'Kikei, what do I do now? I've got both the cubes'

"Pour your soul emanation into your cube."

Kikei told me to do so. I poured my soul into emanation.

As I did so, white light and smoke spread through the room. Rowan stopped midway while charging Konan.

"well, shit"

Konan cursed out loud as he saw me wielding my Nexusblade.

As I released my Nexusblade, I wore a hakama-like coat with a black lining towards the edges. My dark green eyes enhanced the white hakama I wore.

Rowan charged towards Konan and swung his gladius towards Konan's neck. The swing caused the air around the sword to ripple and tear apart, but Konan was fast enough to dodge the attack and teleport away from the swing.

"Go attack him. Don't just stand around."

Kikei spoke to me as I was looking at the fight. I kept the cube in a pocket-like space in my hakama as I was about to attack.

"With the knowledge you gained from the cube, the way you fight, swing, or do anything has become muscle memory. Just make sure you don't mess up my missing swing."

As I heard Kikei's words, I felt my courage grow, and I charged towards Konan. My vision blurred, and I was suddenly in front of Konan.

'Huh, how is he so fast?'

Both Konan and Rowan thought to themselves as I swung my katana at Konan's stomach, but he hit my katana with his palm, which slammed me towards the ground.

'shit'

Just as I missed my swing, I swore in my head. I pulled myself together and swung at Konan's neck, but my sword phased through his neck, only to find out it was an image.

Konan moved so fast that he left an image in the air, and he threw his claws towards my face.

'fuck, he's got me'

Konan got ready to strike my face, but Rowan stopped him.

....

Rowan sliced through Konan's hand to save Nova, but it all seemed futile as his arms regenerated in seconds.

Konan took a step back, closed his palm, gathered all his soul emanation, and released a nexstar all within a moment.

"Get back, Nova."

Rowan screamed in terror. A neon red light enveloped Konan's hand as a beam of soul emanation blasted through the wall and caused quite a bit of damage to the house.

'shit, that was close'

Rowan barely dodged trying to protect Nova, but he got back into his attacking stance.

Rowan gathered all the soul emanation in the air, and his sword started to glow in blue as he swung his sword in Konan's direction.

"Galaxus style—move 1"

As Rowan slashed towards Konan, a blue beam filled with soul emanation quickly slashed towards Konan's face.

'I'm too late'

Konan thought to himself as he prepared to take the attack head-on, as he thought he was strong enough to tank it.

The attack overpowered Konan and made him fly and break through the wall. The house was practically destroyed by all the commotion.

**

ukhhh—

Konan groaned as he flew through the wall and fell down. As he tried to get up, he spat blood.

and looked miserable.

'shit, I need to use my Trump card and get out of here'

Just as Konan thought to himself to use his Trump card, he stood up only to see a katana being swung to his neck.

Konan was fast enough to block the swing with his arms, which got cut through by the katana and reached his neck. The impact made him fly back and fall hard towards the ground.

Spurt— spurt—

'huh, where I'm bleeding from'

Konan thought to himself as he saw his arms slowly regenerate. The regeneration had exponentially slowed down because of the nexstar, which drained a lot of his energy.

But the bleeding didn't slow down, even if his arms were recovering. He felt blood gushing out of his neck.

'how'

Confused by the injury, he remembered that it was Nova who did it. This angered Konan as his brows got closer together.

He had regenerated enough to take care of Nova, who was charging at him. A grin appeared on Konan's face as he disappeared from where he was standing and reappeared behind Nova.

Konan brought his claws out, and as he was about to attack Nova, he felt an immense pressure that was so strong that he became paralysed.

It was Rowan.

***

As I saw Rowan perform a slash that demolished Konan, I followed Konan as I knew he would be injured.

As he stood up, I swung towards his neck, which he blocked with his arms and crashed against a wall. I took this opportunity and charged him, but he disappeared, and he reappeared behind my back.

I couldn't see him move at all. But Konan prepared to attack me again, but then I felt immense pressure, which made me fall to the ground.

I tried to get up, but I was completely overpowered and paralysed.

**

As soon as Rowan saw Nova follow Konan, he gathered all the soul emanation in the air and replenished his soul emanation.

'I have to use it. No wonder he's an Asura-level critic.

As he thought to himself, he got into a stance.

"Nexabane-Glidiaux Roar" [soul awakening]

A dark blue light and smoke covered the room as Rowan released immense pressure, which affected everyone within a 10-metre radius.

Anyone who could use soul emanation would feel the pressure overpower them.

Rowan had a long sword and blue-tinted armour that bore a resemblance to that of Roman soldiers.

He had to annihilate Konan, so he charged towards the opening in the wall and appeared on top of Konan.

Rowan saw Nova struggling to breathe, so he stopped the pressure overflowing from his body, but Konan capitalised on this opportunity and charged towards Nova's neck.

swoosh—

But he was too slow. The air around him started to ripple and tear apart. The last thing Konan could hear was air tearing apart.

spurt—

Thud-

A neck started to roll around the ground. Blood was spurting everywhere; it truly was an annihilation.
