"Fine then. I'll choose that slot machine game" Ronx said pointing to the slot machine. "Since it is your realm, you will probably win all of the skill-based games that's why I am going to base it on luck."
"Luck? Quite brave" Henry said with a smirk. "However, what game you choose isn't of great importance as I will always win, no matter what."
"So you are cheating, then?" Ronx said, sharpening his eyes and looking at him with a suspicious gaze.
"Cheating? Of course not. It's a luck based game, it is impossible to cheat" Henry said with an evil smile, "However, I shall allow you to cheat as it is not cheating unless you get caught."
"Oh? You are quite confident aren't you?" Ronx said with a smirk, "Don't worry, I am not the type of cheat."
"We'll see" Henry said, approaching the slot machine. "Now, shall the game begin?"
------------------------------
As Alex and Anthony were searching for the enemy, glancing around the room for any sign, Alex felt a presence behind him but it was already too late as the enemy had already stabbed him using his dagger.
However, this was the first time that both of them had seen the enemy, who was back to his normal size, so Alex knew he couldn't let this chance go.
So he tried to slash him by turning a full 180 degrees but Cain jumped back, dodging the attack entirely. "Whoops! That was close, hehe!"
Alex immediately closed the distance by rushing straight at him, trying to slash him horizontally but Cain ducked below, going under the bed.
As soon as Alex looked below, he saw that the enemy had disappeared. However, Alex didn't care as he jumped onto the bed and stabbed the bed hundreds of times, piercing through the bed every time. However, Cain didn't make a noise of pain or even struggle which was impossible as no human could dodge that many attacks while lying down.
"This isn't an invisible enemy! It's something more complicated!" Alex thought. "Wait...can it maybe shrink?"
As soon as Alex turned towards Anthony, about to tell him the enemy's power, he saw that Anthony was bleeding all over and had several small knifes still deep in skin. He showed no sign of moving and it was clear that Cain had done this to him.
"ANTHONY?!" Alex yelled. "Shit. This is bad. Fuck, what do I do?!"
Suddenly, several knifes were thrown towards Alex however, he didn't move or tried to block.
"I am done with your bullshit" Alex said, stabbing the bed with his sword and taking up a stance.
He then muttered something, which suddenly caused both Cain, Anthony and himself to teleport somewhere.
All three of them were floating as if they were in space, even though they weren't. However, the next second, they teleported again, this time they were right outside of a dojo.
This was Alex's realm, "Realm of a thousand swords"
Anthony and Alex were standing on the stairs while Cain was five meters below them and was trying to climb the stairs but he barely could as he was still in his shrunk state.
"Wherever you are, the realm will find you" Alex said, calmly, looking around.
Suddenly, as soon as Cain looked above, he saw thousands and thousands of swords aimed right at him in all directions possible.
"What?! Wait! I'll surrender and-" Before Cain could finish his sentence, all of the swords launched straight at him.
He was able to dodge most of them since it was hard for the swords to attack him properly due to his small size.
"I'll escape! These weaklings won't be able to kill me! Not like this!" Cain said, running towards the trees, trying to escape.
However, those were still thousands and thousands of swords so he eventually got hit, the swords completely engulfed him and pierced him, instantly killing him right there.
As soon as all of the swords landed on the floor and no sign of the enemy, he sighed and deactivated the realm, instantly shifting his attention to Anthony.
"Fuck, Anthony!" Alex said, trying to wake him up and checking his pulse. "Ah shit, if only Elvis was here...don't worry I'll-" Before Alex could finish his sentence, Ana opened his door.
"Hey, you fucking bastard-" Ana stopped in her sentence, speechless as soon as he saw the horrific sight of Anthony. "WHAT THE FUCK?!"
"He's badly injured, we need to help him" Alex said.
"NO, NO, WHAT DID YOU DO?! WHY DID YOU KILL HIM?!" Ana yelled, slightly trembling.
"Kill?! No, you got it wrong, An enemy-" Before Alex could explain, Ana cut him off.
"Then explain those blood stains, you fucking bastard! You have them on your shirt and you are aiming your weapon right at him!" Ana said, about to cry.
"Will you fucking listen to me?!" Alex yelled, clenching his fist.
"I don't want to hear it!" Ana said, extending both of her arms, which caused gigantic vines to come out of her hands, engulfing the entire room with vines and plants.
"I knew something was wrong with you, asshole!" Ana said, trying to pierce Alex with thorns that she had created.
Alex dodged all of the thorn attacks, slashing them in the process.
He then charged straight at Ana, slashing any plant or obstacle in his way, eventually teleporting behind Ana once he got close enough, knocking her out with a karate chop.
"This will be troublesome to explain" Alex sighed.
As soon as he looked for Anthony, he saw that he wasn't there anywhere, he had completely disappeared. "Wait...where is Anthony?!"
The only clue was a blood trail.
