Genji Mikazuki.
Seven years ago, there was a child who changed the course of history twice.
The first time was during the fight against a formidable opponent in a renowned world martial arts tournament, the Purge.
The second time was during the clash against a mysterious man who claimed himself as Lucifer.
That child is no other than Genji Mikazuki who goes by the name of Mikhail after the end of the battle.
So, when the mysterious attacker called Mikhail by his real name, everyone was stunned and speechless. Of course, they are stunned and speechless. This is because Genji Mikazuki died seven years ago during the climactic battle against Lucifer. At the end of battle, Mikhail killed Lucifer with a massive explosion that also consumed him.
Mikhail fired a repulsive force at the mysterious attacker who jumped away as Mikhail removed the sword that pierced through his chest. He dropped the sword and winced in pain as the wound on his chest slowly healed itself.
"You look terrible, Genji Mikazuki," the mysterious figure in a black tattered, hooded cloak, spoke in a soft feminine voice. "Mother told me that you are someone who never let his guard down but from what just happened…"
"Who are you?" Mikhail angrily asked the attacker.
The attacker responded by discarding her cloak, revealing herself as a very beautiful woman with a long layered dark haircut with bangs framing her face and a pair of dark purple, feline-like eyes.
When she took off her mask, Mikhail was shocked to the core. Immediately, he was hit by a series of flashbacks where he was tortured in countless brutal methods by someone who looks exactly like her. The woman noticed Mikhail's expression and chuckled.
"My name is Irina, the daughter of Lilith or who you would call Irene and Lucifer who died at the hands of yours," Irina introduced herself as she looked at the curious students and chuckled wryly. "What's wrong? Surprised to see my face?"
Mikhail burst out in anger and screamed at Irina, "What do you want from me!?"
Everyone was shocked when Mikhail screamed, especially Ammar who has never heard Mikhail raise his voice. Irina looked at Mikhail and smirked as she said,
"To bring you back to where you belong. We can do this the easy way which is you surrender yourself peacefully and crawl to me like a dog or the hard way."
Mikhail narrowed his single eye and asked, "What's the hard way?"
Irina grinned when Mikhail asked that question. She raised her right hand that possesses three misshapen-fingers and immediately a long urumi coated in sinister purple energy appeared.
"The hard way? I drag your limbless, half-dead body to my mother after you watch every single filthy creature here die," Irina said to Mikhail with a wicked grin. "Your choice, Genji. The fate of these people is in your hands."
The young man with a lone dark eye said nothing and then looked at Ammar and Camy. He then shifted his attention to Irina and took a fighting stance. Without wasting any time, Mikhail charged at Irina.
As for everyone, they all gasped at Mikhail's inhuman speed. They witnessed how Mikhail fought Irina who avoided all his attacks and then swung the blade-like whips. Mikhail barely avoided it and landed a kick to Irina's waist which was blocked by the weapon.
'That weapon is seriously difficult to avoid. I need to be very careful while fighting her.' Mikhail thought to himself before continuing the battle.
While the two were fighting, the students with the expression of a mix excitement and fear, scrambled to capture the fight with their smartphones. Some even broadcast the fight on social media, which caught the attention of Malaysia's government.
"I can't believe Mikhail is Genji Mikazuki."
"Believe it now because look at him! He's fighting with someone who has a freaking whip-like blade!"
"But Mikhail seems to be pressured by her."
"Oh God, I don't want to die! I can't die yet! My parents want to see their grandchildren!"
Unlike everyone else, Ammar couldn't help but to feel worried seeing Mikhail struggling to fight against Irina and even received several slashes from her. He gritted his teeth and shouted as hard as he could.
"Mika! You can do this! We believe in you!"
Mikhail wiped away the blood from the corner of his lips and looked at Ammar while panting heavily. He touched his wounded chest and slowly stood up while wincing in pain. The weapon seems to have slowed down his regenerative ability.
"Oh, peasant. You don't have to encourage him because he is not going to win this battle. He is fighting a losing battle." Irina insulted Mikhail and then attacked him, but at the very last minute, she changed her target to Ammar.
Mikhail reacted quickly by running towards Ammar and blocking the weapon with his arms that coated in his energy. Although he blocked it by reinforcing his guard with his immense energy, Irina's urumi managed to land several shallow cuts on his arms. Mikhail also felt extreme pressure on his arms, realizing that the weapon is heavier than it looks.
