Chapter 199 - The Crimson One Fight Backs!

"Weak! Too weak!! Pathetically weak!"

The crimson one exclaimed in a shrill voice that sounded just like the cry of a sword. It was jeering to hear and filled with disdain towards himself; however, Vincent remained unaffected. After all, he had beaten him, defeated him, meaning he was the winner among the two. So, why would the cry of a loser matter to him?

"Still not down, huh? To me, it looks like you need another round of beating." Vincent said as he raised his leg and brought it down on his back. He wasn't here to listen to the cry of a maniac. He only had one goal in his mind; defeat the crimson one and conquer the last floor of the monster tower. He stomped on the crimson ones with such force that he got buried under the water surface, vanishing from Vincent's sight.

He looked down, and after nothing happening for a few moments, he almost thought that he had won for sure this time around.

Plop!

Suddenly, the crimson one charged out from under him and launched an attack on his stomach.. Although caught off guard, Vincent still managed to chop the crimson one's arm and deflect the attack.

Right at that very moment, he grabbed his face in a vicious grip. His crimson hands were like a beast's claw and hot enough to make Vincent feel like his skin was scalding.

"Too slow!" Vincent tried to knee him in the guts, but he had barely lifted his leg when the crimson one kicked him in the guts, tossing him away like a ragdoll. However, Vincent twisted his body in mid-air and hurriedly regained his balance, stomping one of his feet to come to an immediate halt.

Now, he was standing several meters away from the crimson one. "You're the dumb one, though." Blood trickled out the corner of his mouth, but oddly there was a mocking smile on his face. His eyes reflected Asura standing just a step behind the crimson one.

The crimson one's eyes widened as an overbearing pressure acted on him. He calmly raised his head to meet its gaze. Right then, six of Asura's hands balled into a fist, and It brought them down at the crimson one with such speed that it tore apart the air.

Bam! Its gigantic fists fell on top of him, producing a crisp reverberation and causing the water surface to blast upward. The scene slowly cleared up, and Vincent saw that the crimson one was no longer at his spot. Instead, he felt a scorching presence just behind him.

"Am I?" Just as those words reached his ears, his legs lashed out at the person behind him. Though, it hit empty air, surprising Vincent. A crimson flash appeared in his eyes, and he hurriedly twisted his body, dodging a sharp dagger. The one holding it was none other than the crimson one, and he rushed towards him.

They rushed at each other, trading even blocks, dodges, and blows to each other's faces. However, Vincent was getting slower and slower while the crimson one was getting faster and faster.

It seemed like it was warming up, and the smile on his face showed that he was playing him!

Anger surged in Vincent's eyes, causing his already red eyes to appear a shade darker. He ate a punch to his face but used the force behind that very hand to back off from the crimson one, sliding backward. While sliding away, he raised his right hand and pointed his fingers at the crimson one. A large amount of mana surged out of his fingers, swirling and compressing around his forefinger, condensing into the shape of a bullet.

Bam! He shot it at the crimson one, who did not even budge, showing that he had no intention of dodging it. An instant later, the bullet crashed on his red chest and blasted his body apart.

"Heh, did you waste all your time learning these petty tricks?"

A moment later, the crimson one's mocking voice sounded in Vincent's ears, but he wasn't able to see him.

"Stop fighting with your words and use your fists, you coward! Come out of your hiding place if you are a man!"

"A man?! How dare you degrade me by comparing me to a man??"

His eyes turned around in search of him, but the crimson one suddenly appeared before him and punched him to the ground. The moment his head touched the water of the water, the crimson one stomped on his face with such force that it gave him a concussion. Another stomp buried his body up to his waist under the water surface. He gasped for breath as water bubbles raised, going upwards.

"Roar!" Asura roared out in anger, enraged at the crimson one, for he had harmed his master. It directed all the raw energy towards its mouth, and then it released a powerful beam of crimson energy from its wide opened mouth.

Whoosh! It blasted through the air and carried the sharpness of steel and the destructive power of a bomb. The entire 31st floor was brightened up in a crimson hue, and interestingly enough, crimson rays even managed to reach out of the monster tower.

"Hmph! You dumb dog, how dare you bite the hands that had fed you!"

The crimson one scowled in anger, intense sadness and madness swirling in his eyes as he effortlessly slapped the crimson beam and redirected to his left. He did it all too easily, almost as if he was swatting a fly and not a beam of energy packing enough power to annihilate a village in the blink of an eye. 

"Bomb!" The crimson beam exploded, releasing intense shockwaves and shaking the entire 31st floor. By that time, Asura was already charging towards the crimson one, intending to cut him down by using his weapons.

Before it could reach anywhere near him, though, a voice with no rationality and the desire to kill echoed in the air. "You deserve to die!"
