Chapter 4 - The Outer Entities - The Hidden Truth

X: "Seems like you've fell in love with that girl?"

*Bang* - Yujin drives a strike directly on X without any mercy. 

Even though it's been blocked, Xenosis can't even maintain the mocking look as the beginning. 

Yujin: "Your face sickens me so bad."

X gently wipes the large wound on his body, instantly recovering, that smile has bloomed again.

Xenosis: "Ha ha, you deserve your death."

They both step toward each other, step by step, leisurely approaching their fateful enemy.

Even Yujin and Xenosis are both aware of the up-coming consequence for this arbitrarily action, however none of them actually worry about it; they are all maniacs.

X (smiling): "Seems like you've seen them all right?"

Yujin: "If you meant about the truth of this world, yes I have."

X (smiling): "Your face shows nothing but a dishonesty."

As soon as he finished mocking, they are closer to each other than ever; face to face, Yujin calmly puts his eyes on Xenosis - who always blooms that disgusting smile on his interface.

X: "Too close, I'm not interesting in male."

*Smack - Bang* - That fist even go beyond the light, beyond the space and time. Yujin drives a strike straight to X's chin without any hesitation as a declaration of the war.

Yujin: "Me neither."

However he immediately realizes that X hasn't moved an inch yet, seems like he didn't take any damage. That's radiant face of X does sicken Yujin, so bad.

*Smack - Bang* - Another strike has been sent to the same target, nevertheless, this time X didn't dodge anymore.

He instantly countered Yujin with the faster strike, driving straight to his chin without dodging the previous fist.

After all, there're still those two silhouettes, none of them were blown away.

X (smiling): "You're strong enough."

"However, you can not do anything with that pitiful power."

He jumps up, landing a vertical kick straight to Yujin's chin; it's fast enough to remove the limit of spacetime on itself. X is totally confident of the power of that kick, there's no reason for the creature is known as the God of gods to doubt about his strength.

Yujin: "That arrogance will send you to your death."

When the smoke and dust fade away, Yujin is still there; he even stand strong after taking that sky breaking strike.

An uppercut is delivered straight to X's face, as same as the previous kick, this strike lies beyond the space and time.

*Crack - Bang - Smack* - At this time Yujin has successfully forced X to block in purpose - which means X is no longer maintaining his superiority from now on.

It is nothing but a declaration: "You're nothing." that Yujin insulted The God of gods.

Distorted! Distorted! Distorted! That smile has been distorted to the obviously disgusting sharp.

Xenosis: "Seems like I have to take you down."

Yujin leisurely takes off his coat, those eyes shine the light of determination.

Yujin: "Anyway, that's my goal too."

They deliberately come closer to each other again; their unleashed auras even crush the space around them to pieces.

One step, two steps, three steps,..., until they are just a centimeter far from the opponent.

*Smack - Smack* - After a second, they were both sent to fly away from the starting point.

However they both moved back to their own position almost immediately - they start looking to each other again.

*Smack - Smack* - Another time they're sent to fly away, as usual, they both shifted themselves to their own positions one more time.

*Smack - Thud* - They keep repeating those ridiculous battles, no matter how many time they take damaged, they both maintained the old rule - who dodges first is who loses.

However, soon, X realizes that he can't keep it in his hand anymore. Yujin is being stronger and stronger through each time they drive their fists to each other's face.

For the next 3 strikes, X couldn't even catch up with Yujin.

X: (Sh*t.)

*Smack - Crack* - At the fourth strike, X has been defeated, he couldn't even hit Yujin at that moment, that fist was too fast.

At that stage, there's only a silhouette left, one has fell down.

Something has been awaken, something has waken up via that losing, something is really distorted and disgusting.

*Slice!* - A slice fits totally in Yujin's neck, without any signal, X instantly appears in front of him.

*Smack - Crack* - A horizontal high kick is swung straight to his head - sending Yujin fly away in the horizontal direction.

*Crack* - However Yujin immediately shifted himself back to the original place, nevertheless, he has landed a kick on X already.

It's fast enough to send him fly away without any realization or the chance to struggle; as usual, X came back instantly - facing Yujin again.

Now the true battle begins.

*Smack* - Yujin instantly took a strike at his chin; he didn't move for just a bit.

*Smack* - X got countered immediately after that; he also didn't move for a bit.

They both looked to each other again.

*Smack* - They both took a fist into their faces.

*Smack* - Another time, they didn't even want to parry.

*Smack - Crack* - Something was broken, however it doesn't matter; they both looked on the opponent again.

Yujin: "Boring."

Yujin doesn't see that thing inside X, he doesn't see the danger in X's fists.

He lands another hit on X, however, at this time, X can't no longer stand strong beneath that pressure.

Taking that advantage, Yujin jumps up, shipping back a high kick by his left leg, straight to X's chin as what he did previously. 

His right foot gently hook on that chin, one inch upper kick - another kick sent him to heaven.

Toward the sky, X flies vertically and his face "incidentally" fits in Yujin's hand.

*Slap - Crack - Bang* - He mercilessly slaps his hand into X's face, sending him to isolation.

Within a slap, Yujin has sent The God of gods to death; it was a slap, nothing but a slap.

As usual, those lights from the far away stars still shine up, coloring this picture by themselves, weaving the ocean containing the miracles among the nebula.

Yujin only observes them in a second, he knows that it isn't the end yet.

*Smack* - Parried! 

*Smack* - Instantly, Yujin counters X with a rapid high kick straight to his face; it even weaves a sparkling white line as a ladder leading to Heaven.

Universal Hop - Yujin does not know the true name of X's ability, he only bases on its power to name it reasonably.

In short, X can teleport himself to other universe with the same coordinate calculated via metaverse - the metaphysical dimension containing multiverse system.

