Tower Of Combat Part 6 - (T.O.C Arc Finale)

(Throughout the sixth and seventh floors of the tower, champions from other realms were battling aggressively as a loud boom from the sixth floor tower was Yinlong crashing before standing back to his feet, he'd then dodge a punch powerful enough to drill a hole into the tower's floor while fighting back against his new opponent as fiercely and carefully as he could.)

"Kyilei: Yinlong, get out of there!!"
"Imani: ..."
"Cornelae: OOO!! This'll be such a big scoop!!! It's been such a long time since we've seen this kind of fight in any Worldly Conquest event!"
"Anaconda: I'll be sure to buy a copy of the Old Realm Post this week if it gets out."
"Cornelae: Ahh, thank you so much Mr. Anaconda sir!"
"II Fupol: He won't hold on for much longer, all of that fighting drained his yin and yang energy."
"Primus: Unfortunately, you're right. Plus, knowing he's fighting him, it'll definitely be over."

(As Yinlong recollects his energy to his yin and yang, his opponent was revealed to be a Guardian powerhouse as the two were separated.)

"Yinlong: ...Just who are you...?"
"Deuliox (Race: Guardian (AWK) | #1 Strongest In Worldly Conquest | Sinner Rating: 8 Stars): My name is not of any concern to the weak. For a returning player, you've lost your way."
"Yinlong: ...! H-How did you-"
"Deuliox: To avoid this pointless struggle, it's best for you to accept elimination without being painfully defeated."
"Yinlong: ... (Thinking): He's right... Solar Magician is eliminated and won't become Wizard King... but why.. why is my senses and my body telling me to fight knowing I can't win...? (Aloud): ... Even so."
"Deuliox: ...?"
"Yinlong: You may fight me as hard as you can, but since I'm in this tower, you'll have to force me out yourself."

(Deuliox then stares down Yinlong without moving a muscle and in the millisecond of a moving muscle from Yinlong, Deuliox immediately glances from a distance and lands a transparent punch to Yinlong's stomach, connects with an uppercut then a powerful kick to send him afar into the debris of smoke.)

"Primus: ...!"
"Kyilei: WHAAA?!?"
"Cornaele: Ahhh!!!"
"Anaconda: Hm?"
"Kyilei: WHAT- WHAT THE HELL JUST HAPPENED?!"
"Imani: It seems like it was a transparent attack from such a distance, only such a powerful individual could achieve such an ability in the 487th Realm..."
"Kyilei: T-THAT...-"
"Anaconda: He's clearly not going to survive."

(As Yinlong regains his strength, he'd activate Eyes of Fortune once again and counters the transparent attack as Yinlong rushes towards Deuliox at full speed. Deuliox then glances again as Yinlong then runs into a transparent wall then is punched by Deuliox's fist, feeling several broken bones at the force of the impact.)

"Deuliox: You're a fool for making such a decision."

(At the force of a cannon, Yinlong was once again punched back, kicked back by Deuliox's transparent figure and immediately, Yinlong activates his 3rd Human Awakening, breaks free of the grasp and begins to regenerate his stamina at a fast pace. As Yinlong then takes the fight seriously, he'd use what little of his yin and yang energy he has to fight. Deuliox then continues to stand in the exact same spot in his base form as Yinlong then charges towards Deuliox and kicks him back repeatedly as the two were driven towards the edge of the tower floor, Yinlong's leg was then forcefully gripped by Deuliox, thrown across the floor, kicked into midair, slammed back into the ground and continuously the two exchanges melee and grapple attacks while once again capturing the attention of all nearby fighters and the audience as well.)

"Primus: ...He's going to get himself killed, purposely..."

(Yinlong then separates immediately, summons a one star sword from his inventory and converts his yin energy into it as Deuliox charges at Yinlong, the two exchanges in a fast paced sword to hand combat as Deuliox's hands were protected by the Guardian's Barrier, an active 4 star passive when taking damage via sword. Deuliox then immediately expands his seeable barrier, forcing it to explode and distract Yinlong as Yinlong's sword was immediately broken and immediately, Yinlong flash steps to avoid a caving overhead kick which created a large portion of a hole onto the 6th floor of the tower. Yinlong then backflips twice from a far distance, summons two 5* swords then charges immense energy into both swords as the tower once again trembles under immense power as Yinlong then forcefully activates his 4th Awakening for immense damage along with activating a 5* Passive allowing him to surpass the speed of sound. As the fans were all in anticipation of the attack, Yinlong roars once, rushes towards Deuliox and within moments, the entire 6th floor was surrounded by red bursts of lightning and a massive debris of smoke as even the announcers could not see what has happened.)

