Chapter 28 - Hanoa Showdown

Florka shakes his hands looking at Orced and Kruna, then grins, "There are two of you, and you call yourselves men? You can't be confident, are you, Orced? You just killed a weak person just to intimidate me."

Orced grinned again as he heard this. "You're right, if you want, you can fight just one of us. Would you want it?"

Florka confidently extends his hands and makes a "come at me" gesture, then says, "No, I'm enough for both of you."

Orced stared in astonishment and thought to himself, "Charismatic, very self-confident, but the anger and need for approval are written all over his face. You're no match for me, old friend."

Orced tells Kruna "You stay there, for now."

Kruna receives the message and says, "Okay, Orced."

Orced steps forward and says, "We can begin! You go first."

Florka looks at him and internallt says, "Is he trying to set a trap for me? Anyway, I'm not going to argue with him."

Florka activates his powers and first throws a fireball at Orced, then freezes him in nytrogen and shatters him with a giant cannonball.

Kruna is swept away by a cloud of dust and looks at the view "Orced?.."

Florka smiles triumphantly "Yea yea That's it!! I've completely destroyed him, see? I'll destroy you too-"

Suddenly, Orced respawns right before Florka, and Florka can't believe his eyes

"No freaking way.."

Orced smiled lightly and said "Yeah, Florka? Is something wrong so?"

Kruna continues watching. "Honestly? I'm not shocked."

Florka clenches his fists, gritting his teeth until the veins in his skull pop out. "I've had enough of you!!"

With all his energy, Florka rises back into the air and stares on top to Orced. 

He fires 10 fireballs in quick succession, then 30 clustered missiles, and finally a giant cannonball shatters Orced into his pieces.

Kruna shouted from the resulting cloud of dust and smoke, "Suck mine Florka! You're asking to beated, idiot!"

Florka looks again and says "Yes, this time there's definitely not a trace left. He hasn't looked back for a minute. It's your tu—"

Orced has respawned one piece in one millisecond again. The shock and fear is evident on Florka's face.

Kruna looked what happened there and laughed hard "HAHAHAHAHAHA"

Orced shakes the dust off his clothes. "Yeaa, not even a single scratch. I can keep doing this 24/7"

Florka glared in amaze "Just how could you do this? Are you a virus or something?"

Orced looked him in the eyes "Right? you fool. All the systems and data in my body were already backed up to my core, Parodks, which allowed me to respawn as a whole single unit."

Florka laughed again and said, "So you're giving me a reason to destroy your core too, is that right?"

Orced looked at him with curious eyes, "Why do you want to destroy me then? If it weren't for me, who would you seed hate and jealousy, right?"

Florka lowered his head "You were once an egocentric person who only wanted to be popular but never actually harmed anyone, but over time you just freak out more and more, you're a monster and I'll end you."

Orced rolled his eyes and smiles "Oh, of course, because you're acting in common sense, aren't you? Look Florka, don't you realize you start to be just like me?"

Florka got angry again. "You and I... aren't similar at all!"

Florka launches his artillery missiles and attacks Orced

Orced sees this "Let's make it serious"

At that moment, in the Sky Boys building, Ema and Aftor debating about what could they do

Ema covers her face with his hands and thinks, "That guy opposing them is none other than Florka, and we know very little about his powers so far."

After coreing the fence "Those two guys will handle him, I mean... I hope so."

There is also a whole other web of intrigue in Karkas's building.

Ash gighles, "Oh, I could hear all those fireballs and cannonballs. Orced is definitely finished."

Gus said to Ash angrily, "Don't talk so much, idiot. We're literally waiting for news here."

Ash rolls his eyes and gesticulates back and forth with his hands. "Oh yeah, we have an annoying boss who never calls us anywhere and wants always to be the hero."

Florka attacks him with retaliatory missiles, while Orced dodges each one with split-second maneuvers.

Then Orced scores with a bicycle kick, sending a missile towards Florka, and it explodes. "What??"

Florka is about to fall to the ground but quickly regains consciousness. "Mahson Landai"

Florka freezes the giant rock a little further away with liquid nitrogen until it hardens 30 times, and then throws it at Orced.

Then he prepares to smash it again with the giant cannonball, but the rock explodes and Orced emerges, handling the cannonball in mid-air.

Kruna's smile widened when he just saw this. "Oh my god!"

Orced shatters the cannonball and fends off Florka by punching him in the face "Yeah yeah, this is really enjoyable AHAHAHAH–."

Florka fends off Orced by breathing fire on him and then unleashes more fireballs. Kruna, watching from the sidelines, dodges these fireballs and becomes increasingly frustate as the forest burns.

Florka is quite tired after all this, and thinks internally "What can I do to beat this guy? There's a Plan B for everything; in any case, I need to get stronger so I don't struggle next time."

While the forest is burning, Kruna uses the water powers he acquired to put out the fire, then looks at Florka and clenches his fist.

Orced looks at him and laughs "What's wrong, old friend? You were seemingly so confident about beating me, but no you were just emotional which is a death sentence in fighting. You're no match for me!"

Orced raises one hand in the air "Janman!"

Orced ruins Florka's entire vision with a blinding eye ray and drives a giant windmill on top of him "Gosh! this is so harsh and hot.. am I burning or so?.."

"Oh right.."

Florka flies up from the windmill and physically attack Orced with his fists and kicks. "Die! Die already! You're a disgusting motherfucker!"

Orced laughs as he gets punched "Yeah, hit me, hit me so I can get more mental power!"

Orced throws Florka onto the closest mountain, and then a plane kicks down on top of his, making him shout "AAAAHHH!!"

Orced grabs Florka by the throat "3, 2, 1–"

Florka screams "NO!!" and kicks Orced again

He continues to throw fireballed punches at Orced "Wow! That's impressive not gonna lie!"

Orced fires pressurized water at Florka, and Florka activates a shield in the process.

At that moment, someone passing through the forest sees what is happening and his cursed energy meter starts sounding like an alarm.
