Hazuki and Urek Mazino are currently in the Kamui dimension. Just now, Hazuki made the wish to transport him outside of the Tower.
Hazuki is already outside of the Tower but due to him entering the Kamui dimension, he can't be seen outside.
"Huh? Now, where is the 'outside of the Tower'?" Urek Mazino was observing the Kamui dimension. 'This is a personal space? Cool. I wouldn't need a high-rank pocket if I had something like this.'
"We're already outside, Urek. Once we exit this personal Dimension, you can personally see the doors of the Tower." Hazuki chuckled as a vortex absorbed him and Urek.
The next moment, Urek Mazino found himself in a very unfamiliar place. The skies were glittering with iridescent light and Urek couldn't feel the presence of Shinsu in the air.
'Those...! Those are stars...!!' Urek Mazino was shocked as he saw the stars glittering in the skies. Because it's common knowledge in the Tower that the stars are only legends. Only the Irregulars know about the existence of these heavenly bodies since the skies in the Tower was only a limitation created by Shinsu. And of course, Urek could breathe even without the Shinsu in the air since he was a resident of the outside world, to begin with.
He looked around in excitement but he was stunned since they are currently in an asteroid slowly drifting in the outer space.
Of course, Urek Mazino noticed the giant doors with a 'Tower' design in the middle. 'Is... this the doors of the Tower?' Urek wondered.
When he entered the Tower, he didn't see such a door since he unconsciously entered the Tower. But now that he saw it, Urek couldn't help but evaluate the Tower once again 'Heh, the Tower is indeed too small compared to this vast Universe! The Outside world really is the best!'
"Wait, now that I think about it, where are we?!" Urek Mazino shouted in panic. If they couldn't get away from this place, then what's the point of getting out?!
Hazuki nearly scoffed as he saw 'the strongest man in the Tower' panic when he is in an unknown place. 'Truly, we humans couldn't get away from the fear of the unknown...'
"This is the 'Outside of the Tower'. Didn't you say you want to exit?" Hazuki said with an 'obviously' kind of expression.
"I mean, where is my homeworld?! The beautiful sceneries and women?!" Urek Mazino replied. His expression is already nearing the point of pleading. His thoughts were like: 'If I couldn't even get back to my world after exiting the Tower... What am I supposed to do...? Do I really have to clear this goddamn Tower?'
Hazuki pointed at three directions far in the distance. One upfront, to his left side, and slightly down below. "Those are the three worlds where I can sense the living atmosphere. Can you recognize your planet among them?" Hazuki asked.
Urek Mazino was enlightened and he observed each planet with great ardor. The first planet Hazuki pointed at is a planet that looks the same as earth. It has the same blue hue from above and continents were plastered across its surface.
The second planet looks a bit weird for Hazuki since its multi-colored. Blue, Green, Red, Brown, and Gray places could be observed on its surface. Hazuki could feel that this planet has the most population among the three planets. It's also the largest since Hazuki could feel that its aura was very far away, but its size still remained large in his sight.
The last planet is the most interesting one among them according to Hazuki. The whole planet is covered by land but there were a few large 'lakes' that could be regarded as oceans in it. Even from this place, Hazuki could feel that this place is the most primitive among them all since it emits an ancient aura, similar to those old treasures from Nie Li's world.
After a few seconds of observing, Urek unhesitatingly pointed at the 2nd planet, the largest planet among them all. "That's it! That's my homeworld! I'm sure of it!"
Looks like Urek's planet is quite advanced since he recognized it in a single glance. Knowing a planet's appearance would only be possible if they saw a picture of it or it's characteristics.
After that, Urek suddenly gazed at Hazuki like he's the former's father.
"Bro, please help me return there, please?" Urek is already pleading Hazuki while acting submissive, by the Tower's residents' standards. But for Hazuki, Urek was literally acting cute just to have this favor granted.
'F*ck, this guy... Haha!' Hazuki cracked up after seeing Urek's state. Who would've thought that the prideful, overconfident, and narcissist 3rd-ranker of the Tower would act like this?
Hazuki extended his hand to Urek, asking for the conditions of the deal.
Of course, Urek knew what he's asking for and he immediately replied. "Bro, can we settle this after we go back to the Tower? It feels quite weird if we were to finish the deal here..."
"Fine." Hazuki agreed. "Do you want to go back to the Tower first? If so, then you can touch that door and inject Shinsu to it." Hazuki continued.
He already knew the mechanism of that door. Injecting Shinsu to it would cause the doors to open and the Tower would welcome you. Of course, this method is unknown since no one knew where the doors really are. And even if they knew where it was, they wouldn't be able to enter easily since there's no Shinsu outside of the Tower.
