"Sage Elementalist Ability: Distorted Reality!"
"Clown Specialty: Fiery Spear!"
Instantly after Jon Stones jerked after being affected by the poisonous darts, Clown regained his motivation after confirming that the Pugilist was not invincible.
He made use of another Sage Elementalist ability as instantly, the reality around him became distorted. Before Jon Stones' perception, Clown disappeared whereas this powerful Elementalist already went behind him.
Clown concentrated his fire energy as much as possible to create his Fiery Spear as at point-blank range, he slammed it against Jon Stones.
Clown was a genius, not just in science but he was also a combat genius.
This was the only reason why a legend like Jon Stones knew of him before.
Even as Jon Stones completely dominated the 3 of them for the first few seconds, his brain never stopped calculating and working at overdrive.
It was when his poisonous darts finally revealed a weakness in their opponent that he upped his game.
With the Distorted Reality, he completely fooled Jon Stones but it was his obsession with dealing as much damage as possible in one attack that exposed him.
Clown already observed that getting opportunities to land successful attacks on Jon Stones would be hard and was why he did everything to deal as much damage in this one attack, in the end, this was his mistake.
Jon Stones was a Pugilist at the very pinnacle of Planet Darvis, this old monster already mastered his body to the extent where he had complete control over it, he could feel the tiniest of sensations.
Though Clown tried to mask it, the powerful Fiery Spear that he conjured still emitted minute amounts of heat. It was this heat that alerted Jon Stones.
Jon Stones felt his danger instincts ring but he was still calm.
'Roach, cooperate with me'.
"Stone-Roach Defense Combo: Ultimate Defense!"
Shing!
Jon Stones' powerful old armor resonated with him again, then the next moment the armor combined power with his Pugilist energy as an extremely thick defensive shield was erected all around his body.
This shield arrived just in time for the highly concentrated Fiery Spear to hit.
BOOM!
Clown's Fiery Spear hit with a lot of power accompanying it.
The shield flickered as it only lasted a second before shattering. The residual power from the Fiery Spear collided against the armor, the armor withstood much of the force but some still went through as Jon Stones groaned.
This attack rattled him, he took some time to recover.
This recovery time was all it took for his opponents to get the upper hand. Clown's moment of genius opened the window of opportunity to them, now, Einstein, Clown, and Orc Warlord Zeke cornered him in their middle.
"Axe Combination Attack: Green-White-Green!"
Orc Warlord Zeke was more or less like a Pugilist also.
As soon as he activated this combination attack, he almost seemed to become a robot. His 2 Axes slashed at Jon Stones from curved angles once, then they slashed horizontally, before ending with another curved angle slash.
Bam! Bam! Bam!
With Pugilist energy covering his fists, Jon Stones struggled to block the attacks. Einstein and Clown were not idle as their Elementalist staffs moved constantly at the speed of machine guns, inducing lethal effects rapidly.
"Special Elementalist Ability: Sands of Doom!"
"Special Elementalist Ability: Fireball Hail!"
With Jon Stones temporarily contained, Black Master Einstein finally got the luxury to widen his distance to enable himself spam AOE abilities.
Unlike normal Elementalists, as a Grade C Sage Elementalists, he already had a masterful grasp over AOE attacks to the extent where he could attack the whole area while retaining control enough to not affect his allies.
This was exactly what Black Master Einstein did now.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The sand moved with incredible velocity, turning into extremely tiny daggers as they all moved towards Jon Stones with the intent to injure and kill.
A hail of fireballs rained from the sky to complement the rapidly moving sand as they collided against the ground, completely terraforming this terrain.
As for Clown, he kept his distance to Jon Stones to keep on harassing him.
"Sage Elementalist Ability: Attaco Di Veleno!"
Having detected Jon Stones' weakness to poison already, he took complete advantage of it as they banked most of their hopes on it.
Jon Stones had to keep himself constantly performing at 110% just to cope with the incredible pace of this battle and its ridiculous intensity.
Fighting against a veteran Grade C Orc Warlord and 2 genius Grade C Elementalists was no easy feat, he was definitely feeling the heat.
'No wonder Shanks said I should be worried, you bastard!'
Despite his situation, he still had the time to poke curses at his old friend.
Perhaps, it proved deadly after all as after constant harassment, Orc Warlord Zeke finally saw an opening as one of his Axes dug into Jon Stones' chest.
The sound of the impact reverberated like exploding dominoes.
BOOM!
"Ugh…!" Jon Stones groaned in pain.
Even as blood flowed like a fountain from his chest, the force of the attack made his knees buckle and the ground to cave in as a hole opened on the ground where he was pushed in from the force of the Axe.
Clown and Einstein were not about to waste this prime opportunity.
"Sage Elementalist Ability: Dragon of Sand and Fire!"
Black Master Einstein's long hair waved in the air from the force he exerted as he seemed to turn into a wizard, the ability activated powerfully.
"Sage Elementalist Ability: Wind Phoenix Cataclysm!"
Originally, this was a new Sage ability trump card that Clown had been trying to create for months without success. Now, due to the adrenaline from this battle, he was able to finish creating it on the spot and was also able to use it.
From the skies, an apocalypse of wind and fire seemed to form.
Noticing the danger, Orc Warlord Zeke dodged from the vicinity even as both Elementalists levitated into the skies again to dodge the impact sight.
Jon Stones could not dodge, the abilities descended on what may perhaps be his tomb, wreaking havoc and destruction.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
The gigantic tectonic plates of the planet crust were torn asunder.
The impact spread far and wide, it was like it was the end of the world as every single location across the Western Continent felt the impact of this attack.
It took over a minute for the aftereffects of the attack to die down.
All 3 Grade C powerhouses spread their energy into the crater that was formed, using their energy check to scrutinize if there was a trace of life.
"Ugh…, f*ck!" Jon Stones curse betrayed the fact that he was still alive.
This powerful Pugilist dug his way out of the ground. At this moment, his eyes were bloody and red, his clothes were torn apart, his body was filled with severe injuries while his extremely strong bald head shockingly had a tear.
Jon Stones touched the blood that was on his head.
"You brats injured my head…" His tone showed genuine surprise. "I don't remember the last century that this happened".
"I'm impressed". He grinned.
"You 3 deserve to see my final form".
His eyes turned pitch-black the next moment, their hearts skipped beats.
"Forbidden Pugilist Ability: First Ultimate Form!"
Jon Stones' bald head grew balder all of a sudden as it shone like a torch under the sun, his clothes completely tore apart as his muscles grew, leaving only pants on his waist, the last transformation was that he grew a new pair of hands.
Jon Stones now looked like a Pugilist who was on steroids who had been training for over a millennium just to showcase his physique to the world.
It was the current level of his Pugilist energy that frightened his opponents the most, their eyes widened in dread and shock.
"…"
Jon Stones moved again and it was like he was stepping through heavens.
BOOM!
