A wide-radius explosion from the arrow from Alex's crossbow has exploded on Hutogi. Leaving a huge dust and smoke behind. Alex, who thought he got him, is left speechless when he sees one of his allies protecting him.
"Yo~ You totally got caught off guard there ain't ya?" Rudy, defends Hutogi against the explosion using his blue shield. Aim his grenade launcher towards Alex. Rudy pulled the trigger, the bullet had been released.
The time moved in slow motion. Alex, tripped on his leg as he tried to run away. But tripping might actually saved his life as the bullet pass by his face as he falls. At least that's what he thought. In the midair, the yellow outline on the bullet has been changed to red. And then...
*BOOM!!!*
The explosion was right on top of Alex's face. Rudy, was pretty certain Alex was dead as he changed his sight to Ten who was still fighting Tenko. So, he controls the drone and shoots Ten from the side. But Ten could see it, as he kept his distance and hid behind Tenko as the drone was aiming at him.
The drone shot a few piercing bullets. But not on Ten, but on Tenko as she got caught in the crossfire. Even so, it's actually increased the aggressiveness from Tenko's masochistic. Tenko has been more aggressive as if she were a wild animal. Trying to maul Ten.
But Ten was as skillful as he was, dodging every attack from Tenko and Rudy's drone. As he dodged, he attacked, using his M9 from the distance, on Tenko's head. But only bullets weren't enough. Her thick skull was hard as an obsidian.
Rudy saw this as an opportunity and launched a few bullets from a grenade launcher. Covering both Ten and Tenko with smoke and dust.
"Corner him! Don't let him get away!"
Eden, survived after being pierced to the heart thanks to Rudy's Unique that can change liquid into a healing potion. Attacks Ten inside the smoke with his long spear.
But even being blinded by the smoke, Ten somehow was able to evade Eden's surprise attack. But Ten wasn't able to counterattack. Since one of Eden's allies follows through. Rudy, charged at Ten bare-handed. As Ten was in his range, he threw a punch or two.
*Boom!* *Boom!*
Like in his fights against Ryuma before, his punch leaves an explosion. Even so, Ten was unharmed as he kept his distance from Rudy. Ten, once again got cornered by none other than Hutogi. As Hutogi comes close, Ten parries his sword with his machete. If Ten tried to make a distance between them, Hutogi would still be able to slash Ten as he kept parrying.
The same goes for Eden as he uses wind slash on Ten. And Rudy who's launching a large amount of explosive on him. Everybody in the spectator room thought that Ten was cornered. But, there's one fact that they haven't knowledge.
Ten have never been hit once. The black coat he was wearing was only a little dirty caused by dust from an explosion. The three were still cornering Ten, and then there was Tenko who was coming from above. Giving a ground slam on Ten.
The ground shattered, and the dust covered the area. Ryuma who's watching from the spectator's room thought.
("Did they get him?!")
The dust is blown by the wind. And what they see is unimaginable. Ten, had one of his feet on Tenko's back, unharmed. As if that ground slam phase through Ten himself. But that's not where their eyes were fixed.
It was the metal pipe in his hand. Where and how did he get that metal pipe? That was a question written on their mind. Ten lifted his arm, and with the sharp part of the metal pipe, he pierced Tenko behind her head.
Like Ten thought, the pipe didn't go all the way through. As the skull was protecting Tenko's brain. But, the impact on the nerve system somehow makes Tenko unconscious as she falls on her front.
Hutogi, not letting Ten catch a breath, attacks Ten on sight he sees him. The machete and the blade, clash with one on another. The voice comes from Hutogi as they clashed...
"Look, how is it that you're weaker than me?! You are unscathed even being attacked by four of us?!"
"Four are just a number. I can read the attacks just fine. But, I didn't lie the fact I can't defeat you. Your strength, your speed, your perception, all of them are way above mine. To defeat the likes of you, I just need to wait until your guard down. Or wait until your energy runs out."
Ten keeps his distance from Hutogi, but Hutogi still tries to close his distance on Ten. And then, some kind of rope tied Hutogi's foot on the ground.
"That's why, I will do everything I can to defeat the current you." Ten said that as he took a syringe from his pocket, and injected himself on the neck. As Hutogi's eyes were on Ten, the figure stood beside them from a distance.
It was a guy in a black robe, Derugo. The palm of his hand was pointed towards between the two. And then, the purple lights gleamed from his palm. Second after, the purple-colored fire comes out and shoots the two with purple fire.
Hutogi had a fast reaction, as he cut the rope binding his leg and managed to avoid purple fire in time. Rudy who was aware of Derugo's presence tried to get rid of him. He fires a few missiles from his prosthetic arms. But, something is protecting Derugo from the missiles.
The small doll, holding an iron shield same as his size. Other than that, there are a few small dolls standing beside Derugo. Eden, closes his distance to Derugo by jumping over the dolls and attacking Derugo from the air but someone has come out from the ground to protect Derugo.
Rudy, was surprised by the sight of Alex's emergence coming out from the ground. Like the zombie rising up from the dead, that's his impression of Alex just now. For some reason, Alex didn't die from a head-on explosion.
After that, Rudy can feel the chill went down his spine. He immediately recognized this feeling. The certain creepy pink-haired girl, staring at him from the distance.
