Chapter 100 - #99 Gais Death (1/2)
He quickly jumped away from me and I let him retreat some distance away from me.
”You know...you have already lost.” I said while waving around with his cut off arm that was still in my hand.
”Hehe, I know, I didn't have much chance even before-” He said while maintaining the earth on his shoulder to stop or slow bleeding.
”Then why do yo-” I wanted to ask him something but I was interrupted.
”BUT! What kind of man would I be if I just gave up?! I would never be able to face her ever again!” He shouted while hardening his grip on his shoulder and suddenly the ground shook and his arm was getting restored slowly or more like being replaced by the earth.
”AAGH!” He screamed in pain while the earth was connecting to his shoulder but he maintained a strong crazy smile on his face.
”Heh, struggling till the end, is it? At least I can respect your struggle despite being it futile. And what is the better show of respect other than fighting you with everything I have?” I said with closed eyes and a small smile from seeing his last struggle.

'What is he saying? Does it mean that he is even stronger than what he showed to me?!' Gai thought while gritting his teeth, beads of sweat were visible on his neck and they were even pouring down from under his armor.
---
”Let me show you proper respect by showing you our real difference!” I said and struck my sword into the ground in front of me.
[Contempt for the Weak]
*Bang!*
”This is where you die, Gai of the Elite Seven!” I shouted with narrowed eyes completely devoid of any emotions and the ground around my sword cracked open and tho large parts of the earth were now sticking out of the ground
---
'?!! Why did the air become so heavy?! This guy is something even chief can't defeat all alone. He is simply a monster!' Gai stood dumbfounded while looking at Akashi who was staring down at him with his red glowing eyes and enlarged vertical pupils as if he was about to judge him.
---
”Recover from your shock, I don't want to slay someone who isn't even paying attention.” I said while pulling out my sword from the ground.
”?!” He flinched and shook his head before readying himself.
”Good...I recommend you to close your eyes since they will be useless anyway.” I said before I disappeared from my place just to appear a few meters forward just in front of him, throwing a punch with my left hand to his abdomen.
”!! GAH!” *Bang* He was unable to even put his arms in front of him to protect himself before he suffered from my punch. He was blown away from the street to one of the wooden houses, completely breaking it.
”I won't wait any longer.” I said after 2 seconds after he broke the house.
[Health: 720/770] I let my sword suck my blood.
*Screech* I sent a vertical slash of concentrated crimson energy that came from my own blood.
The ground was easily cut through by the crimson energy as it traveled towards the broken house.
*Bang* Before the slash could cut through the entire house, a figure jumped out of its remains. It was Gai who jumped out of there who kept on rolling for a while before he stopped just to cough out blood. I noticed that his head was no longer shielded by his armor and his armor was now incomplete.
”*Cough!* Kuku, how am I supposed to react to such a speed?” He started laughing while muttering. He was right now on both knees and hands, although the other hand was only made of earth.
”?! Agh!” He ġrȯȧnėd.
”I told you that I won't wait for too long, it would only serve as disrespect to you.” I said with a calm tone and emotionless eyes while gripping his head and pulling him up in the air.
”I give you that you are much stronger but that doesn't stop me from fighting!” He suddenly formed a crazy smile with his entire mouth covered in blood and shouted at me while intending to drive his knee into my chin.
”Hmph.” I snorted and easily dodged his sloppy attack and then I slammed him into the ground with his head first.
I decided to just stand in front of his head while he was lying on the ground without moving with his face first.
