[ Clank !]

When the big and muscular guy unsheathes his pair of Kukiris, I quickly step back so that the first to confront him was Cockroach-kun. I had no intention of directly fighting that man! That pair of long knives seemed quite sharp and scary, especially when they were held by someone of Master level!!

On the other hand, I had confidence in my backing. The last time I had to fight him, just by using a stick, it was someone quite troublesome to deal with! So now that he had a sword in his hand, the aura around him seemed to have grown a little bigger.

…For now I would be his support and I would look for an opportunity to attack the big guy.

Or so I thought, but watching two Masters fight was still pretty impressive. The sword and the pair of Kukiris collided repeatedly and at high speed! And the sparks that this caused brightened this dark place more!

[ Clank !] [ Clank !] [ Clank !]

I don't know if it was because both men had Yami's ideology or were confident not to kill their opponent so easily, but each attack from both of them was not something to play with... an oversight, and someone could end up losing a limb at best the cases!

So it was difficult to intervene in the fight between the two of them at the moment… an intervention without thinking may end up hurting my ally! I could only wait and see for a suitable instant to attack the other man.

Meanwhile, as I thought, the other boys didn't have much trouble taking advantage of their opponent. They were like bees fighting an enemy bigger and stronger than themselves. You couldn't really underestimate the strength of the numbers in a fight...

“I remember you… weren't you also part of Yami's armed group? Why are we fighting each other now? "

"...I left the organization, now I am with him."

“Well, never mind… at this point I was quite upset! First, my foolish disciple loses the tournament and the prize, and then they order me to go down to this stinking place! I will play with you to get rid of my anger for all this!! "

"..."

After both of them have probably tested each other's skills, they take a little break to talk for a bit. Even though they had no serious injuries on their bodies, they both still had quite a few shallow cuts from which their blood was oozing.

Well, Kushinada had told me what Yami was like inside, so I didn't expect this man to suddenly show a bit of camaraderie and stop fighting.

But, it really seemed like he had had a pretty bad day too… and you could easily see that he was one of those men who try to vent their frustrations on other people!

[ Clank !] [ Clank !]

"...haa~ Seems like I will have to use my new technique"

… I wanted to end this quickly, the fight between these two and the other boys was being too loud, especially the last one. Screams of them and the man who found the whole group annoying by attacking him constantly with their number resounded throughout the tunnel!

If reinforcements go down because of this, things would only get complicated. I have no alternative to using that technique that I had just learned from a scroll that I bought in the system... it was one of the trump cards that I planned to use in tomorrow's fight against the old man! Although I would very possibly end up losing, I still wanted to give him some surprises during our fight!

This time I get closer to both of them... the man of the Kukiris for a second casts his eyes on me, but considering me a lesser threat than the person he was fighting, he returns to concentrating on clashing his swords with him.

This was what I expected... I didn't need to be near him to use that technique! When they both separate a few meters after clashing their weapons, I stand between the two, bring my hands close to my faces with outstretched fingers, and then concentrate on circulating my energy according to the method I learned on the scroll!

"[ Taiyoken ] !!"

In the next instant, the whole place lights up in a flash. Similar to the flash of a camera flash, but more intense! Or so it should be, but probably because I'm not fully expert in the technique since I've barely been getting used to it, it only lasts for a second and it wasn't that intense.

Thanks to my soul being level 2 now, my elemental affinities, which was supposedly for all elements, were unlocked! Something pretty good I must say. So after thinking that I had to fight the old man tomorrow, I had planned to use all my advantages in that fight!

That is why one of the first things that I thought about was how to take advantage of the fact that my elemental affinities were unblocked, and also that I had a greater amount of energy than other people. My first thought was to get something like Kame hame ha… sadly, the scroll of that skill was quite expensive and I had to have my [ Ki Control ] skill at Master level at least! I could only sigh when I realized that.

...also, surely performing a Kame hame ha with my current energy level would leave me completely dry in a single use... and that is being positive. According to Aurora, my current energy was only enough to create something like “fireball” magic a few times without the use of an object to help me.

Stolen from its rightful place, this narrative is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings.

I don't think something like that would be useful against the old man...

So after searching the system for a while, I came across the name of that technique and remembered that it could be quite useful at times! What more important, I just needed to have my ability [Control Ki] above the rank C and have an affinity to the element light or lightning! Nor did I need to have a mastery of that element... just following the way of using the energy indicated on the scroll was enough!

To put it simply, [ Taiyoken ] was an easy, simple, and weak technique to use, but quite effective.

If there was a problem, it was that I had to spend a large amount of my resources buying this skill... almost all of my savings I had are gone now!

