War against the Jahad Empire.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

As he said those words, Hazuki let out his Susanoo, which hadn't seen the light for a few months. It's towering figure dwarfed most of the Warships around and everyone in the battlefield could feel its destructive might just from seeing it.

"What is… that…?!" A person from Jahad's Army exclaimed. His exclaim was heard all throughout the battlefield since it turned completely silent as soon as Hazuki manifested his Susanoo.

People soon broke out of their reverie, but they are still staring at Hazuki's Susanoo with trepidation evident in their eyes.

"Neat. Been a while since I last saw this." Ying Yueru muttered as she looked around her, taking in the magnificent sight of the Susanoo.

"Wait Sis Ying, you mean, he had this kind of power all the time?" Yuri asked with her voice slightly cracking. She's always with Hazuki and Ying Yueru but she really couldn't see anything significant about them. It feels like they are normal people but her instincts were screaming that they are not. And seeing the Susanoo opened up Yuri's eyes once more.

Of course, she has already seen a percentage of his power when he fought against Urek. But this is more intense in magnitude than that.

"Bro, you're actually hiding something like this? What's this? Is this some kind of special weapon or something?" Urek asked while looking around in amazement. He, inside the Susanoo, could feel very powerful energy pulsating from within the humanoid avatar. And that's something he couldn't ignore since even he felt fear as he sensed it.

While Urek was vocal about his amazement, Baek Ryun was silent but his brows were turned into a frown. His expression was solemn as he felt the pulsating energy of the Susanoo. 'What is this feeling..? It's completely different from Shinsu, yet it's similar… And this Avatar… Is this Hazuki-san's true power?'

The 10 great family leaders are also in a state of shock. After all, in their more than 10 Millenia of life, this is the first time they saw something like this. Not in the outside world and definitely not anywhere in the Tower.

Just staring at it makes them feel that they are facing the destruction incarnate. And they felt so feeble in front of it, like they can be swept by it at any given moment.

Ha Yurin grinned as she stared at Hazuki, who's beside Yuri. "Hoh… Looks like you are someone worth fighting, brat!!" She then bumped her knuckles to each other, obviously excited to pummel Hazuki's ass.

"Oi, Snakehead, don't get ahead of yourself. You are staying back and I'm going to be the one pummeling that brat." Khun Eduan said with a mixture of competitive spirit and aggressiveness.

Suddenly, a spear made of unknown metal appeared atop of his Head. It was emitting intense lightning energy and his aura immediately blanketed the surroundings.

As Khun Eduan's weapon, Mago, appeared, Adori immediately shouted. "Anyone except High-rankers, leave the floor! This is an order, you must get out of the floor as soon as possible and recall all other deployed High-rankers outside!!"

"Yes!" The Soldiers saluted in uniform and went back to their respective Floating Ships. They clearly know their Princess Adori's personality. She hated casualties and war the most and they also knew that they are just burdens in the upcoming fight. The only thing they could do was avoid becoming a burden and hope that their Empire would win.

Soon, the area was deserted and only a few thousand people were left on the 134th-floor. Most of them are high-rankers from below 1000 rank and only a few of them were from the 100th below.

Kallavan, Lyborick, Yasratcha, and other high-ranking officials from the Army were already prepared to hand their lives over in this fight just to protect the Empire.

Jahad and the Family leaders were already on their stances. But strangely, Poe Bidau Gustang, Blossom Eurasia, Yeon Hana were slightly laid back and they haven't even assumed their position nor summoned their weapon.

This was understandable since Hazuki revealed information about their daughter and both Gustang and Blossom were now ready to antagonize Jahad just to get their daughter, Enne, out. Yeon Hana might be standing on their side since she was behind the duo, a little distant from Arie Han and the others.

"Is that all you can do to resist? All out defense? That's disappointing, Irregular Hazuki. I even thought you'd fight to the death against us but you actually summoned a multi-directional shield? Do you think that will work?" Jahad sneered. He ignored the dangerous feeling he felt when staring at the Susanoo since he's ultimately confident in his capabilities. Moreover, he had administrative powers here on this floor and that is already a disadvantage to his enemies.

"Fine. I will destroy that shield once and for all. And the moment that happens, your life will be forfeited to me." Jahad added as he summoned 5 'Shinsu Black hole Spheres'. Then those 'Black hole Spheres' suddenly entered Jahad's body.

