Terror Infinity - Side B
Chapter 20, HxH Greed Island
Razor’s face was full of glee as he witnessed the many battles taking place throughout the forest. Through the eyes of his Ninju, the Fourteen Devils, Razor he was able witness to Team Japan's struggles. Misaki, Kampa, Connor, Shuai, Jin, and most of all their leader Shin. He saw their exciting and action packed battles and could no longer keep his normally dormant battle spirit from rising to the surface.
Razor: "Hahaha! These challengers are amusing. They don't have a dominating strength, yet they have a willpower to live and struggle no matter how great the threat... yeah, this is enough of the pregame. Now for the main event!"
Razor had lost more than half of the Fourteen Devils along with a lot of Aura, yet he could only grin happily as he snapped his fingers to recall his remaining Ninju to gain back what little Aura he could. With the exception of Devil 0 that has almost no Aura expenditures, all across the forest the remaining Fourteen Devils lost their human form, reverted back to Aura, and flew back towards Razor. Surrounded in storm of his own Aura Razor felt much better and more powerful than he had before.
Razor: Ninju Devil's 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 9, 11, and 13 were defeated over course of the battle. That's 63 parts of Aura and I only recovered 12 from their remains. Devil's 6, 10, and 12 were recovered safely for the full 28 parts. I kept 8 parts, so I have now 48 out of 100 parts of my original Aura. 48%... not bad. A little under half, but that's enough to have some fun."
Saying so Razor began to move and walked right out of his team's circle to go on the attack. Razor was the Guardian and which meant that he was in charge of protecting the flag and more importantly the red flag that would could spell his defeat if it leaves the circle for any reason. Razor also could not return back inside the circle for any reason. Razor knew it was a risk to leave his flag unattended and that his remaining Devil 0 held no power what's so ever... but long as he made sure no one could approach his flag then...
Razor: "It'll all work out one way or another. Now..."
- *BANG*!
Once the sniper felt Razor was far enough away from the pole and red flag he attacked. From the from the muzzle of the Eaglet Sci-fi riffle and from a distance of 4,200 meters away, deep within the dark forest a single bullet was fired. The Trion bullet shot by Connor traveled the distance in an instant to strike the enemy pole with the hopes of blasting it outside the circle.
Razor: "Scary, scary. He hid himself perfectly. Too bad he released killing intent just to shoot down a pole!"
Razor said all this leisurely as he vanished from where he was standing and reappeared, outside the circle and between the pole and sniper shot was coming from. With one hand coated in powerful Aura, Razor as if hitting a fly swatted down the Trion bullet soaring across the dark forest.
Connor: (How did he-)
Connor, seeing all of this from afar was left even more speechless than he normally is. Razor's action was well outside his years of experience as a soldier fighting in the Middle East. From there, Connor could only watch as Razor conjured an extremely bright ball of emission Aura and threw it at him despite the distance between them, yet it did not matter. His attack could reach. Unable to escape in time the Nen Ball soared with a velocity surpassing that of a bullet and crossing the distance between them and hit Connor head on. Luckily for Connor he was in a Trion Body form, yet the Nen Ball tore apart and destroyed that body, so Connor was forced into a Bail Out, landing well outside the forest unable to move due to the side effects of the Trion Body Being destroyed.
Devil 0: "Challenger team's Connor has left the forest and is out! He is unable to continue!"
Razor let out a sigh of relief hearing that. Connor, the enemy team's sniper was the biggest threat of all. He had so perfectly hidden himself that Razor was forced to bait him out to discover his location. If not, when Razor left to face Shin and his comrades, Connor could at his luxury blow away his red flag outside the circle.
Razor: "The boy is both too inexperienced in super power battles of Nen and is young. He couldn't grasp that my strength and speed was enough to reach and repel his attack. Also, the boy should have had more patience before he took his shot. This is what determined the failure of his team's first chance at victory... Anyways, I should hurry. Seeing my strength it looks like the enemey leader ordered the retreat of the weaker combatants."
