Chapter 196: Stark VS Kokoro and Akira



~BAM, BAM~

Stark teleported behind Akira and Kokoro while they thought that he had died, and punched both of their faces right as they finally noticed his presence.

"-8938!" was what Kokoro received.

"-8123!" and this was Akira's damage.

As said before, when two [Domination] users clashed, their aura would massively protect them, thus reducing the damage they received.

This was one of the reasons Stark was able to withstand some attacks who normally should deal much more damage than normal.

~THUMP, THUMP~

Akira and Kokoro were sent flying backward, both still holding on to their weapons as letting their katana/tablet go out of their hands was instant-death.

And after traveling some distance, they both stopped, getting up almost instantly and staring at Stark, who was looking at them from their previous position.

"Fucking hell..." Akira sighed as he spanned his katana in his hands, ready to cut him in half.

"..." Kokoro didn't say anything, although some blood was dripping from her head as her cheek was visibly bruised.

And right as they were about to attempt to attack Stark...

"AURA SMASH, CRIMSON SPEARS!" before they could even attack, they sensed a powerful aura behind them, and once they turned...

They saw three crimson fists, as well as three spears heading their way, only three meters away from reaching them.

"Can't forget about the other me now, can we?" Stark smiled, and the clone did as well.

The two of them were visibly furious, Kokoro seemed to be of the gentle type, and anyone could almost imagine her talking in an emotionless voice when the messages of the tablet appeared.

But... this time, her expression was full of anger.

"GLITCH BARRIER," a blue and glitchy aura came out of the tablet in her hands, surrounding her completely like some sort of oval shield.

"COSMIC BARRIER," Akira did the same, and as for him, his barrier LITERALLY descended from the sky in a silver glow, its color was purplish/dark, reminiscent of the night sky as some stars could be seen in it.

~BOOM, BOOM, BOOOM~

~FWISH, SLASH~

In a fraction of a second, the white-haired man was already right in front of Stark, his blade aimed at the boy's neck.

Stark easily avoided the attack by backing away though, yet Akira followed him.

~SLASH, SLASH, SLASH~

Using the moon powerhouse that was spinning around him, Akira kept slashing at Stark's decision, who was forced to keep avoiding the attacks to not get cut.

And after a few seconds...

"Crimson Spears..." Stark summoned one single spear above his head, then sent it not a Akira... but... the moon around him.

And while he was too focused on attacking Stark, he avoided the spear, thinking it was aimed to him.

But...

~BAM~

"-74271!"

The powerhouse could actually be hit.

[Moon HP: 925729/1000000]

'Bingo...' Stark thought as avoided another attack and kicked Akira out of his range.

"-1381!" the kick didn't do much, but it served as a way to temporarily allow himself to think before another assault.

All of Akira's power probably came from this moon, but it had so much HP, and it was so small that it would be impossible to destroy it, which is quite understandable as eliminating someone's powers easily would be bad.

In exchange for incredible powers, Akira was forced to put himself at risk by letting his powerhouse constantly spin around him, in the view of the enemies, although most of them never even thought of destroying that though...

But Stark was different: this was a 2v1.5, and so killing Akira's power core would be an almost instant victory in his book.

Stark glanced at his clone afterward, and he saw that it was holding on against Kokoro, who was sending her hologram weapons toward it in a frenzy, with not a single second of rest.

Kokoro vs Fake Stark, and Akira vs Original Stark, who would win this battle? No one really knew...

But one thing was certain: only one team would remain by the end.