For the extra abilities, Yujin knows nothing, however he has found out the way to counter that annoying bunny.

According to the limit: "same coordinate" - Yujin only needs to predict and land a strike before X can realize it.

Although he can base on the oscillation of spacetime to determine the up-coming location where X will be at. However there hasn't been any information of that ability at all, everything is just the speculation of Yujin; he can't make sure that if it works or not.

X: "You're annoying."

*Crack* - Famous last words; Yujin easily sent X to death again.

Yujin: (Coordinates.)

For examining it again, Yujin patiently waits at that place until X appears again. He has three more speculations to determine which type of this power, or even "authority."

One second, two seconds, three seconds have passed away, nothing happens; however Yujin still doesn't stop accumulating his power on hands, he's waiting.

Nothing changed until the 10th second, he instantly rotates to the rear - landing the strike that lies beyond the space and time.

*Crack* - Both the sound of broken bones and broken space echoed at the same time, Yujin has defeated X again with ease.

Yujin: (10 seconds.)

He carves that detail into his mind; Yujin one more time waits at that location, he has something to examine.

Basing on the movement of X, he has realized that X isn't bound by the last coordinate he existed in the last moment. The "Coordinates" should be understood as the correspondence between the location of the other cosmos and the same place in this universe via the intermediary - metaverse.

In short, he can move freely at the other universe and hop to this cosmos with the same coordinate via metaverse - this is the change and oscillation in space.

However, there's still one more thing he needs to confirm.

It's been 10 seconds right now, as what he predicted, X has exists at his rear again.

*Crack* - He bet it right, 10 second is the maximum period of time that he can exist in other universes.

However this time X only steps back two steps after parrying the strike, he's being stronger.

Yujin: (Anomaly.) 

He realizes that there's something really weird. Facing X for over 4 times already, Yujin knows that for each time, X always used his full power to fight with him. 

Yujin: "Are you really X?"

Xenosis: "Of course I am."

Yujin rushes forward with the determination in his eyes, those hands again crush the space to pieces.

*Smack - Crack* - Even though X has parried it, his left hand still got broken beneath the pressure of Ascension Force.

*Smash* - A heavy blow is driven straight to his face, Yujin takes that advantage; he brutally grabs the broken left arm of X, pulling it toward himself, opening the chance for a high kick to his chin.

Reality Manipulation - Xenosis instantly interfered into the flow of universe, coercively evading out of that "hug," he steps a step forward, lower his body for a heavy strike directly to Yujin's face.

*Smack* - That action was too fast, Yujin didn't reflex in time with it, when he realized everything, Yujin had been sent to fly away already.

Yujin: (So that's your choice.)

Yujin isn't dumb, he instantly realizes that X is adapting to him in every second. 

Yujin: (You're not X, fool.)

Reality Manipulation - Reality Rewind.

Two authorities collide each other then collapse to nothingness, they are both knocked back for three steps - unable to activate it again in a few minutes.

They both look at each other, ready for the next battle; suddenly they rushed toward the opponent, colliding in heavy strikes.

*Bang* - The pressure caused the explosion at the meeting point, but it doesn't matter at all, Yujin and Xenosis kept driving as many strikes as they can to each other.

*Clash* - Reality Authorities again collapsed to each other, sending them back to the starting point with the inner wounds.

They both approach each other again, glancing on the fateful enemy.

*Smack* - Yujin starts it first with a fast strike - parried.

X replies with another fast strike straight to his left ribs - parried. He immediately withdraws to the back, then rushing forward as a bullet.

Yujin sees it as his opportunity, he lands a fast kick straight to X's face in his trajectory.

Nevertheless, Dimensional Hop - X shifted himself to other universe - which means Yujin has missed the kick.

Within that millisecond, X ports himself back to this reality, tackling Yujin in that golden chance.

His right hand strongly touches Yujin's chest, he feels something, of course not the love, it is the hurt of getting cut.

In the circumstantiality of Yujin, his chest got cut by the invisible slashes; he immediately realizes that it's his own technique.

Somehow that X can abuse it without any limit, he keeps spamming those slices on Yujin without any mercy.

Yujin: "Disgusting."

According to that detail, Yujin has determined that X can copy and adapt to him. This variable still shows no limit currently, that's why Yujin keeps the distance right now, he can't foresee that power.

X (smiling): "Heh? Are you scared?"

He points his finger ahead, releasing an invisible slash that cut right next to Yujin's face as a provocation: "You are nothing."

Got it, Yujin steps toward X, each step forward contains his wrath, each step forward is holding his anger in itself. 

The distance is being reduced through each time that guy steps forward, until they are both a centimeter far from each other - the battles has begun.

Xenosis instantly unleashes countless slices straight to Yujin.

It's powerful enough to cut both the space and time to dust, the center of the calamity was even turned to the nothingness, X has sent everything to the end.

He laughs as this is the last time he can do it, X even smirks and guffaws as a maniac, he shows out all his madness and dismay that he's supposed to bring to the world.

*Crack* - A hand suddenly breaks the void and grabs his neck - Yujin is still alive after all.

X: "You?"

Yujin: "Weren't you overconfident with that cheap technique? Why don't you try to kill me with that pitiful duffer?"

As he wishes, X has unleashed everything, he doesn't want to hold back any more. Those invisibles can delete the spacetime, so Yujin is nothing beneath its true power.

Those red eyes reflect the frenzy of the god, X wants to kill Yujin more than ever.

One second, two seconds, three seconds have passed away, Yujin is still there without any wound or scratch, generally. 

X: (Impossible.)

His brain is working with its all 200% potential, he's finding the answer via all the scenarios.

X: "Impossible."

