"Kum, kum, kum, kum …" As Sei Itō got closer, thin alloy plates that were two meters long, eighty centimeters wide, and less than one centimeter thick appeared in the air. They quickly fell to the ground and blocked Sei Itō's path.
However, under the full sprint of Ito Sei, who was running at full speed, he pierced through the afterimages left by Ito Sei a second ago and was nailed straight to the ground, becoming an alloy wall that blocked his retreat.
At this moment, Sei Itō finally broke through the layers of obstacles and landed in front of Bartlett. He gathered all the strength in his body and threw a [Half-step Collapsing Fist] straight at Bartlett's chest.
"Bam!" A muffled sound came from Bartlett's body.
"Sorry, I forgot to tell you. If you don't have the power to break through space in this formation, any attack that lands on my body is useless." Bartlett explained to Sei Itō who was frowning in front of him with a fake smile on his face.
As soon as he finished speaking, ripples appeared on Bartlett's chest like water ripples. Metal threads that looked like bouncing water suddenly emerged from his chest and pierced towards Sei Itō's fist and body like needles.
Feeling the piercing pain from his skin, Sei Itō immediately retracted his fist and stepped back from Bartlett.
"Give up. Hand over the key and I can give you a quick death." Bartlett said calmly with his eyes locked on Sei Itō.
"Hmph." Sei Itō snorted coldly and ignored Bartlett. He focused on dodging the sharp metal objects that kept appearing from the air and on the ground as he went around the office table and charged towards Bartlett again.
Perhaps Bartlett was too confident in his formation. Seeing Sei Itō charging towards him again, Bartlett didn't strengthen his attacks to stop Sei Itō's advance. Instead, he opened up a gap and allowed Sei Itō to reach him.
"You asked for it." Sei Itō also realized Bartlett was going easy on him and said coldly with a deep voice. Then, he focused his mind and coordinated his attack with his mind. He gathered all the strength in his body into a punch and threw out a [Half-step Collapsing Fist].
In an instant, the scene and feeling of a volcano that was about to erupt appeared behind Sei Itō and rushed towards Bartlett's body along with his fist.
"Fist Force?!" Bartlett was stunned and his expression changed for the first time. He said with a surprised expression.
"Boom!" At this moment, an explosion sounded and a violent shockwave spread out with Sei Itō's fist as the center. It was like a small tornado that blew wildly in the room.
On the side, Miss Lisa who had fallen to the ground rolled away uncontrollably in the wind.
"How shocking. I didn't expect you to cultivate China's martial arts to this level at such a young age. You're able to use a fist force that most people wouldn't be able to do in their entire lives. "Bartlett who wasn't affected at all said with a face full of praise.
"You're the one who's truly shocking. The leader of an unknown organization actually has this level of ability and you're not famous at all. The truth hidden under such secrecy is truly shocking." Seeing that his attack didn't work again, Sei Itō quickly backed away from Bartlett while looking at Bartlett with a mocking expression.
"Only by completely hiding oneself can one not attract attention. Only then can one do things that seem troublesome in the past." Bartlett didn't care about the mockery in Sei Itō's words at all. He said with a fake smile on his face again.
"No wonder the organization's name is Dark Moon. The leader's personality is like a reptile in a dark corner. How disgusting." Sei Itō continued to mock.
Bartlett wasn't angry when he heard that. Instead, he locked onto Sei Itō's figure with a smile and activated the formation's ability to summon all kinds of metal weapons from the void. He then shot them at Sei Itō's limbs.
Seeing that Bartlett wasn't moved by his words, Sei Itō stopped his mocking. He dodged the attacks that could come at any time while silently manipulating his heart and mind. Essence, Qi, and Spirit.
Following the movement of Sei Itō's mind, a blurry image began to faintly appear behind Sei Itō's back.
"Mind Manifestation?!" Bartlett, who had been maintaining the Eye of Truth, frowned and said softly when he saw that.