Urek immediately tried what Hazuki said and he jogged towards the door. He pressed his palm into the doors and he injected Shinsu into it.
Suddenly, the doors of the Tower opened. Urek Mazino's figure was shrouded by intense golden light and he disappeared along with the golden light.
Hazuki then did the same and after he came to his senses, he was already back in a familiar space, Headon's floor.
Urek Mazino was beside him, staring at his surroundings. "Really... It really is the doors of the Tower..."
"Why are you here again?! And you even brought Urek Mazino with you!" Headon's shout resounded throughout the area.
Well, since Hazuki knew how to operate the doors, that must also mean that he tried it himself.
He also entered the Tower through here at that time and Headon even tried to greet him, expecting an Irregular again. But he's wrong since Hazuki is the person who entered.
As he saw that, Headon was shocked. 'I definitely felt the doors opening by themselves! How could it be them?!'
Headon was sure that an Irregular entered the Tower but he didn't expect to see them. 'How could this be?! I would've believed it if it was only once, but this is already his second time coming here through the doors! That feeling was definitely not wrong so how!'
"Yo, Headon. Are you overjoyed by my presence that much?" Hazuki said.
Headon doesn't want to get dragged into Hazuki's pace so he 'politely' said. "Master Hazuki, please don't mind me. You can go now together with Urek Mazino."
"Hey, Headon. Why did you call me directly by my name? Shouldn't you call me, 'Lord Urek'?" Urek said narcissistically.
A vein popped on Headon's head but he didn't reply. "I will send you up now, Master Hazuki."
*Tap* *Tap* Headon tapped his staff twice then Hazuki and Urek disappeared from the floor.
"How could this be happening?! What if that Hazuki really found a way out of the Tower?!" Headon finally burst out in terror after he sent Hazuki and Urek above.
If that really is true, then Headon fears for his life. Only an 'Axis' has such power to exit the Tower by his will. After all, they can even rewrite their world. So how could something as simple as exiting the Tower be a problem for them? 'No, no, no!'
The next moment they came to, Hazuki and Urek were already on the floor of tests.
Urek already believes in Hazuki and his view of him also changed from 'Baby Irregular' to a Bonafide Irregular. After all, he already experienced Hazuki's wonders and such an Irregular is worthy of his respect. Heck, even if he had to beg just to get out of the Tower, he would do it gladly rather than stay inside for an indefinite amount of time.
Urek glanced at the Regulars currently taking the test and smirked. He already saw quite a few beautiful ladies and he nearly sprang to save them from getting injured. Fortunately, Hazuki stopped him on time.
Hazuki facepalmed as he observed Urek getting allured by beautiful Regulars. 'Hey, hey! Even if you're a playboy, there should still be limits, right?!'
"What are you doing?" Hazuki asked as he grabbed Urek's shoulder, preventing him from interfering.
"Of course, I'm going to save them! I don't know why, but everywhere I go, there would be beautiful women in danger. Am I really destined to be every beautiful woman's hero?" Urek said, overflowing with narcissism. His face was quite serious, and Hazuki doesn't know if he is only jesting or he was totally serious about it.
Hazuki just shook his head and created a portal connecting to Wolhaiksong's Floating Palace. A dark violet-colored vortex appeared beside them.
Hazuki was currently holding onto Urek's shoulder. So he grabbed this chance and threw the latter inside the Portal. The process went easily and Urek didn't even resist. Well, more like he couldn't resist since he's stunned about Hazuki's strength. Due to this, he started to think seriously about Hazuki and he totally forgot to resist.
Hazuki followed after him and both of them returned to the Floating Palace. Urek was there, seated on the ground with his hand placed on his chin. He was contemplating about the things he went through just a few minutes ago.
Baek Ryun immediately went to Urek and asked. "Urek, what happened? Is he really deceiving us?"While Baek Ryun is asking Urek, Hazuki went back to his seat.
Yuri and Evan were also surrounding Urek since they were very curious about the outside world.
Right now, they still can't go to the outside world since Hazuki's business in the Tower is still not done. They knew that it would only take a few months at most but they couldn't hold their curiosity since Urek already saw it.
Urek woke up from his contemplation then he looked at Baek Ryun seriously. "No, it's true, Baek Ryun. We really went outside of the Tower. Heck, I even saw the doors of the Tower and entered it for the second time."
"Really?!" Baek Ryun's face revealed joy. His dreams about exiting the Tower is finally going to be fulfilled!
Baek Ryun held Urek's shoulders and asked excitedly. "How was the scenery outside of the Tower?! Are they still the same as how you told me in the past?! How about the Tower's doors? Are they really as majestic as the legends told it to be?!"
