Inside his soul sea, Howk was getting frustrated, that his time had come and he could no longer enjoy his life, he wanted to do many things before the destined time and he even took drugs to slow it down, but the time came, at last, and it couldn't be delayed any further. He grabbed the new weapon before him and started chanting.

"The time of the demon had come, the time the demon will rise again, not as a demon but as a demon lord. I Howk, master of this newly formed soul weapon, summon you the Chaotic Abyss Demon to show before me."

After the end of the chant a sound came from his rear, Huss~~~~ Huss~~~

"I have been here all this time, waiting for your summon."

"Oof, never knew you were there," Howk replied.

"Master, we shouldn't delay any further, your time is coming," added the Chaotic Abyss Demon.

"Yes, we shouldn't. But before that, let me give you a nickname. Calling you with your lengthy name is a hassle."

"As you wish, master."

"Hmm… How about Abyss Demon?" 

Chaotic Abyss Demon "...."

"What you didn't like?"

"Master you just cut that Chaotic part from my name. Can it be counted as a nickname??"

"Ehh… But I like the name Abyss Demon, that chaotic is just like an extra, so I removed it."

Abyss Demon "...."

"Anyway, it's decided your nickname will be Abyss Demon, and full name as you know Chaotic Abyss Demon."

"As you wish, my master." said the Abyss Demon and dived in his shadow.

Howk abruptly opened his eyes and looked towards the sky, then towards the giant Guardian Eagle sitting before him. 

"What are you looking at, boy?" asked the Guardian eagle. "Even the heavens can't save you know. Five more minutes, I will go down and will die and will let you all die with me."

Spectators "....."

Sir Jean switched on the speaker and replied, "Not interested."

Yoshino "Not interested."

Aryan "Not interested."

Hearing their reply on the speakers, Guardian eagle was getting pissed, but he didn't talk back and sat down quietly in his final moments. He had already burnt down his life force in the aurora, in an exchange of self-detonation. All he had to then was to wait and enjoy his final moments.

Howk sighed out and looked at the sky again, "It's gonna rain today." he commented.

"What?!! Have you gone blind in your final moments? The sky is clear, no dark clouds there."

"Ahahahahah, hahahahaha, ahahahah", Howk started laughing. "But I can see a cloudy sky, up above."

Everyone present was getting confused by his talks, some were even thinking 

'This lad has lost it.'

Only Sir Jean knew what he was talking about.

Howk raise up his right hand and pointed his index finger towards the sky. The sky was the same as usual, no changes were found. Yoshino was about to ask Sir Jean about the sanity of Howk when he found something unusual with Howk.

He was concentrating all of his chakra energy in his index finger, he understood in a second what he gonna do and gasped in shock. "Bro, don't tell me, he will..."

"Yes, his time has come to go above."

Listening to their convo Aryan was getting emotional, even though he didn't know Howk for a long time, he was feeling a closeness with him, after seeing his fight. Drop by drop tears flowed down from his eyes. The first drop fell on Sir Jean's hand. He wiped out his tears and asked the reason for his crying.

Aryan didn't know what to reply, so all he said was, "It came out of nowhere, and I can't stop it now."

Sir Jean laughed at his reply and said to him to let the tears wash away the dirt in his eyes. Aryan understood what he wanted to say and went behind the VIP zone's washroom to cry secretly and wash his face.

Meanwhile, in the arena, after concentrating all of his chakra energy on his finger, he took a deep breath and fired it all towards the sky.

Izzzzz...booom!!!!!

Came an ear-splitting sound. Aryan got startled by the sound and came running from the washroom to check on the arena. The huge amount of chakra energy went up into the sky and vanished after some time. Aryan came late and all he could see was the trail marks by that energy attack.

Just after the attack vanished, dark clouds began appearing in the sky, thunder started rumbling, the wind began to blow, the surrounding was getting darker, even with all the lights around.

Suddenly, a thunder came down and fell upon Howk. This time Aryan didn't startle like the first time and observed the event carefully. Instead of showing any movement or defending himself, Howk spread his hands and accepted the first thunder.

The moment it fell upon him his surrounding became smoky, obstructing everyone's vision. After some minutes when the smoke disappeared they saw Howk in his red armament suit again, with a new weapon on his hand.

It was the same weapon that he had grabbed in his soul sea, the weapon that was a hybrid of shuriken and his old Howzer. Chakra energy was leaking out from his suit, but not like the first time, where it was gushing out at a faster rate.

He stretched his body, did some simple exercises, and then shouted, "Bring it on, I am ready to rock."

Aryan "..."

He was observing everything, but his understanding was zero on the events taking place before him.

After coming from the washroom he saw an energy trail in the sky, then Howk spreading his hands and looking towards the sky, then a thunder fell upon him, and instead of hurting him, it transformed him into his chakra armament mode!!!

'The hell is going on here?!!'

He sat again on Sir Jean's lap and enjoyed the show before him; he was not sure what's happening before him and was too lazy to think what's gonna happen next, so he sat quietly with his refreshments to enjoy the show.

The lightning prevailed throughout the sky again, the rumbling sound became louder, and Boom!!

The second thunder fell upon Howk, this time he took a defensive position to protect himself from the thunder. Smokes disappeared, and the figure became visible again. Seeing him safe and unscratched, the spectators started cheering for him. 

"Howk, Howk, Howk...."

"Cooool Bro Howk… You can do it, you can do it….."

Aryan saw the happiness on their faces and asked Sir Jean about it.

"Uncle J, why are they cheering for him now, isn't it his..."

"Yes, they are cheering for him to raise his confidence. Well, you know Heavenly Tribulations are never so easy…. And all we can do is cheer and pray for him."

Aryan "....."

Sir Jean continued, "But well, I know that kid, his abilities and his potential. I can vouch that he will ascend to the fourth stage in less than 2 minutes."

Aryan "....."

"So, don't worry too much, and enjoy the show."

'Hehe-sure. Enjoy the match,' agreed on Aryan and diverted his attention towards the match again. After watching it for some time he started cursing, 'Fck you Seven. All this time I was thinking Howk will die, his time has come, he won't be able to do what he wanted to do before….. But it was a Heavenly Tribulation all this time!!!.'

Aryan turned around again and asked Sir Jean what he meant when he said he won't be able to do the thing that he likes the most and he is taking drugs….

"Ah…. That..... The thing is after ascending to the fourth stage, agents will be given continuous mission for two years, and will be asked to seclude themselves from the outside world."

"I see."

"And for your information, Howk is a soccer player and the best one at that. So he was taking pills to delay his breakthrough."

"I see," replied Aryan.

At that time he wanted to shout, 'Fck you seven, give me back, my emotional moments and tears' but he refrained himself from showing such behavior and continued watching the events in the arena.

Now it was time for the third thunder to descend, Howk was getting ready when he heard some crackling noise from his waist region. He looked down and saw his new weapon was emitting out thunder and showing some resonance with the Heavenly Tribulation thunder. He took it out, placed it between his hands, and closed his eyes to summon the Abyss Demon into it.

"Master, I can sense the will of the weapon, it can absorb the Heavenly Tribulation thunder, but..."

"But what?!!" asked Howk.

"But you will die after observing that power. Your soul sea will be distorted within a second."

Howk "....."

"Instant death!!!"

Howk remained silent for a while before saying, "Abyss Demon, you know..."

"No, I don't," interfered the Abyss Demon.

Howk gritted his teeth and continued, "You know, I have an urge to spank someone now. Spank hard in his a**. It's just not the right time to do so. Or else..."

"Cough, cough, Master, I think we should focus on clearing the Heavenly Tribulation for now."
