Warrior Terminator

Outside of Conjecture

A tall, thin man with dark red hair and sunken eyes came out from the shadow of a house. He looked at Luxco with jelly, then glanced at the ramplite corpses that were lying behind Luxco.

“Kutebak, you're Anser Vulpecula.”

There's no answer. There is no denial. Luxco concluded that he was Anser.

“You beat my guests?”

“Yes. You mind?”

“Instead, I thank you instead. I came here to confront those who wanted to kill me, but since you've already cleared it then I thank you for it.”

“Kill you? What the hell does that mean? Didn't they come to ask you for help?”

Anser laughed at that. “What joke are you talking about? They came to kill me, sure.”

“But, why?”

“Because I have made a part of their herd to test my invention. Unfortunately it failed and they all died horribly. Apparently the ramplites have a grudge against me and want to avenge it. I'm ready for tonight's show, but if you want to handle it I—”

“My line with you,” cut Luxco.

“Oh.”

“There's something I want to ask,” Luxco said, “you made medicines to increase the power of ramplite, right?”

“Yes. Although I have experienced many failures.”

“Do not lie to me with a failure that does not exist,” Luxco jolt. “About two years ago I once faced a ramplite that had an unreasonable power after taking a medicine. I got information from him that you gave me the drug.”

“At that time I had not been able to create such a drug," Anser replied. His face changed after that. “Ah, I just remembered. I did give some ramplite medicine to try and it worked. But it's not my medicine.”

Luxco was shocked to hear it. He also hurried to ask. “Who made it?”

Anser frowned. “From yesterday you asked about the drug. That makes me curious.”

“If you're not the one making the cure then you won't be able to answer my question.”

Anser clenched her hands tightly. His eyes were angry. “You underestimated me! You think I'm no better than him, ha?!”

Luxco was quite surprised by the change in nature, but he instead chuckled happily. In a mocking tone he said, “Aren't you the one who said that you often fail?”

“Kau—”

“If you get upset with that person then tell me his name, I'll find him for you, depending on the situation I might kill him for you.”

Urat-urat annoyed at Anser increasingly stiffened. “Do not think I'm a weakling! I can outdo it! I am stronger than him! Look and feel!”

Suddenly Anser launched an attack. With one hand outstretched forward came a burst of light that led to Luxco. The man avoided it by jumping up.

“You shouldn't do that.”

Anser turned the light into a large number of spears. With a movement of his hand the spears of light pointed rapidly at Luxco. But men who have lemon yellow hair color does not look daunted. Luxco created a foothold from the power of its light, with the chains twirling very fast and agile he tied the spears into one, one, only then using the power of his arm Luxco threw back the spear he had put together back at Anser.

Anser simply pointed one hand forward. He made a light shield. The spears that struck the shield instantly shattered.

Luxco lost its footing. It landed on the ground gracefully. Only the tip of his foot touched the ground but Luxco went straight to attack. A bad footing did not make him lose his balance and running speed. From both of his hands appeared a sword of light.

Trang! Trang! Trang!

His strike against Anser's shield of light was unsuccessful. Luxco was aiming for a part unprotected by the shield, but Anser's shield moved wherever Luxco's puncture and slash led, protecting the maker deftly.

“Very good...” muttered on the sidelines attacking, “nah, how about this?”

Both arms of Luxco are encased by the power of its light. The impact of that was that his sword movement was getting faster. It multiplied twice as fast, tripled.

The sreet!

Luxco's sword hits Anser's left shoulder.

Luxco jumps back. “Finally succeeded.”

“Just a scratch on the shoulder, don't be happy just yet.”

“Really?” Luxco grinned wide. His right hand is pointing upwards. “Alpha Centauri : Needle Storm.”

The long, pointed, sharp needles of light whirl together to form a needle storm. The end of the needle storm was taper. Luxco moved his hand, pointing the needle storm at Anser. Anser quickly formed a dome to protect himself. But unfortunately, because Luxco's attack too soon Anser received quite a lot of wounds all over the body. Blood flowed from every needle that pierced his body.

“Since when?” asked Anser while enduring the pain.

“Each of my swords had a scratch with your shield I removed small fragments from my light sword and let it float in the air until it gathered a lot. The more I increase the speed on each swing of my sword the flakes I make also get thinner, stronger and sharper.”

“But your light sword is not shrinking.”

“That's because I kept pouring my light power into the sword. Each form of his sword eroded I fixed it and shaped it again. Precisely and quickly. Because of my quick movements you didn't notice it because your focus was locked on my sword attack.”

