"While we are on that topic, can you fight?"
"Are you understanding me?" I raised an eyebrow, nocking an arrow on the bowstring. "I'm strong, if I was not this strong I would have been dead by long time ago.."
"Fair," Adrian cocked his head slightly and get ready in a fighting position.
Evelyn and Emma gripped their bows tightly, their expressions filled with determination.
Aric with board sword resting on his shoulder was also ready, Kael lifted his massive battle hammer, ready to strike.
Elera pointed her ripper at the enemy with a timid look while Adrian and I took our stances side by side, with me drawing back my bowstring and Adrian preparing to engage in combat.
Shion Ascal, the elven boy who fought with Kevin and made a duel between Adrian and Kevin, was also present. He summoned his jaint Axe and pointed its head at our enemy.
Almost all the main characters were gathered here to fight, along with one variable and one minor antagonist.
Only Noah, Lyra, Sunny and Isabella was missing, they was out of mansion because they were badly injured.
With this many capable fighters on our side, our chances of losing have significantly decreased.
Step, Step, Step—!!
The sound of our footsteps echoing in the empty hall stopped ringing when Tony stopped his approach, his piercing gaze fixed on us as he came to a halt only a few meters away from our group.
I infused mana into my arrow and released the bowstring to take the first shot.
Kwuiish—!!
The mana on my arrow split into ten darts, giving the illusion that the arrow itself was multiplied before the mana arrows rained down on my target.
Boom—!!
The mana arrows struck Tony with precision, exploding on impact, creating a cloud of smoke and debris. As the dust settled, Tony emerged, seemingly unaffected, his imposing figure undeterred.
In a sudden burst of movement, Adrian launched himself forward with incredible speed.
Fwoosh—!!
The dark orb in front of Tony also shattered into a devastating beam of darkness, leaving a path of destruction in its wake.
In a flash, Adrian's sword collided with the beam of darkness, and a light explosion occurred.
Kaboom—!!!
The force of the collision sent shockwaves through the air, causing the ground beneath our feet to tremble.
Adrian sword sliced through the darkness, cutting a path forward as he charged toward Tony.
Adrian's onslaught, enhanced by the pulsating azure aura surrounding his sword, carved through the remnants of the dark beam. The clash between their forces created a dazzling spectacle, the hall illuminated by the interplay of light and shadow.
As the smoke and residual energy dispersed, the scene revealed Adrian standing resolute, his blade unyielding against the force he had just confronted. Tony, however, was nowhere to be seen.
A moment of tense silence enveloped the hall, broken only by the echoing footsteps, the group, eyes scanning the surroundings for any sign of the elusive adversary.
-Tap, -Tap, -Tap!
Suddenly, a sinister laughter echoed through the air.
"Hahaha, Impressive, but you can't do anything against me, Pests." Tony's voice taunted, seemingly emerging from the shadows themselves. He materialized, reappearing at a distance, his figure obscured by the lingering remnants of the dark magic.
Adrian, undeterred, tightened his grip on his sword. The azure aura intensified, a manifestation of his unwavering determination. The others, too, prepared for the next phase of the confrontation.
Without warning, Tony unleashed a barrage of dark projectiles, each aimed with lethal precision. Adrian, with remarkable agility, evaded the onslaught, weaving through the projectiles like a dancer in the midst of a deadly ballet.
As the last projectile sailed toward Adrian, he countered with a swift swing of his sword, redirecting the dark force with a precision.
The hall became a battleground once more, the clash between Adrian and Tony evolving into a dance of opposing forces.
