...The air of tension and fear that spread across the place...

Only one person could be responsible for this...

"It's not your faul...t... you did your best... I don't regret following you... It was the best venture of my life..." Teemee's voiced weakly while Gustav listened attentively. 

"I certainly would do it again if time was reversed... my only regret is not being able to continue this journey with you all... you guys are family to me..." A trail of tear leaked down Teemee's eyes as his blood soaked hand reached out to grab Gustav.

"Take my bloodline... I want you to put it to good use..." Teemee voice trailed off after saying this and his hands fell weakly as he finally let out his last breath.

Gustav stared at the massive charred hole in Teemee's chest and then proceeded to touch his corpse.

His face was still as expressionless as every as his fingers made contact with Teemee's blood.

[Does Host Wish To Extract This Bloodline?]

[Yes/No]

Everyone gaze remained transfixed on Gustav's position. It seemed like they couldn't get their eyes off him as he remained in place for a few seconds before finally standing to his feet.

Gustav moved towards Glade's corpse and performed the same action.

[Host Has Acquired Two Halves Of A Bloodline]

[Does Host Wish To Merge Them?]

[Yes/No]

At this moment, Gustav was no longer paying attention to the system notifications popping up by the left corner of his eyes.

He slowly turned around as a silent rage began building within him. The monolith which was a structure of great power and strength trembled as he stared at Orimon up ahead.

"Now that you have achieved your objective..." Gustav began stepping forward slowly.

"I hope you're prepared to meet your end in the most gruesome... painstaking way you can ever imagine..." The more Gustav spoke, the greater the chill that spread across space.

Everyone could feel an immense sense of dread spread across the vicinity that had them frozen in place.

Their eyes had widened in fear as a dark and horrifying gloom weighed on their figure. Gustav wasn't facing them directly yet, the fear they felt was indescribable.

They could only imagine how Orimon who was the target of all this negative energy could feel at the moment. 

"I will grant you a such decorative and merciless end that will make even the devil weep in sympathy..." Gustav kept speaking as he slowly stepped forward. 

The sound of his footsteps were incredibly haunting and sounded extremely loud yet gentle to everyone in the vicinity. Even participants from other groups who were approaching this area had paused in fear because they could all feel it...

The fear of death...

Orimon entire body quaked as his transparent skin produced sweat in great number. He couldn't even move an inch. All he could think at this moment was, 'This is the end,'

Not a single coherent thought made him feel he could escape things.

A veil of darkish red aura was being emitting from Gustav's body at this point. It looked like an ancient demon was awakening as it casted darkness across this already dark part of space.

Thrrrrihhhhhh~

Every single participant on the monolith wondered what was happening at this point since the monolith's quake was increasing in intensity. 

Gustav slowly reached out his right hand as he approached Orimon with glowing red eyes.

It felt like time was moving slow but the truth was not much time had passed at all. This moment just happened to be so intense and gut wrenching that every second felt like a thousand seconds.

[Unable To Calm Host Heart Rate!]

'I should stop him,' Aildris gulped down saliva as he recalled they could get disqualified for purposely killing another participant. 

Unfortunately, he was unable to take a step forward just like everyone. Sweat rolled down his back as his knees trembled.

Meanwhile, Gustav had arrived before Orimon at this moment and was about to make contact with him.

Zzhrrrrihhhhh~

All of a sudden Orimon vanished from his line of sight.

Gustav's eyebrows furrowed as he saw his hand grab thin air. He slowly turned to the side.

Zhrrrrihhh~ Zhrrrihh~ Zhrrriuhh~ Zhrrrihh~

Handlers had appeared all over the monolith in large numbers. One of them stood about twenty feet away from Gustav with Orimon in his grasp.

"Give... him... back..." A burst of wind spread forth from Gustav's being upon his utterance, causing the Handlers robes to flap furiously. 

They could feel the pressure Gustav's presence emitted and realised that things could get troublesome even with their arrival.

"Gustav Crimson, killing a participant knowingly is punishable by disqualification. Performing such an action is akin to the earth forfeiting IYSOP right now," The handler holding onto Orimon's figure voiced with a compelling tone in a bid to resolve things amicably.

"It doesn't matter... they will die and there is nothing you can do to stop it," Gustav's voice was like a divine mandate causing even the powerful Handlers to tremble slightly. 

'Such hatred filled eyes...' They were starting to doubt they would be able to get across to him.

Fwwhiii~

Gustav figure vanished and instantly reappeared before the Handler.

Bang!

A fist drove into the Handler's chest, sending him catapulting across space.

Everyone eyes widened as the spotted Orimon in Gustav's grasp.

"How did he...?" The handlers were in complete shock as well.

Orimon was shivering in complete fear as Gustav held him by the neck like a chicken.

"Now where was I?" Gustav voiced as he held Orimon up.

Swwooosshhh~ 

The Handlers swooped in immediately, all holding onto different parts of Gustav's body to stop him from taking Orimon's life.

"Don't do it Captain Crimson!" They voiced while activating their powers to trap Gustav in place.

"GET OFF ME!" 

A burst of dark reddish energy blasted forth from Gustav's being, crashing heavily into all the Handler's in the vicinity and sending them flying.

"What in the world? I was unable to imprint..." One of the Handlers muttered with a tone of shock as his body spiralled across space after the hit.

fwwwoosshh~

The Hanlders were pretty powerful so they had managed to stabilise their figures after sometime and began swooping forward once more.

However, Gustav had Orimon in his grasp and could end his life before they got to him.

Gustav raised Orimon and stared him deep in the eyes causing a new wave of fear to spread across his body. 

"No one is going to save you from me," Gustav stated as his hands tightened around Orimon's neck.

"K...P...." Orimon spluttered continously while Gustav raised his second hand to perform an action. 

Swwoosshhh~

A trembling figure appeared behind him and held his arm before he could completely his action. 

"Gus...tav..." The hold wasn't what stopped him at this moment, instead it was the female voice that had just called out his name.

"Teemee... wouldn't have wanted us to get disqualified... he would have wanted us to win for him..." Angy's entire body was trembling and sweaty but she managed to squeeze out of these words.

"Crimson! Crimson! Crimson! Crimson! Crimson!"

They had been completely astonished by this battle. It was way more spectacular and destructive than any other battle they had seen so far.

"Phew... What would have happened if Handler One didn't ask for the reinforcement of the barrier," One of the handlers stared at the destruction with a slight look of relief.

Six layers of barriers had been destroyed. Usually every stage had only five but Handler One had asked for this one to be reinforced with five extra layers after the battle began.

Had this not been the case, one couldn't tell how the entire arena would have been affected.

< Gustav Crimson (Planet Earth) Wins >

< 1400 Points Attained >

-"These two have to be the strongest captains for sure,"

-"Captain Kriv is the strongest physically even though he lost,"

-"How did Captain Crimson manage to win against that?"

-"Captain Crimson is a beast for sure,"

The spectators discussed about the battle as Gustav moved out of the stage while transforming back into his usual looks.

The spectators wondered if any Captain would have been able to survive such with Captain Kriv overpowered state. They couldn't imagine anyone winning even though they knew a couple of Captains were assumed to be ranked on the same level of strength. 

At the last few minutes of the battle, Gustav had substituted himself with one of his energy siphoning spheres.

Since he could conjure an empty energy sphere and make it invisible on command, he placed one quite a distance away and substituted with it when Captain Kriv was about to drive his fist into him.

This substitution technically changed the whole scenario since the sphere absorbed the force from Captain Kriv's punch and then detonated at Gustav's command.
