The man walks towards, Infinity and again says, "Do you seriously think I'd let you kill my subordinates".
He continues, "It appears you have grown in strength, I'm going to show you what real ego is."
The man's ego exponentially increases. Infinity says "It feels just like that one time, no way it could be...him?"
***Jesters, ego rises 10 fold once again***, he states "Now watch how useless you are"
Infinity rushed towards Jester, attempted to strike him with his sword but Jester was quick to act, grabbing Infinity's wrist and punching infinity away.
Whilst, Infinity was engaged against Jester Tsurugi aimed his shot and fired, Jester saw the bullet last second and disappeared.
In the next moment Tsurugi was knocked out, Jester says " Didn't I tell you, interfering in fights is dishonourable. "
At the same time, Natalia found herself in Tokis dream world since the conditions for her ability had been activated. Natalia pondered in confusion regarding how she should escape this predicament but it didn't matter.
Jester shifting his attention to saving Natalia was enough to shatter the dream world, the sheer amount of ego being directed at it destroyed it from the outside.
This brought enough time for Natalia to fly towards Jester, or so she thought, Jester had already made his way to Competez and stood off against Plotify. This was the first time In Plotifys existence that he had no answer for the problem he was faced with.
Jester, slowly walked towards Competez and picked up his limp body, one simple glance at Plotify was enough to make Plotify drop to the floor in fear.
Jester then gave Competez to Natalia and made his way to the rest of his subordinates, 1 by 1, Brij, Oppo and Forko were in safe hands. The hard work of infinity group was gone within seconds.
Jester says "I told you that you were useless." but looks at Brij and says, "although I wouldn't expect someone of your level to make *him* lose an arm", Jester asks Natalia to help carry the heavily injured Forko, Brij and Competez and says "Oppo should be fine to walk"
Bloodied and defeated, infinity desperately cries "All that...for nothing, just kill me, why can't you kill me?"
Before Jester leaves alongside Natalia he pauses, turns around and says "I don't kill the weak, when you're weak you have nothing, and that is a sentence worth than death, pathetic mutt."
Infinity forces himself to standup, he looked around to see his friends, scattered all across the floor, Sway, Plotify and Tsurugi, all traumatized or knocked out from the events.
The trio, Kat,Toki,Lena approached infinity and Toki asked, "Can we join you? If it means taking down *that* man"
Infinity, who was crushed mentally, trying to cling to any hope, gladly accepted.
It took an entire day of medical assistance to get Sway back to a normal state, for the rest, Plotify and Tsurugi, they had a fairly easy recovery, although Tsurugi was more injured than Plotify.
Infinity, as prideful as he is, begrudgingly asks Plotify "Is there anyway you know we can get stronger?"
Plotify simply says "Egghead Arena is hosting an open fighting tournament. We can join.
Tsurugi says, "aren't the contestants really strong? What are the rules of the tournament anyway?"
Plotify replied, "7v7, After the tournament we can just absorb their group into the faction so we grow stronger."
Infinity says, "We need to get stronger. We need strength. We're going there.
His mind flashed back to the incident the day before, how Jester easily undid all of the effort Infinity put in with ease. Infinity didn't just want to beat Jester now, he wanted to kill him.
In what appears to be a forest, a man holding a purple coated spear says "I can feel the energy of the weak piling up like maggots".