His eyes all reflect the fear of this monster. X has realized it, Yujin did nothing but just repeating all the corresponding slices to eliminate all the damage. 

At this over god level, X is always aware of his ability, the slice is released immediately with his thought - which means the delay does not exist.

X: "How?"

Yujin: "The delay doesn't disappears, it only evanesces in your mind."

He sent X to death again, after all, Yujin knows that the power of his opponent is hopping between the multiverse and inheritance. 

Xenosis doesn't have the authority to adapt to the opponents after dying, all is his own work, X has been accumulating all the details and mimic the technique from Yujin basing on those experiences. 

However it's only the mimic of the original one, those mistakes of newbie was shown by X is enough for Yujin to determine everything.

So now he has two options, using everything else to kill X without the special cleave, or unleashing everything and cause the calamity. 

He knows that they're both undead right now, basing on the wheel of fate, X and Yujin can do everything without causing the death of one of them. This is the planned event already, so it's confusing Yujin that if he really needs to show out all his abilities or not.

Collecting information is important, however this is the trade, he needs to bet by his weakness too.

Yujin: (Limit... there must be a limit after all.)

Ten seconds have passed, X usually tries to assault Yujin from his rear again.

*Smack* - Parried! Yujin drives other three strikes straight to the opponent's face - *Crack* - a fast upper cut instantly collides with his chin.

Yujin has sent Xenosis flying again after dodging the previous jab. 

He feels it, he knows that this X isn't the previous one, which mean he was just created with all the data of the former X or inherited them all. Whatever, he is no longer X who Yujin used to know.

Yujin: "So what are you going to bring on?"

Xenosis: "Your death."

This time, he doesn't smile, those eyes reflect the incredible determination - X is really willing to kill Yujin immediately.

Yujin gently smiles, he teleports straight to the opponent and lands a heavy strike into his face.

That crack sound echoes through out the galaxy with the horrible oscillation in both space and time.

Yujin: "You're so kind, let's me send you to the oblivion to show my warmest thanks."

*Smack - Thud* - That strike went straight to the belly of Xenosis, it's strong, it's heavy, it devastated everything inside his body as a hammer mercilessly crushing bones.

X: "Superficial."

Somehow, X can still stand strong after taking that strike, this is the obvious provocation sent to Yujin.

Yujin: "Interesting."

Then they come up with another duel, only legs and arms.

*Kzzzt!* - After three time drawing to each other, X has landed a fast strike, it's rapid as a thunder, passing through Yujin's head.

How unfortunately it is, he has missed it.

Advantage! Yujin rapidly grabbed his opponent's head in that golden chance - *Thud* - a knee strike is driven straight to him.

X: "That's hurt, you bi-"

*Smack* - An upper cut interrupted that moment, non-stop, Yujin jumps ahead, forming a high kick straight into the same weakness.

However X has successfully countered it by jujitsu; he took that kick and followed it to open the chance for the same type high kick to Yujin's chin.

Nevertheless, it required him to fall back almost totally - which means he couldn't block or parry Yujin at that position.

Golden chance! He grabbed that beautiful leg, brutally dragging him back; he also wants to test how much can X do.

*Slash* - A cleave in close range has sent X to death.

Yujin: (Still the same.)

Another ten seconds, Yujin slightly rotates to the left, dodging a fast slash from X; he can see the better version of X right now.

He raises the fingers, two slashes lightly cut through the afterimage of Yujin. 

*Bling* - He immediately counters it with another slash - sharp, speedy and accurate, it cut down X's left arm within a second.

X: "Let's put an end for us."

Recovering - X tries to assault Yujin with the same strikes, however the damage all lands on himself instead of the opponent.

Yujin rushes forward, he mercilessly grabs the face of Xenosis. The purpose is too obvious right now.

Yujin: "Let's end this fast."

Cleave! - Instantly eliminating, he realizes that pulling out more power is necessary.

Yujin: "Cuz I have something to do."

*Tack* - The sound of the rolling gears echo through out the space; Yujin immediately realizes that it's The Temporal Order of this universe. 

Yujin: "Alyne?"

However there's a more important thing to focus on. X instantly appears at his rear, Yujin follows the reflex and lands another cleave on his opponent without any hesitation.

Nevertheless, he witnessed the innocence in those eyes, X showed nothing about being his enemy as they haven't meet each other yet.

Yujin: (What's wrong?)

Those crimson blood bursts out the nebula, dying it into the disgusting mist. 

Yujin is confused: "What's going on?"

*Tack* - Reflex! Yujin instantly flicks his right arm, drawing an invisible light straight to his back.

*Splesh* - X is sent to death again.

Those bright eyes, Yujin carves them to his mind. With Ascension Force, he can easily perceive who really have killing intention with him. And thus, he felt nothing on Xenosis - as an innocence, he observed that X even didn't know where and why he was there.

Yujin: "Time?"

Yujin: "Perhaps."

He expands his vision to the universal level, after two seconds examining the timeline, he realizes that it's skipped ten seconds for each time Alyne used the magical circle. His eyes shine a bright determination, he got that. 

Yujin (determined): "Inheritance."

*Crack* - The lance has broken; Luker almost fell off Hobilion, to be honest, they both entered the Golden Sync very well, however it's only available for a second. They all have their own chains limiting themselves, those chains are preventing them from the true power.

Hobilion knows it, however it doesn't care at all, that pride even reaches the sky. Luker has seen the boundary, one more step, one more step ahead, he can reach that power. Yet, he wants to hold back something - in his "hands."

Thus, it means that they haven't unleashed the full power - with that lance and incomplete ultimate move, Luker and Hobilion has taken down one arm of Alyne.

Alyne: "You all should disappear."

She raises her hands up toward the sky; the dark old wooden staff suddenly breaks itself to pieces - forming to another shape, structure and interface.

