 As Orie watched Shin, he heard the voices of the gods saying "Time up. It's his turn now." and the markings on body faded away. Then he snapped his fingers and was immediately dressed like his normal self with the overcoat and scarf and backed away. 

  Shin grabbed Endo and jumped out of the pit then put him in a sitting position and said to him "I need you to listen to me"

  The rage inside Endo was too much. there was no way he was going to comply with the man that massacred his entire kingdom but that wasn't the only reason. Everyone; including Shin found it strange that throughout the entire ordeal, he didn't utter any word. If anyone was as enraged as Endo was he would have at least let out some the rage verbally and even if his mind was in disarray, a thousand years alone was quite enough to come up with a meticulous plan to exact his revenge. But for some reason every decision Endo made so far was crude as if he didn't even care about revenge. It was as if his objective was to kill without reason.

  The one thing that people who seek revenge have in common is the fact that they get obsessed with their targets. They try to look for weaknesses and watch out for strengths but most of all, they are obsessed with finding out what would make their opponents suffer. 

  It is a known fact that no avenger would grant his enemy an easy death but Endo's actions seemed to be disproving of this fact. Every one of his strikes was aimed at finishing the battle quickly even when he was strong enough to bully his opponent.

  There were two conclusions that one would jump into when in this situation. The first was that revenge wasn't his main aim and that there was something more important to him that he could gain from killing Shin. This could explain why he kept striking with decisive blows. The second conclusion correlates with the first with the exception of the fact that Endo wasn't really in control of his own actions. Someone else was using his rage as a means to try and get rid of Shin and It was quite obvious who it was:The order

  Shin was aware of the existence of an ability that caused uncontrollable rage. It didn't require any form of control or mastery all the caster had to do was to infuse his target with a dose of uncontrollable rage. What makes this power scary is that not even the the caster has control of what the receiver does and since it doesn't require any form of control it may as well be infinitely powerful. The receiver decides who to take out his rage on and if the caster is lucky their targets might be the same. This spell is most effective when the receiver already has someone in mind and in Endo's case, it was super effective. 

  The only known means of breaking the spell was for Endo to let out all the rage. If that didn't work, they would have to beat the living shit out of him until he regained his senses. 

  "let's do this" Shin said as he doused Endo's suit with enough lightning to fully charge it. "This energy should match the rage" he said to himself "with this he should be able to let it all out" he thought as he backed away slowly from the awakening Endo. 

  Slowly, Endo stood up and looked at the man in front of him and with little hesitation he rushed to attack. even he wasn't as fast as Shin but he was fast enough stop him from from launching any counter attacks. 

  The battle was kept at a stalemate in accordance to Shin's plan but Endo's rage couldn't let things stay that way. Not even up to a minute into the battle, Endo abruptly created a huge distance between him and Shin. Before Shin could close the gap, Endo stabbed his sword into the ground and yelled out "IRON LEGION!!!!" and immediately, there was an army standing right in front of Shin. At this point, Shin without doubt admitted that he had messed up.

  No one expected this 

  They knew Endo was kinda pissed 

  But they forgot to check his power 

  And it all kinda led to this. 

  Aside the fact they were facing an army, something else was bothering Victor. 

  "Shiro, are you seeing this?!!"

  "of course I am, who isn't?!!"

  Right in front of them stood no ordinary army. It was surprising enough that a guy from a thousand years ago wore a suit of armour that surpassed the technology of the current era, but for him to have an advanced robot army; that was just too much to handle. 

  The robots didn't carry swords; this became known to everyone when they started running from the lasers that shot out of the robot's hands. 

  "Shin you should've at least seen this coming" Shiro yelled amidst the rain of lasers 

  "Well I never really fought the guy" Shin replied with a shrug

   "I basically just used the spell immediately I saw him"

  "And why the f**k would you do that?!!" Shiro yelled

  "I don't know" Shin replied

   "maybe it's because the whole f**king island was sinking and that was the only way to save him"

  "oooh"

  "oooooh"

  "Anyway" Shiro said

  "let's destroy these advanced metal scraps"

  Not really much was said after then

  Shiro and Shin rushed into battle 

  and the others followed after them 

 Shiro smiled as he put on his headphones and let the rhythms flow. Others also got battle ready; Mia had swords on standby, Yamato had his clones ready as he set up a barrier to stop anyone from leaving the area(this was done under Orie's Instructions), while Orie was busy doing something Tanaka couldn't understand. 