"N-Nuuh ?"

...although it cannot be said that I uses the technique perfectly yet, the good thing is that we were in a place without much light and everyone's vision had become quite used to this, so it was enough to blind that man.

Also, the good thing that the flash was one-way, I didn't like the idea of having to close your eyes in front of an enemy that you considered dangerous. So when I tried it before, I was glad it didn't affect me despite keeping my eyes open.

" Hyaaa~! M-My eyes! My eyes!! "

"D-Damn it!! W-What happened? What was that annoying flash?!! "

...well, the bad thing is that this technique did not distinguish between friends or enemies. Just like the person in front of me who didn't seem to be able to see now, the others who were fighting a few meters from us were also affected.

Luckily for them, the guy they were fighting was in no better state than they were. In fact, having received several blows from those boys, and having to chase one after another, he looked quite tired. Now with affected eyes, he knew that their situation was pretty bad and instead of trying to attack them again, he would back away from where he heard the screams of complaints.

On my side, it only took a second to review the situation around me to check that everything was fine. Now that Cockroach-kun took several steps back as he was also blinded, I threw myself at our opponent while taking my two swords from my storage...

"K-Kuaa!! F-Fuck!! "

"..."

I had some concern that he might still notice me somehow, but the surprise of losing his vision must have been quite a bit for this man as he only notices me when my two swords pierce his legs.

Use swords were silly now because my ability to fight hand to hand was higher, but my goal was only to deal enough damage to him and I didn't mean to fight with them, so after drilling them in until the tip comes out in the other side, I quickly retreat.

" I-I'll kill you, you fucking rat!

Where are you? Come on, let me kill you!! "

...without his vision and also now with two swords stuck in his legs, that man had completely lost his sanity. He brandished his Kukires at any place where he heard a sound.

Even so, he was still a master and his weapons hadn't lost their edge. I stay away from him a bit, and I move as stealthily as I can to try to get behind him and get this over with.

[Stealth rank up]

So as if my efforts were rewarded, I feel like I can hide my presence much better than before, and right away the system notification rings in my ears. It was almost like a bell that indicated the precise moment to attack!

" Kuaaah!!!"

[ Clank ]!

When I am at his back, I charge against him again and this time I use my ability [ Futae not Kawami ]! He also seemed to be waiting for my next attack as he quickly turned around and had every intention of splitting me in two!

Of course, I wasn't stupid enough to lash out at him without any protection. After my technique landed on his body, I quickly used a shield-type BIM which his swords collided with!

"G-Gueeh !"

Then, while his knives are blocked, I attack him repeatedly until finally the accumulated damage in his body is too much causing him to vomit a good amount of blood and fall to his knees, and then collapse unconscious.

[ Beep ]

[ Level up + 2]

...it seems that now that I had a level 2 soul it has become a bit more difficult to level... I have fought against two opponents who were stronger than me by some limits, and so far I only managed to increase 2 levels! Also, one was someone with a Master level ability!!

[Well… depending on how you look at it could also be considered that you keep leveling up quickly. Just yesterday you were level 99 and now you are 102]

Haaa~ Well, that also is true.

"... can you see?"

"Yes"

“So how about you help those guys defeat that man? Just don't kill him... "

" Fine"

In the end, I finished up fighting and defeating this man on my own... so it was good that my follower also contribute something. Without further words, he goes directly to where the boys and their enemy were. Not long after, they were now two men passed out on the ground.

"G-Gheeh!

A-Alexander- senpai... y-you went back to overdoing things!! "

"...Don't worry, it just looks worse than it is"

"No! No matter how you look at it, having two swords stuck in your legs is a pretty bad thing!! "

"" ... ""

With the other man was defeated, the others approach me and then observe my opponent… who was in a pool of blood that was growing thanks to his injuries. I tried to smooth things out, but it didn't work.

Well, what were you waiting for? It was better that the enemy was who had swords stuck in the body than me! The guy was trying to cut me to pieces, so of course I wasn't going to hold back for nonsense!!

" Hii!!"

“…Don't worry, I won't let him die. Instead of being here, why don't you go and rescue the people we came for "

"I-It's okay."

When I get my swords back, Kenichi lets out another yell and the others pull away from me a bit. Then after my words, it seems that he remembers the reason why we came and they go to open the iron door with the keys that I also took from this man.

…Although perhaps they were also just escaping from this place.

Either way, I had to treat this guy first to prevent him from dying. Taking some potions out of my dimensional space, I pour them directly into his wounds. While I was doing it in part to fulfill my promise not to kill someone, also I did it because still had some business with this man...
