Chapter 244 Team Battles! Part-2.

*Boom!*

The ground cracked as the debris flew into the air creating massive dust clouds.

"Hahaha, nice! You can take quite a few punches from me! You are strong!" (Link)

Indeed, being able to tank Link's punches is a great feat.

The orc warrior was able to tank several of Link's punches which could have already killed an ordinary A ranker by now.

Only Rio has dealt with Link's punches without taking much harm, but obviously, others don't have Rio's levels of reaction time or speed.

With a smirk on his face, Link raised his fist and punched in front of him.

[Dragon Arts: Mid-range vortex!]

The cloud of dust and debris around Link immediately got swept away due to the massive wind pressure caused by Link's attack.

The wind pressure immediately revealed the opponent who was trying to conceal himself with the dust cloud.

"My detection skills have improved due to fighting a slippery guy you see, it's pointless to create a dust cloud to reduce my senses..." (Link)

The Orc warrior's whole body was covered in wounds, he likely had several bones broken too, yet a smile hung over his face as he saw Link's massive and intimidating aura pressing down on him.

'Damn, this guy is a monster... I don't think I can hold him too long...'

Link saw the hesitation in the other party's eyes, and smiled meaningfully:

"Hmm, buying time huh? Okay then, let's decide the outcome of this battle with one massive attack..." (Link)

Link raised his left hand and placed his right hand near his waist.

He took his martial stance to show clear respect for the other party's resolve to try to hold Link in place so that his other teammates could go for the banner.

Seeing Link's gesture of respect, the orc warrior smiled and wiped the blood from his mouth.

"Then so be it..."

'With broken bones, I don't think I can hold him longer if I try to run around too much... this one attack is good enough...'

The orc warrior stomped his feet in the ground making massive cracks in the ground.

He concentrated all of his mana into his hands and placed his hands in an 'X' shape to cover his chest.

"This is my strongest attack! I wonder if you really have the courage to take it head on?"

Link placed his mana in his right fist and smiled.

"One attack would be enough..." (Link)

The Orc warrior didn't reply and directly rushed at Link in straight charge.

[Rhino horn Style: Crazed Rush!]

His momentum was indeed strong, any ordinary A-ranker would directly be killed if he got hit by this straightforward rush attack.

The winds howled as the wind pressure created by that rush was so massive that nearby trees and boulders flew away instantly.

"Good" (Link)

Link liked the courage of the other party, he was impressed by the fact that the other party dared to charge at him so fiercely just to buy some extra time for his team.

'They must be planning something behind the scenes otherwise why would they need to buy time...' (Link)

Link could feel that the other party wanted to keep Link away from the rest of the team, but Link was not too worried, as he was not the only monster their team had.

Seeing the crazed rush coming closer and closer, Link finally moved.

[Dao Rhythm!]

Enhanced by Dao Rhythm, Link's strength at that moment reached the level of a peak S ranker, it was too insane a feat to even fathom, but for Link that was just a regular Jab.

*Boom!*

"Hmm, you have been defending all this while... are you trying to buy time or something?" (Rio)

Rio's words sounded like devil whispers in Xagok's ears.

'So fast!?' (Xagok)

Before Xagok could dodge or defend, Rio had already appeared right behind him.

[Elemental Sword Art: Thunder type: Compressed arc!]

Rio raised his sword above his shoulder and fired a compressed arc made of thunder.

[Spear Intent!]

[Bear Claw Style: Defensive roars!]

Xagok lagged behind in defending and was barely able to move his spear intent to block a fatal injury as he jumped away from the center of the attack.

But as he was a step too late, a few of the electric sparks still grazed his skin and nearly a hundred cuts appeared on his body in an instant.

Blood flowed out like a fountain.

But before he could even stabilize, Rio, seemingly teleported and appeared right in front of him in the blink of an eye.

"Shouldn't have left yourself wide open like that..." (Rio)

[Sword Intent!]

Rio swung his sword in a down-to-upward motion and directly sliced off the right hand of the other party.

Xagok fell on his butt as that attack's heavy blow broke his balance.

His severed right arm flew in the air and fell far away while still holding the spear in its grasp.

Rio placed his sword on Xagok's neck and said in his usual emotionless tone:

"You lost..." (Rio)

From Rio's compressed thunder attack to this, only three seconds had passed, and the winner was decided in such a short time span.

A smirk appeared on Xagok's face.

"Well, you really are better than me at controlling the legendary skill, but I have completed my work... I have bought enough time... I surrender now.." (Xagok)

A teleportation circle appeared and teleported Xagok away.

But before Rio could think about anything he felt a massive amount of mana condensing in the sky above them.

A gigantic meteor made of molten lava seemed to have appeared out of a massive magic circle floating in mid-air and this attack was directly aimed at the banner.

Rio then glanced in another direction and noticed that Link had already defeated the opponent warrior.

'Hmm... the mages on the other team are really clever... they used this spell on purpose... even if I hit it sword intent it will likely 'auto-aim' at the banner again...' (Rio)

'To be able to cast this spell, do they have four fire magicians in the same team? That's such a coincidence....' (Rio)

Author's Notes.

Yo! It's your beloved author here!

It seems that mutual respect and pride among warriors is a worldwide thing, perhaps only a protagonist suffers from cliché like face slapping events, others live a fairly normal and respectable life...

Question of the day.

Would you be able to remain as calm as the orc warrior, if you have to face Link?

1. Nope (I don't wanna feel how it feels to be hit by Dao rhythm...)

2. Yes (I am a disciple of Rio, I fear no one!)