As soon as his voice fell, Ito Sei's figure seemed to have stepped through space. He suddenly crossed a large distance and came to the side of the desk. Then he took a step and twisted his waist to slash out with his hand.
Following this Chop, the blurry image behind Sei Itō suddenly exploded. It turned into a blazing fireball like an atomic explosion and slashed at Bartlett along with the afterimage of his arm.
"Creak …" With this attack, a sharp sound like a sharp weapon cutting through glass sounded in front of Bartlett.
"Mind Manifestation indeed!" Looking at the ripples that were still trembling in front of him, Bartlett's expression changed slightly. Bartlett's expression changed slightly. He looked at Sei Itō with a serious expression and said in a deep voice.
"I have to thank you for this. If it weren't for the pressure from your formation, I don't know how long it would take for me to perform this Six Directions Armor." Sei Itō grinned, satisfied with his attack.
"Looks like if I put in a little more effort, breaking the barrier in front of you and injuring you won't be difficult," Sei Itō said as he retracted his arm and looked at the spatial ripples in front of Bartlett that were gradually calming down.
"Indeed, I underestimated your strength. However, if you think you can break through my formation with just this, you're dreaming." Bartlett, who had recovered his fake smile, said flatly.
"Snap." Then, Bartlett snapped his fingers again.
Following this clear snap, two balls of mercury-like liquid substance suddenly appeared in the void and fell to the ground. Then, under the observation of Sei Itō who was quickly dodging the attacks from the other sharp weapons, they rapidly expanded and transformed until they finally turned into two silvery-white liquid humanoid figures with faint facial features.
Then, the two liquid humanoid figures raised their arms and two liquid machine guns quickly appeared in their hands. They aimed at Sei Itō who was dodging everywhere.
"Liquid Metal Robot? T-1000? "Sei Itō looked at the two liquid metal robots that were similar to the ones in the movie Terminator. Other than the fact that they didn't have artificial skin like the liquid metal robots, the two liquid metal robots that were almost exactly the same frowned.
"Ratatatatat …" At this moment, a series of gunshots suddenly sounded. Countless silver liquid bullets the size of soybeans shot towards Sei Itō's body together with the sharp weapons that were constantly falling from all directions.
"F * ck!" Sei Itō, who was already a little tired of dealing with the rain of sharp weapons, cursed silently when he saw this. He focused all his attention and began to dodge.
However, as the old saying went, "Constant defense is bound to fail." Therefore, after persisting in dodging for about a minute, Sei Itō's shoulders, calves, and arms had thin and long wounds of varying degrees.
Of course. If they were just ordinary wounds, they wouldn't do anything to Sei Itō. However, the moment the weapons left wounds on Sei Itō's body, they would suddenly liquefy and adhere to his wounds. They would then seep into his body bit by bit.
"My body is becoming sluggish," Sei Itō said with a heavy heart as he carefully sensed the condition of his body.
Although there was an energy seal around the wounds to prevent the liquid metal that seemed to have self-consciousness from invading his body, the strange substance secreted by the liquid metal still gradually affected Sei Itō's body. He felt that his body's reaction had become a little slower compared to before he was injured.
Under this influence, Sei Itō's body was once again intimately received by the two unkillable, indestructible, and almost impossible to get rid of as well as the sharp weapons around him. They left thin and long wounds on his body and liquid metal stuck to his wounds.
"F * ck, virtual domain, open!" At this time, Sei Itō, who was no longer going to hold back, cursed silently in his heart. He suddenly spread out his mental power to form a virtual domain that enveloped his body, forming his own personal field.
Under the influence of the virtual domain, the force that suppressed all the strange forces in Sei Itō's body finally disappeared, freeing Sei Itō's strength completely.
"Whoosh!" The next moment, a high-speed tornado suddenly rose from under Sei Itō's feet and wrapped around his body in the blink of an eye, sucking out the liquid metal stuck to his body.