Razor look unconcerned at such a development and briskly ran forward through the dark forest. With each new step Razor's speed increased dramatically and had soon become a blur as he swiftly traversed the forest. The forest was extremely vast and wide, and Aqua and her team's flag were on the other side, but with his Aura strengthened legs he would reach her in the next sixty seconds.
No one stood in his way to his disappointment, but as if jinxing himself the light of death bared down at him. Traveling through, no Bulldozing through the formerly dark forest was the bright pink light of a beam attack. Trees, rocks, unfortunate animals nearby, and the very earth the beam traveled down... everything was vaporized on its path towards Razor.
Unicorn Beam Magnum.
A highly customized beam rifle designed with an energy condenser. The power of four regular yet already deadly beam attacks were released from the large and lethal Sci-fi weapon from the Gundam universe in Kampa's hands. Each shot of the Unicorn Beam Magnum cost an expensive E-cap battery, a total of five within its Magazine. Two were used for practice in the Terminal Lobby already, but Kampa couldn't hesitate to not use it here. Kampa himself had felt the threat of Razor, but it was Shin who ordered him to finally use the weapon that had been uselessly straddled to his back all this time.
Razor down to his core felt the threat of the deathly light approaching him and became serious for the first time in a long time. Razor focused a quarter of his maximum Aura into a single emission Nen Ball that had the weight of one hundred bowling balls and hurled it dead center into at the approaching beam. Razor already had less than half of his total Aura, so this decision would disadvantage him later, but he had no time to hesitate when he might not even have a later in the next second.
Razor: "Devil's 25 - Super Heavy Ball Number 1!"
- *EXPLOSION*!!!!!
The super beam attack and Ultimate Nen Emission attack collided with one another and lit up the dark forest in a blinding white radiance which was followed immediately by a terrible explosion that ripped apart the very earth. Razor stood his ground against the burning hot winds, deluged earth, and trees flying through the air ripped out of their roots, but the same couldn't be said about Kampa. The blast had almost instantly knocked him out and he flew backwards helplessly. Kampa was still alive, but had suffered terrible burns that would need days to heal even if he used a Healing Potion.
Devil 0: "Challenger Kampa is out. He is unable to continue!"
Razor, impressed and satisfied, watched as Kampa was ejected outside the forest back to the pirate lighthouse base for medical treatment. He honestly didn't think that much of Kampa, yet for him to send a chill down his spine that hadn't been felt since his battle with Ging excited him to no end. Razor now had less than a quarter of his total Aura left, yet he had no regrets after such an exchange of power. Razor wanted more, to feel more alive... so he turned his head to the right for his next challenge.
Razor: "I can't get enough of these high thriller battles... can you entertain me for a bit like your friend?"
Shin: "Wasn't that grand display of power enough? Either of your attacks could easily sink a naval ship in one attack. Let's fight on a smaller scale shall we!?"
Smoke from the slowly burning forest destroyed normal visual sight, yet the two using special energies, Aura and Ki Energy in focused around their eyes could see one another. Razor had less than a quarter of his Aura. Shin was battered and the effects of Hikari's Magic Spells wearing off. Both were far from their best conditions, yet neither thought of running away from this battle.
Razor: "So you're the only one, huh? The scary redhead woman is still standing by your side's pole and blue flag. You ordered the rest to retreat back to the border of the forest?"
Shin: "Of course. Like I'll allow them to face a monster like you head on. Besides, I alone am good enough to take you on and bring victory to my side!"
Razor: "Hmm... that so? Confidence is good, but do you know what I hate?"
Shin: "..."
Razor: "It's cowardice. It isn't you, but those people who were staying on the sidelines this whole time. I think someone over there was activity using something like 'En' to scan the forest, yet the rest... isn't it better to be rid of them?"
Shin: "!!!"
Shin could only open his eyes wide and unable to move as Razor swiftly conjured a Nen Ball and threw it towards an unknown and far off target. Not to Shin ready for any attack coming his way in Unlocked Mode, but off into the far distance... it took Shin a moment to realize what was going on and when he did... he was horrified.
☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆
Hikari was still within the border of the forest alongside Kisara, Renji, and the five Newbie men. So far no enemies have come close to them, yet Hikari, Kisara, and Renji didn't let their guards down. Especially after Shin gave a retreat order to the main combatants after Razor made his appearance. That was why despite wearing herself down with constant activation of her Persona Adrasteia and Magic Spell usage on everyone on the team, Hikari kept scan the forest for all dangers... so she was the first to become aware of the approaching danger towards them
Hikari: "Hit the deck!"
Hikari, not waiting to see if her warning was heard, ducked down to the ground. Kisara and Renji, having experienced dangers alongside Team Japan the last two months and now sensitive to the Nen of others, followed after Hikari and ducked down. The five Newbie men heard the warning as well, yet were not able to act under pressure like the others... couldn't react to the lethal Nen Ball approaching.
- *SPLAT*!
Of the five Newbie men, one was hit in the stomach by the Nen Ball thrown by Razor and exploded into a fine red mist of blood and internal organs. Hikari, Kisara, and even a man like Renji were left sick and speechless at the sight and the four remaining Newbies weren't faring better, but what truly terrified them was a voice. The rigid and dignified voice of God was heard and left a terrifying message.
- POINT CASUALTIES: ONE MEMBER OF TEAM JAPAN DIED. TEAM JAPAN -1 TEAM POINT AND TEAM GERMANY 0 TEAM POINT.
TEAM JAPAN TEAM POINTS: -1.
TEAM GERMANY TEAM POINTS: 0.
TOTALS WILL BE MULTIPLIED BY 2000 BY THE END OF A TEAM'S MISSION AND DISTRIBUTED TO EACH LIVING MEMBER. MEMBERS OF BOTH TEAMS WITH NEGATIVE POINTS AT THE END WILL BE ERASED.
Hikari: "Wh,wh,wh, what?!"
Hikari and every official member of Team Japan felt terror at this message. No one could have predicted this. They were all under the assumption that the Team Battle penalty would only apply when Team Japan and Team Germany fought and killed one another, yet as it turned out any death whatsoever on a Team Battle mission meant a deduction of points.
Team Germany hadn't arrived yet, but Team Japan was at Negative 1 Team Point which was equal to Negative 2,000 points when the mission ends... yet the horrors were not yet over. Hikari, Kisara, and Renji were in a daze as yet another Nen Ball came hurdling towards them. They were still ducking down and the Newbies were still standing, so the result was obvious and worse than they could imagine. At the Nen Ball eviscerated one Newbie man into a blood mist, the ball of concentrated Aura curved and took out the remaining three Newbies into blood mist as well.
- POINT CASUALTIES: FOUR MEMBER OF TEAM JAPAN DIED. TEAM JAPAN -4 TEAM POINTS AND TEAM GERMANY 0 TEAM POINT.
TEAM JAPAN TEAM POINTS: -5.
TEAM GERMANY TEAM POINTS: 0.
TOTALS WILL BE MULTIPLIED BY 2000 BY THE END OF A TEAM'S MISSION AND DISTRIBUTED TO EACH LIVING MEMBER. MEMBERS OF BOTH TEAMS WITH NEGATIVE POINTS AT THE END WILL BE ERASED.
Hikari: "Na-negative five!"
Renji: "Negative 5 Team Battle Points... Isn't that Negative 10,000 points at the end of the mission?!"
Hikari: "...We have to get out of here! Don't mind running away. Everyone get of the forest. This is an order!"
Hikari after saying so contacted the others. As no more Nen Balls were flying anywhere it meant Shin was busy fighting Razor. Hikari couldn't contact him, but Aqua, Misaki, Shuai, and Jin who had yet to be defeated answered her call. Everyone talked over the Communicator Phone's open line and all agreed to leave the forest... well, almost everyone was allowed to leave the forest and Capture the Flag game.
☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆
Devil 0: "Challengers Hikari, Misaki, Shuai, and Renji have left the forest and are out! Unable to continue!"
