Black metal armor pieces that covered Black Star’s entire body shifted, with its gaps expanded and narrowed as Black Star walked and they were covered in additional armor that resembled an exoskeleton. Black Star’s entire face was covered in mask-shaped armor with glowing red patterns on the eye parts and around the eyes. His mask resembled the face part of a mecha covered in several pieces of armor connected together by metal joints and two glowing patterns on the parts of the eyes. The patterns on the eye parts of this mask were glowed gaps of the armor pieces that formed this mask; these glowed gaps faintly showing some kind of sturdy machine beneath the armor pieces covering the mask. On the forehead part of this mask, up to the back of his head, was another additional armor resembling flat horns attached and extending from the forehead to the right and left sides of the forehead and to the right and left sides of the head, and some armor pieces covered his neck. On the top back of his head, something black blazing backward like black flames stretched and waved back as if to form the hair.

From the waist to the toes, Black Star was covered in black armor pieces with additional armor on his forelegs and knees, as well as additional armor in the form of a tasset that covered the waist and side parts of the armor on his thighs. Additional armor resembled an exoskeleton device-like armor on the sides of his legs, connected to his right and left waist, then to the exoskeleton device-like armor on his back. Every Black Star’s step caused a small shock wave that spread everywhere.

The front of the Black Star’s body, from chest to stomach parts, was covered in armor, which formed his front body with several pieces of armor connected together with metal joints, and on the left part of his chest was a device carved in a medallion shape with a plus-shaped glowing gap in the center.

From behind, Black Star’s whole back was covered in black metal armor pieces connected together with back rib cage-like additional armor at his back, similar to an exoskeleton device. The armor on his upper arms was covered with sturdy carved additional armor; the armor on his shoulders was covered with additional armor that was connected to the armor that formed a high collar on his neck, and this armor extends to the left and right upper back and the middle of it was separated and connected by metal joints that connected to the additional armor resemble the backbone and back rib cage on his back which was his additional exoskeleton-like armor and device.

Additional armor on armor that covered his upper arms extended to the elbows, to the upper part and sides of the forearms, and to the backs of the hands and upper part of his fingers. This additional armor constantly moves following the movements of the Black Star’s body.

Black Star clenched his hands, causing the additional armor pieces covering his upper arms, elbows, and wrists to shift or open with their gaps expanded, and turn into another shape, followed by the movements of additional armor pieces on his right and left upper back. Additional armor pieces covered his whole body opened or shifted and reformed like carved patterns that could move following his movements, and entire Black Star’s armor shape becomes more ferocious and then returns to normal form alternately with different time intervals each time the armor changed shape; the change in Black Star’s armor form sometimes only occurs in certain parts of Black Star’s body when he moves them or when he concentrates his energy power on certain parts of his body. The cloaked man was surprised as he thought.

“Damn, he looked ferocious….”

The cloaked man concentrated.

“Skill activation, Analyze.”

He said as he focused on Black Star. A black panel with white text appeared and hovered before him:

[ [System Skill Activated]

Shortly after, the text displayed on the black panel changed:

[ [System Analyze Results]

[Name: Unknown

Category: Beyond S (unmeasurable, predicted)

Health Points: Unknown

[Close] ]

The cloaked man appeared to have expected that.

“I’m already thought that he must be beyond S….”

On the other hand, Black Star stopped his steps.

“How long are you going to just stand there?”

Black Star turned to the cloaked man on the rooftop. The cloaked man was shocked as he thought.

“Since when did he know I was here?”

Black Star concentrated and flew up with a hard starting stomp that shattered the concrete surface he was standing on. In no time, he had hovered several meters before the cloaked man, surprising him. Black Star appeared to be curious.

“Anything you want to say to me?”

The cloaked man answered.

“Black Star… I want to confirm something. What are you doing?”

Black Star looked at his skyscraper-shaped starship carriers as he answered.

“You mean all this?”

Black Star looked back at the cloaked man.

“This is all because they were trying to prevent me from carrying out the attacks. So, I held the Pentagon hostage for a while, but even so, they didn’t seem afraid to attack me.”

The cloaked man replied.

“What do you mean by hostage? You have gone too far.”

Black Star replied.

“I won’t give the details. But you don’t have to worry; I’ll release them when my plan is done.”

Black Star said lightly. The cloaked man stood in a ready-to-attack stance and positioned his gauntlet before him.

“Stop now, or I’ll force you.”

Black Star appeared unfazed.

“Is that supposed to be a warning? I’ll not stop whatever you’ll do.”

The cloaked man appeared ready and concentrated.

“Skill activation, Fire Fist.”

A black panel with white text appeared on his left:

[ [System Skill Activated]

[Close (Closed automatically in 5…)] ]

Massive flames blazed and soared from the cloaked man’s left gauntlet; he punched toward Black Star with his left hand. The huge flame shaped like his left gauntlet shot and extended toward Black Star, then hit him, causing a huge flame explosion momentarily. After the attack was finished, all the fire was dispersed. However, Black Star was alright and only pushed a few meters from where he was initially hovering, surprising the cloaked man. The cloaked man appeared alert as he thought.

“What the hell? How can my attacks almost have no effect on him?”

On the other hand, even though Black Star was alright, he was surprised as he thought.

“Even though his attacks have no effect on me, he could make me to be pushed several meters backward. What a powerful thrust….”

Black Star clenched his right fist, then flew swiftly toward the cloaked man.

The cloaked man pulled his cloak with his left hand and positioned it forward to parry. Black Star quickly closed the distance with the cloaked man, then punched him with his right hand. With the cloaked man’s precise timing, Black Star’s fist only hit the cloak; the immense force of Black Star’s fist collided with the cloak and caused a shock wave and a wind blast that spread in all directions. Without Black Star could see, two black panels with white writing appeared to the right and left of the cloaked man:

Black Star was shocked that his attack didn’t even cause the cloaked man to flinch as he thought.

“What happened? How could he not even budge from my attack?”

The cloaked man concentrated as he looked at Black Star alertly.

“Effect activation, Blink.”
