Guild Wars

"Not bad." Draco murmured as he complimented himself. He then watched the floor decompose along with Qiong Qi and Clarent.

The three decided to jump right back into the arena. This time, there were five opponents waiting for them, all of them color coded too.

｢Name: Black Ranger – Major Rank monster

Five fellows, four men and one woman, stood in an epic pose as they faced off against the speechless Shameless Trio.

"Are those…" Clarent began with narrowed eyes.

"…Power Rangers?" Draco rubbed as he wiped his eyes.

The three could not help but share a look. Where the heck was this Tower getting its material from? What in the galaxy inspired it to do something like this?

｢The Fifty-Fourth Floor – Divine Quest

Description: Ah, what a lovely smell in the air. Blood, sex, and brutality all round, a single whiff making a true warrior feel at home while the weak feel terror. This is the Death Arena, where Supreme Beings of the multiverse come to watch special and unique entities fight each other to the death.

Your fourth enemy are the Power Rangers, a specially renowned group of fighters who are able to take on any foe!

Limitation 1: There is no surrendering on these floors, nor is there such a thing as a 'tie'. You either die, or your opponent dies.

Limitation 2: You may retreat from the floor at any time, but upon re-entry, you would have to resume from the exact situation you were in at the time.

Limitation 3: There is no time limit for fights, so even if both parties are ko'ed, the match will run until the first to take up kills the other.

Limitation 4: There is a limit on battle space. Exiting the arena intentionally or not will have one automatically obliterated from existence by the watching Supreme Beings.

Provision 1: You have full access to all your powers, titles and abilities, equipment and inventory.

Provision 2: All enemies are reduced to the same level and Rank as you regardless of whence they came.

Provision 3: Enemies do not grant experience upon being killed, but rather grant a random legendary skill, ability, item or equipment.

Rewards: Score Points, 1 Gold-Tier Reward Selection.｣

Draco's lips twitched when he read the floor details. Well, when you put it like that, the Power Rangers were kinda superpowered and strong. It was just that their exaggerated theatrical nature made it hard to take them seriously.

"Foul knave, the Power Rangers are here to defeat you!" Red Ranger shouted out as he swung his arms around and made a pose.

"You cannot beat us, as evil never triumphs over good!" Blue Ranger added as he did the same, crouching low to the ground.

"With the power of love and friendship, you will fall!" Yellow Ranger cried out in a high-pitched voice, making poses at 'love' and 'friendship' especially.

"Don't get cocky guys, let's keep a steady flow." Black Ranger wisely advised, not posing like the rest, as his voice sounded older and more mature.

"I do not hate you. I do not despise you. But I will kill you. I will kill you slowly, painfully, and terribly. I will start by cutting off a piece of your flesh from just under your right eye, with a 13.5" Military Tactical Bayonet Hunting Fixed Blade Survival Rambo Bowie Knife, sharpened exactly 335 times to reach its physical perfection. The cut will be smooth, clean and painful since I'll do it slowly. There will be a rabid dog chained right within inches of your leg, barking madly as it tries its hardest to get a bite of the sweet flesh right before it, having been denied food for over 2 weeks and doped on drugs. I will throw that piece of flesh into its mouth, giving it a taste of you and make it even crazier to have a meal. Then I will cut you all over, from your chest, to your legs, to your face and even your crotch. All will be fed to the dog in a slow process that will not only exacerbate its hunger, but cause your endless pain. I will make sure that you don't bleed out from the cuts by cauterizing them with a weak fire, requiring more seconds to effect the burn than usual. Once the dog is satisfied, I will then send in a fleet of rats who are just as starved and rabid to feast on your flesh, watching as you scream from having your eyes, nose, ears, nipples, belly button and anus ripped off and devoured while still alive. It will be glorious and euphoric for me, but horrific and agonizing for you, just how I like it."

White Ranger raised his dagger to his face and spoke these words slowly, his voice deep and full of murderous intent. The other four Rangers paused to gaze at him, speechless.

Draco, Qiong Qi and Clarent had long clutched each other while shivering, spooked by the horror of the threat and the pure, unadulterated killing intent behind it. This guy wasn't just talking, he was looking forward to make each and every word of what he had just said come true.

"Erm, he's usually like that, don't pay too much attention to it." Red Ranger cleared his throat to get their attention as he explained apologetically.

Draco and co shared a look before getting into battle ready positions. The Power Rangers then began to shout as they manifested weapons.

"Dino Rangers, go!" Red Ranger roared as he manifested a sword and a pistol in each hand with different colors and styled differently depending on their related dinosaur.

Qiong Qi charged at Yellow Ranger and Black Ranger, striking a claw at Black Ranger while he roared at Yellow Ranger. To his shock, Yellow Ranger simply released a sonic screech of her own that countered his roar, while Black Ranger easily used his rapier to block Qiong Qi's claw.

