Chapter 220: One Vs. Three.
''Let's have a wonderful match!'' Amy shouted and left the arena.
A countdown was shown on the screen.
[10…]
Daniel and Lock glared at Ichiro.
''Question, do you have a girlfriend?'' Daniel asked with his bone-chilling voice. He was holding his sword in his other hand.
Ichiro glanced at him and replied, ''I do.''
Daniel grimaced, ''Well then… You are dead!''
Ichiro snorted, ''You don't have the capability of killing me.''
''No, but we have!'' Daniel grinned and pointed towards Lock.
Lock was in his fighting stance, ready to pounce on Ichiro.
''Tag team?'' Ichiro raised an eyebrow, ''How cute you actually think that outcome will change.''
Daniel grinned, ''Not tag team…'' He pointed towards Emma, who was holding her dagger, looking at Ichiro with cold eyes, eyes of an assassin!
Ichiro snorted.
''I kill him, and I will get fishes, right?'' Emma asked.
Daniel nodded, ''That's right.''
''Good…'' Aura around Emma changed, now she looked like Apex Predator!
The atmosphere in the stadium instantly changed after she unleashed her hidden aura.
The spectators and VIP guests looked amused.
''KILL HIM!''
''HAHAHA, I AM GOING TO ENJOY THIS!''
''CUT HIS LIMBS, CUT HIS TONGUE, CUT HIS ANNOYING FACE!''
[6…]
Ichiro cracked his neck and went into his own fighting stance. He created this fighting stance during his stay on Frozen Island.
He didn't previously have any special stance for the sword, but now he does!
His stance mimicked slightly of his Cat Stance.
His legs were positioned similarly, but his hands were slightly in different positions. His left arm was stretched forwards, and his right arm was above his head.
The swords were in attacking positions, ready to cut anyone who comes into his attacking range.
[4…]
The stadium became quiet.
Daniel, Lock, and Emma were ready to shoot forwards.
[3…]
Ichiro grabbed his swords tighter.
[2…]
Daniel, Lock, and Emma put more strength on their legs.
[1…]
Ichiro took a deep breath.
[0…]
''FIGHT!''
*BOOM*
Daniel, Lock, and Emma shot forwards with unbelievable speed, but since they were on different corners, some were further away.
Lock was further away from Ichiro. That's why Daniel and Emma were first to arrive on his spot.
Daniel swung his sword towards Ichiro's neck while Emma stabbed her dagger towards Ichiro's torso.
Ichiro moved his swords with perfect timing. He first deflected Emma's dagger and pushed Daniel's sword away.
Daniel was sent sliding a few meters while Emma's posture became a mess.
*BAM*
Ichiro's kick landed on Emma's ribs, which sent her flying a dozen meters away.
The spectators saw already from the first contact that Ichiro is stronger than both of them!
Then, Lock appeared without any weapons.
He is a master of hand-to-hand combat, and using weapons would reduce his combat ability.
The same thing happened to Roy.
If he was using his specialty, he might have not died.
Lock went into a horse stance. He put his hand close to his waist and unleashed his windy blow!
The wind parted their ways as Lock's fist approached Ichiro.
But, even though that punch looked extremely powerful, Ichiro put his swords on X formation and blocked the fist!
*BAM*
Lock's fist hit the two swords, but the swords and Ichiro didn't flinch one bit.
[Steel Edge - Sword Universe Stop!]
''H-How!'' Lock cried out, but then Ichiro's gaze turned to the side, where Daniel appeared with his sword.
Ichiro slammed his foot deep inside Lock's body, which sent him flying a few hundred meters away. He also coughed mouthfuls of blood in mid-air.
Ichiro quickly put his sword as a block and managed to stop Daniel's sword slash.
But, he couldn't relax, because Emma appeared behind him!
Emma thrusted her dagger forwards. In everyone's eyes, it looked like it would definitely hit its mark!
But, Ichiro looked extremely calm.
Daniel and Emma paled because out of nowhere… Both of their weapons were deflected!
Ichiro's swords moved with a speed that should be way above human capabilities!
Emma's dagger was only an inch away from hitting, but Ichiro still had more than enough time to deflect it.
Daniel's posture became a mess, and Ichiro took advantage of it.
Ichiro's kick landed on his ribs, which sent Daniel flying towards the edge of the arena!
Daniel paled and used his nails to stay on the arena. His legs were already hanging out from the arena. His hands started bleeding as he tried to pull himself up.
While Lock and Daniel were gone.
Ichiro focused on Emma.
He swung his swords with perfect accuracy and terrifying strength.
Emma desperately tried to dodge the strikes, but soon, cut wounds appeared all around her frail body.
The spectators were quiet.
They didn't expect it to be so one-sided.
Most of them clenched their fists in anger.
''AH!'' Emma had to let go of her dagger because Ichiro's sword strike would have broken her wrist if she kept holding it.
Ichiro quickly swung his blade, and it started approaching her neck with terrifying speed.
Emma sighed and closed her eyes. She can't fight against this monster of a man.
But Ichiro stopped the sword strike. He used it to block the unexpected dagger!
The holder of the dagger was Lock!
He grabbed Emma's dagger and tried to use Emma's death to his advantage to deal a finishing blow on Ichiro.
But, Ichiro stopped the killing strike and decided to block an attack that could prove fatal.
It clearly shows his immense fighting experience!
Ichiro doesn't only seem stronger in fighting, but even his fighting experience is way above them!
Lock felt despair, but then Daniel appeared behind Ichiro with his sword!
His hands were bleeding, but he didn't care!
''DIEEEEEEEE!'' He screamed and thrusted his sword forwards.
Lock grinned and swung the dagger as well.
Emma opened her eyes and used an assassin technique.
[Assassin Style - Silencing]
Her hand started approaching Ichiro's neck, this move had only one purpose, killing the target with perfect accuracy.
Ichiro watched as three very deadly attacks approached his body.
But… He grinned.
[Iron Dragon - Sword Breath!]
He swung his blades around him and sent a terrifying wind pressure towards three figures!
Emma widened her eyes and quickly retreated. Her honed senses told her that she would die if she didn't retreat.
Lock as well retreated with a pale face.
But… Daniel didn't!
''DIEEEEEE!'' He tried to push his sword deeper, but the wind pressure stopped the sword.
Soon, the sword started cracking, and the wind pressure started assaulting his figure.
''AAHHHHHHHHHH!'' Daniel cried in agony as he flew like cannon towards the spectator stands.
*BOOM*
His broken body landed on the spectator stands…
Dozens of spectators died from the collision.
While Daniel's condition is still unknown…
