Chaos and Order - A Multiverse Fanfic

Moraine could sense a threat to her life, better than anyone of her caliber.

If it wasn't for that, she wouldn't have degraded herself to confine a Contestant in the Mirror Dimension, who was doing nothing but look at Mullroy and Murtogg.

With time, and as Kai brought out his Items and the blood flames, this feeling of death only multiplied.

She had potent reasons to believe that this Red's bounty was outdated, and he was at least a top-level 5th-floor Contestant.

And now, as the sword's tip almost entered the slit in front of her eye, this dreadful feeling of death became absolute.

There was no more guessing that Red possessed the power to kill her.

This sword itself meant death.

"Haa!" Moraine let out a powerful shout, and the circular area on her chest exploded with a powerful blue flash.

From her palms and shoes, a monstrous pillar of energy burst out, sending her flying in reverse.

Kai grinned.

As Moraine flew back, a speck of blood point chased her, and the black blade thrummed in pleasure, almost kissing her eye.

Suddenly, the shoulder pads of her armor opened and fired tiny missiles.

Two of the missiles homed on the incoming Fang, and another two rushed toward Kai.

Kai's hazel pupil narrowed and the two incoming missiles stopped midair before exploding as if they couldn't bear the pressure.

Yet, Fang too got blasted off because of this momentary distraction.

Moraine instantly took herself to the air and came to rest dozens of feet over Kai, her eyes planted on the levitating sword and then moving to Kai.

"Telekinesis?!" Her mechanical voice exclaimed. "Who are you?!"

Telekinesis wasn't an Ability that just anyone could afford or obtain.

And Moraine hadn't heard of a Contestant named Red from the 2nd Set who had risen to the ranks of powerful people recently, either.

Kai lifted his right hand and grabbed Fang's hilt. "No one."

Silence.

…

"I must say, you caught me off-guard with Telekinesis," Moraine said, regaining her breath. "It won't work twice, though."

"You talk too much," Kai spat in reply.

"Hmm?" Moraine sensed something wrong.

Suddenly, something happened that made her gasp.

Kai, who was just standing on the dock, vanished, his figure blurring as if it were just a mirage.

Such speed!

Moraine gasped, powering up the blast of the EMP.

But how could Kai fall for the same Skill twice?

If he had, then he wouldn't have been cursed as Blood Demon.

It was true that an EMP blast would render his Telekinesis useless, but only if the user could see and lock onto him, or if he was within the blast's area.

Kai dropped from the sky like a red meteor, his eyes murderous.

Moraine's Iron Man armor sent out an EMP, blasting the space of 3 meters around her. It wasn't the specialty of this armor, to begin with.

Yet, just when it seemed the EMP had hit Kai, he again vanished.

This?! Moraine couldn't make sense of it. How's he changing direction in midair?! I am sure he can't fly.

Kai indeed couldn't fly. Not without becoming Dementor-Kai, at least.

He again threw himself toward Moraine like a bullet, leaving a red meteoric tail in his wake.

Once more, an EMP got fired.

Everything seemed to slow down for Kai at this moment, and he breathed, the blood flames roaring along with him.

Before he could fall into the EMP's area, one of the Fangs appeared in front of him.

Kai's feet landed on the sword, and he kicked it to change direction, bringing the sword with him using Telekinesis again.

His speed was such that only a red blur got left behind, preventing others from seeing him.

"Two should be your limit," Kai's sneering voice echoed all over the dock. "What else can you do, Moraine?"

"Humph!" Moraine let out a cold snort.

The entire Iron Man armor shuddered, then, and with a pulsating blast, the Protector fired herself toward Kai.

Kai was about to change direction by kicking a sword when the absurd firepower coming off the armor's shoes lessened abruptly.

A stupendous amount of dangerous feelings rose in Kai's heart.

Not good.

The only thing Kai could do was snap his fingers, creating a magical shield in front of him to assist the Energy Field.

It was then Moraine raised her palms and fired a high-density energy beam at Kai.

