Flat-Brim Samurai Chapter 29
The last guy stood and said ,"I don't want any trouble man" but Apollo stated in his most matter of fact tone ,"You should've thought of that before joining a so-called 'gang' and stealing my raccoon" WHAM…
Apollo said ,"Well, I got about 4 more floors to clear, let's make this fast and simple" and then he ran up the stairs as fast as he could. He reached the top of the first floor of stairs, which led him to another group, smaller than the last but definitely stronger. But even still, the strength between all of them wasn't enough to stop Apollo. He mowed through his opponents with relative ease, not getting hit once. He was so strong compared to them in fact that just the air pressure alone from his punches usually hit them first before his fist. His physical strength was so immense compared to them as well that even if most of them used their full power it would just take about 5-10% of Apollo physical strength to defeat them.
He ran up to the next flight of stairs and just like the last, there were less people but they were stronger still. The higher he got, the stronger the energy he felt that could only be from one person, this supposed Noah Beckett. If the ki he felt now was this strong just from his presence, he would definitely be an opponent that couldn't be taken lightly. But not right now, Apollo had to focus on the challenge in front of him, which caused him to use more and more of his strength. Apollo weaved inside and outside of the strikes his opponent gave him, landing counterattacks of his own. After a little bit he was on the third floor, which was similar to the last, he just slammed opponents off the ground with about 50% of his physical strength.
But it was too good to be true, because the next floor he entered being the fourth, there were only 4 guys with very good levels of power. A round guy named Malachi with a pork belly and brass knuckles, a skinny guy named Viktor with a staff, a guy with a slightly muscular build named Draven that had a wooden bat, and finally a very muscular guy named Xander who wielded a… spinning top as a weapon? Apollo looked at the 4 realizing they all had relative strength except for the skinny guy whose power he still couldn't comprehend yet. But the funny thing was that the guy with the spinning top was actually the strongest here and Apollo said while pointing at him ,"You guys look strong but I have a question, how is that a weapon?" and the guy only had one thing to say ,"Don't you underestimate the power of my Cyclotron" and Apollo replied ,"OK, buddy." and without another moment's notice they started the fight.
Apollo pulled out his bokken and darted towards Malachi, thrusting towards his stomach. A hit sent him sliding back about 2 meters dispersing the ground, making him spit out some saliva. Xander pulled the string on his spinning top and sent it flying outwards aimed at Apollo's head, but he moved out of the way just in time, noticing the intense speed of the supposed toy (What is that thing?) he thought. Right then, Viktor thrusted his staff at Apollo, Apollo yet again dodging and blocking until BLAM BLAM BOOM. He hit Viktor with a roundhouse to the ribs, cracking some of them, sending him flying as well into a pillar. Draven jumped up in the air, swinging down with intense force, but was yet again blocked by Apollo, which resulted in the floor cracking due to the force pushing downwards onto it. Apollo said to him ,"You think that much would get me, please." Apollo grabbed both sides of his bokken and wrapped it around Draven like a roller coaster bar and pulled him in, striking up with his knee to intercept Draven's stomach BAAAAAM. The impact created a shockwave that dispersed in all directions, making a large boom, distorting the air and making a cracking sound most horrifying.
