____Narration____

The situation throughout the tame was chaotic. Fighters and bodyguards were fighting side by side to stop the advance of the guardians, but everyone knew, it was only a matter of time before they would be outnumbered.

And with Yuji, it was no different. Even though he hadn't suffered any damage facing countless groups of guardians, he was already feeling the fatigue catch up with him. Alone, the guardians were not that strong, since their attributes were on average SSS, but when they were gathered together, they could irritate and tire anyone.

Besides, Yuji didn't want to use [Advancement] or [Removal], since even though he had great control of both techniques, it still tired his body. He needed to be in great shape for his next fight, since knowing Katahara, he knew that the tournament would not be interrupted by a mere invasion.

Lifting a guardian by the neck, Yuji smashed him to the ground before continuing to advance through the corridors.

But the situation was getting too complicated to think about keeping up the energy.

Besides, Yuji was getting more and more nervous due to the fact that he could not find any of the girls.

He had already passed the infirmary, but ended up finding only the bodies of some guardians, with no sign of the fighters or the girls.

The fact that he could not use his hearing to find them due to the noise throughout the dome was not helping either.

It was only making him more and more stressed.

Boom!

Sticking a guardian's head into the wall, he quickly moved to knock out a group in front of him with one thrust, the ground in his path shattering, a characteristic of the Lightning Flash technique of [Raishin style].

"I still haven't got the hang of it." Referring to the execution of the technique, he kept running.

Although he wanted to think a little more about style, he couldn't waste any time. The faster he could find the girls, the faster he could keep them safe and find a way to stop the invasion.

!

*Scream*

Stopping abruptly as he noticed something with his hearing, Yuji looked around frantically.

"A female scream, I'm sure I heard it. Where did it come from?"

But no matter how hard he tried to find the exact spot from which he had heard the scream, the clashes around him quickly took over his hearing, causing him to frown in annoyance.

"Fuck!"

Destroying the wall with one punch, his eyes narrowed as he advanced like lightning.

.

After a long time, Karura was finding herself in a complicated situation.

After escaping the infirmary, she, Senju and Kou were able to hide in a warehouse along with Elena, Kazuo and the unconscious fighters.

So far, everything was going well, her plan was simply to wait until things were sorted out. Being the daughter of the patriarch of the Kure clan, she already knew that her family was on their way to the island, already aware of the attack. It would only be a matter of time before they would arrive and start slaughtering the guardians.

But of course, things could not be so simple.

'He's very strong...' Facing a guardian in front of her, Karura breathed heavily as she kept her guard up.

After a few minutes, the warehouse was invaded by a guardian, who brought in the unconscious body of Kono Haruo. With a quick glance, she noticed nothing much about the guardian, except for the foil he carried.

But she had dealt with many weapons before, so she didn't worry too much about that and attacked him, after all, he was just a guardian, she just needed to take him down.

But it didn't take long for her to realize her mistake, when with one extremely swift movement, he pierced her shoulder, causing her to retreat quickly, only to be chased away.

This caused Senju to intervene to save her, but the guardian proved not to be like the others when, with a single, accurate kick to her stomach, he knocked her out.

Seeing this, Karura tried to move forward, but retreated again when the thin blade almost pierced one of her eyes.

The man in front of her was strong, stronger than she was, and that was a problem.

The situation only got worse when Kou tried to attack him by surprise. For a moment it seemed to catch him off guard, but he was still quick enough to dodge her palm and knock her out with an attack to the back of her head.

With that, it led to the present moment.

She was injured, the guardian had hit a specific spot on her shoulder that had considerably affected the movement of her arm.

She had been foolish, and now, not even [Removal] would be able to help her in this situation.

But that did not mean that all was lost.

She had promised that she would protect the girls in Yuji's absence. What kind of wife would she be if she didn't keep a promise to her future husband?

So she would buy time, enough time for someone to arrive. The only thing she needed to do was to delay the man in front of her.

And she would.

.

Ranjo was impressed. He could expect no less from the granddaughter of the patriarch of the Kure clan.

It was a surprise to him to find her protecting Kazuo Yamashita and Ohma Tokita, but this did not worry him one bit.

Because early in the fight, he was able to immobilize one of his arms.

The other two girls were just a nuisance that he tried to get out of the way as quickly as possible, although the younger one showed something that attracted his attention.

Ranjo had to admit, the future matriarch of the Kure clan had fought well. She had great control of her secret technique, but unfortunately for her, he knew most of her clan's tricks.

He would have liked to enjoy his confrontation more, but unfortunately, he had no time to waste. The capture of Ohma Tokita needed to be done as quickly as possible.

Having knocked out Karura and pierced her leg, he knew that the girl would not be a problem, even if she woke up.

"Stay behind me, Mr. Yamashita!"

Now he needed to eliminate just two more nuisances and leave with Ohma Tokita.

Looking at the blonde girl who had a terrified expression as she stood in front of Kazuo Yamashita to protect him from his inevitable end, Ranjo squinted his eyes and stepped forward, raising his foil, preparing for a stab.

'I'm going to take advantage of the fact that she's in the front and pierce both of their hearts.'

"...!"

Ranjo stopped his offensive when a felt a powerful killing intent explode from his back, causing him to turn and raise his blade to protect himself.

"What... What is that?"

The guardian's eyes widened as he saw a figure standing at the entrance to the warehouse, a figure he knew well, and whom his organization had been searching for for two years. Someone they were convinced they would capture during the invasion.

"Yuji Shinakawa."

He muttered, sweat collecting on his forehead as he felt the killing intent completely directed at him.

'What is he doing here? He should have been captured by now.'

Yuji gripped the edge of the entrance with enough force to create cracks all over the walls, his eyes roaming over the unconscious bodies of the three girls as the pressure emanating from his body became strong enough that Elena and Kazuo had trouble breathing.

The veins in his body slowly began to show all over his skin, swelling to the point that even those in his face were visible.

Ranjo went on alert and braced himself for a possible attack, his hair bristling as the boy's eyes turned to him.

'It's like... Looking at a demon.'
