 As Orie watched Shin, he heard the voices of the gods saying "Time up. It's his turn now." and the markings on body faded away. Then he snapped his fingers and was immediately dressed like his normal self with the overcoat and scarf and backed away. 

  Shin grabbed Endo and jumped out of the pit then put him in a sitting position and said to him "I need you to listen to me"

  The rage inside Endo was too much. there was no way he was going to comply with the man that massacred his entire kingdom but that wasn't the only reason. Everyone; including Shin found it strange that throughout the entire ordeal, he didn't utter any word. If anyone was as enraged as Endo was he would have at least let out some the rage verbally and even if his mind was in disarray, a thousand years alone was quite enough to come up with a meticulous plan to exact his revenge. But for some reason every decision Endo made so far was crude as if he didn't even care about revenge. It was as if his objective was to kill without reason.

  The one thing that people who seek revenge have in common is the fact that they get obsessed with their targets. They try to look for weaknesses and watch out for strengths but most of all, they are obsessed with finding out what would make their opponents suffer. 

  It is a known fact that no avenger would grant his enemy an easy death but Endo's actions seemed to be disproving of this fact. Every one of his strikes was aimed at finishing the battle quickly even when he was strong enough to bully his opponent.

  There were two conclusions that one would jump into when in this situation. The first was that revenge wasn't his main aim and that there was something more important to him that he could gain from killing Shin. This could explain why he kept striking with decisive blows. The second conclusion correlates with the first with the exception of the fact that Endo wasn't really in control of his own actions. Someone else was using his rage as a means to try and get rid of Shin and It was quite obvious who it was:The order

  Shin was aware of the existence of an ability that caused uncontrollable rage. It didn't require any form of control or mastery all the caster had to do was to infuse his target with a dose of uncontrollable rage. What makes this power scary is that not even the the caster has control of what the receiver does and since it doesn't require any form of control it may as well be infinitely powerful. The receiver decides who to take out his rage on and if the caster is lucky their targets might be the same. This spell is most effective when the receiver already has someone in mind and in Endo's case, it was super effective. 

  The only known means of breaking the spell was for Endo to let out all the rage. If that didn't work, they would have to beat the living shit out of him until he regained his senses. 

  "let's do this" Shin said as he doused Endo's suit with enough lightning to fully charge it. "This energy should match the rage" he said to himself "with this he should be able to let it all out" he thought as he backed away slowly from the awakening Endo. 

  Slowly, Endo stood up and looked at the man in front of him and with little hesitation he rushed to attack. even he wasn't as fast as Shin but he was fast enough stop him from from launching any counter attacks. 

  The battle was kept at a stalemate in accordance to Shin's plan but Endo's rage couldn't let things stay that way. Not even up to a minute into the battle, Endo abruptly created a huge distance between him and Shin. Before Shin could close the gap, Endo stabbed his sword into the ground and yelled out "IRON LEGION!!!!" and immediately, there was an army standing right in front of Shin. At this point, Shin without doubt admitted that he had messed up.

  No one expected this 

  They knew Endo was kinda pissed 

  But they forgot to check his power 

  And it all kinda led to this. 

  Aside the fact they were facing an army, something else was bothering Victor. 

  "Shiro, are you seeing this?!!"

  "of course I am, who isn't?!!"

  Right in front of them stood no ordinary army. It was surprising enough that a guy from a thousand years ago wore a suit of armour that surpassed the technology of the current era, but for him to have an advanced robot army; that was just too much to handle. 

  The robots didn't carry swords; this became known to everyone when they started running from the lasers that shot out of the robot's hands. 

  "Shin you should've at least seen this coming" Shiro yelled amidst the rain of lasers 

  "Well I never really fought the guy" Shin replied with a shrug

   "I basically just used the spell immediately I saw him"

  "And why the f**k would you do that?!!" Shiro yelled

  "I don't know" Shin replied

   "maybe it's because the whole f**king island was sinking and that was the only way to save him"

  "oooh"

  "oooooh"

  "Anyway" Shiro said

  "let's destroy these advanced metal scraps"

  Not really much was said after then

  Shiro and Shin rushed into battle 

  and the others followed after them 

 Shiro smiled as he put on his headphones and let the rhythms flow. Others also got battle ready; Mia had swords on standby, Yamato had his clones ready as he set up a barrier to stop anyone from leaving the area(this was done under Orie's Instructions), while Orie was busy doing something Tanaka couldn't understand. 

  "What are you doing?" Tanaka asked as she watched Orie walk around her multiple times. 

  "I'm setting up a barrier" Orie replied as he bent down and touched the floor. 

