"Sorry, we have to crash your party. We are—the White Clan, and we are here to do something important, so seat your asses down before we annihilate your heads!"
Quickly after they saw the White Clan, the cameras turned off quickly before they got killed by the man who spoke.
"Like I said, if anyone moves-?!" Suddenly, an arrow was fired toward him, but a huge and buff man protected him by grabbing it.
"Anonymous pay attain."
"I can't believe I have to say this, but thank you, Steel."
Anonymous is tall, and people need to look up to see him. When looking at his face, they see a white fox mask with red dots covering his identity. A black glove on his right hand had a shiny blackish gem in the middle of the glove, and on his back was his sniper rifle inside of a case.
Once again, Excalibur fired an arrow at Anonymous, and Steel split it in half with one hand and said, "Anon, let me handle him."
"I guess I have to thank you, Steel."
"Hahaha, what's getting into you? You never thank me, but today, you said it twice, so never say it next time. Makes me creep out from hearing it from you."
"Whatever, it's not like I wanted to say it again. Anyway, stop talking and fight the S-ranker."
"If the boss says to follow your orders, then I have to."
Steel wears a torn tuxedo, showing his six-packs to impress ladies, but he fails. Women don't like him, but only one woman wants him, but not for the reason that he thinks. He wears sunglasses inside and outside of places to avoid getting blinded by the sun and the lights inside.
He looks at Excalibur and says, "Are the famous S-ranked archer, Excalibur? Or was I mistaken for someone else?"
"If you know my name and rank, you should know you can not defeat me without help."
Steel grinned when he heard what his opponent said and replied, "To think your enemy can't defeat you with help is sad; I will destroy your confidence without getting help from anyone. Let's see if your words are true or if you are talking."
His muscles got beefier after he finished talking and charging at Excalibur with his fists. The archer, however, avoided the attack by doing a backflip and then firing his bow after landing.
The target wasn't Steel but Anonymous because Excalibur knew he should stop him instead of fighting with Steel. Like others, Steel got its way; it hit him.
"You are fighting me, not that fucker!"
He removed the arrow from his beefy body without fleeing pain, snapping it in half, and Excalibur fired multiple arrows at Steel by taking them out from the purple pouch.
His effects were getting wasted. His arrows weren't damaging Steel for a bit. The archer needed to do something else instead of endlessly firing his arrows until running out.
Slowly and slowly, Steel reached Excalibur and tautly said, "What happened, huh? You said I can't beat you without my friend's help, but you see, nobody is here to help me kill you! In the past, a girl of a lower rank than you said I couldn't defeat her alone, and guess what? She was right. I didn't even touch her with or without help. She could prove her actions. How about you? Are you all talk but no bite?"
Excalibur backed away from Steel every time he went closer to him while firing his arrows without getting through him.
While Excalibur was distracted by Steel, Anonymous easily grabbed the host to get information about the president of the 9-hour show.
"Please release me! I have a family at home!"
Anonymous smiled and said, "Okay," and released the host. After getting free, he quickly ran, but before he could go far, a woman's voice said, "Thunder Clap!"
The host's limbs suddenly stopped moving, falling to the ground, and he asked, "Huh? What did you do to my body?" He was sweating bullets and tried to move again, but his limbs felt freezing in place.
"This woman behind you uses her power on you."
"Diamond, you are late." Diamond was the woman on the speaker talking to Ross in the hospital.
Her blue eyes were the prettiest to look at, seeing the ocean in them, and her lush blond hair made her look different.
"Tsk... You sent me to paralyze people in here not to let them escape, and now you are asking me why I'm running late."
"Sorry, I thought you were watching those screaming cartoons from Japan."
She shook her head back and forth and said, "Really, you thought I was watching anime time like this?"
"Let's do our mission, Diamond."
"Now then, tell me, where is the president?" Grabbing the host's collar while dragging him, forming injuries.
***
Going back to the fight, Steel activated "Guerrilla Style: Guerrilla's Fists," After reaching closer to Excalibur, Steel's punches become even stronger, and he gains extra hairs on his arms.
