"TOORGAA!"
The shout reverberated the plane as Lyon raised one of his eyebrows before glancing over at the guy that he slapped in the face with his tail. A punch may break your bones, made bruises on your body, leaving you bedridden for days, but a slap would directly hit your soul and pride altogether. One could have a thousand sleep and a thousand medicines but even time would have a difficult time to heal such wounds.
"GRRRR! RA!"
Lyon smirked as he was about to dodge the incoming figure that leaped like a bullet before his eyes opened wide at the dumbstruck silver-haired woman behind him.
"Tch!"
He furrowed his eyebrows before pushing Sylviana away instead of dodging the incoming raging youth.
"Ah?!"
(Lyon!) screamed Sylviana in her heart as she was pushed away before watching his smirk being blown away together with the raging youth.
Lyon was pushed through boulders after boulders without stopping before the former gritted his teeth and used Kaiju's weight to slam him to the ground. He didn't waste any time before pinning him down and launched his rifle-like fists against his face.
"Guha!"
Blood was churning out of Kaiju's face as the former rose the speed of his punches to the point that its own shadow couldn't keep up. Lyon didn't show any mercy as both of his arms moved to the same spot without an inch of miss. Even an expert that spent their entire life perfecting the perfect set of punches would kneel with their heads on the ground.
*Crack!
Lyon didn't notice that they were on a thick cliff and the punches he made trembled the very foundation of the ground they were on. Kaiju's face was further embedded to the ground without any mercy from the former, though he was the one with the red hair, Lyon was the one that looked like a devil.
(Who is this guy?! Why is he so strong despite being so weak?!) thought Kaiju as he could only take a peek at Lyon's face before one final blow sent the whole cliff crumbling down.
"Gah!"
This was the only chance he had to get away from the little monkey that had strength like a god. The gravity was on his side as he could easily get away from his grasp. He needed a breath to think for a counter, however a black tail that he get to know with his face coiled around his waist to his disbelief.
"You!"
"Me."
Lyon smirked before he slammed Kaiju's figure against the wall with a force that knocked out one of his teeth. The former immediately grabbed the back of his head before pushing it against the wall and dragged his face down as the gravity pulled both of them down to the deep black gorge that they didn't even notice.
"Don't get cocky!"
Kaiju punched the wall before propelling himself backward and got away from Lyon's tight but small grip. He didn't let the chance go away before he let out his own fist against the man that had the upper hand in the battle.
"Heh,"
Lyon smirked before he casually parries the incoming fist that was one hundred times slower than the speed at which a bee flapped its little wings. However, Lyon immediately creased his eyebrows as soon as his right forearm didn't manage to slightly push away the incoming fist because of the heaviness that he shouldn't have felt.
*Boom!
Kaiju's face buried his face with a clean hit before the latter was sent down like a bullet, destroying a falling boulder in the process.
Lyon landed with a massive crater on the ground before he let out a wry smile, "This is bad, I'm reaching my limit here."
He could feel the golden mana surrounding his figure was diminishing at a rapid rate. He shook his head before transforming back to his mortal form. There was nothing but a waste of energy in maintaining the imperfect state since his opponent was a natural fighter.
*Thud
Kaiju landed on both of his bare feet right in front of Lyon. His face was not his best as blood and bruises accompanied what once a handsome face. His red hair was fusing with dust and the white garb he wore that symbolize divinity was torn apart, revealing some of his contusions that were the result of a shock that pulverized a forest into ashes.
Lyon smiled as he struggled to get up using his knees. He slightly patted the dust out of his pants before crossing his arms and spoke.
"It seemed like we fell into a place where we shouldn't be."
He lightly stretched his neck as he noticed the surrounding was dark even the walls had a darker shade than those above. The atmosphere was chilling to the bone and was almost comparable to the woman-made winter forest from before.
"Hmph! That's what a loser would say! Nothing but excuses! I see that you have run out of gas, but don't think that I will show you mercy."

Kaiju had not used a single one of his art yet. He was certain with the way Lyon was, one single art of his could definitely cripple the latter a thousand times over.
"Heh, hahahaha!"
Kaiju was laughing at the top of his lung as the endorphins inside his brain released at a significant rate. There was nothing but satisfaction on his face as he caught the rat on its last corner.
"Those women will know once I eliminate you! How you scream like a dog before you were thrown out! Let's see which one is faster, you better pray the vortex is or you will be spending your time being a vegetable!"
(C'mon! Let me see you bathe despair! With your weak cultivator, you shouldn't be here! You shouldn't be here at all!) thought Kaiju.
"Those women? OH?! Are they here?! Nice nice!"
"...What?"
Contrary to what Kaiju had thought, Lyon was actually nodding with smiles on his face. It was probably the happiest fast a man could have in fighting that intense. ( I see, so Luna and the others are here! Well at least in the same world, the Blue Continent!) thought Lyon. It had been a long time since he met Luna, the woman he shared some happiness with, though, the end was not how he expected it to be.
"Goddamnit Fenrir! Things wouldn't have to go this far if you just lend me your tail!"
Lyon was speaking to himself before Kaiju further gritted his teeth. The veins on his lean figure were fueled with rage before they bulged and challenged his skin. His eyebrows furrowed like a sword as his eyes stretched open wide to the maximum. His pupils grew thin as his fists were trembling with mana surrounding it.
"Huh?"
Lyon straightened his spine as he squinted his eyes before slowly crossing his arms once more.
"I will destroy that annoying smile of yours!"
"That has to wait for a little."
"What?"
"Kukuku!"
A third voice entered their conversation. The eerie laugh was echoing inside the gorge and out. Kaiju Loh felt a cold chilling bone approaching his figure before his eyes opened wide. His arm was suddenly grabbed before the mana that he gathered instantly vaporized faster than water landing on a hot iron.
"W-What?!"
Kaiju didn't even manage to turn around and looked at the being that did the impossible.
"Let's not be hostile now."
The words whispered in his ears were not filled with killing intent but the power contained within made his knees weak in an instant. He couldn't believe what's happening to his body before he knelt down and was sent against the wall with a resounding boom.
"Gah!"
He could feel his arm was broken from the impact. He couldn't believe someone as strong as that went unnoticed in this plane.
"Kukuku, not bad Kaiju Loh, not bad, your nickname of Heaven's Son surely befits you."
"Tch! Who are you?! Show yourself!"
"You have what it takes to win if your mind didn't work like an eight-year-old."
"You!"
*Boom!
Kaiju didn't manage to see what's happening before his other arm was broken so easily. All the sweat and blood he gave meant nothing toward the incoming force before he wailed in pain.
"Your body is good, good foundation, not to mention your bloodline. I will keep you alive for now. However.... kukuku! You are the one I'm interested in the most, young man! Not even in my presence that I could feel any fear coming out of you!"
Kaiju strugglingly looked at Lyon who was still maintaining his confidence. He knew that the latter had run out of gas but. (Why! Why is he still having that smirk of his!) thought Kaiju who was already giving up to fight against the figure that hid under the blanket of darkness.
"I've become too famous that a rotting being like you also wanted my body? Heh, please, this body only serves kingdom toppling beauties!"