"Yeah, yeah! Describe it to us detailedly!" Yuri said as she shook Urek's shoulders violently.
"Wait, wait! One question at a time, okay!? And Yuri, stop shaking my body! It feels uncomfortable as f*ck!" Urek shouted as he stood up.
Baek Ryun calmed a little bit but he still eagerly waited for Urek's answers.
Yuri stood impatiently on the side while Evan was calmer than the other two. Well, he's calmer since he thought that being so excited over it when they would eventually reach it would seem immature.
"Okay, as I said, we really did exit the Tower." Urek stated. "But we literally exited and we arrived at the Doors of the Tower."
"Then how was it like?" Baek Ryun asked.
"The Tower's doors are really simple-looking. It's a giant double door made out of an unknown element. Wait, why am I describing its appearance? Just wait, you'll see it for yourself soon since its appearance is not important if we already exited the Tower." Urek replied.
"Fine. But how does the outside world look like currently? Are the stars still shining in the skies? How about your empire? Is it still standing strongly like Jahad's Empire?"
"There are still stars in the skies but I don't know what is happening in my homeworld. After all, the Tower's door is located in outer space, and it's embedded in a giant rock in the outer space called 'asteroid'. My homeworld is very far from that place and I can only see it from a distance." Urek replied.
Baek Ryun already knew about the 'outer space' since it's one of their previous discussion topics. He already knew most of the knowledge outside of the Tower and he only needs to see it now to know what it really is. "Then how can you go back? You said that outer space is a vacuum where there's no gravity. Furthermore, the outside world doesn't have Shinsu. How are we supposed to reach your homeworld?"
Yuri and Evan looked towards Hazuki and saw his smirk. 'Ah, this is no problem for that guy.' Then they lost all interest and went back to their seats.
"Don't worry about that, Baek Ryun. Bro Hazuki has a way to travel towards my homeworld." Urek replied with a smile. He only needs to fulfill his end of the deal and Hazuki would transport them to his homeworld.
Hearing Urek's words, Yuri's hand, which is holding a cup of tea, suddenly trembled. "What Bro Hazuki?! You're not going to be bro's with him, you damned creep! Who knows what kinds of fetishes you are going to infect Hazuki with!"
Ying Yueru laughed as she heard Yuri's overprotective words. She narrowed her eyes with satisfaction as she gazed at Yuri while sipping on her tea.
Urek let out an awkward laugh as he replied. "Yuri, you shouldn't tarnish my name like that in front of my Bro. He's already considered my Bro and he already consented to it, aren't you Bro?" He winked towards Hazuki, expressing his goodwill.
Hazuki chuckled since Yuri's threatening gaze is focused on his face. He didn't even meet her eyes as if avoiding her glance like a plague. "Hehe, you can say it that way."
His words sounded like he was reluctant so Yuri and Urek can only settle with it for now. He didn't openly agree and he also didn't disagree.
"By the way." Hazuki said as he implicitly extended his hand like he's asking for something.Urek knows what he wants and he said. "Bro, we can do this later privately. How about we go and enjoy ourselves for some time?"
"How about fighting me?" Hazuki recommended. He doesn't find anything amusing in the floor anymore. Well, maybe the whole Tower since he's already nearly finished in absorbing his fill of Shinsu. But he knows that he couldn't just leave since he still has one more agenda left other than filling his body with Shinsu.
Baek Ryun and Urek were stunned. They didn't expect to hear him asking Urek for a fight. After all, only a few people dare to fight against the top-rankers.
Well, even though Urek was surprised, he didn't brood on it too much and accepted. "Okay, where should we go?"
After all, he was also curious about Hazuki's strength. He wouldn't miss such a chance to find out more about Hazuki's abilities.
Hazuki contemplated for a few seconds before he replied. "We should do it in the 43rd-floor. After all, there's no floor guardian there and we could wreak havoc as much as we want as long as the living beings there wasn't affected."
As soon as he heard the fight venue, Urek's face fell. His face twisted into an awkward expression and he replied. "Bro, please not there."
Baek Ryun, beside him, also nodded repeatedly with a grim look.
"Why?" Hazuki asked insensitively.
Baek Ryun naturally wouldn't talk about it and he just stared at Urek, waiting for the person involved to explain.
Urek was hesitating whether or not to say his reason. After all, it would be shameful if Hazuki were to know it.
After a few seconds of silence, Hazuki finally realized Urek's reason. 'F*ck this memory! Why do I keep forgetting events?! Aren't my intelligence stat supposed to be high?!'
