Ryker grunted, the craziness in his eyes grew as he placed all his attention on the chef!
He held two swords he grabbed off the dead waiters and swung it at the approaching quadramon!
The two swords came in contact with the four butcher knives.
Steel met steel and a sharp ring was released.
That one exchange happened so quick that before the customers could process it, they launched at one another once more!
Two times, three times, nine times! They exchanged blows like mad men, like relentless beast that don't know when to quit.
Ryker although only have two arms was able to keep up with the quadramon who wield four knives in his four hands.
However, it didn't last long.
By the 20th exchange one of the chef left hand knifes carved itself into Ryker flesh.
Ryker grunted, escaping his grasp but failed. The chef wasn't just an veteran player, he was also an experienced killer.
The chef kept himself close to Ryker, blocking all escape routes with his four arms ready to intercept wherever he goes.
Ryker had no other choice but to keep blocking but no matter how hard he tried, he just couldn't stop himself from being hurt.
"Such weaklings thought they could mess up my restaurant?" The chef sneered. Even though he was mocking Ryker he didn't stop is ongoing barrage at him. At the same time he kept his eyes out for Kai whose speed as a veteran player and experienced killer couldn't comprehend.
"Weaklings?" Ryker raised an eyebrow as he kept blocking. "You don't even dare let out your full strength. Why? Are you afraid me and my little bro will beat you up?" Ryker asked, his eyes fierce.
"You—"
"You what? You think I need my little bro just to deal with some four-arms garbage?" Ryker laughed as he once again raised his sword at the chef.
"What gives you the confidence to look down on me?!"
The chef wasn't even given a chance to retort. He roared as his hands become faster, his eyes going berserk.
"You're ugly ass face!" Ryker laughed, his sword blocking the chef butcher knives that were more ferocious as before.
Ten blows later Ryker chuckled. His Martial Dominator ability kicked in as once swing of his sword knocked away two of the chef butcher knives.
Shocked, the chef moved back to gain some distance but never in his wildest dreams would he think his opponent would abandon his own weapon to stop him!
Ryker threw one of his swords and it landed firmly into one of the chef shoulders that was still carrying a butcher knife. That shoulder immediately became weak and his hand holding that knife became numb.
"What did you do to me?!" The chef roared in confusion. He expected some kind of pain from being hit in the shoulder but all he felt was numbing weakness.
"I learn this from my little bro!" Ryker didn't explain, he only laughed as his remaining sword cut off the chef arm that still held a butcher knife.
The chef screamed, but at the same time his eyes went from berserk to cold. He took out an item and crushed it in his free hand. Disregarding all defense, he threw his feet up in an attempt to throw Ryker off his balance.
Ryker seeing this was shocked and confused as to why his opponent would do that. Still, as someone with the unique ability 'Martial Dominator' he didn't cower as he dodged out of the way and sliced his sword at the chef neck.
The sword cut at his neck but didn't even move an inch into it.
At the same time the chef cut off arm flew at Ryker before exploding into a bloody mist. Ryker easily avoided the explosion but was unable to stop the mist from blocking his sight!
The chef quickly got up to his feet, his cut off arm already grown back.
The customers seeing this began to whisper.
"That's a Heart's Treasure."
"So it's true, the quadramons really did ally with the Hearts Faction."
"If that's the case why haven't the chef reveal himself as a Handler yet?"
"It's not so simple. Once someone reject the Aces there's no turning back."
"Ah... so a Blanker cannot become a Handler. "
The chef felt his newly grown arm and turn to look at Ryker with a smile. "I didn't want to make this final decision, but alas you're too strong." He said as he walk over his knives towards Ryker.
"You want to brawl it out? That's my specialty!" Ryker got excited as he saw this. He dropped his sword to the ground and walked towards the chef.
The chef sneered seeing this. "Arrogant fool!"
"Since you want to die so badly then let me show you why were called quadramons!" He shouted as two of his arms that were on his left and right deflated.
The two arms as if possessed then swung around his remaining hands like a long bandage. He then punch the air at Ryker who was still approaching.
Ryker as if sensing some invincible threat dodged to the side.
Boom!
The air shoot right pass him into a wall before blowing it into bits.
The commotion immediately caused the customers to grow afraid.
"This is why quadramons don't need to become Handlers!"
"The quadramon cursed technique. By sacrificing their arms they can boost their remaining ones by four times!"
"Not just that, but it allow them to use their signature move Pressure Canon!"
Ryker seeing the huge hole in the wall gulped. "So your finally going all out!" He exclaimed.
"In that case, little bro!"
Kai who was studying the hand guns looked up with a bored expression.
"Big bro, you worthless idiot." Kai said as he got up and stretch his legs.
"I thought you said you could handle this trash alone." He grabbed the spear one of the waiters were using and felt its weight.
"Looks like I gave you too much credit." He nodded, pleased by the weight of the spear.
"Come on little bro! This is basically cheating. This ugly fella got like six times human bodybuilder strength right now!" Ryker rebuked as he watch the chef like an hawk, sweat dripping down his face as he had no confidence in dodging another pressure canon.
"No one is saving you!" The chef realizing things were about to get disadvantageous for him raised both his arms up at Ryker.
"Die!" He roared when a spear lunged into his face.
The force sent him flying into the distance before latching himself into a nearby wall.
He got up with his head bleeding. To him it wasn't much of an injury that would be lethal. Still, his face reveal shock as he turn to Kai with a shout of surprise.
"How! I studied you and there's no way such a limpsy body could exert such strength!"
"If strength alone could defy physics then we humans would just be like you people and walk a path that leads to death." Kai answered with lazy eyes.
He then took up one of the hand guns and threw it at the chef.
His action confused the chef.
He soon realized Ryker was taking cover.
At the same time he heard Kai's voice. "I don't know why you people carry such dangerous weapons around with you. One mistake could send off a mini explosion... anyways, Explode."
Boom! The hand gun shattered into pieces and the energy that created the red bullets let out a gas that soon caused an ignition that exploded around the chef.
Half the restaurant was blown up but no one was injured as they already moved far back to the other half of the remaining restaurant.
The smoke cleared and reveal the quadramon chef coughing up mouthful of blood.
Kai voice rang in his ears again. "You people are really ruthless. Not only can it create a mini explosion, but also the gas is infused with a potent poison. Anyone hit directly by the gas or red bullet would die a slow, corrosive death.
"Damn you..." The chef glared at Kai, still coughing up blood as his body soon corrode under the effects of the poison.
"If you didn't offend me and my big bro this wouldn't have happened." Kai said seeing the chef glare filled with hate.
His words caused the chef anger to flare. "Offend you? Have you forgotten who stared it?!" He shouted, raising his finger that was already melting off at Ryker.
"Trying to push the blame on others now?" Ryker chuckled seeing this, his eyes filled with a mocking glint.
"You... hypocrite!" He screamed as his eyes went mad.
Before his fingers completely melt off, he took out another item.
He then plunge his hand into his chef and removed his heart.
His actions caused Kai to frown.
With his heart in hand, he placed the item in his heart and the sound of a bomb about to detonate echo inside his heart.
"See you in spades purgatory!" The chef let out a mad laugh before crushing his heart.
Kai seeing this didn't try to escape. He just sat on the ground with his same bored expression.
"It was fun for a while at least."
The customers also realize they couldn't escape took cover.
Ryker clicked his and accepted his fate with a shrug.
Just then a voice like that of a divine decree was heard.
In the name of Clubs, in the name of Law, with the universes approval. I order all activities involved with the word 'explosion' to seize at once.
