Erioh frowned as he watched the arena below. His experience as a fighter and assassins told him that something wasn't right in this fight. The next was Russell Redgrave after converting the gold the amount was equivalent to ¥5,773,344,924. His mind just couldn't wrap around the fact that a fighter like the young man could have that much money, let alone working with a company on the brink of bankruptcy. Even more no one even knew where the money came as no bank was robbed. So where did he get this much gold and what was his goal in joining this fight? Reputation? Vengance? There had to be some motive for him to be in this tournament.

After some digging, his clan managed to find some clues but not enough they only knew the name 'Russell Redgrave' was a false identity and he existed from the 'inside.' Was he a spy? The Purgatory couldn't have sent him, he was drawing too much attention or was that his plan so they wouldn't suspect them? Still he was a horrible spy, to risk himself to be caught for the sake of his employer... Erioh rubbed his eyes as he got a headache from just thinking about the brat.

Back in the Arena, the crowd were all excited from the next match but were still shaken by the event. Suoh had asked what happened after regaining consciousness and according to Dr. Hanafusa there was an earthquake and she passed out. However while she was grateful for the doctor for healing her friend and looking after her, she knew he was lying and he was making it obvious.

So she went to Kazuo and his fighter Ohma and asked the truth, she wished she hadn't. "How could one person emit such presence..." She muttered in disbelief. Ohma had said it wasn't an earthquake merely an aura of a powerful fighter 'shaking' the building. She couldn't believe it but at the same time she did. If normal people like her was struck by such aura they would collapse on the other hand only fighters with strong willpower were able to stay up.

"I hope nothing bad happens..." She thought.

On another side of the stadium was Russell wearing a black shirt while standing in front of a Vending machine. "So Ru-kun after you finish this fight where will you go?" Blaire asked. The power of the gamer was amazing, she felt she could do anything but at the same time she felt like she was a bit lost.

Russell blinked before chuckling. "Good question, it's funny, you think someone like me having this kind of power would go cruising around... yet I'm still here." He said while giving Blaire a can of drink. "So you have no idea?" Blaire asked.

"Nope... well... it's not like I don't but it's more like there's too many good and bad spots I can choose I just can't pick one." Russell said with a smile. "I'll figure it out... I need to check something, you go ahead." He then took his own drink and walked away.

Blaire blinked before drinking her can, there was no way she mistook that aura when she sensed it. "Ru-kun..." She thought before shaking her head away. Russell hadn't displayed any signs of madness so it still safe to assume that he wasn't a kishin but what could have change his aura like that.

Russell finished drinking his soda can before throwing it away and stopping. "In three, two, one..." He thought before throwing a back kick and felt something collide. His MUI flared and quickly moved his body to a safer position as a fist narrowly missed him.

"Well now I'm not surprised to see you again on such a short notice but you really need something to keep that killing intent from exposing you." Russell joked while looking at Yujiro who was grinning.

"Show it to me boy. Your Niko style." Yujiro ordered while getting into his signature stance. He was done waiting, the boy was too interesting to ignore now. "Oh... shit." Russell thought as he gets to his fighting style. Both began to emit their aura as the two watched each other carefully. Russell already used Observe Thousand Imagery to get the man's rhythm and had come up with strategies.

Yujiro had no problems when his opponent is using their full potential. So far Russell's victories only counted whenever he used any of his Devil and Soul arms but he didn't want to kill Yujiro, not yet at least according to his Observe Thousand Imagery.

Making up his mind he quickly readies for hist fastest move while Yujiro having caught on to his plan and lowered his arms and began to walk slowly. As soon as Yujiro went to fifth step Russell then throws three jabs which Yujiro narrowly dodged but upon closer inspection there were three small bruises on his body. His face, arm and chest.

The ogre laughed in joy but filled with malice. "You've really grown up since I last saw you." He said his grin nearly splitting his head into two. "Now this is a fight. Punch, Grab, Slam, Kick Grapple, Slash, Catch. A formless fighting style that encompasses all techniques." He then approached once more. "However your Niko style is still flawed." Yujiro said as he dodges his spawn's fist while laying down on the ground.

