As JacQuarius stepped into the dimly lit hallway, the memories of betrayal and pain flooded his mind.
It has been months since Daniel's treachery led to his downfall, costing JacQuarius not only his best friend and family but also his right eye, a cruel sentiment taken by Daniel's master in their past confrontation.
The hallway seemed to echo with whispers of past grievances as JacQuarius clenched his fists, determination fueling his every step forward.
His remaining eye scanned the shadows, anticipating the confrontation he had long awaited.
But what gripped JacQuarius's heart with a mix of rage and horror was the scene unfolding before him.
Daniel loomed over Tela, a trusted friend now at the mercy of Daniel's wrath. With a blade poised to strike, Daniel's intentions were clear – to extinguish the life of another ally of JacQuarius without hesitation.
JacQuarius's breath caught in his throat as he grappled with the tumultuous emotions swirling within him, knowing that he stood at a pivotal moment where past grievances collided with present choices.
"Long Time, No See My friend. Hahaha!"
Daniel began to laugh hysterically as he stared at his former best friend.
"Get the fuck off my nigga Tela, and fight me nigga. Been waiting to catch yo ass for the longest, what's poppin now nigga?"
"Come on man, can't we talk this out? Maybe even recover our former friendship"
Daniel retorts in a sarcastic tone.
Tela then pops up and grabs Daniel's arms, holding him down.
JacQuarius takes advantage of the situation and immediately charges at him, tagging Daniel with straight gut punches.
BOW!
BOW!
BOW!
BOW!
BOW!
JacQuarius served out various relentless punches, while Daniel sat there smiling with not even an ounce of fear.
Nigga Style: kin'iroen Fist!
JacQuarius assaults Daniel's stomach with a full force black fire fist, sending both him and Tela flying into the emergency exit door, knocking Tela unconscious.
Daniel gets up like nothing happened, chuckles a little bit, and then looks JacQuarius directly in the eye.
JacQuarius seeing Daniel's eyes, begins to feel extreme fear.
His eyes weren't normal, they were serpent-like.
Thoroughly prepared, Daniel silently activated his enhancement skill: Dragonheart Resonance.
None of JacQuarius's punches harmed him, due to his body enhancement.
"That look fits you perfectly, snake ass nigga. I'm getting it back in blood for Lil Joey right here."
"Monkeys never learn their lesson do they?"
They both charged at each other, preparing to fight to the death.
Ian and Kiyomi couldn't help but watch the situation, as one was in a terrible condition while the latter was shaking from intense fear.
Nigga Style: Roar Of The Black Dragon!
JacQuarius turned around and activated his shout.
He then turned 180 degrees and formed a kick, flying at intense speed.
Daniel caught JacQuarius by the leg slammed him on the ground, and began to beat him.
BOOM!
KICK!
SLAM!
POW!
POW!
"AHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!"
JacQuarius screamed as he was taking a serious beating.
The fight was completely one-sided, it should be quite obvious as Daniel is Bronze 8th Layer, while JacQuarius is only the 4th Layer.
Hit after hit, after hit, after hit, was connecting with JacQuarius's face.
"We need to help him or he's going to die."
Ian then turned his hands into Phantom form, escaping the rubber bands.
"Kiyomi, hand me a gun I'm going in to help."
"Not yet, let me heal you first. Friend or Foe, we need your help right now. That guy is too strong, and he hasn't even released his full strength yet, this is just his warmup, once he goes all out, we're finished. It'll only take about 10 minutes to heal you, if you try anything I'll kill you myself."
Healing Style: Regenera!
Midnight had awoken and began to heal Ian.
Midnight learned a few healing skills from the Yakuza, which turned out to help him in the long run.
"Hurry up nigga, or he is gonna die."
"I'm going as fast as I can, there's nothing else we can do in this condition but hope he can last long enough for us to recover."
As they began to recover, JacQuarius was still taking a serious beating.
"How does it feel? Does it feel Good? Are you happy monkey? Stupid monkey, I'M GONNA KILL YOU!!!"
Daniel lashes out in extreme anger, beating JacQuarius even more Ruthlessly.
Dragon Style: Obsidian Dragon Claw!
Daniel's left hand turned into a huge dragon, latching onto JacQuarius and holding him up in the air.
"You just gonna act like you fucking can't hear me!?! I'm gonna make you feel the pain I felt when you left me back at that store!"
POW!
POW!
POW!
POW!
POW!
Daniel began thrashing JacQuarius with punches to his face.
His nose was broken, teeth falling out, his single eye was shut, and a mixture of blood and tears was flowing down his face.
"I'm going to give you a taste of what they did to me that night. First, they beat me like this when I refused to tell them anything. Next, they began to burn my arm with a torch!"
Dragon Style: Searing Exhalation!
With a menacing growl, Daniel drew upon the depths of his power, unleashing a torrent of searing flames from deep within.
The intense heat engulfed JacQuarius's arm in a relentless inferno, causing him to scream out in agony as the fire consumed his flesh.
The flames danced with an ethereal intensity, leaving behind a trail of blistering destruction in their wake.
JacQuarius's anguished cries echoed through the air, a stark testament to the ferocity of Daniel's dragon-like breath unleashed upon him.
"Daniel I'm sorry, nigga I'm sorry. Just stop nigga, I give up. Just kill me already, I can't see, I can barely hear and my whole body is in excruciating pain."
"Oh so now the monkey can talk? Your death will be long and slow, first, let me start with your friends here."
Daniel then looked around, noticing Midnight Healing Ian, but paying no mind to it. As none of them, could go head to head with him.
"Eenie Meenie, Miney moe, Catch a monkey by his toe, If he hollers let him go, I...Choose....You!"
Daniel then pointed at Midnight and began to charge at him.
Dragon Style: Gallant Leap!
Daniel dropped JacQuarius to the floor, instantly leaping to Midnight and Ian.
JacQuarius then attempted to stand up, but immediately fell back down to his knees. Tears dropping to the floor, he felt like a straight bitch!
God Rank Artifact: Buddha's Love!
Daniel leaped face-first into the barrier, falling to the floor and looking dumbfounded.
"Mrs.Nahihara had this artifact, did she die? Or maybe they have her hostage? Either way, this artifact makes things 10 times more difficult. Sigh!"
The barrier then dissipated, and Kiyomi, after activating the barrier then deactivating the barrier, threw the artifact to JacQuarius.
Daniel pounced off the floor like a cat, catching the Artifact mid-air, and beginning to chuckle.
"HE FELL FOR IT!"
Kiyomi yelled.
A few seconds later, Ian's clone appeared from JacQuarius's Shadow.
Ghost Style: Ghost Hand!
Daniel was now as the saying goes "stuck between a rock and a hard place."
Taking both Ghost hands directly damaged his spirit, completely countering his enhancement skill.
Daniel's Dragonheart Resonance enhanced all his physical features but weakened his mental state like his soul.
Daniel's enhancement skill immediately ended, he collapsed to the floor dropping the artifact and gasping for breath like he was having an asthma attack.
Ian and His clone didn't let up, firing off countless ghost hands, not giving him even a second to recover.
7 minutes later
Far Far Away,
"I have to go, something happened to my student."
An Old man hopped up off the couch and began to walk towards the door hurriedly.
"Lord Chenjao, where are you going? You could at least finish the tea my wife made for us. Leaving now is a direct insult to me and my Status,"
Chenjao didn't utter a single word as he rushed out of the door.
