Meanwhile at the north side of Comet city, Mirai's fight against Dowto continued.

And just as their fight had continued so did Mirai's fast approaching death.

"It seems your allies are occupied with my own, so what will you do now Zeon?" Dowto explained the situation as he grew more disappointed.

"I still can't use energy so what do I do, how will I escape?" Mirai thought to himself, ideas running thin.

And as Mirai took his final breaths a idea sparked.

"My sword, ill take damage but ill survive" Mirai thought to himself as he put all his hope into the craftsmanship of the forge brothers.

Twenty three seconds later and the flarite overheated inside, burning away Mirai's meteorite cage.

But at the cost of this move came severe damage to Mirai's flarite broad sword as well as himself.

Mirai's right arm had become scorched, suffering burns from his own attack.

"So you escaped, but do you still think you can win without any energy and a broken sword".

"But I guess it was hopeless from the start, your race may be feared but everyone is wrong to do so, as it's your curse mark that gives you strength so without it your practically useless, a waste of an existence" Dowto threw his chain, the dagger slashing against Mirai's face.

And now bearing his bearded axe in hand Dowto rushed in.

Galloping towards Mirai, Dowto leapt forwards mercilessly cutting into Mirai's chest.

Spewing blood Mirai's death was almost certain.

Using Mirai as a jump pad Dowto leapt backwards, stained in crimson blood.

But suddenly without warning the infused energy disappeared.

"No it can't be, twelve minutes can't have passed by already" Dowto panicked, his body trembling as Mirai's energy returned to him.

"Hey what's wrong I thought I was a waste of existence that's what you said right?" Mirai's entered imperial three doubling his energy's strength.

Dropping his flarite broad sword to the ground, Mirai created his duel swords of the zeons.

And as Mirai lowered his stance down to the ground, a meteorite covered Rinock appeared.

His face caught in utter shock and terror, about to lose Dowto he called out "no don't do it".

But just as he called out his last word, Dowto also shouted out "my prince stay back".

"I have already stated that you won't survive our meeting Zeon and I meant what I said" Dowto regained his confidence.

"Don't think your the only one who can use energy" Dowto created a bearded axe made of life energy.

But not just at an ordinary level...

Basic releases have multiple stages.

For example a sword of raw zeon energy is known as raw at its first stage.

But at its second stage it becomes a dominant sword.

So in terms of life energy, the first stage is life, the second stage is red....

And as for the third stage its scarlet.

Any scarlet releases created by life energy gain the effect, the blade siphons one minute worth of life energy for every cut it makes.

But there is a negative to scarlet releases, the move drains twenty seconds of the user's life span for every minute that passes.

Dowto swung his scarlet axe into the air, ready to siphon Mirai's life energy.

While Mirai dashed forwards at a accelerated speed, the blades of his swords become sharper, more efficient.

Dowto struck Mirai like he was a tree stump, but the Zeon was too fast.

The release known as sword: duel cutting dash, increases the blade's sharpness so for the next three hits they can cut through almost anything.

Strike one, Mirai slashed his blades upon Dowto's achilles.

And as Dowto crashed down to his knees, Mirai dealt strike two slitting the Rinock's wrists.

And finally strike three, Mirai aimed for Dowto's head but the prince caught the blade cracking his meteorite skin, but also succeeding in saving his ally's life.

Mirai teleported a short distance away, preparing his next killing move.

Dowto rose up to his feet, his face furious.

"Damm it, my prince it's too dangerous for you to fight in my place" Dowto collapsed to his feet once again.

"And its also too dangerous for you to fight him alone, now that your advanced technique has failed the only hope we have is too fight him together" Prince Rast spoke while absorbing the gas around him.

And as Mirai swooped in for another assault Rast Jr released it all taking Mirai's vision away.

And as the gas was once again absorbed, Dowto was revealed to have been completely healed.

But not by life energy, but by the meteorite that built the surrounding city.

"Fine my prince lets take his life together" Dowto dropped his meteorite axe to floor, as he created a second scarlet axe.

Swinging them both straight towards Mirai, who leapt backwards dropping his swords to the ground.

"Damm it, as long as I had energy I could've killed one easily but together this'll be a struggle..., I guess I really don't get to save this for Uzunami" Mirai infused energy throughout his whole body, causing it to turn midnight blue...

"Technique activation: dominance" and as Mirai brazenly called out his technique, two swords instantly appeared in his hands.

Shooting past both of his opponent's Mirai gutted Dowto's body, his guts spiralling out onto the floor.

"So your the prince?, tell me who's stronger you or your father?" Mirai appeared behind prince Rast, his blade against the prince's throat.

"Allow me to answer that for you" a Rinock appeared, wearing two gauntlets made of meteorite.

His skin beige, while his eyes a soulless grey.

Although his gauntlets made him seem like a warrior, this Rinock suffers from the disease known as energy burnout.

A disease which burns through the body's energy to stop itself from overloading, as those who have this disease no longer use their energy.

Mirai kicked the prince down to his knees.

And suddenly he appeared behind the king who had just lost his life.

Royal blue energy trailing behind Mirai, he sliced the king's head off in one blow.

"So I guess that clears that up, you're both weak" Mirai released his technique as well as his swords.

"We need someone to lead this city for us, so prince what do you say you work for the Red empire and save this city".

"Of course if you don't we'll just find someone who will" Mirai began to look over to his newly arrived allies.

"I will do it..., as long as no harm comes to anyone else, I will lead my city in the name of your empire" Rast Jr rose up to face the Zeon who is known as the sword.

"Well your answer wasn't unexpected, so I'll allow them to discuss the empire's terms" and with that Mirai left Comet city in the hands of his allies.
