Chapter 120: Illusion.

"Liam! DON'T!" A middle-aged man roared from the entrance of the hotel.

But the blond-haired young man, also known as Liam already unleashed his punch.

Ichiro went instantly serious; he put his palm forwards.

[Steel Edge – Universe Stop!]

The punch contacted with his palm.

"Eh?" Liam widened his eyes out of shock; suddenly, most of his strength disappeared.

But Ichiro was also shocked.

He was sent sliding a few meters.

'I improved this technique… Yet he managed to push me backward… If I still had Ironic Edge, then I might have got injured!' Ichiro was starting to become more serious.

Even though the blond-haired young man is a hooligan, he isn't weak!

"What the hell are you doing?!" Michael roared and unleashed his strikingly fast punch.

Liam widened his eyes and put his arms as a block.

*BAM*

Liam was sent flying a few dozen meters.

A slight smoke left Michael's fist, signaling how strong his punch actually was!

"Liam!" Liam's friends shouted anxiously.

Liam landed on the ground smoothly, but slight red marks appeared on his arms.

'Strong!' Liam thought while looking at Michael.

He was about to attack again, but then a loud shout was heard.

"ENOUGH!" A middle-aged man shouted angrily.

"LIAM, ENOUGH!"

Liam gritted his teeth and hatefully looked at Ichiro.

"Hmph!" He snorted and left towards the elevator.

The group who came with Liam followed behind him.

They glared hatefully towards Ichiro and the rest.

"Hmph." Michael snorted.

"Sorry about this." The middle-aged man said and followed behind the group.

Ichiro narrowed his eyes while looking at Liam.

He took a glance at his palm and saw a fist-sized red mark on it.

"He was the same age as us," Sariel said.

Ichiro nodded; he noticed it as well.

Michael snorted and started walking towards the elevator.

Ichiro entered another elevator and went straight to the 8th floor where his room was waiting.

He exited the elevator and searched for a room with number 823.

He found it fairly quickly.

*Clank*

He opened the door and saw a luxurious room.

The room had one bathroom with a bathtub and shower. There was also a kitchen with one bedroom and a big TV.

The bedroom had a wardrobe, and a spacious bed, which could fit 5 of him, and all this is for him.

"Wow…" Ichiro was quite impressed.

He put his bag down on the ground and sat on the couch.

But then the images of Liam popped up in his mind.

Or, more specially, his attack.

"Hmm…" Ichiro hummed and stood up.

He scratched his cheek and closed his eyes.

"Whew…" He took a deep breath, and slowly the imaginary figure of Liam appeared not far from him.

[Iron Illusion – Fighting against Strong]

It is a technique Ichiro learned to train more efficiently.

With only one glance, he can make an illusion of the opponent he has fought, but that only works when the scene is vivid in his mind.

He can't make Slych's illusion because it has been a few months since he fought him, and the memory isn't that precise anymore.

But he fought against Liam a few minutes ago; he can perfectly make his illusion.

Ichiro took a deep breath and opened his eyes.

It is like he can see the imaginary figure not far from him.

Liam leaped towards Ichiro and punched!

Ichiro put his arm forward again.

[Steel Edge – Universe Stop!]

The punch started getting closer, and once it was only an inch away.

Ichiro concentrated; his eyes turned red.

The fist hit Ichiro's palm.

He can already feel the strength of the punch, but then…

[Iron Lion – Preying Soul!]

Ichiro closed his palm and closed the fist on it.

*CRACK*

Liam's bones in his fist instantly broke.

[Iron Lion – Lion Bite!]

Ichiro moved his left arm with lightning speed and grabbed Liam's neck.

*CRACK*

Ichiro pressed tightly, and Liam's figure became lifeless.

He crushed his throat effortlessly.

"Whew…" Ichiro took a deep breath and watched as the illusion slowly disappeared.

"Not good… I should stop finding ways to kill my opponents… Instead, I need to find ways to defeat my opponent." Ichiro again closed his eyes.

Slowly the figure of Liam again appeared.

Liam once again leaped into the air and punched.

Ichiro put his arm forward and waited for the punch.

[Steel Edge – Universe Stop]

The punch hit his palm shortly afterward.

Ichiro felt immense strength coming from the punch.

[Steel Edge – Sky And Earth!]

Ichiro quickly grabbed the fist and moved his arm with a swift motion, which sent Liam flying.

*Bam*

Liam landed on the ground on his back, but he quickly stood up and started throwing jabs.

[Iron Burst!]

Ichiro disappeared and appeared in front of him.

[Steel Smash – END IS HERE!]

Ichiro hit Liam perfectly on the cheek.

But…

Liam's fist somehow appeared in front of Ichiro's face.

"Ahh…" Ichiro watched as the punch hit him, but then the Illusion figure disappeared.

"Not good…" Ichiro was displeased.

He started another round of fighting.

It lasted for the entire night until finally, the bright sky appeared.

Ichiro was standing in the middle of the hotel room; his body was filled with sweat.

He fought over 100 times against Liam last night, and he is still going.

Liam leaped to the air and punched with his powerful-looking fist. His muscles bulged considerably.

Ichiro put his arm forwards.

[Steel Edge – Universe Stop!]

Liam's punch hit his palm, but then Ichiro instantly directed the fist.

[Steel Edge – Side Sweep]

Liam then used his right arm and tried to grab Ichiro.

But then Ichiro crouched and clenched his fist.

[Ironical Destruction!]

His arm looked like it became an afterimage, but then his fist reappeared, and it was already in contact with Liam's torso.

The punch sent Liam flying to the ceiling.

*BAM*

Liam's face looked like it was in pain, but his expression became lifeless, and he fell down on the ground.

Ichiro looked at Liam's body and noticed that he was still breathing.

"Finally, I managed to defeat him without killing." Ichiro smiled and watched as the Illusion disappeared.
