Chapter 245: Cloudy Vision.
*Bam*
Erik entered the end of the corridor, and he instantly kicked the door to pieces.
''Where are you?!'' Erik's enraged voice echoed in the room. He narrowed his eyes as the room was looking like a luxurious bar.
This was the first room Ichiro was in!
Erik saw one of the doors being in flames as the vision was very bad because of the cloud of smoke. He couldn't see anything in front of him, and he started instantly coughing after the smoke assaulted his mouth and nose.
*Cough*
''Damn!'' Erik covered his mouth and nose with a grim expression.
He was the trail of blood coming all the way here. He looked around the floor to find any signs of blood… But he didn't see anything.
He could see the floor very clearly, but there wasn't even a sign of a drop of blood on the ground.
''He didn't come here…?'' Erik looked towards the destroyed door and was sure Ichiro had come here.
''He is here…'' Erik's face became vicious as he started running around the room.
*Cough*
While coughing, he tried to see in front of him, but the vision was becoming blurrier and blurrier.
''Damn!'' Erik walked past one of the doors… But the door was slightly ajar, and he didn't see it!
The door slowly opened, and a shadowy figure appeared behind Erik.
'Hmm…' Erik's senses were going on overdrive as he felt that something was wrong!
He grabbed his pistols tighter; he didn't turn around; instead, he pointed one of the pistols behind him and fired!
*BANG*
He didn't even look where the bullet went to, but after he fired. He quickly jumped forwards and turned around to see the figure behind him… But he didn't see anyone.
'Was it my imagination…' Erik narrowed his eyes; he was sure that there was someone behind him.
Erik has a special Bloodline called Double Everything.
He has a double personality, but he also shares two senses. His pain is also doubled, so the wound Ichiro caused hurt him twice as much!
If Ichiro knew about it, he would have probably tried to kill him.
But, he is still ignorant about the Bloodline abilities. They are very rare, and Erik's is one of the strangest ones.
With his double senses, he felt clearly that someone was behind him. It is his fighting senses and reaction senses that warned him about.
Currently, he couldn't see anything in front of him, only a cloud of smoke, which completely blocked his vision.
''Fuck it!'' Erik cursed and pointed his pistols towards the cloud of smoke and started firing.
*BANG!!!!*
The bullets left the barrels like cannons and flew through the cloud of smoke. He only heard about the bullets hitting a wall, which caused a bam sound.
''Tsk.'' Erik clicked his tongue as it was soon time to reload again.
He quickly was about to reload, but then he felt a sharp pain in his thigh.
*SPURT*
''ARGHH!'' He screamed in agony; he snapped his head towards his thigh and saw a dagger inside his thigh!
''Grah!'' He grabbed the dagger and threw it away. Blood instantly gushed out, which made him feel weaker.
''Come out, coward!'' Erik's scream of anger resounded in the room.
''Alright.'' A bone-chilling voice came behind him.
Erik's eyes widened; he snapped his head towards the sound and saw Ichiro holding a blade, which was currently only an inch away from slicing his head off.
Erik paled and dropped his guns. He shakily put his two hands as surrender, ''M-Mercy.''
Ichiro didn't plan to kill him yet; he has a lot of questions.
''Yesterday at the party, you were completely different; what changed?'' Ichiro asked.
Erik gulped and was about to lie, but then the sword's blade moved closer to the neck.
''Don't lie.'' Ichiro's cold voice rang in his ears.
Erik shakily nodded, ''I-It is my Bloodline ability.''
''Bloodline ability…'' Ichiro frowned.
''Y-Yes, when it is activated, it will change my personality into a blood-thirsty murdered.'' Erik gulped and pleaded, ''P-Please, d-don't kill me… I am b-back to my nervous self.''
Ichiro snorted and turned around to leave the room.
But then… A small smirk appeared on Erik's face as he was slowly about to grab his gun from the ground.
''Fool.'' A cold voice came behind him.
''Eh?'' Erik looked confused, but then a sharp blade pierced through his neck.
''UGHGHGHG!'' Erik twitched in agony and looked towards Ichiro's figure with a blurry vision, but then the figure became blurry and completely disappeared.
Ichiro was standing behind Erik as he watched his Illusionary figure disappear.
He used [Iron Illusion]
There are other uses than only training; he can use it as a decoy as well.
Ichiro pulled the sword back from the neck of Erik.
Erik tried to desperately to stop the bleeding, but nothing helped, and soon he bled out.
*Beep* *Beep*
[10:16:09]
[Eliminations: 4]
[Rank: 5]
[Fighters Left: 95]
Ichiro put the swords back on the sheathes and left the room, which was full of smoke.
''Argh.'' Ichiro groaned in pain as his right thigh was still hurting. The Healing Potion healed the visible wound, but there were some muscle tissues, which weren't completely healed.
He took another Healing Potion from the Inventory and gulped it down.
The pain started subduing until there wasn't any pain left.
Ichiro took a deep breath and entered the first room he saw in the corridor. It was a small room with a window, which showed the Underworld city, and a soft-looking couch.
There was also a TV stuck on the wall, which showed the timeline and four cameras located in each corner capturing every part of the room.
Ichiro slumped down the couch and started taking deep breaths. Even though his physical pain is gone, there is still some mental exhaustion.
He barely survived, and he needed some rest.
''I am so tired of this sh*t…'' Ichiro sighed and closed his eyes.
[Are you sure that sleeping is a good idea?]
''Bitch, please. I managed to sleep when I was 100km inside enemy's territory.'' Ichiro entered deep slumber with a relaxed smile on his face.
That smile caused everyone who was watching the scene to have twitching eyebrows and enraged faces.
He is completely making fun of this tournament!
