Death

"let's see how good you've become, shall we?."

"Tch!, damnit Lucas, are you gonna toy with me till the very end? Damn you.. Damn you.... "

"Ehhhh? Whatcha yapping about you ungrateful prick!, I spared your life and gave you a chance to fight me shouldn't you atleast show that you're actually thankful."

" Shut up.. you didn't kill me because you want my death to be a slow and painful one, you know about the bomb don't you? Why aren't you escaping... Do You really intend to humiliate me until the very end?!! Do you think I'm not capable of killing you? Are you still looking down on me?."

"It's not like I'm looking down on you, you can't actually kill me even if you were few levels above your current self you know! .

Honestly... I.. I'm tired of this shitty life... It's not like Marcus was going to leave me anyway... He might send the higher up's to find me so there's no point living like a fugitive... Welp! Since I'm dying today I might as well have a little bit of fun." Lucas answered, his expression a little bit sad but he quickly brushed it off.

Levi looked at him with a complicated look, like he was trying to suppress his anger and at the same time he could relate with what Lucas was feeling.

' this is actually what I've always wanted right? To fight him once and win him, so why do I feel a little bit hesitant? My instincts are telling me to run but I don't want to, ...just this once I want to beat lucas.'

"Kekeke... You sure you ain't making a mistake Lucas? I'm not the same Levi you used to know." Levi commented with a smirk.

"That so? Then I guess I'll go all out then." Lucas replied releasing a palpable killing intent as his smile deepened and his face took on a slightly perverted look. " Don't die easily ok?."

.....

" Marcus, are you sure you're making the right choice, you're going to lose all members of squad zero and they're currently the best among this current generation."

" Asher, I'm fully aware of what I'm doing... Lucas dug his own grave, there's no use keeping a hound that will eventually come back to bite it's master besides,... besides him there's an unusual talent among sqaud zero." Marcus replied, turning around to face the well dressed man with a full beard and several scars across his face spamming from his bald head to his cheeks.

The man Asher was a high ranked weapon master who was also known as the blood mercenary he was infamous because of his sure hit attacks, which has never once missed their target, however unlike Marcus he was only cruel on the battlefield where blood needed to be spilled.

" Hmmmm, another talented one besides Lucas? How amusing, I've never heard of another talented one besides Lucas in the 7th generation." Asher replied with a perplexed look.

" Precisely what I'm indicating, you don't know of him because he's always been covered by Lucas shadow, the person I'm talking about is Levi or squad zero's vice leader -B2, that child uses his brains rather than his fists in a battle, I've been observing those two battles and Lucas.... he seems to go crazy during an intense fight, his bloodlust becomes extremely high and then he just looses all reasons and gets into a state of excitement to spill blood compared to him Levi's technique is a natural counter against his, since Levi forgets his surroundings and has only his opponents in sight, it's a very complicated but effective technique.. ha! let's see who'll emerge victorious, the brawl or the brains."

.....

" Gah!!" Levi uttered in pain as Lucas landed a heavy punch on his ribs, causing him to cough up a mouthful of blood, Levi tried to remain standing but he couldn't. Eventually falling to his kneels Levi looked up only to be met by a kneel hitting against his face.

He gasped as he flew backwards slamming the wall with enough force to crack it.

" Get up Levi, you still have four unbroken ribs left and a lot of undamaged body parts... Don't tell me this is all you've got? " Lucas questioned with a twisted expression "we've still got two more minutes before the explosion, hehe come on get up get up Levi, I'm having so much fun kuha~ hahahaha, so hang in there alright..., hang in therreeee!! "

" Fucking bastard, it hurts... Damnit, damn you LUCAS!!!! "

"Yes! That look, I love that look, they say opponents communicate to each other in a battle using fists, Levi, let's understand each other better, ok? Hehe" Lucas yelled in a deranged manner dashing forward with an insane amount of speed which caught levi off guard.