Reflecting the shiny light, the rod is covered by runes and astral patterns - it looks like Alyne is holding the starlight in her hand.

Abysmal - The gem is the black hole, but it also looks like as a miniature universe - containing the countless galaxies and nebulas. 

Covering it with nine ancestral dragons with nine different powers in their eyes - Those nine bodies shine the runic fragments, crawling over the dark gem, reaching to the higher place. - Assembly of the nine dragons.

Obviously, it's her holy relic - Universal Guardians - containing nine powerful dragon statues which stand for nine great cores forming the universe.

Her eyes reflect the cyan aura, there's something has been awaken inside herself - something that is really distorted.

"Kill them, revenge. Revenge for Yujin."

Witnessing everything, Adaman can't stand aside anymore. He rushes forward, leaping toward Alyne with his ultimate move: Claws of Reaper - locking the space and time, directly landing itself on the opponent.

Alyne: "Gelum ex spiritu hiemis" (Frost of the Winter's Breath.)

Frozen - Adaman instantly got frozen in the air - *Crack* - with a strong swipe, he remains nothing but a bunch of ice fragments.

Alyne: "Lapsus liber" (Descent in Freefall.)

Gravity is activated - Alyne expands an enormous zone filling with the special rules.

Dividing everything to many categories as G1; G2; G3; G4... then providing them all to the objects inside the zone. Same symbols match each other - attracting each other.

Golden Sync is only activated when Luker and Hobilion both enter the synchronized status - which means Alyne only needs to put them both in different symbols and prevent the action of entering that status.

It works, it actually works. Luker is pulled to left while Hobilion is dragged to the front where the ice piles are waiting.

Hobilion: "You are looking down upon me, aren't you?"

It wings spread outside, hiding under those feathers is the thunder of destruction, they destroy all the blocks ahead - opening a straight way to Alyne.

Hobilion: "This is your biggest fault."

Alyne: "Ventus inter mille flores" (The Wind Amidst a Thousand Blossoms.)

Coming out of nowhere - a strong wind blew it back to the rear, non-stop, thousand of wind slices mercilessly rushing forward.

*Squish - Squish* - Blood has splattered, its left wing has been cut down.

Hobilion: "Sh*t."

Alyne doesn't let anyone to breath, she keeps activating those incantations without any hesitation. Her eyes reflect the determination of distortion - there's a sparkling fragments hiding in her heart that audaciously burning inside herself, so bad.

Alyne: "Perditi in nebula illusionis" (Lost within the Mist of Illusion.)

Flip - Instead of being pulled, this time they're pushed far away from each other.

Luker is suddenly pushed to the left - colliding to the flying rock approaching Hobilion by the remained inertia.

One, two, three rocks are destroyed - Luker pins the red lance into the final object.

Lance of Luker - Ultimate move: Resonance.

It allows him to coercively fuse into any object or thing, in the other words, Luker right now is existing as that flying rock with the G3 symbol.

And guess what, this is his purpose to touch Hobilion again.

Feeling it - Hobilion immediately flies toward him, the rule is no longer pulling, and how fortunate it is - the G2 rock was just pushed away and gave it a chance to reach to Luker via a jump.

Alyne: "Splendens ultra cosmos" (Gleaming Beyond the Cosmos.)

Dino: "Not that fast."

*Fab* - Three minutes have been passed, he just ran out of all the mana, drawing a card is the only thing he can do right now.

Dino: "Bingo, Gungnir."

She immediately realizes that there's something behind, Alyne swings the staff, the abysmal gem shines itself with the power of absorbing.

The Greed: Absorption.

Tearing all the dark clouds surrounding the firmament, the thunder spear of the Allfather - Gungnir has appeared.

It's powerful enough to force Alyne cancel both the gravity and mist to focus on negating the sudden attack - which means Luker and Hobilion has already won.

Luker: "Are you ready?"

*Flash* - Another strike has been landed.

*Crack* - This time they aimed on the staff, abusing the immunity and unstoppable features of Golden Sync, Luker and Hobilion have taken down that holy relic within just a stab.

Alyne: "Tch."

Hobilion: "I just told you that you'd regret."

The red eyes have shone the up-coming disaster - The Crimson Dragon.

Alyne: "Mare Rubinum" (The Ruby Ocean.)

It works as domain expansion; Alyne fulfilled the surrounding space with a blurry crimson mirrored structure - some exists as objects, but some of them seem that are hiding under the space - reflecting the other sides of dimension.

Luker: "Doesn't matter."

He touches Hobilion gently, they match each other again.

Zone - Everything is erased in their sight, remaining a road - the straight road leading to their goal.

Hobilion starts running - the broken crystal sounds echo through out the ruby ocean - each step they move contains the destruction, crushing everything to dust.

However, they aren't in their domain - this is Alyne's domain!

*Cling* - A sharp echo rebounds through out this complex structure; for some reason, Luker has disappeared.

Hobilion glares its eyes to carve that weird event into its mind. They are one self due to the resonance power of the holy lance, in the other words, it's impossible to be separated like that.

Everything was white, the small details turned to nothing, the countless sharp ruby fragments also turned to dust. Luker was in the pre-Golden Sync status - which means it only took him one more step to enter the true Golden Sync.

Luker: "So why am I here?"

He only remembers that they were in the Road of Ascension, then everything was immersed in the white light. And now he is here.

Luker: "What just happened?"

He looks around, observing everything surrounding him; then he comes up with a strike.

There's one technique allowing any lancer to land a decisive strike while they're on the horse - by spinning the lance, creating a tornado at the top, by the way it allows them to form extra wind slices following the body of the lance.

It's very simple, very simple, but that simple technique even lets them to stab through everything within just a strike.

