…

Only these kinds of Contestants could remain alive in the Primordial Tower, who were decisive, and who knew why and when to give up.

The lure of Jolly Mon, and it being an Item that could become Named Item, was great.

But was it great enough to lose one's life over it?

Even though the matter of the woman escaping had shocked Kai and the other Contestant, their momentum hadn't decreased.

Bubbles escaped the mouth of Ensui's user, and he hacked at Kai with his long water blade.

Kai still didn't use Afro's Tachi.

It was now packing the power to inflict huge HP damage, and there was no way he wouldn't make it count.

Kai outstretched his left hand, and a ball of water appeared in front of his open palm.

The moment Ensui's water blade arrived, the water ball exploded with a bang.

It was just a complex use of Telekinesis.

It was so weak that it couldn't even harm a 4th-floor Contestant. Much less needed to be said about the Contestants here, who were all Top-level 5th-floor ones, at least.

Kai hadn't aimed to harm the black-haired Contestant, either.

When the water ball exploded, it did nothing to the incoming water blade.

Instead, all the power of the explosion was directed at Kai himself.

A sharp pain coursed through his left hand and chest, making Kai grit his teeth, and he got thrown toward the place where the dark-skinned boy and Balista were fighting.

Meanwhile, the Contestant with Ensui in his hand was still covered under a layer of chaotic seawater behind him.

Suddenly, Gyarados-Kai's tail thrashed as he kicked the water, his speed exploding even further.

In his previous life, blood essence cultivators used to say that Kai became stronger as he fought.

However, it wasn't because he could use some otherworldly skills or arts, but because he was Kai of House Stormborn.

No matter what field he chose to be proficient in, he would eventually master it to an unprecedented degree.

Kai became strong with the progress of battle because he could access the minute changes in scenarios, and could observe and analyze his opponents' weaknesses in no time, letting him take advantage of the situations as he desired.

Both the dark-skinned boy and ninja saw Kai coming, but his speed was just too fast and unexpected for them to react.

The Contestant with Water-Bearers turned his shield construct toward Kai, hoping to use the blow to swim away from the disadvantageous position.

Alas! He miscalculated.

Kai lifted the Afro's Tachi and hacked.

And the sword went through the shield, the dark-skinned boy's head, chest, and waist like a knife through butter.

When the Water-Bearer Item parted in two, one could see disbelief written over the boy's face.

This was the last emotion he showed, and Kai's smile was the last thing he saw.

…

[You have killed 1 Order's Contestant]

…

Just as the notification appeared in front of Kai's eyes, making his smile widen, it was also when the seabed exploded beneath the three Contestants.

Boom!

"Don't let anyone go!" a muffled shout penetrated the sea through the sand and shells. "Catch them all!"

Wherever there were pirates, there would naturally be Bounty Hunters as well.

But the moment Kai saw others' appearances and get-ups, he knew they weren't Bounty Hunters.

In the lead, there was a Contestant in Atlantean Elite Commando Armor from the DC extended universe.

There was an Atlantean Steel Sword in his hand, the edge of its blade pulsating with blue plasma.

Behind the Elite Commando, there were two more Contestants in Atlantean Standard Armors, both carrying Hydro-Pulse Rifles.

To the left of these three, there was another Contestant in blue armor.

He was also carrying a sword, but it had a yellow handle and a blue disc, which was rotating with a blinding blue-white flash.

Kai recognized that sword.

It was a Secret Playback Katana Shinkenmaru, with a Secret Disk attached to its hilt.

It also made him learn the identity of this Contestant.

Shinken Blue from Samurai Sentai Shinkenger Random World, Kai thought, his face becoming hard. They are not Bounty Hunters. They are…

Marines!!!

…

Mirror Dimension! Kai named his guess, narrowing his eyes. They must have buried themselves under the seabed before casting Mirror Dimension around themselves. No wonder we couldn't pick up their presence. Tch!

Kai, the Contestant with Ensui, and the Ninja, all shared a wary glance, nodded and came to a mutual understanding.

If the Marines stayed together, then they would cherry pick the Pirates.

And the Pirates distrust each other too much to come to short moment of agreement.

Suddenly, 150 MP vanished from Kai's Stats, his reptilian, hazel eyes letting out a blue, magical glow.

Skill — Hurricane!

On the seabed, just where the Marines were, intense winds churned.

A gigantic whirlpool materialized, throwing the Marines in random directions.

Kai lunged at the Elite Commander with the Atlantean Energy Sword in his hand.

Ensui's user brandished the water sword and swam toward Shinken Blue, whose sword's disc was already letting out a dense blue glow.

The Ninja and his summoned Bakugan, Balista, rushed toward the two Standard Armored Contestants, who were carrying Hydro-Pulse Rifles.

The edge of the Energy Sword's blade sizzled red and blue as Ionized Plasma coursed through it, using the plasma gauntlets of the Elite armor and the pommel of the sword.

 This was a fatal combination of Items, Kai knew.

It didn't mean he feared it.

The Elite Armored Contestant's boots fired a blast of plasma, making him come at Kai like a missile.

Red hacked at the same time.

Boom!

A vacuum seemed to have appeared as the swords kissed, and as the water imploded and erupted back, it sent Kai and the other Contestant flying backward.

The moment their momentum vanished, they both lunged at each other again.

Another clash, and then once again.

Metal rang against metal, and both of them looked like blurs under the dwindling sunlight that had penetrated the depths of the sea.

But this fight was already becoming disadvantageous for pirates.

Ensui helped its user to last long underwater, but not breathe.

Even the Ninja was showing signs of fatigue.

Gyarados-Kai could last far longer underwater and enjoyed much flexibility, but it also impaired Kai by not letting him use the Selfless Breathing Style to its full extent.

If it was before, then this wouldn't have mattered much.

These Atlantean Armors were different from the main storyline ones.

Such armors were restructured to do the opposite of their intended purpose, letting ordinary Contestants breathe underwater.

So, if the fight were to last longer than expected, then they would definitely capture the pirates.

Now, Kai couldn't have that, could he?
