"Is that...Shun?... Did he just..." Yuya mumbled as he saw his best friend chopped off someone's head. Everyone witnessed how Shun singlehandedly defeated a level 26 fighter.
"You!" Shun pointed at Touma.
"Stay their and be patient, it's your turn next after killing all of your ants." Shun furiously glanced at Touma and without any hesitation he violently swinged his sword to kill all of his remaining underlings.
"You're really strong! But..with your level..did you really defeated that dungeon boss?!" Touma nervously grinned to hide his frustration.
"I don't know, I think I managed to kill him while I'm asleep!" Shun jokingly replied with a straight place.
"Really! Is that a joke.." Touma nervously laughed.
"Honestly, what I just blurted out was the truth. I don't really know how I managed to defeat that monster. All I can remember is how I almost died and that creepy dream.
I don't know if I can even call that a dream, it more like a... nightmare! After waking up, all I saw was dead bodies and the dungeon boss was gone, My broken bones and multiple wounds are also healed. After that a monitor popped up saying that I've slained the boss. " Shun thought, trying to remember what happened.
"And the "Demon Killer Blade" that I was holding was also gone and replaced with this dagger." Shun mumbled as he stares at the new weapon in his hand.

"I can feel the similarly, but this thing is a bit different." He murmured as he stares at the new weapon he was holding.
Shun completely spaced out, Touma took this chance to attack. He quickly touched the ground below him.
"Watch out!" Yuya and Rai shouted in sync.
"Goodbye!" Touma grinned. The ground below Shun suddenly explodes, causing the it to collapse.
"Is he dead?" Rai worriedly ask Yuya as they stare at the large hole on the ground.
"What are you grinning for, shit head?!"
Touma was startled by the voice suddenly spoked behind him. He turned his head and saw Shun sitting behind him, breathing heavily and coughing.
"His alive!" Rai and Yuya pretended to be surprised.
"You shouldn't burry someone alive while having that creepy grin on your face..it's creeping me out. I almost died because of it, by the way." Shun mumbled, while removing the dust from his head and shoulders.
"That was a quick change of personality...the hell happened?" Rai confusingly asked, giving Yuya a curious look.
"Beats me!" Yuya crossed his arms.
"Creepy grin? Did you just called me ugly!!" Touma angrily screamed at Shun who's peacefully sitting on the ground and busy with his thoughts.
"What the hell was that...just earlier, I felt something creepy inside me that telling me to kill those guys...but now, I am much more calmer" Shun completely spaced out.
"Don't ignore me!" Touma angrily aimed his hand at Shun and blasted another explosion, but this time it was directly aimed towards Shun.
Yuya pulled his katana and swiftly rushed towards Shun to protect him.
"Eleventh Defensive Form: Spinning Tide!"
[SKILL "SPINNING TIDE" ACTIVATED]
Large stream of water spinning counter clockwise suddenly appeared in front of him as Yuya rotated his katana. Shun came back from his thoughts, to his surprise he saw that massive amount of water in front of him with atleast 10 feet high and spinning, acting as a barrier.
"What the f*ck!"
Even Rai was surprised , he quickly turned his attention to the unconscious Rein and Hana who's also unconscious after using her mana to heal Rein.
After a few seconds the water barrier has been deactivated by Yuya. He quickly grabbed Shun and helped him get up.
"Tsk... another annoying ability." Touma shifted his angry glare to Yuya.
"Quit spacing out, we're in a fight!"
"Ohh sorry, I'm just testing my durability!" Shun responded.
"Durability? What are you...a gadget!" Yuya jokingly responded and focused his attention to Touma.
"Let's take this somewhere, away from Rein and Hana." Shun suggested.
"Good idea!" Yuya agreed. "Touma! Can we fight somewhere" Yuya humbly asked before pointing at the other side of the forest.
"Whaaaat! That's not necess-"
Yuya swiftly rushed towards Touma before he can even finish his sentence. He uses the momentum and swinged his long katana along with Touma.
"Sixth Offensive Form: Roaring Flame of Heaven!"
[SKILL "ROARING FLAME OF HEAVEN" ACTIVATED]
His sword suddenly burns, and in a blink of an eye Touma was blasted several distance away by the smoldering flame coming from Yuya's blade. The sound of smoldering flames being emitted from Yuya's katana is comparable to a roaring wild beast.
"First water and now...fire!...Yuya is really strong, but..."
Shun stared in amazement as he watches Yuya swiftly runs to close the distance between them and Touma.
"Crap, that was fast... they're leaving me behind...I can't see them." Shun mumbled.
[PASSIVE "RAGE" ACTIVATED]
+ 10% Damage
+ 10% Speed
"Now we're talking!" Shun finally caught up and suddenly stopped as they reached they're battlefield.
"Is this place okay?" Yuya asked while heavily panting.
"Yeah it's fine!"
"It's seems like you're faster than before, what the hell was that?"
"That's my passive skill "Give and take". Every time I use the defensive form my attack power will increase and Everytime I use the offensive form my speed will increase but in exchange the previous effect will be cancelled." Yuya explained.
"I see but where's the enemy." Shun tried looked around to find Touma.
"Bastard! Unforgivable...you'll pay for it!" Touma keeps on screaming. He went crashing overy single trees along the way, and Shun knows that he's in pain.
"...The hell...he's still alive after that." Shun uttered, he turned his head to locate where the voice is coming from.
The moment Shun spotted Touma, Shun immediately put his guard up. He already know that Touma is serious about killing both of them and he felt even more worried about Yuya.

"Yuya, are you really..."
"It's okay, Shun...Trust me." Yuya replied with a smile. Shun was relieved after receiving the answer.
They're ready to attack when suddenly, Touma got in-between them, it was a sloppy but quick move that even Shun failed to notice. He attempted to touch both of them but Yuya managed to dodge and slashes Touma with his katana.
"Huh?" The two quickly jumped back to keep a little distance between him.
"What was that move...just now." Shun mumbled.

Touma was unharmed and his HP just keep on regenerating because of the HP/s bonus stat.
"This guy...I'm sure I sliced him, but...his HP is telling me the opposite, what's going on?!" Yuya gives Shun a confused look.
"It must he his ability, we gotta figure it out, let's keep attacking!"
"I'm the fighter so I'm going first." Yuya uttered in hurry.
"Wait...Yuya!" Shun shouted.
"Seventh Offensive Form: Spreading Wings of inferno!"
In one swing, a massive amount of flames coming from the sword swallowed Touma and the entire forest behind him. The flame is like a devil's wing spreading and it keeps getting larger every second.
The flame was hot enough to even burn the nearby trees without coming in contact with the flames. The flame was too strong that even Shun's HP decreased little by little considering his distance away from the flame.
The flame stopped ofter a few seconds and to their surprise, Touma was still standing and alive. He doesn't even have a burn or any signs of damage, for some reasons he looks like unconscious and unable to speak.

"What's up with him? He survived that?" Shun mumbled.
"Yuya, are you okay?"
"Yeah, but...we need to run"
"Huh?" Shun responded to Yuya's confusing reply.