Shin heard the announcement from Devil 0 and wondered why hasn't everyone escaped yet, but he wasn't allowed to think too deeply over it. Shin had just wanted to run away with everyone at this time having that Team Japan were at Negative 10,000 Points, but he wasn't allowed to. For the sake of the team so that they knew that they hadn't come here for nothing, he and Razor were locked in a battle to the death to bring them victory... and yet Shin was on the losing side. Shin was facing off against a weakened Razor with not even a quarter of his strength left, yet he was still by far stronger warrior. His Aura as low as it was, was greater than his own Advance Ki Energy. Shin kept attacking Razor with sword, fist, Ki emission attacks, and Kagune, yet each and every attack to take away Razor's life was effortlessly avoided by him.
Razor has so far been restricted his attacks to just using his physical body, yet Shin was pushed to the edge. His Nen enhanced fist could turn rocks into atomic dust and his Nen reinforced legs were like swords that could cut through steel. Razor's power, speed, and combat judgement were at least two or three tiers higher than the monster Devil 21. Shin had almost immediately been forced into the Second Stage of the Genetic Constraint and barely, just barely, was he holding on for dear life. So far he had avoided a fatal strike by focusing solely on defense, and with the protection of his magic armor and defense skill the few close calls had just remained a few close calls.
Razor: "Hmm... you can't keep up with me, but you have an interesting variety of skills you wouldn't expect on a Nen User. Are you a Specialist?"
Shin: "Who knows? Maybe I'll tell you when I'm standing over you after I win!"
Razor: "That so? I really don't see that-"
Razor stopped mid-sentence and turned his head around and after a moment used 'Gyo' to enhance his vision. Shin didn't know what Razor was up to by looking away in the middle of a battle, but this was a chance. The Aura around Razor's body had decreased as he was focusing it around his eyes. Razor was monstrously strong, but Shin was confident that in the Second Stage of Unlocked Mode and with his strongest attack, he could take Razor out with his current subpar defensive Aura. Shin was about to do just that, but Razor's words stopped him.
Razor: "I see. I wasn't expecting for our battle to be a diversion."
Shin: "...What?"
Razor: "To occupy my attention with your strongest fighter and send someone under the cover of the smoke of the burning forest to reach the enemy flag, I didn't see that. It was a good plan, but her 'Zetsu' isn't quite there yet. It would have been better if she had used the higher form 'In', though I doubt she's that capable of it if her 'Zetsu' is only at that level.."
As Razor was casually saying all of this Shin was left half with questions and half answers. Shin could imagine that the remaining players in the game besides himself; Aqua, Jin, and Kisara were planning something to take the enemy's red flag, yet he the leader didn't know the details of this plan. Much less that they had made him a tool to distract Razor. This made him both proud that his team could act without him and sad that he was left out... yet such thoughts didn't matter now. What did though was that without being told it was his job to slow down Razor so someone could reach the enemy flag. Razor had discovered this plan he was not let in of, yet he still had to stop Razor from going after them.

Shin: "Razor! Your opponent is me. Until you defeat me I won't allow you to leave or attack my comrades!"
Razor: "...That so? Then let's end this."
Razor, as soon as he said those words, disappeared from Shin's sight. With godly footwork having not been used so far in their battle Razor moved to take a position behind Shin. A Lethal Nen Ball had already appeared within his hands and without hesitation he threw the ball at Shin's exposed back. Shin only felt immediate danger from behind him not knowing what it was. Shin was clues and helpless to get out of the way, so the only thing he could do was prepare himself. In the Second Stage where he gained absolute control of the body he strengthened the muscles on the back past their limits. Then after coating the outer layer in Silver Dragon Scales he channeled one-third of his Ki Energy into the Lesser Fenrir Coat for maximum defense.
Then the Nen Ball of Razor's hit Shin's back and-
- *CRASH*!!!
...he was blown away. Unlike the five Newbies Shin did not disintigrate into fine red blood mist thanks to his three layers of protection, yet he was all the same blown away. Sent flying at 300 MPH Shin crashed into a sturdy tree and broke it into two before falling back down to the earth.
It was only for one attack, but seeing Shin survive after become somewhat serious impressed Razor. So much so that he immersed himself in that feeling as he turned around to start his pursuit of the enemy aiming for his flag... completely forgetting that Devil 0 had not confirmed Shin's defeat, or how Shin miraculous brought himself back up and used instant Movement to reach his side. Razor only noticed at the very last second... that Team Japan's leader still in the Second Stage of Unlocked Mode brought forth a storm to bring him down.
