Chapter 49 - Hunted

Will charged forward clashing with Ezekiel at the center, both releasing their attacks. The little balls gathering in his finger tips had joined together forming a slightly bigger ball which he threw at Will.

Will with his sword unavailable punched forward, his hands wrapped in flames. Both energy collided causing an explosion which sent both stumbling backwards.

A glowing ball had hit the tree beside Will exploding into bits of wood, some which had struck him. Ezekiel was quick in the uptake sending more glowing balls which Will evaded by running round the area. Various tress got destroyed along with craters being formed wherever the ball landed.

[ - 5hp ]

[ 20/160hp ]

Although is energy was restored back, his health points remained the same. Jumping from tree to tree he punched out with his sword sending spiralling flames forward. He then kicked off the ground dashing forward.

He threw out his clenched fist and Ezekiel did same. Both fist clashed with Will stumbling a few meters backwards.

Once again the glowing balls had been formed and thrown at him. After five minutes of intense clash, Ezekiel began to move. Throwing large amounts of glowing ball he charged forward also.

"His casting speed his high. I'm need to up my game also. First formation of the heaven-defying technique! Flowing force!" Kicking off the ground, they clashed once more both throwing out punch and kicks.

"He's quite talented, also there something strange about him. His injuries, the way he's been fighting, it seems they have healed." He could also feel with each punch and kick his attack was getting heavier.

"Do you think it would be an easy fight!" Will exclaimed as he moved backwards and dived back in with an axe kick. Ezekiel retaliated with a kick of his as they both skidded across the ground.

[ -3hp ]

"That's it, if I can reinforce my body with qi, the hit would be less strong. With the way he's fighting, he hasn't gotten serious yet. I need to look for an opportunity, a chance to get away from here."

"I know what you're thinking, but I won't let that happen." Ezekiel charged forward his fingertips glowing once more. He struck forward and the energy spread out giving Will no chance of escape.

"Second formation of the heaven-defying technique! Raging force!" Shifting his foot, he swung his legs which was covered in both his qi and flames. Both attack dispelled eachother, a hand grabbed onto his shoulder, slamming him down to the ground.

Will was back on his feet quickly and threw several kicks, sending large amounts of wind blades imbued with his qi. "I can do this!" Breathing deeply, he channelled his energy for a large attack.

"Third formation of the heaven-defying technique! Vortex slash!" A large and concentrated amount of energy burst forth and with a swing of his hands, sent it forwards.

[ Energy points: 805/1600 ]

"With the large amount of energy I would be to escape." A combination of both his flames and wind surged forward destroying everything in its path heading towards Ezekiel.

Ezekiel charged forward his hands emitting a soft glow, slamming his foot on the ground, he released a large wave of yellow energy forward. Both energy collided, with his own Dispelling Will's attack and continuing forward.

"Hmmm... this guy... I was prepared for this, but how did he still escape?" Closing his eyes, he searched for a trace of his energy. His attack had finally dispelled leaving the area destroyed with no tress within10 metres radius.

His figure moved across the expanse, his speed not lacking at all. "If it was others, maybe you would have been able to escape. Too bad, that won't work on me," he said. Soon he caught sight of his prey, with his finger tips glowing once more, he threw various energy balls toward him.

"F*ck! How was he able to find me," Will thought. Minutes ago, he had activated his [ Invisibility skill ] after his attack, running away from the area. He evaded the energy balls, his figure finally becoming visible.

[ Invisibility skill have been deactivated ]

"I better limit the energy I use, the battle is far from over."

Issaiah frame was bathed in blood as he emerged from the insides of a large creature on the ground. His body was filled with scars and deep injuries from his battle. He had to go full out in other to defeat the beast but had also suffered high degree of wounds.

The creature wasn't death yet though it was badly wounded. Stumbling forwards Issaiah kept his broadsword and settled down to regain his strength back. He wasn't worried about the beast since it had expended all its energy and would take a long time for it to move again and also heal its injuries.

'These magical tier beast are quite troublesome with their high healing capabilities. But with that last attack infused with the strange energy, it won't be getting up for a long long time.'

'Now, where did they go,' he thought scratching his head. The area had been utterly destroyed without any trees in sight.

Standing up, he soon noticed a fight was going on. With the rumbling of the ground, he charged forward quickly heading towards the ongoing battle.

Sensing danger, he jumped sideways evading an attack aimed at him.

"Sorry, but that area is blocked," Berge said standing before him. On his hands were the ones he left Will with. Dren was on one side while the struggling Belle on the other side.

"This one is quite troublesome," he said throwing Belle upwards and with a swing of his legs sent her towards him. They could hear the cracking sound of bones as she flew forward.

Jumping forwards Issaiah had got hold of her, landing softly on the ground. His face expressionless as he lay her down.

Soon Dren's body was kicked towards him and he had caught him also before laying him down.

Looking at both of them he was quite worried, 'What about Will,' he asked Belle who was barely awake.

"Will... needs... help. I think... the other... one is with Will." Saying that, Issaiah aura surged wildly the wind howling intensely.

He walked forward his gaze directed towards Berge who stood tall his eyes shining in delight. "A worthy opponent, but quite weakened though."

His hands were covered with lighting along with his legs as his figure disappeared. Appearing before him, he threw a punch covered in crackling lightning. Berge did same throwing out his hands in other to gauge his strength.

For a moment, both hands stayed the same before Berge added his qi energy strengthening his hand. He pushed Issaiah few step backward.

"Not bad. C'mon show me what you gat," he said charging forward. Both clashed with explosion going off around the area. Their forms moved across the vast expanse destroying everything in sight.

"Will... need to help... Will." Belle crawled down pushing her body forward. Her broken bones began to heal slowly. She rose from the ground stumbling forward. "My healing, its so slow," she thought as she staggered forward. She noticed her healing wasn't as fast as before and felt a foreign energy within her body.

She soon disappeared from the battle area between Issaiah and Berge. Following the rumbling form the distance, she finally appeared before a destroyed area.

"Will!" She shouted, her thin voice echoing around the area. Her figure was engulfed in flames as she charged forward.
