The Mysterious Black Magician

With his face on the cold canvas of the stage and a sword protruding on his back, Kiko was lying on a pool of blood with his hazy eyes looking somewhat exhausted.

He wondered how everything transpired in a weird turn of events.

Kiko was confused, couldn't understand, and could not believe what had just happened.

In these seconds, his vision started to blur. Blood continued dripping out of his mouth and of the wound where the sword was still piercing.

His consciousness was fading. But before his consciousness faded away, he looked up at Yman's face. The guy had bruises on his face.

Oddly though, the bruises on him weren't as severe as he knew they were.

Kiko remembered Yman's face was in a more gore state than this after he repeatedly beat him just a moment ago. It was a satisfying feeling. But how come it seems like a dream only.

What the hell? The bastard was barely moving a second ago. Yet!

With hazy eyes, his mind tried to reassess what truly happened.

C-could it be… what happened a second ago is just an illusion? Is this man capable of using it?! Impossible! That is impossible! Illusion is a high-tier ability. Not a mere person like Yman could hope to learn it.

Although Kiko wanted to deny it, he could not find a rather factual explanation to deny it. But still, it could be something else. Kiko still chose to not believe it even though deep inside there's a part of him that agreed that it was an illusion ability.

When? When did it happen? 

Kiko then noticed Yman's arm. 'T-the cut was still there?!' He concluded that if perhaps it was an illusion ability, it happened after he cut his arm. It may have been that time when they were clashing as they moved around the stage.

However, what good it brings in knowing out when and how he got himself under Yman's farce. His state right now is grim. In just a matter of seconds, his fate of losing will be concluded.

Looking at his enemy, Yman smirked. The almighty Kiko looked so small finally. Yman didn't mean his literal size. He meant his ego. He moved closer to Kiko's head.

Kiko was barely moving, but there was displeasure in his face when he noticed Yman's action.

"Hm," Yman pondered. "I think it's the perfect time to crush his pride." After muttering this, he lifted his foot in front of Kiko's swollen and bloody face.

Kiko's eyes slightly widened.

In fact, what Yman plans to do could put him in danger. Maybe one of the VIPs will report it to Kiko's family. It will surely enrage the whole Sun Family.

Kiko wondered if Yman lost all his common sense. This guy wanted to challenge his family?!

But Kiko kicked the thought out of his mind when he noticed a sadistic smile on Ymans's face. The current Yman seemed not bothered by it.

Kiko felt frightened.

He would lose… he certainly will lose… he, the son of the prestigious Sun family, will lose to a mere person who had zero backing or not from a known family! The thought of it put a bitter taste at the tip of his tongue.

He summoned the last bit of his strength, trying to crawl away.

"Fufu," Yman seemed fascinated by his actions.

The spectators, especially Kiko's friends, could not believe what was happening.

Kiko stopped moving suddenly. "W-What the hell am I doing?" He asked in a quaky lamenting voice. "I, the son of the great Sun Family, was trying to run away from his opponent?" He asked, bewildered with his action. "When did I become such a pussy?"

"T-This action is a big disgrace to the Sun Family! No. No matter if I lost or not, I can't turn my back towards my enemy. That was a cowardly act."

Moreover, he tried to run away from HIM?!!

The mere thought of it put a sting in his stomach. In short, he could not stomach it! 

Yman stopped for a moment as he heard Kiko mumbling. But soon his eyes widened when suddenly his sense of danger kicked in.

He leaped away without a second of delay.

BOOM!

An intense wave of mana burst out from Kiko's body. It hurled Yman away even though he already jumped a good distance from him.

Everyone stared at the stage with wide eyes and agape.

What happened? This is in everyone's mind. But before they could voice out their thoughts, there, they saw Kiko in an enigmatic state, standing once again. He was surrounded by an intense surge of mana at the moment. Weirdly though, the sword was still sticking on his back. But it seemed like he wasn't bothered by it. Kiko's eyes were all white either. He was screaming, "I can't lose! I can't lose…" repeatedly. His voice was strange, not the usual him.

Yman, on the other hand, his body was carried by the intense pressure towards the invisible barrier. He bumped there like a gecko on the wall.

"This is…"

In the VIP room, Adam Praeter muttered with a clear indication of great surprise and bafflement.

"Sir, that— do you think—" Sunday called out, but her words could not finish, and it seems she wasn't certain of what to say.

Principal Mar Mari felt something was unusual. Beside him, Principal Kim was grinning secretly.

'Hehehe. He finally drank it. That's good Kiko Sun. Now, it's time to wreak havoc! Hahaha!'

As Principal Kim said, Kiko drank the Divine Sinner's Blood.

His grinning face turned broader when suddenly, *Toot!* He received a message. There was a dark shade on his face when he pushed upward his seemingly gleaming eyeglasses with his fingers. But, it was truly a reflection of light coming from his MTMD.

The stage around Kiko collapsed, making an evolving crater.

Yman fell on the broken stage. He got up and glanced ahead of him. There was a surprised expression on his face. He didn't expect that the enemy still had so much to show.

Kiko's muscles started to swell, shredding his garb. It seemed like he grew bigger as well, undergoing an unexpected transformation.

After a few seconds, his figure was completely different now. His blonde medium hair becomes long and the color is like the color of fire. His eyes were all white. His body was stone-like in color. The most striking factor in him is the power he was exuding. It seemed as though he was a completely different person.

"What the—!" Yman's words stopped at his throat because of the sudden appearance of Kiko in front of him.

He just blinked once, yet Kiko was already in front of him!

Before Yman could move, his intuition was telling him to raise his guard. A strong backward slap sent Yman away, like a cannonball.

His body rolled and bumped on a piece of erect slab. It was a destroyed part of the stage. Yman's figure stuck on it Like a sculpture.

Fortunately, he raised his guard at the right time. Still, his only arm bent in the wrong direction. A great amount of blood spurted from his mouth.

Yman unstuck himself. And wiped the blood on his face. Even though he was badly hurt, you couldn't find a pained expression on his face. As though he was a robot that couldn't feel pain. But in truth, he could feel pain. Just that, he didn't know how to show it on his face because the one controlling his body right now wasn't Yman himself. It was Sistela.

To get rid of the cause of his stomachache, Yman turned into spirit mode and wandered inside his body.

He was killing bacteria in the form of monsters. They weren't ordinary bacteria as normal bacteria would not survive inside a body of a person with mana. They were mutated bacteria.

Everything in the world mutates with the appearance of mana. That of course includes bacteria. Well, they needed to adapt too to their new environment.

While Sistela was facing Kiko, Yman was also facing a very big bad bacteria.

He already got rid of many small ones on his way here and now he was in front of a very big one. It must be the boss.

The bacteria in front of him had a long slimy body like a worm. It has three heads and each of those heads fires different types of acid. There's no doubt that it was the cause of his stomach ache.

Thanks to the spiritual form that he acquired from that contracted demon, he could visit inside his body like it was his domain. Unexpectedly though, it was Sistela who proposed such an idea to him.

Nonetheless,

WRING!

Yman summoned a giant chakram and threw it towards the boss bacteria. A rapid spinning sound echoed. Any damage they cause could be restored later on by Yman's healing ability as long as he got rid of the cause of his disease.

The giant chakram completely beheaded one of the heads. It was the head that could fire Toxic Splash.

From the cut, purple color blood sprayed away like a fountain.

Two heads remained.
