Chapter 88: Leaf Humming Blade Attack

The crowds were about to open their mouths, ready to shout. They saw the two young nobles releasing multiple elesps. They were shocked. For Rank Dih Elementalists, having two to three elesps were already a good thing but these two had so many.

Furthermore, they released not just one, but three each!

That was talent. Activating one elesp was already mind taxing like having another arm grow from your body, but they were able to release three.

So that explains why they were called promising young nobles.

The people had already thought that Avion Teller would get captured at that point and tried to run away to escape the remaining attacks.

But suddenly, they heard a weird sound. It was like a vibration but strong and abrupt. 

Brrr* Brrr*

Master Yown looked and saw two bodies on the ground with their face unrecognizable, worse than the three that were beaten up on the side.

'That was harsh, six elesps at the same time. But these two young nobles are improving. Their elesps activation time is so fast. Maybe even faster than mine! Avion Teller was so beaten up, his face gotten mushy and his body became two....' he sighed with complex emotinos, but in the middle of that sigh, it was as if a bolt of lightning hit him, 'Wait... two bodies?' he looked again to see the scene.

Two bodies were on the ground, unmoving. Their faces became mushy that it was a little disgusting. The six formless books by their sides just began to fade away.

"Dodge!" many reacted but before they run, they paused. They were just about to react but saw that it was already finished.

"....."

In the middle of attention, Avion was still, standing stiff on the ground. There was dried blood on both of his fists. Skin was torn and pulled. It was tightly clenched and in front of him, the Guild Master and Mettany could see his red eyes.

Mettany gasped in realization. Tears came out of her eyes and she couldn't do anything to stop it.

"Young Noble Van! Young Noble Jhin!" Master Yown shouted, he could only react after a moment.

"Shit! Shit! Shit!" the master, the expert, the Leaf Humming Blade had a pale expression. His complexion and demeanor were destroyed. He was breathing deeply as he kneeled down, bringing out two immediate elesps. A strong burst of energy came out of him. There was a rejuvenating sensation that the other people felt. Just from being near the formless books' green light was already lightly healing them!

Brrr*

"Ah!" after another strange sound, Master Yown was abruptly thrown to the back!

His face bled while he sat on the ground, feeling immense pain. There were countless footprints across his face, flattening his nose, "...What?" he muttered.

This time, gasps erupted from the crowd. Although they were still caught unguarded, this time, they were focused on Master Yown who was desperate on healing the two young nobles.

That was when they saw the figure of Avion, having his right foot lifted up, stomping onto the Leaf Humming Blade's face. There were a lot of images that were overlapping that it seemed like Avion's figure was vibrating instead.

But the sound... Seeing how Avion attacked, many had their imaginations became active. However, only the Guild Master knew what was really happening.

'Avion can stop time. Meaning, he can attack numerous times in a single second. What he will just do is to deactivate-activate the stoppage of time when his attack would hit. For him, he was making an attack one by one but for us, it was all in an instant.' he had already formed this thought before asking Avion.

The world became black and white again. Avion walked towards the Leaf Humming Blade and strongly stomped his left foot. When the sole of his foot was about to touch the middle-aged man's stomach, he deactivated-activated the stoppage of time.

"Haaa...." Avion felt weakness all over him. He didn't revert his body back to full health but rather, he was immersing himself in the pain he was feeling.

After a few breaths, he stomped again and deactivated-activated the stoppage of time upon impact. Instead of hitting a stone-like body, it was soft. That was how he knew that his hit was working.

He already stomped twice but for the others, the world, not even a fraction of a second had passed.

Avion repeated this until he felt weakness in his left foot that he couldn't move it any further.

But in reality, two seconds had only passed.

Brrrrrrr!*

"URGH!" Master Yown spat out a mouthful of blood. He only activated his Body Strengthening when the first second had passed. Although he made a big mistake being late on activation, the Leaf Humming Blade was still an expert.

After the initial shock, he instantly activated a healing elesp and with bloodshot eyes, he glared at Avion and was about to attack.

Mettany was about to warn Avion when the latter raised his foot and made the Leaf Humming Blade stop his attack and subconsciously shriek, "Iek!"

However, Avion just placed his foot down and did nothing.

Realizing how he reacted, Master Yown got stunned, 'I got scared...?'

"Please, use your healing elesp to those three." Avion calmly pointed but there was a strong urge behind his words.

Master Yown glanced at the three that was the start of these and gritted his teeth. How could he comply? It was like accepting defeat!

And more importantly, he had to heal the two nobles first. He could feel their life was leaving their body any moment now. If these two were to die while he was there, how could he explain himself to the two separate colossal families!?

Master Yown's head was hurting from the pressure he was having, 'Should I heal them first so that I can heal the young nobles?' he was about to relent when he took a glance at Avion's weak state.

'Of course! He should be weakened!' he realized, 'After using that great elesps, he should be forcing himself now. The reason he didn't attack earlier again was that he knew he had no more energy to spare!' he felt humiliated, thinking that he was scared of a faint attack.

"How dare you order me!" Master Yown shouted as two formless books came out of his body. Suddenly, a great wind blew as one of the formless book turned into a huge crescent leaf. It was sharp and did not need acceleration to gain speed. While the other book released numerous vines and roots that covered all his body.

'I'm giving a quarter of my energy to this attack! Take it!' feeling great strength, Master Yown who was about to be covered by lush-like armor jumped backward. From his feet, this armor was enveloping him at a fast rate.

"That's the Leaf Humming Blade!" Mettany shouted as the large crescent leaf was about to hit Avion.

Brrrr!*
