Chapter 208: Team knockout exercise (4)

As for the earth element was Haldor because even though it wasn't his main element, you couldn't compare the rank 4 to someone in the '30s.

The main reason for this thought was because of the large gap between them, but only Blake's team knew the reason why he was still in the same rank was that he was still in training.

As for the lightning element, they would have given it to Blake especially after redirecting the lightning during their match with Owen's team, but they had to give it to Damon's team.

Not only did they have 2 lightning users, but Camilla was from the Karius family that was known for their lightning talent, so she was at least meant to be on par with Blake.

The only reason they were given the win in the fire element was that they had 3 fire users, but if not for Luciano they would have said it was useless because of the presence of 3 submergers.

"Yup, they are all waiting to see all fail." Brian said when he found out about the views of the majority.

"Lol, we never came here to ask for their opinions, we came here for the points." Blake said in an expectant tone.

"What is lol?" Tessie asked.

"Oh, it means to laugh out loud." Blake said with a sheepish smile on his face.

"Why say it when you didn't laugh out loud?" At this point, Blake didn't know how to explain but that was when an announcement came from Professor Gibson.

"It's time for the final round. Team 1 and team 7 please move to the battleground!"

Blake thanked the heavens as he made the team hurry to the battleground.

"Begin!" The referee announced the start of the final match, but unlike what everyone expected, both teams didn't initiate.

"Leave Damon to me, you guys should handle the rest." Luciano said as his body was engulfed by golden flames before dashing towards Damon.

Seeing this, Blake activated lightning reinforcement and dashed towards the next biggest threat, Haldor.

On seeing Blake and Luciano coming, Damon's team decided not to make the mistake of letting these two get close to their backline and support.

Damon brought out 2 daggers, while Haldor covered his body with a spiky layer of earth. They dashed towards the 2, meeting them in the middle.

Damon was considered to have the advantage in close combat and since Blake was superior in speed Haldor decided to focus more on his offense.

When Damo approached Luciano, he swung his daggers aiming for his neck, but to his greatest surprise, Luciano easily dodged the attack while hitting him on the inner part of both of his wrists.

The attack caused his grip on the daggers to loosen while leaving him open.

Flameburst!

BOOM!

Damon was sent flying backward, but that wasn't all from Luciano. He began charging a large flame spear at an incredible speed in order to seal the deal, but that was when multiple thorny plant vines appeared below him.

"Humph…" Luciano snorted on Esmeralda's futile effort as he jumped into the air while releasing a burst of golden flames before throwing the flame spear at Damon who was still on the floor.

The plant vines woefully failed to stop Luciano, but that was when a 6 layered water barrier appeared and stopped the flame spear.

'Interesting…' Luciano thought as he looked at the 3 submergers responsible for the water barriers.

His eyes quickly changed from them as they continued moving through empty spaces.

'How the fuck can he see me?' Thanks to the water barriers Damon was out of his previous spot and was in stealth mode, but somehow Luciano kept on seeing his every move.

From their little exchange, Castiel discovered that Luciano was twice as much of a beast as Blake when it came to martial arts. Because of that Castiel was keeping his distance.

"So, be it..." Seeing that Damon had no plans of coming close, Luciano turned and I instantly fired a fireball thrice the size of a regular fireball at Esmeralda.

Damon keeping his distance meant there was no one stopping him from attacking the backline.

Water barrier!

Once again 6 water barriers blocked the attack, causing Luciano to frown and that was a bad sign.

On seeing the frown on Luciano's face, their heart skipped a beat, and to prevent their backline from being wiped out, Damon dashed towards Luciano with 7 darkness tendrils sticking out of his back.

…

On Blake's side of the battleground, he tries the normal way of dashing in and easily eliminating the target, but the support was making things hard.

From their previous matches, Damon's team had learnt not to try to block his sword but to dodge it.

The problem was that when Haldor failed to dodge them using fire or earth elements, things like plant vines and water spells were aimed at him to either eliminate him or make him lose miss his attack.

'Time to get serious.' Blake said with a frown as he took in a deep breath causing the lightning arcs on his body to double in size.

He threw Ebony and ivory in their combined form before dashing towards Haldor while dodging fire and earth spells.

The sword was quick but Haldor wasn't slow either. He easily dodged the sword, and when he turned, Blake was already in front of him, but this time not with his sword.

Covering his fists with mana, Blake slapped out Haldor's right hand coming for him, before unleashing a barrage of punches that shattered the layer of spiky earth on him.

Haldor was still stunned by the passive of the Raiju breathing technique, giving Blake the time to charge Flameburst punch.

BOOM!

Haldor was sent flying, but that was when Blake released a strong magnetic field that attracted the great sword back to him at a terrifying speed.

"Noo!" The 3 girls screamed when they saw the blade going for Haldor.