Russell blinked when he recognized this move, the move which Yujiro used to counter Muhammad Ali Sr. Acting quickly he steps back right before Yujiro could grab him and did one thing no fighter would ever dare do to the king. Turn his back and walked away.

Yujiro for the first time blinked as no had ever dared to turn their back on him. "WHAT ARE YOU DOING!?" He roared in anger. His spawn turned and gave a cheeky grin. "Well there's only one rule in the fight. The one who is laying the ground is loser while the one standing is the winner, so I'm taking this as a win and since your the one on the ground. So Ciao." Russell said before leaving.

For the first time Yujiro felt so much rage inside himand got up before chasing after him. However the boy was gone as soon as he turned a corner. Yujiro growled and held himself back before letting out a sigh. The brat would pay dearly for that act as no Hanma would ever turn his back on a fighter. For now he had a match and someone unlucky to vent his anger on.

Russell who had just arrived to the seats was sweating bullets. "Holy shit! I just did that! I can't believe I just did that." He thought in horror. If he wants to live this fight then he better recreate the Hokuto shinken Style or at least make something similar with his Ki Manupulation. Speaking of which his recently unlocked skill, did it follow dragon ball Ki mechanics, Street Fighter mechanics or something else entirely?

"Status." Russell thought as the screen emerged.

Did he read that ? What's with the sudden increase? Spotting that his message screen was had 1 on it, he quickly checks it. Turns out the usage of his Limitless Demon, Anomaly and the fight with Raian was gave the sudden jump. With Limitless Demon being active his skill Anomaly was learning overdrive on how to adapt to the strain it was causing to his body. The fight with Raian was also a bonus as he was forced to make knew tactics on the fly and gave him additional boosts to his stat.

"Skill Set." He thought.

Russell sighed before dismissing the screen when he noticed Suoh and Blaire approaching him. "Hey Mihono are you okay?" He asked. "I'm fine but what about you?" Suoh asked still doubting Russell's recovery. "I'm in peak condition. So need to worry, see?" Russell then begins to shadowbox while performing lightning speed punches before stopping.

"Okay I believe you." Suoh said. "Anyway who do you think is going to win?" She asked. Russell blinked and looked at the match. "Yujiro..." He said plainly as if it was natural. Suoh blinked before Russell went to explain Yujiro's feats which surprised Suoh just how much secret was being hidden by the government. "Anyway I'm going out to train some more."

Suoh was confused as her fighter left. "Aren't you going to watch?" She asked. "I have to get stronger before the next match." Russell said before finally leaving the arena. Suoh sighed and began to think about her fighter, she was still worried about the drawbacks of the techniques. Blaire seemed to catch on to what she was thinking.

"You don't have to worry about him, his fine now." Blaire said. "I know it's just he's pushing himself too hard." Suoh said. "Su-chan you need to relax, nothing bad is gonna happen to your crush." The magical cat said before looking at the fight. Both were unaware of a spectral figure watching the fight.

Meanwhile Russell was meditating while his hand cupped a ball of light. He had no idea on what he was doing but decided to use his pass lessons as a reference for control. Finally he opens his eyes and looked at it in joy. Pointing the ball he fires it on a tree. "HADOUKEN!" He yelled in childish glee while watching ball of energy blasting right through several trees before vanishing. Summoning three more Ki balls he quickly changes it's shape into swords."Oh hell yeah!" He said before shooting the ki blades into the sky before it explodes.

"Next flying and then Ki enhancements." He thought before practicing once more. "Let's see... imagine iron man's repulsors and jets..." It wasn't the best but he only needed some sort of image when pushing his ki down.

A few hours later of crashing he was able to control it, then when it came to Ki enhancement which for him was easiest part he was getting great time with it. Eternal Arms which is the maximum evolution of Mastery of Arms was the skill that allowed him full mastery of any form of weapons regardless of them being material, spiritual, divine or demonic even if they were so advance for a human, so long as it can be used as a weapon. Considering Ki can be a weapon using it was lot easier if it involved weapons or attacks. Hearing some twigs he turns only to find some men carrying various fire arms walking. Wait wasn't there supposed to be a coup d'etat?

