Chapter 191: Sky, Gone, Dark, Beasts.
Rick and others looked at the handsome black-haired figure in front of them.
Rick was the strongest one of them, and he was confident that he has no chance against Ichiro!
He and his friends were from the Private High School of Cold.
They are all wealthy and privileged, living in the rich part of society.
They should all live comfortable lives, far away from danger, but why are they here?
They are all part of the Martial Arts family.
Rick and others can't use the family's money. They need to reach an acceptable level first, for Rick is Martial Commander, and he is very close.
They came to Frozen Island to earn some quick money and get stronger.
The Mutated Beasts corpses earn a lot.
Alive Mutated Beasts even more, but no one is allowed to take Mutated Beasts out of the island.
Rick and others saw Ichiro only swiping his hand, and the corpse of the Mutated Beast disappeared.
They, of course have heard of majestic Spatial Ring.
It's worth alone is 12,000,000,000$.
Rick and others thought that the individual's identity can't be simple if he owns Spatial Ring.
But greed holds no bounds, and they thought that no one will find out they killed him.
They were also confident enough on defeating him if he was Martial Commander because they have 6 Martial Captains on their side.
But… Then they saw the identity of the young man.
Kurogami Ichiro - The Third King and The Reigning Champion of Battle of Cities.
They saw the tournament as well, and the scene is still vivid in their minds.
Rick clenched his fist— he felt reluctant to retreat.
Spatial Ring could change his life forever.
He no longer has to listen to his asshole father and live somewhere far away with a beautiful wife.
Rick took a glance at one of the three beautiful young women.
Or more precisely, the one in the middle.
She had beautiful auburn hair which reached her waist and an adorable face. She is Rick's childhood sweetheart Maria, and they have been dating for over 5 years, but now she is currently looking at Ichiro the way she had never looked at Rick.
Rick was certain that if this scene was animated, then his girlfriend's eyes would have been turned into hearts.
Seeing her look made Rick enraged!
Ichiro was innocently looking at them, ready to strike if needed.
Rick put his hand on his waist and unsheathed his sword.
His friends and girlfriend looked at him like he was crazy.
Ichiro narrowed his eyes.
''What are you guys waiting for?!'' Rick roared, ''If we get his Spatial Ring, we can finally abandon fucking Martial Arts and live comfortable lives!''
His friends looked thoughtful.
They have enjoyed a luxurious life, and then they have been stuck on Frozen Island for a few days, and they hated every second of it.
They want to return to a luxurious life, even if they don't have money to use for themselves.
But, what if they can get both?
Rick's friends obviously got greedy.
Maria sighed and took her dagger from her sheath.
They all are in need of money.
They surrounded Ichiro and pointed their weapons at him.
Ichiro looked at them and had his swords in attacking stance.
*Step*
Ichiro's gaze locked at Rick, who was the first one to make a move!
Rick did a large vertical slash!
Ichiro put his sword in the way and blocked it!
But his legs were buried in the snow.
Rick was holding his sword with a surprised face.
'His physical strength is worse than mine… Wasn't he Martial Commander?' Rick thought with shock.
Ichiro quickly moved out of the way because another sword hit his previous spot.
Rick's friend clicked his tongue and took his sword from the snow.
If Ichiro really was Martial Commander, then with his physical strength alone, he could have injured Rick.
But he is Middle Martial Captain, and Rick is Peak.
'I really need to reach Martial Commander… Maybe then I can fight against Martial Generals!' Ichiro thought.
In his past life, when he reached 20 years old, he was already at the top.
His master had the title of the strongest, and one day he wanted to challenge it.
But never had a chance, and Ichiro got the title of the strongest without fighting for it.
For 20 years, he had the title of the strongest.
Many challenged him for his title.
All failed.
Since he was reincarnated.
There have always been people stronger than him around him.
But in the future… He will remember these scenes with fondness. The times when he wasn't certain that he will win.
*Clank*
A surprise dagger strike came next to Ichiro, but he easily blocked it with his sword.
Maria tried to push the dagger deeper, but then Ichiro's foot slammed into her torso, sending her far away to the forest.
''MARIA!'' Rick screamed— he angrily ran towards Ichiro and did another vertical slash.
Ichiro took a sidestep, enough to dodge the slash.
He changed the grip of his sword and did an upwards slash towards Rick's sword hilt.
*Clank*
''ARGHH!'' Rick screamed in agony.
The sword fell from his grip and fell on the snowy ground some distance away.
Rick's hand was bleeding, but it was otherwise fine.
Ichiro decided to unarm him.
[Iron Burst!]
Ichiro appeared behind Rick and used his sword's hilt to hit Rick's nape.
Rick's eyes went white, and he fell unconscious.
Rick's friends were shocked, but soon they lied on the ground unconscious as well, after Ichiro moved like lightning.
Ichiro went towards the forest to get Maria's unconscious body.
He dragged her towards other unconscious figures and threw her to the ground next to Rick.
Ichiro sighed and looked at the sky, just in time to see the sun leaving the sky.
Surroundings became pitch black, and this was what Ichiro feared most.
It is like he can feel the breath of Mutated Beasts around him on his neck.
Ichiro started carrying the six unconscious figures.
It was quite of sight of balancing and strength.
He walked towards a nearby mountain and arrived there 10 minutes later.
There was an open cave in front of him.
He saw it before Rick and others attacked him.
Ichiro entered the cave and approached very carefully.
He isn't sure whether there are Mutated Beasts hiding.
