Chapter 296: Battle
The demon trio also left the city after a while and came to the valley.
When they entered the valley, they immediately understood their disadvantage. Their beasts don't have much freedom of motion here.
If the beasts do attack, then the whole battle will be a mess as they would lose sight of their opponents.
At this moment, Watt opened the beast pouch and Falck appeared above the valley flying in the air.
Falck can attack from above, if needed.
The demon trio frowned. They know the battle prowess of the three people they are facing. They can fight with people of higher-levels, even if they are elites, now that they have broken through the Grand realm, they are already wary, now their only advantage has been eliminated.
If they don't attack here, Watt's group can actually bide their time here as they don't have any particular constraint on time, but the demon trio has a mission to complete.
They are already past the deadline of one month by a week and now they cannot wait any longer, they can only gamble and defeat the three of them.
They started entering the valley.
Soon, the two groups are face to face.
The demon trio are all seemed to be warriors. Tran used spear, Sylvia has a sword in her hand and Rid wore a pair of gloves.
Jack faced Sylvia without hesitation, while Philip faced Rid and Watt is left with Tran.
The atmosphere became tense and they had an intense stare- down.
At last, Sylvia made the first move. She unsheathed the sword and swung it in a horizontal arc. The sword ray covered all three of them.
The attack is large, but it has little power. Watt and the rest easily blocked the attack.
The battle started. Jack drew his sword, but this is not a horizontal or vertical arc, the sword ray was shot like a bullet. Sylvia is using a long sword which is more than three feet long, she blocked the sword ray, but it didn't disappear completely.
Rather the sword ray is like a splash of water as soon as sylvia cut the ray, it split into and hit her.
One of them went over her head, but the other half hit her in the abdomen. The attack was minimized a lot, but it still left a small scar on her skin.
Jack didn't wait for her to make a move, he took advantage of the attack and followed up with his next move.
As he attacked, Sylvia started blocking. But Jack's attacks are getting trickier by every move.
Every time, he made a move and Sylvia blocked them and the sword ray wouldn't stop there, the sword ray behaved like a drop of water and followed along the long sword and started injuring Sylvia's arm.
It is just like how, he attacked the opponent from the Lightning spear sect.
But Sylvia's defence is much stronger as she held the sword with both hands and her skill is more stable compared to the previous opponent.
The battle between two sword users started becoming intense. Sylvia's defence is great and so is Jack's offense, he didn't even give her any time to cope with the attacks and counter it.
Philip, has taken the same approach as he did with the thunder bolt sect disciples. He abandoned his speed and carefully maintained the precision.
But this, Rid is even faster than the previous dagger user, he is just like a wolf, agile, dexter and critical.
His every punch and kick are extremely fierce and vital. This time, Philip's counter didn't work as it did previously.
Rid attacked from the side aiming for a Lever Blow, as Philip let out a metallic spike from that place, he didn't back down, instead, Rid bent his body backwards in an unnatural angle as he changed the punch from lever blow to body blow.
The spike barely grazed on this chest, but Philip took a full hit. Even though, he is covered with metal, he still shook and took a step backwards.
For his precision attacks, the main factor is stability, but he wasn't able to get that. Once, his stability shook, he was forced into a fist fight.
Philip didn't see any other way, and opted to a fist fight. His fists are covered with metallic spikes and they are in red hot condition.
Philip didn't attack directly instead, he started dodging albeit it worked barely. He started moving towards a huge rock and placed his back towards it.
The rock has several protrusions and there is a gap which could fit two people in. As soon as Rid attacked, Philip took the hit and got hold of Rid's Arm.
He immediately used all his strength to force Rid into the gap between the rocks and covered the opening to go outside.
Philip has an extremely cold gaze, but his whole body became red hot and several metallic spikes protruded from his front body and even in the face. He grinned at Rid, who was in a shock.
He was so full of himself that he forced Philip out of his comfortable precision attacking, he didn't notice what Philip is doing. Now, he was stuck in a narrow space and Philip is right in front of them covering the only entrance.
