I sensed that the anti-monster network had come back, but the European and American branches were stronger. I went back to the Chennai branch, and I picked up a wave of magic coming from New York that encompassed the world.

I flew out to the Arabian sea. Once I had reached Jordan, I sensed that they had had a diamond-category intent on harming me. I calculated we would fight in Egypt in about three seconds. I pulled out my sword.

I saw the diamond-category for the first time when we were about a hundred kilometers apart. We would meet in less than a second, so I took in what info I could. He had the explosive, fire, ground, ice, and atomic soul stones, to make the missile confluence.

I teleported onto his back and drove my sword in. I yanked it out and teleported to Moscow, where he sent a missile at the speed of light in about a thirtieth of a second.

I grabbed it, stabbed my dagger into it, and said, “Suffering luck shall be transferred.” I threw it at about twelve thousand miles per hour, hitting the diamond-category, using an affliction.

A bunch of rods appeared in the ground, disabling teleportation. “As your fire is mine to harvest, your ground is mine to reap.” For a moment, it made me content, but I was falling at about four thousand miles per hour through the entire Earth. I flew up, casting a spell. “Your luck’s fate is to suffer.” He hit me back. “Uranium is fire, missile is fire, so your death is fire.” I saw a flaming uranium nuke flying towards me.

I distorted space so the missile landed in Afghanistan. “Suffer the cost of a lifetime. Bleed to death, bloodless one. Rot away, dead body.” “The permanent enclosure of ice is icy death.” I broke the ice, gritting my teeth. “Oh yeah?” I asked. “Two can play at that game. Ice from outside is nothing, so ice from within shall arize. You will die.” I suppressed him at the same time, killing him.

He started rejuvenating with a magical light. “I hate that ability.” I said, after cursing. I knew Bob had it. It could bring a gold-category or higher back from the dead. I knew that a lot of people had died in collateral damage, so I forced him back with a rainbow wall. I made it push him back to New York, where I used a combo of frozen blood and speed die to make him stay in New York. I went back to Chennai.
