Chapter 185: Die

"Hmph. Your time has already passed, Uther. Even if you got people to help you, they won\'t be able to take back this country." The man who was hiding in the darkness spoke in a haughty manner. Although their forces already lost many people, he still believed in their victory.

"We\'ll just have to wait and see." Uther brandished his Glaive and swung it. A pure white wave was released in a crescent shape, hurtling towards its target. The man also brought out his sword and countered with a dark slash as well. Uther seemed to be using Light magic, while the other used Dark magic. Both of them were opposites of each other. Neither could hold the advantage.

Gobuta was in a heated battle with the man in front of him. His opponent relied heavily on his speed to get around, but Gobuta managed to react in time. Dozens of sword slashes were sounded per second. The sparks that resulted from these weapons caused the night sky to brighten up. It was as if a comet lit up the sky as it passed by. Except for this time, many comets appeared.

"Okay everyone, regroup. A strong one has appeared." Eric shouted to catch the attention of his comrades. Like Gobuta earlier, he noticed the appearance of an Immortal Establishment. As none of them were at such a level, they needed to gang up on him to defeat him.

"You guys should take care of the minions. I and Edmund will fight him." As the strongest one present, Leonard devised a fight plan.

"No. You guys should be the ones to do that. We need to learn to fight stronger opponents. Plus, you don\'t have to worry. We\'re all geniuses here so we should be able to handle it. He\'s only a level 1 anyway." Eric decided to leave matters in the hands of the younger generation.

"No, we can\'t have you killed by some like him." Leonard seemed to be adamant about fighting that man.

"You don\'t have to worry. Raikou down there is keeping an eye on us. He was the one who noticed the man first." Griffin spoke as he looked towards Raikou. Raikou was still going around with Oliver taking care of the weak opponents. But, his eyes never left the group of young people.

"You understand how they feel, don\'t you, Leonard? Let them do what they want. We\'ll save them in case something happens." Edmund came to the aid of the young people. Leonard sighed and nodded his head. As they finished their conversation, their enemies closed in on them.

"Have you finished saying your goodbyes?" The Immortal Establishment enemy had a nasty look on his face. His eyes were narrow, looking like slits. He was like a snake in the way he looked. \'Let\'s call him Snake from now on.\' Eric smiled as he thought to himself. All of them readied themselves to fight him. Leonard and Edmund engaged with the other men that came with him.

"So, I\'m stuck with brats." Snake didn\'t pull out any weapons. He seemed to be the type to fight with his hands. His fingers to be exact, as he cracked them while taking a stance similar to a tiger\'s.

"Well then, as an elder you should take it easy on us." Eric played with Snake. However, he didn\'t seem to like it too much, as he rushed towards them. Each one of them knew how dangerous this fight would. So, they all started going at a hundred percent from the get-go.

"Velocitas, Potentia Amplificato!" Alicia used the same technique from the tournament. But this time, she used it on all of them and not only herself. Everyone could feel that their speed and power increased due to this. Yet, even with this boost, the man\'s natural capabilities surpassed theirs. He seemed to be targeting Emilia as he closed in on her before she could escape.

Emilia conjured over twenty magic swords from both fire an ice. She thrust ten towards him while kept ten in front of her as a barrier. Obviously, the swords couldn\'t injure Snake but only served to slow him down. Before he could destroy all twenty, the others caught up to him. They still didn\'t manage to injure him, as he w blocking their attacks with his bare hands. He retaliated and sent Ellie and Alicia flying. Blood dripped from Ellie\'s mouth and nose and he hit her in the face. Alicia was hit in the stomach, but not as bad as Ellie.

"I\'ll take the charge, you guys support me," Griffin told them as they needed a solid fighting plan. He activated his QI, as well as Ren. Eric did the same. This was their trump card, as they were taught by Arthur himself. Ed had also recommended doing this to increase the power of Avalon.

Thanks to the previous boost, Griffin could now keep up with Snake. The latter couldn\'t keep blocking with hands, as Griffin\'s enhanced swords were injuring him. Thanks to the support from the others, they were pushing him back.

"Useless!" The man released a QI wave to push them back but failed. Seeing that he was in a sore spot, he seemed to activate something. The tip of his fingers started going purple. He thrust his hand toward the face of Griffin in an even greater speed than before.

"He\'s using Poison magic, be careful!" Emilia managed to identify what he was doing. Unfortunately, he managed to scratch Griffin\'s face. In an instant, his cheek started going purple. The poison was acting fast.

"Consano!" Alicia quickly made her way to heal Griffin. Snake tried to stop her, but Eric started taking him on. Alicia needed to use the same technique three times in order to fully dispel the poison. Eric, Emilia, and Ellie were now being pushed back. They needed to fight Snake while being careful not to get poisoned.

"Thank you, Miss Alicia." Griffin thanked her as they both joined their companions again. The fight started heating up, with both sides getting injured. Alicia was working the hardest as she needed to heal anyone that got poisoned. She could truly feel how her training with Merry helped her.

As they were fighting, their attention was stolen by lightning like blows that sounded in the sky. They looked up to see Uther clashing with his opponent. Both of them were injured, but Uther seemed to have the upper hand. Next up, a frightening amount of QI was felt, which caused them to stop moving. Even Snake couldn\'t help but stop his fight to see what was causing this.

They looked towards Gobuta\'s battlefield to see his opponent missing an arm and a leg. Gobuta had an injury in his left arm but didn\'t seem to be deep. The origin of the QI seemed to be Gobuta, as a purple aura was surrounding him.

Gobuta was using both QI and Ren. His aura was blowing up more and more as it increased in size. His opponent couldn\'t help but shudder in fear, as he couldn\'t escape from the monster in front of him. Gobuta\'s aura seemed to reach the maximum size he wanted since it stopped. Slowly, it started to get infused into his sword. The entirety of the purple aura concentrated so much that it turned his sword black.

Gobuta descended, making his opponent just above him. Then, he put the sword above his head and swung it towards his opponent. "DIE!" Gobuta screamed while releasing the gigantic attack. His opponent couldn\'t do anything as the crescent slash consumed him. The slash continued its way until the sky, which seemed to be split after the attack. Gobuta smiled as he looked at his work, but then stopped. Only then he remembered that he lost the spatial ring along with the man.