Steel's punch broke the archer's right arm like a tree twig and said, "Oh, wow. How are you, S-ranker? If this is how easy it is, then I will be S-rank in no time. But that doesn't matter. You die regardless!"
He was breaking Excalibur's other arm when he was about to grab an arrow, dropping the bow and arrow in his hand. Steel threw the pouch farther away from him and the enemy.
He grabbed the S-ranked archer's neck with his hand and said, "How disappointing. You were only a talk!" Throwing his head into the ground, killing Excalibur.
"Now he's dead. It's time to he-?! Huh?" Excalbur's body started glitching, shouting errors loudly and constantly until it vanished.
Excalibur's laugh echoed in the room, and after he finished laughing, he said, "Don't be disappointed. It's too easy to be killed like that, mate."
"Stop hiding and come face me with your real self if it's too easy for you."
The archer replied, "This is why I said nobody can defeat me one-on-one because I do not play fair. But honestly, my clones are weak and stupid without me commanding them! So, what will you do with that information, you dumb terrorist?!"
Steel got mad at the comment, "dumb terrorist," and yelled, "Tsk! I hate people like you the most! Thinking I am stupid because I have these muscles! No matter how often you send me your clones, I will destroy them repeatedly!"
Excalibur replied with claps and said, "Please, you wouldn't have a chance to know which one is a clone. That's why I called you stupid. But if you are that confident, let's play a game. How many clones of mine can you destroy before you can't anymore?!"
Excalibur's bow, "King Arthur," is a legendary bow that can fuse any regular arrow with Flow Energy, giving them special powers, like cloning the archer.
He puts an arrow in the bow, and it transforms the regular arrow into a clone arrow when it gets fired, creating fake versions of himself and his weapon.
After thirty clones were created, the archer fired another arrow simultaneously with his fake versions of himself. Steel couldn't tell which was real or fake while getting hit, so he decided, "Bat Style: Echolocation!"
His ears become like bats, and he has the ability of echolocation, making him hear the sounds of where the projectiles are coming from. In total darkness, Steel then closes his eyes, seeing nothing but the sounds of the arrows coming at him and the sounds of the bows firing.
"Now I know where you are, archer!" Grabbing the arrows near his body, breaking them into pieces, and a few projectiles, Steel flings at the sound of a bow getting fired, killing a few clones.
Steel smirked when he noticed one of the sounds differed from the others.
'Cheetah Style: Cheetha's Legs!'
Steel now opens his eyes when the bat ears transform into normal human ears, making the end echolocation. However, his legs transformed into cheetah, gaining the animal's speed. He went into all fours like a wild animal.
He is destroying the clones, getting his way from getting toward Excalibur. He jumps up when close to the archer, switching his cheetah legs into gorilla fists.
After landing on the ground, he punches Excalibur, and the S-ranker sees the attack coming, so he avoids it by jumping out of the way.
Steel wasn't that dumb; he knew what his opponent would do, so another punch went into Excalbur's face, smashing him into the ground.
"Look who is the dumb one, now!"
"Now, any last words, archer?"
Steel grabbed his opponent's neck, noticing he's not a clone when he's not glitching when getting hit. He sees Excablur's smile, making Steel angry.
"Stop smiling, you are dead!"
Excalibur said something, making Steel giggle and say, "You are the one who–?!"
From behind, a dagger stabbed him, making him drop Excalibur. He yelled, "Y-you mother f-fucker!"
The wound opened, causing blood to drop to the ground, forming a blood puddle.
"T-t-thank you. If you were one second late, I would have become into the soul by now."
The person who stabbed Steel was the S-rank investigator Merlin, and he said, "Remember my face and name, you murderer before you die! I, Merlin, will kill you."
'Why does his name seem familiar? Stop worrying about past Steel, and remember you a device to escape.'
He grabs a big red button and smashes it before the police can do anything to him, and vanishes into thin air after.
To be continued.