Luker: "I don't know how strong you are, mage. My world didn't exist the beings like you."

*Whirl - Whirl* - The sharp sounds echo around and around the crimson dimension, there's something arising - Lancers' Techniques: Lesson 3 - Rotation.

And when I said that it allowed them to stab through everything, I meant that they could really stab through everything that exists in reality - even the barrier between dimensions or universes. 

*Crack* - The lance spins and spins, flying straight to Alyne, who is casting a spell locking Hobilion, with maximum speed, breaking and tearing down everything on its trajectory.

Back to Luker, he is now running straight to Hobilion.

Alyne: "Atzut."

The First Crimson Dragon, Atzut, it stands for the deepest despair inside each being.

*Crack* - Broken fragments - Alyne has easily dodged that simple attack, and Luker, he has lost his left arm into those teeth.

Crimson Ocean, crimson fragments, crimson dimension and crimson blood, all of them weave to each other and form an unified scene, don't they?

However, after all he has touched Hobilion again, they've assembled one more time.

Hobilion: "Human, we can't attack without a spear or lance."

Luker: "Don't worry, do you see that reflected light?"

It raises its couple of eyes up, toward the left angle, where the dim light is hiding.

Hobilion: "Got it."

Luker also stops yapping as usual, he downs his body to the back of Hobilion, ready for the next strike.

Alyne: "Perditi in nebula illusionis" (Lost within the Mist of Illusion.)

Lancer's Techniques: Lesson 3 - Rotation, updated version - Center of Tornado.

Luker: "Sound great, right?"

Hobilion: "Mid."

Luker: "Bruh."

Back to the past, at the forsaken realm #323, there was lack of the existence that's called "mana" or "aura" - which means there wasn't rich energy in the air.

Thus, Luker and other weren't trained to pew pew (cast) the spells as mages like Alyne, Clara, Lucy or Himeno. They all tried to accumulate as much as possible those diluted mist of energy and concentrate them to the denser form.

And now, that limit has gone, surrounding him with the rich energy condition, Luker has no reason to waste it.

Luker: "Left!"

Hobilion: "Got it."

Then they turned right, dodging a confused strike of Atzut after playing a trick on it. 

Realizing that being made fun of, the crimson dragon unleashes all the saved mana, ready for the wrath of itself.

Hobilion: "Are we cooked?"

Luker: "No, we cook!"

Road of Ascension - Echoing around with the sound of heaven, stretching through out the crimson ocean a holy light - they have locked in.

The sound of distorting dimension has rung out loud; they got it, they've entered the Golden Sync one more time.

This time, Luker doesn't recall the lance, he uses his hands as an alternative - the wind is scrolling around and around him as a blessing.

Luker: "Lesson 5, upgraded version."

Alyne rapidly draws ten runes in the air, she tries to cast multi-spell at once. In theory, she actually can do it, however remaining only an arm with the effort to maintain both the mist and crimson ocean currently. 

Luker: "Don't you think it's that easy?"

Spear of Agolmost - a fatal blow has been shifted straight to her chest, leaving there a cute hole fulfilled by the emptiness inside. 

Go forth, the combination of them has been upgraded to the higher version. Instead once, they can do it twice right now.

Road of Ascension!

*Tap - Tap* - Do you hear that? Sounds of blood drops in a rhythmic manner, slowly, smoothly and melodiously. Those crimson drops drip from that cute small head, Alyne's had is grabbed totally in his hand.

Luker: "Phew, almost die."

Hobilion: "Tch, you owe me my left wing."

Luker: "I see nothing here. None of my business there."

Sike! Everything hasn't ended yet - *Squish - Squish* - three ice piles ruthlessly stabbed through Luker's chest, neck and heart. Nevertheless, they're even spinning as drillers.

Luker: "Kulp. Kuh. Krak!"

The second pile drills as hard as possible, leaving there a big empty hole, the blood squirts out as a crimson river. The first one also left there another hole that crushed all the two lungs inside him. Fortunately it wasn't too late, Luker had prevented the third pile aiming to his heart before, however the wounds are too severe.

*Boom* - Flash bang. Another plot twist has been revealed; it turns out that Luker had made this circumvention at the start, waiting for Alyne to step into it.

Luker: "Pik-ka-pu."

Alyne: "Bazz!"

Bazz is the name of the second dragon of the broken realm staff, it guarded the thunders in the sky, flying over the clouds. Bazz, Dragon of the Thunderous Sky.

Dino: "Mentioning about Thunder, we also have one."

Gungnir - Thunder Spear of TheAllfather.

The spear crosses out the mist surrounding them, it breakthroughs all the crimson floating fragments. As a harvest of reaper, it clears everything blocking in its trajectory.

Within a second, its blade has been next right to her neck; after just a shockwave, she can even feal the up-coming death if she doesn't dodge it right now.

Alyne: "Tch."

She raises her hand up to the sky, the flow of time has been stopped in a second - enough for her to escape that pincer.

Adaman: "Even though I can no longer use the same reality manipulation move as what I used to do."

He came out of nowhere, via the hiding power of a side character that I've forgotten her name. 

Domain Expansion - Due to the scarce time and hurry process, he only can carve his domain into this dimension with a limited zone. However it's still enough - 5 seconds remaining.

*Crack* - His hand has been broken by colliding with the dense ice shield.

Adaman: (Doesn't matter.)

*Crack* - A fast kick was shifted straight to that small cute silhouette, this is violence.

Nice try, but it's broken again.

Adaman (awkward): (Wao.)

Aura losing; he withdraws immediately, however his plan has been successfully done.

Ruler's Authority (incomplete) - Negate all the current manipulation on the specific timeline.

In the other words, Alyne can't hold that time stop anymore.

Adaman: "Dino!"

