Volts questioned Akira's motives because he had sacrificed himself for him.
Akira explained why, but he didn't fully understand.
Akira knelt and healed his wounds. Volts was taken aback because he had assumed his abilities were blood magic, yet, he was capable to heal himself at such a rapid rate.
As his bones began to organize, his flesh began to join together. Akira groaned as he endured the pain. Akira exhaled a sigh of relief and rose to his feet. Volts clenched his teeth and glared at the ground.
"Why? What if you died? I'll be the one who blamed myself! I don't deserve your kindness! Every time, EVERY DAMN TIME! They would go and save my useless life. They gave up their own lives just for me. Why? Damn it wh-" As Volts was talking, Akira punched his face hard, bruising his cheek.
"Don't deserve kindness? Don't deserve crap! I don't know what you've been through but, you've already deserved it, damn it! Don't you dare say that in front of my face! Open your eyes! They sacrificed for you just for your sake. They handed their lives to you, died for you, and you just said you don't deserve it?! You ungrateful jerk!" Akira yelled as his veins popped.
"Think! They sacrificed their lives because they cared for you. And you just spit out an entire pile of bull crap and just think their life was a waste! How would they feel? They'll be disappointed!" Akira's words made Volts' pupils dilate as he stood silent.
Volts was speechless, and his eyes as he stared blankly in deep thought.
"Although I didn't die, you better keep your mouth shut and be thankful to those who died for you. Or else, I might have had you killed and didn't save you, even if I don't kill humans. There's nothing I hate more than people who aren't grateful to live."
Akira exhaled deeply after saying everything he needed to say to make Volts understand their reasons.
"Enough, If you're coming then come! I don't want to waste my time, or that creature will come after Kazoru next!" Akira jumped and left Volts behind.
"..." Volts didn't say a word, Akira's words pierced his heart and he began to feel something.
Akira jumped from building to building and chased after the Metamorian. Suddenly, someone screamed.
"KYAAA, PERVERT!" Citizen screamed.
"Huh? Where?" Akira was confused and looked around him. He saw nothing until he realized...
It turned out, after which Akira turned around, his butt and his back were exposed.
Akira stopped for a moment and went to his inventory, wearing his spare clothes.
Meanwhile, 9 warriors tried their best to put a stop to it, but they only managed to damage the metamorians and failed, they lasted for 4 minutes and died by the blast of the Metamorian. 3 Warriors managed to escape and used water magic and fire magic to make a mist to blind them.
After Akira was done he continued his pursuit. Akira finally made it and halted the man.
The man was surprised to see Akira unharmed. He was unaware of his main abilities, cause Savanth kept secret the information he gave to the leader. He thought there was an advanced healer who helped him.
Akira prepared his scythe ready to engage. The man didn't hesitate and ordered the Metamorian to proceed with another attack. Akira dodged the blast by hopping left and right while throwing his slash at the metamorian. It didn't work, so, Akira had other plans to deal with the creature.
Akira jumped and cut open its chest and used his vampire while also paralyzing it. However, it didn't work as well. The monster gripped its fist and punched him with a tremendous blow.
Akira was pushed away by the impact and smashed into the building. Coughing out blood and his stomach aching because of the impact caused his internal organ damage.
"Not so strong now, aren't you? This is what happens when you interfere with our plans." The man reminded.
Akira just chuckled and said that he didn't care.
"I do what must right, I stop what must wrong. That's what I do!" Akira stared fiercely.
The man furrowed his eyebrows and commanded to kill him at once. The Metamorian released its blast and unexpectedly, Akira threw his scythe directly into its mouth.
The Metamorian exploded because the scythe's blade blocked the opening of the blast. The man was blown away by the explosion, and Akira quickly strangled him.
Akira, with his fierce stare, made the man agitated as his legs felt numb.
"A-24!" He summoned another Metamorians to break free from Akira's stranglehold.
A-24 launched its attack and freed its master.
Akira grabbed his scythe back and tightened his grip.
