In Kurogami Residence.
''ICHIRO!'' Azumi and Eiji shouted with shock after seeing Avery's hand piercing him.
Iris gasped— she covered her mouth with her hand.
Leia and Ayako couldn't completely understand what had happened.
In their minds, Ichiro is undefeatable existence.
They couldn't completely comprehend what had just happened.
...
In Nightside Residence.
''ICHIRO!'' Azura screamed.
Alena went pale.
Aether and Abyss stayed silent.
They know that the match has only begun.
...
In Snowland's Hospital.
''Oh my god!'' Alice gasped.
Michael and Liam went pale.
''H-He is trying to kill him!'' Alice screamed.
Liam went pale and clutched his chest.
''No...'' Michael said quietly with a fear-filled face.
...
In Sunlove Residence.
''... They have lost,'' Lily said without emotion.
Solar sighed and shook his head.
Avery is on the whole another level after all.
In the other room.
Luna was quiet, she saw clearly how Avery's hand pierced Ichiro's body, but she had a hunch... That this wound won't affect him at all.
...
''Over already?'' Avron chuckled.
''Young master is indeed ruthless.'' The Elders around him chuckled.
...
''RAA!'' Ichiro shouted and punched with his left arm!
Avery grinned and used his left arm as well and punched!
Their fists collided, which caused the floor below them to crack in pieces!
But neither of them took a step backward.
Ichiro used his right arm and touched his chest.
[Iron Demon - Demonic Healing!]
The massive hole in his chest started slowly closing in.
Soon, the hole was closed, but it was not completely healed.
Blood still flowed from the wound, but the biggest bleeding had been stopped.
*SWOOSH*
Avery appeared in front of Ichiro and did a spinning roundhouse kick!
[Moon Technique - Spinning Lotus!]
Ichiro put his arm as a block, but something strange happened with his arm.
His bulging muscles started slowly moving around.
Avery's kick contacted with his block but before that.
Ichiro's muscles appeared on the spot where Avery was going to kick, completely nullifying the impact of the kick.
''!'' Avery widened his eyes, he quickly moved away.
Ichiro's muscles went to their usual spot.
This is the true potential of Iron's Style's Ultimate Technique.
Absolute control of his muscles.
He can move them around his body, he can change their shape, and he can even move all his muscles to his legs, increasing his speed by a lot.
But there is a significant flaw in this technique.
His bones and organs simply can't handle all the movement of muscles.
If he overuses it, his organs will start failing, and his bones will break.
There is also the fact that Ichiro will become incredibly hungry while using this technique.
If he uses too late, then he might die out of starvation.
Currently, Ichiro feels like he hasn't eaten for 3 days.
This morning, Ichiro ate till he was completely full, but that had a negligible effect in the end.
'I have no time to waste!' Ichiro screamed internally— he felt like his stomach was completely empty.
He controlled his muscles and moved them all to his legs.
His upper body became very skinny, but his legs looked like the legs of a monster!
Ichiro moved like a lightning bolt and appeared in front of Avery.
Ichiro quickly controlled his muscles and moved them all to his right arm.
Avery couldn't see even his movement, but with his great reflexes, he quickly moved out of the way.
Ichiro saw that he won't be able to hit him.
He decided to stop his attack and moved his muscles around his body for their usual spots.
''You remind me of certain someone.'' Avery suddenly said with a grinning face, ''That guy could use his fat body to block almost all attacks, but against me... He was nothing but a punching bag— I liked his face when he started crying.''
''Oh?'' Ichiro said with no emotion.
''He was fucking disgusting one...'' Avery trembled after remembering that person.
*SWOOSH*
Ichiro unleashed his jab, but Avery already reacted and moved out of the way.
[Iron Fury - Solidity]
Ichiro's right arm became blurry, and he unleashed jabs without stopping.
Avery quickly moved his body and dodged every incoming jab.
He was still calmly smiling.
Giron grimaced, 'This reminds me of his previous matches... Avery will soon try to end this match.'
But... Out of nowhere, Avery's vision became blurry, and Ichiro's jab hit him in the cheek!
''URGH!'' Avery was pushed backward, and a small bruise started appearing on his cheek.
''?!'' Giron was shocked, 'What happened?!'
Ichiro stopped doing jabs— he narrowed his eyes, 'He is injured... I guess Sariel's attack did more damage than he thought.'
Avery gritted his teeth and touched the back of his head, which was bleeding furiously.
He rubbed his eyes, and his vision became clear once again.
'That fucker...' Avery gritted his teeth hatefully, 'He dared to harm me... I wonder does he have a girlfriend or... Sister... I will show him despair before he dies.'
'What is he thinking now...' Ichiro narrowed his eyes.
*Rumble*
Ichiro's stomach was rumbling, and he felt exhaustion started kicking in.
Avery cracked his neck, ''Fuck, I am tired of this place.''
[Secret Moon Technique - Moon's Despair]
Avery started circling around Ichiro's figure, but...
His body started slowly multiplying!
Ichiro blinked blankly, he turned around, but he saw dozens of Avery's circling around him.
[Iron Stomp - Earth Shaker!]
*BAM*
Ichiro stomped powerfully on the ground, which caused the entire arena to shake.
Even the stadium was trembling!
The audience stumbled around, and some almost fell down.
Avery's afterimages started slowly disappearing.
After every afterimage was gone... Avery was nowhere to be seen!
Ichiro didn't panic.
[Calm Nature Activated]
He closed his eyes and heard the vibrations coming from the air.
Ichiro... Since the beginning of the match... Couldn't hear any noises.
Not from Avery or Giron.
He acted like he heard everything they said, but in reality... He heard nothing.
Except for one thing... The vibrations coming from the air.
He heard every vibration coming from air and earth— it is impossible for Avery to hide from him.
Soon... He found vibrations increasing— it is coming from behind him!
[Moon Technique - Moon Broker!]
Avery with a grinning face, attacked with his palm towards Ichiro's spinal cord.
Giron and others screamed loudly towards Ichiro, but he didn't hear them.
But... He knew a long time ago that Avery was behind him.
Avery's palm was only an inch away from hitting, but then... Ichiro did a quick sidestep to the left.
''?!'' Avery's palm missed, and his body was wide open.
Ichiro grabbed Avery from his throat.
''?!'' Avery widened his eyes in shock— he quickly used his leg to unleash a counter-attack.
[Ultimate Moon Technique - Dark Side of the Moon!]
But before that kick could hit Ichiro...
Ichiro slammed Avery's head straight at the hard ground.
''PAHHHH!'' Avery's face was buried inside the ground.
Ichiro stopped grabbing his throat— he took a step backward and waited for Avery to stand up.
Today... Avery won't be humiliating him.
Ichiro will be humiliating him!