Dino instantly draws a card - The Fool. Due to the reset main deck, he now has 19 cards left.

Alyne: "You son of b*"

Adaman: "Educate that naughty girl bro."

Recover! Alyne immediately escapes from that deadly trap, however, beneath the authority of The Fool, she can't do it clearly.

Alyne: "This is your choice, this is your all choice!!!"

Those eyes reflect the rage of a woman - calamity. She instantly releases all the power, summoning all the nine dragons.

(Kill. Kill you all!)

Alyne: "Kill. Kill you all!"

Even Yujin can see that determination, he instantly realizes that there's another existence inside Alyne. Perhaps she's her second personality, or even the other Alyne. Experiencing the morale domain, he doesn't feel strange with that situation anymore.

Then he looks back, where X is standing and waiting for him, and steps each step closer to him.

Rudolf: "Yujin."

Yujin: "Who are you?

Rudolf: "It doesn't matter, listen. I only have 3 chances, this is the first time. Your opponent..."

His eyes open widely, Yujin is shocked by listening to the final truth.

*Tack* - Instantly archiving it into his morale domain, Yujin'd even done it before he came up with the clear thought.

*Sound of the Anomaly Event Occurring* - He felt that there's something looking on him, it observes everything and see through everything.

He knows that his a second-previous-self really did something to cause this censorship. He knows that there's a locked information inside his morale domain, carving these details into his mind, he's aware of the seriousness of this problem.

He also wonders what it is, however it'd make no sense if he just unsealed it here - the up-coming death is waiting for him. 

Yujin seriously looks at X, or even Rudolf, who is standing 5 meters from him with the confused eyes.

Rudolf: "Remember that Yujin, don't forget your primordial purpose."

Yujin: "Who are you?"

He confidently points his finger to himself - that smile is even strange and similar to Yujin at the same time. He realizes that he forgot something, something really important.

"My name is Rudolf Hy---, this is the fourth time we meet each other. I wish your dream would be fulfilled, Yujin."

Yujin (surprised): "I see, thanks, you too."

Arriving and leaving, that smile still shines until the last second.

Seems like Yujin just got a new question waiting to be figured out. He smiles.

Yujin: (I wonder... I wonder what you're all hiding.)

After 10 seconds, Yujin knows that X has given up - which means there's no more a reason for him to maintain this meaningless duel.

Yujin friendly extends his warmest respect to both DoD and X, who are hiding in another dimension, via his middle finger.

Yujin: "What are you seeking for?"

That old man smiles gently; in the unseen dimension, there's something coming - *Slash - Clash* - negated!

Yujin: "What are you doing here, Odin?"

Odin: "Don'tforg..."

Anomaly event occurred.

"My name his Rudolf Hy---, this is the fourth time we meet each other. I wish your dream would be fulfilled, Yujin."

Yujin (surprised): "I see, thanks, you too."

Yujin (wondering): (Too?)

Yujin (confused): (What just happened?)

Then he glances on the North space where the entrance of Beyond Realm has appeared.

Yujin: "I remember that I haven't let you all in yet."

???: "Human, don't be foolish."

???: "Haha, hold your tongue, inferiority."

???: "Hope that you can still keep that demeanor after a minute."

Yujin: "It doesn't matter right now."

Ascension Force - He unleashes that power again, strengthening the seal on the dimensional gate.

Yujin: "Don't worry, whenever I'm here, you all are nothing but a bunch of corpses"

Those blurry silhouettes releases their rages and wraths through the effort to destroy the entrance.

The crack sounds echo through out the gate, breaking the surrounding space; it's so obviously a threat.

Yujin: "Keep struggling."

*Crack - Crack - Crack* - Each time their godly power collides to the gate, each time the seal gets broken. Unfortunately, their opponent is Yujin.

Yujin: "Seems like you need to learn some lessons."

*Crack* - Blood has squirted out, the cost for that mistake is her arm.

Alyne: "Gelum ex spiritu hiemis" (Frost of the Winter's Breath")

Clara: "Negate!"

Due to the lower rank of incantation, Clara can't totally make Alyne's attack disappeared. However change its trajectory is still possible.

Alyne: "I will kill you soon."

Clara: "You better survive first."

"Nine Realms." - Chant 1

*Squish - Spelsh* - Road of Ascension - Luker's arm even stabs through that small lady.

"Void." - Chant 2

Alyne: "Fant!"

Dragon of the nine realm firmament - Fant - has been released.

Dino: "The Mirror."

Counterattack! The third dragon has been defeated.

Adaman takes that advantage, he teleports straight to her rear.

An upper cut is thrown to her spine - *Crack* - that's seriously hurt.

"Shattered Sky." - Chant 3

She instantly activates time stop again.

Adaman saw that, he just smiled.

Adaman: "Seems like you just forget me."

Alyne: "Shut up, brat."

There's a taboo while learning magics, mages are not allowed to access to Chaos.

Seal of Truth - the supreme seal hiding the ultimate power from the world. They are too overpowered, even the almighty beings are afraid of it.

"Alyne."

"Yes?"

"If there's one day you needed to open that gate again. Don't lost in it, Alyne."

Alyne: "Maxlerita ambus Leris."

This incantation is based on the highest class Runes that she can access to at the old realm. In Aurorize System of Rune classes, it's even worth the second tier, staying above 9998 others. 

Extra information, Runes are the special symbols used to extend or express the supreme operating rules of realms or worlds. All of the people here are the strongest one of their old realms, those realms are created and bound in the multi-realm system that's called "Parvusa."

It lies at the same coordinates as Aurorize, however they're the existences at different dimensions - which means they are two images on a paper.

And the paper contains Aurorize is called "universe" - beyond the universe is outer dimension, dark dimension,... Lastly, they are standing in the vestige beyond Aurorize - at the forsaken dimension.