Clarent took on Red Ranger and Blue Ranger, swiping his claw which was coated in flame at the Blue Ranger.

｢Fire Claw – Ability

Effect: Imbue the fire element into the user's claws, dealing 60% fire damage with each swipe for the duration.

Duration: 2 minutes

Cooldown: 2 minutes.｣

Blue Ranger simply took out a triceratops styled shield and blocked in front of him, perfectly negating the damage and even pushing back Clarent. Clarent then fired a ball of flame at Red Ranger.

｢Fireball – Ability

Effect: Shoot a ball of fire at a target within 5000 yards. This deals 75% fire damage.

Cooldown: 0.5 seconds.｣

Red Ranger simply manifested a spear-like staff and struck the fireball aside, confidently posing as he did so.

Draco and White Ranger clashed in the center, White Ranger using some strange semi-sword, semi-feather to block Dragorugio. He and Draco soon became a blur, trading hundreds of blows per second, until they clashed in the center and Draco was knocked back a few steps, his feet dragging on the ground.

Draco's casual smile disappeared.

"No wonder the enemies of the Power Rangers always hated them. If not for the fact that it was a kids show, I swear they could even go toe to toe with anime legends." Draco admitted truthfully as he rubbed his sore fingers.

Then again, those characters from kids show actually had absurd and world destroying powers, yet were severely downplayed or limited to keep their age rating.

Draco, Clarent and Qiong Qi regrouped. The Power Rangers did the same, suddenly taking out a few pistol blasters as they pointed at Draco and co.

"Dino Blaster, go!" Red Ranger commanded, as they started firing crazily.

Having learned their lesson from the previous fight with the Gundam, Clarent and Qiong Qi deftly avoided the blasts. As for Draco, he simply used the Destruction Barrier skill that came with his chestplate.

｢Active 1 – Destruction Barrier: Create a barrier of Destruction Energy that negates 60% of incoming damage for 6 minutes. Cooldown: 30 seconds.｣

"Ugh, they're quite resilient!" Blue Ranger complained.

"Yeah, it's like trying to hit a steel wall!" Yellow Ranger agreed.

"Chin up guys, we're still stronger than them!" Red Ranger comforted bravely.

Draco on the other side, began transforming into his Black Dragon True Body. He wanted to escalate the fight, and there was only one surefire way to make that group enter the next phase.

"Woah, that guy became a giant dragon!" Black Ranger pointed out with shock.

Before another one could utter a corny line, Draco fired a wave of Destruction Energy that struck all the Rangers faster than they could react. Instead of the usual damage, they all exploded like they were made of circuitry, then dramatically flipped in the air as the area 10 meters behind them exploded.

They all screamed loudly as if they wanted the whole world to know they had been hit before clambering back to their feet, exaggerating the damage they took. Admittedly, they had lost almost half their HP though, so it wasn't just fooling around on their part, though they'd likely never consider it that way.

"I guess it's time for some zords! Brachiozord!" Black Ranger called.

Suddenly, dramatic and epic music began playing as the Shameless Trio speechlessly watched a red tyrannosaurus, a blue triceratops, and a yellow pterodactyl merge together.

They then made space for a white stegosaurus that joined them to form a stinger of sorts.

"Thundersauraus Megazord!" they all called out after the combination was done. Then, Red Ranger led the team to engage Draco in a head on brawl.

Whenever they struck him, Draco felt like he was being hit by Shangtian himself. Whenever he blasted or sliced at them the Megazord would spark with electricity and fall back, almost falling on its ass.

Its movements were strangely stiff and weird, like it was just some toy being motion captured frame by frame. This was what gave Draco the upper hand as he eventually knocked the Megazord down and breathed out endless Destruction Energy onto it.

The Power Rangers screamed as their Megazord melted into nothingness, taking them along with it. Their power was great for sure, and without Destruction Energy, Draco felt it would be a super tough battle to defeat all five.

The floor began to decompose as the trio of Clarent, Draco and Qiong Qi sighed with relief.

Without taking a break, they jumped right into the next one. Back once again in the arena, the trio were faced with an enemy they partly expected but didn't believe they would face.

｢Name: Ben 10,000 – Major Rank monster

Level: 150

HP: 500,000,000/500,000,000｣

A tall, thick, and muscular man who sported a thick brown beard, as well as tousled hair that was graphite at the back and bottom sides of his head, stood opposite the trio calmly.

He wore a customized skintight outfit consisting of a round-neck, short-sleeved, bicep-length, black t-shirt tucked in his tight, army-green, slim-fit pants pulled up to his waist. His shirt had a white stripe around his neck and on the front, along with a matching 1-inch trim on the sleeves.

To top it off were a black belt with matching fingerless gloves and calf-high boots.

Of course, it was hard to ignore the huge glowing onimtrix on his right wrist.

"Son, I'm going to fuck you up." He said as he activated Master Control while gazing at Draco's group.