He scratched his chin wryly as he said. "Ah, so that's why. I understand you, Urek."
Urek and Baek Ryun was stunned once again. 'What did you exactly understand? No one knows about that event other than us, Yuri and Garam herself.'
"It's about Garam, right? You are afraid that she will really reject you once you set foot on that place." Hazuki said without remorse for Urek's dignity.
As expected, Urek's face twitched and he couldn't help but glance at Ying Yueru, who's chuckling at his predicament.
"Damn it! Bro, can you not expose my secrets in front of others?" Urek said.
Hazuki laughed as he replied. "Haha, okay. But we will still fight there."
Urek was stunned and he couldn't help but get slightly annoyed. 'You already understood why I don't wanna fight there but you still wanna go?! Bro, do you really want to curse my love life?!'
"But don't worry, we won't enter the floor of death. We will do the spar outside." Hazuki stated.
Urek thought about it and he still wasn't going to agree with it. After all, Garam would still be able to perceive the battle that will happen atop the floor of death.
Suddenly, Urek's eyes sparkled and he suggested vehemently. "Bro, you have that personal space, right?! Why don't we just spar there?!"
Hazuki immediately denied it. "No! That place is too brittle and that space would be wreaked once we fought there."
"But..." 'But we're really not going to fight to that magnitude, right?'
Even though Urek was sure that Hazuki is strong, he was still confident about his own strength. If what Hazuki displayed earlier is his strength then Urek would have no problem keeping the Kamui dimension safe from the impact of their attacks.
"You are confident to beat me without causing that much havoc?" After saying this, Hazuki, Ying Yueru, Yuri, and Evan all laughed.
Yuri thought, 'Hehe, yeah fight to your heart's content and beat the sh*t out of that creep!' Then she added. "Urek, why don't you agree to the fight on the floor of death? If Garam really appeared then I would clear your name and say that you don't have a choice since Hazuki chose that place."
Urek's eyes gleamed and he said. "Really, Yuri?!" If Yuri really does then he would agree. After all, Yuri is a Jahad's Princess and she's quite close to Garam herself. (This was not the case on the original comic. In the original, Yuri only met Garam on the floor of death arc.)
"Yeah, so don't be an ass and receive the beating..." Yuri mumbled evilly.
Of course, Urek heard her words with a tinge of malevolence and he couldn't help but feel a chill down his spine. He decided to ignore Yuri's intentions for now and he asked Hazuki. "So Bro, are we going to go now?"
"Of course." Hazuki nodded. Then he stared at Ying Yueru, Yuri, Evan, and Baek Ryun. "Are you all gonna watch?"
"Of course! How is this creep going to explain himself without me?" Yuri said.Ying Yueru, Evan, and Baek Ryun nodded, approving of Yuri's statement.
"Okay then, let's go!" Hazuki then opened a portal directly towards the 43rd-floor.
For Hazuki, 43rd-floor is the easiest to locate since that place has no Floor Guardian. The Shinsu there is free and Hazuki couldn't feel the slightest sense of 'identity' on the Shinsu in the air. It's like the place is a completely different section of the Tower.
The same dark violet-colored portal appeared in front of Hazuki.
Urek already noticed Hazuki's rinnegan but he didn't ask about it. But now that he saw it once again, he couldn't hold his curiosity anymore. Baek Ryun also seems to be curious in the Rinnegan, focusing his gaze on it for a long time.
"Bro, that cool-looking eyes, does it do what I think it does?" Urek asked carelessly. If it were anyone in the Tower, they wouldn't dare ask something like that. After all, a unique ability is a life-saving opportunity. If your opponents knew about it then it might be countered, worse it might even be rendered useless.
Yuri and Evan already knew about it since a month ago. They were always teleporting towards the next floor so it would be impossible for them not to notice something so obvious.
That time, when they heard about the abilities of his Rinnegan, Yuri and Evan wondered. 'Hey, hey! That's a bloodline ability?! Anyone in his family has that?! Just what kind of prestigious family did he come from?! With that kind of bloodline ability, Hazuki's clan should be one of the overlords in their realm!'
Well, they got used to the shock and they recovered in just a minute, staring at Hazuki with an 'as expected' kind of expression.
Hazuki doesn't really mind telling them since they will see that more in the future. So what's the point in hiding it? Keeping them in suspense?
"Yeah, these eyes do have teleportation abilities." Hazuki replied to Urek. Well, Urek only asked if Rinnegan is a teleportation ability. So Hazuki wouldn't go so far as to tell all of its abilities.
