiveness of the battle itself. Of course he was confused on who was doing all of this, but after Lucian stated that Axel was fighting agaisnt their target, he then begun to fill with rage as he felt that Axel had done something that was agsisnt his order. They were supposed to take Kaido out silently without anyone noticing, but this commotion alone literally destroyed all his previous prepared plan as he felt insulted by this act.
"Axel! You goddamned bastard, I said to take him down silently, I'll make you pay for ruining the plan"
As various sides begun to take action, another huge explosion followed by a pillar of black flame rose from the city, as both Kaido and Axel had begun clashing once more.
At this very moment Axel was jumping from one building window into another as he tried his best to avoid getting hit by the black flames that Kaido kept throwing around at him. After avoiding his attacks for what seems like about 40 seconds, he then raised up his arm to control the building behind him, and used his pyschic energy to drop the whole building onto of him.
Of course this proved a bit useless, as Kaido used his own flames to obliterate the whole building falling on top of him, and completely killing the people who were on it. But this slight chance that he opened was enough, as Axel teleported in front of his and sent out a palm strike towards his guts which carried the force of about 40,000 tons. Due to that Kaido was sent flying backwards as he felt his guts churned and his insides being crushed by the attack itself.
Of course Kaido crashed through multiple buildings, as he quickly got a hold of himself after biting the tip of his tongue and landed unto the glass wall of the 10th building he landed upon. But before he could even launch forward, he then suddenly sensed Axel behind him, as he took a look behind him and saw the person himself carrying a gigantic sword of light and slashed down towards him.
Seeing this, Kaido quickly puts 200 times barrier unto his left hand, as he sued it to block the attack, causing a huge immense shockwave to erupt and destroy all the glass around them. But before they could fall inside the building, Axel quickly snaps his finger, as he transported the both of them back into the mirror world where only the two of them exist.
Upon seeing this room, he grew angrier once more as he launched forward and tried to kill Axel, but the moment he did that, Axel increased the gravity of this world, as he seemed to summon a hundred of demonic creatures at the same time, which saw Kaido as an enemy.
Because of that Kaido has no choice but to destroy all the demons in a matter of 60 seconds, only to get thrown by Axel with a mini sun right at his face. With that a huge explosion rung out which caused the majority of the mirror world to break and lessens the chances of him breaking out of this world.
Afterwards without him noticing, Axel exits the mirror world as he begun destroying all the mirrors holding the reflection, in order to trap kaido within that world. Naturally Kaido saw that ploy, as he quickly got up despite being injured and try to get out of this space by ramming himself into a mirror that hasn't broken yet.
However everytime he got closer to an intact mirror, Axel would then destroy it the next second after, in order to not let him get out of the mirror world. Of course this angered Kaido as he tried to ran faster than the degree that Axel was destroying the mirrors. But the moment Kaido sped up, Axel quickly ran alongside him as he continously destroy the mirrors that Kaido was trying to get into.
As anger swelled up inside of him, Kaido begun dashing towards all the available mirrors he could see, by climbing unto a building, jumping through a corridor of mirrors and even entering establishments filled with mirrors, but no matter what he do, Axel seemed to be one step ahead of him as all the mirrors he came across are destroyed in the next second.
In that moment Kaido adruptly stopped on its tracks as he quickly tried to think of a way to outsmart Axel's system. The meaning of a mirror can be literal, reflecting one's physical appearance, or metaphorical, symbolizing self-reflection, truth, or introspection. It can also represent duality, illusions, or the idea of seeing oneself as others see us. In this sense, mirror could mean reflection.
It doesn't have to be a literal mirror itself in order to project himself. There are many stuff that can mirror a person clearly, all he need was to find which one. In that moment Kaido saw the fire hydrant at the side of the road and had an idea.
Meanwhile the moment Axel saw Kaido stopping on his tracks, he then also stopped running, as he watched what Kaido was doing while also keeping note on what he was about to do. In that moment while he was fully focused unto Kaido, he then heard the sound of sirens closing in, as he realized that he and Kaido had created so much chaos and destruction that the defense force of this world literally took notice of them. Since many innocent bystanders were killed along the oath of their fight, he knew that this won't end well if either of them were caught red handed.
In that moment, realizing that he got distracted by the sound of the sirens, he then quickly looked back to where he last saw Kaido and realized that Kaido was nowhere to be seen in the mirror world.
"Did he escape?"
That was the first thought of Axel as he tried to search for him through the mirrors reflection. But as if answering the question he had in mind, Kaido then suddenly appeared behind him, as he grabbed his head and slammed it unti the mirror, before getting dragged all over the place and getting punched on the guts right after.
It hurts, it truly hurts. In just one attack, Axel could feel his whole body trembling as the pain from the attacks literally destroyed his internal organs, however such pain was nothing from what he endured after his first defeat from Kaido. So sucking up the pain, he then quickly grabbed unto Kaido's shirt as he drag Kaido alongside him, from getting blown away by the force of the attack.
Without remorse to its surroundings, both of them crashed unto multiple structures, as each of them felt their own body breaking apart. At that, when both of them crashed into a corner, both of them were thrown into different section, which completely separates them from one another.
While Kaido was slowly recovering from his injuries, Axel on the other hand instantly recovered as he stood up, all completely healed from just one single snap of his finger.
"I really thought that you got me there, I really do... good thing I can alter my fate right? Unfortunately for you, you don't have such capabilities"
With that, Axel produces iron steel rods with changing property, as he punctured Kaido body with such rods and pinned him unto the ground. For the first time Kaido ache in pain as his blood started to flow out from the wounds that the rod had made in his body.