From the navel where Ki Energy dwells, the normally green energy was suddenly dyed a beautiful and radiant light blue, swelled up and entered into every part of Shin's body, turning the individual into a catalyst of pure destructive power. A higher tier of energy then escaped into the air, and all too quickly concentrated around his left arm as a torrent of power. Razor brought up a defensive technique, a shield of Aura with the number 20 painted on it at this critical moment, yet it was obvious to all that Shin held the far greater power at this moment. The blue torrent of destruction then concentration further around his left fist and he struck Razor's shield head on.
Shin: "Spirit Wave!!!"
Razor: "Devil's 20 Guard!!"
- *CONTINUOUS EXPLOSION*!!!
The torrent of ruthless Ki Energy and energy shield of Aura met and an explosion like no other occurred in a blinding light. Not the level of destruction as when the Beam Magnum and Razor's Devil's 20 Ball met head on, but a true clash of special powers that shook the battlefield and caused every living creature within that forest to feel overwhelmed by an invisible pressure. When the light of Shin and Razor's special moves final died down after ten seconds... in a patch of forest burned and removed of all grass, rocks, trees, where a small crater was formed of their clash... only Razor stood standing. Razor rubbing his sides looked down at Shin who was now unconscious and being ejected outside the forest with immense respect.
Razor's defensive technique saved his life, yet the ribs on one side were broken and would hinder his movements. Additionally, he now had very little Aura remaining after using a lot of his Aura for that defensive technique. Razor had no intention of letting Shin and his team win just because they impressed him time and time again as he would to protect his flag, yet he couldn't help but think he could really lose this match thanks to expending so much strength... and that excited him even more as he looked up in the direction Shin was Ejected from.
Razor: "It's a shame that in the end you didn't have enough power to finish me off. If not for the battle with Devil 21 and being forced to use the defensive move to protect yourself... I wouldn't escape with just a few broke ribs. If your side happens to win then it'll be because of you. Hahaha! These challengers really are the best! It'll be a boring ending if I took this chance to just go after their flag now!"
Razor finished paying his respects to a worthy foe turned around and ran back to his flag to protect it from Team Japan's last attack.
☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆
Kisara: "Ha... Ha... Ha... Almost there!"
Through the dark and smoke filled forest under the full moon was a lone girl. That girl, Kisara was currently sprinting as fast as her body could take her on her journey towards her target... the enemy Razor and the Fourteen Devil's red flag!
It was far too dangerous of a mission for a trial member of Team Japan without enhancements to attempt, and alone at that, but it was the mission that she agreed to. Right after the five Newbie men were brutally killed by Razor's Nen Ball, receiving Negative 5 Team Points (-10,000), and Shin beginning his downhill battle against Razor, Jin had contacted Kisara and everyone else. Everyone understood that they couldn't allow anyone to remain in the forest who couldn't face Razor, yet Jin had other plans.
Jin proposed that from Team Japan that only just Hikari, Misaki, Shuai, and Renji to escape, and for Kisara, Aqua, and himself to stay. Hikari thought Jin was insane to stay after getting penalized Negative 10,000 points, yet he said that it had to be done. They were injured and tired. It would be unreasonable for them to come back and get 'Patch of Shore' another day even if Razor might relocate and Team Germany's arrival in the horizon. That why they needed to gain the Card at all cost.
Jin knew from their two months together collecting Monster Cards and tracking Bomber that Kisara was incredibly fit and fast, but more importantly then that she was most skill in the Nen application of 'Zetsu'. Even Aqua who has been using Nen for much longer and had a higher level of it than Kisara, yet she admitted Kisara was oddly enough superior to her in the art of Zetsu. That was why Jin wanted Kisara to use Zetsu and the cover of the smoke of the burning forest to reach Razor's red flag and take it out of their circle for Team Japan's victory.