The energy that coated Mikhail's arm and took the appearance of dark blue flame is called the Mystic Energy. Humans have Mystic Energy since the energy was connected to their life-force but not everyone can manipulate it.
There are rare cases where someone's Mystic Energy carries a special trait that can give advantage during a fight. In the case of Mikhail, his Mystic Energy capacity knows no limit.
In other words, Mikhail's Mystic Energy is limitless.
Despite having a limitless energy, Mikhail is unable to fully utilize it due to two reasons. He was wounded by the whip-like weapon which also messed up his regenerative ability and he never trained over the last seven years.
Mikhail quickly knocked away the weapon and extended his left arm forward, firing a powerful repulsive force at point-blank range. Irina was knocked away and crashed into a burger stall as her weapon dropped near Mikhail's feet. After destroying it with another repulsive force, Mikhail rushed towards Irina and punched her.
"!!"
Instead of Irina, it was a gas cylinder. He saw a smiling Irina who whispered "boom" and immediately an explosion occurred, knocking Mikhail away. Irina giggled but then frowned when she realized that Mikhail directed the explosion to himself so that no one would be injured.
"Saving these foul creatures that are made from mud instead of yourself? Mother was right, you really prioritize everyone else instead of yourself," Irina smirked and then watched the now badly injured Mikhail who's on his knee. "You are truly a cursed child."
Mikhail groaned in pain and slowly stood up, making Irina clap her hands. She then began to launch herself at Mikhail. The two engaged in fierce hand-to-hand combat in which Irina demonstrated her superior fighting skills as well as inhuman speed and agility while Mikhail showed that he was still capable of fighting despite suffering serious injuries.
Irina created a dagger made from blood-like substance and tried to stab Mikhail. The young man avoided the attempt and kicked her in the gut, followed by a spinning back kick to Irina's face.
'He's getting faster and stronger. Amazing…' Irina thought to herself as she thrust the dagger, aiming for his gut.
Mikhail spun to avoid it and then grabbed Irina's arm, prompting her to kick him in the chest. The injured Mikhail retaliated with a punch to her face and avoided several stabbings by Irina. After dodging the final stab, Mikhail thrust his palm to Irina's throat and tried to take away the dagger.
Irina violently pulled the dagger, drawing a large cut on Mikhail's palm. She smirked and extended her left arm, causing the blood that seeped from the gash on Mikhail's palm to burst out and form several tentacles that trapped Mikhail.
The daughter of Lilith gave a sadistic smile and pointed her index and middle fingers at Mikhail. In an instant, Mikhail received numerous invisible slashes that gravely injured him. Irina then punched Mikhail in the chest which resulted in the young man falling to the ground.
She threw the dagger at Mikhail's left hand, pinning him to the ground. He tried to blast Irina away only for Lilith's daughter crushed his free hand. Irina then brutally stomped Mikhail's chest a few times until a loud bone-snapping sound could be heard by everyone.
"AARGHH!!" Mikhail screamed in agony but then Irina pressed his throat with her foot as she conjured a large cleaver. "Ngghh…"
"I am going to enjoy cutting you into several pieces," Irina said to Mikhail, unaware that Ammar stood behind her with a chair. "Stay still, dog."
Ammar slammed down the chair on Irina's head as hard as he could. Although she was unfazed because she wasn't a human, Irina was extremely pissed. With one swift motion, her left hand latched to Ammar's throat and lifted him into the air.
"YOU INSOLENT CREATURE! HOW DARE YOU HIT ME FROM BEHIND?!"
Ammar held Irina's wrist with both hands to keep himself from choking to death, but it was getting harder to breathe. He could feel her sharp nails digging deeper into his skin as his eyes started to roll up.
"I AM GOING TO CHOP YOU INTO PIECES AND FEED TO MY DOG!" Irina yelled in anger at Ammar. She looked at him and then…
Ammar spat on her face and smirked.
This completely caused her to explode in anger. Irina brutally jammed her misshapen fingers into Ammar's right eye and ripped it out. She then crushed the eyeball and then hurled Ammar at the nearby pillar, knocking him out cold.
Suddenly, Irina sensed a massive output of Mystic Energy which everyone also could feel. She turned around and saw an angry Mikhail standing up with most of his injuries immediately healed.
Ripping out the bandages around his right eye, Mikhail angrily stated,
"I am going to kill you the same way I did to your old man!"
