The battle for Kirata's life rages on, and so far, it looks like it could go to anyone, but according to Kirata, the boys had no chance to win from the beginning. With that belief, Arcta tries his hardest to free Kirata before it's too late.
Unknown goes in for an attack on Hunter, but Hunter seems to not be taking him seriously. Unknown and Hunter go back and forth with strong punches and kicks.
"Hahaha, that energy boy's powers are pretty strong, and the other one has anti-OGI weapons; what's your gimmick?"
"Tch, I don't have any gimmicks; these punches and kicks are all you get from me."
"Hehe, then what's the point of me even wasting my time with you?"
"God damn it, this creep isn't taking me seriously!"
Unknown grits his teeth and backs away from Hunter.
"I'll show you who's really a waste of time, you creep!"
Unknown activates the flex technique and slams his foot into the ground, which breaks the ground under him. Five huge chunks of earth flew into the air.
"Hahaha, what the fuck is breaking the ground going to do for you?"
"How about you shut the hell up and watch!?"
Unknown jumps up into the air and kicks all five chunks of earth at Hunter simotansley.
"Hahaha, I can't believe you thought shit like this would do anything."
Hunter inhales, and when he exhales, he releases multiple huge green substances that melt each chunk of earth on contact.
"I guess it's impressive that you're strong enough to kick giant rocks, but I'm sorry to tell you this isn't football."
"Yeah, you might be right, but I definitely distracted you long enough."
Wayne appears behind Hunter, but instead of being surprised, Hunter grins menacingly. Wayne winds up his blade for an attack but seems to be moving extremely slowly. Wayne notices this and starts to make a realization in his head of what could possibly be going on.
"Damn it, he got me in his malice technique, and I think it's stronger than before; it's almost like I'm moving in slow motion. I see this bastard has been just playing around with us the entire time, and now he's decided to put his back into it, Hunter, damn you!"
Hunter turns around and kicks Wayne sky-high. Before Wayne could hit the ground, Lex flew in and caught him.
"Thank you, Lex; you are always a great help! Now get me back in there!"
As Wayne and Lex return to battle, Kage charges up an energy beam and blasts it at Hunter. He jumps up to avoid the attack but then gets met with a fist to the jaw. Unknown was able to predict Hunter's movements and send him flying with a punch to the jaw. Before he hits the ground, Hunter grows wings out of his back.
"Hehe, ok, that one was pretty good but not enough! Come on now, I need a challenge, or this is no fun!"
Hunter glances toward Wayne, who is in the air with Lex. Hunter instantly goes after them with full aggression.
"Damn it, here he comes!"
Wayne pulls out his shotgun and shoots it multiple times. Hunter vanishes and reappears in front of Wayne. He slaps the shotgun out of Wayne's hand. Before he could even react, Hunter punched Wayne in the face. Before the altercation could go any further, Lex grew all of his tails to 8 feet and shot multiple close-quarter fireballs at Hunter. With the fireballs so close, they damage both Hunter and Wayne.
"holy shit that could have been way worse, but we're still alive. Lex, please be careful with how close you shoot those fireballs."
"Grrr"
Without either Lex or Wayne noticing, Hunter appeared behind them.
"Shit!"
"Heh, don't worry about getting hit by your own attack anymore because that last attack was your last!"
Hunter raises both of his fists and slams both of them onto Lex's back, completely shattering his fragile spine into multiple pieces.
"Gaarr!!"
After screaming in pain, Lex goes unconscious and drops Wayne. Since Lex was holding Wayne, he also took some damage from Hunter's attack.
Wayne falls to the ground from many feet in the sky. Wayne instantly tries to get up, but all the damage he's taken in this battle is starting to catch up with him.
"No, I can't stop; now I have to get up! Damn it, you stupid body move!"
As Wayne struggles, he looks at his left arm and sees that it's completely bent backward at the elbow joint.
"Ahhhhhhh!!!!!"
As he screams in pain. He tries his hardest to pull himself back together. In battle, it is always important to stay calm, even when in any type of pain, because time won't wait for you to deal with one problem before you have to deal with another. From behind him, Wayne hears a loud thud. Wayne looks back and sees Lex, who isn't looking any better than him. Lex has multiple cuts and bruises all over his little body. Lex is also losing so much blood that he lies unconscious in it. Wayne sees the state his best friend is in and goes completely silent.