*Boom!* A powerful gust of wind and Shinsu swept around the battlefield with Jahad as the center. His whole body was now emitting golden light and the Shinsu around him was trembling as if high on adrenaline.

Suddenly, red horn-like tentacles erupted from Jahad's body. It was hideous to the point that Yuri and Baek Ryun were intimidated and unconsciously took a step backwards. Ying Yueru was a little bit intrigued and creeped out, but that was all. She has already tempered her mind through countless destiny calculations and something like this wasn't enough to scare her.

"Seriously, that's disgusting, Jahad. That demon in your body doesn't even look like it came from hell. It looks something out of a Fat-businessman's fantasies." Hazuki mocked.

Hearing his words, Jahad looked like a cat that had its tail stepped on. "You don't understand because you're just a puny mortal that had an opportunity to enter the Tower! The demon inside me is the peak of the Tower, it's an absolute monarch that will allow me to dominate the Tower by myself! Even those Floor Guardians are inferior to me with this demon inside me!"

'He's actually so proud that a demon lives in him? Isn't he disgusted by it? Moreover, the demon is a 'tentacle monster'!' Hazuki shivered as he thought of this.

Then Hazuki smirked as he said. "You're crazy, Jahad. But don't worry, I'll rip that demon out of you as a pity from a fellow man."

Suddenly, Hazuki's Susanoo raised its sword horizontally, aiming for Jahad and the 5 family leaders.

Seeing his actions, Jahad and the others readied themselves. Ha Yurin, Ari Han, and Yasratcha immediately summoned their weapons.

Ha Yurin's weapon is a black-colored needle. It was a black-colored needle made up of glittering metals. Just seeing it makes it feel like you are staring at a mirror as it reflects light. It had intricate patterns in its body and it was approximately 1.5 meter long.

The weapon Ari Han had was a mace. It's a two-handed mace but it seems like Ari Han could handle it with a single hand with relative ease. It's shaft/body was large and it's head was cross-shaped, if seen from above. It has countless spikes around the head and its body seemed to be capable of elongating. Hazuki suspects that Ari Han's weapon is a chain mace/Flail.

Yasratcha didn't summon any weapon. But his body transformed into a large Lion with long fangs. He was emitting dark-green flames from his body, making him look majestic and intimidating at the same time.

Aerie Hon and Khun Eduan also readied themselves. Arie Hon took his stance while Khun Eduan swallowed a lightning-pill.

All of them were in a defensive stance and the Shinsu in the air felt heavy for everyone. So heavy to the point that they don't recognize the Shinsu concentration anymore. It felt like the floor transformed and was replaced by a higher-floor in terms of Shinsu density.

The High-Rankers all readied themselves while the weaker ones, the lightbearers and scouts, were forced to retreat inside their Warships.

Urek smiled wryly at the situation and thought. 'Bro, I said that I'll spearhead the attack, right?! Well, what's done is already done. And this is a good time to experience this power.'

The Susanoo's right hand is already gripping the hilt of the sheathed sword. The tension keeps on getting heavier as time passes with the Susanoo's hand on the hilt.

Suddenly, Hazuki pulled the sword out of the scabbard and sent a terrifying Iai slash towards Jahad and the others.

*Boom!* The Sword Aura was so powerful and it seemed to have slashed the void, causing enormous damage to the surroundings. The Shinsu Density in the Floor seemed to have been cut in half and the cone shape around him was decimated into mere rubbles.

*Boom!* The Sword Aura struck Jahad and the others at full force. The whole floor shook and the previous majestic Jahad Empire could no longer be seen. What remained in its place was a devastated Imperial City with it's previous majestic buildings reduced to debris.

The dust and smoke was so intense and it covered almost half of the battlefield alone. The state of Jahad and the others were unconfirmed but their auras could still be felt, meaning they are still alive.

A few seconds later, the dust somewhat settled and the battlefield became visible to them all again.

Jahad and the others were no longer mid-air. They looked around and saw all of them on the ground. They are standing on their feets, but in front of them, a long gash of skidding marks could be seen and their clothes are destroyed in some places. They seem fine and there were only scratches on their body. But it was still undeniable that they lost in a confrontation of power against Hazuki.