"Cool! Is that a unique ability? Or some kind of inheritance?" Urek asked. He thought that maybe, Rinnegan is a unique ability that manifested on Hazuki. He also thought that it's some kind of Inheritance like the Essence of Bravery from a High-ranker in Jahad's Army.
"Nah, it's a bloodline ability." Hazuki replied. All of them were already flying on the air of the 43rd-floor.
Looking down, Hazuki could see the blood-red water. Numerous stalactite-shaped rocks could be seen below and other than those two, nothing else could be observed around.
Peering even more downwards, Hazuki could feel that it's hollow like there's some kind of otherworld located below.
Of course, that place is the real 43rd-floor. But Hazuki and the others wouldn't enter it since they don't really have business inside. Moreover, most of them don't really care since it would just be a waste of time entering.
"Really? Then your family should be badasses too, right?" Urek muttered with a slightly lost look, thinking about his clan outside of the Tower.
"Not really. Most of them wouldn't be able to awaken this kind of eyes. But still, the clan origin of these eyes are indeed powerful." Hazuki said.
"So, shall we start now?" He added with a grin on his face.
"Yeah, let's do it!" Urek grinned back. His eyes were ignited with an unusual fighting spirit.
Though he's confident about his capabilities, Urek couldn't help but be curious about Hazuki's combat power. Earlier, he did sense danger in Hazuki. But he brushed it off since he's confident that no one in the Tower could beat him. Even Jahad can only fight Urek to a stalemate. Well, that's a given since fighting with their best abilities could be disastrous for the Tower.Phantaminum and Enryu are not included since their location is unknown.
"Okay! But before that, I need to erect a barrier around our spectators first." Hazuki then manipulated his Heavenly Chakra and created a rectangular barrier around Ying Yueru and the others.
Ying Yueru and the others were located high up in the skies. At that place, they can observe the battle more keenly.
Baek Ryun almost disagreed and wanted to come out of the barrier. But before he could do so, he was already trapped inside Hazuki's barrier.
Baek Ryun knocked on it a few times but he couldn't hear a single colliding sound. As if the barrier is ethereal and couldn't be affected by outside forces.
Baek Ryun injected his Shinsu on it, attempting to create a needle-like hole on the barrier. But his Shinsu disappeared on contact with the barrier. He was shocked and he tried to peer on it more but he couldn't understand how the barrier works. 'Is this an unknown lighthouse technique? But he didn't even use a lighthouse... Moreover, when I probed it earlier, Shinsu doesn't seem to be the energy used to create it... An unknown eye bloodline and strange energy... Just how many secrets are you hiding...?'
Ying Yueru, Yuri, and Evan just stood there quietly, waiting for the fight to start. Well, the fight is indeed something that would be considered a big fight even though it's just a spar considering that Urek and another Irregular is involved in it.
Hazuki and Urek stood on the opposite side of each other, approximately a hundred meters is separating them.
Hazuki and Urek were grinning to each other, obviously excited in the upcoming fight.
"You ready, Bro? Be careful since my fists are quite heavy, you know?" Urek taunted as he cracked his knuckles.
"Don't worry about that, Urek. On the other hand, you should be alert since I don't know if I could control my power to your level." Hazuki replied with his own taunt.
Taunting in a friendly fight appears to be a way to raise a person's fighting spirit. Taunting creates an exciting feeling on the fighters' mind, pumping them with adrenaline.
"Then here goes nothing...!" Urek punched in front of him.
*Boom!* The powerful wind pressure alone uprooted the area ahead of him. The wind pressure continued towards Hazuki and in just a blink of an eye, Hazuki's figure was struck by the wind pressure.
*Boom!* The wind pressure suddenly scattered as if it collided with a sturdy wall. The impact of the collision spread in a cone behind Hazuki but its power seems to have dispersed as it struck Hazuki since the destruction stopped just 10 meters, approximately, from Hazuki's spot.
Smoke rose up in the skies, covering Hazuki's figure inside.
The area in front of them, which is covered in stalactite-shaped rocks disappeared. It was completely eradicated and the blood-red water occupied the surrounding space.
Baek Ryun sighed as he thought that the battle might be cut short. After all, almost no one escaped unscathed after receiving Urek's strike.
He looked beside him and saw that everyone around doesn't seem to care and were continuing to watch.
He looked back at the site and saw Hazuki's figure emerging from the smoke, unscathed. Even the hem of his clothes wasn't dirtied or torn. His hair was still arranged and no abnormality could be seen on him.
Well, how could you sense an abnormality in an abnormal person?
'By the power behind the strike, Urek should have already used 5% of his power... He took that head-on and didn't even seem to be fazed...? It looks like we're wrong about evaluating him! He's more powerful than we thought he is!' Baek Ryun thought as he stared solemnly at Hazuki's figure.
