Chapter 3 - CHAPTER 3 ~~~ "A Journey of Agony"

PREVIOUSLY:

Suddenly, Urihami sliced the head of the woman. The blood was pouring down like a fountain, the body of the woman fell slowly. It happened instantly, nobody could react to it.

Urihami was excited at the smell of blood.

Agamuro was shocked, he couldn't even react to it, his body forgot to breathe for a second.

"Ah well mate, you can never escape," Urihami said while licking the blood stains from his sword. 

Urihami dashed with his sword at the speed of light.

Agamuro couldn't even react to the speed. At that moment, he didn't even know the attack was coming. That's how we can conclude he was moving closest to the speed of light.

Suddenly, a man in a white robe protected him right in front of Agamuro's face. Urihami and the white-robed guy were standing still in the air, with the white-robed guy blocking the attack aimed at Agamuro.

Agamuro was stunned; he couldn't even open his mouth. His eyes were flashing with memories of Earth.

"LEAVE HIM ALONE, URIHAMI," said the white-robed guy.

"Why should I listen to you, motherfucker?" Urihami said with laughter.

"YOU DON'T CLEARLY UNDERSTAND WHO YOU ARE TALKING TO," the white-robed guy said in a deep voice.

"Bastard, I don't care about you or where you're from. Just don't interfere in my business. If you still insist on interfering, you shall face the consequences."

"THEN, I SHALL FACE THE CONSEQUENCES," the white-robed guy said with a slight chuckle.

Urihami was not afraid of the white-robed guy; he was unfazed. He calculated that the white-robed guy might be from the Karasmathi community and had come here to help Agamuro. He further calculated: If he was from Karasmathi, why didn't he come when they attacked at the port (the first showdown between Agamuro and Urihami)? He also analyzed that if this guy was from Karasmathi, he would be one of the 12,000 warriors Karasmathi had. Urihami then tried to remember all their names and faces, managing to recall 8,000 of them.

(He calculated all of this while the white-robed guy was speaking.)

"Then bring it on," Urihami said with excitement on his face.

The white-robed guy activated his 2nd stage ARK and summoned an ice-themed sword.

"CONSIDER THIS YOUR LAST MERCY. YOU STILL HAVE TIME TO RESIGN FROM THE FIGHT," the white-robed guy said arrogantly.

"HAH, now you're giving me mercy?"

"RAWWWWW!"

Urihami charged with his sword while performing his 2nd stage ARK. He created a tornado straight above the white-robed guy's head. The white-robed guy swung his sword slowly, and without effort, he destroyed the tornado.

At that moment, Urihami was slightly scared of the white-robed guy.

(Urihami has lived 150 years—50 years on Earth, 100 on Aran. He was not the oldest in the dimension of Aran, as the average age in this dimension is 900. He was considered young in this dimension, but even though he was an example of "the more they live, the more they are aware and fearful of their surroundings.")

Urihami had already calculated an escape route, but he was waiting for the right time. He tried to start a conversation to buy time.

"Oh, you are skilled. What is your name?" Urihami asked casually, while under his casual demeanor, he was creating a way to escape.

"Why worry? You said you don't care about me," the white-robed guy asked casually.

(In this dimension, at a certain time of day, the whole world turns red, and everyone's vision slightly darkens. Most days, this happens at 8 AM and 8 PM.)

Agamuro, watching the fight while on his knees on the ground, couldn't move his legs. His mind was frozen. He turned his head to the right and noticed the clock showing 8 PM.

Suddenly, everything turned red. A thick red fog covered everything. In the center of the city, the clock tower rang. Everyone in the hall couldn't see, but they all heard the bell sound.

The red fog cleared in five minutes.

Agamuro and the white-robed guy were sitting on the ground. All the corpses lay beside them.

The blood of the lady was spread across the floor.

"Who are you, sir? Also, thanks for saving me," Agamuro said innocently.

"NO THANKS, KID. I AM MAHIRU. What's your name, kiddo?"

"Sir, I am AGAMURO. I di... died, and I was teleported here," Agamuro said.

"Also, if you are honest, how and why did you die? Most people believe you are an enemy because many have used this trick to enter their homes and kill them."

"THIS DIMENSION IS NOT LIKE EARTH, KIDDO. HERE, EVERYTHING IS CRUEL. EVERYTHING HATES YOU, EATS YOU, DEVOURS YOU, KILLS YOU, MAKES YOU SUFFER. LIVING PROPERLY HERE IS A JOURNEY...

AND LIVING UNDEFEATED HERE IS A JOURNEY OF AGONY!"