The magical shield couldn't even last for a moment and shattered instantaneously.

Then the beam headed toward Kai got slowed down because of the Energy Field of the Coridite armor and struck his chest.

With a boom, Kai got sent flying, the armor on his chest caving in, reducing the damage by 10 points.

"Cough!" Kai coughed, forcing himself to regain his footing as the water under him splashed everywhere.

Moraine threw herself toward him in no time.

Once again, she fired the energy beam, but this time in short bursts.

Kai took a deep breath and hissed out a powerful breath. The blood flames around him crackled with a mind-boggling roar, making him shudder with the power.

He held his swords in a tight grip and kept slithering in and out of the energy beam blasts.

Just as Moraine took the tiniest moment to catch her breath, Kai lunged at her with a never-seen ferocity.

This was a pure display of power.

Nothing more.

Moraine raised her arms in defense, and both Fangs hacked down at her like the red gaze of a primal beast.

Boom!

Kai got thrown several dozen meters toward the sandy beach.

But Moraine hadn't come out of this exchange unscathed, either.

Wood splintered where she fell, and one could see metal sliced through and through where Fang had hit her.

Both Contestants huffed and puffed, gauging each other leftover capabilities.

Kai crawled back up to his feet and eyed Moraine, who was also looking back at him.

I refuse to believe that she only has the Iron Man armor, he thought, sneering. I haven't even sensed her using any Ability, either.

A bounty of 13,000,000 berries? Moraine licked the blood on her lips, recalling the Wanted poster she had seen. Bounty my foot!

"You aren't half-bad, Red," Moraine told Kai, metal screeching around her as she straightened her spine. "If you can block my next move without losing a single point of HP, then I will admit defeat in our little game."

…

A deadly feeling took over Kai's instincts.

Even before it appeared in the real world, Kai felt its presence, and Fangs trembled in response.

Moraine swept her hand to her left, and a greatsword materialized in her grasp.

It was Claymore, with a red handle, and a blade length 9 inches short of Moraine's height.

The double-edged sword pulsated with raw power, and even the very space within the mirror dimension seemed to be sliced open, as it appeared in the world.

"I am Moraine the Elegant!" the Protector declared, raising her Claymore against her chest. "And today… I will stand true to my name."

Fuck! Kai cursed, the tips of his fingers throbbing like never before.

At this moment, the danger he was sensing from Moraine had already surpassed the one he had felt from Akaza in the Verse Fusion Random World.

Kai called out Golduck blood essence, hoping to dive into the sea to dodge the attack, for he knew there was no blocking it without losing HP.

It was a wishful task.

Too late.

The Iron Man armor on Moraine roared, metal striking on metal with a piercing screech, and the entire world became gray.

Kai had just thought of calling out blood essence when a blinding flash erupted from Moraine's armor's soles and she vanished.

A hundred meters' worth of distance melted away, and in the next moment, Moraine passed by Kai, walking with noble elegance.

The Claymore in her hand swept up, aimed at Kai's back.

Crack!

Everything snapped in Kai's mind, then.

Ethereal bolts of yellow lightning cracked in his surroundings, letting Kai regain the sense of time. Blood flames let out a magnificent roar, and three heads and six arms appeared on Kai.

And his bloodlust was such that the very air cackled demonically around him.

Selfless Breathing - First Transformation: Three-headed Vritra!

It was the most powerful strike in Kai's arsenal if he were to ignore complementing it with Little War Horn and Titan's buff.

With a bang, Kai charged ahead, becoming a speckle of blood point, destroying everything around him.

Clank!

The sound of metal striking metal was so loud that it shook the space.

When Kai paused, his transformation disappeared and the blood flames flickered like a candle about to go out.

Then, as if someone was playing a video at half the speed, the Fangs in his broke apart, becoming black dust.

Their Qualities struck 0% and both blades vanished, hissing out their last breath.

Only then did the world gain colors, the corners of Kai's mouth arching up in victory.
