"That jerk is hiding in the warehouse!"
A group of five weathered elders swiftly responded to the urgent information they received. Word had spread that the fourth elder had called for reinforcements, prompting them to converge on the warehouse. As they entered the dimly lit space, wisps of purple mist curled and swirled, lending an eerie atmosphere to the scene. Amidst the haze, one of the elders spoke up with a mix of determination and exasperation, "So, there you are..."
Liang Wei, momentarily pausing his attack on the fourth elder, turned his gaze towards the voice's source. It was none other than the seventh elder, the very same one he had injured and narrowly escaped from before ensuring Wang Chen and Su Ling's safety.
A smug smirk crept across Liang Wei's face as he observed the seventh elder clenching his teeth, brimming with anger at Liang Wei's taunting words. "Well, well! Have those old bones of yours healed already?" he sneered, reveling in the elder's visible frustration.
The seventh elder shot back with a fiery retort, his voice dripping with determination, "You got lucky last time because I let my guard down. But mark my words, this time you won't be so fortunate. I'll make sure your head rolls!" Casting a meaningful glance at his companions, he silently signaled them to join the fray, to give Liang Wei no quarter.
Meanwhile the fourth elder heaved a sigh of relief as the reinforcements arrived just in the nick of time. His life had been hanging by a thread, with Liang Wei's relentless assault pushing him to the brink of defeat. Stepping back from the fray, he watched as the five elders closed in on Liang Wei, forming a tight circle around him.
Earlier, Liang Wei's battle against the four elders only two of them had managed to survive the fierce encounter. They bore the marks of their struggle, visibly injured and fatigued. But now the fourth elder had believed that Liang Wei's demise was imminent. After all, how long could he possibly hold his ground against the combined might of five seasoned elders after fighting against the four elders?
Little did the fourth elder know, his assumptions were far from the truth. Unbeknownst to him, Liang Wei had not only absorbed their life essence, but had also harnessed its power to replenish his own strength. Rather than succumbing to exhaustion, Liang Wei stood at the peak of his abilities, Fearless and resolute. He could have run away before the reinforcement arrived but he stayed to carry out his plan and to deal with the situation as soon as possible.
The battle erupted with a resounding clash as the seventh Elder, seething with rage, launched a relentless assault on Liang Wei. The air crackled with anticipation as the remaining four elders, fueled by a shared determination, joined the fray, their combined attacks aimed at overpowering their elusive adversary.
Liang Wei, agile and swift, moved with an otherworldly grace, evading the onslaught of strikes directed towards him. Each movement was executed with precise timing, his body weaving seamlessly through the chaos of combat. His senses heightened, he anticipated every attack, his instincts honed through countless battles.
Amidst the flurry of blows and counterattacks, the seventh Elder grew increasingly frustrated by Liang Wei's elusive nature. He sneered, his voice dripping with contempt, "Are you nothing more than a mouse, scurrying and dodging? Cowardice runs through your veins, Liang Wei. If you possess an ounce of courage, face our assaults head-on!"
Liang Wei, his voice laced with determination, retorted while expertly sidestepping another incoming strike, "And yet, it is you who resorts to ganging up on me, unable to face me alone."
Liang Wei's movements were a mesmerizing dance, his body an extension of his indomitable will. Each dodge, parry, and counterstrike showcased his mastery of martial arts and his profound understanding of the flow of combat.
Meanwhile, the other four elders, undeterred by Liang Wei's nimble maneuvers, pressed forward with unwavering resolve. Their attacks came from all directions, a relentless barrage that sought to overwhelm their foe. Blades whirled, elemental forces surged, and the very fabric of reality seemed to tremble under the strain of their clash.

·ƈθm Minutes turned into hours as the intense battle reached a stalemate. Neither side could claim victory, their skills and powers evenly matched. Fatigue began to take its toll on both the elders and Liang Wei, yet none showed signs of surrender.
Amidst the chaos, Liang Wei's mind worked swiftly, his cunning strategy taking shape. With each dodge and feint, he inched closer to his ultimate goal - escape. Unbeknownst to his adversaries, Liang Wei had anticipated this outcome and had prepared a hidden trump card. From the start he knew he couldn't win against those combined forces of five elders but persisted this much because it was the easiest way for his plan to work.
As the clash continued, Liang Wei seized a moment of opportunity. Swift as a shadow, he swiftly retrieved a small dagger from his robes, its hilt adorned with an intricate purple gemstone. With a flick of his wrist, the dagger unleashed a billowing cloud of purple miasma, enveloping the battlefield in a shroud of mystic haze.
Caught off guard by the sudden obscuration, the elders momentarily faltered, their attacks losing focus. It was in this fleeting moment that Liang Wei seized his chance. Moving like a phantom, he slipped through the cracks of the battle, unseen and unheard. As the haze cleared, the elders realized their quarry had eluded them, disappearing into the depths of the shadows.
"Mayuri, you should show mercy to those little guys." Shisui said In a tone that Mayuri shouldn't feel bad.
Hearing Shisui words, Mayuri opened her arms, both Sasuke and Miles fell on the ground on their butt.
" Huff Huff...." Both Miles and Sasuke were panting heavily to grasp some air and Sasuke's condition was even worse. He couldn't even have the strength left to lift a finger.
"Y-You will be alright in the future as you face those attacks more." Miles tried to comfort his life and death partner Sasuke but his attempt to do that only made fear in Sasuke's heart towards Mayuri and he also started imaging Mayuri as a demoness who kills people by her breast and he thought he was the next target of her and a chill ran down on his spine thinking about it.
'I have to face more of those types of attacks? No, No I will never come to Miles house ever again if that demoness didn't find me she will get bored and change her target. Yes this is the best solution…. I will leave from here after eating the cake.' Sasuke made a firm decision to save his life.
He then looked towards Miles and said as he panted heavily , " Hey Miles, Do you remember your promise about the cake slices" He showed his three fingers to Miles and waited for his reaction and Miles nodded to it then Sasuke took a deep breath and looked towards Miles seriously, " From tomorrow we will not be friends anymore, okay ?"
'What the heck ? Do you think friendship is a one night stand which we made tonight and you will forget it tomorrow morning !' Miles was seriously disheartened since coming to a new world he made a first friend of his same age but that first friend betrayed their friendship before a day could pass.
"Okay, our friendship will be over from tomorrow." Miles spoke but he suddenly thought of something and then he continued speaking, " what a pity! I thought if I get a friend I will be able to share those sweets and pastries that I couldn't finish daily. But it seems like I have to eat alone."
What Miles said wasn't wrong. Mayuri made sweets, pastries and snacks for him daily but Miles was still a child whose stomach couldn't devour all that food so he left almost half of his food.
Listening to Miles' words , Sasuke's complexion became troubled as he was now confused about what he should do. Should he remain friends with Sasuke so he could eat those sweets or he should be the target of that demoness. It was hard for him to make a decision.
….
Mayuri puffed her cheeks and said, " I was only giving these little guys a lovely hug but you even got jealous of these little guys. And one of them is g..."
"Cough.. cough" Itachi cutted of Mayuri's last sentence as he doesn't want her to say it.
Shisui saw the situation and tried to divert the topic, " Okay okay we shouldn't delay any longer, it's time to cut Miles birthday Cake."
And he was successful in his attempt. As Mayuri went to Miles and picked him up, "Miles why a
