5.Our battle is going to be LEGEND…WAIT FOR IT..DARY

The minotaur bent to pick up its broken weapon. Seeing it the minotaur was confused. Looking at his confused opponent Akira understood if he wanted to enjoy this fight he would have to give the minotaur a strong weapon. Looking through his inventory he found it. The weapon was one of his most prized possession. Taking it out he threw it. The weapon was like a big Japanese kitchen knife. In place of the handle, there was only white cloth.

Lifting up the minotaur swings the knife a few times. When it got comfortable. It readied for the fight. Akira also readied for the fight he looked intensely toward the opponent fearing missing his move. As the two opponents wait for the other to move a drop of blood falls from Akira's hair to the ground.

Drip!BOOM!

With a bang, the minotaur was the first to move. All Akira saw was a small burst in the LCL pool and the next second the minotaur was in front of him. Seeing the attack he held his sword horizontally with one hand and used the other hand to support the back side of the blade to brace for the impact.

BANG!

The impact was more powerful than he expected. It was as if the minotaur wanted to bisect Akira just as he did to him.

Drip!Drip!

Looking at the blood flowing at the edge of zangetsu and the wound on his shoulder. Akira laughed and ask "What the hurry we are just getting started".

Roar!

Minotaur placed more pressure on the sword. Cracks started appearing on the ground under Akira's feet. Seeing Asterius's exceptional strength. Akira slanted his sword left. Sliding the opponent's sword off. He stabs straight into the minotaur's head. But the unexpected happened minotaur grasped his sword with his left hand and using his right hand fired one of the most iconic attacks in anime history Getsuga Tenshou.

BOOM!

An attack at such close range Akira didn't have time to dodge. Taking the whole attack head-on.

Seeing the attack coming towards them the Loki family dodged.

"That was instant magic with the power of at least a level 3 magician" Lefiya thought while being carried by Tione.

"Tsk!Looks like it's over. I told you it was still too much for the weakling" Smelling the scent of fresh blood Bete speaks.

When the dust settled what they saw surprised them. Akira was still standing but all the things above his waist were evaporated only the bones remained. Seeing the damage Ais readied her sword to exact revenge. But suddenly she heard a voice.

Badump! Badump!

It was the sound of a heartbeat. Looking toward the skeleton she saw a heart beating in its ribcage. And then something impossible happened. The hand of the skeleton moved. It pulled its sword from minotaur's hand and swung it to kill the Minotaur.

Ting!

With the collision of the blades, the fight had started again. Akira was not stunned by the damage. His whole focus was on fighting. The instant he regenerated his heart and brain he was fully able to use his body. Even without his muscle, he could move his hands. Even before regenerating his eyes, he started fighting only using his instincts. While his body and haori regenerated he start fighting with his new strength.

After a few minutes, the rest of the Loki Familia reached Ais's group. What awaited them was a floor full of blood. A lake filled with blood, a lot of monsters standing on one side and Ais's group on one side. In the middle of them, a roaring Minotaur and a kid with a maniacal laugh are fighting. Both seem to have a speed around level 6 with the minotaur being more powerful and the kid being more agile.

Reaching the Ais getting the information. The senior adventurers all arrived at the same conclusion buff magic most probably from the music box. Looking back at the fight they were serious that the winner of this fight may decide the future of Orario. While all the adventurers were looking at the fight.Hearing the conclusion Ais eyes were alternating between the fight and jukebox. Cause the jukebox contained the most important thing 'Power'.

While the Loki familia were watching the show for free. Akira was fighting an uphill due to his teaching skill Asterius's fighting skills were getting better and better. Asterius also had better strength. Seeing this Akira decided to use his speed to his full advantage he started using pillars as jumping boards and just like the ant king fought Isaac Netero in HXH he started to attack Asterius from all directions.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

Their speeds were so fast other than Finn, Gareth and Riveria others could only see a blur passing by. Both Asterius and Akira had reached the realm of level 7. During the attack, Asterius grasped Akira's sword with his left hand and swung another getsuga tenshou with his right hand.

"Not this time!" Akira said, he used his sword as an anchor and pulled himself above dodging the incoming magic wave. Suddenly Asterius swung his left hand swinging Akira with it. Due to the force, Akira couldn't hold the sword and his hand slipped. He flew to the roof, putting his feet on the roof he looked up at Asterius and jumped with all his strength toward him. Reaching him he covered Asterius's face with his hand and slammed him into the ground.

