Location : Far From the Unknown Island
The surroundings were completely covered with water, it was literally like a place where an ocean existed, but while normally only the sound of the water waves should have been heard, there were strong wind sounds, small sonic explosions were occurring, and the waves were forming extremely fast and crashing into each other, and with their sound a chaos of noise was spinning. Over this huge ocean there was literally a tornado that looked like water and wind had merged together, it was truly a tornado that could swallow a city by itself, meaning it was a gigantic tornado. At the base of the tornado there were two objects spinning extremely fast, they were spinning so fast that they were constantly maintaining the formation of this tornado, meaning those two spinning objects were the reason for this tornado. Also, in less than every second there was a sound explosion, but it was a small explosion, and that sound explosion was disrupting the tornado, yet they were spinning so fast that they were restoring the tornado back to its original shape.
Richard (In his mind) : This bastard is approaching me at a terrifying speed! If he keeps adapting to me like this, I will definitely lose!
Richard was thinking while both spinning and running at a speed of 1915 meters per second, because the enemy in front of him was trying to completely adapt to him. The enemy he was facing was also in thought, but it was not about the battle. It was about the memories of the thirty-two demonic crows who sacrificed themselves in a ritual, and he had only one thought.
Corvadaptis (In his mind) : If these memories are not lies, all of my brothers who sacrificed themselves had a master who loved them. I think that person's name is Lucifer. If he treated my brothers well, then I must work under him. That means I must destroy this insect as soon as possible.
While Corvadaptis was chasing Richard, he opened his hand backwards, and then energy began to come out of his hand. Apparently, while Richard had beaten him a while ago, he had dropped his great sword. As that sword was slowly falling under the water, a red glow appeared. The sword began to rotate as if it were alive. The sword turned to the left and began to fly extremely fast in that direction. While it was under the water there was a sound as if something was moving incredibly fast inside the water. While moving extremely fast it finally managed to come out of the water. As it flew rapidly toward where Corvadaptis was, the sounds of wind impacts were heard, the wind was colliding against the sword as it passed over it. The sword dived into the gigantic tornado and immediately reached perfectly into the hand of its owner. Normally, the chance of the sword catching up to the speed Corvadaptis was moving at was extremely low, but this sword literally went perfectly to the exact point where Corvadaptis would arrive and settled into his hand.
Corvadaptis (In his mind) : Good. Since Ryona has returned, I can now face long-range attacks more easily.
Richard immediately understood the moment that sword reached Corvadaptis's hand. He sensed a threat from that sword. That was why it was time for him to make his first move.
Richard : Sound Bullets.
With all the sounds forming around, he managed to create many bullets. Exactly fifty-one sound bullets were formed. Each of them began moving extremely fast directly toward Corvadaptis. Corvadaptis planned to cut the incoming bullets with his sword. Tightening his grip on the sword, he swung it. One swing cut one sound bullet, but there were still fifty more bullets approaching him. At that moment he immediately began swinging and slashing around. But he was swinging in such a way that it looked as if countless lines were forming around him. Also every bullet either came in a way that it would be cut in half, or in a way that two thirds of it would be cut. But there was one problem: how was Corvadaptis able to cut these sound bullets? Because of the sword he used. This sword called Ryona has the purpose of cutting anything that carries attack or hostility toward its user. In other words, if an attack is directed toward Corvadaptis or if something intends harm to him, the sword called Ryona will cut it.
Richard : Hahaha! Now I understand! That's why at that moment you didn't say that this sword would cut my life! I thought you were talking about my life, but you meant my technique!
A terrifying look appeared on Corvadaptis's face and he began to smile.
Corvadaptis : If you have the guts, fight me up close!
Richard was smiling slightly from the stress. Spinning extremely fast, he moved right next to Corvadaptis. Richard was slightly bent, but his fist was aimed at Corvadaptis's face. Richard drove his fist into Corvadaptis's face at an extremely high speed. The punch was so powerful that several of Corvadaptis's teeth shattered and flew out of his mouth. His nose looked like it had been pushed inward, and one of his eyes was almost coming out. Corvadaptis was blasted backward out of the tornado, and the base of the tornado was completely disrupted. While Corvadaptis was flying backward, Richard began controlling the tornado. The gigantic tornado was gradually shrinking and also becoming round. Each time it shrank it moved toward Richard's hand, and each time it got closer its sound increased slightly. It looked as if a sphere was covering Richard's right hand. His hand was visible, but it looked as if it was wrapped by a tornado.
Richard : Sound and Wind Pressure Punch!
