"Oh no! Junior brotheeeerr!" At the same time as Virus was blasted away into being completely motionless, Astes' yelling voice which seemed to be extremely worried reverberated throughout the Colosseum.

"Oh… I think this is over… the countdown has begun… if he doesn't stand up soon… the judge elder will…" Tinsel who was sitting among the spectators uttered.

"He was blasted for like three meters! He must've been gravely injured. If I'm not wrong, the only place in his body which has defense is his arms and legs… the rest of his body like his stomach is entirely at a mortal's level and thus, defenseless… nothing special…" Hartas spoke as he began to analyze the situation.

"Ah, then he must be mortally injured right now. I was hoping he could at least go against you, senior brother… so you would talk to him about the ring face to face…" Tinsel muttered.

"Well… it seems that's not going to happen since he seems to be at his limits already." He stated.

Seeing Virus motionless on the ground, another girl who was watching the match from among the spectators murmured, "It seems I'm not going to face that interesting guy… uh, what a pity… I was really curious about him, especially that ring of him… uhhh, his background must be pretty amazing to have access to something like that while he's only a mortal."

Then, as the spectators were watching Virus lay there motionless, Howar finally moved toward Virus as he stopped right above his head and looking down on him, he uttered, "You think I'll let you off just like that? Haha, well, you're very wrong, since this is just the beginning."

Declaring this, he sat down beside him as he gripped Virus' neck with his right hand and raised him above his head as he stared at his closed eyes, "How about I first…"

"No, let me." He was just about to continue when suddenly, Virus opened his eyes and voiced with an evil grin appearing on his face.

Instantly, Howar knew something was wrong, however, it was already too late for him to show any kind of reaction as the next moment, he spotted that Virus took out something from behind himself as he aimed it at his right arm which was gripping his neck.

Bang! Splash! Targh!

The next moment, an arm fell on the ground as Howar, who's eyes were already wide open, looked at his own right shoulder which had no arm attached to it anymore as he began to scream like he was going through hell, "AAAaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrRRrrrrrrrrrggGGGhhhhhhhhh…"

However, not waiting for him to come to himself, before he had a chance to gather his wits, Virus aimed the object in his palm toward one of his legs and the next moment…

Bang! Splash!

A leg dropped on the ground which was followed with even more pathetic and louder screams, "AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH…"

As he began to scream, Howar's whole body had also dropped on the floor because of the lack of balance and the extreme pain he was experiencing from the loss of both an arm and a leg.

ALMOST TWO MINUTES AGO

"Rock Ripping Piercer"

Seeing the spear coming toward him, Virus thought, 'You're so easy to read…' And thinking that, he dodged that attack in a way which seemed it was rather hard for him to escape out of the way of the attack.

'Let's begin.' As this notion passed through his mind, Virus took a new stance as he sent a straight kick with an obvious weakness he was certain Howar would notice.

"Wrathful Human Charge!"

'Huh, just as I expected.' Seeing him move to the location of that certain weak spot in an extremely fast speed, Virus knew he had succeeded as he waited for what's going to happen next.

"Bane Blast Penetrating Strike!"

'Certainly…' As the new spear attack rushed at him, Virus, who was already prepared for this, slightly moved his leg in a way so that it would obstruct the tip of the incoming attack from Howar's line of sight.

Then, after he was sure Howar and most others won't be able to see what's going to happen next, he brought his hand in front of the piercing spear at the very last moment before the hit.

Bang!

However, much to his surprise, the spear attack seemed to explode. Fortunately though, the power behind his arm was easily able to subdue the backlash. And, obviously, his arm's defense was still strong enough to receive the damage from the explosion without any kind of injury.

'Ah, this is even better than what I had in mind… what a nice opportunity… haha… let's play along.' At the same time, as this thought passed through his head, he put an abrupt force behind the fingers of his other foot, which was still on the ground, as he sent himself flying for a few meters before finally landing while his body was facing the ground.

After his body fell and lay motionless on the ground, without any kind of movements, he thought, 'Divide Initial Configuration -- Handgun!'

As this command was directly sent to the scales which was still covering his arms and legs, on the palm of his left hand which was hidden under his body, a blue light began to separate itself from the palm of his left hand as it began to change and transform into a handgun!

Then, Virus sent another command to the handgun, 'Explosion mode!'

The instant this command was sent to the handgun inside his grip, amazingly, the blue lights all over the body of the handgun all changed into… red lights!

'Since there is no way he would let me off just like that, let's wait without moving in the least… come on Howar… I have faith in you… haha.' As this thought passed through his head, Virus heard the sound of footsteps which stopped right beside him and then uttered, "You think I'll let you off just like that? Haha, well, you're very wrong, since this is just the beginning."

'Actually, I thought the opposite.'

Then, sitting beside him, Howar grabbed his neck and raised Virus' whole body above himself as if he wanted to display the result of going against him to everyone, then he spoke, "How about I first…"

Finally, knowing it was the time to open his eyes, Virus declared, "No, let me." And then, bringing his left hand from behind himself with an extremely quick speed, Virus pulled the trigger as a red light entered into Howar's arm and the next moment…

Bang! Splash! Targh!

At the place where the red light had entered, the sound of a rather loud explosion was heard as Howar's arm was severed at that place entirely and fell on the floor with bits of his flesh and blood splashing around.

So next, as his arm fell on the ground, Virus' neck was finally released from the grip.

'Like you said… this is indeed just the beginning…' As this thought passed through his mind, Virus targeted one of Howar's legs as he shot at him without any kind of hesitation.

Bang!

And just like that, a leg also dropped on the ground which was followed with Howar's body also falling on the ground, as he rolled around in extreme pain accompanied by crazy screams.

Next, as Virus looked at Howar's body which was rolling around in extreme pain, he sat beside him as he inquired in a low voice without any expression showing itself on his face, "How are you feeling?"
