Translator: imperfectluck Editor: Kurisu
Zankita slowly stopped his own fantasies and looked at his cell phone. Only several seconds later did he finally pick up the call.
"Yo. It's .
"Yeah, I'm currently here.
"What do you want to discuss?"
That was Zankita's half of the conversation. Sothing flashed in his eyes as he listened to Hisashi's words. However, his face remained expressionless.
Zankita slowly put down his cell phone after the conversation ended.
He once again focused on the fireball before him before waving his hand and causing it to vanish.
After Seiji and Hisashi reached the Juumonji Group residence, they split up, with Seiji heading towards the dojo.
Although Hisashi said it was alright for him to listen in to their conversation if he wanted, Seiji felt that he shouldn't intrude in their family affairs too much.
It would be best if Hisashi was able to convince Zankita with words alone, without having things co to a fight.
Seiji was quite curious as well just what exactly happened to Zankita.
Did Zankita really go to a Spirit World? Would there be any differences for the Awakened and Spiritual Ability users in a Spirit World? Hisashi's idea of a hypothetical group of people that might have contacted Zankita… did they really exist? And if they did, who were they, and what was their goal?
Seiji patiently waited in the dojo.
A few minutes later, he heard the sound of footsteps.
A red-haired man slowly walked into the dojo… by himself.
Seiji exchanged glances with him.
"Where's Hisashi?"
"He's unconscious."
"Did you do that to him?"
"That's right."
Seiji furrowed his eyebrows.
"I didn't think you were the type of person who'd hit his own brother."
"I thought the sa of myself just a few minutes ago."
Zankita smiled widely.
His smile had sothing indescribable about it… sothing negative and dark.
"But actually, when I really hit him, I found out that it wasn't much of a big deal at all. So what if he's my little brother? Even if he's my family, if he makes displeased… I'll act on my displeasure." A dark look entered Zankita's eyes. "Why should I be restrained by such things? My younger brother… my father… the Juumonji Group… all these things used to be really important to , but that was all just a mistaken impression I had due to my own weakness. Now, I'm soone strong, far beyond their level… why should I still care about them and allow them to hold back? No… I don't need such things… I don't need to be like how I was before. I shouldn't have to be like before!"
Zankita reached out his hand and summoned a blue fla that illuminated his face which was becoming distorted.
"I'm soone powerful, soone special! I should be… free!"
His fla instantly burned even fiercer than earlier.
Seiji slowly stood up as he looked at Zankita.
"You want to be free…? What cos after that? What do you want the freedom to do?"
"Does it even need saying? Of course, to beco stronger!"
"Why do you want to beco stronger?"
"As long as I'm strong, I can do anything I want!" Zankita shouted loudly. "Strength is everything!!"
Seiji was rendered speechless.
He really wanted to make a comnt here, but there was so much to comnt on that he didn't even know where to start.
Just as he was thinking about how to retort, he saw Zankita suddenly waving his hand, causing the flas on his hand to transform into a fireball which shot in Seiji's direction!
Seiji dodged the fireball which crashed into the ground and exploded with a loud boom.
"I lost twice to you before. This ti… I'll definitely win!"
Zankita's entire body erupted with blue flas as he rushed over and punched at Seiji.
Seiji dodged the first few of Zankita's punches and attacks. Seiji then stepped forward and landed a strong punch upon Zankita's stomach area!
It felt as if he had punched a steel board.
Also, the flas on Zankita's body attacked him at the sa ti as he managed to land the punch. If it wasn't for the fact that Seiji cast [Mana Barrier] on himself beforehand, he would have definitely been injured with burns.
Zankita who was wreathed in blue flas rely backed up two steps from receiving Seiji's heavy punch before continuing to attack Seiji again!
Zankita had indeed beco much stronger.
Seiji remained calm during the fight. He aid for Zankita's unguarded areas and managed to strike him with a Mana-infused punching technique.
Zankita roared and gathered two fireballs, one in each hand, tossing them at Seiji!
*Whoosh!* *Whoosh!*
Seiji dodged both fireballs, but he was unable to dodge Zankita's kick that ca together with the fireballs, and took a vicious direct hit.
*Boom!* Blue flas exploded.