"...."
Ever since the battle started, Wayne has been at his mental limit. His father's life is in danger; George is dead; Lex is now in bad condition; and now Wayne's injuries are starting to intensify. Wayne starts to breathe heavily, almost like he's trying to figure out how to breathe properly. Wayne attempts to scream out for Lex, but the only sound coming from his mouth that is hearable is heavy breathing. Wayne suddenly turns pale and grabs his chest. The only thing going through Wayne's mind is, "I can't breathe."
Wayne suddenly blacks out and lies face down on the ground. While Wayne has a panic attack, Kage and Unknown continue their assault on Hunter.
"Energy manipulation: multi-energy attack!"
Kage sends hundreds of energy beams toward Hunter. At the same time, Hunter is going fist-to-fist with Unknown. Unknown backs away from Hunter and lets him get hit by all the energy beams. The energy beams leave Hunter's body in shambles.
"Yes sir! Every one of them hit! Thanks, Unknown, for keeping him busy. Now get out of there so I can send in the big boy!"
"Right!"
Kage points his palm to the sky. All of a sudden, the clouds get cleared by a giant pillar of energy.
"Now I think it's time to send you to hell!"
Kage slams the same palm he raised onto the ground.
"Energy manipulation: Energy pillar!"
"Ok, here it comes. I'm coming to you!"
"Ok, hurry up before you get caught in the crossfire! I've been charging up this one for a while, so it's way stronger!"
As the energy pillar speeds its way down, Unknown rushes toward Kage, but even in his predicament, Hunter smiles menacingly.
"I knew this attack was coming eventually, but in my state, I might not survive this attack. Hehe, I love being on the brink of death!"
Hunter sticks out his tongue, and using the ability of a Caitil, he extends his tongue so far it reaches Unknown. Hunter wraps his tongue around Unknown and wipes him back to where he is.
"Unknown, what the hell is going on?"
"How am I supposed to know he just grabbed him with his tongue!?"
After hearing those words, Kage realizes what Hunter is attempting to do.
"Oh shit, Unknown get out of there now!"
"I'm trying, but this tongue is way stronger than you would think."
Suddenly, Hunter uses his tongue to move Unknown higher into the sky. Unknown looks up and sees that he's about to collide with the oncoming energy pillar.
"Oh, shit!!"
Hunter slams Unknown into the energy pillar with his tongue. The energy pillar explodes instantly, and the only thing it hit was Unknown.
"Unknown!!!!"
Unknown slams into the ground with tattered clothes, and most of his skin is burned pretty badly. On top of all that, Unknown is completely unconscious. Seeing his friend in such a state pisses off Kage off to a new level of anger.
"Unknown!!! You bastard and your damn dirty tricks!"
Kage looks back over to where he last saw Hunter but sees that he's nowhere to be found.
"God damn it, get the fuck out here!"
Kage, in rage, uses energy manipulation: energy release to force Hunter out of hiding. Kage takes all the energy he built up from draining Hunter's energy and releases it all at once in a huge explosion. The attack completely wrecks the field, but Hunter is still nowhere in sight.
"Damn, where the hell did he go!?"
Hunter appears behind Kage, fully recovered but with a bored expression on his face.
"That's a pretty good attack, but I'm bored now. I think it's time to fight the beast king now."
Kage wants to react, but thanks to Hunter's malice technique, Kage is moving too slowly to react.
"Damn it, I can't do anything."
Hunter takes his fist and shoves it right through Kage's ribs.
"... Ahh...Ahh..."
"You're lucky you were fun to fight, or I would have ended you right now, but I'll take mercy on you and let you think about life as you lose your life, hahaha!"
Hunter pulls his fist out of Kages rib, leaving a huge hole. When Hunter completely removes his fist, Kage's blood splatters everywhere in range. Hunter throws Kage's body on the ground and walks away, leaving him to die.
"Hahaha, now that's done, it's time to kill and devour the beast king."
As Hunter walks away happily with his victory, he gets stopped by one last obstacle.
"!?"
Hunter sees a badly beaten Wayne with his blade in hand standing in his way.
"Hehehe, I see you're still alive, huh? Well, you don't look too alive with that expression on your face. Hey, hello, are you going to say something?"
With a weak voice and an even weaker fighting stance, Wayne responds to Hunter.
"I...will not...let you...anywhere near... my pops!"