BOOM!

He took his sword from Asterius's grasp and stabbed straight toward Asterius's neck. But Asterius blocked it with zangetsu and he pushed Akira away with a swing of his sword. Akira slid away making two grooves on the ground, Asterius stood up as his dislocated neck healed. Just as Akira took a step he felt off-balance.

Crack!

The ground under his feet broke with his strength but more importantly, his leg broke. His strength has increased so much that his body can't even move without breaking itself apart.

"Looks like this the end. My best friend" Akira said with a sigh.

Roar!!!

"Yeah, Yeah. I will feel bad too. But let's not think about it. I have one last strike left. I am gonna give my all in it I hope you do too" Akira said with a smile.

ROAAAAR!!!!!!!!!!

A white liquid started flowing from Asterius's eyes and mouth. Soon the liquid covered his face and solidified into a bull-shaped mask.

[Item: Zangetsu (Rare)

Owner: Asterius

Material: Ichigo Kurosaki's blood + White's Reiryoku

Properties: Indestructible as Will, Getsuga Tenshō, Soul Bound, Berserk,Hollow form(Unlocked), Unknown(Locked)]

[Hollow form: User gets steel skin, cero, sonido and high-speed regeneration but requires a part of the mask to be on face(Only in the berserk state)]

Asterius get down on all four and a bloody red cero forms in the centre of his new white-clad horns. While the cero is being formed it uses Asterius mana plus all the mana in the surrounding even the magic stones mixed in the blood pool lose their magic power. All that power makes a basketball size cero contain enough power to wipe out the whole orario.

"Gareth in front. All the shieldmen get ready. Ais will use Ariel for defense. Bete, Tione, Tiona and Riveria take up the strongest shield you can find and come and stand with Gareth. Everybody else takes up anything you find and throw it in front of the shield wall to make a wall" Finn shouted.

"Every..thing even magic stones," Raul asked devastatingly.

"Everything!" Finn said in a serious tone.

In just three seconds everything was ready. In front, a small hill luggage containing magic stones, rare drops, a tent, a prison cell, food and everything in between Loki Familia could find. Behind it with Gareth in the centre Finn, Tione, and Tiona on his left and Riveria, Bete, , Raul on his right all holding shields. Behind Gareth, Ais stood with her hand on the sword with Lefiya and Naza by her side. All the others were behind them ready for the attack. Although they couldn't see the fight. The ominous red light plus their instinct were clearly telling them going out of the shield will mean certain death.

Looking at the cero Akira knew that his death was certain but he felt abnormally calm. Was it because he accepted death, No it was because he knew he was going to give it all and since he was going to give it his all he doesn't have to think about anything else. Taking a deep breath he holds his sword with two hands. Exhaling air he released his magic. A blue magic surrounds him and then it becomes a towering boom going straight impacting the roof.

"Ais?" Finn asked

"Not now!" Lefiya answered. Although she couldn't see she could feel it, the new magic power. If the minotaur magic was filled up with emotions of destruction, this new magic power was filled with tenaciousness just like water. Ever flowing doesn't matter what obstacle it encounters it goes on calmly and steadily.

Akira concentrated all his magic power on the sword. The tower of light becomes thinner but brighter.

Roar!

With a roar, Asterius releases the cero.

Hearing the music that is just about to end. He lifts his sword up all the magic power gets sucked into it. Looking at the beam of blood-red magic the size of a train coming towards him. He gives a fearless smile as he swung his sword down just as the song end and says "Two-hand style- Ryodan".

Swish!

The blade of magic goes bisects the cero but the cero still moves on to incinerate its target.

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!

The blast Of bloody red colour happened. The fiery red wave of the blast hit the makeshift barrier of Loki Familia incinerating it in an instant.

"Ais now" Finn inform

"Ariel" Ais uses all her magic in the hope to slow the wave but was astonished to see no effect.

"Everybody brace now" Finn commanded as he held his shield tightly.

BOOM!

Ais only had time to cover Lefiya and Naaza then in the next second she felt like being hit by a Udaeus. She felt her skin burn and then she lost consciousness.