Jin was confident, or pretended to be confident about Kisara being the best choice, yet his plan did not end there. While he himself would also make his way to the enemy red flag under the cover of Illusion Shroud, he would also make use of Aqua. Jin couldn't be confident that Shin would win against Razor, even if Aqua left their Blue Flag undefended to support him, so he wanted Aqua to support Kisara. Specifically, once Shin was defeated (avoiding saying killed) Jin wanted Aqua to support Kisara if Razor moved having noticed Kisara. Not committing to defeat Razor, but doing everything she could to slow him down.
Everyone of Team Japan were all hesitant about this dangerous plan without consulting Shin who's locked in battle against Razor... yet not wanting this battle to end a complete loss they agreed to Jin's plan for victory. That was why after being entrusted with the hopes of Team Japan to bring them victory, Kisara as if her life depended on it... which it would very soon.
It was as Kisara was less than a quarter of the way to the enemy Red Flag an explosion of life energy struck and knocked her off her feet and made her fall hard on the cold forest ground. Not as intense as when Kampa's Unicorn Beam Magnum and Razor's Devil 25 Nen Ball collided, yet the force of two extreme types of life energy clashing, even from a distance effect all those alive within the forest. The right side of Kisara's head was bleeding from the fall, yet she picked herself up and renewed her sprint towards her goal... when she then heard the voice of Devil 0 relaying bad new to all of Team Japan.
Devil 0: "Challenger Shin is out! He is unable to continue!"
Kisara felt her heart sink hearing this tragic news.
To Kisara and other trial member Renji, the leader of Team Japan, Shin, was like an absolute and powerful existence. Shin had led them as they hunted down monsters, protected them more than once from hostile Nen Users of Greed Island with amazing abilities, and even gave them power in the form of Nen. Additionally... since that first day of Greed Island she had found her eyes wander towards Shin. Kisara didn't know if she liked Shin as she had no experience with men, yet all the same she worried for him and that dulled her movement and saved her life. Kisara had slightly slowed down and looked towards the direction where the last sounds of Shin and Razor's battle was heard, and saw it.
A glowing blue ball of Aura hurdling through the air and towards Kisara's head. The Nen Ball that Kisara was sure would rip off her head oddly missed her and zoomed past her due to Razor not expecting her sudden drop in speed and see the attack coming. Kisara, feeling that her life was spared, was woken up from all her worries. All thoughts ceased and her senses were sharpened to the limit as she fell back onto her Hiten Mitsurugi-ryu training.
Kisara renewed her sprint towards the enemy flag while taking in all her surroundings. Hiten Mitsurugi-ryu was known for its God like speed, but the core techniques of the sword style needed more than just speed. What was required was a sharp mind to taken in a opponents everything and one's surroundings.
The movements of the arms, legs, head, friction of the clothes, eye moments, outer and inner emotions of the opponent, and even the very air itself were all taken in by Hiten Mitsurugi-ryu practitioners. Additional, staying in a state of Zetsu like Kisara was left one especially defensiveness to special attacks, yet increase their sensitive to life energies like Aura far more than they normally could.
This all allowed Kisara to avoid one Nen Ball that would have torn her head off and another Nen Ball that would have hit her torso and splatter her into a fine red blood mist like her fellow five Newbies. Before the attacks arrived she was already making preparations to avoid the lethal attacks thrown by Razor... but she was reaching her limits.
Kisara, despite being a master of Hiten Mitsurugi-ryu, had very little combat experience against such ferocious and fast attacks like Razor and above all else she herself was a normal human girl. She was still under the effects of the Nano Machine Accelerator and was given renewed Magic Spell Buffs by Hikari before she separated, yet ultimately they were shallow abilities when compared to Whole Enhancements and Genetic Mutations from the exchanges.
Kisara also had yet to unlock her constraint as well, so it took her all to avoid those last two attacks and although the enemy flag was not too far off she was exhausted mentally. Relying only on her inborn abilities had pushed Kisara to the edge and was seeing only blurs now. She knew that she didn't have what it took to avoid another Nen Ball... yet it still came anyways. A Nen Ball faster than the last was on a collision course for Kisara and despite knowing danger was approaching and that there was nothing she could do... Kisara believing in her Hiten Mitsurugi-ryu and recalling her motivations to continue to swing the sword, one that she had yet to tell her comrades pushed her past her limits.
- MENTAL REALM LIMIT BROKEN!
