''Hmph!'' Lucius and Yumi snorted simultaneously and lunged towards Ichiro.
They were confident that two Gold-Ranked fighters could take down one.
Ichiro calmly deflected the dagger strikes. His movement seemed perfect with smooth techniques like he was swimming in a sea.
Lucius quickly moved behind Ichiro and thrusted his dagger forwards.
Yumi was in front of Ichiro with her dagger being blocked by Ichiro's sword.
Her eyes sparkled as she saw Lucius in a perfect position.
[Iron Kick - Soul Breaker!]
But, her hopes were soon crushed after Ichiro did an inhumanly fast back kick, which sent Lucius flying straight through the exit of the room.
His body crashed on the wall, and his condition remained unknown.
Yumi paled as she felt things taking a very bad turn.
But she has another plan. She quickly started shouting, ''Everyone, help us two defeat these two monsters! I promise that I won't try to fight for the Power Limit Remover!''
Everyone felt tempted, but they all couldn't truly believe Yumi's words.
Yumi saw their uncertainty, she almost bursted into anger, but she continued with a calm tone, ''If we can't defeat them, neither can anyone of you!''
Her words finally sank in, and most of the young men and women in the room nodded.
Some decided to stay on the sidelines, but everyone looked at them like they were fools.
If they manage to defeat Ichiro and Rage Beast, they will kill the ones who didn't help first!
The Rage Beast saw the crowd of humans surrounding the dark room he was in. A small amused smile appeared on his monstrous face.
Ichiro saw five young men approaching his position. They weren't hurrying and were extremely careful.
Ichiro shook his head and send a strikingly fast punch towards Yumi!
Yumi widened her eyes as a hard fist contacted with her cheek and sent her flying through the air.
The young men who were walking suddenly stopped with pale faces. Ichiro swung his blade and lunged towards the young men.
''W-Wait!'' The young men cried out, but Ichiro quickly decapitated them.
Five bodies fell lifelessly on the ground as five heads fell on the floor not far from him.
His smartwatch started changing as kills started pouring in.

''HAARGH!'' Ichiro's attention quickly shifted to a blond-haired young man with a bloodied face.
Lucius was slowly dragging his legs behind him as he looked at Ichiro with eyes that told everyone that his only purpose was to kill him!
''Hiyah!'' A black-haired young woman appeared behind Ichiro as she thrusted her dagger forwards. There was a massive bruise on her cheek, which caused her look very pitiful, but no one here had time for pity.
Ichiro quickly swung his blade towards Yumi, but it was got blocked by a dagger, but the impact sent Yumi flying straight towards the nearby wall.
Lucius grabbed his dagger tighter, with his palm covered in blood. He suddenly went into a throwing stance and sent the dagger flying straight towards Ichiro's back!
Ichiro's senses went overdrive. He instantly turned around and swung the sword at the same time.
The sword sent the flying dagger straight towards Lucius!
''Oh.'' Lucius could only mutter as the dagger pierced through his forehead.
His body fell lifelessly on the floor.

Ichiro quickly turned his body around and saw the Rage Beast having his own massacre.
Three bodies were already littered on the ground, and more were dying with each passing second.
He glanced at Yumi and saw her pupils being white, signaling that she was unconscious.
The Rage Beast looked like he had fun, but that fun soon stopped after he killed the last one.
He turned his menacing red eyes towards the only person who was still standing.
Ichiro cracked his knuckles as he prepared for one of the toughest battles in his new life so far.
The Rage Beast's amused smile disappeared. He started slowly looking much more serious with his red eyes glaring at the black-haired young man in front of him.
A small puff of smoke started leaving Ichiro's muscular body.
''Huff… Huff… Whew…'' He started taking deep breaths, and soon his whole body was smoking.
He was preparing for the worst. If he has to use his Ultimate Technique, it would mean that he is screwed.
…
In the spectators' room.
The VIPs sat quietly. Only soft breathing was heard in the room as everyone was focused on the screen.
Mei and Rijun were enraged after their fighters had lost, but there was nothing they could do.
Earlier, when Eric and Darc were defeated. Ali and Longel didn't seem to care that much.
But Mei and Rijun needed the Power Limit Remover desperately, and they were so close to getting their hands on it!
Elina, also known as Quella, looked at the scene with a nervous gaze. She had faith in Ichiro's ability, but that Rage Beast is at the same level as she was only a few months ago!
When she was training Ichiro, she knew that he was dozens of times weaker than she was.
She has noticed that Ichiro had become countless times stronger, but how strong is the question.
She has always been hailed as a genius, but if Ichiro manages to win this…
Quella has to admit that Ichiro's talent doesn't lie in learning techniques quickly. Instead, it lies on his pure fighting ability!
Her talent doesn't lie in fighting; instead, it lies in getting stronger quickly, while Ichiro is completely opposite.
It is a miracle that Ichiro reached his level in such a short period of time. Even Quella doesn't know how he managed to do it, but it is commonly known that reaching Martial Commander is much faster when you are older.
But… reaching Martial General is an entirely different matter.
Even though his talent isn't something incredible, Quella has to admit that Ichiro is probably the best in terms of fighting ability!
At least she hasn't seen someone so incredible in her life. She has seen monsters like Abyss fighting, but they use brute strength of Power Traits to defeat their enemies.
It is completely different!
She already gets chills after knowing that one day Ichiro will reach Martial King and receive a Power Trait of his own…
Just how strong he will be then?!
