However, just as Virus pulled the trigger and was expecting to see a fallen Brooc, he heard Brooc murmur at the very last moment, "Swift Rat"s Maneuver Technique".
After that, Brooc was able to dodge the bullet with a very small margin between himself and the bullet at a very fast speed.
The moment Virus heard Brooc murmuring, he knew he hadn"t put Brooc"s technique in his calculation.
After dodging, Brooc began to charge at Virus with an even faster speed than before and in almost a second, Virus knew he would be upon him.
And the moment he arrived in front of him, Virus was aware he would be injured with at least a bone broken.
So, the instant Brooc had dodged, Virus promptly connected his mind to the handgun as he commanded it, "Paralysis Mode – Follow".
Then, changing the direction of his already raised hand by a little toward Brooc, he shot at him, but this time, without any kind of calculation.
Seeing him pull the trigger, Brooc smirked as he changed his direction by a little with a lot of effort as he was sure he would be able to dodge it by at least a few centimeters.
But, the next moment, he witnessed the blue blur line which"s afterimage he was hardly able to see, change its direction as it curved toward him like it had locked on him as a target.
And the next thing he knew was that he has already on the ground, paralyzed.
Seeing this result, everyone else was a little stunned once again, but their shock was nowhere close to before, as they began to talk among themselves soon.
"Huh... he won again... just what kind of amazing weapon is that..."
"Wish it was mine, cuz like that... I would"ve been invincible."
"But it seems that weapon has reached its limits..."
"Maybe I should ask where he bought the weapon so I would buy one too..."
The elder"s eyes, who was intensely focusing on the weapon, was s.h.i.+ning a little at this moment as he pondered in amazement, "It changed its direction in the very last moment... amazing!"
Then, he announced the result.
Afterward, Virus deactivated his handgun as he walked off the stage while thinking, "That was close... as I had to stick to the new best plan of dealing with him while using the minimum amount of power... good thing he wasn"t fast enough to be able to distance himself from my aimed target by that much... otherwise, right now..." Thinking until here, he began to calculate how the battle would"ve progressed and his possible reactions to it if Brooc was fast enough like in his imagination, though only he knew how the situation would"ve progressed in that case.
The contest continued after that as one disciple after another fought until only sixteen contestants were remaining now.
But, instead of continuing the contest, the elder began to talk to the sixteen remaining contestants, "That was the last match of today. Sixteen contestants now remain... and tomorrow, all of you will be merging with the remaining contestants from the other stages and continue your contest in the Normal Colosseum."
"Also remember that the second graded disciples will also join the fray tomorrow."
"Don"t forget to be present at the Normal Colosseum tomorrow or it would count as your forfeit. Okay... that was all for today." Saying that, the elder disappeared from the stage as he left.
"Today"s finally over, master... you were great..." The golden beauty uttered with happiness."
However, soon, his happiness was replaced with worry as he voiced, "But it seems your handgun has almost reached its limits... if things continue like this, you won"t be able to defeat disciples with higher levels of cultivation... what are you going to do now, master?"
"Don"t worry my Belle, I will do something about it..." With a rea.s.suring smile, Virus replied.

THAT NIGHT
"What??! None of them were able to beat him up? Moreover... they were all defeated?!?" An enraged sound was heard from a specific room.
"Big brother... it seems that person has some kind of amazing weapon which makes the opponent unable to move..." A certain skinny male replied.
"Huh... what the h.e.l.l"s that supposed to mean... anyway, now that I think about it, this is actually better as I"ll be joining the match from tomorrow onwards. I will exact my revenge personally by my own hands!" Deadter uttered with a distorted savage face.
"But, you might not go against him till much later and by that time, he might"ve already lost." The skinny young man stated in doubt.
"Haha, that"s easy to solve, we just need to be a little generous..."

Since the moment the mutated HIV"s existence was announced, and everyone had learned that they were all ill, the atmosphere of the whole planet had changed a lot.
Some people had become very generous since that time, and lots of faithful people had begun to pray very intensely waiting for their entrance to heaven.
While this was true for some people, a lot of others were acting the complete opposite, as they did whatever they wished to do before departing to the nothingness.

"Let"s call him, we don"t have much time left... wanna join Sara?" A girl asked her friend.
"Hana, are you for real? You"re really going to do that?" Sara questioned.
"Of course... are you with me or not?!" Hana asked back.
"Hana, you know I will be with you no matter what! We"re best friends forever and that will remain like that until our last breath." Sara replied taking her friend"s hands into her own.
"Hehe, I knew you would say that, let me call him." Saying that, Hana called a specific number from his contact list.
.
.
.
"Hey Josh, how have you been... you know with the world ending and all... I was thinking if you would like to see me and Sara for one last time?" Hana asked, a little nervous.
.
.
.
"What did he say?"
"Of course he agreed! Let"s go."
.
.
.
"Hey (h.e.l.lo) Josh..." Hana and Sara greeted with a happy smile while looking at the handsome male in front of them.
"Hey Sara, hey Hana... to what do I owe the pleasure of getting a call from you two beauties?" Josh asked with a hot smile.
A little nervous, Hana replied, "You know... with all of us dying soon... We wanted to..." Unable to continue with her words, she looked at Sara, seeking help.
Seeing her friend unable to continue, Sara who never had any feelings for Josh continued, "You have a car right? Let"s go... we will explain there..."
.
.
.
Soon, a car had stopped in a rather quiet spot as the moans of two girls were kept being heard from inside.
"Ah... uh...Ahh..."
"Mhm, yes, there... more!"
"Mmm, Ahhh... Jos.h.!.+"
.
.
.
At another place, currently, a certain suited man looked at someone else as he uttered, "Boss... all of our brothers are gathered outside! What are we gonna do now?"
"Hmm... first, let"s visit our old friends and teach them all a listen." The boss answered as he picked his gun from above the table.
.
.

Bang~ Bang~ Bbang~
Soon, the sound of guns being shot was heard in a specific house in the middle of the night.
.
.
.
"Please... show some mercy... I"m gonna die in a year anyway... just let me remain by my family"s side to the very end." Someone begged.
"What"s the fun in that... just like how you took something I desired from me that time... I will take something you desire from you. Goodbye old friend."
Bang~