"You..."
"Yes me"
"I'll kill you"
"Let's see if you can"
In that moment, Axel multiplied the blood cells within Kaido's body, as the latter felt the increase of its blood cells and deemed it dangerous as it goes on. Having too many red blood cells is a condition called polycythemia. It can lead to issues like increased blood viscosity, which can hinder blood flow and potentially lead to complications like blood clots, stroke, or heart attack.
Through that, Kaido's body begin to convulsed, as intense pain can be felt within his heart and the blood begun pouring our of his eyes, nose, and ears. The only way for him to survive was to kill his own bloodcells to quickly stabilize his body's condition.
However the rate in which Axel was messing with his body was much faster than what he can recover, due to that his condition didn't get better at all. Realizing this Kaido pumped his calculation speed to an even greater heights as he quickly killed off all the excessive bloodcells within his body. But by doing this, he is burning through his mental condition and tire him out in the process.
"Struggle as you might Kaido, but it won't change a thing... you lost"
Hearing the word lost from a person who is part of the organization he loathes the most, blood veins popped out from underneath his skin as his rage boiled to the point that Kaido was glaring at him with bloodshot eyes.
In that instant, Kaido quickly focused once more as he then plans to execute his instant analysis that he had learned on Ingrid's world. However the moment he tried to execute it, Axel quickly noticed the sudden change of flow inside Kaido's body, as blood quickly rushed up to his brain as if he was about to do something. So instead of actually letting Kaido finish what he intended to do, Axel quickly smashed in his head towards the ground as he pressed on it while asking him.
"Just what the hell are you trying to do here?"
"....."
"Not gonna talk? I'll tell you this... its useless, no matter what you do, I won't let you do anything out of my expectation"
After stating that, Axel then burst some veins connected to Kaido's heart, forcing the person himself to fully focus on recovering his damaged cells, instead of his mind. Making him split his attention into two places, Kaido quickly gnashed his teeth as he plans to try it once more but this time even more covert than before.
Even though the chance of this being found out is below 1%, he has no choice on the matter if he wanted to get out of this situation. Surprisingly after pressing him down, Axel begun to talk once more as he stood up and walked infront of him.
"You know... I didn't start this fight, you did... so basically all I did was in the name of self defense... your the one who went on a rampage"
"Bullshit!!!"
"Its true... in fact your rampage had actually killed a lot of innocent bystanders... this chaos is not my fault, it's yours"
"....."
In that moment while Axel was taking his sweet time on calming down Kaido, he the suddenly sensed a presence heading his direction in a incredible speed, causing him to stop on his tracks and look at the direction on where he sensed the presence approaching him, but the moment he turned around, a sudden silhouette cover his sight as the shining edge of the blade came after him and completely sliced his throat Ina single breath.
In an instant blood splurged out from his wounded neck as he was shocked on how fast that attack was. In fact he never expected someone that fast would attack him, the attack was so fast that the moment he reacted, it was already too late. This is taking note that Axel always had his guard up, so succeeding on that attempt greatly surprised him.
"Guh!"
Seeing the blood spilled everywhere, Axel stepped back for a few steps ashe felt a sword stabbed him from behind as it punctured through his chest which completely destroyed his lungs.
Coughing out blood, he then looked behind him, as he saw Lilia in her Pajamas, coldly killing him without remorse present within her eyes.
"Who are..."
But before he could finish his words, Lilia pulled the sword upwards as she cuts his left shoulder into half, as she proceeded to cross slash his back, before doing a low spin kick on his legs causing him to fall, and penta stab on his body towards his head while still falling in mid air. All of this happened in a manner of 3 seconds, with that one can just imagine how fast Lilia had executed her attack.
Once she downed Axel, Lilia came over Kaido as she Exclaimed.
"Kaido! Are you okay?"
"Do I look fine?"
"I'll take that as a yes"
"I don't care, where are the others?"
"Your other companions, I think that they are currently fighting something"
Hearing that Kaido couldn't help but think up multiple scenarios on how Axel had occupied the other Calamity class beings, as he covertly begun analyzing his own self. In the midst of that, Kaido surprisingly saw Axel standing behind Lilia as he somehow looked menacing, from all the blood that had been spilled.
"Watch out!!!"
Upon hearing Kaido's warning, Lilia turned to look around as he saw Axel pointing his fingers towards Lilia's head like some kind of a gun, and said.
"Boom!!!"
Under that one word Lilia's head exploded into bits of pieces as she lost her head and her body limping down besides Kaido.
"That... wow! Well its quite sad that she had to die, after all she was quite fast... but her existence proved to be troublesome for you, so I chose to just kill her"
"What?"
"I knew about her you know, before even confronting you, that mercenary group had a stockpile of your information, and the things about that girl was also compiled due to the fact that she is taking care of you"
"You..."
"Me? Why? Is there something you want to talk about?"
"... you talk too much"
As if that was the trigger from something, Lilia reappeared in Axel's shadow as she used a sneak attack and greatly damaged his back with her continously slash. Apparently through her observation from afar, getting in combat with Axel is really dangerous to the point that even Kaido was helpless. So since this is real world not inside the dungeon, death was an absolute rule in this world outside the dungeon.
With that she then sent a clone first to test the water, as she witnessed how Axel blew up her head. For the first time she was thankful of her quick wittedness.
Now that the test was over, it was then now time to attack and surprise Axel.
