Martial Arts System
chapter-247

''ARGH!'' Lucius was pushed backward with his arm trembling in pain. He was holding pair of daggers, but Ichiro's sword strikes almost broke them!

Ichiro looked at the swords and shrugged, ''I really need to improve these.''

Lucius grabbed the daggers tighter and pointed them at Ichiro, ''I am warning you, this is a mistake.''

''I highly doubt it.'' Ichiro yawned and continued, ''I am an unreasonable man after all.''

Lucius clicked his tongue and took an item from his pocket.

''Hmm?'' Ichiro frowned and looked at the item. It was a small bottle-like item, but Ichiro's eyes quickly widened.

Lucius threw the item on the ground, and it instantly exploded. A thick cloud of smoke appeared around Lucius, which made seeing his figure impossible.

''Trying to run away? Not possible!'' Ichiro shouted and entered the cloud of smoke.

He couldn't see anything, but he swung the sword in front of him, and he felt his sword hitting something.

''ARGH!'' Lucius' scream was heard, but his cry of pain was becoming more distinct by each passing moment.

''Tsk.'' Ichiro clicked his tongue and left the cloud of smoke. There was a tinge of blood on his blade.

''I managed to scratch him...'' He put the swords back on the sheaths and started running in the corridors, 'Lucius won't be fighting for Power Limit Remover for now... This makes things easier.'

...

''Fuck!'' Lucius groaned in pain after managing to escape. He was currently hiding in a cleaning closet with his leg heavily bleeding.

He looked around the shelves and luckily managed to find paper. He put pressure on his bleeding wound and used the life-saving techniques he had learned from Rijun.

Soon, the bleeding stopped, but the pain was more than obvious.

''Argh...'' Lucius wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and hatefully looked at the camera.

His hate is burning strong. He hates every VIP and every Rankless Emperor and Monarch who was watching.

But he also hates Ichiro for injuring him.

His eyes were slowly becoming redder as the anger burned strong in him.

...

Ichiro stopped running and entered a corridor, where there were a dozen corpses littered on the ground with destroyed walls.

There was a hole in the wall, which showed the bright white room with a single table, but there wasn't anyone in sight.

Ichiro looked at the smartwatch and saw the red dot moving away from his current position.

Without further ado, he ran after the red dot, but instantly after he did that, a figure appeared from the white room and swung a sword towards him!

Ichiro calmly moved his swords as a block and easily blocked the sword strike of the sneak attacker.

The sneak attacker was a young man with a vicious look on his face. His veins popped in his arms and forehead as he was trying to push the sword forwards desperately, but Ichiro's physical prowess overwhelmed him.

Ichiro simply moved pushed his swords forwards which sent the young man who attacked him sliding backward.

''Damn!'' The young man knew that he wasn't Ichiro's match!

He instantly started running away, but then a sharp pain assaulted his leg as he fell down on the floor.

''AHHHH!'' He screamed and looked at his leg. He saw a dagger stabbing through his leg.

It went straight through his bone, which made every nerve in his body scream in agony.

Ichiro appeared next to him and swung his sword. The sword cut through the young man's neck like it was a piece of butter.

*Beep* *Beep*

[9:06:00]

[Eliminations: 5]

[Rank: 6]

[Fighters Left: 79]

Ichiro put the swords back on his sheath and started running after the red dot. He took one last glance at all these corpses in the ground.

In his previous life, they would be still in High School enjoying their youth, or suffering.

He suffered in school, because he wasn't never interested in studying. He was also different from others, which made him target of bullies.

But... That didn't end well for bullies.

Few broken bones and they started licking his feet.

But, he would still be in school, rather than in some Underworld death tournament, but this world is vastly different.

Ichiro pondered what did the young men and women think about this tournament. Did they think that it was as messed up as he thought it was.

Or is it really normal in this world.

Like the System said. Killing is normal in this world, but it felt after living 43 years in a world where killing is one of the worst crimes you can commit.

But, in this world it is one of the light crimes.

One of the worst crimes has to do with Mutated Beasts. They are entities which can cause a destruction of Human Species, and that's why no one is taking it lightly.

Ichiro turned his gaze away and continued his run towards the red dot, but when he took a glance at the smartwatch... He saw the red dot coming straight towards him!

He instantly took the swords from the sheaths and looked towards the dimly lit corridor in front of him.

Soon, a sound of running appeared in front of him. First thing Ichiro saw was a black-haired young man running with a pale face, but then he saw the one who was chasing after him.

It was a young woman with a pixie haircut and adorable face.

It was Kira!

Ichiro frowned and wondered why was Darc running away, when he is one of the strongest ones, at least on the paper.

Darc saw Ichiro and he instantly shouted, ''This bitch is crazy!''

''Hmm?'' Ichiro looked towards Kira and saw the sadistic smile on her face.

''Ah, fuck this!'' Ichiro turned away and started running away.

''Fucker, help me deal with his bitch!'' Darc shouted with enraged voice.

''Nope, one thing I have learned from my long life is to not have anything to do with crazy women!'' Ichiro shouted and accelerated his pace.

The System decided to stay quiet.
