Arima couldn't dodge the attack in time and got hit by the unfamiliar magic style Iwata Ray was using.
The air was filled with dust from the severity of the attack's impact.
“Because white pieces are the ones that move first. It's a big advantage you see.” as Iwata Ray said those words, Arima couldn't predict the type of attack he was going to perform after so he defended it in the very last moment.
Iwata still had his Rounin appearance since the magic he was using to copy his looks, was still working.
When the smoke and the dust caused by the attack started to fade away, Iwata just noticed that they were in the middle of the daylight.
When he confronted Arima just a few minutets ago, the sky was as dark as a black crow.
“So we've teleported here randomly...”
He was distracted for a second and that distraction gave Arima an opportunity to do a counterattack.
Arima appeared in front of Iwata Ray and used his fist to punch him in his belly and his movement was too fast and unpredictable that Iwata couldn't find the right time and position to defend himself so he got hit hardly and was pulled back however he managed to keep his balance and lessen the damage.
That sudden counterattack got Iwata Ray irritated and on the verge of losing his sanity.
When he was getting angry and angrier, his appearance started to change slowly and turn into a different look.
A big white mask on his face, cool clothes, unique accessories. Arima was finally able to see his real appearance for the first time.
“Now that you don't look like my friend i can get serious.”
“...”
As soon as Iwata Ray stopped being talkactive, his aura started to change and turn into a darker one. The mana pulses that were being emitted from his body turned into scattered messy type. Arima noticed that something about him wasn't right.
'If i don't get outta here on time then i don't know if i can even win with this version of him.' Was simply what crossed Arima's mind right after.
Iwata Ray's aura slowly started to become red and so the color of the sky.
Just like fifty days ago, the evil eye that he encountered appeared again right above their heads.
Iwata Ray raised his hand towards the sky subconsciously. Bunch of black thunder mixed with tornado approached him and helped him increase his deadly aura.
As the aura made of intense mana pulses around him started to grow and get stronger, every plant and living beings near him also started to burn on their own as if nothing around him could live on anymore.
That was when Arima realised that situation was a great pinch.
'So he's recieving powers from that thing...but what the hell is that eye anyway? Are they working together?!' Arima couldn't come up with a logical explaination in his head.
He knew if he was to get dragged in that aura, it could get him killed just like the insects, plants and trees, as soon as that deadly aura touched them.
He built a shield, using his best potential to create it out of his purest magic energies but unfortunately Iwata's aura neutralized his magic shield as soon as it was performed in the air.
“I guess i'm just going to die like this...”
And it was at that moment, he appeared.
A guy that his tied long messy white hair in a ponytail was what more significiant and memorable to Arima. He had some kind of abnormal sense of style as well. A long coat that was designed with elegant gold patterns.
But Arima couldn't take a glance on that guy's face since all he could see was a view from behind. Based on that guy's shape, one could tell that he had trained himself so well to have a body like that and how he performed his magical shield couldn't belong to someone that exprienced these kind of situations for just two months.
'Is he really at this level after such a short time?! No...he simply doesn't belong to this world.' Encountering someone like that guy was causing these kind of thoughts inside Arima's head.
Not just the magical shield that guy used was efficiant but also as strong as to neutralizing that eye's support for Iwata Ray's direction.
“Who are you?!”
“...”
“Are you, by any chance...Taio's brother?!”
That guy wasn't responding or flinching the slightest as if his consciousness wasn't even present in the moment.
Arima couldn't do anything but to give up and sigh deeply because he intuitively knew that guy didn't belong to this world.
The scenery around them started to change and turn into where they used to stand. The red sky disappeared along with that terrifying eye and gave it's place to the dark starry night. Compared to the mysterious spooky dimension they were transferred to, the silent night of Tokyo looked so peaceful, like a home.
And that was where Arima and Iwata's fight went on a second round to the point of getting Iwata Ray's mask broken.
Iwata landed on the ground and touched it with his left hand's fingertips since his right hand was busy covering the exposed part of his face.
Iwata's tornado power appearad again but in a different shape and form. This time it was fully out of wind
“Ostovar!!!”
While Iwata Ray was in that position, he called the name of the most dangerous creature inside Dezone. A black dragon that no one ever seen it twice because once someone comes across it for the first time that's gonna be their last time as well.
When i first heard about this dragon from Arima i didn't believe it even after all the events that i encountered in the past few days...
And i've never thought it would be this giant and intimidating.
Those black wings, sharp big teeth, yellow eyes and it's burning steam coming out of it's mouth with every exhale made Ostovar's already terrifying appearance look even more scary.
My scars were all healed and i could finally stand and walk but my feet were frozen for a different reason now.
That dragon landed right in front of Iwata Ray as if it was his loyal pet.
“Who are you?!”
“...”
“Are you, by any chance...Taio's brother?!”
That guy wasn't responding or flinching the slightest as if his consciousness wasn't even present in the moment.

I see...Iwata Ray has domesticated that monster...!!!
“He really summoned something like this?!”
Arima said that sentence with an expression full of amusment and admiration that got me quite shocked.
Iwata has the upper hand here and he's our enemy so why was he so excited about it?! And what did he mean by 'summoning'?! Is there something that i'm still unaware of?!
Iwata Ray went towards the dragon and patted it's head as if that thing wasn't the scariest thing till that day and what was more surprising to me was the fact that he got on it and rode the giant Ostovar like it's the most normal thing to do.
To make this worst, even his companions didn't know he had such an ability based on their reactions.
They were as shocked as me and Mr Arima.
When they were running towards Iwata's direction Isao stopped them mid way.
“You guys aren't allowed to go anymore forward.”
Yoshino Hana was objective of the matter and criticized Isao's decision. “What are you hiding?! Did you know the master could summon this monster?!”
“No, i didn't know either.”
“Then why-”
“Because he doesn't want us to see his face, that's why he summoned Ostovar.”
So he wanted to get away that fast and went as far as exposing one of his biggest secrets just to hide his identity?! But why?!
Yuji, the guy that could control water and joined them after. Isao pointed his finger towards Hana and told her to teleport them back.
I thought only Rokoro was capable of such...
Then a big black gate appeared under their feet and all of them started to fade away slowly.
'I got it now...her teleportion is a little bit different and it's too slow.' was the conclusion i came up with being mixed with appreciation and proudness towards Rokoro.
But are we really letting these guys get away like this?!
It was already too late to catch up to Iwata Ray as he already started riding and flying with Ostovar in a hurry.
Even if i followed and caught up to him successfuly what was i going to do?! Say Hi?!
So the best way to turn this around was that to kidnap one of those guys that work for Iwata in the last moment and take them as hostage because this might've been the only way to ever get Rounin back.
I started to run towards their direction to catch one of them before they were completely gone and the best person that let their guard down compared to the others was Minami Yuji, the one that was trying to kill me in that big mass of water.
Since he wasn't facing me, grabbing his shirt from behind and dragging him out of that gate which was devouring their bodies slowly might've been the easier and more advantageous if only Arima hadn't grabbed my shoulder from behind and shout my name aggresively to stop me.
“Taio!!!”
I was just one inch behind to get him if he didn't stop me.
I got so irritated at Arima's action...doesn't he care about getting his friend back?!
But Arima's reaction was not the one that surprised me the most, it was Minami Yuji's. As soon as he heard my name coming out of Arima's mouth, he turned around and looked at me with those confused eyes and last strange words right before they completely disappear with that gate.
“What did you say?! Taio?!”