"Curse you! I swear, I'll kill you and that general's brat! Since Celine has already been terminated, I guess all it's left, is both of you." The man stated that he had killed Celine.
"What?" Akira was shocked that he mentioned her name and was told that she was already been terminated.
"Celine? What have you done to her?!" Akira questioned, with his eyes widened in shock, disbelieving by the fact that they got her.
"Ah, if you want to know. She's in front of you!" The man pointed at A-24.
"What?" Akira stared at the Metamorian all confused.
"These Metamorians were designed with humans. These hideous creatures are what you called superhuman. So we kidnapped her after you were all busy fighting Savanth, we slit her throat and redesigned her body into this perfect creation. To all the metamorians, we created them by just kidnapping warriors or citizens, so technically you just killed a brainwashed human."
Akira with a shocked stare after he heard that she had become a victim of the Metamorians creation.
"You monster!"
"My, my, don't feel the guilt. These creatures aren't humans anymore, but more of a human monsterization. They have no feelings, no guilt, no remorse, just one command can already set them up to destroy everything we desire. Even if they were your friends or family before their deaths, they still follow our commands." The man smirked with malice.
After hearing his explanation, Akira fell into a deep silence. Seeing the Metamorians' faces made him realize how horrible and suffering Celine and the people had gone through as they were being controlled to become an awful monster who wrecked the city.
Akira flickered behind him and took him by surprise. A-24 engaged, but he split it in half. He aimed at the man, trying to clobber him hard.
The man called over the reinforcements.
"A-25 to A-30, engaged!" The man screamed.
Akira kicked him away to avoid them.
[BLOOD MAGIC: MANIA BLOOD SLASH]
Akira went wild and launched a devastating attack by repeatedly swinging his scythe all over his surroundings, slicing and destroying every building near it.
In those slashes, he killed three Metamorians. Then Akira moved on to the next metamorians by jumping, shattering the ground, and killing the two Metamorians with a single slash and a head strike.
The man was amazed that he was able to kill 7 metamorians at once.
Akira then landed on the ground violently, creating a dust explosion. Akira took a small breath before he stood up and faced forward.
"Incredible, what an animal! What a show!" The man commented.
As he was standing on the dust screen, Akira scowled at him, blood streaming from his mouth, and aimed his scythe at him.
"Killing innocent and controlling them into a monster? You scummy trash! I won't let you control anymore of them!"
"Oh... You thought this is the end? Too bad..." He didn't flinch, because he had a backup plan.
"Activate, regeneration!" The man chuckled as he spoke something about regeneration.
"You put up a magnificent show, yet, you just contributed to this creature. They are now strong because of you. For that, I shall give you my utmost gratitude."
'Hmm, it seems, they already reached their limits. Is this brat that strong?' The man spoke in his thought. He knew that these Metamorians were 10% because they were incomplete. However, Akira reached 10% of their limits, which impressed him.
"...Their aura... It's menacing..." Akira immediately smeared blood once again on his blade, feeling the suspense. Akira noticed that they weren't like normal and had become stronger than ever.
The man gave the order to engage A-21 and A-28.
Akira repeatedly cut down his foe. But it recovered more slowly than Akira did. He cut off its head, but it continued to regenerate. Akira has no choice but to employ evasion strategies. He was outnumbered, nevertheless, and was crushed by them.
Akira crouched down and coughed up blood. He then noticed his bloodied palm. He struggled to stand up since he was unable to get the pain to go away.
"End of days, and end of your life. Are there any good warriors around here? Seemingly not. You, however, praisable efforts and you are truly indeed worthy of a warrior. In that case, you will prove useful as my new puppet."
The man ordered them to finish him off, but an unexpected visitor came to help Akira. Stepping in, the Volts stunned them all and canceled their attacks. He extended his hand to help Akira stand up.
"If we want to win, Then let's do this together!" Volts elaborated and extended his hand with sudden words from him. It would appear Akira's words changed him, and now he was willing to work together.
Akira smiled and grabbed his hand to stand up.
Volts and Akira then gazed fiercely at the man and the Metamorians. They had finally worked together and were ready for the second round.
