District 42-Chapter 394: Three vs One

After MMA’s assault, it was time for the other team to attack.

The first ones to start moving were Ivar and Tein. Both exchanged glances before initiating their onslaught.

Tein accumulated flames under his feet, creating an explosive force that pushed him towards the Boss. He had his tungsten blade prepared in his hand, already increasing the heat on it to deliver a powerful blow. His speed only increased along the way as the flames got intenser.

That was the most annoying thing about Tein’s power: it increased more and more as time passed. Even seconds could be deadly at some point. His flames knew no boundaries. His power seemed to be infinite.

Ivar didn’t stay behind and charged forward as soon as Tein did. With his abnormal perception, he knew exactly where MMA was. He increased the level of his special exoskeleton to the max. It wasn’t time to hold back or worry about getting severely harmed again.

’If it is against the Boss, I need to give it my all. After seeing his power, I bet that Tein will do the same. They say that this man is the strongest of the District, so let’s see if he is strong enough to bear the pressure of us both!’

Raul noticed the quick approach of the Vanir of flames and the Fenrir. He decided to back away for the time being and analyze their pace, so he could find the right moment to jump in and fight with them.

"Look closely! We will start to act as soon as we get used to their pace. I will go head-on and you two stay supporting from behind as always!" The butler ordered Canute and Ari, who nodded their heads and paid attention to the unfolding exchange of blows in front of them.

The first to reach MMA was Ivar. No sound was heard on his approach at first, it just came after he had already clashed against the cyborg.

In a moment, MMA was just standing and giving a side-long glance to the direction where Ivar and Tein were coming from. However, less than a second after, Ivar suddenly appeared with his blade already slashing horizontally and getting defended by MMA’s hand.

The impact of the attack was such that it reverberated throughout the entire plaza. Everyone still standing in that place could feel on their feet the impact of that blow.

Right after, Tein appeared behind MMA, spinning his body in the air as flames surrounded him and giving a 360 kick on the cyborg.

MMA simply bent his body backward and avoided the kick as if it was the slowest attack that someone ever did against him.

Tein and Ivar continued on their fast and relentless assault. MMA was just as fast as them while dodging and counterattacking.

Their figures were just blurs moving around the battlefield and leaving a trace of destruction everywhere they went.

"Ok, they won’t do it alone, I am going!" Raul said.

Canute and Ari weren’t quite confident that they would be able to follow their pace, but they were sure that they could make the difference in that battle if they did their best.

Raul took two long blades from his back, that seemed like short swords, but their blades were way too thin to be considered as such.

He kicked the ground and crossed the battlefield nearly as quickly as Tein and Ivar did.

He entered the battle as a good opening appeared on MMA. The Fenrir locked blades with him again and Tein missed another burst of fire. However, it took the Boss out of balance.

Raul appeared right at this moment, looking like he was dancing with his two blades, and delivered a cross slash towards the cyborg.

MMA quickly maneuvered his arm that was defending Ivar’s blade, directing his sword to the side and nearly disarming him. Ivar felt a twist on his wrist, such was the strength applied to that technique.

Meanwhile, the cyborg already had delivered a roundhouse quick on Tein, who flew several meters away.

He did it just in time to avoid the first attack of Raul, barely get scratched by the second one, and finally, regain his balance and give him a hook that lifted both his legs several meters from the ground. While the butler was still on the air, he punched him on the stomach three consecutive times before sending him flying away with a kick just like Tein.

The butler felt the most excruciating pain that he ever felt in his life. Just those three punches were enough to break his limbs and smash his organs. He was sure that the internal bleeding that he got would kill him in just some minutes if he didn’t take care of it.

Raul didn’t lose his balance, though, and skidded on the ground, diminishing his speed until he stopped.

Despite his pain, he looked at MMA with a confident look.

The cyborg was solemnly standing in the middle of the encirclement that the group made around him. He seemed unharmed at first, but then a stain of blood began to run down his cheek, coming from a superficial cut that Raul made.

"I got the first blood." The butler announced, confidently.

"Now, another time! Let’s push him like that again until we can land something worth it!" Ivar shouted, changing the sword to his other hand. The right wrist was messed up due to MMA’s maneuver.

The Fenrir charged in again, confident that he could land something this time. The exoskeleton was beginning to hurt him, but he brushed it off and concentrated on the fight.

Tein couldn’t be more excited about that battle. His body was all enveloped in flames as he rushed at the same time as Ivar towards the Boss.

Raul followed them right after.

MMA took a fighting stance, one more solidly than before. His face was still serious, but there was something different on it now.

"Combat mode. First stance. Activate." He uttered. "It’s time to get offensive. All the data about the enemies were gathered!"