" F–Fuck!" Levi muttered before focusing all his attention on Lucas, discarding his surroundings but even with that he was barely able to dodge Lucas punch.

'Tch, was he trying to blow my head off with that attack, Lucas just what are you!'

" Oh you dodged that? I've noticed this for a while now but you've been reacting nicely to my attacks, You... Finally created a technique didn't you?."

'....Shit, he found out, how do I attac...'

"Anyway I've got to end this fight now we're running out of time and your moves are getting pathetic." Lucas said, interrupting Levi's thoughts.

"Huh?..."

*POW!!*

A punch landed on Levi's face once again, this time he couldn't even see it, much more react to it despite his technique, the speed of the Punch exceeded what his eyes could follow.

Before he could collect himself Lucas drew closer shortening the distance between them, instinctively Levi moved backwards to create a little bit of space while throwing a kick towards Lucas ribs.

Lucas blocked it and quickly followed with an upper cut.

" Keuk!." Levi uttered as he flew backwards, the Punch was insanely heavy but Levi was a bit relieved that the impact of the Punch was able to push him backwards creating enough distance between him and Lucas, just enough for an assassin of his caliber to escape,now if he's just able to lean backwards a little bit he'd be able to use the building walls to his advantage and escape... Or so he thought, before he could crash successfully Lucas threw himself forward while delivering several punches so fast that Levi couldn't even see it.

within that moment Lucas threw the punch, Levi's brain numbed then a wave of intense pain flooded his brain.

The amount of punches Lucas threw was roughly around forty seven fists within a very short amount of time, it was a move the blood mercenary created in order to leave his opponents in an intensively painful state. The impact from the fist, if done correctly shatters the bones of the victim and severally damages the muscles simultaneously, this then send various jolts of pain to the brain within that short amount of time.

"Gah, H-Heuk... A-Ahh... K..Koek..." Levi uttered in pain making various sounds as blood began dripping from his eyes and nostrils.

Gasping for breath, he managed to crawl to the wall of a building, retching and spilling bits of his organs mixed with blood as he tried to sit up.

"D-Damnit, god..dam..it, Lu..cas you bloody bas..tard... T.. That was Asher's tec..unique.."

"Yeah.. it was, congrats Levi.. I'm surprised, even though it wasn't enough to push me to my limit, you did manage to stress me quite a bit." Lucas replied, walking over to the wall where Levi was leaning.

" S..Shut u.up, I.. don't ne..need your use..less f..flatte..ry, we b.both know.. you didn't go a..all out."

"Don't mistake something here, if I had used my technique to the max you'd have won or still lost perhaps, but your chances of winning would have increased cause I'd have been fighting recklessly without care of what happens around us and if I'd managed to defeat you I'd have gone on a killing spree, I don't want that, still the effects of restraining myself was quite huge." Lucas said with a mild grin pointing to his eyes which were dripping droplets of blood like tears, before proceeding to sit down.

"Oi, Levi tell me something, what episode is one piece at right now? I know you secretly watch animes also."

" H..How the fuck a..am I sup..posed to.. k.now you shit face... W..Well it's ep..isode 1101 I g..guess. "

" Ha, I knew it.. you were an otaku also, hehe, we would have gotten along if you weren't a sadistic psychopath."

"L..Like yo.. you're o..ne to talk.. yo.u g..god.da.mn bas..tard, I'll be se..eing y..ou.. in hell." Levi cursed before falling to the ground.

" Haha, crazy bastard... He really used his last breath to curse at me... Ah fuck, it was a shitty life.. but at least now... Now I might see my family again, hmph I'd have really loved to try a gojo cosplay atleast once and maybe see the end of one piece... Lol I really am a crazy bastard.. I'm about to die here and all I can think about is anime, well at least it was fun while it lasted."

Levi muttered with half a smile before the explosion he'd been waiting for arrived, destroying everything within it's radius with a sea of flame.
