Chapitre 70: Otherworlders Vs Ralyks [Pt 3]
[Moments Earlier]
"Belle, Billy… over here!"
As Ralyks was delivering destruction to his classmates, Adonis called for the two individuals who were closest to him.
His serious demeanor was enough to tell anyone that he meant business, so they rushed to his side.
"Let's team up." Adonis said, looking at the both of them.
Belle's brows were raised the moment he asked this.
"Aren't we all teamed up already?"
"No! I don't mean that. It's true that we're all a team, but in a group this large, we're practically utilizing individual abilities at once or in sequence to face him."
Adonis suggested they went a step further.
"If we have considerable teamwork and systematically attack him with a plan in mind, we'll go very far."
Adonis would have loved to have Alicia on board, but she was too far away for him to risk it.
If he made too many moves, the chances of him being noticed by Ralyks went up.
Once that happened, it was game over.
'Besides, both Belle and Billy are more primed towards combat than she is.'
Belle's Wind Magic was two Tiers higher than Alicia's, and Adonis also needed Billy's destructive capabilities as Warrior abilities.
'If Alicia could properly use her SS-Tier Skill, that would be nice. Unfortunately… she can't.'
It drained too much Mana to summon a useful Beast, and her Level was too low to have such Mana.
'Her Healing Magic is also draining, which is why she pours all her energy into Ice Magic.'
One of Adonis' hopes was that Alicia would be able to get a lot more powerful during the Raid and awaken to her true potential.
'After all, she should be the second strongest in our entire class…'
In the end, the three ended up partnering up and watching as Ralyks beat up their classmates—all in order to think of a perfect strategy to counter him.
It took some time, but they were finally ready.
"Remember, both of you…" Adonis heaved a sigh as he summoned his Divine Sword.
"… Give it all you've got!"
*******
'Hmm? What are they up to now?' Rey pondered as he looked at the trio.
He knew they had been together for some time now, so none of this development was surprising to him.
In fact, he would have been disappointed if Adonis hadn't made a move like this.
'But what of it?'
He could only wait and see what the results of their planning was. Meanwhile…
'I hope I didn't overdo it.' Rey looked behind him and noticed Alicia being unconscious.
She wasn't the only one, too.
Practically everyone, except the three that now challenged him, had fallen unconscious.
'White Ember should heal her, so she'll be fine. This is all for her own good anyway.'
Rey knew it was most likely due to [Dead Calm], but he really didn't feel bad for his actions.
He only had the best of intentions for his classmates, and since they all consented to all of this, he had the responsibility of gauging their abilities and showing them a standard of strength.
'Now it remains these three.'
Adonis now wielded his Divine Sword, and Billy had put on all the Buffs that he could.
As for Belle, she was preparing her [Absolute Wind Magic].
'Her Great Mage Class must be really helping her with that Mana Usage issue. Unlike Alicia, who is a Tamer and can't get enough Privileges from her Class when it comes to that.'
Rey began to stroke his masked chin as he thought about something in particular.
'I wonder… hmm, I think I'll try it out after this training exercise.'
Right as he was thinking, both Adonis and Billy rushed towards him.
Billy was holding a powerful sword—thanks to his [Greater Weapon Summon] Skill, and Adonis wielded the Divine Sword.
It was clear who was faster of the two, but Adonis lessened his pace so they could run side by side.
'I guess it's because of their plan. I wonder what it is. Attacking me from both flanks in order to distract me?'
Just as Rey suspected, Adonis rushed to Rey's right and Billy charged to his left.
They both had glowing bodies thanks to the enchantments they had placed on themselves to make them stronger and faster than normal.
Adonis raised his Divine Sword and made to strike, while Billy took his Martial Arts stance and coated his sword with intense flames.
'Belle will probably use Wind Magic to ensure my escape paths are limited, which means I'll either have to dodge Adonis' attack and suffer Billy's strike, or I use my defenses to block Billy and suffer from Adonis' attacks.'
Once again, the battle flowed just as he predicted.
Belle used her [Absolute Wind Magic] Skill to create a wind barricade that pushed Rey away from escaping behind him, and he also couldn't rush forward because of the same barrier.
From a strategic standpoint, they had him pretty trapped.
