"Damn it."
Ishona manages to leap all the way back next to the Migaka.
He looks at Double, and wastes no time preparing a attack.
"It seems like I took you lightly, Shadow gras-"
"Stop it before I have to stop you Ishona."
Ishona lowers his Reiki, and stares at Messorem in confusion. Messorem puts his sword back into his sheathe.
"We can't fight them, I'm sorry, but I can't allow you to do this."
"That's right Messorem, you've always been so soft haven't you?"
Everyone in the area looks up and notices that Seikatsu had been sitting on a floating platform. Joki begins to walk close to Seikatsu and charges his Reiki.
"You can come down from that platform easily, or have me murder you in front of all these people, Seikatsu. Choose one, and I am not going to repeat myself."
"Hmm, so you managed to survive Vanus's ability, and here I was thinking that you were nothing but power. The boy Vanus was so shaken up when I found him, so to punish him for his weakness. Let's say he's in critical condition now."
"Damn you! You wanna continue to hurt people who have done nothing but be by your side!"
"Double, stop it now."
Double looks at Joki after stopping him from leaping at Seikatsu.
"We can't waste any time. We need to get back to that portal and continue with the original plan."
"Portal? Plan? You don't mean you plan on going through that portal Joki. You know what's on the other side of it, don't you?"
"You have chosen to stand next to the Migaka, so that means I have nothing to say to you Messorem."
Messorem hears this and begins to scowl at Joki. Seikatsu begins standing up on the floating platform.
"What could nobody like you people even do? You have no influence, do you really think you could bring the other world together all by yourselves?"
"In order to bring peace, it must first be brought everywhere. We have no choice but to explore and see what we could do from here."
Seikatsu smirks.
The rest of the Migaka all look up with distress all over their face.
"Peace is already being brought with my actions. I am creating a world that forces everyone to come together whether they like it or not."
"Forcing innocent people to act against their will is not peace!"
The Migaka's eyes begin to widen. Ishona, and Ardor jump onto the platform with Seikatsu to talk with him.
"Sir, tell me they are wrong. What does Joki mean forcing the innocent against their will?"
"Who told you weaklings to come anywhere near me? I have no more use for you."
Seikatsu's eyes turn dark blue as he puts his palm on the stomach of Ardor.
"Malleable Form."
Seikatsu blows a hole through the stomach of Ardor.
Ishona begins to run away in fright of what he has just seen.
"Damn you! I'm ending this now. Katastrofi Logos!"
Joki releases a slash attack that has his Reiki spewing off of it. Seikatsu doesn't move though, and decides to take the attack head on.
"Energy Siphon."
Seikatsu takes the hit, and immediately Joki's body begins to feel weird. Seikatsu begins to laugh even louder at Joki after his attack finished.
"What the hell, Joki's attack should have killed him just now, but he's standing unphased."
"You fools, I had been preparing for this day just in case that bastard had lived. Joki, your biggest mistake was not killing me the moment you figured out who I was. Because of that mistake, you have lost access to 50% of your Reiki."
Joki's eyes widen. He begins to grit his teeth in anger as he appears behind Seikatsu.
"So what, then I'll just kill you so the effects of your ability ware off."
Seikatsu manages to turn around in time before Joki can cut him.
They begin clashing blades which shakes the entirety of the Monark Regius.
"Double, Kazu, we have to get going immediately. There's too much destruction happening all at the same time."
"She's right! im gonna go pick up Ardor. We have to get to that prison if it's the last thing we do."
"I'm afraid I can't just let you take Ardor."
Messorem instantly appears next to Double.
He grabs Ardor, and quickly vanishes out of sight.
"That fast bastard, whatever the case may be, I can't worry about them right now. Kazu, Reima, we can't leave Joki just on his own like that. Something drastic has happened to him."
Meanwhile
Joki and Seikatsu continue their clash shaking the entirety of the Monark Regius.
"Here is one of the strongest in the world born with such extraordinary Reiki. If only you weren't such a foolish child, maybe you could have done more. I chose you because of that foolishness I noticed from you though so I guess it's a win-win, don't you think?"
"Like I care what you think of me, why did you choose to involve Double and everyone else in this mess?"
Seikatsu begins to start pushing back Joki. Joki returns the favor by putting more force into his attack.
"How many reasons could I give? Let's start off with Kazu. You know it just like I do. i know you feel the Reiki that he has is outstanding and just flooding with potential."
"So what? It just means that the kid has some ability that can help bring peace to this world. The right way! I won't let you do to him what you did to me."
Joki knocks Seikatsu off the platform by going under his blade and kicking him in the stomach. As Seikatsu lands on the ground, he begins sitting on the ground coughing up blood.
"It's incredible, even with half of your Reiki taken, you are still unstoppable. I have no use of you now though, you have now become a threat that can be neutralized."
"Hardly, I can't be neutralized with my friends around me. I won't treat them like they are under me. I won't ever become anything like you Seikatsu."
"Hmph, just like when you were younger. You just have something to say for everything don't you?"
Seikatsu vanishes out of sight completely using a teleportation ability.
Joki for the first time, had been sweating right after a altercation with another.
'Double, Kazu, Reima, you three are the people who I can entrust to help me restore peace to this world. Don't let me down, I can't rely on just myself anymore it seems.'
Joki leaps to the prison.
Double, Reima, Kazu had been just standing there awaiting Joki to arrive.
"Joki, I can feel it, a huge portion of your Reiki has been altered. What happened?"
"It's nothing to worry about Double, if anything that just makes it a little more fair that I'm here, don't you think?"
Joki begins to smile at the group. Double's face didn't change, he begins to look at Joki with a serious look on his face.
"Double, it's okay. I'm going to make up for my wrongs in my own way. I will do what I should have done when I got here, and kill Seikatsu the next time I get the chance."
"Yeah, right now we got different things to handle though sensei."
Kazu finishes his words then looks to the entrance underground.
Joki begins to walk forward, as Double, Kazu, and Reima follow him underground.
