Once the rooftop was blown away, the scene inside the fifth floor made the beggar smile.
He saw the mayor in the middle of a wide room, sitting with crossed legs while his body was covered in deep red smoke. The floor is covered in intricate red symbols, letting out blood-coloured light.
Besides these symbols are hundreds of black-robed men, their hands raised and pointed towards the fatso in the center. Red energy came out of them, fuelling the symbols on the floor.
Apollo smirked. "I’ve found you! "
At the same time, gazes landed upon him. He saw the butler of the mayor walking out from the hundreds of robed men and staring at him with eyes squinted, hiding his pupils.
Furthermore, a woman and two men flew out from the fifth floor and surrounded him on all sides, and adding the twins and the strange array master Four, there are six individuals covering his escape route.
"Your move is unexpected," one of them said, who floated a few feet away from the beggar.
Seeing how the others are not saying a word and letting the man talk, Apollo concluded that the person in front of him is their leader. "You must be one," the beggar said.
One has a bald head and a face so average that people will easily forget him if they only saw him once. He wore a dark monk outfit with beads adorning his neck. Hands clasped in front of him, but compared to the monk the beggar saw in his previous life that let out a solemn and heavenly aura, this baldy in front of him is letting out a foul smell and heavy atmosphere. But the most prominent feature of One is the vertical eye on his forehead.
"And you must be..." One’s third eye opened, his voice filled with confidence but shattered as he couldn’t finish his sentence. "You must be... You must be..."
"Do you have Tourette syndrome?" Why are you stuttering so much? "Apollo couldn’t help but ask. "Can’t you say what’s on your mind? "
The seven members looked at each other as they couldn’t understand what the beggar just said.
"You, what are you? "Suddenly, the monk’s confused voice echoed.

"Me? I’m just your friendly neighbourhood beggar! I’m here to stop this evilness! "Apollo placed his hands beside his hips and puffed up his chest.
But the Seven weren’t amused by his words, but they stared at One in shock.
"One can’t see through this invader?! "The twin’s shock voice echoed.

"This can’t be! This is the first time that this has happened! "Two is a woman who wears very conservative clothes, only revealing her delicate hands and face.
Four stared at the beggar while secretly raising his hand.
"Oh? It seems like you have the ability to see through a person and know something from them; that’s interesting," Apollo nodded before he shook his head. "But unfortunately, I don’t have time to be amazed by your ability. Okay bye! "
With that said, he exploded his back with Wind Blast, his body becoming a blur and appearing on top of the black-robed men.
However, before he could wreak havoc, the red line symbol appeared in front of him. Then two red energy whips tried to hold his body. Fortunately, his instincts told him in advance, and with another explosion of the wind blast, he dodged the attack while trying to find an opening from the barrier.
"Gotcha," Apollo smiled as he saw that the symbol barrier didn’t fully enclose the top of the black robe men, as on the far edge of the barrier, there’s a small crevice.
He didn’t use the lightning attribute, not because he didn’t want to increase his speed but because he couldn’t. The previous explosion of lightning that he did almost drained him of the energy to utilise this attribute.
Apollo will need a day just for the usable lightning in his body to come back.
"Stop." A woman’s voice rang out. It didn’t come from behind but in front of the beggar.
Apollo’s eyes widened as a red smoke appeared in front of him before the woman clad in a conservative black dress materialised.
"Ah f*ck." He couldn’t help but curse before he exploded the air below him, his body propelling vertically and away from the woman. "That’s cheating! "
"In life and death, there’s no such thing as cheating. Every move is a fair play," the monk said, his voice reaching the beggar even though there’s a distance between them and One is talking softly.
"Blah blah," Apollo scoffed and raised his middle finger towards the baldy. But deep inside, he is actually quite anxious. He couldn’t do another multi-cast technique as it’s going to deplete his refined qi. He could use the surrounding Qi, but their power will be reduced by almost half. That amount is negligent to the Seven, especially when lightning is their only weakness besides brute strength.
Damnit, why the hell he’s taking too long? Apollo couldn’t help but get annoyed that backup is not here yet.
He could hold out against the Seven. Apollo is confident he could kill them even if these six fought him together. But he had to disrupt the ongoing ritual on the fifth floor of Klown’s mansion. With these two responsibilities, it’s going to be hard.
"I guess I don’t have a choice." Apollo’s body let out watery smoke that spread far in the sky. This time, he is going to multi-cast all of the techniques he knows using the Hydra Mirage along with his remaining refined QI.
When the mist turned into dozens of Apollo, the Seven became serious as they could feel a threat coming their way.
One’s third eye let out a red glow that covered the whole state. The atmosphere dropped, and pressure descended as the intense lightning transformed into a ten-handed red Buddha.
Seeing the twenty- to thirty-foot-tall projection behind the monk, the beggar couldn’t help but gulp. Did I mess up? Should I have followed their plan? Went up a floor one by one instead of taking a shortcut?
At the same time, the spinning symbol covered four hands; the twin making whips burnt brighter while the others used their unique abilities.
"Sh*t," Apollo cursed before he took a deep breath. Now that he’s here and already used the Hydra Mirage to the fullest, he couldn’t just back down. "Here goes nothing."
With that said, he began letting out his refined qi, and when he’s about to use all of his techniques through his clones, someone says from behind him.
"Save it. Use it on Klown instead."
Turning around, the beggar saw the Headmaster of the Great Serpent along with Elmo, the headmaster of the Sword and Shield Martial School.
"What took you guys so long? "Apollo asked, clearly annoyed by them.
"We have to wait for the approval, and it seems like we arrived just in time," Axton explained with a smile on his face.
"You have been busy, Can Deez," Elmo said, eyes glinting at the beggar.
"I don’t know what you’re talking about," Apollo shrugged.
"You know," Elmo smiled before he focused on the six individuals around them. "So these are the seven; why are there only six?" "
"I’ve killed him," Apollo proudly said. "A piece of cake."
"We will handle them," Axton nodded towards the Seven while his gaze never left the beggar. "How confident are you to disrupt their ritual?"
"I don’t know," Apollo answered truthfully. "It depends, but as long as you keep the Seven in check, I can do it."
"That wouldn’t be a problem," Axton said as he stared at the giant red Buddha. "This guy is going to be problematic, but it’s fine."
"Alright, good luck," Apollo said while he took cover behind them. He will just have to find an opportunity to disrupt the ritual while he regains some of his strength.
Although the previous fights didn’t last long, he still used a considerable amount of his Qi and energy.
"I will take this giant; you will take the others," Axton said to Elmo.
"Just don’t cry if you can’t defeat it," Elmo smirked as his body became a blur and instantly appeared in front of the Twins. With a punch, the wind immediately tore apart, and the blast tossed the Twins in the air, though they immediately stabilised their bodies.
"As if," Axton said as he floated in front of the monk while the fight continued in the background.
"This is the first time that we met," Axton smiled at his opponent.
"Yes, but I know something from you," the monk said.
"Tell me," Axton said with a raised eyebrow.
"This is not your real body," the badly stated.
Hearing this, a frown appeared on the Great Serpent Headmaster. "How did you know that information? Who told you that? "
"I have the power to know something." One then turned to the beggar who’s shooting some wind blast and other techniques on the fifth floor. "But this person, I couldn’t get past him."