Although Seiji jumped backwards the mont he was kicked to mitigate the impact, he was still kicked backwards by an explosive force that sent him flying across half the dojo field and crashing into the wall.
Zankita stomped, causing fire to spark underneath his feet, and rushed at Seiji with an astonishing speed like a rocket's. In just an instant, he covered the distance of half a dojo field to punch towards Seiji's chest!
*Boom!!!*
Seiji was able to dodge this punch in ti. This viciously heavy punch struck the wall instead, causing fierce flas to explode and create a large cone-shaped hole.
Every mafia mber in the residence heard this commotion.
The unconscious Hisashi was woken up by the noise as well.
He did his best to withstand the pain in his throbbing head while ordering all the mafia grunts not to approach the dojo and for anyone nearby to imdiately get away from the vicinity!
anwhile, inside the dojo…
Another fireball ca flying towards Seiji.
Seiji once again dodged all the fireballs and sent a [Mana Bullet] towards Zankita who was wreathed in flas while trying to attack him!
*Boom!* Zankita took a direct hit and was knocked over.
Seiji suddenly jumped upwards, stepped upside-down on the ceiling, and used the reactive force to help him launch a powerful stomping attack!
*Boom!*
…Zankita dodged this attack.
When Zankita backflipped and got up, he once again gathered his power in his hands, then suddenly opened his hands wide and released a trendous amount of blue flas!
Seiji speedily backed up, then suddenly realized that this seed exactly like the ultimate attack of one of the main characters from the King of Fighters franchise?
He recalled that the character was nad Kyo Kusanagi or sothing like that…
Zankita clenched his fists tightly, causing them to glow blue with fire, then rushed and punched at Seiji, creating a large explosive fla with his punch at the sa ti!
Seiji found his attack difficult to block and continued to retreat.
When Seiji was continually forced to retreat and found himself in a corner of the dojo with nowhere left to retreat to, he suddenly realized that things were bad.
As expected, Zankita who was literally on fire once again clasped his hands, gathered the power of his flas, and released…
*Roar!* A trendous amount of flas that resembled a beast's gaping maw swallowed Seiji whole!!
'I've won!!' Zankita was shouting in his mind.
However, before he could enjoy the taste of victory, he saw a golden flash and a fist approaching his face…
*Smack!!*
Seiji had cast [Evolved Body-strengthening technique] on himself in ti and transford into his golden form to send Zankita flying away with a single punch in counterattack.
'Round 2… fight!
'Even if you are Kyo Kusanagi, I'm a Super Saiyan, so I shall defeat you!'
Seiji kept up a stream of ntal comnts while chasing after Zankita to keep up the attack.
Zankita originally thought that he had won, but suddenly found himself at a disadvantage instead… he was quite angered by this.
He did his very best, but his golden and shiny opponent was simply better than him, and was now forcefully suppressing him.
'Why… I'm so strong already, so why is it that I still can't defeat this guy!?'
Zankita wanted to furiously counterattack. However, Seiji's succession of powerful punches completely broke through his fla defense and gave him a vicious beatdown.
Zankita's consciousness beca hazy.
The last thing that he saw was the sight of the shiny golden teenager calmly observing him.
Anger, unwillingness, and hatred… Zankita sunk into a darkness while possessing such extrely negative emotions.
'I want more… more power…'
His consciousness sunk even deeper and deeper into the darkness.
"Hmm?"
Seiji watched Zankita collapse while being under the impression that the flas on Zankita's body would naturally be extinguished. However, he saw that Zankita's blue flas were gradually becoming black in color.
"What's going on?" Seiji had an ominous premonition.
He was fairly confident that he had knocked Zankita unconscious… should he give him another blow just in case?
Seiji speedily ca to a decision and controlled his strength so that he wouldn't severely injure Zankita while stomping on him one more ti.
However, the flas were still becoming darker and darker.
The rate of blackening was increasing as well. The black flas were beginning to gather and take form!
Seiji frowned as he observed the situation.
In just a short period of ti, the blue man on fire beca sothing else entirely.
He beca sothing black and abnormal… with such a strange appearance that it was difficult to describe.
"Even if this is sothing akin to an evil transformation… isn't this a little too dark?"