Whatever, they are all ruled by the higher systems; they contain their own creation in themselves with their own system. Thus, Runes were created for creatures to access to that level of beings.

Back to the story, "Maxlerita" is the synonym of "God" in Language of Prutanous - #2 in list of Aurorize System (runes).

Do I really need to explain more? I mean "God", obviously Godlike power.

Alyne instantly isolates the spacetime surrounding her in 250-meter zone, even the domain expansion is useless beneath this authority of godlike beings.

She doesn't relax, recovering all the wounds on the body, Alyne chants the last word of the incantation: "Destruction."

The spacetime is suddenly distorted, twisted to the center - Alyne. Reflecting the unknown lights, her eyes shine the determination of the gate keeper. 

Alyne: "Come here."

All the nine dragons are unleashed, unbound and unlimited. They glance on all the inferiorities under their eyes, with just a breath, the space is broken totally - they instantly eliminated everything in the zone.

Lady Luck - Gifted Luck - Reality Interference. 

After a crack sound, they are both sent flying. That strike was dangerous, it even took Dino two lucky cards to negate it.

*Zzzt* - The sound of evaporation.

Dino: (Even destroy my cards?)

Alyne: "You are annoying."

Her eyes don't show any hesitation or dalliance, she is really serious at killing Dino right away.

Dino: "Adaman!"

Reflexing to that detail, Alyne instantly throws a beam of destruction on the Ruler - instantly kill him.

Vestige - Center of the Runic City, there's a guy with a white shiny hair that's very dazzling and lurid.

*Tach - Tach - Tach* - His thumbs moving up and down, left and right rapidly on the handled game console. Seems like he's entering the dungeon boss room, his thumbs move as a thunder storm - reasonably, the character dodges all the attacks as an invisible ghost.

Left, left, right, jump, air dash, parry, back, parry - first counter.

The hero takes out the secondary weapon - a staff. He chants a spell that summons a barrier to block the AOE attack from the BOSS.

He has two seconds, instantly chanting the stun spell - he holds it for the last second then releasing it to maximize the power.

Stun! Nice chance - the hero instantly switches to the first weapon, a sword, for the special move: storm of blades.

The HP of it's instantly reduced by half - that's a lot of damage.

He rapidly clicks the upper button, which is used to switch between weapons, this time is the third one - a longsword with snake-shaped blade. It's called Flammard.

Special move! The hero stabs it through the boss' belly, due to the balance of classes, this boss is lack of protection or resistance of physical damage. The only shield it has is magical one, used to parry the first strike with no damage taken per minute.

Unfortunately, the Flammard is enchanted with the special spirit which negate all the protection.

*Splesh* - That wet sound is so great, he withdraws it with a bonus two-second stun.

Golden chance! Freeze is activated via the enchanted level 8 rune - basic spell that causes the three-second stun on single target. 

Switch - Secondary weapon has been chosen, he casts a basic spell - level 1 fireball.

*Boom* - The boss instantly changes to its second form - The Chaos Mage.

The duration is about three seconds, after that is another AOE nuke. 

He pauses the game, looking up to the sky, in the outer space where they're fighting so hard.

He frowns those eyebrows, showing a dissatisfied face.

Paragon: "Why are they fighting so hard?"

Suddenly a pair of hands gently touch his shoulder, hiding in a mist of darkness, she sways that body charmingly.

Her hair reflects the light of moon and stars, that lips can kill every common men on the world in a first sight. 

Anley: "Don't you want to help that girl?"

Paragon: "Nah, I'm lazy."

Then he continues to the current match, a typical example of unchanged guy in the ever-changing world.

Anley puffs her cheeks, opening those shiny eyes in order to act spoiled - she want attention.

Paragon: "Go play with those girls Anley, I'm facing the final boss."

She shows a stubborn face, rubbing her cheeks against his face while nagging.

Anley: "Boring. Play with me, please."

Paragon: "Nah, this boss is more attractive than you little girl."

The flame bursts in her eyes, she drives a strong strike to his head.

*Ouch* - Paragon: "Hey!"

"Defeated" - The clear voice has dragged him back to that game console; he has lost.

Paragon: "Sh*t."

No longer feeling good, he silently put that device inside his multi-purpose sleeve.

Paragon: "System."

|Loading...|

|System #037 has been activated. Waiting for command...|

Paragon: "What is this dimension? I feel like there're more than twenty guys stronger than me."

|Due to the limit of authority, I can only let you know that this is the dimension beyond Aurorize - my starting point. Do you want to activate the daily quest?|

Paragon: "So we're going to access to the higher dimension after this one?"

|I can't tell you clearly, there's something binding me. However, you're right; Aurorize is your destination.|

Everything turns to silence, the deadly silence; then he slightly sighs as accepting the truth.

Paragon: "Don't let me down, Aurorize."

|Daily Quest: Collect all the 6 fragments of light|

|Reward: The Key of The Gate.|

Paragon: "Inventory, Glacias."

Outer Space, at the edge of the forsaken dimension, exactly at the gate leading to the Beyond Realm.

Loki: "Why are you trying so hard, Yujin?"

Yujin: "Don't you just forget that who I am?"

According to the detail that Loki knows his name, Yujin has realized that they all know who he is - which means they can archive the memory from previous loops.

Yujin doesn't want to keep it secret anymore, he flips his card first on this playground. If everything must come to an end by the decided fate, running away from it just makes no sense.

Loki: "Kek kek, so you just admit it right?"

Yujin: "Don't be fooled Loki, if you all can, just come here and take my head down."

He extends the warmest goodwill through the middle finger; for the rage of previous loops, or for the will to figure out the truth or even for the his ego, Yujin all wants to destroy these disgusting creatures.

