Demons Battle

Can we do this?

“What happened?”

“What’s wrong with the screen?”

“Hey come on! Why turn off the screen at the fun part?”

“We’re gonna miss it!”

There was an uproar in the whole arena. The whole voices of the audience in the arena sounded with outrage.

They all seemed to be complaining about the current blank Big screen. The screen unexpectedly stopped projecting the scenes of the fight right after the explosion.

The explosion happened right after Hideyo was about to land the finishing blow so it was quite a tensed scene. Everybody was really anticipating to see what had happened. Did they knock out Hideyo? Did Hideyo dodge the attack? What caused the explosion? Is Group C winning?

Everybody in the crowd had different questions on their mind and all they could do now was stare at the big screen displaying white and irregular spots of black while making a buzzing sound. To them it was a very huge turn off at very tensed moment of the fight.

With a crowd protesting against the unexpected outcome of the screen, nobody actually tried to think with logic. Nobody even stopped to think that the explosion might have costed the camera to go off.

Either way not everybody in the arena was part of the ruckus. The trio who came with Gabriel were still sitting calm on their seats.

Machia’s was still seating between John and Tom. His expression was quite stupid as usual. He sat there with a stupid expression while folding his arm while John and Tom were just sitting at his side.

They were all just looking at the stubborn crowd. There was a sour expression on John’s face while Tom expression was just blank.

The three of them all had a different reactions to the crowd and everything was peaceful between them except for the noise coming from the  enraged crowd. That was till when Machia decided to open his mouth.

“Hmm..it looks like our boy is beginning to take his styles from me?” Machia’s said in a boastful manner.

“What do you mean?” John quickly retorted. Machia and John seemed to have a relationship of always disagreeing right from day one. If Machia said A, John would say B. When Machia takes one side of an argument, John immediately takes the other competing side. It was to say that they just never agreed on anything.

“He got into the scene in a well fashionable style. Landing at the time His team mate needed him the most. Although he was late but that made his appearance more cool”

John’s expression suddenly became blank before he belatedly said “Don’t you think you should be worried about your student rather than thinking of how cool he was appearing in the scene?”

“What the hell is wrong with you? Why should I be worried? I thought him so he’s going to be okay.” Machia shrieked and looked away.

“It’s because you thought him that’s exactly why I’m worried!”

“Huh? Are you saying that I’m a terrible teacher? You brat!”

Tom noticed that their usual argument had started again. He watched both Machia and John screaming at each other as tried to stopped them with a silly expression on his face.

“Um.. can we all..calm down for a sec guys?”

“No I’m not gonna calm down! I have had it with this guy!”

“Hey sshhh... quite the fight is back on”

“Come shut up you guys so that we can keep watching!”

“Huh?” Machia belatedly stopped speaking right after the interruption of the nearby fans sitting with them.

It was at that moment they both realized that there were no longer noise anymore. The whole crowd who were disturbing a moment ago were all seating quitely as they stared at the Big screen.

The Big screen was already displaying again. They were the only nuisance at the moment.

Machia laughed inwardly as he stared at the scream “My my when did I turn into kid that disturbs in a cinema?”

‘What’s going on there? Hmm it’s obviously clear what’s going on. My actual question is how are you going to take down your strong  opponent Gabriel?’

***

“...huff huff huff” Gabriel was seen standing while breathing really heavily. A cold sweat dripped right down his face to form a bubble below his chin. Gabriel tried to catch his breath as he stared at the scenery in front of him.

The whole area was filled with steam from his bionic arm and there were also dust.

The Whole area was covered with dust due to the air pressure from Gabriel’s explosive burst. There was the shattered ground where he was currently standing on. There was also dust blowing in the air from where Hideyo was. It was obvious Hideyo crashed right into the tunnel wall.

Gabriel’s previous unexpected attack was so strong that he shot Hideyo away. Even a powered human would feel the decline in his or her body after such a strong attack but that was not the case for Hideyo.

Everyone knew that it wasn’t over yet. The Group and both the fans in the arena all knew this.

Sora appeared close to Gabriel and asked “Did you get him?”

“Yeah. That should keep him down for a while”Gabriel said as he clenched his fist with a glimpse of satisfaction on his face. The feeling of satisfaction didn’t last for more than a second when he heard Agatha alertedly screamed

“Don’t let your guard down! Not even for a second! We are dealing with Hideyo here. To him that your attack was just a scratch. So stay focused!”

Gabriel facial expression became stiffened at this moment. He heard about Hideyo from Sora and Agatha on his way here. Yes he was expecting Hideyo to be strong but nobody should be able to get back up immediately from such an attack.

Gabriel knew he gave everything he had on that last attack. In short, that was his Strongest attack. He once used this attack to crush a big Boulder into piles of rock pieces during training. That was the strongest power of explosive burst he could siphon out so no matter how strong Hideyo is. No Matter how fast he heals. Gabriel believed that Hideyo won’t be standing back up for a while.

That was an attack that could kill a person. He only used the attack because of what he heard about Hideyo’s super regenerative ability.

Technically that was a bomb compressed in his fists so Hideyo should not be standing soon. Not at least till a minute has passed by. That is if he really heals fast as they say but it wasn’t the case. His group members saw how strong his attack was just now but they were not showing any feeling of relief in anyway.

Their rigid stances could convey it. Sora and Agatha was afraid. Gabriel had to wonder “... Just How strong is this guy?”