This scene caused a shiver down on everybody in the Army. 'In just a single attack… He caused the King and 5 of the great family leaders such damage…? This…'

Jahad, on the forefront of the attack, was the most shaken among them all. He's the one who intercepted most of the attacks power and he knew just how terrifying that attack really is. Fortunately, he was able to envelop himself with the tentacles and he was also able to somewhat weaken it by countering it with more than a hundred 'Black Hole Sphere'.

But even though he made such efforts, he was still injured by that attack. It felt as if the 'Black Hole Spheres' were nullified and was rendered useless against that Sword Aura.

'What is that… I definitely felt it… That energy, what is that…?!' Jahad thought about the feeling he got after receiving the attack. He had administrative powers over the floor since it's basically his domain and this is included in his contract with the Floor Guardians. So he was able to feel the changes in the Shinsu in the air.

The moment his attack and the Sword aura collided, it felt as if the Shinsu was instantly overpowered and it couldn't do anything other than be overwhelmed by the opposing power.

Now he's sure, Hazuki is very dangerous! Even more dangerous than Urek Mazino and anyone he has ever encountered in his life!

Jahad observed his body and scanned for any possible injury. As he did so, he felt Shinsu circulation inside his body was disturbed and the effects of the 'Black hole spheres' inside his body were also weakened to almost half of its original power.

He looked then behind him and saw 5 of the great family leaders in the same state as him and he couldn't help but feel grave. He definitely couldn't remain stubborn and arrogant in facing Hazuki now that he experienced just how powerful the latter is.

"That brat.. Is insane…! What is that Sword Aura?!" Arie Hon, the only Swordsman in the team, exclaimed. He didn't care about his injuries anymore because his mind was drifting off in Hazuki's previous attack. The Sword Aura contained in that strike was overwhelmingly tyrannical! Not only that, it was also capable of tearing space itself as a result of executing it!

'That… Where did he learn that…? And, where did he get that…?!' Arie Hon thought gravely as he stared at the Susanoo. He felt intimidation envelop him as the Susanoo continued to tower on them, exerting pressure on their minds, instilling fear.

Ha Yurin dusted her clothes and grinned towards Hazuki. She then looked at Yuri beside him and said. "Yuri, it seems like you found a capable man among these mongrels in the Tower! Good! I will no longer hold you back no matter what!"

Yuri smiled and she immediately thanked her great-grandmother. "Thank's Great-Grandma!"

Suddenly, Ha Yurin grinned sadistically, almost savagely on Yuri's estimation. "But that will only happen if he was able to escape out of here alive!"

Even though they all lost against Hazuki in a confrontation, she was still confident that they could beat Hazuki in a fight. After all, it would be shameful if Millennia old monsters like them lost a fight against some kid who only stayed in the Tower for a year.

As for that last attack of Hazuki? Ha Yurin sees it as a bluffing strike. She even bets that Hazuki exerted most of his power on that attack and he would be in a weakened state after executing it. After all, she observed Hazuki before he even executed the attack. It was obvious that the Susanoo was gathering power before it could strike, and that's the reason why the Susanoo had to stop and hold its sword horizontally in front.

Because for her, the previous attack seemed to have been made through intense concentration and amassing momentum. Now, she thinks that the only thing she should do is to prevent Hazuki from executing the same attack again.

"Great-Grandma, why?! It's obvious that you're also neutral! Why do you have to oppose us and side with Jahad?!" Yuri asked with slight indignation.

Ha Yurin grinned and replied with an 'obviously' kind of expression. "My, my, Yuri, it seems like you already forgot yourself after joining that brat."

"Of course it's about the thrill! It's been a few Millennia since I last fought with my full-strength! So how could I miss such a grand opportunity?! It doesn't matter who, or what do I side with, as long as I could fight and release my pent up fighting desires!" Ha Yurin added with a battle crazed expression.

Hazuki and Ying Yueru looked at each other and chuckled.

'It seems like the comparison wasn't wrong! Not only looks, but even their personalities are the same!' Hazuki thought.

"Sis Yuri, it seems like you have a great, great-grandmother." Ying Yueru said with a light laugh while covering her mouth demurely.

Yuri smiled wryly and replied with slight embarrassment. "Yeah, although she goes overboard sometimes."

"Huh? Looks like Clan Leader Yurin is still on the game. Not only that, she seems to be the Yuri of the opposing team." Urek Mazino said without a hint of care. He said whatever he thought as he observed the casualties made by Hazuki's attack.

