Demons Battle

Arata

.

.

“Yo!” Arata chuckled.

“Wow wow wow It looks like I just won a huge lottery. I wasn’t really expecting you guys to fall for my trap.” Arata said in an excited manner. He was as happy as someone who just won a Lottery of a billion yen.

Even though the situation was quite amusing for Arata it wasn’t the case for the Group C members instead they felt greatly fazed by his appearance.

Gabriel became bewildered the moment he saw Arata. Arata was the one opponent they had to avoid. They had just one priority and that was to avoid Arata at all cost but the person they really wanted to avoid ended up becoming there first opponent. Gabriel thought that if there’s anything like bad lucks out there, results are beginning to show that he definitely has it. What was he going to do in such a situation? Do they really need to fight Arata? Is there no other way they could get out of this?

Gabriel was still feeling confused until he accidentally glanced at the king and then he realized...

‘Shit even if he’s here. The king is still close if I can knock out the king then we won’t have to fight him’ The king was only just a few steps away from him. In that moment deciding to attack the king seemed like the only viable option.

In that split second Gabriel quickly used all the explosives strength he could get from his thighs to boost himself forward as he drew back his fist which was already letting out steam. He immediately screamed with an attempt to throw a punch.

“Explosive burst!!!”

*Bam*

Before the rest of the Group C members could tell what was going on they heard a loud noise.  Gabriel’s arm was currently giving off a lot of steam. The steam from Gabriel’s arm misted both his view and the surrounding area.

And then everything became silent after the attack. The other members of the Group C were standing with a tensed expression trying to figure out the outcome of Gabriel’s attack.

The steam coming out from Gabriel’s bionic arm started to clear up making the area visible.

“Huff..huff..” Gabriel was seen breathing heavily.

They all knew Gabriel just attacked but the real question was Did he land his hit? Did he knock out the king? He felt his fist landing a solid hit. No his attack definitely made an impact. There was certainty in his face until the steam around him cleared off.

“Hey relax! Don’t go around trying to defeat my king to avoid fighting me” Arata said with a wry smile. Arata’s arm were currently letting out steam. Gabriel became stupefied. He knew Arata was fast but he wasn’t expecting him to be this fast. He wasn’t expecting Arata to cover such a distance in a short amount of time to block his attack. There was only one thought in his mind right now with his puzzled expression. How fast is this guy?

‘Shit! He’s fast. when did he-’

“Of course I’m fast. You didn’t think I’ll be slow did you?”

Gabriel eyes became widened as he heard Arata’s statement.

‘What the hell? This guy. He’s reading my mind’

“Gabriel-Kun!”

Gabriel heard Agatha screamed his name and in that moment he felt this intense pull on his body. It was as if the force of gravity was negligible on his body while he was been dragged back. His body was immediately pulled backwards against his will until he was already standing by Agatha’s side.

When the strange force of attraction on his body stopped it didn’t take a second for him to realize that this was Agatha’s ability.

“Are you okay?”

“I’m fine thanks” Gabriel answered without taking away his sight from Arata.

In short all the Group C members all had their eyes fixed on Arata. They were all in total alertness. They all got into a fighting stance. Slacking off even for a second while fighting somebody like Arata could mean defeat for all of them. They were unable to bring themselves to allow such a defeat. Defeat wasn’t an option.

Arata took a step forward.

The body language of the whole Group C members became tensed with a sense of so much alertness. They were all ready to react to any suspicious attack from Arata.

Arata looked at all their faces. After that he chuckled.

“I can see you guys have all made up your mind to knock me out but I can’t really tell why?”

And suddenly Arata mood became more brighten. He was unable to resist smiling at that moment while he spoke.

“I see. You all wanna take me out since I can take out your king.”

A slight shiver immediately struck down the body of Gabriel as he heard Arata’s last statement.

“I see. I was right to assume that this guy will  probably be able to tell the location of our king by just reading our thoughts. He’s the only exception. He’s the only fighter who’s not a king we have to knock out...That’s what you’re probably thinking right now...hahaha” Arata stared at Gabriel and laughed.

As expected from Arata the fifth member of The Strongest Five. The mind reader. He really was no joke. He involuntarily sniffed out their secret without effort. This was the reason they had to knock him out if they ever meet him.

Knocking him out sounded like something easy but it wasn’t. Arata has proven himself to be a far stronger opponent than them. Gabriel knew  he had to avoid a fight with Arata besides his king was right there. His king was right behind him. If they could knock out his king then he would be eliminated and they won’t have to fight him.

