Chapter 1236 - Shitty Battle

The wind blade was fast and precise and was aimed directly at the neck. The young master hurried to block the attack with an air cannon at such a close range.

The wind blade didn't completely disappear as it should have, instead, it barely changed the direction that it was coming from earlier and cut off some of the opponent's hair while he was pushed back by the recoil of his own attack.

But Watt didn't let him get away with it that easily, he swung his arms a few more times as he walked forward casually and this time the wind blades are aimed not just at his throat, rather at his feet and arms as well.

The other party who is already out of balance tried his best to control himself and dodge all the attacks, but he could only use another air cannon on the ground to launch himself a bit into the air barely dodging many attacks. But one of them still managed to leave a nick on his torso.

Everything happened in a flash. The rest of the young masters who were a bit shocked by the defense of the first attack finally came to themselves. Jack and Philip shook their heads once again in disappointment.

These guys have no battle instincts. They are good at using flashy attacks and packing raw power, but they don't have good enough instincts and battle IQ.

To be dazed for two seconds is like serving their lives on a silver platter. Lucky for them Jack and Philip didn't act on it and kill them right on the spot.

But that didn't last long. 

When one of the young masters wanted to attack Watt from the rear while he is toying with the first young master, he sent a sword ray which made the young master jump up in fright.

He gritted his teeth and took out an earthen golem as he let it go after Watt while he himself went after Jack.

Jack fought with two people at the same time and most of the time, he just blocked their attacks with the sword.

He didn't retaliate too much and just played along and only left some small scars here and there and lucky for him, the people that he is fighting are earth and wood elemental users and he is having fun cutting their attacks down with ease.

It is almost like just sword practice for him.

As for Philip, the people that were left are the fire element user and the metal element user. When they revealed this, they are a bit confused, as there is no water element user in the bunch and instead a wind elemental user appeared.

But as if to clear their confusion, the wind elemental user who is being toyed with by Watt, suddenly gritted his teeth and cursed out loud.

"I didn't want to use this, but you forced me."

And with that, both water and wind elements raged.

The moisture in the surrounding atmosphere condensed together to form small water drops and then into needles.

Watt could feel the humidity decreasing around him and accompanied by the strong wind the water needles started coming at him from all sides.

Meanwhile, the earthen golem is smashing around as he dodged both the needles and the golem.

These water needles and the hidden wind currents that are carrying them are really doing a great job in making the attacks as fast and precise as possible.

Watt started using the air cannons for defense but unlike his opponent, he didn't feel the least bit out of control. He perfectly utilized the energy and the recoil to stay balanced.

But the water needles are not just there for attacking randomly.

They are slowly increasing in speed, size, and precision. Watt barely dodged three vital attacks to his heart and two for his eyes.

And the reason for that is the golem.

He couldn't help but feel a bit frustrated. He took a deep breath lunged forward without caring for the needles for a moment. He punched straight into the body of the golem and made a hole as he held on to it before he continuously punched it again and again with wind elemental energy raging with every punch and hitting the golem.

The fragments of the stones are flying everywhere while the needles tried to attack him from the rear, which the coat handled for a while, even then there are some needles that managed to hit the face and the legs.

But once the golem is destroyed, he stood there and a wind current started revolving around him as it stopped the needles coming at him. He took out a pack of metal packs as he shuffled them. Small wind blades flew from them as they created miniature turbulent currents within his hands.

He looked at the opponent calmly as he started throwing one card after another.

None of them are directly aimed at the opponent in front of him. They moved in large curves as they cut through the water needles and destroyed them as Watt controlled their motion with his wind currents.

The young master who is controlling the needles until now, looked at Watt with hateful eyes as both water and wind elements raged inside him.

The water and wind condensed into two dragons as they rotated around him before moving upwards as they coiled around each other.

All the other young masters looked at it in horror. They didn't expect that their fellow companion would use the ultimate move this early.

The fight was short-lived. As soon as Watt countered his first proper move, he directly went to his final move.

The wind and water dragons ground against each other and finally collided their heads as water spears were created from every single splash of the water supported by the wind element to reduce the resistance completely.

All of them are targeted at Watt who is standing there while shuffling the cards. The small needles disappeared and now only these spears remained.

Watt spread the cards and they rotated rapidly as the wind element churned them continuously.

Wind blades started circling around them and he finally waved his hand as the water spears also started coming at him.

The metal cards started moving in large curves as they cut through the water spears completely deconstructing them and making their way towards the young master who was terrified by the counterattack.

When the dust settled, the rest of them only saw the cards flying back to Watt and a pile of flesh and bones is left in the place the young master sat.

"What kind of fight is this? You don't have any sense at all. I thought the young masters will give me some challenge."

Watt muttered out loud and looked at Philip and Jack.

"Finish it up. I am fucking bored."

Jack and Philip looked at their opponents and suddenly their speed increased and the sword rays and fire and metal meteorites are the only things anyone could see for a moment before the young masters were done for.

They killed them cleanly and looked for the battlefield of the Demon Soul and what they saw surprised them even more than the incompetence of the young masters.

The five grand elders are all stacked on each other with their heads cut off and the Demon soul is sitting there watching the show.

They didn't notice that until now as they are so engrossed in toying with the young masters.

"When are you finished?"

"After you started engaging. I knew these guys are a waste of time. I knew those five young masters are also a waste of time. Take their bodies with you. I have something interesting to show you."

With that, they went to the cave residence.

When Sam saw the bodies, he called out Specter to start collecting the memories.

When the memories were transferred to him though, he was dumbfounded.

"These people…"

"You are smarter than I thought. These brats gave you way less credit." Demon Soul said as he started drinking.

"What are you guys talking about?" The trio is curious.

Sam stayed silent for a moment and said.

"Someone is spreading their fangs too far in the realms. These guys are not the real people. The grand elders and young masters are not real people. They are a type of clone. Their faces are created by someone and they are being controlled."

When the trio heard these words, they don't even know how to react.

They couldn't comprehend this, particularly Jack who has been interacting with these people for a while.

"How is your battle with these guys?"

"They died instantly. They don't have any battle IQ. They are easy targets. If not for the toying they would die instantly."

Sam looked at Demon Soul and asked.

"It seems like you are not really surprised by this. Do you know this from the start?"

"No, I only came to know when they are attacking me. I have an affinity with the souls, but I don't just keep on sensing and studying them in other people. They would easily notice and it is invasive. I don't want to deal with all the troubles that come with it. I only do when I am in a battle. So, when I noticed the difference in the five grand elders, I decided to check these kids and they are the same.

Something else is happening under the wraps."
