As soon as Baroka was pushed into a pillar, Rexus went rushing at Kazuma and Kito at full speed "HAHA! YOU BOYS ARE STILL ALIVE?! GOOD! THIS GIVES ME THE ABILITY TO KILL YOU IN DIFFERENT WAYS!", Rexus screamed out with excitement. Kazuma and Kito were in shock and straight terror, Rexus had summoned his sword in order to slice the two boys into two. Kito nor Kazuma didn't have anything in mind at all, all they could do was just watch as their enemy rushed towards them to kill them "Not good! Not good! We're gonna die!", Kito thought to himself with fear. As Baroka was layed out on the rubble of the pillar he had crashed into, he struggled to get up "GET BACK HERE! HEY, IM TALKING TO YOU! GET THE FUCK BACK HERE!", he yelled at Rexus. To Baroka, everything was in slow motion "You've got to be kidding me! This guy's gonna kill us all. He's going to kill Kazuma and Kito with one swoop of his sword. Not just that, but the rest of us are knocked out. White, Volt, Yuji, they are all unconscious!". Baroka grinned his teeth "For fuck sake...", he muttered with anger, Baroka screamed out with even more anger "WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU GUYS DOING ON THE FLOOR! KAZUMA AND KITO ARE ABOUT TO GET THEMSELVES DECAPITATED! AND WHAT DO YOU IDIOTS DO? YOU'RE LAYING ON THE FLOOR LIKE A BAG OF STONES!...". Volt's arm twitched as his face was down and with blood slowly dripping down from his mouth "Dammit, Baroka has a point. What the fuck am I doing taking a rest?!", Yuji muttered to himself with his palm grabbing the floor while it twitched "He's right! Kazuma and Kito are about to get skewered by a psychopath with a big ass sword, and I'm here struggling to stand up after one hit....!". White also muttered to himself while only half conscious "Don't fuck with me! I'm supposed to be a the young head of the main branch of the Noble Lords, and a fuck ass criminal is about to kill my friends right in front of me....!". Yuji muttered to himself as he slowly got up "Am I really going to get myself killed despite all the rough training grandpa had put me through....?", Volt asked himself as he slowly but surely started to stand up, his eyes were blank "Fuck! I'm supposed to be the elder twin, I can feel Rem's in pain. Hell I even know where she's hurting. I'm going to kill this guy...then I'll save Rem!". White also started to get up "Fuck! Fuck! Fuck! FUCK.....!", he kept muttering to himself, Yuji, Volt and White all got up and yelled "DONT FUCK WITH MEEEEEE!". They all rushed at Rexus at speeds faster than they had ever moved in their lives, as Rexus was about to kill both Kazuma and Kito with a simple sword swing while smiling like a maniac "AHHHHH, YOURE MINE!", Baroka summoned a rock covered with energy on his palm and threw it at Rexus. As Rexus was about to kill Kazuma and Kito, Baroka's rocks came in like a missle and banged him straight on the head. Rexus was in terror, his eyes turned white and his mouth was wide open "On the head..... Again?!", Kito and Kazuma were stunned as well. Both boys looked at Baroka who was laying on the rubble with a thumbs up and a smirk on his face "I'm sorry for being completely useless, but atleast I did what I had to do. Please, kill that guy!", Baroka fell out of the rubble face flat on the floor. Kazuma and Kito felt so touched to the point Kazuma started to shed a tear while Kito grinned his teeth "Thanks, Baroka!", Kito muttered. Kazuma created a short sword of energy "Thank you, Baroka....!", Kazuma muttered, Kito created a sword of ice covered with yellow lightning "Let's kill this guy!", he muttered to himself with rage. Yuji, White and Volt had already caught on to Rexus, Volt's hand was like a lightning blade, Yuji had a tramendous amount of lightning pouring out of his body as his authority mark spun like a wheel, and White already had his short sword ready to decapitated Rexus. All five of the boys had already cornered Rexus and tried to cut him down from different angles "We're going to kill this guy!", they all said out with anger and determination. While Rexus was about to get killed, everything seemed to be in slow motion. A smirk crept on his face "Ha! It's about damn time!", he snapped his fingers, a cloud of smoke suddenly appeared, and a figure was seen. All the boys, despite their killer instincts rushing all over the place couldn't help but to go still from fear on what they saw. White muttered to himself "What the...?", Volt's eyes just widened without him saying anything, Kito was also stunned "Isn't that... ?", Yuji was just heart broken "You've gotta be kidding me...!". And as for Kazuma, he was more heart broken than Yuji, his eyes became still after he realized who was standing before him "A....ri..". The person standing in between the boys and Rexus was Ariyo, he was nothing but a lifeless corpse that was standing like a puppet. Rexus smirk became even more unhinged, he waved his finger to the right "Blow them away!", Ariyo, tho lifeless, followed his command. With a swoop from one hand, he blew the boys away with terrifying force that sent them crashing into pillars. The force of the wind caused the nearby pillars to crumble, as well as causing the boys to get slammed into the rubble. Kazuma and Yuji stood up while the rest of the boys were forced to either stay down or struggle to get back up. Yuji was in pure disbelief "Ariyo....?", he turned to Kazuma who seemed to have lost all hope "Ariyo... what are you doing there? Why are you on that guy's side? And your eyes? Why do they look so lifeless?". Rexus chuckled darkly "Hmhaa! You know him? Had a feeling you did.", Rexus got up and dusted himself. His wounds started to heal up, and the blood on his head started to evaporate "He was one of the soliders sent to the city of pillars over a month ago. There were two of them actually, we killed both of them.", Yuji's face lit up with confusion and fear "Wait, that mean.... Dan is....". Kazuma couldn't believe his eyes while he saw his house master's lifeless body being used as a pupptet, his field of vision became blurry and tears started to rain down his eyes. Yuji turned to Kazuma "Kazuma....Kazuma...!", he called out his name with fear, despair and sadness. But to Kazuma, his hearing started to fade away, all he could hear was the small distortions around him when your ear payed attention to its surroundings for too long "I don't want to do this anymore!", Kazuma muttered to himself with everything around him going blank.