Hearing Urek, Baek Ryun suddenly coughed and he couldn't help but smile wryly. Even Ying Yueru cracked up and stared at Urek with an 'Omae wa mou shindeiru' kind of expression.

Urek looked back at them since he felt like something was amiss. "Uhhh? Yuri, why are you glaring at me like that? Please stop, I'm getting scared."

"It's because you don't know how to read the atmosphere you d*mbshit! Get your ass away from here and do your thing!" Yuri snarled as she literally kicked Urek out of the Susanoo.

Urek smiled wryly and he scratched his head in bewilderment. 'What did I do wrong? Well, that's fine. WIth this, I can finally take my opponent.' He then observed around and searched for a suitable opponent.

But he was disappointed because other than the Family leaders and Jahad, no other person here could be a match. Heck, even if all of the remaining Jahad's Army here joined hands, they still wouldn't be able to satisfy Urek.

"Hey, Arie Horny and Kitty, get your asses here and let me pummel you both." Urek taunted as he looked down at them provocatively.

Arie Hon looked at Urek Mazino, then suddenly shook his head. He said. "No, you don't interest me enough, Urek Mazino. The only one I wanna fight here is that brat inside that Humanoid Avatar."

Then he looked at Khun Eduan and added. "Hey, Pedophile! Distract Urek Mazino for us while we deal with that other Irregular!"

"And you, Adori kid! Assist this Pedo in dealing with Urek Mazino! But make sure this Pedo doesn't lay his hands on you, that'd be grave!"

Though unwilling, Adori Jahad nodded since Arie Hon is still her superior.

"Huh?! Who the f*ck are you calling a pedophile?! And, why do you even care about my 'conquest'?! Want me to pierce that territory of yours with my Mago, huh?! Sword freak!" Khun Eduan replied back with his own insults and threat.

"Obviously, you are the pedophile I'm talking about! Who the f*ck would take interest in those kids aged 2000 and below?! Only you! Become a respectable senior for once and distract Urek Mazino for the greater good!" Arie Hon responded.

Khun Eduan already had bulging veins on his forehead, but he forcefully calmed himself down and stared at Urek Mazino with pure wrath in his expression. It seems like he wants to vent his frustration on Urek Mazino.

'He he, looks like they are indeed like fire and water.' Hazuki thought as he remembered the original story from his previous life.

"Only two? Add a few more, or else, it wouldn't be a fight anymore…" Urek Mazino arrogantly said.

"I alone am enough to beat down a failed gigolo like you." Khun Eduan replied. He then continued. "Hey, Princess, you don't have to move around here. Deal with that Baek Ryun or something else just don't interrupt me."

This comment invoked Urek's irritation since it hit a spot he was hiding. That may be true in his earlier days in the Tower. But not anymore since he met Garam on the 43rd-floor. Because of her, Urek lost all interest in other girls even though he forced himself to flirt with every woman he encountered.

What Khun Eduan said, 'Failed Gigolo', poked a sore spot on him and he couldn't easily let it off.

"He he he… Looks like you��re going to die today, Pedophile. After I beat you, I'm going to call the FBI's to arrest you!" Urek Mazino shouted as he created a 'Ray' on his hands.

Seeing him make a move, Khun Eduan also made his. He created a Lightning Spear shaped after his mago and threw it at Urek.

*Boom!* Their attack disrupted the Surrounding Shinsu but it was on a small scale compared to the result of Hazuki's attack.

Seeing them matching with each other, Hazuki looked towards Baek Ryun and said, "Baek Ryun, you can clean up the battlefield for now to prevent them from interrupting us. You can kill all those who resist but you can let off those who aren't doing anything. If they're willing, you can even transfer them to 133rd-floor. But that's all on your discretion."

Then he looked back and fixed his vision to Poe Bidau Gustang, Blossom Eurasia, and Yeon Hana. "Are you not going to participate? Don't worry, I can still take you all on so you can still change your mind~."

Poe Bidau Gustang looked at Blossom Eurasia and their eyes met. Blossom immediately averted her gaze and tried her best to ignore Gustang.

Gustang smiled wryly and looked back at Hazuki. He then shook his head, declining in participating in the fight. Blossom and Yeon Hana also shook their heads.

"I don't want to participate. As long as you promise to release my daughter, if you win, then I wouldn't do anything. I can also become an assistance to you." Blossom replied.

"I don't care about ruling anymore. As long as you could help us in unlocking the next floor, then I wouldn't even mind siding with you," Yeon Hana said.

