 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?"

The mist was thick, it was cold and he could barely see what was in front of him. Icicles were coming at him from different angles and he could hardly evade any of them.He saw himself at a dead end. He could not see anything he could do that would cause him to win the match. He was tired, bleeding, aching a

  • Keeping cool

    "Who should I fear more?" Kaen wondered"Is it the monster that makes me shudder""Or is it the vessel that contains it?"As Kaen prepared to engage his opponent, all that he could think of was the fear that he felt. He could not forget it.Not many remember it but there was once a great incident that took place in Fubuki island. It was an incident that almost claimed the lives of all who lived on the island.A great frost, so cold that no flame could resist, quickly spreading and freezing everything in its path. In the dark winter night when many slept, this frost came along to take their breath.Somehow, everyone woke up in their beds the next morning with no recollection of the past twelve hours. This event sparked many rumors and among them was the rumour that the residents died and were brought back, proponents of this rumor backed their claims by speculating a tragic event within the twelve hours period.That night came to be known as the night where men slept.

    "THE SIGNS DO NOT LIETHE TRUTH WILL NOT DIEAS TIME WILL GO BYWE WILL SAY OUR GOODBYESFOR THE TRUE PRIEST TO BE BORNTHE FALSE GODS WILL ALL DIE"Orie heard these words just before he woke up. He looked around in confusion, trying to figure out where he was. The last thing he could remember was that he was surrounded by dust in the arena.He looked at the nurse who seemed surprised for a reason and asked "how long have I been here?""F... Four days" the nurse answered nervously and Orie remain silent"We thought you were dead" she added"Who won?" Orie asked"What?" The nurse replied, still shaken up"My fight" Orie rephrased"Who won?""Well..." The nurse replied"The other guy was disqualified so...""... I guess you won""Oh" Orie said as he tried to get off from the bed but the but the nurse immediately moved to stop him."You just woke up sir" she said"We can't let you walk around till we know for sure that you're okay""I'm okay" Orie replied as he got down from the bed but

  • Still standing

    Of the expectations that the people had, no one expected that a majority of the spectators would be okay with the outcome of the fight. They were sure that what they saw was real, they were sure that what they saw was fair, they were sure that the contestants gave it their all and they were sure that the winner deserved his victory.Even those who didn't support him in the beginning were cheering for him with all their heart, even those who lost their bets because of him rejoiced at the sight.There were many good fighters in the tournament, many who at the wave of their hands would cause marvelous sights but of all the fights in the tournament, Orie had shown them most invigorating.The cheers went on for a while until people in the crowd began to notice that the referee was yet to formally declare a winner. Soon they noticed that orie had not made a single movement since the clearing of the dust, he was still standing but he could not move.Though one person was on the floor while t

  • The bird and the beast

    From within the circle came forth a huge bird of prey; a hawk. It appeard to be fully covered in silver. Just by looking at it, one could tell that its beak was harder than a rock and that its claws were as sharp as blades, even its wings didn't seem flying was all they could do. At this point in the battle where pride was being cast aside, the same thought ran through the minds of everyone watching. "NOW THE REAL FIGHT BEGINS" "Go" at this command from Chris, the bird threw itself at Orie with incredible speed. Orie evaded the bird without problem but what came next was quite challenging. After evading an attack from above he found himself facing one from below. Not many can escape such attacks from Chris. He would use the bird to make his opponents dodge in a certain manner, then he would go in for the real attack when their balance had been compromised. It was quite an effective move, but just not for Orie. "How is this possible?" Chris thought to himself as h

  • The market day

    "This is my day" "This is my day" "This is my day" It kept repeating but Natsumi could not understand what it meant" "This is my day" She knew she had forgotten something "This is my day" She was sure she had forgotten something "This is my day" Something that would help her discern the situation. "This is my day" It stopped as soon as she realized what it meant. She remembered that when she thought it was Orie's birthday, he had told her these words. She remembered how he told her of the four market days of his tribe and that he shared his name with one of them. She remembered that he told her how the days affected his power, and this made her the least surprised person among the audience when Orie got back up on his feet. "WHAT... THE... F***!!!!?" Ellie screamed at the camera "How much blood does this guy have?" "He's lost so much yet he is still standing" "What kind of immortal dragon sh** is this" "This is not easy to believ
