The sun was about to set. Two minutes were left for the wife of Jimmy, Nikla, to arrive on earth. And in these two minutes, the fight between Jimmy and Byreus would also reach conclusion.
The assassin threw his sword towards the king. But before it could reach its target, various portals spawned and teleported the sword from place to place in great speed causing Jimmy to be more careful.
"The sword would travel from this world to the one of the dead, however its target would still be locked. After a while, it would suddenly appear near the target's body, not giving him a chance to react." Byreus said.
Just behind Jimmy's back, the sword appeared. He quickly moved to dodge it, but was still bruised.
The sword disappeared again and this time appeared right in front of Jimmy's face.
"His powers are not fully back yet... But still I can take this chance. He might get seriously hurt.. As this sword can literally impale any known material. So this is a huge gamble to see how much power and speed is still in him." Byreus thought to himself.
The sword sped towards Jimmy. In a fraction of a second, he opened his mouth and bit the sword. The timing was fortunately perfect, as the tip of the sword nearly touched the end of his mouth.
Applying force, he broke the sword into two with his teeth. Byreus was shocked and amazed. The word whichHe grabbed the handle of the outer part of the sword and threw it back at Byreus.
Byreus opened a Gate in front of him for the sword to go into. The sword went halfway in but before it could completely disappear, Jimmy caught it.
He jumped with so much speed that he reached the portal which was in the sky before the hal broken sword could even go inside.
With the sword in his hand, Jimmy pulled the sword back and swinged it aiming at Byreus' neck.
He stopped the swing when the sword touched Byreus' neck. The attack was so powerful that it sliced the rocks far away that were in the range of motion of the swing.
The fight... Was over. And Jimmy was the winner.

"Hahaha! As expected from you, my Lord!" Byreus giggled.
After the fight, they were sitting on one of the half sliced rocks. Waiting for the queen to arrive.
"I am so happy to finally fight you after so long. You don't know how long I craved you!" He said.
"That was not nicely framed..." Jimmy commented.
With them talking, they observed that the wind was now blowing more than usual. It was getting annoying because the dust from the duel was also getting blown.
"What is this?"
"I think... It's the queen!"
Meanwhile on the Brave Hand.
In just ten minutes, all the 11 S Grade heroes had arrived for the meeting. They were all seated around a table in a dark room. The room was lit by the holograms that appeared on top of the table.
The door of the room opened and entered the directors - Mr. Morstan, Mrs. Thompson, Mr. Claymore. Mr. Emphess was not here because of his weakness to light. So his voice was being transmitted through the microphone.
"Heroes, thank you all for assembling here. We have held this meeting because of something very serious." Thompson said.
"In the Galafic Ocean, a huge island has suddenly appeared." Emphess continued.
"What do you mean 'suddenly appeared'?" S Grade Rank 5 Golden Fist asked.
"Well doesn't surprises me. In a world of super powers, things like this are to be expected." S Grade Rank 3 Kim Robin said.
"We don't know for sure. But here is a thing. After searching inside the guilt, we found a treasure that was discovered 58 years ago.
It is a stone tablet. And it has writings about a certain mass of land that will appear in the middle of an ocean that connects the two ends of the world. The Galafic Ocean connects the two poles, that could be said to be the two ends." Claymore mentioned.
"But what's more intriguing is that - The tablet also says something about a certain man. It is a kind of prophecy, which says that when the land mass rises, meaning would start to lose its meaning. Logic would start to become illogical, and that would be because a certain man would begin his conquest." He added.
"A man from prophecy? Interesting." S Grade Rank 8 Hahakun said.
Morstan walked forward.
"That's why we are concerned. I would like all you heroes to be on guard more than often and look out for dangers. We cannot risk the lives of our people. Remember, protecting the innocents.. Is the work of our guild!"
