After Miko gave the order, the Dragna troops started to crossing the massive lake that stretched for countless miles.

“They’re attacking!”

The Eastern camp was alerted almost immediately.

“Men, attack!”

They also gave the order to attack.

In an instant, countless people started crossing the lake.

“Looks like the party is about to begin.”

Lennox tapped Drake’s shoulder.

“Good work. Let me take it from here.”

He said as he walked past him.

“Take it from here? Wait, are you going to fight already?!”

Drake asked in surprise.

“Is there a problem?”

“No. I just thought that you would enter the battle later on. With you being one of the stars and everything.”

Lennox laughed.

“I hate teasing people. I prefer to dive into the main issue and kill the suspense.”

He said as he walked.

“Besides, that young emperor is itching for a fight.”

He looked towards Miko and smiled.

“I gotta see what the big deal is all about.”

He took a leap and landed on the lake’s surface.

“Hm?”

Miko saw him walking towards him and smiled.

“Lennox has taken the field?”

Those on the Dragna side were surprised by his sudden appearance.

“This brat really doesn’t follow the rules.”

Said Nero.

“Miko, do you want me to slap him around?”

Nero asked.

Miko shook his head.

“I want to try him out. I’ve never fought a Tyrant before.”

Miko said as he started walking towards Lennox.

“I see, but be careful. Lennox isn’t easy to deal with.”

“I’ll take that advice.”

Miko said as he waved behind him.

He continued to walk while keeping his eyes on the approaching Lennox, who did the same with him.

*Boom!*

The two armies had finally came into contact and battles erupted on both sides of the lake. Even so, Miko and Lennox remained calm as they approached each other.

After a while the two stood directly in front of each other.

“Yo, I’m Lennox.”

Lennox introduced himself.

“Yo, I’m miko.”

Miko did the same.

The two smiled at each other, and then threw a punch each.

They both dodged each other’s attack and replied with a kick.

*Boom!*

Their legs collided and caused waves to form in the lake with an explosive sound.

‘Hm? We’re equal?.....No, it feels like he adjusted his strength to match mine.”

Miko thought.

He leaped back and distanced himself.

“This should be interesting.”

Miko said with a smile.

Lennox kept his leg in the air with a mischievous look on his face.

“What’s funny?”

Miko asked.

“Nothing really. I’m just surprised. I heard that you could use the powers of Higher Beings, but as they say seeing is believing.”

He began putting his leg down.

“Looks like I can have some fun.”

The moment his foot touched the water surface he disappeared. Miko suddenly my bent his back and a leg past over his head.

It was Lennox’s leg that he swung after moving so fast that it was like he teleported.

Miko used the momentum of him bending backwards to flip. He was then attacked in the middle of the flip with another kick.

“Heh.”

Miko timed the kick and placed both hands on the leg, while his back was still bent, he push himself backwards.

He distanced himself, but Lennox immediately popped up and began thrusting his feet towards Miko’s face. Miko back stepped and skillfully avoided the attacks with minimal movement.

“Wow. You have great reflexes and instincts too.”

Lennox said as he continued to kick Miko.

“Thanks, but I haven’t even started yet.”

Miko suddenly halted and his body flickered.

*Boom!*

Lennox was suddenly blown back with his arms crossed in front of him. Lennox feet skidded on the water surface and caused it to splash about. When he looked in front of him Miko was already gone.

“Above.”

He looked up and saw Miko slamming his heel towards him. He jumped back and avoided it.

“Hm?”

At that moment, another Miko shot out from under the water swinging his fists Lennox’s head. Lennox jumped, twisted his body upside down, grabbed Miko’s collar from behind, twisted his body again while holding Miko and slammed him on the water surface.

*Boom!*

Suddenly countless Mikos started shooting out of the water at Lennox.

Lennox smiled and welcomed them all.

He jumped as broke one’s neck with a kick, span around and sent one flying with an uppercut, moved to side and avoided an attack from underneath and grabbed that same Miko and casually broke it’s neck with a twist.

He stepped back and grabbed another one’s kick and used it to swat away three behind him.

“You know, fighting clones is a pretty good cardio routine.”

Lennox said as he strangled two Mikos and crushed another under his foot.

“Hm? The clones decreased.”

He noticed that the number of clones that were attacking had decreased slightly from when it just started.

“He must be planning something.”

He said as he continued to systematically destroy the clones.

*Boom!*

That’s when a Miko appeared with his fist glowing, right under him.

“Fuckoff Punch!”

To stop the punch, Lennox pushed his hand down and casually caught the punch.

“Is this what you were planning? Well, I admit that it sure has quite a force behind it, but nothing special.”

He said.

“Well, how about this?”

Miko literally appeared out of thin air behind Lennox. Lennox was unable to turn around in time.

“Taste my new addition to the Fuckoff Series!”

Miko placed his hand on Lennox’s back.

“Fuckoff Explosion!”

*BOOOM!*

A massive explosion suddenly devoured Lennox’s and Miko’s figures. The explosion was so big that it devoured countless soldiers who were near by.