"Well time for a test run." Russell said before using Vanisher and went after them while he began to Observe.

"C'mon get those ass moving the boss wants us to distract the guards while the fight is still on." The leader said while moving through the unstable terrains. His men nodded and began to walk faster but still careful.

Russell was standing on branch while looking at the scene. He could kill all of them now and be done with it but he had no idea on who else was on the island except of the guardians that was around the island. Still he still should keep an eye on Hayami Katsumasa, the guy was going to blow up the stadium.

Summoning another specter Russell immediately orders it to spy on Hayami the fight while he dealt with the intruders. "Time to get to work." He muttered before dropping down on his first victim and immediately breaks his jaw before using Tricks and appearing behind the next target before ramming his index finger to his back before using Vanisher and stepped back to enjoy the show.

"What the hell is wrong with you?" One of them asked while the leader slowly approached them. His first victim groaned as his body began to twist in turn. " Boss I don't feel so gooo-" The second couldn't finish what he was about to say as his body began inflate like a balloon before the explodes while some of his bones acted as shrapnel.

"So infusing ki to the body of my opponents causes a chain reaction depending which pressure point is struck. I just have to make sure it doesn't backfires. I wonder if I can use it to heal too." Russell thought watching However Russell quickly appears to his next victim and immediately tackles him into the shadows while letting everyone else see a glimpse of him before flying away with his prey.

"What the hell is going on here boss!?" One of them demanded as his face was filled with sweat. "I don-" Before the boss could answer they heard screams of pain and pleas followed by the sound of flesh tearing and bones being broken.

When it stopped everyone jumped when something was dropped in front of them. "Oh god..." One of them said recognizing that this was the one that got dragged away. Except now he lacked limbs and most of his body look like an animal had just made a meal out of him. "Everyone group up and watch your flanks, keep your eyes peeled that thing is around here." The leader yelled. What was left of the team grouped together while their guns where pointed at anything covered by the shadows.

One of them spotted something was coming out of the dark. "Guys!" He called everyone. "I think I saw something." He said. The rest turned and saw something bright coming at them, their instincts flared as they immediately moved out of it's way however one of them wasn't fast enough and had half of his body struck by the purple flame. The group watch as the man screamed in agony before finally collapsing as the flames went out leaving a smoking skeleton.

"Screw this, OPEN FIRE!" The leader ordered and fired his rifle with the rest doing the same. Russell began to redirect the bullets for a few moments before dodging and using his surroundings for cover. Before using his Ki blades to fire in a rapid pace, the target could only look in horror as purple blades with a hint of blue began to hit his body. Turning him into a pincushion. Another lost his legs before having his neck broken and his companion was dragged by a purple chain before being pulled only his screams echoed.

"Capt! we need to leave, were sitting ducks here." One of them yelled before having his head blown to smithereens. The leader growled before yelling orders. "Everyone move!" He yelled as they all began to ran away.

"Oh no you don't." Russell said as activates Limitless before chasing after them and began to kill them one by one with his Ki enhanced Niko style while making sure none of his targets could see him completely. Once in a while he would turn one of his kills into a humanoid bomb making them horrified at the sight and made an extra effort of running. When the leader tripped the last guy, Russell decided to spare him when he saw he just a teen. It was hilarious when the kid started preaching about becoming a priest when he passed by.

By the time the leader was able to get out, he was on a cliff. "What the hell was that?" He muttered and began to think of a way to get out of the island. His instincts began to flare as massive amounts killing intent began to press down on him. Turning back to the direction he came, he then points his rifle towards him. "Come on you son of a-" He yelled before his eyes widened and saw his rifle was missing. As soon as he realized his mistake Russell was already in front of him. He had no time scream as Russell covered his mouth before knocking the man out.

After tying the man up with some improvised rope, Russell began to stretch. "Okay back to training." Russell muttered as he jogged away from the scene before entering the Dungeon.

Back in the stadium Katahara watched as Wakatsuki Takeshi; the Wild Tiger went against the Ogre himself.