"Your performance is getting more and more surprising." Bartlett squinted his eyes as he collected the tornado with liquid metal in his hand and condensed it into a high-speed spinning ball.
"I remember when my subordinates met you last time, you were still at B rank. I didn't expect that when we met again a few months later, you'd already become an A rank powerhouse. From the degree of control you have over it, it's obvious that you've been in A rank for a long time. Your talent really makes me jealous. "
"Hmph." Sei Itō, who had turned the tornado ball into a flame, snorted coldly and strengthened his mental power to support the virtual domain again. He expanded it to the size of the entire study room and invaded Bartlett's field.
"This level of resistance consumes a lot of mental power." Sei Itō thought as he felt his mental power quickly depleting.
Without hesitation, he teleported and appeared in front of Bartlett. He swung his palm at Bartlett's face.
At this moment, Bartlett's golden Eye of Truth flashed, allowing him to dodge Sei Itō's attack by a hair's breadth and retreat leisurely.
After his attack missed, Sei Itō felt his virtual domain tremble. A domain that was as solid as his own expanded from Bartlett's body, corroding part of Sei Itō's domain and connecting it to the field outside.
In an instant, Bartlett's domain changed from an illusory domain to a solid one, turning into a personal domain that only an S rank powerhouse could control. Then, Sei Itō's virtual domain shrunk back at a speed visible to the naked eye under the suppression of this domain.
"Uh-huh …" To some extent, [Domain] represented the spiritual image of the person who held the domain, so the confrontation of [Domain] was also a confrontation of spiritual power and spiritual will to a certain extent. Therefore, when the [Domain] was forced back, Ito Sei couldn't help but let out a muffled groan from his throat.
"Is this the power of an S rank domain?! The difference is huge! " Ito Sei, who was trying his best to stimulate his spiritual power to maintain the existence of the virtual domain and stop it from shrinking back, frowned and thought to himself.
"You should be proud of yourself for forcing me to this extent." Bartlett looked at Sei Itō who didn't look too good and chuckled.
"Damn it. I didn't expect the leader of a secret organization to be someone who could reach S rank through special means. Who would believe this!" Sei Itō cursed in his heart as he ignored Bartlett's words.
Then, he separated a strand of his consciousness and connected it to the Rubik's Cube. He transferred a strand of world energy to his virtual domain, causing it to evolve into a domain to a certain extent and resist the corrosion of Bartlett's domain. However, this way, his mental power that was already being consumed quickly was consumed even faster.
"Hmm?!" As soon as Sei Itō's side changed, Bartlett immediately sensed it from his domain. He frowned and said doubtfully.
"Hmm my ass!" Hearing Bartlett's doubtful words, Sei Itō roared and rushed in front of Bartlett with a temporary domain that was less than a meter in radius. He waved his fist that was wrapped in domain energy and punched at Bartlett.
"Zzz zzz zzz …" As the fist and Bartlett's domain barrier collided and eroded each other, a strange sound came from in front of Bartlett. It stimulated both Bartlett and Sei Itō's eardrums.
However, Bartlett's defense was the entire domain while Sei Itō's attack was on a single point. Therefore, after a few seconds, along with a clear crackling sound, the point where the two domains intersected suddenly shattered like glass and formed a chaotic space flow.
Sei Itō's fist finally landed on Bartlett's body for the first time after a certain amount of power was offset by the chaotic space and a few cracks were left on his arm.
However, Bartlett, who had the Eye of Truth and could calculate some information to a certain extent, blocked Sei Itō's attack with his fist first.
"Bang!" As a scholar-type expert, Bartlett, who didn't have much strength, was still forced back a step by Sei Itō's strength.
"Hehe, Bartlett, let's bet on luck." Sei Itō, whose forearm was still damaged by the chaotic space, grinned at Bartlett whose expression changed slightly.