A cloud of steam covered the massive lake. When it faded away, Miko was seen floating on his back, a distance away from where he was before.

“Cough! I really need to figure out a way to use that without getting myself hit as well.”

He said as he forced himself to his feet.

“Well, this is a surprised.”

He said as he looked in front of him.

“I know that it wasn’t enough to take you down, but for you to remain completely unhurt….”

He smiled bitterly.

“It hurts my pride to be honest.”

Lennox stood on the water surface completely unfazed as if he was hit with nothing more than gentle breeze.

“Don’t be so down.”

Lennox suddenly showed an angry smile.

“You did make me change moods.”

“?!”

Miko suddenly leaped back, but it was too late. Lennox was already in front of him, and in the middle of swinging his fist.

*BOOOM!*

Lennox fist slammed and twisted into Miko’s stomach. Miko’s body was forcibly bent as an explosive sound rung out.

*BOOOM!*

Lennox then followed up with a kick under the chin, which sent Miko up in the air.

Miko blacked out a couple times while his body was flying upwards.

“Ugh!”

He used all his might and forced himself to come to a stop midair.

“Cough! Cough! Cough!”

He floated in the air and started coughing heavily.

“H-He didn’t follow up?”

He said as he looked at Lennox who stood on the water surface.

“Is he looking down on me?”

Miko said as he saw that Lennox didn’t try to finish him off.

This thought angered him greatly.

He then saw Lennox smirk at him. This only caused him to get even angrier.

“What are you smirking about?!”

Miko roared.

“My apologizes.”

Lennox replied.

“I was just laughing at myself for getting serious there for a second on a child. It isn't really my style after all.”

“Is that so?”

The veins in Miko’s head started pulsing vigorously, and his aura grew wilder by the second. It was clear that he had snapped.

“Mušma, Lahmu!”

He roared, immediately after Lahmu and Mušma turned into light particles and entered Miko’s body. His power gain a massive increase which caused the surroundings to shake.

“………”

Miko stared down at Lennox who still wore a smirk.

He then disappeared and reappeared in front him.

*BOOOM!*

He slapped his face with back hand and caused him to fly back a couple meters.

“How about now?”

Miko looked at him from the corner of his eyes and asked.

“Puh!”

Lennox spit out a tooth and wiped the blood from his lips, and the smiled.

“That one wasn’t so bad.”

He then took a fighting pose.

“Makes me want to try a bit harder.”

“Cocky bastard!”

The two moved at the same time and threw a punch.

*BOOOM!*

Their punches collided and caused a thunderous sound.

“Oh?”

Lennox noticed that his fingers were disfigured from colliding with Miko’s fist. Miko aimed a kick at his head, which he avoided by jumping back.

Miko chased after him and aimed a roundhouse kick at his side. Lennox used both arms to block it and was sent flying to the side. His feet skidded on the water surface as he forced himself to stop.

Miko once again chased after him, this time with a glowing star in his palm.

“Exploding Star!”

The star slammed onto Lennox and caused another massive explosion.

However, Lennox was seen flying back out of the steam cloud, of his own will.

His clothes were rugged and there were some burn marks on him but nothing serious.

“Hey, Gramps.”

Momo who was watching Miko’s battle from a far spoke to Nero beside her.

“You’re acquainted with Lennox, right? What kind of person is he really?”

She asked. She just couldn’t read Lennox by his behavior alone and was curious.

“Well, Lenny and I go way back. As for what kind of person he is, I can’t really say. All I can say is that he’s a really complex person. He’s sometimes happy and carefree, but sometimes serious and dangerous. He’s just unpredictable. He once challenged me to fight a decade before he became a Tyrant and lost. After that, he’s been calling me Boss.”

Nero replied.

“Really? What kind of fighting style he has? I mean if he has any weapons or special styles? Since the fight began all he’s done is basic martial arts.”

Alec asked.

“He doesn’t have a particular fighting style.”

Alexus answered his grandson.

“He just fights according to the situation, environment and opponent at the time.”

“That’s pretty much like Miko isn’t it?”

Said Rin.

“You know I just realized something.”

Kaido suddenly said.

He looked at Nero.

“You said that he challenged you a decade before he became a Tyrant, but didn’t he become a Tyrant at 30? Then are you saying he challenged you at 20?”

Nero nodded.

“That’s right. Lenny was nothing more than a no-name youth back then when he challenged me.”

“Yet he thought that he could defeat you? Talk about arrogance.”

Said Luka.

“No, that’s where you’re wrong. Lenny isn’t an arrogant person. He was just curious, curious to know how much he can defy fate.”

“He fought you for such a reason? Then he’s stupid.”

Nero shook his head again.

“Actually, him believing that he had a chance to defeat me wasn’t pure stupidity. He had a valid reason to thinks so.”

“A reason?”

“Just watch and you’ll see why Lennox rules over majority of the world’s Tyrants.”

He then made a serious face.

“Also be ready to move at anytime.”

He looked at the fight with a sharp gaze.

“Because Miko will lose this fight.”
