''Ugh!'' A black-haired young man crashed on a stone wall, making it crack apart, and soon the stone wall fell completely apart.
''Argh!'' The black-haired young man, with a grunt of pain, moved his limbs in a painful manner with a sizeable wound on his back, making his muscular back's skin ripped off.
He was holding a majestic-looking spear, which was in a shade of silver that almost reflected the moon's light.
Suddenly, a glass bottle appeared on his left hand, and without further ado, he drank it, and soon the green liquid started flowing down on his throat as his wounds began slowly healing.
[Host, these Potions won't last forever!]
''I am well aware...'' Ichiro said and wiped the saliva from his lips.
''You are a tough bastard, aren't you.'' A black-robed figure appeared on top of the stone wall, which was blown into pieces after Ichiro crashed onto it. He was one of the figures who had been fighting against Ichiro for some time. His facial features were obscure, but Ichiro managed to learn his identity.
First Order. That's right, his name is First Order.
*Thud*
Another figure landed some distance away from Ichiro, he had similar black robes with his figure obscure, but his voice was much calmer than First Order's. His name is also quite unique; it is Second Order.
Ichiro was aware that these two attackers were part of some secret society, alongside the man who was fighting against his father-in-law.
He would like to find answers, but he has been too busy to stay alive!
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtFirst Order and Second Order seemed unharmed and didn't even seem exhausted!
While... Another glass bottle cracked apart in Ichiro's hand, it was invisible in the eyes of others, but it felt incredibly heavy in Ichiro's hand.
He has managed to survive so far with the help of his Epic Healing Potions, but they are dwindling quick!
Ichiro pushed away his exhaustion and prepared for another confrontation that would decide whether he would live to see another day or will he die.
But when the First and Second Order was about to unleash their attacks, they saw something unimaginable.
*CRAAAACKKKKKKK!*
Ichiro quickly turned his head towards the sky and saw beams of lightning coloring the black sky in a bluish hue!
And that wasn't all... First and Second Order was shocked shitless after seeing their Supreme Leader getting pushed back helplessly.
''Supreme Leader!'' Both of them shouted anxiously and started rushing towards Abyss in hopes of stopping his attack, maybe even jumping in front of the attack to save their Supreme Leader; they didn't matter if that killed them!
But, Ichiro knew how important it was for Abyss to finally have a slight upper hand; he couldn't let his efforts go to waste!
''Aaarghghhh!'' Ichiro's muscles bulged in the painful matter. So far, he hasn't dared to use the power of Soul of Spearless because it is dangerous, and he doesn't know what effects it can have on his body, but he didn't have time to care anymore!
But for the first time during this fight... He unleashed a fraction of Spearless' true strength!
''Aarghhh!'' First and Second Order flinched and looked towards the right, just in time to see a spear's blade closing on them!
''Go help Supreme Leader!'' Second Order shouted and swung his sword towards the incoming spear.
''Alright!'' First Order shouted and leaped towards Abyss; it would take him only a few seconds to reach Abyss, even though he is almost 1 kilometer away from them!
''Not so fast!'' Suddenly, both First and Second Order heard a voice in their ears.
Spearless, who was aiming towards Second Order suddenly changed directions and started flying straight towards First Order!
Second Order was shocked at the sight and was even more shocked that the Spearless seemed to have its own will as it flew straight towards First Second, leaving Ichiro without any weapons.
''That was a mistake!'' Second Order shouted and changed directions of his sword attack, this time, he targeted Ichiro's body!
''Sorry, I am not unarmed!'' Suddenly, a sword appeared on Ichiro's hand, which he used to block Second Order's attack!
It was a sword of Slaughtering!
He lost the second sword of Slaughtering in the Underworld tournament, but he still had one!
''Damn!'' Second Order shouted angrily. He forgot about Spatial Ring in Ichiro's possession.
First Order put his sword as a block while he was in midair, and he expected to block the attack fairly easily, but he was mistaken.
Once the Spearless struck his block, he widened his eyes in shock after feeling his bones starting to tremble and feel pain!
''Wh—'' His words of disbelief got cut off after the Spearless destroyed his block and sent him flying through multiple walls made of concrete and brick.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmSecond Order heard the sudden noise behind him, which caused him to lose his concentration for a split second, but Ichiro used that to his advantage.
His swords sang in a bone-chilling tune as it started approaching Second Order's neck at a breathtaking speed; to many, it would be clear as sky that he would die after this strike.
But soon, Ichiro widened his eyes in shock and disbelief. He tried to stop his attack, but it was too late.
A small smirk appeared on Second Order's face as his sword moved even faster and struck Ichiro's sword's hilt, which sent it flying far away!
Once again, Ichiro was without any weapons, and Second Order used that to his advantage and stabbed his sword forwards.
His target was Ichiro's heart!
Ichiro anxiously put his hands forwards, ready to deflect the attack, but once the sword started getting closer, he knew that it was impossible to deflect it.
His thoughts started thinking about blocking it, and thoughts about abandoning True Iron Style surfaced into his mind; currently, it was on baby steps, and it would be safer to use his previous style.
But, he had a hunch that... If he now abandoned True Iron Style, he would never reach his fullest potential.
He had a choice to make, but gladly... Someone else made the decision for him.
A streak of silver appeared from the sky and landed on Ichiro's hand, which stopped Second Order's sword from moving any further.
It was Spearless!
Ichiro took a sigh of relief after feeling the cold and hard shaft of Spearless in his hand.
''Tsk!'' Second Order clicked his tongue and slammed his foot deep inside Ichiro's torso, sending him flying hundreds of meters backward.
''What a humiliation that brat like him gave so much trouble...'' After he thought that Ichiro had been dealt with. He turned his gaze back to the sky and angrily gazed at Abyss, who was floating like a God of Lightning!
He was about to rush to make a suicide attack to distract Abyss enough for his Supreme Leader to return, but he didn't have to...
Soon, a disgusting smirk appeared on his face as he saw a man with bloodied robes appearing from a distance with his hair disheveled and slight signs of burnt marks on his body, but otherwise, he was completely fine!
