The king looks at Asher with surprise; Asher's transformation piquing his curiosity.

“Before we fight, what is your name?” The king starts to power up, increasing his dark aura.

“Remember my name. The person who will defeat you. I am Asher!” Asher, not giving the king a chance to respond, goes to attack.

The king dodges the surprise attack, dodging Asher's incredible speed.

“You get to work up. My name is Kenny. Now let’s start. With an incredible display of speed, Kenny manages to cut one of Asher's arms before Asher can even realize it.

Asher’s arm regrows; seeing the palace, he notices places where he can go and sneak attack. Asher lets his guard down, only seeing how Kenny immediately arrives close to his face. Asher manages to react, covering the left side of his face, only for Kenny to land a kick directly at his ribs, shattering them.

Asher gets flown away, colliding against one of the ten pillars on the left side of the throne. Asher heals immediately; determined to continue to survive, he starts to get closer and find a weak point.

Boom!

Asher manages to dodge a flying kick by Kenny aimed directly at his head. The pillar falls by the potency of the attack. Asher’s quick reaction manages to find an opening, faking a punch that was aimed at his head to a punch with his right hand directed at Kenny's liver.

Boom!

Kenny’s body is flung by Asher's attack, landing in the front door; he stands up to continue fighting.

Asher and Kenny both launch themselves at each other.

Boom!

Asher’s and Kenny’s fists both collide, causing both of them to fly back on their feet. Asher goes for another attack, moving from side to side, trying to create an opening.

Kenny runs towards his throne, preparing for Asher's attack; he calculates where he can inflict more damage.

Kenny's gamble paid off. Asher went to attack, launching himself like a falcon. Kenny goes behind the throne; knowing how it works, he manages to propel himself from one of the posts on the left side of his throne.

Boom!

Asher didn’t expect this attack, causing him to be on the brink of losing consciousness; the attack landed directly at his chin, falling into another pillar and fracturing his spine.

Asher heals again, feeling his body getting stronger and stronger each second; his nose is getting accustomed to the smell, and his body is getting more accustomed to the strength of Kenny.

Asher gets up, predicting Kenny's attack; he grabs his legs and starts spinning him, throwing him at one of the pillars, shattering it. Asher sees Kenny’s lower defense going towards him again, grabbing him again and throwing him at another pillar.

Kenny’s head is covered in blood Asher starts to bang his head on the pillar.

Kenny senses Asher's grip loosen on his head turns around and manages to land a powerful kick, throwing Asher directly at the throne.

Asher’s body recovers, and a lesser speed recovers fast enough to protect his head from a fatal blow from Kenny.

Asher's bones are broken into pieces. His recovery continues; they start exchanging punches while Asher is standing on the throne and Kenny is seemingly floating.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The potency of their punch exchanges starts creating ripples of sounds throughout the entire light blue palace.

Asher manages to free himself by faking Kenny landing a nice jab, and sending Kenny back. Asher uses this time to leave the disadvantageous position for a better position to create something.

Asher's strength reached its limit, reaching a level of power strong enough to beat Kenny if he played his cards correctly.

Asher's body is completely healed, while Kenny’s is still suffering but still standing all mighty.

“This is so fun, right?” Kenny, exhausted, asks Asher.

“I can’t even lie; it is when you die I will remember you!” Just as Asher finished talking, he got hit with a kick directly at his calves.

Falling on his knees Asher sees an opening; Asher takes out his knife to stab Kenny's thigh.

The knife breaks, only causing a minor cut on Kenny's leg; however, due to the unexpected nature of the attack, Kenny instinctively retreats.

They both start attacking each other; the walls start to break by the potency of their attacks, and Kenny’s body starts to lose stamina. He can’t compete toe to toe with Asher for much longer.

Asher starts to change his movement; the patterns that Kenny memorized start to appear new. Asher sees this confusion and capitalizes by landing a jab and a left hook.

Kenny’s body reached its limit. As a last-ditch attempt, he starts to attack with everything he has left inside him.

Boom!

Asher falls back again onto the throne; Kenny launches himself, managing to land a barrage of attacks directly at Asher.

Asher is beaten at a velocity that his regeneration can compete with; the once quartz and golden throne is destroyed.

Asher, feeling hopeless, looks at Kenny’s barrage and, in a split second, sees a weak point; Asher kicks Kenny’s leg, causing him to lose balance. Asher grabs Kenny's throat, putting him on the ground.

Now it’s Asher's turn; he starts his barrage of attacks, each punch breaking his bones; his rapid recovery starts to fade away. Kenny manages to dodge a lot of attacks, but thirty percent hit.

Asher’s body can’t resist for much longer the toll that his body is taking. Both Kenny and Asher are on their last legs.

Kenny kicks Asher out of him; he tries to stand up, but the damage Asher inflicted was too much for him.

“Hehe, you actually managed to beat me.” Kenny, now accepting his fate, sees Asher still standing.

“I actually did. This is for all the people you murdered.” Asher's legs can’t take it anymore; he falls on his knees.

“You really did. All I can say is promise that you will sing about me.” Kenny’s now relaxing his body, sensing that his death is imminent.

“Of course, I will; I will always remember you for being such a horrible human.” Asher also falls on his back due to exhaustion.

“Also Kenny I am sorry about your parents. I know this is too late, but is that the reason you are like this?”

“How do you know?” Kenny asks in amusement. “The short answer is yes. It was the past empire that ruined everything in my life, and I had to take revenge. I completed my goals.”

“What were your goals, Kenny?”

“My goals were to beat the past empire and to rule this country. My other goal was to die in the hands of someone stronger with the same mindset as me. We both are very similar if you think about it.” Kenny responds on the brink of dying.

“Yes, we are. I promise I will do my best to never make another kid experience what you did.” Asher, on the brink of passing out, responds.

“Asher, these will be my last words, so pay attention.”

“Don’t worry; I will remember,” Asher responds with a smile.

“All I want to say is that this world is fucked up, and fuck Kendrick.” Kenny takes his final breath, finally succumbing to his injuries.

“Huh, Kenny, don’t die!! What do you mean about Kendrick?” Asher manages to stand up with the revelation, and walks to Kenny, only to see his lifeless body.

“Kenny, tell me what you mean by that!!!” Asher shakes Kenny’s lifeless body only for him to pass out from exhaustion.

“Welcome back, Asher.”
