Gyus blinked in confusion. "What are you talking about?"

Stallus smiled a mysterious smile. "Don’t worry about that, now that I’m out of your reach how will you react?"

Gyus shook out his hands. "Yes, you’re out of my reach but do you think I only have one technique?"

Essence gathered thickly on his hands and the claws shone like molten metal. He raised his hands and shouted. "Claw render!" Then he swiped down.

Ten thick bolt of red energy blasted out creating a wall of redness that cut anything in it’s path. Stallus was surprised but she react quickly by sending two crystals out before the attack reached her.

The two attacks collided and exploded in a shower of shockwave that cracked the ground and the building beside then collapsed. Stallus herself was sent back and she slammed into the wall with a pained huff.

Gyus laughed crazily as he quickly took advantage and appeared in front of her, clawing down with the swiftness of a fox but just then something flashed in front of his eyes. Everything seems to slowed down and he saw the blue crystal that’s not more than the head of a pin.

He tried to jerk back but it was too late and the small crystal exploded! Directly on his left eyes. The explosion was small but it was enough to destroy his eye and blind him. "You little shit! I’m going to enjoy stumping on your head!"

With his momentum stopped he covered his left eye with his hand and clenched his teeth tightly against the pain as blood sprouted. He opened his mouth to speak again but Stallus was already attacking, this time with her weapon!

No fancy technique, all she did was point her sword and thrust forward. Gyus was wounded but not dead yet, he couldn’t avoid the attack so he swiped the blade with his claws.

Clang! Claws and metal met and the sword meant for his heart was sent to his right shoulder and it entered with little resistance.

"Ughh!" Guys grunted in pain, his eyes filled with hatred and all he wanted to do is tear her from limbs to limbs but before he could began to think of doing that, Stallus used the weight of her body to rest on the sword and then cut down!

"Ahhhhhh!" Pain bolted through Gyus and he stumbled back, he watched his right hand fell in disbelief. What just happened?! Blood fell faster than he could cover with his right hand and his remaining eye dripped with painful tears.

Stallus nodded in satisfaction and began to approach him casually. "You are tough but not like the one Azaroth is fighting. A pity but maybe if you have more essence then you would have win."

As Initiate rank, Gyus isn’t even at the level Stallus and the others were in their previous rank.

Gyus tried to smile bitterly but his muscles won’t obey him as he wanted. "You bastards! You think you can walk over us because you have some enchanted tools, you’ll all die and I mea....!!"

His head spun in the air, hitting the floor with a dull thud and his body followed. Stallus shook her head and kicked the body while she wiped the blood away from her blade and said. "Yes. I can walk over you."

The warriors of the tax collectors are enraged but they made no move when they just saw someone kill their boss who’s way stronger than them. Stallus thought that was smart and turned towards Alex and Jim fighting.

Alex was having fun because the fighting style of Jim is entirely different and new. He fights so different and at first he didn’t know how to react.

Jim is a blad head man and the reason why he’s that became pretty obvious. His skills lies in his head and he ran and bash things like a ram. But unlike those horned animals, his head can tear metal into two and create a large hole. Not to talk of human flesh.

Alex avoided him by dodging and striking back with his sword, hacking at the body as it fly past. But it’s almost impossible to do since his body is as boneless like a doll and the head as impossible to penetrate.

Jim skills is a combination of two. One made his head into an hammer and turned the rest of his body into cloth like quality while he tucked his hands into his cloth.

"You bastard! Turn into normal and just fight me!" Alex shouted in frustration. Every strike he did waa almost futile and the lightning he sent hardly do any work but still, Jim came at him like a charging bull.

He’ll set his head towards him, then he’ll float horizontally and shot off like a bullet. This made it near impossible for Alex to forge his hand as he had to made his legs faster to avoid the human bullet.

And Jim have the tendencies to curl around in the air and shot at him again. If this continues then Alex knew he’ll get really hurt or he’ll be forced to reveal his true powers. "What type of technique is this! I almost thought it’s only elemental techniques exist!"

Suddenly he brought his sword down and then, clang! The sword slammed into the head and caused a small shockwave as sent Alex staggered and his hands shaking with vibration but he made little damage to the enemy as Jim is already getting ready for another turn and bash

"I’m not doing this again." Alex muttered and raised the sword. He then directed all his essence to his hands, leaving his legs to the natural movement. Meaning, he won’t be as fast aw before.

He held the formation he wanted in his mind and then he got ready. Jim turned and usually and then shot forward with the force of an howling wind.

Alex raised his sword and began to power his formation. This this is, his stomach churned and his eyes narrowed while sweat covered his forward.