Gabriel’s facial expression became disturbed. They had to find an opening but how would they do that with this guy. This guy was clearly reading his mind. He knew all Gabriel’s thought word for word. His ability was really amazing but that amazing ability was currently fighting against Gabriel so Gabriel’s feelings were currently far from that of amazement rather he was currently in awe.

“I remembered you saying something before the start of round two.  That you’ll beat me right? Well you finally got your chance to do so.”

“Sora!”

Sora immediately flinched at the intimidating voice of Arata.

“You better give me a worthy performance because there’s one thing I hate the most and that’s weak people”

Sora grunted his teeth and said. “So are you saying I’m weak?”

“Hahaha...of course you are! You’re like a cat asking a god If he’s actually a cat.”

Arata was currently using the bullying strategy against Sora. Sora had been bullied by Arata for a long time now. It got to the state were Arata’s voice caused terror in his whole mind. Sora had to go to the web and research on how to deal with a bully but his research didn’t lead to anything helpful. Still he found out something.

People became bullies because there were trying to hide a part of themselves. Most time they were just trying to channels the negative aspect of their lives onto others. Was this observation true? Well he can’t tell but..

Sora eyes became widened as he stared towards the ground in anger.

‘But..’

He immediately clenched his fist and raised his head to glare at Arata.

‘But..’  Sora gave a grimace of pain.

‘ But..I really don’t care if you can read my mind. But since you can. I want you to know this...I want to beat the fucking hell out of you!’ In that split second he vanished.

He quickly appeared behind the king and immediately followed up with a punch attack.

“Didn’t I say you’re too weak! What makes you think you can beat me?” Arata shrieked as he  went impulsive and counteracted Sora’s blow.

‘Damn it! he’s fast...but I’ll just have to go even more faster!’

Sora vanished again into thing air and quickly reappeared behind Arata.

“Ha!” Arata swiftly turned around with his enthusiastic facial expression. Arata was fighting like a child who was currently playing and having fun.

“Guess what! I can go faster too” Arata reached out to grab Sora with his right hand.

“Huh?”

Arata became a little fazed when he suddenly noticed two incoming attacks both coming from both his left and right side. Gabriel appeared with a kick attack from his right side while Agatha appeared with a blow from his left.

*Bam*

Gabriel’s and Agatha’s attack made a sound which was a proof of a solid impact but the sounds of the impact were due to their attacks landing on Arata’s arm. Arata had successfully counteracted their attacks with both his arms. Counteracting their attacks was something that felt easy for him due to his agility but he immediately noticed something.

‘That’s right give me a boost so that I can get rid of this guy!’ Gabriel used Arata’s arm and his back as a means to propel himself forward towards the king.

“No you don’t!” In that moment Arata swiftly turned around to go after Gabriel.

“Hey focus on me!” Agatha immediately used her telekinesis ability to pull Arata back. His body was dragged backwards with force. She used her telekinesis to throw him back with force which caused him to collide with the tunnel walls.

As for Gabriel this was all the opening he needed. Gabriel had already gotten quite close to the king. Finally it was time to end this. He stretched his arm to attack the king but he was forgetting something. The king just looked at Gabriel and smiled.

“Hey i may not be as strong as Arata. But I’m not that weak!”

Gabriel had forgotten that this king was also a powered human. He went in too carelessly without predicting to receive any counterattack from the king. Why did he let his guard down against the king?

In that instant Gabriel felt this intense rush of wind pressure blasting against him. He struggled to go through the wind but he was blown backwards by the intense wind pressure.

He was blown away till he finally got his hold back on the ground with the help of Agatha’s telekinesis.

“Are you okay?” Agatha asked.

“Yeah I’m fine.”

“Try and be more car-“

*Bam*

Agatha was swiftly punched in the face by Arata before she could finish her statement. She flew away from the impact of the punch. He struck his attack so fast that not one of them sensed him. This guy. His fighting style was really amazing.

“Hey hey hey Don’t get distracted here. I thought you guys were all supposed to focus on me.”

*Bah*

Arata instinctively caught an incoming punch from Sora by catching his fist. Damn he wasn’t just fast but his reflexes were also over the roof.

Gabriel was already about to charge forward with his blast until Arata threw away Sora like he was nothing towards him.

Sora was already a second away from colliding with Gabriel but he vanished instantly that very moment.

*Bam*

Arata quickly felt an impact on his back. Sora teleported himself behind him and collided with him instead of Gabriel.  Arata lost his balance due to the impact of Sora’s body. In that moment Gabriel saw his opening to attack. He quickly drew his fist with an attempt to blow the hell out of Arata.

*Bam*

A loud sound of attack was heard and Gabriel was seen flying away backward as he crashed into the tunnel wall.

