Chapter 720 One Vs Six
Chapter 720 One Vs Six
It all happened in a flash.
When Joshua's fists met with Varian's, a torrent of lightning flooded his body and attempted to numb him from the inside.
Joshua didn't have much problem if it was only lightning mana, but the problem was the water mana that came soon after.
It slowed down his chi that tried to expel the lightning mana and caused his internal injuries to rise.
On the other hand, Varian was blown away a few steps after a direct clash with Joshua.
Before he could react, the space around him cracked apart and numerous cuts appeared on his body.
"Hahahaha." Varian burst into laughter as he felt the blood in his body boil.
War.
Blood.
Death.
"Come!"
Varian's body turned into a streak of lightning and he rushed to the abyssals.
His right hand was covered with a lightning gauntlet while his left was covered with an ice one.
He single-handedly fought against three abyssals who were the best body awakeners of level 7.
With each punch, the air exploded and the trees of the island broke apart.
Following each kick, shockwaves swept the soil on the island and created a sand storm.
At some point, Joshua and Axel also entered the fight.
Yet, Varian matched them all.
Bone-chilling ice slowed down Travis and ice phoenixes attacked him.
Vela had trouble moving since the space around her was blocked off and space blades tried to cut off her limbs.
A lightning spear matched Osbert's punches.
Whenever an abyssal broke through these attacks, a lightning strike or an ice sword would arrive and prevent them until they were forced to engage with the previous fights.
On the other hand, an invisible sword was clashing against Axel's sword strikes.
A psychic power prevented Kai from doing much.
And…
"Hahaha!"
Varian's superhuman strength was used against Joshua.
As they went from punch to punch and kick to kick, red blood spilled as Varian's skin cracked and his bones cracked.
Varian, this monster was injured!
The expressions of everyone except Joshua brightened.
'He's not using his full strength, dammit!' Joshua understood his own situation clearly.
Varian was no longer using lightning and water powers.
He was fighting him solely with his body powers.
Yet…
"One more!" Varian laughed as his arm turned into a brown branch and his broken bones were fixed in an instant.
Joshua punched him hard and Varian once again barely blocked it before being blown into a distance.
'He grew stronger.'
Joshua was certain.
Varian used no other powers. But he fared significantly better than last time.
'How?'
"Attack!"
Varian teleported in front of him abruptly and punched.
With a snort, Joshua threw a punch and Varian's chest bones broke as he flew away again.
Even less distance this time.
'What is happening?' Joshua had an ominous feeling.
He wanted to ask his 'teammates' to help, but they were all engaged by this bastard.
"Well, we can indeed spice it up." Varian seemed to have noticed the regret in Joshua's eyes and snapped his fingers.
The attacks against the humans and abyssals disappeared all of a sudden.
"Come on. Let me at least have the pleasure of hunting. You are the top dogs of the hunting list after all."
As they looked at each other with a determined gaze, the six rained down attacks on Varian.

"D-Die!"
Judie cursed as launched a grand attack on Ron.
A loud explosion rang out as Ron's spaceship was crushed into pieces.
In front of it was Ron, bloodied from head to toe and panting heavily.
Under the heavy injuries, Ron felt a huge pressure on his body that threatened to crush his bones into powder.
The gravity, this fucking gravity, it was crushing him.
"You're the one going down today." Raising his head as veins popped up on his neck, Ron glared at Judie.
The guy who was responsible for his sister's plight.
Bringing the strength from the depths of his being, Ron's figure moved.
He wasn't fast by any stretch, barely in the speed level of a level 3.
But each step he took was a huge shock to Judie who was already trying his best to freeze Ron.
Realizing that he couldn't stop the abyssal, Judie applied gravity on himself, and his body blurred as he dashed away.
"I'm not letting you go this time."
The gravity pressure on Ron plummetted and the abyssal immediately retrieved ten shining spears and shot the at the human.
Piercing through the space, the spears chased after the 'locked' target, Judie.
"Bullshit!"
Judie cursed as he ran away from the spears chasing from all directions.
With a clench of his fists, the spears slowed down before clashing against each other and exploding.
"Hah!"
Just as Judie was complacent, he felt Ron's increasing speed.
The spears were just a distraction!
"You!"
As Ron reached in front of him whose body was pulled towards a spaceship in the far distance, Judie's mouth froze.
"I've grown from the last time," Ron said as he raised his fist.
Judie wanted to open a defense field but was too exhausted.
"I—"
A fist broke through his head and blasted his skull to pieces. The brain matter and blood splattered on Ron who stood still in space.
'Ah!'
Ron suddenly raised a brow and tapped his bracelet. 'How are they doing now?'
"They're fine."
"Huh?"
Ron raised his head and looked at the familiar abyssal in front of him.
He was drenched in red and…green blood?
"Var, what are you doing here?" Ron narrowed his eyes.
Did the mission finish or…
"Do you believe it's possible for an abyssal like Var to exist?"
"Huh?"
What was that question?
"A guy who was normal until his parents died suddenly fires up and trains hard. Sure, it's nice to hear. But great training won't make a very ordinary guy number one of all time, no?"
"What are you talking about?" Ron felt an uneasy feeling grip his heart and suddenly his eyes widened.
"Wait, how are you even talking, isn't your conditio—Who the fuck are you?"
"At last…"
With a sigh, 'Var' turned into a human.
Seeing that face, Ron's eyes shook with complicated emotions.
"V-Varian!"
"That's me. Nice to meet you, abyssal Ron." Varian said.
"Y-You deceived me, deceived us the whole time…"
"I did."
"You bastard!" Ron's aura burst out and his fist reached Varian's face in an instant.
"Die!"