He has an extremely bad feeling and that feeling only got stronger when he saw Philip's actions.
Philip's whole body was filled with spikes, and there is no gap for him to attack. If it was in a normal free terrain, he would have used his feet to attack, but now, he was stuck, he could barely take a step, much less kick.
Philip raised his fists. Now not only there are spikes at the knuckles of the fists, there is another addition. Philip switched back to his old style, the molten metal.
The molten metal started seeping out of the fists and is dripping from the spikes.
Philip then started his bashing. He didn't give a chance for Rid to even make a sound.
Rid can only use all his spiritual energy to create a shield so that he could block the attacks before his friends could save him.
Meanwhile. Watt and Tran are having an intense battle.
Watt the started the battle with his cards. He didn't hesitate and threw card after card to Tran. Tran whose is skilled in spear wasn't able to block them completely as Spear requires extremely large movements to block.
After some time, he grew frustrated and forcefully covered the distance and in process two cards leaf deep gashes on this chest and abdomen. They were struck there, but Tran completely disregarded them and didn't give Watt a chance to throw the card anymore.
But Watt wasn't worried a bit.
Just because he used cards, doesn't mean his ability to attack in close quarters is not bad. In fact, Tran was even regretting getting hand to hand.
Because, Watt's attacks are extremely ferocious. He activated the silver coat completely as he didn't care about the loss of spiritual energy, so he was able to take damage and as long as the spear didn't hit his torso from the front, he is not worried about the little damage he would face while facing the attacks.,
Tran wasn't able to be that carefree, because he has never seen any fighting style that is as brutal as Watt.
Tail wind of every punch and every kick of Watt are acting like wind blades. This would waste a lot spiritual energy, but Watt doesn't seem to care about this at all.
He has been making every move to kill. He wasn't able to take the humiliation from the day before and he took the greatest hit of all three. He still remembered how Tran destroyed the four formations with his spears and made a move. They are on verge of their deaths at that time.
Now, he is taking it out on Tron completely.
He started making his moves concentrated on the two wounds on Tron's upper body. Suddenly, the spear became almost useless. Watt is attacking like a madman.
Just like that, the three people who escaped from the demon trio are pummelling the demon trio.
At this moment, the Death eating wolf became restless. As Rid was been attack viciously inside the rock corner, the wolf has become extremely ferocious and leaped over to attack Philip. The valley is not big enough to accommodate the movement of the other two beasts and even wolf has very less space to attack to its full potential.
At this moment, Falck joined the frey, wind blades started pouring down on the wolf from the sky.
Falck is at a safe distance from the three beasts and they cannot do anything about it.
As Tron saw this whole scene, he went into a deep thought and closed his eyes for a movement. The tiger and the soul devouring elephant started roaring and the whole valley was resounding with that.
Suddenly, Watt, Philip and Jack felt some external interference in their spiritual consciousness, someone is attacking their souls. Jack is the first to recover and looked at the elephant coldly.
He could sense that the interference is from that elephant and he is extremely angry. These beasts are the reason they escaped in the first place, now they made preparations and brought the fight to his valley just for this reason. But this elephant still has this type of ability.
But it seemed quite undeveloped.
Suddenly the elephant moved its huge body and covered the complete view of the other side of it as it laid down. It seemed exhausted just from one move.
Sylvia, regained some momentum and stabbed Jack, directly. He took the hit and the sword left a scar on his abdomen.
But soon, the fight went back to the initial stage, where Jack simply overpowered Sylvia with his skill. Sylvia's swordsman seemed to be focused mostly on defence rather than attack, so she was unable to regain the battle into her hands.
As the fight went on. Philip was the first one to deal with his opponent. The rock that surrounded them started cracking slowly and soon it shattered. In between the pile of rocks, Rid was like a pile meat paste. His whole body was full of holes and he was bleeding from head to toe.
"RID."
Sylvia hollered in rage as she looked at Rid's body. He is barely breathing.
But Philip who was also exhausted, ended that breath with a single kick and Rid's head rolled to the side.