His phone rang a few times before he answered. "Oh Retsudo-kun is there something wrong?" He said before his eyes narrowed something that Nogi picked up. "I will be right there." Metsudo said before looking at Nogi. "Apologies Nogi-kun but it I'm needed elsewhere."

Nogi gave an understanding nod before watching the old man leave. "Whatever it was it must be dangerous if the old man became serious." He said and began to plan in case anything bad happen and mostly to prioritize Kazuo's safety.

When Katahara arrived at a hidden room with his son and his men standing guard while Erioh, Dr. Hanafusa and Dazai Yukio were studying the corpses. "What happened?" Metsudo asked. "We have no idea, one of my men were just patrolling when they heard gunshots and screams. "But when they got here..." Retsudo then looked at the corpses. "This is what they saw."

Metsudo frowned, was this connected to that aura from before? Or was this something else. Too many things were happening at once. "What have you gathered so far?" He asked completely curious. "Well for one thing we checked for any signs of explosives being used but there isn't one." Hanafusa said in a defeated tone, after checking multiple times he was sure this men weren't killed by a bomb.

"Though whoever our friend is it seems his using a similar method of my Lingshu Chin Na." He said. "Pressure points..." Erioh muttered when he spotted certain areas of the bodies had a hole. "Still I never heard of such fighting style..." Yukio muttered. "Using the pressure point to clot up the blood vessels and force the body to explode, this stuff only exist in fantasy." He said still not believing such martial art exist.

"Yet here it is, someone literally made one's fantasy into a reality." Hanafusa said. "However the problem remains we don't know who did this." Erioh said frowning still his mind thought one single individual; Russell. "Did he do this?" If so then the brat was more dangerous than he thought but based from the previous fight Russell didn't display any signs of aiming for a pressure point. Was the young man holding back? Perhaps but Russell's ability to copy fighting styles made him doubt the idea of it, he could have copied Hanafusa's fighting style and made his own version.

"The camera only picked up this." Retsudo said before showing them the slaughter. Each time of the men was killed there was a blur. "We tried slowing it down but we only got this." Retsudo then began to slow video before stopping. Everyone blinked and wondered if they had digested something to make them high. The figure was a man they never seen before, wearing a dark hoodie with blue jeans. The hood itself covered his entire face.

"So our new friend is either insane or very cautious." Metsudo chuckles as he looked at the screen. "Something's not right." Erioh, Hanafusa and Yokio thought. Everything about the image seemed wrong like there was some puzzle missing or overlapping that it was giving them a different image. "We also found this guy out cold." He said while showing them the leader strapped on a chair and a picture when they found him.

Metsudo laughed at the picture as he saw the humiliating sight, the man was in before he was found while the rest remained stoic.

Once the old man got his laughter controlled, he then coughed. "Retsudo do everything to make this man talk and find this mysterious friend of ours." Metsudo ordered while his son nodded while he was worried about this new comer he was also excited. To think in his old age something like this would come, he wanted to know if this man was an ally or not while the mystery of the unknown excites him.

Meanwhile Hayami Katsumasa was worried about someone noticing his coup. After receiving report on one of his teams that was suppose to distract the guards had been slaughtered he was furious however it seems there was a silver lining on this as the rest of the audience weren't in panic minus the previous event, everything was normal as it could be. "Well what now boss?" One of his guardians said.

"We will continue the operation however make sure that the next team is informed of what happened. Also send a search team and kill this man but be discreet." Katsumasa said. He had gone too far to stop now, this was nothing but minor inconvenience to him.

Soon he would have his own Kengan rebuilt from the ashes his friend once had built.

Meanwhile Russell was punching an Aggressor with his Limitless Demon active. It was good he brought that jacket he bought from a cosplay event and used it to hide his face from the camera but still he needed to be careful from now on.

"I still need to figure out how to control this damn thing if I want use it." He said, the technique was almost impossible to combine completely since the requirements between Limitless and Demon back would always clash. One was about remaining calm and collected while the other was about being simply wild and extremely violent.

