" Now you are mine once more, Raiden! " Adrian says after consuming Raiden.
" You once live under my shadow, you succeed because you walk beside me, and you shared all of my glories. "
" Now, since you have a different vision than me. "
" Then I had no choice but to make you return what's mine! " Adrian says as he barfs.
Seeing that, Galen immediately gets angered but suddenly.
" GALEN!!! "
" LEAVE THE MONSTERS TO ME!!! " Ragna tells him, telling Galen that he can now move for a bit and can probably attack the summoned monsters with long-ranged skills.
" JUST GO! DO WHAT YOU MUST! " Ragna shouts at him, telling him what the [Twelve Eye of Time] shows him.
" Just do it, do it, even if it's risky! " Ragna says for he foresaw what Galen plans to do.
"( I see..., so you already foreseen it. )"
"( Very well, my disciple, and my friend... )"
"( Thank you for giving me, at least some confidence in doing what's next... )" Galen says as he leaves the monsters, trusting that Ragna would deal it for him.
" I'm leaving these to you, Ragna! "
" Hope you're energy is restored when these things get close to you! " he prays for he then jumps over to Adrian.
" You bet! " Ragna says while still feeling worried about the vision he sees that comes right after the three brutal deads of his companions inside this Tower. Three of them that he slowly trusts, despite not knowing them that close for he hasn't spent years with them to even count them as his 'friends'.
But despite that short time, he already felt lost after seeing their deaths. Without them, he wouldn't be freed from the [Yakan Curse] with the help of Inquisitor Kara, Slowly healing his trauma thanks to Aphrodite's caringness over his condition, and knowing more about his main enemy Adrian from Raiden since he is once the enemy's close confidant.
As he learns more from them, Ragna already wished at some point for their survival.
But that moment happened, that option*, the moment when he had to choose despite the Twelve Eye only giving him a glimpse of what he needed to see.
" Why are you giving me this? [Twelve Eye]! [System]!? "
" If I do choose one of them...! "
" What will happen to the others...!? " Ragna remembers what he says at that time, where in the end, after seeing all the visions from the [Twelve Eye] he decides to choose Battle Maiden to be saved inside the System, for that means that the Maiden's fate is at least sparred from the next course of this Tower's story.

" I better use my skills... "
' Better be useful while my body is being shit! " Ragna says while opening the
"( I can't hold with the death of comrades forever. )" Ragna says as his tears of regret began to dry.
"( If I lose my chance back then to save them, then I had no choice but to make sure to use any chances possible to save my remaining comrades. )" Ragna says as he knew he can't give all of the pressure to Galen alone.
"( Twelve is busy watching over that girl from the Fubuki family, 69 is busy watching guard on Battle Maiden's condition while also maintaining the things inside the System Space with 100 who also helps on guarding the other pods. )" Ragna recounts the situation.
"( While they're at it, I have no choice but to complete this mission on my own, I can't let the others be drowned with my poor choices anymore. )" Ragna still regrets things while opening the
< System Shop Opened >
" Requesting Potions!!! " Ragna says to the System as he then also looks at his Coins.
< Coins: 1.000.000 Coins >
"( F**k this, I can buy the highest rank of items later, but for now! )" Ragna says he then decides to buy as many potions and armor, accessories, and any item he deemed to be of use as he buys it using those Coins, only leaving 1.000 Coins to spare.
< Coins -999.000 >

As it happens, Ragna quickly auto-equips all armor he just bought, and drinks the potions to return him to his peak.

As he equips those and gets to his peak condition, Ragna begins attacking the monsters with his full fury of regret, due to his foolishness and powerlessness, Ragna had to lose three of his companions, his greatest assets to use.
He owes them a lot and swears that their death will be done right, for their graves will be decorated using the corpse parts of the monsters he will kill, and will be given Adrian's bones for the final decoration.
" You goddamn summoned Demonic Monsters! "
" Your summoner killed my friends! "
" Now for retribution, I'll make sure to kill you and your summoner and make your corpses my friends' graves' decorations! " Ragna jumps and slashes the summoned monsters Adrian just summoned while he is busy.
< Gorgorath Monster killed >
< Giragoth Demon killed >
" RAAHHH!!! " Ragna releases his anger and regret upon the monsters, he burst out everything he had while gathering more EXP from the things he killed.
< Congratulations You Leveled Up >
< (!) WARNING (!) >
< (!) Second Wave Incoming (!) >
" 'Wave Incoming'!? there's more!? " Ragna asks as he wonders how powerful Adrian is since he seems to be given unlimited energy to summon the Demonic Monsters and etc etc etc, Ragna doesn't know anymore what the hell he's facing.
" COME AT ME!!! " Ragna attacks them. he faces all of them in order to gather their corpses to fulfill his retribution for his dead comrades.
While Ragna is finishing them all, Galen is fighting Adrian as he uses many of his Martial Arts techniques.
[ Heavenly Sting Acupuncture, Innards Destruction ]
Galen gives Adrian the technique to destroy is inner organs, but since Adrian is so buffed.
" Hey bastard, do you think that destroying my innards, IS ENOUGH!? " Adrian says as he punches Galen away.
" Shit you also destroy more of my gathered cores, I stored it for years, dammit! " Adrian charges onto Galen as the two immediately battle, they use their respective abilities, punches, and kicks were given to damage each other, they fight so bloodily, blood pouring from each other's flesh.
[ Heavenly Sting Acupuncture, Blood Flow Decrease ]
Galen uses his acupuncture to decrease his blood flow, using his Ki to also heal his wounds.
[ Ki Regeneration Technique ]
[ Using the Ki to forcefully regenerates the User's own body. ]
" The hell... " Adrian sees Galen regenerate.
" Those things you just used, I think I've seen before despite it was only used in some instances. "
" Not actually you, but... "
" Ah! " Adrian suddenly realized, but before that, he immediately received a powerful attack from Galen before even daring to speak one word.
" [ Hive Stinger's Aether Demonic Thunder Obliteration Technique, Aethernal Destruction Stingwave Thunderwing Strike ] !!! " When Galen did that, he poured all of his strength into that one attack to make sure Adrian had a hard time, even using his regeneration.