REWARDED 500 POINTS. MENTAL CAPACITY INCREASED BY 20 POINTS, INTELLIGENCE INCREASED BY 10, REACTION SPEED INCREASED BY 30 POINTS!
It was a small reprieve to avoid death, yet the permanent increase in Reaction Speed restored her vision and allowed to just barely avoid the Nen Ball about to tear off her lower body by rolling forward. Kisara's life was spared and that forward roll had taken her into the enemy's circle where the pole and Red Flag was planted, yet she knew that it was the end. Kisara saw Razor smiling to the side outside the circle with another Nen Ball ready. He looked exhausted from all his battles so far, yet he had it left in him to attack one last time.
At this close a range between herself and Razor, Kisara knew she couldn't avoid Razor's Nen Ball with even three times greater speed and reaction time, so she could only hope for a miracle she had no idea would come and with all her remaining Aura channeled under her feet she jumped with all her strength. If she was hit by the Nen Ball in midair as she was she would be killed, but if not than she would grasp the enemy Red Flag and her momentum would shoot her out of the circle and give victory to Team Japan.
Razor saw through and admired the beauty of Kisara's sacrificial dive, giving her very life in an attempt to bring victory to her comrades, but he had no intention of letting the battle end like this. Razor grasped the Nen Ball tightly and went into a throwing motion, yet at the last minute he jumped high into the air. Razor looked down to see the red hair of the enemy Nen User Aqua passing by with claw extended from her knuckles and his right leg detached from his body floating through the air leaving a trail of blood.
Examining the entire situation within an instant Razor saw that he was in checkmate. He still had his Nen Ball ready to be thrown, yet that was the last of his Aura. Even if he used it to take either Aqua or Kisara the other would be able to reach his Red Flag and bring it outside of the circle. No matter who he choose only a loss waited for him... yet he was not deterred.
Not one to leave battles half unfinished with a "Good job. You got me beat", Razor continued his throw to take out Kisara. Aqua had all of her strength having not participated in the battles till now. She was also a powerful Player, if not more so than Shin, so if she gave her all to defense Razor doubt that he could take her out with just a Nen Ball. That was why he aimed for Kisara the only one he could defeat. Aiming right at Kisara who had just grasped the Red Flag as she flew through the air, Razor let go of the Nen Ball to unleash a devastating spike to claim her life and-
Jin: "...Frostbolt!"
Hidden under the cover of his magic spell, Illusion Shroud, Jin reemerged a distance away with an extended hand glowing a pale blue light. Jin had ran to the enemy flag as well in case Kisara failed under the protection of his spell, but concerned with not being detected his speed was reduced greatly and as a result the last to arrive to the scene. Jin saw the critical moment of his team's victory and defeat he raised his right hand and fired his offensive magic spell Frostbolt.
The beam of ice reached Razor as he was about to swing down and froze his throwing arm solid. Razor was completely caught off guard, yet with incredible physical strength he broke the ice coating and spiked the Nen Ball down towards Kisara, but by then the battle was over. The Nen Ball blew way his own pole and left a large crater in its wake, yet both the Red Flag and Kisara were well outside the circle determining victory or defeat... and it was Razor and the Fourteen Devils who were defeated.
Outside the circle Kisara as if for dear life still had the Red Flag clasped in her hands covered in an ice cold sweat. Kisara was so frightened that she wasn't even sure if it was okay for her to breathe, but the message that resounded in her head and her head alone shocked her back into life. It was the rigid and dignified voice of God confirming the rewards of a Hidden Side Quest

Mental Realm was unlooked for Kisara because she pushed her concentration to the limit as a normal person. Kisara already possessed physically fitness above average, so she wouldn't unlock Physical Realm.
Also remember this when you criticize Shin's and others decisions. You are not there and there's no magic plot armor that allows anyone to know what could happen and what will happen. This is different from stories where the main character is super OP and can guess exactly what will happen and never makes mistakes that can't be taken back. As stated early on in the series this is Team Japan's journey through God's Dimension and not a redo of Team China FF. Feel free to criticize, but don't condemn or drop Side B just because a main character actually makes mistakes or oversights.