While Corvadaptis was flying backward with his back turned, he slammed both of his feet powerfully toward the water. Huge waves formed from the water as Corvadaptis slid backward. In less than a second he completely stopped his momentum, and while standing on the water, blue colored things were covering his shattered face. That blue liquid was the color of Corvadaptis's blood. Once a lot of his blood spilled onto the water it slowed down and began falling drop by drop. While Corvadaptis's face looked completely shattered, in one second his face returned completely to normal. At that moment it was understood that Corvadaptis had adapted once again. But just as he finished adapting, Richard was already preparing to swing his fist in front of him again. In just one or two seconds he had already reached Corvadaptis. Richard swung his fist again, but this time toward the place where Corvadaptis's heart was. But the punch he threw was so powerful that Corvadaptis's chest looked like this: when a hole opens in a pool, the water begins flowing toward that hole and after a while it starts to look like a whirlpool. Corvadaptis's chest looked exactly like that. The moment he was hit, tons of blue liquid started coming out of Corvadaptis's mouth as if he were vomiting. And the moment Richard threw that punch, Corvadaptis's sword fell into the water. When the sword fell into the water there was a light sound, the sound of something falling into water. As the sword sank underwater there was a crimson glow, but it was slowly fading.
Richard : Raise the Rhythm.
His fist was still touching Corvadaptis, but as he began hitting harder, Richard raised his punch to a deadly level. He had increased the rhythm of his heart to a level no one could endure. He was increasing the speed of his heartbeat to the point it was almost at an explosion level. Corvadaptis, however, could do nothing in his helplessness because in order to adapt he must not take damage for a certain period of time. That was why Richard was performing these deadly combos. Because if Corvadaptis adapted, the probability of Richard's defeat would increase. Normally if Corvadaptis had not adapted, Richard's chance of losing in the first attack was ten percent, but now it had become forty or fifty percent. Richard stepped one foot forward and began pushing his punch harder as if to throw Corvadaptis forward. Just as he sent Corvadaptis flying backward, Richard immediately followed the momentum he had given him and unleashed a rain of punches on Corvadaptis. Every time Richard punched Corvadaptis another blow followed. He was punching so fast that exactly fifteen punches were hitting Corvadaptis. At that moment Corvadaptis had only one thought.
Corvadaptis (In his mind) : This is bad! This is bad! I dropped Ryona because of this insect's powerful blow! If this continues, I will lose!
Corvadaptis became completely unable to do anything under this rain of punches, while Richard was getting closer and closer to victory.
Richard : Come on, adapt if you dare, you devil who has eaten courage!
Richard (In his mind) : Now that I realize it... For some reason I can't hear any sound from the island... No way! Zach has lost! Impossible!
Just when Richard realized Zach's situation, his punches began to speed up even more. The reason they were speeding up was because he needed to go to Zach as soon as possible. But strangely, cracking sounds were coming from behind him. It was as if the air behind him was breaking apart. The moment that crack fully formed into a hole, a person wearing black wild west clothes appeared. There was a black mask on his face, behind the mask he had a dirty beard, and on his head he wore a gambler cowboy hat. In his hands he held a sniper rifle. When the rifle fired, instead of a loud explosive sound, it was an extremely silent shot. The bullet completely pierced through the area where Richard's spine and heart were. A hole large enough for an adult's hand to easily enter had formed. The bullet would have continued, but the sniper transferred jade-green energy into it. Just as the bullet was about to hit Corvadaptis, its momentum stopped in the air and it fell into the water. The moment Richard was shot, his punches toward Corvadaptis stopped. As he was slowly about to fall, he slightly turned his head and saw the person who shot him in the night...
Revenant : I told Lucifer it would almost be dawn, but it seems it's still night.
The one who shot Richard from behind was Revenant. The moment the attacks stopped, Corvadaptis immediately began excitedly waiting to adapt. But before adapting, all the blows had almost turned Corvadaptis into particles, and his entire body was covered with the blue liquid, his blood. Corvadaptis instantly adapted and all the wounds he had taken disappeared within a second. He immediately called back his weapon by opening his hand, and the sword came out of the water at terrifying speed and returned to his hand. Then he pointed it toward Revenant.
Corvadaptis : Who are you?
Revenant frowned while looking at Corvadaptis and placed his weapon back on his back.
Revenant : Lucifer said that your survival is the most important thing, that's why I saved you, Cuervo.
Corvadaptis immediately jumped toward the crack to speak with the person he had seen in his brothers' memories. Revenant stood up and walked ahead to show the way to Corvadaptis. Corvadaptis began following Revenant, and at that moment the crack slowly closed.
In the battle that occurred on the Unknown Island, the winner of the battle between Zach and Lucifer was Lucifer. In the battle between Richard and the forty-one demonic crows, Richard slaughtered nine of the demonic crows. The battle between Richard and Corvadaptis was interrupted by Revenant, meaning Corvadaptis had won. As for the defeated ones: Zach is not heavily injured but is unconscious, and he is on the Unknown Island. Richard's condition is life-threatening, and he has fallen into the ocean and is slowly sinking deeper. His location is twenty-nine kilometers away from the Unknown Island, sinking into the depths of the Voidness Ocean.
