The barber was standing in the middle of a parking lot even though there weren't any cars nearby and it was midnight. It was almost as if he was waiting for someone.
"At last, we meet," The barber said, his eyes looking directly at Kael, who was slowly walking towards him and had a grin on his face, excited to finally face a real challenge, a challenge that might kill him. "Kael falcon, I have heard many things about you."
"You're talking as if you were waiting for me," Kael said, sharpening his eyes.
"I was," the barber said, licking his lips. "...I wonder what your father would do once he finds out I killed you."
"After I killed your mother, I hid. Because I was scared of him. However, things have changed. I have gotten much stronger than your pathetic old father," The barber said while slowly approaching, taking out his comb.
Kael clenched his fists slightly and rushed at him, "You talk a lot for a barber," Kael said, his grin faded and replaced with a powerful killing intent. With a powerful punch, the barber was launched backwards. "How pathetic. This won't be even a fight," The barber said, his smile slowly fading as he had deemed the fight not exciting.
"I agree," Kael said, appearing behind him and landing a powerful kick that the barber managed to dodge easily without even looking. "Caspian was a bug in my path that I had to kill. However, you're weaker than him. So what does that make you? A speck of dust?" The barber said, slashing him from face to stomach, causing blood to burst out instantly.
However, despite getting slashed, Kael recovered quite quickly, launching a few fireballs at the barber, who instantly cut all of them into thousands of little pieces in a span of a second. "Disappointing. I'll end this now," the barber said, one of his hands behind his back while the other having his comb, which he used to launch a flying slash towards Kael.
The slash was extremely fast, however, Kael managed to just barely dodge it. "Oh? You're faster than expected," The barber said, launching a few more flying slashes towards Kael, which he dodged.
Kael took a deep breath and summoned his fire dragon, which flew towards the barber at an extreme speed, the shockwave of the initial takeoff causing cracks to appear on the ground. However, despite the extreme speed, the barber didn't even blink, he simply split it in half like a cake, causing the dragon to disappear. "Fuck it didn't work," Kael said to himself.
"Of course it didn't work," the barber said with a grin. "Who the hell do you think I am?"
"Your puny attacks are making me laugh," the barber said, appearing in front of Kael and slashing him several times while having his body in the complete opposite direction.
The sudden, powerful slashes made Kael vomit blood and get on his knees. "This is the difference between you and me," the barber said, about to land the finishing strike. However, before that, Kael used his ring of fire to trap the barber with him. "Wow...you trapped me...that's what you think. However, you simply trapped yourself," the barber said.
"No. Look behind you," Kael said with a grin.
The barber turned around and saw Maxwell approaching him. "Another speck of dust? That makes two," the barber said, not having much of an reaction.
However, that would soon change as Mateo suddenly dropped down from the sky, coming out of nowhere. "I brought some friends over," Kael said with a evil grin, licking his lips. "I hope you don't mind, you fucking barber."
"Ah...why am I even doing this?" Maxwell said with a sigh, getting ready.
"Because I said so, Maxwell," Mateo said with a smile. "Sometimes people need a little push."
"Hm...I guess this would suffice," the barber said, dropping the comb and taking out a gigantic scissor, which was at least a meter long. "Are you weaklings ready for a haircut?" Asked the barber with a devilish smile.
"I am ready," Kael said with a powerful rage, his intimidating aura making even the air heavier. "Ready to beat your fuckin' ass!"
The barber licked his lips, excitement flowing through him. "He's evolving rapidly! He's getting stronger! Oh....! I love this! It's getting so exciting!" he thought.
Before Kael and him could rush at each other, Maxwell next to the barber, a trail of lighting behind him. "Let's finish this quickly," Maxwell, said, launching the barber several meters backwards with a backhand slap.
"I agree," the barber said.
