Chaos and Order - A Multiverse Fanfic

C38: Sling Ring - Massive Increase in Proficiencies!

Kai stepped toward her.

His knees buckled, and he came down, coughing globules of thick blood. He was bleeding internally, and his muscles were like shredded meat, making him wince with every movement.

The saber in his right hand vanished into specks of sparkly dust.

Serpent's God Wrath was the most potent technique in Kai's arsenal. As usual, he was supposed to perform it with two sabers. But he couldn't because of the wounded shoulder. The cost? His left hand.

All the built-up strength which he should have channeled into the saber found no outlet source.

That strength rebounded, crushing his bone from within.

The HP boost he had gained before executing the move didn't mean instant regeneration, letting him heal the wounds caused by Cuckoo's bullets. Not to mention, the use of Forbidden Technique had been eating away his HP way faster than his enhanced HP Regeneration Rate.

Kai looked at the blackened left hand as if it had been mortified ages ago. The only thing that was keeping him sane was the Titan's buff.

Losing sensation in his left hand pained Kai, but not as much as thinking of letting go of the loot from a 4th-floor Contestant.

Kai stood up, pushing the ground. Another step and the masked woman would be within his reach.

Suddenly, a bright, golden glow appeared in his vision.

Kai saw another golden ring carving itself in the space in front of him. The scene on the other side this time was of a lavish room.

Kai's heart thumped.

Forget it! Forget her! Forget everything! Kai's Perception screamed. Whoever was coming out was stronger than Sparrow.

There was no time to waste.

Damn it! My Pokeballs, Kai suddenly remembered. One of the Pokeball, which had struck the golden disc, was near him. He picked it up, his eyes searching for the second one.

There it is! Along with the Pokeball, Kai found the guns' barrels aimed at him.

Cuckoo fired.

Bang! Bang!!

Her aim faltered, though.

Kai struggled to not fall and decided to leave the second Pokeball, though reluctantly.

As he passed by the masked woman, he activated his Misdreavus Blood Essence and absorbed her fear, enhancing his MP and HP Regeneration Rate.

Then, like a snake eying a prey, his bloody eyes lit up.

Kai suddenly crouched, still running, and swept his hand against Sparrow's ring-wearing hand.

The 4th-floor Contestant was already on the verge of death. Seeing Kai robbing her like this made her cough blood on the spot.

Suddenly, two enormous golden discs came flying at him from the another ring in the space, hitting squarely on his back.

Boom!

Kai felt as if a boulder had hit him.

His entire body got thrown out, dragging, rolling over the floor like a pebble. Kai didn't know if he was alive or dead.

His body just lifted itself, and he dashed towards the Tower of Hand without looking back. Any moment now, the Titan's buff could wear off, he knew. Kai would rather be in the sewers when that happens.
