"Barl, quickly go after Edwin" Grey said to the bare chested man," Vindol, follow him" he finished, a frown appearing on the blue man's face, as he moved to go after Edwin, but before Vindol could take a step, a figure shot out of the burning flames, and the next second the form of Barl who had already begun moving to find Edwin, came rolling back towards Grey on the floor, creating a long ditch as he went.
"Damn, I thought I already explained to you how this fight was going to be, you four against me, are you guys daft," Seth asked while rubbing his hand on his forehead, having taken no injuries from the fire attack he had been hit with earlier.
"Be careful, he's strong" the trembling form of Barl wheezed out as he struggled to stand up, his rolling form having been stopped by Grey, and even now as he tried to lift up his sword, he could still feel a stinging pain in his chest.
Tell you what Seth said," I currently need practice with my new weapons," he said lifting red and black who were in his left and right hand respectively," so what you four are going to do is attack me as hard as you can, while I'll make sure to only use my weapons if you guys give me a god enough practice, I'll spare two of you, only killing whoever performed the worst, and of course Aimy," Seth finished.
"Who the hell do you think you are to be so arrogant when you are facing..." Grey was saying, but the sight of black swinging towards him had him cutting his words short and bringing up his sword to defend.
"You talk a lot," Seth thought, not considering it worth the stress to speak the words as he attacked Grey
Black collided with Grey's sword, and with expert dexterity, Grey easily pushed Black to the right, this move destabilized Seth and had him stumbling towards Grey, and Grey had no intention of letting such as opportunity pass, so pushing with his right foot, he had his upper body moving towards Seth and his swords swinging at the stumbling man's head.
An easy victory seemed to be within Grey's sight, but that was not meant to be as Seth swung red at black, hitting the sword staff as hard as possible and having it move backward against all odds, heading towards the waist of the attacking grey.
Though his actions sent his arms ringing, this move had the immediate effect of putting Grey in a tough spot and with two choices, ignore Seth's attack and get hit, but also be able to deliver a hit, or block the attack and miss the opportunity to attack Seth.
Not thinking much of it, Grey immediately moved back his sword back and blocked the attack, to Grey, Seth was clearly some brute, and he was more than confident that his next move would checkmate Seth once more.
Both Seth and Grey's weapons clashed, a powerful wave of qi blasting out from their collision as they both entered a deadlock, pushing their weapons against each other, with Seth using just a single hand, not bothering to swing red which was in his left hand.
Seth's and Grey's deadlock created a few seconds of rumination as everyone was alerted to the fact that Seth's physical far surpassed Grey's seeing as he was pushing back the swordsman with just a single hand whilst Grey was clearly struggling with both his hands.
His right hand easily pushing back Grey with the man's feet dug into the ground as he slid backward, Seth got bored of the current standoff and was just about to finally put red in action, but a tingle in his senses had Seth swing red to the right and then proceed to spin it while continuously making slashes in the air, but he was too late as a figure displaying unbelievable agility dodged through his late swings, drawing a line of blood along his left arm till the line was just about his reach his neck, Seth stamped his feet on the ground and jumped backward, narrowly dodging a dagger.
"That was dangerous" Seth dreadfully thought as he moved backward, Aimy's ability to sneak up very close before he could notice her was very impressive and scary, the weird movements which she had performed to cleanly get through his attack and get in his guard had entranced him, but her deadly dagger which after slicing along his arm had been coming for his throat helped wash off the bewitching spell.
Seth had just barely moved away from Aimy, still in the air when a hand burst out of the ground looking to grab him, but a quick kick from Seth had it crumbling down, though he could do much to dodge the great sword that came swinging down on him, only able cross red and black over his head when he noticed Barl descending figure, but that was far from enough as Barl's great swords rapidly increased as it approached Seth, the weapon expanding to five times its initial size and its speed increasing, and by the time it collided with him, it sent him to the ground, pressing him down as the ground beneath his feet cracked, Seth snow standing in a shallow crater by the time they attack momentum had died off.
"That hurt," Seth thought as a current of pain went through his arms, but when he tried to push the gigantic sword off him, he found that he couldn't the sword being way heavier than when it had initially hit him.
"What the hell is happening," Seth wondered, his eyes quickly moving around as he tried to find the reason for the still increasing sword's weight, and that was when he saw Grey a few steps behind Barl on a knee with both his palms placed on the ground.
"what is he doing" Seth wondered, his mind quickly brainstorming for an answer as his body was further being pressed into the ground, his hands already trembling, while his poor legs had veins popping out as they struggled to withstand the weight of what felt like a mountain, not like like he knew the weight of one.
"Don't tell me it's gravity" Seth thought with a little bit of amazement, doubt, and worry.
Gravity wasn't an element, it was a rule, a rule of nature, and Seth found it hard to believe this answer, throwing it away to brainstorm for a more reasonable one, but the searing heat quickly closing in on him cut those thoughts short and increased his worry, especially when the heat gave off the same feeling as Jinkins tiger cubs.
