Kevin changed the layout once again, causing them to return to the Coliseum. But unlike last time when there were several cracks and craters around the arena, this time around, the cracks had been repaired and the arena was looking as good as new.
Kevin tossed Brian Stark's exhausted body to the ground and he began to cough out water from his mouth and nostrils right after his back slammed into the hard floor of the arena.
But just before he could get a good glimpse of his surroundings, a huge colossal foot stomped him into the ground, making the earth tremble with heavy impact the colossal giant feet made to the ground.
The giant repeatedly continued to stomp on him for several minutes, and as time went by, more warning notifications popped up in front of Kevin.
[Warning!! You're running out of MP.]
[Warning!! You're running out of MP.]
He purchased another Mana Regeneration Potion before gulping it down. It was his fifth potion, yet his MP kept depleting even faster than when he scared the s.h.i.t out of all those gang members a few days ago.
But aside from his MP depleting swiftly, Kevin was feeling both physically and mentally fatigued and thus he was too tired to maintain his Cubic dimension.
This was because he had previously fought in the cage against the NILs before fighting against Brian Stark in his dimension for over an hour now.
When Kevin noticed that he was approaching his limit, he ordered the giant to stop what it was doing.
Kevin then slowly staggered towards the huge hole that had been made in the center of the arena to see Brian Stark's tiny body at the center of the huge hole.
Kevin leaped down to get a good glimpse of his body to confirm if he was dead or not.
Luckily Brian Stark was still breathing, but it looked like he could have even taken his last breath any moment from now.
Seeing how he wasn't dead yet, Kevin was pleased and amazed at how Brian Stark was able to survive what the giant did to him.
As he became lost in thought for a fleeting moment, Kevin noticed Brian Stark muttering some words to himself.
Kevin then hunkered down to listen to what he was saying.
"P-please, kill me, please, kill me."
It appeared the pain and suffering Kevin inflicted on him might have gotten past his tolerance level and Brian Stark was unable to withstand it anymore.
He just wanted to be put out of his misery.
But Kevin wasn't going to do that just yet.
He deactivated his skill and they both returned to the room where they had their drinks before their battle commenced.
Kevin took a seat and grabbed a phone before making a call. A few seconds later, the door to the room he was in was knocked on three times and Kevin responded.
"Come in."
Right after he gave the command, one of Brian Stark's men entered the room and noticed Kevin's exhausted state.
Kevin had known that his battle with Brian Stark was going to be his toughest yet, but he never thought that it would be so exhausting.
Right after the guard scanned Kevin's physical state, he then shifted his gaze towards Brian Stark whose limp body was now unconscious and had been placed on the glass table.
After taking in the sight the guard was taken aback and he hurriedly took three steps towards Kevin.
"Boss, you really defeated the King?"
That's right, It was Wolfgang who entered the room. He whispered his words towards Kevin, feeling scared that his voice might wake Brian Stark, but Kevin reassured him that there was nothing for him to be afraid of.
"Don't worry. He can't do anything in the current state he is in right now."
Wolfgang nodded at the words of his boss before removing the mask he was wearing and handing it back to Kevin.
This was part of their plan for both of them to sneak into the enemy's hideout undetected.
When Brian Stark sent spies to monitor the movement of the Boogeyman, everyone in the Boogeyman's gang had noticed who the traitors among them were, but no one acted suspicious so that the spies wouldn't be wary of them.
Instead, they carried on with their daily activities but were always cautious whenever the spies were nearby.
Kevin needed the spies to send a few messages to Brian Stark as he misled them into thinking that everything they were doing was going according to plan.
But it wasn't.
It had always been going according to Kevin's plan. This was why the spies went missing and were presumed to be dead after they successfully delivered their message to Brian Stark.
Kevin then found a way to hide all his gang members while patiently waiting for the ambush Brian Stark's men arranged against him.
However, while he was being captured, Wolfgang used the face mask he received from Kevin and infiltrated Brian Stark's hideout as one of his men without anyone noticing or suspecting that they were welcoming their enemy into their hideout.
"We're leaving," Kevin informed Wolfgang and he responded with a nod.
Kevin wore the mask and his face and body structure turned into that of Brian Stark. As he slowly walked out of the room he activated his Cubic Fabricated Reality skill over Wolfgang who was trailing behind him with an unconscious Brian Stark placed over his shoulders.
This way no one could see Wolfgang, but they could only see Kevin.
Kevin and Wolfgang walked out confidently until they left the building and entered their car without anyone noticing who they really were or the fact that the real Brian Stark was being carried out unconscious.
Kevin could have decided to wait behind and fight all of Brian Stark's men but he had other things to do.
And besides, he was certain that he would still need these men later on.
For now, he needed them alive and he needed them to believe that Brian Stark was still alive.
Well, technically, he still was, but only for a limited amount of time.
