Setback

Yutso was thrown by his neck towards the end of the building by the old man.

"Well,that's one problem taken care of"

He tore off the upper portion of his robe revealing his insane physique with vapour evaporating from it.

He curled his arms and his chest got bigger followed by his shoulders,arms and than legs.

He looked down towards his foot where Akimitsu lay.

"Just you wait kid,it'll be over soon"

He turned to look towards the men infront of him.

They both were frozen in their respective positions with none of them making any movements.

Sugo kept staring at him in the eyes;he knew better than provoking him at that moment.

Old man bend himself on one knee ready to finish both of them in one blue.

Sugo dropped Sora from his hand but it was too late.

He didn't have time to make any movements and he could already see the future with his foreseeing ability;no matter from where he attacked with 109 positions in his mind it involved his body being half cut.

"WHAT DO I DO????WHAT DO I DO??"

His heart started beating so fast he felt as if it was going to come out.

"ITS COMING,RUN SUGO!!!!"

Getsugo's shout came from somewhere but it was not going to help him.

He could see the future already.

Before his hand could even reach his sword,the old man flashed infront of him.

However,instead of directing his punch towards him he changed his course midway and kicked a flash of light coming from behind him.

"Huh?

He gasped at himself trying to figure out what had happened.

The old man's attention had been diverted towards somebody infront of him

It was Yutso

He was standing their with his chest having half healed itself.

He had no idea how he had regenerated his heard but he was glad he had did it.

"SUGO,PICK AKIMITSU AND RUN!!"

Getsugo shouted at him waving for him to head towards the entrance.

He bend down to pick Akimitsu but the whole ground shook as if there had been a mighty earthquake.

Once again,he felt the goosebumps on his body and so did everybody else in the hallway.

Akimitsu's head hurt the most and not just due to the earthquake.

"Is he the descendant of Zeus?"

Hagetaka's voice rang in his head.

"Akimitsu,you never fail to amaze me do you?You just get more and more amazing" he laughed inside his head

Sugo pulled back with the rest of them towards the hallways entrance.

"We must retrieve Akimitsu and pull back as soon as possible"Sugo told Getsugo.

Sugo finally got a hold of himself and turned towards Sora who was laying on the floor whimpering.

He turned towards Akane.

"Akane,you take the rest of them and get out of here while we retrieve Akimitsu,got it?"

Akane motioned her men to pick up the bodies and head towards the entrance.

Sugo took a step back and sat on the ground.

"Right now we have fulfilled one of the two objectives;we haven't killed the old man but we have captured Akimitsu still we've lost two of the council members"

The look on his face told Akane what he was saying.

It was a disaster;one third of their manpower was dead while the major objective had not been fulfilled and the chances of it being completed were bleak and on top of that Sugo was the architect of this bold plan.

It was the worst-case scenario.

"Anyways,you head out of here quick and take what you can with you"

"Alright,see you later"

Sugo's attention turned towards the battle infront of him.

Yutso and oldman had not yet engaged themselves in battle yet.

Yutso looked at the oldman infront of him

"For an old man you are quite shredded aren't you?" he asked smiling.

The old man chuckled.

"I'll take that as a compliment"he replied smiling.

"By the way,is your technique the Zeus arts technique?"

Yutso asked preparing himself for battle.

"Oh yes it is but how did you know that?Are you perhaps also a follower of the Zeus arts technique?"the oldman curiously.

"Oh yes I am and its an honour to face the strongest follower of this technique of this century"

Old man also shifted into his battle position.

"Well let's see how good is your technique,shouldn't we?

Meanwhile,Sugo and Getsugo were observing the battle from the back.

"Sugo,do you have any idea where Hitashi is?"

Sugo instantly realized he was also missing.

"Don't tell me he is dead too???"

He heard footsteps coming from the hallways entrance.

"Who is it?"

He looked back to see one of Akane's men coming towards him.

He was bleeding heavily from his chest and once he reached Sugo and Getsugo he collapsed.

"What happened?"

He looked into Sugo's eyes breathing heavily.

"Barrier...building closed...Akane dead...escaped"

He collapsed on the floor;he was dead.

Sugo and Getsugo knew what it meant

Hagetaka had woken up.....
