...…

"Just remember that you can't kill him alright?" Simba said while stretching his neck left and right, creating some cracking sounds.

Zero nodded his head when he heard that while looking at Shin with caution. "So, we are not allowed to use any offensive skills? Well, I may admit that doing that is much harder saying it if you that was the case. Especially with this guy's current state."

He paused for a moment before adding. "Now, I really become too curious how did this guy have a mental disorder despite being inside the game. I encountered some people with similar cases, especially those lunatics in the Blood Carnival, but this is my first time seeing a case that reach this stage. Being unconscious but able to move unconsciously at the same time? That is very peculiar."

Simba shrugged his shoulders and said. "Well, one of the VR games that we played has a purpose of curing these kinds of disorders. Even if they failed in the end, mental disorders are quite suppressed due to some Martial-Art Practices together with what they have discovered on that game."

"Only some people with severe mental illness are the ones that are really problematic. And unfortunately, he is one of the latter cases. The good news here, this game also had that healing purpose in mind. Though it will also manifest the mental disorders of a player more frequently due to system program to that. Even a slight mishandle of their emotion might trigger their mental problems."

Zero clicked his tongue and said. "Tch! This is why I don't like this aspect of game. This is a game to train and improve the battle prowess of a player that will affect their life in the real world, not to cure some strange disease. And they are also putting more threats for the player's safety this way. Or they might even worsen it. Look at the people of Blood Carnival, they become even more problematic due to that system."

Simba shrugged his shoulders once again and said. "Well, at the very least, those person with those kinds of mental disorders are able to suppress their illness in the real world due to that. So, it is still quite helpful even for a bit."

And as those two were discussing with each other, their 'Aura Manifestation' were currently battling the ones that were made by Shin.

Roar! Roar!

The four beasts made by the Aura Manifestation by the three guys were trying to rip the ones on the opposing sides. And strange enough, the White Tiger and Black Panther at Shin's side were able to battle the Crimson Lion and Silver Griffin that were summoned by the two.

Bang!

Or at least until the two turned their attention back to him. It was because when Zero and Simba turned their heads at him, their Aura Manifestation suddenly became fiercer and attacked Shin's bestial auras.

With that, Shin started to feel that pressure that the two were giving.

And at the point that Shin wasn't able to endure the pressure anymore, he decided to make his move first. He immediately charged forward together with his swords that were either ignited with black flame or enhanced by a chilling glow.

"Here it comes," muttered Simba as he looked at Shin while griping his battle-axe with both of his hands.

Zero, on the other hand hopped sideways to put a little distance away from Simba while waiting for the right time to attack.

And when Shin was few meters away from Simba, the latter quickly swung his battle-axe downwards and in a very powerful manner. It was as if he was planning to cut the former's body in half.

And when Shin saw that, he quickly raised both of his swords while crossing them a little above him as he planned to block the incoming battle-axe.

Bang!

That heavy strike from Simba sent shivers on Shin's entire body after the latter received it. But Shin was quite a fast and clever enough to absorb all of the force hidden behind that attack before sending the excess forced that he couldn't handle towards the ground.

Crack!

Then a spiderweb-cracks were created underneath Shin's feet, and that extended for at least five-meter radius, with him being the center. After that, he squatted his hips a little to strengthen his center of gravity while putting more strength on both of his arms. Then he forced his arms to push the battle-axe that was pressing down on his swords together with the force the he absorbed earlier.

Shing!

And after successfully pushing the battle-axe in the air, Shin quickly turned his body around while sending a back kick at Simba's abdomen.

Simba tensed his abs to braced himself for the incoming kick, but before Shin's leg landed at him, latter quickly halted his kick before swiftly retracking it and redirecting his spin while jumping in the air as he swung one of his swords at Simba.

Since Shin moved a little too fast for Simba too respond, it was impossible for him to avoid the descending sword that was about to land on his head.

Clang!

Fortunately, a silver-colored longsword appeared at the path of that sword and blocked the descending sword of Shin.

And when Shin saw that, he quickly kicked the air below him to get away from the two with a couple of flips in the air. Naturally, Zero would give chase and would not let Shin to put some distance between them.

Given that, before Shin's feet landed on the ground, Zero already reached his front while swinging both of his silver swords forward.

Seeing the incoming swords and knowing that he couldn't block the it, much less counter it, Shin quickly kicked the air for another time to send him further to the black. But when Shin avoided that attack, Zero swiftly chased after Shin for another time.

Shin continue to back away from Zero, or at least he tried to get away from him. But no matter how fast he is or how hard he tried, he still failed to shake off the Sword God from his tail. And when the last aerial jump of the 'Mondi's Jump' was exhausted, he had no choice but to face the incoming sword slash head-on.

Swoosh!

Bang!

Shin was immediately sent flying towards the wall of the throne room by just trying to block one of those sword slashes.

After landing that attack, Zero didn't give chase for another time. He just stood there and looked at Shin's direction. He even blocked Simba who was about to rush towards Shin.

Simba frowned his eyebrows when he heard that. And when he turned his head at Zero and about to asked him why, he saw that the latter's right arm was currently trembling uncontrollably while firmly griping the longsword on that hand.

'Huh? What happened?' Simba was about to voice out this thought when Zero immediately said to him. "I think we need to use at least some of our basic skills to battle him. His current 'Sword Attainment' was not only the problem, that combat technique combined some strange powers, was also something problematic."

Zero paused for a moment before adding to what he had said. "If I am not mistaken, that Combat Technique is something derived from a high-ranking swordsmanship skill."

"Can't you we just use a combat technique of our own?" muttered Simba unconsciously while turning he head the direction where Zero sent Shin flying.

"Heh! Sure! That is as long as you can guarantee that you can control your strength perfectly and level it at his level." Zero said while turning his head at Shin.

And on a brief moment after saying that, the pair of silver swords on Zero's hand suddenly lit with brilliant white light each before walking towards Shin's direction while adding to when he said earlier. "… Because that is what I am about to do."

Seeing that, Simba just shrugged his shoulders before abandoning the idea that he wanted to do. It was simply because he sucked in terms of control. Unlike this guy that was known for having a Godly Control, he was someone that didn't care about control at all; as long as he could defeat his opponent in a more effective way that was more than enough for him.

With that, Simba decided to stick at the plan that he was thinking earlier. Then he raised his battle-axe with one hand before resting it on his shoulder while watching Zero. He was planning to wait for the Sword God to make his move first before making his; this time, he was planning to become the supporting player because he knew that the current Shin might even surpassed him in terms of speed.

*****

At the same time, while Shin and the others were busy with the things inside the game, there was a luxurious car that arrived at the residence of the Springfield Family. And when the door of the car opened, a youth with formal clothes walked out of it.

He was a young man with handsome face with sharp jawline. His eyes that had a tinge of golden luster coupled with sharp eyebrows that were perfectly matching them. The stands of hair on his head were blond with a spun of golden color, shining under the sunlight. His body was quite slim but also had a sturdy built.

He was dressed in a plain white shirt with a maroon overcoat hugging his figure. The collars were lined with gold, similar to the colour of his hair. There was also a thin lace with a pair of pendants that was quite similar to a dog tag, hanging on his fair neck. Both of his hands were covered with skin-tight and slightly transparent white gloves.

But in contrast of the elegant demeanor of the clothes the youth was currently wearing, the aura that came from this young man was something that was present for some common troublemakers on the streets.

The young man stood in front of the fountain in front of the Mansion while staring at the huge statue of a lizard dragon that was standing in the middle of the fountain.

And after some time of thinking, the young man stretched both of his arms in the air before saying with a loud voice. "Finally, at Home!"