  "around me?" she asked 

  "yes" Orie replied as he watched the crystal clear barrier surround Tanaka and stood up. 

  "Nothing can get in, nothing can get out. This applies to you too." he said as he walked to go join the fight. 

  Shin seemed to be faring well against the robots but that wasn't the case for the Others. The robots were highly tolerant to lighting and this made things hard for Shiro. Shin had the strength and speed to dismantle each of the robots within seconds but was having a really hard time since physical attacks were his only option. 

  The robots also had very tough armour. even Mia's swords had a hard time getting through. Each blade she pulled out was either broken or blunted after few strikes and at rate she was going, she wasn't far away from exhaustion. 

  Victor wasn't afraid of exhaustion. He was doing just fine. He was teleporting all over the place and every robot that aimed at him ended up shooting his fellow soldiers. The only problem he had was the one that he shared with everyone except for Shin: There was no end to the Iron legion. 

  Yamato's issue was also the same Victor's but Orie had it worse than any one else; he was the one facing Endo. 

  "Isn't it about time you used those your godly powers?" Shiro yelled 

  "It doesn't work that way" Orie replied

  "what do you mean?" Shiro asked

  "I can only use them when I'm doing something for the gods and right now I'm not" Orie answered

  "I saw you using them last time, what were you doing for doing for the gods then?" Shiro answered

  "saving you" Orie answered

  "And what do I have to do with the gods?" Shiro asked

  "you are Amadioha's thunder"

  After hearing Orie's answer to his question the only thing could come out of Shiro's mouth was "ehhh?"

    Ellie watched the match play out with full concentration. The cameras were rolling, the stream was on, but there was no commentary, no intro, just total concentration.Waramaki motioned his hands and the tornado split into four, spinning around the arena randomly but with the ultimate aim of hitting Orie.At this point, Kojiro had expanded the stadium as wide as he could. This was the fourth expansion, the first was at the beginning of the match, the second was when Waramaki placed his elements all over the arena, and the third was when he saw the tornado. As soon as he saw the tornado split he knew exactly where things were going and expanded the stadium to its maximum capacity. He had initially thought that since Orie wasn't the type to throw around huge attacks, there would be no need for maximum expansion but as the match progressed, he realised that Waramaki would be throwing enough for two.A tornado is not something that can be evaded at the last minute, it has a pull and that

  • Man to man

    Those who have seen battle know this feeling. The feeling of having an anticipated moment finally arrive. Nothing can prepare one for such a feeling. No matter how much one prepares, no matter what one plans, no matter what one imagines, when the time comes, one would still be overtaken by that feeling.Orie and Waramaki stared at each other from across the arena and both of them uttered nothing. The stadium was loud and the crowd was roaring but between the two men in the arena, it was very quiet. With focused eyes, they watched each other, monitoring each breath, noticing each drop of sweat that fell from the face of the other."I was wrong to doubt your abilities" waramaki said, breaking the tension"I accept that you are strong and have every right to be a teacher of this school""And as an apology...""...

  • When the ice queen laughs

    "well, Mr Addison" Ellie said as the camera faced Orie. "What are your thoughts on the current state of the match?" "I'm really not sure" Orie replied "To be honest, this is the first time I've seen Her like that so I don't actually know what to expect" "But if I had to take a guess..." "... I'd say I'm glad she wasn't like this in our match" Natsumi missed her first strike, and her second, and her third, and her fourth, and... all her strikes, she missed all of it. As it turns out, Kurobe had quite the reflex and was really good at evasion and keeping the distance. Every time Natsumi got close, he quickly evaded and put distance between them, pushing her back, attacking from blind spots, setting walls between them and a Whole lot of moves that prevented him from getting hit but that didn't stop his opponent from trying. With each passing second, Natsumi got closer to landing a hit on Kurobe. At first it was him feeling the little breeze as her fist fle

  • Cold hard truth

    Many things can anger a fighter. An opponent that toys with them, someone that just won't stay down and in many cases, a direct insult. But none of those things were happening to Kurobe, he was facing something far more annoying; an opponent that isn't paying attention to him. At first glance, it looked like Kurobe was dominating the match without giving his opponent any chance to counter, but there were many times since the beginning of the fight where Natsumi would have been able to strike back but did nothing instead. She had barely moved from where she was standing at the start and she was in deep thought. All Natsumi did from the beginning of the match was to fend off the incoming attacks while thinking about what Orie had said to her. "I have finally seen your true self" "I finally know you" She couldn't muster up the courage to ask him what he meant because she was too afraid of his answer. She was afraid of the truth. "If the real me is a monster...