Even Urek was surprised after seeing him unfazed. He rarely uses strength more than 1%, but if he does, then the opponent receiving it would immediately be overpowered. He already used 5% but Hazuki was still standing without getting dirtied of disordered. 'Since he took that head-on without visible damage then his defenses would be exponentially higher if he defended... Hmm... Yosh! Let's try 15% for now!'
"That's quite a surprise, Bro. It didn't think that you're this strong. I thought that your main ability is those bizarre techniques, teleportation, or whatever but it seems like I was wrong." This is really what Urek is thinking. He heard about him coming to a stalemate against 3 of the top-rankers in the 30th-floor. But Urek also heard that the 3 top-rankers are at a disadvantage since the floor guardian seems to be assisting Hazuki. Moreover, the news he received didn't state that they fought for a long period of time. They only clashed once then the Top-rankers retreated because of the disadvantageous position.
Seeing that news, Urek was sure that Hazuki was able to resist them because of those Bizarre techniques. His earlier strike was intended to probe Hazuki's powers so he didn't expect to see the latter endure it head-on.
"Heh, you underestimate me too much. Did you really think that my strength wouldn't surpass yours as I entered the Tower? Then I'm going to show a portion of my true power. Urek, imprint this power in your mind so you may never lose motivation about getting stronger!" Hazuki shouted with a grin overflowing with battle intent.
With that said, Hazuki released a portion of his power. His aura, which he held in all the time, is now unleashed.
*Boom!* Hazuki's surroundings immediately turned chaotic. The Shinsu, which is laying dormant everywhere, suddenly went berserk along with Hazuki's aura.
Different phenomenons occurred around Hazuki. The Surrounding Shinsu gathered to Hazuki, Streaks of Lightning, and Rampaging flames intertwined with each other creating a dangerous phenomenon that can turn someone to dust once it touched them. The overwhelming pressure was so suffocating that the floor seems to be creaking everywhere, unable to bear the pressure of Hazuki's aura.
Ying Yueru and the others inside the barrier could only slightly feel it. But the feeling made them so uncomfortable and suffocated.
Yuri, Evan, and Baek Ryun stared at Hazuki wide-eyed. This is because this was the first time they saw Hazuki like this. In the past few months of staying with them, Yuri and Evan never saw something like this leaking out of Hazuki.
He always seems to be laid back and calm, without a hint of dangerous aura around him but Yuri knew that Hazuki is powerful then. But now, this is outright insane! They couldn't understand how could Hazuki control that massive power to the point that not even a hint of it could be felt? They shivered as the thought entered their mind.
"So, are you still confident about beating me?" Hazuki calmly said towards the dumbstruck Urek. Urek gradually woke up from his trance but he still couldn't remove the shock in his face. 'This power is insane! Is this his real power?! He could totally go toe-to-toe with every family leader with this!'
Urek shook his head, attempting to remove the unnecessary thoughts in his mind. Right now, he couldn't afford to think about useless things like that. The only thing on his mind should be 'How to defeat the adversary in front of him'.
"Bro, you really are great! I didn't expect that someone would be able to make me feel shocked like this! After all, I already accepted the fact long ago that the only person who could shock me is myself." Urek said narcissistically. Even in front of great power, he didn't back out. On the contrary, he even looked excited.
Well, that might also be natural since Urek hasn't fought anyone with more than 5% of his power after clearing the Tower. Seeing a rare chance to stretch his body a bit, Urek couldn't help being excited.
"But Bro, are you sure you want to cut short the warm-up like that? You know, you might 'injure' yourself like that..." Urek said with a hint of insinuation in his voice.
Hazuki chuckled as he really liked Urek's character even though he's narcissistic and overconfident. "Oh, you're right! How did you know that I'm the only one capable of injuring myself?" He said with a taunting grin.
Of course, Urek grinned back and both of them suddenly disappeared from their place.
*Boom!!!* Suddenly, a very powerful explosion shook the whole floor. Even the residents of the floor of death were shooked and all of them fell down to their butts. They couldn't resist the power of the tremors going around the floor.
Hazuki and Urek's clash was so powerful, powerful to the point that everything around them immediately disintegrated the moment the impact from their collision spread.
The flat sea was destroyed, leaving a large gaping hole leading directly to the floor of death. The abyss-like hole was almost 3 kilometers in length and the depth of it was unknown.
*Boom!!* *Boom!!* *Boom!!* Consecutive shockwaves shook the Floor vigorously. Almost every resident below were praying for their lives since they could feel that the 'Floor of death' is collapsing.