As if sensing his desire the Dungeon began to act as Russell felt himself being slowly split into two. The sensation wasn't painful but it was weird, when the process was done he was now looking at himself except this one was different from him.

His half had a more muscular built, more buffer with veins being visible all over the body. Another was this half had his lower canines out like a tusk, his pupils weren't there, his pants was torn and his shirt was gone, and his hair is spiked upwards with a reddish tint. He also constantly emits a dark red aura. Most of all the heart and the veins were glowing yellow. The weapons were dark red as well emitting a huge amount of blood lust.

Russell frowned before his eyes widened when it disappeared but his instincts flared constantly before catching a karate chop from his half. The force was enough to make the ground crack and soon it became a crater. Russell grunted as the arm he was holding was becoming heavier with a roar he pushes it out of the way. Despite him having to stop it completely the sector was split apart.

"You know they say imitation is the greatest form of flattery but it's also a big slap to the face. I just didn't realize how big it was." He said in a joking manner while looking at the damage. His half merely looked at him as it readies it self for another attack. "What no monologues or chit chat? Just getting straight to the point huh?" Russell said before summoning his weapons and item. "Okay then me, let's see what you got." Russell said before using Tricks to teleport and swing his sword down however his half blocks it with it's own sword.

The two began attacking each other in a contest of speed and strength but where completely even. Russell began to use Ki constructs in conjunction of his attacks getting a few slashes here and there. Seeing an opening, the clone kicked his head making him take a step back.

Russell grunted before punching his clone with his Adamantium Kata making the ground crack before receiving an uppercut. However Russell powered through and elbows his clone before deflecting it's sword and delivering a powerful jab. The clone then used Jet stream Kata and immediately kicks him in the mid section.

The two exchanged blows faster and faster until they broke the sound barrier both leaving after images and small shockwaves. His clone gets the upperhand with a hook punch and quickly slices him a few times before stabbing his gut and then throws some punches and finally a kick as It pulls out It's sword before shooting off a beam of energy.

Russell acted quickly and teleports out of it's way before appearing in front of it and delivers a strong punch and two kicks before sending a barrage of slices. His clone throws a surprise counter but Russell stops mid swing letting it pass him before summoning a juggernaut to above his opponent sending it crashing to the ground before teleporting in front it and deliver an uppercut with Great Ouroboros. The clone was sent flying before stopping itself and quickly using Tricks as Russell nearly bisects him before grabbing him by the head and sends electricity to his entire body.

When satisfied It throws the original away before diving towards him and shoots it's own Jackal and Warden before kicking him with Ki ball attached to his body. As soon as Russell hit the ground the ball explodes creating a giant mushroom cloud. "I'm so gonna feel that one tomorrow." He muttered while getting up before seeing his clone getting into a very familiar stance. A stance that all kids and otakus did since the dawn of it's creation.

"Oh come on... that not fair I haven't even done that yet." Russell said before dodging out of the way when he saw it throw a Kamehameha right at him. Throwing three energy blades towards his clone followed by a hail of bullets, Russell then fires his own Kamehameha before using Tricks.

The clone dodged the three blades and deflects the bullets while barely dodging the Kamehameha before taken surprise by the original appearing in front of it before it's hand which held it's sword was grabbed. "Try this one for size." Russell said with his sword glowing as the Kamehameha changed direction and went back towards the sword.

As soon as the beam touched the tip of his sword Russell swings his blade and released a purplish Kamehame blade energy. The clone felt it's arm being chopped off while being sent to the ground by the energy.

As Russell landed slowly to the ground he felt something strange going on turning to the source he saw that it was the arm of his half fading into red embers before entering his body. Russell felt himself getting stronger as the feeling of his two techniques clashing seemed to cease for a minute.

He smirked before returning his attention back to his clone who was getting up. Using Flashbang Kata, Russell charges towards It and began to cut it apart, each piece slowly entering his body. His swings were fast and calculated while brutal at the same time.

When the last of It was absorbed into his body, Russell felt himself not that different except that his two buffer techniques had stopped trying to fight each other. Sensing several mobs spawning once more Russell. "Alright boys let's start the party so I can start practicing." He said before rushing towards his opponents.