“It...”

“Yes. A technique that requires concentration and mastery is no joke. Because I do many things at once simultaneously, but that's not how much, I can still do more than this. Hows it? Are you impressed with me?”

Anser's face was bent in anger. He feels humiliated. “Bigger! You think you're great?! I'll show you the real prowess!”

“Cih! Basic showman.”

Gulp.

Anser swallowed a pill. Not long after that the effects of the pill began to show. His muscles enlarged, his thin body turned stocky, his skin turned reddish.

Luxco was not surprised at all, he had expected that people like Anser would certainly do research that benefited himself. Luxco was jellily watching the change.

“I've expected... not only for ramplite, doping for star man must also have been made.”.

Luxco is not fond of. He clenched his hands tightly. It entered into his memory of the fight six years ago. At that time the leader of his enemy was an ordinary man, but strangely he had unreasonable extraordinary strength.

“No matter what kind of change you show, I will beat you, then I will make you talk about everything you know about your doping and also the person you were talking about earlier. Maybe you even know about the guy I've been looking for.”

Luxco widened his eyes as Anser suddenly disappeared from his sight. But a second later the man appeared before him and directly smashed into his face violently. Luxco bounced far back. He hit the house until the wall was destroyed. Blood flowed from his torn mouth.

Luxco. He rubbed his lips. “The speed is increasing.”

Anser approached again. He intends to kick Luxco, but the man is already anticipating it, he makes a light shield to block Anser's kick. As fast as he could, he jumped away.

A bright yellow light enveloped Luxco's shoes. He added the power of light in his legs to help him move faster because if he was slow he would just be a punching bag by Anser. Luxco then made a shuriken of light, each three pieces in his hand, he threw it towards Anser, but it could be driven away by the man with just a swing of his hand that issued a sweep of light.

Luxco clucked in annoyance.

By pointing his hand upwards and concentrating the next attack from the air he made dozens of sword blades that unsheathed downwards. Anser was undaunted at all to see the sword hurtling rapidly towards him. The man made a large sword that had a wide blade, deftly he repelled all the swords from Luxco.

The shattered fragments of his sword were not left to Luxco. He collects it back. Luxco shaped it into large yellow balls that surrounded Anser. The balls exploded with a thunderous sound.

Not until waiting for the effect of the explosion to run out, Luxco came forward with a large sword that had sharpness on both sides. He swung his sword many times, it could be felt if Anser was capable enough to resist his attacks despite being blocked by smoke.

‘Good... Keep facing my sword game and you won't realize this, Luxco's inner’. He then launched a kick, but not an ordinary kick. At the end of his shoes he had already made a light knife.

Zrajsh!

“Arrgh!”

Luxco jumps back. He was satisfied to see enough blood on his shoes and pants. That indicates that his attack gave a deep enough wound. Luxco changed the shape of his sword into a fan, swung it forward to remove the remaining thin smoke, only then grinned widely.

“You feel like you won when I haven't attacked. You haven't died to this day not because you were great. You're just lucky to meet a weak opponent,” Anser scoffs at provoking.

“At least I've fought an enemy much stronger than you. I lost, but I'm still alive. You know what that means? It was because I was still given the chance once again to defeat him. Therefore, losing to you here is only a joke for me.”

“You better take back your words. Because I'm just getting serious about facing you.”

Anser took out another pill and swallowed it. This time the changes in his body were getting faster. His muscles are bigger than ever before. Eyes darken. His dark red hair turned black. On the contrary, his entire body skin was precisely getting red. His toenails and hands are elongated. Anser then shouted loudly resembling the roar of a wild animal.

Luxco swallowed his own saliva. Seeing that appearance made him unable to recognize Anser as a star man anymore. Anser's change was already beyond her expectations.

“Oi... oi. that's right, you're making yourself nonhuman. You look more like ramplite,” he said.

“Khu.khu..khu. I did mix serum ramplite in my doping. I don't need to worry because if I swallow the other pills then I'll go back to normal. This is my greatest invention! I don't lose to that guy's genius! I told you no, I'll show you that I'm the strongest!”

“This is beyond expectations. I thought you were just a smart guy who was a little crazy, in fact you are nothing more than a disgusting monster obsessed with power,” Luxco said cynically.

But Anser had not heard it again, he did not want to hear anything, what he thought at this time was how to finish off Luxco who was his opponent.

The change did not stop there. His head let out a sharp spiral horn. Then from his back came out the wings of the dark blood-red giant bat. The wings were flapping carrying Anser flying.