"Hmm. Fine. I can do those things but you can all sit back there and mind your own businesses. You see, I don't like assistance when I'm fighting." Hazuki responded.

"Yuri, do you plan on assisting Baek Ryun or do you want to enter the Kamui now?" Hazuki asked.

"There's no need, Hazuki. I'm fine in this place. Well, truthfully, it's better here since I could observe everything that is happening below." Yuri replied. She doesn't want to participate now since she's quite nervous about her great-grandmother's words.

Then he looked at Ying Yueru and asked. "What about you, Ying'er? Do you want to enter the Kamui dimension now? Or do you want to participate?"

Ying Yueru contemplated for a moment before she replied. "I'm fine here with you. I won't participate anymore since all of them already found their match. If I assisted any of them, I would feel like a third-party and that feels quite weird."

Hazuki laughed merrily while staring at her. He then tucked her hair behind her ears and suddenly kissed her.

Ying Yueru was stunned but she didn't resist.

Well, Hazuki only pecked her lips and didn't start anything weird in the middle of the battlefield.

"What was that for?" Ying Yueru asked.

"What else? It's a lucky charm, of course." Hazuki smirked before he turned back towards Jahad and the remaining four family leaders.

"So, are you all ready to face your downfall? Don't worry, I won't 'kill' you. But this definitely wouldn't feel good." Hazuki said towards Jahad.

"Empty words from a dying man." Jahad said even though his vigilance towards the latter was on full alert.

Hazuki's Susanoo once again took its stance. It raised its sword horizontally in front with the Susanoo's right hand on the hilt of the sheathed sword.

Seeing this, Jahad and the other family leaders moved.

*Jahad-style Lethal move: Rampage* Jahad punched towards Hazuki in quick succession. Creating many Shinsu shockwaves imbued with the power of an administrator. The Shinsu shockwaves have very powerful momentum. Just feeling it's power could make anyone fear for their lives.

*Arie Swordsmanship: Sect one fifth-stance, White Oar's Assault!* Arie Hon slashed at extreme speeds in a zigzag motion, creating an image of the White Oar preparing to devour its opponent. The White Oar's assault was accompanied by a massive Shinsu gust that seems to amass power as the attack traverses the air.

*Ha Family's Shinsu Hadouen, Ha Yurin's special skill: Atomic Sword!* Ha Yurin's Shinsu Hadouken was different from Yuri's 'Red Velvet Sword'. Ha Yurin's Shinsu Hadouken was rotating, creating greater piercing power than Yuri's 'Red velvet sword'. This action contains intense Shinsu control and Yuri definitely couldn't do it in the past since the blood of an Irregular inside her was already diluted.

Also, Ha Yurin's 'Atomic Sword' doesn't only have powerful piercing power. It also had a massive amount of Shinsu inside it, generating greater power and Kinetic energy for the attack.

As Jinsung Ha said, the Ha family are Shinsu technicians. And now, Hazuki could confirm it since he felt that Ha Yurin's attack has more substance than Arie Hon and Jahad's attack, which is only filled with raw power and a little technique.

*Ari Family's Special Complementary technique: Great Wall's Breakthrough!* Ari Han raised his mace high up in the air and smashed it towards Hazuki's Susanoo. His attack was quite normal compared to them all but Hazuki could feel that Ari Han's attack was the most powerful among them and it was also the first one which would strike him.

The 'Great Wall's Breakthrough' seems to be a weapon imbuing technique used by the Ari family. They are using the Weapon's size, which was affected by the Shinsu resistance due to its size, to draw the Shinsu in the air. A swing of their weapon could cause the Shinsu in the air to ripple and they are taking advantage of it by gathering those ripples in order to execute a devastating attack. It's the same as Flow-control but they are using it on their weapons. Minimal effort, Maximum damage.

*Shineuh: Barracuda's wrath!* Lo Po Bia Ning summoned Barracudas, the most violent Shinheuh in the Tower. It's also the most aggressive and dangerous of them all throughout the 134th-floor. (Shinheuh: Divine sea fish. Every animal in the Tower is called Shinheuh. White Steel Eel, Net Dolphins and even the Zigena can be called a Shinheuh.)

A massive school of decent sized Barracuda appeared on Lo Po Bia Ning's call. Barracuda's are known for being vicious and violent. There's even a saying in the Tower: Once you get bitten by a Barracuda, you wouldn't get away without a torn limb.

