Chapter 132 - Why Don't We Stop Here? *DONE EDITING*

Fumio descends and stops on top of the mound of Darcy's titanium sand.

"Is he still alive?" He asks Red who is still standing in the air.

He has been watching from his flying sword two hundred meters above the island. He wanted to watch the fight closer but Red ordered him not to. Now that everything is over, he cannot wait to study Darcy's sand.

"He'll live." Red confirms.

"But you shouldn't have showed yourself yet." He shakes his head.

"Huh?" Fumio gets apprehensive immediately and he activates his invisibility seal.

"Too late. Hope he didn't memorize what you look like." Red chuckles.

Before Fumio can wonder why or who Red is referring to, *FwAAAHHHH* the water at the beach suddenly starts rising.

Fumio is startled and he flies away immediately.

Reaching a safe distance, he watches in awe and fear as a giant Tokyo-dome sized turtle made of water come into existence below him. He cannot help but feel small seeing that the turtle is even larger than the small deserted island. The turtle is already as large as Tokyo dome being half submerged, so he is curious to see how large the turtle's entire body is.

He also notices that the turtle is not simply made up of static water, but water that is flowing at great speeds. He figures that if dives into the turtle's body, he will get carried away by the water current.

He is sure that it is a superioris ability as he can make out a middle-aged Caucasian man's figure, at least the upper half of it, standing on top of the turtle's head.

"DOMINIC LITTLE…" Red calls out.

He has already felt the superiori's existence with his spirit sense even before Darcy and Darcy's ship arrived. That is the reason why he woke Samuel up. He figures that Dominic must have planned to show if the negotiations broke down, which is exactly what happened.

"MR. ZAYTSEV…" Dominic calls out the pseudonym that Red used in the video he sent Dominic.

"OR WHATEVER YOUR NAME IS." He adds.

"NICE WEATHER, ISN'T IT?" Red does not address the man's skepticism of his name.

"WHAT DO YOU WANT?" Dominic does not address the weather and gets to the point immediately.

"WHAT DO YOU THINK I WANT?" Red asks in return.

"I DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU WANT, BUT YOU HAVE WHAT I WANT. I DON'T KNOW WHAT SPELL OR ABILITY YOU USED TO CLAIM MY AND THE ARGUS'S … LITTLE TRINKETS, BUT THEY'RE OURS." Dominic proclaims.

"YOURS?" Red pulls out the wood chip that belonged to Dominic and raises it towards Dominic's direction.

"WELL COME GET IT THEN." He then taunts.

"…" Dominic frowns.

"WHO ARE YOU? AND WHY CAN'T I FIND ANY INFORMATION ABOUT YOU?" He asks.

He is not falling for the taunting as he can feel an unexplainable danger and hidden bloodlust from Red. He feels that Red is like him who traversed many battlefields. He suspects that Red has killed even more people than he did. He figures that someone with Red's aura should not be unknown.

"WHAT'S IT TO YOU?" Red continues to taunt.

"THERE ARE ONLY A SHORT OF FOUR HUNDRED OF US S-CLASS. WE ALL KNOW EACH OTHER. I'VE ASKED AROUND ABOUT YOU, AND NO ONE CAN TELL ME ANYTHING ABOUT YOU." Dominic says.

"DID YOU REALLY ASK EVERYBODY?" Red smirks.

"…" Dominic has no answer. He knows that people can lie to him anytime. The only thing that worries him is who he will offend if he kills Red.

"THIS THING IS MINE NOW." Red pockets the wood chip back and turns around.

Even though Dominic is wary of Red's identity, he is willing to risk offending whoever is backing Red for the wood chip.

He quickly loads the mouth of his giant turtle with water, before firing a car-sized water ball towards Red.

Red simply steps aside, dodging it without looking.

*FFFWWWAAHHHH*

"...shit…' Fumio who saw the water ball zoom past ten or so meters away from him, feels his spine tingle.

He estimates that the water ball was as fast as a bullet.

'Get away.' He then receives a message from Red through his communication token.

"Boss…" Fumio is speechless that Red has the nerve to send him messages while dodging giant bullet speed water balls.

Dominic does not stop at just one water ball. Seeing Red dodge his water ball easily, he continues to fire water balls upon water balls of differing sizes to Red's direction.

A few moments later however, fear starts knocking on Dominic's heart.

