Immediately, all of the geniuses broke into a ’huh’ mode, as Ryuk raised an eyebrow, looking at the geniuses with the same raised eyebrow that they were also directing at him.
Quickly, the scene turned into a dumb one of people staring at each other as if they were all fools.
"What the?"
"Why would you need a top 20 genius to be here?" one of the geniuses couldn’t help resisting the urge to ask, as Ryuk sighed.
"Nothing much, actually. I’ve just been wondering how my strength would fare against a top 20 genius for some time now."
"It would really do me good to fight one before the test began. It’s somehow disappointing none of you six are part of them," Ryuk said with a sad tone that left all the geniuses speechless.
While they were doubling in shock, Ryuk slowly walked forward with a relaxed, lazy expression as he passed by a fallen genius, tapping him on the shoulder twice before continuing on his way.
"It’s late already. You guys should go to sleep, lest your little balls get cold in the chilling night..."
STEP. STEP. STEP.
Slowly, the footsteps continued into the distance calmly as all six geniuses looked at each other in the eyes, their prey moving out of their circle.
"What the fuck are you all doing? Staring at each other’s balls!?"
"Get him!!!"
The boss of the group, a short, chubby Fallen, said as the sound of roars filled Ryuk’s ears. He turned his head, flashing a cocky grin at the idiots.
"Finally got out of your heads. Took you idiots long enough..."
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!
The entire place where Ryuk stood instantly crumbled to pieces as a hammer smashed into the ground, held by none other than a gigantic muscular figure.
Yet in the next instant...
BOOOOOOM!
A softer-sounding boom resounded as a kick landed on the cheek of the boy who slammed down the hammer, sending him flying to the side.
He slammed into the ground, bouncing off it a couple of times, before slamming into a glassy structure, that caused erupting dust and blocked everyone’s gaze.
SHRRRRIIIING!
The sound of a katana leaving its sheath resounded as a sword slashed out from behind, but failed to connect to Ryuk’s head as he calmly bent to the ground and picked up the large hammer, narrowly dodging the sword.
In the next instant...
BAAAAAAAAANG!
The one who slashed the sword found the end of a large hammer swinging toward his face, slamming straight onto his head.
With an indifferent gaze, Ryuk watched as his large cheeks wiggled under the effect of the hammer, all of his face squeezing over the hammer’s surface before he was instantly sent flying into the distance, amidst blood and teeth flying all over the area.
The katana slowly fell down and landed gently in Ryuk’s hand as he began walking toward the remaining four geniuses who stood in their tracks.
"Did he just get rid of Paul and Roland!?"
"What the fuck are you all waiting for!?"
"Get him!"
The short chubby Fallen Angel commanded as the others immediately regained themselves and ran forward.
One of them immediately turned into five of himself that surrounded Ryuk’s figure, all performing different attacks.
"Clones?" Ryuk called aloud in shock, but soon he smiled as he stood in the center, ignoring all the attacks and silently stabbing his katana into the stomach of a clone at the side.
PUUUUCHHHIII!
Immediately, the sound of a sword piercing through flesh rang out as blood burst out, and all of the clones instantly faded away into nothing, leaving just the one who slowly stepped backward in shock, collapsing onto his knees with blood raining down his lips.
"How... How did he know?"
The Fallen Angel asked in shock, but Ryuk was already onto the second opponent.
"Fallen Storm Tsunami!" a genius roared out, gliding his hands in a weird position as Ryuk turned his gaze to the ground with a raise eyebrow.
In the next instant, a storm formed from beneath the ground, throwing Ryuk upward into the air.
"Fallen Arrows!" another genius roared out as arrows of light appeared all around him. I
In the next instant, they soared forward toward Ryuk, who instantly slapped his hands out with speed, slapping away all the arrows and catching two in his hands.
In the next instant, he faded away into thin air.
"Where did he go?"
"Behind you!"
A Fallen genius roared out to another as Michaelson tried to instantly run, but failed when he felt two arrows pierce into his shoulders.
The power of the stab was enough to drive him straight into the ground, leaving only his head and his shoulders puffing out, pinned to the ground by the arrows stuck in his shoulders.
"ARRRRGGGGHHH!"
A spine-chilling scream of pain rang out from the boy’s mouth.
"DIIIIEEEEE!"
One of the Fallen geniuses roared aloud, appearing in front of Ryuk with hands coated in golden energy.
BOOOOOM!
BOOOOOM!
BOOM!
Immediately, punches flew over Ryuk’s head as he shifted back, dodging a row of punches and slapping away the others.
Without much change, Ryuk turned his back while moving, dodging a kick to his back by bending his knees.
An interesting smirk formed on his face as he watched the genius giving it all he could, yet failing to touch him.
"More power!’
Immediately, the genius swerved a punch toward Ryuk’s face but once again missed, as he dodged backward.
Ryuk suddenly jerked forward with speed, his eyes mere inches from the young man’s shocked face.
"More power..." He whispered.
"Huh?"
The boy asked, but his face changed in the next instant when a powerful backhand slap connected straight to his face, blood splashing out of his lips as he soared to the side.
Through the blood flying in the air, he barely saw the crazed red light in Ryuk’s gaze along with his lips moving, forming the words:
"Put more power into your punch when you strike. Hehehe..."
"Got you now!"
A sinister voice rang out as Ryuk eyes narrowed when he felt himself carried up the storm once more, and then a chain tore through the storm, instantly wrapping up and bonding all over Ryuk, before proceeding to squeezing him tight.