His attack was very simple, but vicious nonetheless. Even a single one of those Barracuda would be able to injure a Ranker from the 10,000th rank below and numerous of those are deadly for High-Rankers. But this is on a different scale. After all, Lo Po Bia Ning summoned a massive school of it in order to rip Hazuki's Susanoo to shreds.

Seeing their attacks coming towards them, Hazuki immediately reacted. In an instant, the Susanoo released a powerful aura. The Floor's Shinsu immediately became chaotic. As if the Shinsu was restless and in anarchy. They couldn't be gathered anymore and were only flying around aimlessly in the Floor.

The cause of this, Hazuki, smiled since those panicked Shinsu immediately weakened the attack of Jahad and the others. Arie Hon's sword strike stopped amassing power and Jahad's attack immediately lost some of its momentum.

The Susanoo then pulled out the Sword from the scabbard, sending another wave of terrifying Sword aura. Hazuki's attack contained Heavenly Chakra and mostly Shinsu, that's why Jahad and the others could estimate the power behind it.

Still, they are intimidated by it since it's, by no way, weaker than their attacks combined. Heck, they could even feel the Shinsu in the air getting heavier as their attacks neared each other.

*Boom!!* Their attacks collided and everything around 30 miles radius was immediately swept away by a powerful gust of wind pressure.

The Warships were thrashed and every remaining member of the Jahad's Army was swept away like sticks in front of a storm.

The remains of the Jahad Empire now completely disappeared, leaving the Floor an empty, barren land.

Even Urek and Khun Eduan were disturbed in the middle of their fight a few tens of miles away from them.

The explosion was intense and the state of every participant was unknown.

A few seconds later, the smoke slightly settled revealing Jahad and the others. They are still on their feet and no added injury could be observed on them. But their faces which are full of tension could be observed.

As for Hazuki, Ying Yueru, and Yuri, they are still fine. But Hazuki's Susanoo isn't in very good condition. It's head was erased and half of its body was missing, leaving billowing flames on the destroyed parts.

Behind him, a large wake of destruction could be observed and it's obvious that Jahad and the others' attack landed there.

Seeing his Susanoo destroyed, Jahad, Arie Hon and Lo Po Bia Ning smirked.

"Looks like that's all you can do, Irregular Hazuki. Too bad, if that's all you can do, then your death is guaranteed." Arie Hon sneered.

"Now, are you ready to die, 'revolutionary'?" Lo Po Bia Ning said savagely as he stared at Hazuki fiercely.

"A cub is a cub no matter how threatening it looks. You are indeed the embodiment of this saying. Even though you are powerful, you are still a pup that didn't even have the chance to grow up into its full potential. Right now, you are only good at bluffing." Jahad said.

"So surrender now and become my vassal. I will guarantee that you will receive the greatest honor anyone in the Tower could only dream of. Wealth, power and everything will be in your grasp as long as you agree in becoming my vassal." Jahad added as he stretched his hand towards Hazuki.

While the three of them are enjoying their success, Ha Yurin and Ari Han weren't the same as them.

'There's… something wrong with that last attack… It feels like… the attack was forced... ' Ha Yurin thought. During the whole time, she was controlling her 'Atomic Sword'. That is an improvisation on her side since it could catch her opponents off guard if they thought that they already dodged the attack.

At the moment of collision, Ha Yurin felt like the sword aura lacked the previous substance it had, although it was indeed stronger than the last. 'Was it just my imagination…? Or was it because he was hurried when he executed that sword strike…?'

Well, she's actually right since Hazuki imbued that attack with more Shinsu rather than Heavenly Energy. Hazuki forced the Sword Strike to contain massive Shinsu rather than load it, purely, with Heavenly Energy.

The reason why she felt that this attack was wrong is because of the complexity and profoundness she felt in Hazuki's first Sword Strike. She couldn't feel those in Hazuki's second sword strike and her feeling became even more strange since she could gauge its power, contrary to before.

She felt as if Hazuki actually held back even though the second Sword strike was more powerful.

Let's say it this way, in his first sword strike, Hazuki imbued the attack with 100 strands of Heavenly Chakra and 100 strands of Shinsu. The attack was powerful and had complexity due to the mix of energies. But in his second attack, Hazuki only imbued it with 50 strands of Heavenly Chakra and 20,000 strands of Shinsu, causing the attack to be composed mainly of Shinsu. (It's quite weird since I don't really know how to quantify these.)

