Hyper Focus

"GYAHHH!!"

After getting smacked by Grim again, Rhya's body shot back like a canon ball as Grim used [Grim style Unknowing Fire] to chase after him.

'These movements... Its not something a human should be capable of!'

*BOOM!!*

Increasing his speed once more, Grim's figure flashed in front of Rhya as he sunk a flame coated fist deep into his guts and slammed him into a wall.

[Rengoku]

"ARGHHHH!!!" Rhya screamed as his body shot off Grim's fist and collided heavily with the wall.

"WE'RE NOT DONE YET!!" Grim laughed with sadistic glee as he activated a different spell moments before Rhya smashed into the wall.

[Breath of Wind - 4th Form: Rising Dust Storm]

Smashing into the wall, a small green circle manifested behind Rhya's back as a violent torrent of green wind burst out slicing up his delicate skin and launching him right in front of Grim whose sword was pointing outwards and towards him.

[Hyper Focus] not only enhanced Grim's sensing abilities, as a side effect it also upgrade the speed in which he processed the way his own mana worked allowing him to switch between magic types faster than before.

!!!

*Stab*

"Ahh-

Feeling the weight of Rhya's body embed itself on his sword, Grim looked into the man's eyes and said.

"Heat Lightning."

---

'Is... Is this the end for me...'

Lying on the floor with a small hole in his chest, Rhya felt the blood slowly drain away from his body as the after effects of Grim's [Heat Lightning] rampaged inside his body.

While he could heal himself with the mana amount he had left, with Grim standing over him he wondered if there was any point.

He had been beaten... No, he had been crushed. And to make matters even worse, he could tell that the only reason he was still alive was so that Grim could watch the life slowly fade from his eyes. It was almost as if he was mocking him. Telling him to heal up just so he could put him back down again. Compared to just straight out killing him, this way of dying was much crueler and humiliating. Knowing that he had the ability to save himself but unable to do so due to this fiend standing over him. What kind of sick minded person could find pleasure in such depravity?

'I activated my third eye, copied his magic and kept healing myself. Yet somehow I'm the one bleeding out... What kind of sick joke is that?'

While Rhya was busy dealing with his emotional crisis, Grim stood over the bleeding man feeling woozy.

'Dammit! My head's killing me.'

Whilst Grim's use of [Hyper Focus] played the biggest role in his victory over the Third Eye member, the mental strain it put on his mind was great. To percieve the things he did in this fight, his brain was forced to work on overdrive causing the mental fatigue to set in quickly. For someone like him who wasn't accustomed to using [Hyper Focus] in battle, if the battle dragged on any longer than it had, his chances of winning would have dropped substancially.

Not to say that the battle wasn't fun. If anything it showed him that it wasn't his magic that made him scary as a fighter, it was him himself. Whether it be his [Grim style], [Hyper Focus] [Black Air Force Energy] or pure ferrocity, Rhya wasn't able to copy any of it.

"*Sigh* Its unusual for you to have something to say."

"..."

Overlooking the kingdom from his high situated location, Julius's back faced William Vangence as he knew that the truth he had always feared was about to become a reality.

"Is something wrong William?"

(Eye of the Midnight Sun base)

Sitting on the ground, Grim sighed and looked at the dying Rhya whose body was now lying in a pool of his own blood.

"So what was the point of all this?"

Barely managing to turn his head, Rhya looked over to him with a face full of confusion.

"Your plan, why become a terrorist? I don't buy that change the kingdom for the better bullshit. So what were you guys really planning?"

"I *cough* didn't take you for the type to care."

In truth he actually didn't, but with the backlash from [Hyper Focus] messing with his head, he needed a minute to sort himself out. And there was no way he'd just sit in silence while waiting to recover. Besides, Rhya didn't know he was taking a break. In his eyes it must looked like he was dragging things out.

"I didn't take you for the type to waste time." Grim replied back.

"Heh." Rhya laughed coughing up some blood.

"So what was your deal? Why do all this?"

*Sigh*

'Well its not like he'll be able to stop us anyway...'

Taking a moment to think about it, Rhya decided that he didn't have anything to lose by telling Grim his history. Not to mention the fact that just like with Fana and Patry, he also felt a weird affinity for the boy sitting a bit away from him.

"Have you ever heard of the Elves?"

"Pretend I haven't."

"I guess I'll start at the beginning then."

---

(Capital)

"As the Wizard King, I will protect them."

Revealing his grimoire, Julius declared his intentions of protecting the Clover kingdom and its citizens to the now transformed Patry.

"Protect them?" He laughed. "Then show me how you'll protect them from this!" Rising higher into the air, Patry released the sealing magic placed on him causing his mana to swell and expand.

As his magic power grew at an exponential rate, light magic started forming itself into a sphere around him before flattening out into a giant glowing sun-light circle with countless blades descending out from it.

"Mommy mommy!!" A young by excitedly pulled on his mother's arm.

"What Lucas?" She answered with a tired tone.

"What's that?" He pointed to the sky.

"What's wha- OH MY GOD!"

---

Looking down on the masses from above. A cold light flashed through Patry's eyes as the swords of light fell on the Clover kingdom.

"I will rain punishment down on all of you NINGEN!!"

[A/n: Rewatched the Goku Black arc in DBS and am currently addicted to the word Ningen at the moment.]
