Chapter 106 - Struggling To Survive

From one attack to another, the three were still unable to land an attack on the possessed and they don't seem to be doing better with Jason's shoulder bleeding seriously with the other two having a broken bone.

"Do you think you are strong enough to defeat me?'' asked the possessed.

They made a distance between themselves and the possessed as they began to analyze what to do since they were unable to land a hit at him even with their three tags together.

"If this should carry on, then it won't be long before we run out of energy leaving ourselves defenseless for him to kill" said Sam with a serious look on his face.

"I know that but the problem here is how are we supposed to kill it when it keeps getting stronger the more he fights or haven't you guys noticed it as well" asked Austin.

"Of course Austin and I actually thought that it drew its power from those that he had killed but that doesn't seem to be the case" replied Jason as he took out a pill and consumed it.

"So what are we supposed to do now that we can't beat it" asked Sam.

"I would suggest that we make a run for it but with the way things are going, I doubt it that we will be able to shake him off" replied Austin.

"Guess we have no choice but to stand and face" said Jason as he swung the arm in which he was injured.

"But there is no reason for us to continue the fight knowing fully well that we won't be able to win" said Sam in a low spirit.

"Well, that was because we are not using all that we have against him which gives him the advantage over us" replied Jason as he turned to look at the two.

"What are you trying to say" asked Sam.

"Come on I know that you have been hiding your technique from us but what would be the use if you end up ending right here" replied Jason.

Sam was unable to say a thing when knowing full well that the other party was saying the truth. Taking a deep breath as he don't want to die now, Sam turn to Jason as he said.

"Alright let's do this even though it still won't be effective against the possessed, but at least we went all out". 

"I think we will be able to make it out of this fight alive if we used our attack on the possessed appropriately" said Jason with a smile on his face. 

"Let's give it a try then" commented with a smile on his face as he can't wait to cut the possessed into different parts.

After they had agreed on the plan to go with, Jason took a step forward as he said to Sam.

"How long does it take to get your technique ready for action".

"Within thirty seconds, it should be ready" replied Sam as he don't understand what Jason was planning.

"That should be enough for me to distract him while you prepare your attack" said Jason. 

"How are you supposed to stand your ground against him on your own and what would Austin be doing then" asked Sam.

"Just like you, he also needs time to prepare his move so I have no choice but to distract him while you get your technique ready" replied Jason as he thought a step forward.

"Haha, I don't know what plans you guys must have but I just want to tell you that it is not going to work against me" said the possessed as he let out an evil laugh.

"We'll have to see about that" replied Jason as he swung the halberd while running at the possessed.

"What an arrogant fool" said the possessed with a smirk on his face as he sent a punch packed with spiritual energy at Jason only for Jason to hit it to the side so as for the attack not to hit Austin and Sam.

"You insolent fool" roared the possessed as he sent another attack at Jason who all he can do was deflect the attack.

Moving to one side in top speed as he swing the halberd which released a shockwave that went for the possessed which was easily smashed down before the possessed pushed forward as he planned to run into Jason just like he did with Austin but before he could get to where Jason is, he has already moved to the side as he avoids the attack before sweep the possessed on the leg as he tries to put him down but surprisingly, the possessed didn't land on his back before sending a kick at Jason. Taking eight steps back as blood begins to flow from the edge of his month. 

"This freak is really proving hard to take down" complains Jason after he has stopped staggering backward.

"Take a look at the state you are in right now, instead of you fighting me together with your friends, you decided to face me alone now you will pay for not taking me seriously" said the possessed as he take a step forward to Jason.

'Come on guys hurry up before I get beaten into a pulp' thought Jason as he grit his teeth in anger.

"I believe you will have no choice but to use your technique once you are about to be beaten into a pulp, so you don't have to worry" commented the bracelet as he let out a chuckle.

"Very funny, there is no way that I am going to use my technique in from of Sam who I am not familiar with" replied Jason.

"Then get prepared to get beaten" said the bracelet angrily.

"Then they would have their technique ready to attack so you don't have to worry my evil servant" replied Jason with a smile on his face as he gathered energy in his legs ready to kick the possessed away once the chance present himself.

Seeing that the human who has been struggling against him has suddenly stopped to attack as he was trying to catch some time to breathe, with an evil grin on his face, the possessed quickly dashed at Jason with his arms clawed out like an eagle ready to pick it prey but before he could get closed to Jason, thousand of swords energy begin to fall down with the possessed been the target. 

And seeing this change in the situation, the possessed begin to channel his energy as he was preparing to make an energy shield to protect himself from the thousand of swords that are falling down but the moment that the shield was made, Jason quickly jump high up as he performs the phantom kick on top of the shield as he makes a huge crack enough for the thousand swords to get in.

After making a crack on the shield, Jason quickly jump off before the possessed did a powerful damage to him. After jumping off, Jason took some distance so as not to be affected by the aftermath of the attack. Meanwhile, the possessed was lost of words as he just stared at the energy swords coming down on him as they begin to fall on him. And while all this was attacking, a scream of agony could be heard coming from the possessed as the swords continue to fall on him. 

All this time, it was Austin who was attacking the possessed with his technique but the moment that Sam was through gathering enough energy for his attack, he quickly let out a roar as he slashed his sword downwards towards the possessed direction, and the next thing that happened terrifying as a gray slim crawled out of the ground and glue itself to the possessed.

"Power of the earth guardian" roar Sam once the slim has successfully glued itself to the possessed.

After the road, the possessed begin to change into gray color and this time the energy swords that were falling on him are no more. After the possessed was colored from head to toe, it suddenly froze as if it has turned to stone.

"Someone should please smack it into pieces before the effect wore out" said Sam as he went down on one knee.

"You can leave that to me" replied Jason with a happy expression on his face as he dashed forward before raising his leg and landing a powerful phantom kick on the possessed as he ended up shattering into pieces of stone.

After the possessed has been destroyed they all fall on the ground out of exhausting themselves but Jason didn't fail to give Sam a look as he now considers him a huge threat to his life if they were to turn at each other. While they were taking a break, a black smoking suddenly rose from the possessed remains as it begins to float in the air like it was looking at them.. After floating for a short while, it suddenly disappeared.