Ying Yueru and the others couldn't even see what is happening anymore. All they could see is the destruction they caused everywhere they clashed.
The sea was devastated, leaving many gaping holes on the ground. But Hazuki and Urek were still continuing.
Suddenly, Ying Yueru and the others spotted Hazuki and Urek being thrown back due to the power of their strikes.
*Shing* On Urek's hands, two blue-colored Shinsu appeared. It is very thin and it looked like lightning held on Urek's hand.
Suddenly, he threw is towards Hazuki.
*Boom!* The Shinsu on his hand suddenly released a light-speed projectile that Struck Hazuki directly. The blue string of light shone brightly on the devastated battlefield.
Fortunately, Hazuki crossed his hands before the 'Ray' even hit him. Well, it doesn't really pose that much threat to him since it would only pierce his clothes and drill into his skin. But Hazuki prefers to leave his clothes intact in a battle. The only battle where he decides to let go of his clothes is against Ying Yueru.
*Boom!* The Shinsu 'Ray' struck Hazuki on his arms and he shot backward due to the strength behind it.
The residual impact also created a bomb-like explosion around the area, collapsing the ground in just a single hit.
A second later, Hazuki's figure shot out of the smoke. His clothes were still intact and a drop of blood could be seen flowing on his arm. Of course, the amount is only minimal and at most, it would be a few drops. Nevertheless, a wound is still a wound.
Seeing himself bleed, Hazuki grinned even more widely. If he wanted to, he could have nullified the strength of that Shinsu attack but he didn't. Hazuki wants a battle that could satisfy him after a few months of laying dormant.
As he was flying backward, Hazuki saw Urek stopping himself and dashed towards him.
Hazuki also stopped his flight and stabilized himself. On his hands, a ball tinted with Blue-colored energy appeared. This attack is entirely made of Shinsu since Hazuki thought he'd be cheating if he used Heavenly Chakra.
He even stopped circulating most of it and left a few moving, effectively restricting most of his strength.
On Hazuki's hand, the same 'Ray' appeared and he threw it back towards Urek.
The latter was shocked since he saw Hazuki copying the technique he's known for, the 'Ray'. His sobriquet 'Ray Barracuda' was also derived from it.
*Boom!* The 'Ray' struck Urek but it didn't make any visible damage to the latter. His clothes were destroyed in the process and the skin around his arms was burnt.
Well, that's obvious since Hazuki can only copy the elementary mechanics of the 'Ray'. He didn't really copy the whole thing and it still needs massive improvement. Also, the God Ki attribute of his Ultra instinct interfered with the formation of the 'Ray' causing it to have an unusual heat.
Right now, the battlefield is devastated--- I mean, the whole floor is devastated by their battle. Hazuki's 'Ray' didn't do much damage. But it still contributed to the destruction of the upper layer of the Floor of death.
Urek stabilized himself and stared at Hazuki, who didn't follow-up his attack. Both of them were a few kilometers away from each other but they could reach each other in a matter of a second with that distance.
With his Shinsu enhanced voice, Urek shouted. "What's this, Bro?! You saw that your attacks weren't affecting me so you resorted to attacking me with my signature moves?! Well, even though it's petty, I think that you made the right choice! Haha!"
Hazuki was really enjoying the fight even though he couldn't fully unleash his power, which is slightly uncomfortable to him.
"Okay! Continue attacking me with your personal Shinsu control techniques and I will try to 'injure' you with them!" Hazuki shouted back with a smirk. It's obvious that he's trying to learn all of the attacks that Urek will throw at him.
Hearing his reply, Urek grinned. He already knows that Hazuki might be able to copy them. but, who the f*ck cares?! As long as he's enjoying the fight then he wouldn't mind since he wasn't really directly teaching Hazuki!
At the moment, a figure shot out of the 'Floor of death'. The figure is wearing a light-gray coat with black-tights and blue shoes. Though her head was covered by the hoodie section of the coat, her light-blue hair could still be seen. And it's obvious that she's in a hurry since her figure seems to be tensed. (Ding, Ding! You're right! I referred to the Wiki about the description of her appearance! Well, if some author knows how to describe things then it should've been easier!)
The figure scanned around the area and saw the two massive aura's leaking with enormous amounts of Shinsu pressure.
As he looked at Hazuki's battle-crazed grin, she was stunned. 'He's here?! Could it be... That Jahad predicted that he will go here in the 43rd-floor, which has no rules and weak Shinsu, then initiated an ambush?! Then the person he's fighting should be a family leader-level Ranker!' Garam's thoughts are quite normal since Hazuki's face is already known by all of the dominant forces so how could she not know when she even knows secrets that no one knows?