Her expression was grave since she felt like Hazuki was still hiding his powers from them.

--------------------

As Hazuki heard Jahad, Arie Hon, and Lo Po Bia Ning running their mouth before they could even win, he chuckled.

"You think you already won with that? All of you became naive. Tsk, tsk." Hazuki said as he shook his head.

"Because you are hiding in your palaces and enjoying everyone's worship, your senses that were forged by combat became loose. Now I'm believing what Jinsung Ha said: Old people are irritable to change because your minds have become dull over time! And the same goes for your previously battle-honed senses."

"To think that you never felt something wrong from that previous attack of mine… And enjoyed your victory without analyzing anything… You all have really become foolish!" Hazuki shouted with a grin.

Jahad; Arie Hon, and Lo Po Bia Ning stopped their actions and stared at Hazuki with a dangerous glint in their eyes. It feels like the wrath inside them couldn't be held back anymore and in their eyes, they are already tearing Hazuki to shreds.

'As I thought…! There's definitely something wrong there…!' Ha Yurin thought gravely. She couldn't help but feel intimidated because of the unknown powers Hazuki wields.

"I changed my mind. You don't need to be my vassal. Because right now, I don't want anything else other than to rip you to shreds." Jahad finally revealed his malicious side that is far from his previous calm.

Arie Hon and Lo Po Bia Ning didn't say anything, but they obviously became even more vigilant and alert now.

Seeing them like this, Hazuki chuckled. He then said. "That's more like it! Imagine it in your heads, the feeling of tearing me to shreds. Then work hard to realize that dream since you all will be starting anew after this!"

Hazuki then withdrew his Susanoo. The destructive aura of the Susanoo disappeared and the Shinsu inexplicably calmed down.

Seeing this, Arie Hon erupted in laughter. "Haha! Are you surrendering since we're hell-bent on tearing you now?! Too late because we already made up our minds!"

Then he glared at him maliciously and said. "And that woman of yours… After this, I'm going to send her to that Pedophile, Khun Eduan, to receive her punishment!!"

Arie Hon's words sealed his deal with the devil.

Hazuki smiled but his eyes were frighteningly dark. Even though he will not let that thing happen, he was still enraged after hearing someone like Arie Hon say those threats to him. He was sensitive to those kinds of things and a mere threat could trigger his wrath.

He was smiling but his eyes weren't. And Yuri, beside him, could feel the bubbling power threatening to erupt from Hazuki's body.

'What is… happening?!'

"Is that so? He he, congratulations, Arie Hon. You have successfully piqued my 'interest'." Hazuki said.

"So now… you have to pay for 'piquing' my interest!" Suddenly, Hazuki disappeared from his spot and appeared above Arie Hon.

Jahad, Lo Po Bia Ning, and the person in the middle of everything, Arie Hon, couldn't even react. Before they knew it, Hazuki was already on the air above Arie Hon.

On Hazuki's right hand, a Rasengan powered by Heavenly Chakra was already prepared. He made it the instant he disappeared, and the moment Jahad and the others were still stunned.

Hazuki drove the Rasengan on Arie Hon's face, twisting the latter's face into a circular pattern.

*Boom!* The Rasengan on his hand exploded, blowing Jahad and Lo Po Bia Ning in the process. There were no Shinsu disturbances, just a single, staggering explosion that swallowed Arie Hon.

"Arie Hon!" Ari Han shouted in panic.

Jahad and Lo Po Bia Ning, who were in the immediate surroundings of the explosion, were disordered. Jahad was a little better since he had the demon's tentacles defend him from the explosion, he only had a large wound on his right arm, which was caused by the explosion.

But Lo Po Bia Ning's condition was not good. His right arm was torn and blood was constantly flowing from his amputated arm's socket. His right face was also disfigured and his cheekbones were already exposed.

Sweat was flowing from his forehead, drenching his face with it. 'That attack…! Arie Hon definitely died in that previous attack..!!'

Hazuki stood mid-air while looking below him coldly. Below him, a deep pit of abyss was made as a result of his Rasengan exploding.

Arie Hon's figure could no longer be seen. His aura could also no longer be felt and his body wasn't visible anywhere. He was completely disintegrated with Hazuki's Rasengan.
