*BOOOMMM!!!*
" Dammit, it's Galen isn't it...!? " Raiden says as he felt Galen's powerful blow of an attack, for the attack created a large boom and shockwave which disrupts their battle.
Boulder's gone amok around due to the shockwaves, jumping around as it destroys almost the parts inside the Top Floor due to Galen's uncontrollable attack he cast.
As he sees it, Raiden then was hit hard by Adrian who flies him up far away due to the punch's very powerful.
" You've grown weak, Raiden...! " Adrian says after giving him a punch as Raiden was flown away, still holding Kara hard while waiting for her to wake up.
As he punched him, as he feels better after being recovered by Flolial, he then stands up from his chair, for he then steps down towards Raiden.
" It seems you too had grown weak, Adrian! " Raiden says as he sees Adrian heavily wounded still, after some confrontation with Raiden and Kara earlier hence why Adrian asks Flolial to tend his wounds and it seems Raiden also noticed Adrian's punches are getting weaker than before.
" What happened...!? " Raiden asks Adrian while he looks at Flolial staring back at him.
"( B*ch don't tell me... )"
" Is it because of that woman, Adrian!!!? " Raiden asks him as he points at Flolial behind him.
" That woman you brought up from nowhere! " Raiden says, insulting Flolial which made her pissed.
" You.., how dare you... I!? "
" Silence, woman! " Adrian interrupts her, interrupting Flolial during her heightened emotion.
" Stay your mouth shut, will ya! " Adrian stares at her menacingly which made her afraid.
"( This powerful pressure..., when did he...? )" Flolial ask herself, begin to reconsidering everything.
As she shivers, Adrian tells Raiden to ignore her, telling Raiden that Flolial is merely his other ally in order to gain more.
" So she's basically your side chick huh? " Raiden asks Adrian.
" Yes, after all, I had no heart with her from the beginning... " Adrian says as she also looks at Flolial again.
" Then she's only using you then, is that why you always leave me and Randall during your time offs in the past? " Raiden asks Adrian again which made Adrian sigh.
" You seem to get the wrong idea, huh...? " Adrian asked as he looks at Raiden who is holding Kara on his shoulders at the moment.
" Do you even know what's going on? " Adrian says as he then approached Raiden, using his Sin Core abilities to transform his hand.
[ Gift Switch ]
[ Gift: Kabuto Blade ]
...
"( Wait, so he's not under Flolial's influence...!? )" Raiden realized as Adrian leaps at him with his Kabuto Blade trying to slice Raiden.
" Nice try fool!!! " Raiden says as he uses his [Hand Scythe]s.
" You think just because you had another physical type Gift that turns parts of your body into weapons just like me would help you!? " Raiden asks as he counters the very attack.
" Besides isn't that Kabuto's Gift, one of the Sharks you punished after bringing us a great failure? " Raiden asks Adrian again, as he knows whose Gift Adrian is using right now via his Sin Core's power.
" Well, you know why I have this, don't you!? " Adrian then knocks Raiden again, trying his best to beat him up but Raiden manages to survive him thanks to Aphrodite supporting his ass up.
" Yeah, you were so angry at him at the time that you even risked using your Sin Core ability in public during the huge Raid with the other Guilds back then, right!? " Raiden recounts the old days.
" Of course, I remember all of it, I was there too you bloody fool! "
" I was so shocked you did that in front of the others back then, in front of the reporting camera at that Raid back then!!! " Raiden says as he kicks Adrian hard into the ground and then stomps at him, pinning him down in the ground.
As he pins him, Raiden looks at Adrian sharply as he clenched his fist.
" You're really like this, aren't you Adrian? " Raiden asks which made Adrian confused.
" What do you mean? "
" What the hell is that ques...tion of yours...? " Adrian asks him back.
" You don't really understand this, do you? " Raiden asks as he slashes Adrian's hand off while using Aphrodite's thunder.
"( My... my hand... )"
"( I can't... )"
" Don't even think about using Roland's regeneration Gift, Adrian... " Raiden tells as he knew that Adrian is going to use regeneration after this.
" Keukkk! " Adrian struggles as he tries to activate it.
" It's no use, I already stunned your innards and internal organs to stop you from even performing it. "
" Try activating your stolen Gifts while you're muscles are stunned, it can't happen. " Raiden says to Adrian as he still tries to activate the Regeneration Gift Ability.
" Dammit! " Adrian says as he can't move.
" I can't use my Sin Ability... " Adrian says as he still tries to move his body despite being stunned by the Thunder Raiden inflicted on his inner parts.
" Of course, you won't... "
" Struggle as much as you want but I'll assure you that your Sin Core's Ability will never work. "
" For I've been thinking about how to deal with it, Adrian... "
" Besides, the Ability itself can't be done per your desire right? you need to use some limbs or your movable body parts to use that very ability... "
" I realized this for a fact... " Raiden states which shocks Adrian and Flolial who still watches the battle from far away.
"( This bastard, don't tell me... )" Flolial tries to do something with her fingers but.
" Not so fast... " Kara says as she suddenly wakes up and immediately flashes behind Flolial, putting her DIE Weapon, Sharptusk in her throat.
"( How did she...? )" Flolial asks herself as Kara pants for she is just, probably around 65% awake at the moment, and part of her head is still dizzy.
" Don't try anything stupid..., Hunter Flolial Flora... "
" Or else my weapon will execute you immediately... " Kara says to Flolial who can't do anything since Kara caught her perfectly, making her unable to move an inch for moving could cost her life.
" Hold that woman right there, Kara! " Raiden says to Kara to never let her eyes off Flolial as he deals with Adrian.
" How much do you know of this...? " Adrian asks as he still wonders how the hell Raiden managed to deal with him in this pitiful state before he even starts his turn on revealing his strengths.
" It's easy..., Adrian. " Raiden says to him as he puts his [Hand Scythe]s blade into Adrian's crown as it is still embedded in his head.
" You can say, I had help from some brat!!! " Raiden says to him.

" So tell me, human... " Thorndamn says to Ragna as he orders his Black Shadows to hold him for a while.
" Why do you want our Storage so badly...? " Thorndamn says as Ragna collects and loots some boxes available.
< Item Obtained >
< Item Obtained >
< Item Obtained >
< Item Obtained (X35) >
" I need this, okay... " Ragna responds to Thorndamn, telling the Deviant Lord who is actually a Deviant Priest to shut up while he collects all the things.
" Besides... " Ragna continues.
" There's more goods here that you haven't shown me, right? " Ragna asks for he asks Thorndamn to also reveal the other goods and rooms that are connected as a backdoor for the Abyss Tower Floors.
"( This kid, how did he knew? )" Thorndamn wonders while Ragna looks at him with his Twelve Eye of Time activating.
