My King System

"From the looks of it, there isn't anywhere to get the armour that Kostas was equipped with. If it were only him who had it, it wouldn't be a problem. However, one of his clones also had it. It most likely isn't actual armour. They are probably flames which have been concentrated and modified to resemble armour. That would explain why Kostas appeared inside the armour as if he was summoned. Instead all he would've done was come out of his shell like a turtle," said Yuki. 

"Activate ability: Fire Control" 

Yuki used his ability to create 4 large hands extending from his back. Using each one simultaneously and without remorse, Yuki destroyed all the clones which Kostas had created. In retaliation, Kostas created a large barrage of fire balls which he directed at Yuki at top speeds. Even with his best efforts, Kostas could not get past Yuki's line of defense. Each fireball was either wacked away by Yuki's fire made hands or they were caught and squeezed until they were vanquished by Yuki's fire constructed hands. 

"There's one thing I can try but it'll take too long to set up. On the other hand I could take a risk but there's no guarantee that it'll work... There's no point in contemplating, I might as well give it my all," said Yuki.

"Yuki brought his 4 fire-constructed hands in front of him. The two palms at the bottom faced the bottom two palms-each one at a slight angle. Yuki created more flames that sprouted from his fire hands to create a large ball-like structure. The crimson ball began to grow and continued to grow until it reached an immense size. At that point Yuki had to make all his palms face the stage ceiling as it could not be contained within their arm span.

Kostas began to get worried at the size of Yuki's upcoming attack. While he did have pride and honour of his own, Kostas wasn't foolish. It would be stupid to let Yuki gather his power until it was strong enough to destory him. The best course scenario would be to attack and kill him while he was open, which was what he planned to do. 

Kostas pressed into the stage's ground so hard that it caused it to have a dent in it. Using that dent Kostas propelled himself at high speeds towards Yuki. Seeing this happen, Yuki shrank the size of his fire ball within an instant. Before Kostas could even reach Yuki, the ball had reached the size of a bubble gun ball. However this time it was gleaming white. The consentated ball would surely kill Kostas if it were to make contact with him. Luckily for the armoured flame, he was able to see where it was clearly. 

Wasting no time, Kostas dodged to the right of Yuki. Now at his side, time began to move slowly as Kostas covered his arm in fire and landed a direct hit which clearly destroyed Yuki's guts. Due to the sheer impact of the attack, Yuki was sent flying. Yuki had accidently dropped the condensed fireball. or at least that was what Kostas thought. 

Yuki had been wanting Kostas to attack him instead of him being the one to attack. Kostas would be able to dodge any attack which Yuki attempted as Yuki had not increased his speed stat but only his attack stat. As such, Yuki would need Kostas to fall into a trap. The only way to do that was to trick him into believing that Yuki had been planning to use his trump card and finish the battle in one final attack. However that was not the case as Kostas would soon learn. 

As Yuki continued to fly in the air, the white ball also continued to fall towards the ground in slow motion. After what seemed like an eternity, Yuki crashed into the stage's wall which was a large distance away from where he and Kostas had been fighting. Yuki's crash caused him to be submerged into the stage's wall like a painting. However, even in his condition, Yuki was able to smile. With a black eye on his face, Yuki cracked a crooked smile as he brought his right hand forward and snapped his fingers. 

*BOOM*

The moment Yuki snapped his fingers, the white ball exploded from the inside right under Kostas' feet. At that moment, a large dome-like explosion cloud formed. The heat which radiated from it did not affect Yuki as it was done by his own ability. While to other people, it would've burned off their flesh and bones, to Yuki it felt like a warm breeze. 

As Yuki fell down from the stage wall face first into the ground, he couldn't help but feel happy. Yuki sat up to open his inventory. To no surprise, he began to cough up blood. His left arm was completely immobilized. Even due to all of this occurring, Yuki didn't feel any pain from it. 

"Did my pain tolerance increase or something?" Yuki asked himself before shrugging it off as he was exhausted. 

[Open inventory]

Yuki pulled out a full status recovery potion from his inventory and drank all of it at once. His body began to recover completely in the matter of seconds. All the bruises and cuts on his body began to disappear. 

Once healed, Yuki stood up straight and began to stretch his arms just to make sure everything was working perfectly. 

"Just 2 to go. After that there's only 18 other dungeons.. Why did I ask Zero to make so many dungeons?" Yuki groaned in annoyance at himself. 

"Relax Yuki, just one step at a time. I don't need to rush things, I should still be ahead of almost if not everyone in the world. I mean seriously, who would be able to keep their sanity after excruciating battles such as these. Honestly, I'm not sure if I'm even sane myself," Yuki thought to himself. 

"No point in wasting more time. I can get through this now so I can enjoy myself later. If I don't work hard now, I'll just be someone's lap dog later," Yuki said as he began to walk towards the gateway which led to the next dungeon.