  "What are you doing?" Tanaka asked as she watched Orie walk around her multiple times. 

  "I'm setting up a barrier" Orie replied as he bent down and touched the floor. 

  "around me?" she asked 

  "yes" Orie replied as he watched the crystal clear barrier surround Tanaka and stood up. 

  "Nothing can get in, nothing can get out. This applies to you too." he said as he walked to go join the fight. 

  Shin seemed to be faring well against the robots but that wasn't the case for the Others. The robots were highly tolerant to lighting and this made things hard for Shiro. Shin had the strength and speed to dismantle each of the robots within seconds but was having a really hard time since physical attacks were his only option. 

  The robots also had very tough armour. even Mia's swords had a hard time getting through. Each blade she pulled out was either broken or blunted after few strikes and at rate she was going, she wasn't far away from exhaustion. 

  Victor wasn't afraid of exhaustion. He was doing just fine. He was teleporting all over the place and every robot that aimed at him ended up shooting his fellow soldiers. The only problem he had was the one that he shared with everyone except for Shin: There was no end to the Iron legion. 

  Yamato's issue was also the same Victor's but Orie had it worse than any one else; he was the one facing Endo. 

  "Isn't it about time you used those your godly powers?" Shiro yelled 

  "It doesn't work that way" Orie replied

  "what do you mean?" Shiro asked

  "I can only use them when I'm doing something for the gods and right now I'm not" Orie answered

  "I saw you using them last time, what were you doing for doing for the gods then?" Shiro answered

  "saving you" Orie answered

  "And what do I have to do with the gods?" Shiro asked

  "you are Amadioha's thunder"

  After hearing Orie's answer to his question the only thing could come out of Shiro's mouth was "ehhh?"

    Although Kaen was dealt many heavy blows during the match, the thing that ultimately brought him down was exhaustion. By the time the match was over, the only thing he had the strength to do was breathe. It was a great fight and he enjoyed every bit of it but he woke up in a hospital bed wondering if it was worth all the aching that he felt with every slight movement.He kept replaying it in his head, how he completely lost the fight."And she held back till the end" he said out loud with a short breath."a true monster" he added"I really do pity her next opponent" Kaen said out loud and immediately began to hear a muffled laughter from beside him. He looked and saw Orie lying on the bed beside him and for a brief moment, the two men stared at each other in awkward silence until Kaen got the joke and burst into his own stream of laughter. Their laughter filled the room and they continued even though their bodies were aching severely."WHY DO YOU REJECT ME? " a voice said to Natsumi.

His eyes were heavy, his voice was inaudible, he could feel his consciousness fading but he kept on praying.He had thought that he had enough strength to keep up the prayer but his condition was worse than he had thought it was."I'm sorry" he said as he fell to his knees and went silent.As the paramedics were rushing to take Orie away the thing that he was trying to keep under control broke free and took over Natsumi.Kaen tried to call back his flames but they were sniffed out as soon as they came in.

    "Who should I fear more?" Kaen wondered"Is it the monster that makes me shudder""Or is it the vessel that contains it?"As Kaen prepared to engage his opponent, all that he could think of was the fear that he felt. He could not forget it.Not many remember it but there was once a great incident that took place in Fubuki island. It was an incident that almost claimed the lives of all who lived on the island.A great frost, so cold that no flame could resist, quickly spreading and freezing everything in its path. In the dark winter night when many slept, this frost came along to take their breath.Somehow, everyone woke up in their beds the next morning with no recollection of the past twelve hours. This event sparked many rumors and among them was the rumour that the residents died and were brought back, proponents of this rumor backed their claims by speculating a tragic event within the twelve hours period.That night came to be known as the night where men slept.