Yujin: "Sent my greeting to Chaos, I will send not only you, but him and even the godlike beings to Hell, I promise."

Taking that outrage, all the gods in Valhalar Council have been provoked.

Loki (distorting): "You want to play like that right?"

Loki (distorting): "Sounds like we gonna play right?"

He points to the vestige, where Dino is struggling with Alyne, to summon his clone in the card.

Yes, you heard it right. Because of the inferior class he was in, Dino couldn't climb over the valley of thousand realms, he wasn't supposed to be here.

Until that day, he met them - The Outer Gods of Aurorize.

The all the cards from his extra deck came from their hands. According to the situation, Gungnir and Loki have been released.

And now, it's Odin's turn.

Loki laughs in the madness, his eyes expand and distort itself to the weird shape, the corners of the mouth even stretch through the cheeks, reaching to almost the ears.

Loki (mad): "You better take care of your little senorita."

Observing everything, Yujin doesn't even look back for a little bit. He doesn't want to carry an useless partner, however, he knows that if he interrupt them right now, Alyne won't be able to go further.

Yujin: "Help? I don't think she really needs my help."

*Crack* - She breaks the space, stopping time and releasing everything she can to dominate the battlefield. There's something inside herself has been awakened.

"Go beyond, Alyne."

Her eyes reflect the incredible determination, that cyan light contains the unshakable volition.

Alyne: "Yujin."

Alyne (high): "Come here."

Golden Sync - being negated for thrice, even the "calm" guy as Luker has felt indignant.

Hobilion: "I want to kill her."

Luker: "Chill out bro, me too."

He knows that Alyne has a bunch of things to counter him while the process. In the other words, he needs someone to open up a chance for him.

Adaman instantly gives him a sign - got it - Luker and Hobilion start running on the Road of Ascension.

Dino: "Hold on."

*Fab* - Excalibur, sword of the King has been drawn.

He grabs that shiny longsword in a second, instantly porting himself to the rear of Alyne. His purpose is very obvious right now.

Alyne: "Gelum ex spiritu hiemis" 

As same as Gungnir, this sword is based on the legendary relic of Authur Pendragon - The King of Camelot.

Based on the myth, this sword even existed before the world, forming by the power of Chaos, Excalibur has been there for a loop. It contains the unlimited power of truth and chaos, the beginning of creation and destruction.

However this card only gives Dino an ability to mimic 20% power of each hero who used this sword previously.

Dino: "Astru ki Ast."

It's the Rune#5 of The Aurorize's Rune List; Dino instantly holds up that sword, she unleashes its aura via the blade, cutting everything surrounding him within a movement.

Dino: "Let's dance!"

Instantly leaping forward, Dino swings his sword continuously, when the previous slash hasn't come yet, the next three slashes have been released.

This technique is called "Surge Upon Surge" - which was created by the 25th hero of the unknown era. In short, it's the best choice to put pressure on an enemy with the highest tempo.

They fly across the sky, over the vestige. Dino always forces Alyne into the pincer movement, however, she also has her counterstrike to escape that simple trap.

Alyne: "Lapsus liber" (Descent in Freefall.)

Dino: "Reflect."

On theory, Excalibur does give the user the ability to master all the abilities coming from the previous users with the maximum level is 20%. However, about the runes, it's the coercive action overwriting on his brain - which mean he only can use what is carved into his brain, very risky.

Sometime it even gets in trouble due to the overflow of the information processor, so he has an alternative for that worst scenario - breaking down the runes to the suitable lower rank runes which keep the same features.

Similarly, its power is also reduced, nevertheless, a little bit of it is still enough to counter the strike - his purpose is completed totally.

Reflect - The ultimate move of the 36th hero - which gives him the ability to counter any kind of attacks below the world or realm level, no matter the condition. According to the disadvantage in bad luck, Dino has missed 80% of it, however within just that 20% power, it's still enough to change the trajectory of the up-coming spell from Alyne.

Adaman instantly breaks through the ice cage locking him inside, he rushes straight to Alyne with those two fists - time to beat woman.

Adaman: "I mean opponent."

Suddenly, the atmosphere surrounding them is changed without any signal.

Looking to the past, Adaman was a guy holding no fear inside his mind. Climbing over the Mountain of Thousand Realms, running on the River of Causality and even destroying the Bridge of Broken Realms.

Passing through those processes, he has trained his fists to the unforeseen level, and now is the time for him to use them again.

Adaman: "This first strike, take it thoroughly."

Left - Adaman.

Right - Dino.

Front - Luker and Hobilion.

Alyne is stuck in the worst situation, what should she do?

*Tack* - Final Chant: "Nullify" - In short, "Destruction" wasn't the final chant, it's only used to bait all of them.

Show don't tell - the final chant has completed the incantation; it immediately cancels all the current attacks, authorities, states,... which means she can...

Alyne: "Time stop."

After an echoed sound of the suddenly stopped gears of this dimension, the flow of time has been paused within a thought - seems like Alyne has won.

Alyne: "Alz..."

*Squish - Splesh* - How weird it is, the whole lance has stabbed through her hip, puncturing herself in an easily visible bloody wound.

In her astonishment, the crimson fishy blood slightly weaves through her small lips. It tastes disgusting, the taste of losing. Her eyes slowly turn to red, they both reflect the unwillingness, she can't let herself fall down like this.

However, however those crimson liquid isn't stopping, it's flowing through that lips, no matter how much she tries to hold them back. Following the chin to the neck, it's going to be impossible to tolerate.

And the reason for everything all comes from who was holding the lance, the special power spinning around it is the key.

Lesson 3 - Rotation, upgraded version: Sky Breaker.

Luker: "So sorry senorita, I can't fall down at here."