"Deuliox: ...Well, Yinlong. I take back what I've stated earlier, you are strong... But."

(As a portion of the debris clears, Deuliox was standing with his hand raised, gripping both of Yinlong's swords with the effort it took to stop him from attacking as the audience was in shock along with the contestants. Yinlong stood in silence, knowing he could never win but fought with everything he could muster.)

"Deuliox: Not as strong as me. If we ever meet again, I wish to test you then to see if you've truly grown... Only then, I will grant you my name. Farewell, returning veteran."

(With a quick glimpse of light, a powerful beam of energy shoots right above the crowd as the defeated Yinlong was blasted unconscious with 5 HP left for he then at last, falls out of the tower with his two swords vanishing back into his inventory as Kyilei then fell to her knees, watching Yinlong fall as he was then eliminated as Imani then comforted her as all within the audience has fallen silent to the elimination of Yinlong, whom has gained the attention of hundreds of thousands after his performance in the Tower of Combat.)

"Primus: ..."
"II Fupol: ..."
"Imani: ...Princess. It's time to go."
"Kyilei: ...Yes. ...Anaconda, it was... great seeing you..."

(As Anaconda was just as silent, he'd only nod as Yinlong was seen being stretchered out of the Tower of Combat as Kyilei and Imani both leaves the audience stands to meet with Yinlong. Meanwhile for Yinlong, he was currently taken through a portal into the District of Wizardry's medical facility and spawnpoint as he was then given a quick healing for he could not awaken from his coma quickly. As Kyilei then orders to have Yinlong transferred back to the Region of Dawn and to the royal palace for exquisite treatment, Imani was admired by the fighting Yinlong has done up until his elimination.)

"Kyilei: This is... the third time this happened... Another warrior is going to die and it's all my fault..."
"Imani: Princess..."

(As Kyilei was in despair for her stupid reasons, Yinlong in his conscience was speaking with the Vampire Empress, revealed to wear a sultry attire while looking as young as a 26 year old human while living as a forgotten vampress over 10,000 years old.)

"Yinlong: I knew I couldn't win. But I still had to give it all I had in the arsenal."
"Nerata (Race: Vampire (AWK) | Oldest Vampire Empress | Sinner Rating: Unknown): It was quite the stupid choice, but you had no other option and you wasn't going to eliminate yourself."
"Yinlong: You know me too well, Nerata."
"Nerata: Now that we're actually here, I wanted to talk to you. How come you've came back to the game after so long?"
"Yinlong: Well... It's confusing but, Worldly Conquest is reality now."
"Nerata: Hm? Is this like that kind of manga "Lancing Online Art" or something?"
"Yinlong: Something tells me you went through my manga collections in real life..."
"Nerata: No idea what you mean!"
"Yinlong: ... (Narrating): Nerata in real life was actually one of my classmates before the New Year started. When we started the game together, she lead me through everything in Worldly Conquest. Now we just call on each other whenever we both are online and help each other immediately."
"Nerata: Well, it sucks that you can't really do anything for the next few hours."
"Yinlong: I could skip my coma but you wanted to talk right?"
"Nerata: Well yeah, there's another motive why you're back in Worldly Conquest after a year and six months, is there?"
"Yinlong: ...Vengeance. You was there Nerata, but they took you out before they could kill me."
"Nerata: ...By they, you mean your former clan members."
"Yinlong: Yes. Just like they've betrayed and killed me, I will kill every last one of them back, one by one."
"Nerata: And fighting Solar Magician was to clear your first target?"
"Yinlong: Exactly. I had no other motive into entering the Tower of Combat except protecting the Commoner Fields and killing off Solar Magician. Unfortunately, the Grand Wizard was watching everything and called me out on it."
"Nerata: Hm... It won't be easy, but they've gotten stronger. I can definitely tell knowing its been a few months into Worldly Conquest."

(As Nerata now understood the situation more clearly, she then felt obligated to assist Yinlong on his journey in vengeance taking.)

"Nerata: Well, if you're going to get revenge, I'm going to help you. After all, we're best friends outside the game, right?"
"Yinlong: Of course we are, I'll take any help I can get. First thing when I wake up is to return to the Commoner Fields, the poor villagers are worried for me and awaits my return."
"Nerata: There better be some good meat to eat over there..."
"Yinlong: You'll see when I wake up and we then go over there."

(As Yinlong then waits out his unconsciousness with Nerata, the two exchanges ongoing varieties of conversations and arguments to pass the time to avoid loneliness.)