‘Shit!’ Gabriel grumbled in pain while holding his Stomach.

He immediately glanced at Arata who was already trying get back his balance.

‘Shit! He took my blow to the face and at the same time he was able to land his own blow to my stomach. Shit! He could have blocked my attack instead he chose to attack recklessly. Goddamn it! his blow really is painful! Does he really want to see me in pain that badly?’

“Yeah I want to. I just don’t want to show you pain. I want to also show you the difference in our strengths by beating you all. Then after that i will go for your king. I’ll make your king and her guard suffer before finally knocking them out.” Arata chuckled.

Gabriel and Sora became enraged after hearing Arata. This Bastard is really beginning to get full of himself. Just because he’s a member of the Strongest Five he talks like he’s all royalty. This was what Gabriel and Sora were probably thinking with their furious facial expression but they were not the only ones furious right now.

“Huh?”

Arata was immediately pulled backwards. But this time the pull on his body was very much stronger and faster. He felt like his body wasn’t his. He swiftly turned around against his will while his body was still being dragged back in mid air.

At that very instant he turned around in mid air against his will, he immediately saw Agatha angered expression with a bleeding lip. She gave out a grimace look of pain and screamed.

“The only one who’s gonna be knocked out here is you!”

*Bam*

Immediately there was a solid hit to Arata’s stomach that he barely managed to swallow back a groan. At this moment his stomach sank in and felt turned inside out as Agatha’s fist sinked in.

Agatha quickly smiled at Arata’s sudden facial expression. It was an expression of pain. A member of The Strongest Five currently experiencing pain. It’s really not what you see everyday.

“You may be a member of The Strongest Five but that doesn’t make you a God. You can still feel pain so get back to reality!” Agatha quickly grabbed Arata by the neck with her right hand. Then she swiftly picked him up and crashed him to the ground like he was nothing. There was a loud sound of the shattered ground as Arata’s body impacted with it.

But she didn’t stop there. Agatha picked him up again and swiftly threw him towards the tunnel wall. Arata collision with the wall made the wall break off bits of concrete. Before Arata knew it Agatha was already in front of him and she impulsively followed her attack with a series of indiscriminate blows.

Gabriel and Sora were totally astonished as they gaze at the scene. Agatha was clearly kicking Arata’s ass. She was currently using her telekinesis to hold him in one place while attacking. No it wasn’t t just that. She also fused her telekinesis with her body which  increased her agility in handling her opponent. At this moment she was handling her opponent like a toy.

Both Gabriel’s and Sora’s eyes became widened as they gazed at Agatha in awe. She really was a red Gi student. She was strong.

“Get the king!” Agatha screamed as she alarmed her Group Members from their still posture.

Both Gabriel and Sora Immediately regained back their sense of urgency after hearing Agatha. They both moved swiftly towards Arata’s king to attack.

“Hey I said stay away!” The king caused an intense wind disturbance. It was like a little hurricane blowing away Gabriel and Sora off the king. The king who was right in the middle of the hurricane was not affected by it.

‘So this is his ability’ Gabriel struggled to prevent himself from been blown away. He stood his ground while covering his face with his arm.

Sora teleported to the king’s front to attack but the moment he appeared in front of the king, he was immediately blown back by the wind.

“What do we do? He’s not letting us in!” Gabriel screamed while he tried balancing himself on the ground to prevent the wind from pushing him any further.

“We will have to force our way in!”

While Gabriel and Sora were trying to get in close to knock out the king, Agatha kept holding Arata off. She was still indiscriminately attacking Arata who was pinned to the wall with her telekinesis.

She kept punching and punching without any intentions of stopping.

*Bam*

Agatha immediately fell to her knees in pain.

‘How did he break out of my telekinesis? Did he really put all his strength in his right leg just to land that kick?’

“Yes I did!” Arata swiftly followed his attack with an uppercut which sent Agatha flying away.

“Oh shit!” Gabriel noticed Arata had broken loose from Agatha’s hold already. He instinctively turned around to react.

“Hey!”

‘Shit he’s more faster than before!’

Arata right hand was already on Gabriel’s shoulder. Gabriel immediately felt himself getting dragged by Arata. Arata immediately threw Gabriel towards Sora. Gabriel collided with Sora and they both fell to the ground.

Both the Gabriel and Sora crashed to the ground in pain. They were both currently wondering. Was he playing with us right from the start? How strong is this guy? They had to ask again since Arata’s aura was somewhat different now. Is he just getting serious?

“Is this what you all got? I’m just beginning to get excited! Come on play time is over” Arata screamed in a bloodthirsty tone.