After firing water balls like a machine gun at Red, Red is still unharmed and successfully dodged everything.

Dominic grits his teeth and opens more water cannons in the shell of the turtle above him, and continues his assault.

*BUBUBUBBUBUBU*

Fumio this time, cannot believe what he is seeing.

The deserted island that was peaceful just a few minutes ago, is now full of holes and new ditches on it. It was not even directly impacted. Around the giant turtle, whirlpools are also start appearing, as if vacuuming the sea water around it.

What he is more awed by however, is Red. He is already confident in his eyes, but seeing Red dodge what can only be considered as giant bullets, is making his head spin and his eyes hurt. It looks as if Red is phasing in and out of everywhere.

Dominic on the other hand, is starting to sweat. Fear is also starting to seep in his heart. He knows that if he does not hit Red with anything substantial, he will lose, judging on how easy it looks for Red to dodge his attacks.

His fear is proven true as he sees Red suddenly zoom towards him at a speed that even he who can see bullets travel with his naked eyes, can barely follow.

He quickly sinks himself to the depths of the body of his turtle for protection.

The next moment, to his surprise, Red actually dove in the body of his turtle. He watches stunned as Red gets carried away by the water current in his turtle's body.

He then sees Red's figure suddenly stops and he sees Red's legs kicking incessantly as if swimming. His eyes widen in surprise, witnessing such scene for the first time. The water current in his turtle is five times faster than the speed a riot control water spurts out water. He can crush buildings with such force just by getting them inside his turtle's body, and yet Red is swimming against that strong water current.

He then manipulates the water to attempt to drag Red closer to the center where the current is much stronger. To his relief, it works and Red's figure gets carried away again, now much deeper.

The next moment however, to his disappointment, Red suddenly escapes.

He does not know how Red did it, but he is not that surprised. He has seen how Red dug through Darcy's titanium sand with bare hands so he is wary or Red's physique.

Through the clear water, he can see Red's figure outside, standing in the air, and looks to be waiting for him to take action.

Dominic does not want any factors affecting the fight so he wants to go all out immediately in case something happens that prevents him from doing so.

So, he wills his powers to once again continue absorbing seawater expand his turtle. A few seconds later, he has reached his limit. His turtle is now 100 meters tall and 400 meters long.

He is still feeling apprehensive however.

While expanding, he saw that Red is still standing outside, simply maintaining the distance with arms crossed, waiting arrogantly, not showing any signs of fear or even wariness.

He then wills his power to switch purposes and hundreds of small whirlpools start appearing on the surface of his turtle. Soon, these whirlpools start transforming to giant water balls. And the next moment, they all shoot at Red.

Not all at once, but strategically.

*FU**FU*FU*FU*FU

Not only has the number of his water balls increased; their speed has doubled too.

The next moment however, Dominic's jaw drops as he sees Red still confidently dodge the water balls. He wants to pull his hair out seeing that even though he already increased the speed and quantity of his attacks, Red is still comfortable dodging. Not only that, he also notices that Red has not geared up speeds.

He cannot help but entertain the thought that Red can read his mind; knowing where he attacks next, knowing which of the prepped water balls will be shot off next.

Soon enough, the 100 meter tall and 400 meter long turtle has shrunk by a few meters. This signifies that the water he has put under his control is starting to run out after wasting them on his attacks on Red.

Not only that, the smaller his turtle is, the slower his water balls will be, so it will be useless to continue attacking at this state.

At this point, he does not know what else to do. He can only figure that they are at a stalemate. He cannot land a water ball on Red no matter how he tries, and Red too cannot break through his turtle to attack him. 

"WE BOTH KNOW THAT WE'RE AT A STALEMENT. WHY DON'T WE STOP HERE?" Dominic swallows his pride and decides to resort to a more civil method. 

"YOU'VE GONE ALL OUT, IT SEEMS. BUT DO YOU THINK I HAVE?" Red asks in return.

"..." Dominic grits his teeth. He hears the certainty in Red's voice. He has been seen through. 

"EVEN IF YOU HAVEN'T, WILL YOUR BEST BE ENOUGH TO EVEN HURT ME?" He is still confident with his defense however. 

"DON'T YOU FIND THIS SCENE FAMILIAR? YOUR FRIEND DARCY SAID SOMETHING SIMILAR.." Red smirks.