Gabriel quickly looked at the beat-up Danny. Just looking at Danny he thought about it even more. Danny’s ability was shield. His shield didn’t allow any attack to permeate his body but right now Danny was the one looking all bruised up and injured.

Anyone who could see Danny now would doubt he has such an ability called shield. Gabriel stared at Danny in awe. It was as if he was admiring the Handiwork of a skilled fighter.

“Will you stop staring at me in an idle manner and give me a hand quickly.” Danny voice quickly broke Gabriel from his state of stunned confusion and bewilderment.

“Huh? Yeah I’m sorry” Gabriel belatedly replied as he extended his hand towards Danny who was sitting on the ground.

Danny grabbed Gabriel’s hand and helped himself off the ground.

“Are you still sure you can fight?” Gabriel asked with a concerned expression. Just looking at Danny’s state, nobody would make any complains if he decides to stand back and rest. Even Gabriel could identify Danny’s injuries. There was one swollen eye. A bleeding lip which was minor compared to his broken ribs. It won’t be wrong to say this guy probably had a ruptured organ just from looking at him.

However, Danny opened his mouth and looked into the Dusty scenery “We need all hands on deck to defeat that guy”

The more Gabriel saw the tensed expression in  his Group members the more he got the chills.

Speaking of his group members...

“Where’s Yua?” Gabriel quickly scanned the area for Yua.

“Umm...I’m here.” Yua approached from a dark spot with a shy expression.

Gabriel looked at her and noticed that there was hardly any injuries in her body. Just by looking at Yua he thought Danny must have done a really good job in defending Yua. That was till Danny said something that made him frightened even more.

“Gabriel this guy is strong. I’m not wrong when I say he was toying with me since. This guy had all the power to knock Yua out if he really wanted to.  Yet he still chose to toyed with us like pets. He toyed with just me to be specific”

“Is that so?” Agatha voice was heard as she chuckled before she continued speaking “That was a very big mistake on his part.”

“Huh? I thought you were the one who said we shouldn’t let out guard down a moment ago” Sora Immediately interrupted with a puzzled expression while he too was standing vigilantly.

“Fool! I wasn’t saying it like that to make you let your guard down. It is true Hideyo is strong but he has one weakness.”

“And What weakness is that?” Danny quickly asked with curiosity in eyes. He has been the one fight Hideyo ever since. Right now he just wished he knew this information from the very beginning at least that might have made things a little easier for him. All he had to depend on during his fight with Hideyo was his intuitions.

Agatha lips finally moved as she said “ Severing his head from his body”

‘It was just as I thought. That means I was right he really did dodged my attack because of that.’

After realizing this Danny was still curious to know something “ What will happen to him if his head gets cut off from his body?”

“That’s the thing he’s going grow back a new body like he grows his limbs. The only difference is that growing a new body takes longer. At that time of growing back a new body, he becomes more vulnerable than ever”

“...”

“You can even crush his head at that state if you want. But nobody has ever done that before so I’m sure they will consider him knocked out right after we sever his head.”

Sora suddenly smiled as he confidently interrupted “ Hmm. So we just have to  cut off his head right? That sounds like a job we all can do.”

Sora’s confidence and optimistic feeling all gave Group C the will and belief of winning. Yes their opponent was strong but they all believed  that even Hideyo number three can’t keep up with all of them together.

Right at this moment the whole group members all decided that they were going to have the head of Hideyo.

They all quickly looked towards the dusty view as they heard Hideyo giggling. Just from looking forward with all the dust in the air. They could now see Hideyo’s figure inside the dust.

Gabriel gulped as he noticed Hideyo’s figure ‘ it’s only being thirty seconds since I gave this guy my Strongest explosive burst. Yet, he’s already standing. He really is a monster’

The befouling dust had already started to clear up for Hideyo to come into sight. Hideyo stood with an amused expression. His whole body was all healed up as usual.

The attack Gabriel had landed on his body earlier was enough to break all the bones in a humans body whether it was a regular human or a powered human. However, Hideyo was standing tall with no scratches on his body.

Gabriel instantly remembered the moment when they all saw him fighting with Kim the number two member of The Strongest Five. They were both emitting strong pressure during their fight. Just their pressure was terrifying.

Just looking at Hideyo now only one thought crossed Gabriel’s mind ‘Seeing him close this up close, he’s even more terrifying than just feeling only him and Kim’s pressure before.’

Gabriel expression stiffened as he suddenly became aware of something ‘Besides speaking of pressure we don’t seem to be feeling any pressure from him yet.’

‘Shit’

“What the hell?”

“So he’s releasing this now?”

Gabriel and The group all struggled as they started feeling Hideyo’s pressure. It was like a huge mountain was resting on their shoulders.

Gabriel recalled feeling such a pressure like this from Arata but Hideyo’s pressure now was currently on a different level. It was even hard to move. Right now it was as if they were sinking right into the ground.

“What power. So he had this much power to overpower even the whole group C members combined?” Danny stared at Hideyo with an eyes of wonderment. His beaten up body couldn’t hold the pressure again as he fell to his kneels.

There was a dreadful look on his face. ‘This guy. there’s no more doubt about it. This guy definitely had the power to end the fight from the very beginning. Why wait till now?’

‘Did he really wanted to show us all the difference in strength between us and him? To even do such a thing in a scenario like this..’
