Kogetsu traverses the first Layer with the monstrous Crimson Oblivion tailing him
'This is bad at this speed it's going to catch up to me'
'Do Increase my speed but what if an unaccounted variable occurs'
While thinking this the Crimson Oblivion screatchs as it sends dozens of it's erasure beams
'Crap'
Kogetsu applies downgrade to himself once more increasing his speed as he evades all the beams
The Crimson Oblivion begins accelerating as well
Kogetsu increases his speed once more when he received a system prompt
[System prompt]
[Notice the individual Kogetsu has achieved speed grade 1]
[This speed grade only applies once your capable of tearing through dimensions with your speed]
'Simplify explanation'
[System prompt]
[Speed grade 1 is achieved once you've reached the threshold hold if light speed]
Kogetsu suddenly tore into the second layer of reailty
With the Crimson Oblivion following suit
'Damn it i have to focus on losing this thing first'
'Downgrade'
Kogetsu collapses space once more as he enters reailty once more
Immediately he turns around and glares at the Crimson Oblivion
"Downgrade max output"
Kogetsu felt the strange force again as the symbol on his head glows red
Kogetsu manages to open a new layer in dimensions infront of the beast as it flies in
Kogetsu suddenly hits a massive tree as Kirasia's voice is heard
"Upgrade!"
The rifts in reailty close immediately as Kogetsu receives a system message
[System prompt]
[Congratulations Kogetsu you are the first to player in the history or Axior to open a rift to deep space]
'Shut it system]
The system message vanishes as Kogetsu clutches the tree bark before exerting force launching himself to the top of the tree
"Upgrade"
Kogetsu loses safe fully before collapsing on the leaves with Kirasia already laying on the leaves
'I know I've running from that thing for like a week in the first layer but I shouldn't be this tired and weak'
Kogetsu looks at Kirasia her symbol glowing red as well
Kogetsu stares at it for a moment before glancing at his vibrating left hand
'Don't tell me'
"Kirasia lets hold hands again"
"Hell no I'd rather get eaten"
"Stop being a...tsundere"
Kogetsu felt himself get weaker his vision begin to blur
"Kirasia I just want to test my theory"
"Hell no"
"Why not?"
"I don't want your theory to be correct"
Kogetsu grunts
"It's either that or we get eaten...failing...the trial and making Milin...heartbroken"
"You don't...want that...right?"
The two pant when Kirasia said abruptly
"Fuck yourself"
Kirasia interlocks fingers with Kogetsu immediately the two's expressions changed as the symbols on there heads changed to a green yellow glow
"I knew it"
"I hate you"
Kirasia remarks
"You really are stubborn huh?"
Kirasia suddenly clenches her fist as she hits Kogetsu straight in the face when she suddenly felt the pain on her face as well
Kirasia yelps in pain as Kogetsu heals himself
"Well ot looks like after we used Reconfiguration it activated a condition of some sorts"
"Which would mean if we separate we'll gradually lose energy eventually becoming sitting ducks"
Kogetsu remarks
Kirasia sulks mumbling to herself
"You can't be this shy it's not like you hate me either"
Kirasia begins crushing Kogetsu as she grits her teeth
she stops as Kogetsu heels himself
"I hate you but fate seems to always put me together with you"
"Why can't I just be with my lover"
Kogetsu tilts his head
"And who would that be?"
Kirasia glares at him when he punched him in the face again
"Can you stop hitting me damn sissy!"
"I am not a sisy!"
The two clash fist flinching from the pain
The two immediately stop as they just jump off the tree not speaking to each other
"Downgrade"
Kogetsu cancels there momentum
"Upgrade"
Instantly the two were enveloped in upgrade energy as they begin running through the forest under the scarlet moons light
At the Alchemist Tower
It was day time when Tinrian leisurely sat atop the main Alchemist Tower tower when a little boy with red hair and a dark body casually strided towards the tower
Tinrians glowed a dark blue as he sees Jagik smiling with his eyes closed casually walking towards the main doors but his walking became skipping
A second later he began jogging when another second pass he went intoba full spring launching himself towards Tinrian
Tinrian calmly get up as he leaps towards jagik meeting him mid air with fist as the two clash
"Hey TinTin it's been awhile"
Dark blue and red energy pulsed through the area as the two jumped back
Landing on the floor Tinrian glares at Jagik
"What the hell do you want you damn rat"
Jagik playfully pokes his right cheek tilting his head
"Oh come is that how you really greet an old friend"
"Where's the hospitality?"
"Says the same person that killed my Fater and tried to release Hexter because you were bored"
Jagik smiles knowingly
"Well i was bored and me and Hexter go way back"
Suddenly the tower formed a fist from the marble wall attempting to crush Jagik
Jagik casually blocks it with his hand as the angered Hexter shouted
"Jagik you backstabbing bastard!"
"Oh hey hexter how's being a building turning out for you?"
Jagik casually does a reversed axe kick that destroys the building made fist
Jagik lunges towards Tinrian as he conjures a sword made if his energy
The grey bandages around Tinrian unwrapped as he forms a sword and begins clashing with him
Within the dome area Milin is seen completely focused on keeping the trial stable
'It's only been about 3 hours since the trial started'
'I wonder if those two are okay?'
Suddenly the dome shakes as Milin
'Is someone attacking'
'Whatever Tinrian can handle it'
She thought
Tinrian pushes jagik away as he clenches his fist jagik is wrapped in grey bandages when Tinrian began throwing jagik around destroying some of the towers before throwing the bandaged jagik into sky
Tinrians eyes glow red
"Crimson tomb"
The bandages around jagik glow red as they constrict
The sound if bones being crushed echoed until black blood splattered everyone
[System prompt]
[Tinrian you have slain an abyssal corruption]
[Jagik the Forgotten corruption]
Tinrian scoffs
"Come back already I know your not dead"
Suddenly all the splattered blood began converging to one point when jagik formed back
[System prompt]
[Kill has been canceled]
Jagik claps enthusiasticly
"Congrats little TinTin this is the third time you actually killed me"
"Anyways see you later"
Joagik vanishes into red code as Tinrian stares at the last spot Jagik once was as he sighs and enters the actively reconstructing building
