For a brief moment, the entire arena fell into stunned silence, as confusion spread across countless faces, especially for the mages in the eastern stands, they could hardly believe that one of their own had been the first to fall.But the battle had only just begun, and amid the chaos of eliminating Sojin, Fang finally succeeded in escaping, after several failed attempts, he managed to transition fully into his smoke form, as the vines weren’t fast enough this time to restrain him, due to Brandon’s Golem being distracted.The moment he did, the treant golem withdrew its arm from the sand cloud above it, as it no longer saw any point in maintaining the setup when he wasn't a threat with that move again. Earlier, when Fang had been closer to the quicksand, it had posed a real threat to him as the vine was supported by the suction force of the Quicksand to drag him and split his attention, but now, with him fully intangible and at a distance, it couldn’t affect him anymore.“Leave him to

All the way from where he stood, Alec could tell that Takeda’s aura had grown stronger after swallowing the dark crystal, by a small margin, but that was only the beginning of his avatars falling one by one._ _Shin was panting hard as he stared at the puppet before him, at the same time, he kept a wary eye on Beatrice, who still stood at the back with her left hand raised high.At the tips of her fingers, a glowing blue-white light flickered, showing that her mana threads were still active, though he couldn’t tell exactly the limit of what they were attached too.Before him crouched a human puppet with completely white eyes, wielding a sword that seemed to burn with endless fire, that seemed as if it was never once going out, and he was clad in a complete red armor set that was covered in its own blood.It was the first time Shin had seen a master willing to equip their summons with a spirit equipment set even though they did not have one themselves.That only made Beatrice even mor

Clang!Titan raised his mace to defend against the Great sword, but the ice weapon shattered in the process because Earth Takeda had struck a vulnerable point with enough force, however he didn’t stop there as the blade continued downward until it finally struck Titan’s left shoulder, driving him down onto one knee.“Take that, you block of ice,” Earth Takeda said, but instead of replying to him, Titan just wrapped his left hand around Takeda’s own before casting a spell.[> Mid Tier Spell — Ice Clone Escape <]In an instant, his semi-kneeling body transformed into a faceless ice sculpture before Earth Takeda’s eyes.Confusion flashed across his face, as he could not comprehend how such a thing had happened, then he heard a creaking sound, followed by a soft thud, as a massive surge of ice particles rose not far from the sculpture, and in the next instant, Titan’s body reformed there completely unharmed.Earth Takeda felt a surge of frustration, and that was because of the fact that h

But despite reacting quickly to avoid being struck while still numb, a state which left him extremely vulnerable, he was still a bit slower than usual, after all, it was the adrenaline rush that had allowed him to jab Butcher away, since he didn’t want the paralysis to last any longer.Even as Legion closed the distance, he still wasn’t done with constructing his new weapon, with Takeda’s body still partially paralyzed, Legion decided to seize the opportunity to create something worth the chance that Butcher had fought to give. Instead of rushing in recklessly, he began crafting a missile-type weapon, one that is specifically designed to deliver massive damage in a very short time frame, and the weapon he had in mind and formed was known as the Storm Rack.The moment its construction was complete, Legion hoisted it onto his shoulder, it was long and rectangular, with multiple missile heads protruding from the front and a grip positioned near the center for stability.Seeing Legion pr

Despite having the two golems charge at him, Takeda didn’t seem to care all that much, he swung out two swift slashes, sending sword Qi racing through the air toward them before they could even meet in the middle.After releasing the slashes, Legion fell back, dropped to one knee, and raised his sniper rifle weapon which he had constructed earlier. Titan, however, didn’t stop, he kept dashing forward, his hands trailing behind him as he moved in low.The moment the slashes reached him, he tilted his body slightly and bypassed them, finally entering Takeda’s attack range, but Takeda already had a smile on his face. With a quick back hand jab, he drove the hilt of his sword straight toward Titan’s neck, however; before it could land, Titan’s left hand had moved to intercept it, as a small thud rang out after he was finally able to block it, this was followed by a shockwave that rippled across the ground beneath them.Though it looked like a casual exchange, however; the attack carried