If Hazuki is really being hunted by a family leader, then Garam's whereabouts might get revealed. 'But I didn't receive information about such a movement from Sir Gustang...!'
Then he looked towards the other person leaking the aura. As she saw the person, she was stunned.
After getting stunned, her expression immediately turned into anger. "Urek!!! How dare you set foot in this place again?! Moreover, how dare you cause such a commotion in here?! Get the f*ck out of here now and never show your face in my sight again!!"
She didn't notice that it was Urek since his aura is currently in disorder after getting struck by Hazuki's chaotic aura. Hazuki's chaotic aura served as a concealing device as it covered Urek's aura on its own.
Hearing the anger-filled voice, Urek was shocked. He immediately turned his gaze towards the voice and pleaded. "Garam, please no! I never went here voluntarily! I was forced okay?! Can't you see the 'Injury' around my arms?!" Then he showed the injury caused by Hazuki's 'Ray'.
Hazuki nearly laughed out loud after hearing the narcissistic and overconfident Urek pleading on a woman. 'This Urek, he might seem frivolous but he really does love that woman named Garam...'
Seeing his pleading look and Injured arms, Garam slightly calmed down and she replied with anger still on her voice. "Bullsh*t! You're forced?! You should be on the 77th-floor! It's already obvious that you're sneaking around on this floor even though I forbid you from ever coming near here!"
Garam thought that Urek was trying to sneakily enter the floor then he encountered the Irregular, Hazuki, which led to them fighting against each other.
Urek paled as he heard her words. He immediately looked up towards Yuri and pleaded with his gaze.
Of course, his actions were noticed by Garam, who also looked up to see where he's looking at. As she did so, her gaze collided with a brown-red haired woman. She also saw that Baek Ryun, Yuri, and Evan are beside that woman.
Baek Ryun and Evan are also looking at her while Yuri's face seems to be mocking Urek, who's looking at him pleadingly.
At this moment, she finally realized that she might've really misunderstood Urek. I mean, if he's really sneaking around the floor. why would he bring them with him? Would the head of Wolhaiksong, Baek Ryun, waste his time sneaking around a floor with Urek? That would be impossible.
She gradually calmed down and looked at Urek tiredly. "Explain."
Urek's eyes sparkled and he nodded like a chick. "You see, that person there is my new Bro, Hazuki. He really wants to spar with me but there's no other place that could accommodate our presences without being monitored."
"So you suggested going here?! You bastard!! How dare you wreak my hideout just because of a simple fr*cking spar?!" Garam didn't let Urek finish and she immediately snarled at him.
Urek sweated and he immediately resumed his explanation. "Don't misunderstand, Garam! It's not me who suggested fighting here, it's him!" Urek pointed at Hazuki.
"My Bro suggested fighting here!" Urek added.
"And you readily agreed?! Looks like you aren't taking my warnings seriously, Mr. Urek." Garam said calmly but anger was burning in her eyes.
Urek knows that he doesn't have a way out so he could only stare at Hazuki and Yuri pleadingly, hoping to have them assist him to escape his predicament.
Hazuki laughed out loud and moved instantaneously beside Urek. As he did so, he grabbed the man and teleported in front of Garam.
"Hih!" Urek hid behind Hazuki, trying to avoid Garam's anger-filled eyes. Her stare is hurting him and he's thinking. 'I'm doomed! I'm doomed! My love life is seriously doomed! If Garam says that she never wants to see me again, what am I supposed to do!?'
Garam then shifted her gaze from Urek to Hazuki. Seeing him up close, Garam couldn't help but feel fear. The aura he's emitting right now is so suffocating and she immediately protected herself by flaring her own aura.
But it's no use since she's gradually getting overpowered. The matter only took a few seconds and Hazuki finally noticed.
"Oh, I'm very sorry Miss Garam!" Hazuki said as he immediately withdrew his aura. Of course, Hazuki didn't bow.
Feeling the aura disappear, Garam couldn't help but observe Hazuki more closely. 'That powerful aura... completely disappeared...? How is that possible? I couldn't even feel a hint of it now...!' She steeled herself and asked through gritted teeth. "Why do you have to choose this place? This place is already desolate so why destroy it even further?"
Hazuki scratched his chin and chuckled. "Don't worry about the place, Miss Garam. I could restore the place to its previous state in just a few seconds. Also, my Bro, Urek, was really forced by me. You see Baek Ryun there?" Hazuki pointed above, at Baek Ryun.
"I also took him with us since he might help in clearing Urek's name if you really came." Hazuki said, covering after Urek.