'What about upward? They probably left that as an option for me for a reason. Should I play along?' Rey wondered as the enemies closed in on him even more.'
He sighed and shook his head a little.
'No… I think I've had enough.'
To be honest, their strategy wasn't bad in the slightest. However, he was just too strong for such things to be an issue for him.
For example…
~WHUUSH!~
Rey instantly teleported to Belle and touched her back.
"A-ah…?!" Her widened eyes depicted surprise as he touched her back.
'You can't fool me. I already know this is a part of your plan.' Rey looked beneath him and could sense a lot of weapons lodged under the ground.
'Belle will use Wind Magic to raise them and try to skewer me. But that's only a distraction so that Adonis and Billy can reach me before I fully recover from the surprise.'
Rey suspected that Adonis would probably use his Light Magic to blind or disorient him, and then he and Billy would rush to strike him down.
'I'm happy they thought this far ahead. Since Adonis has fought an opponent who can teleport, he knows how tricky they can be.'
However, even though he was going according to their plan, things weren't going to turn out the way they wanted.
'For one… I'm faster than they expect.'
Rey moved slightly faster than usual, easily breaking past Belle's Wind Defense.
He hit her at the base of her neck and she instantly fell unconscious. As her body slowly fell to the ground, Rey looked at the shocked and desperate expressions on both Billy and Adonis' faces.
"BELLE!!!" They yelled out.
'Let me try something else…' Rey smiled as he looked at the two rushing towards him.
'[Intense Bloodlust].'
The moment Rey activated this Skill, an aura of danger and intense killing intent spread all over the area.
Intense fear took over, and he watched as the two reacted.
Billy stopped moving entirely, his body shaking as his weapon dropped from his grasp.
As for Adonis, he still advanced despite trembling slightly.
'Ohh!' Rey's eyes widened as a smile coursed through his face.
'Nice one, Adonis!'
Chapitre 71: Conclusion Of The Duel
'Must be that Divine Sword. Or is that a perk of his Class.'
Rey had many thoughts as he saw the Hero approaching with sheer ferocity and an unstoppable will.
Either way, though, Rey couldn't see the fight going his way.
'He looks so determined. I hate to do this to him, but…' He began to raise his hand.
However, he found himself unable to move.
'What's this? Marionette?' He turned to his side to see that Justin was still slightly conscious, and he was smiling while on the floor.
'Nice one, Justin. But…' Rey easily broke through Marionette.
The moment he did so, a flash of lightning descended from the sky—obviously a Skill from Trisha.
Still, none of the electric currents that burst from the attack really affected him.
'Looks like I slightly underestimated their recovery capabilities.' Rey smiled as he stepped out of the lightning-charged assault.
'I should end this now.'
Taking a deep breath, Rey's eyes turned purple as he raised his index finger—seeing that a bunch of people were already gaining consciousness.
"[Absolute Spatial Domain]…" He whispered.
~VWUUUUUUUMMMMM!~
At that very instant, everyone appeared in the same position, forcefully transported beside each other.
Even Adonis, who had been charging towards him, experienced the same change in location.
He looked surprised, but his grand march did not stop.
Unfortunately for the dear Hero, Rey wasn't finished with him—or everyone else for that matter.
"Fall."
In that instant, space itself warped in a way that forced them to fall to their knees before him.
Adonis was no exception.
The boy struggled to get up, but it was no use.
'Space seems to be warping around the Divine Sword, so he must be fighting it somehow.'
However, it was useless.
'My [Absolute Spatial Domain] allows me to control every facet of space around me. That allows me to unwarp the space around the sword.'
For Rey, as long as he had enough power to overpower his enemy, there really wasn't anything they could do to resist.
'Seems like none of them can escape. Time to finish things…'
His index finger was still raised, so Rey activated one of his SS-Tier Skills.
[Divine Elemental Magic].
A sudden swirl of several elemental attributes—Fire, Water, Earth, Wind, Ice, Darkness, Light, etc.—began to swirl around Rey's palm.
Everything danced around one another, becoming a massive sphere that rose above his finger until it floated above Rey.
His other Skill, [Fusion/Fission] allowed everything to flow seamlessly, so no conflicting element reduced the total ability of the cluster of various elements.
Rey smiled as he saw them tremble before his colossal orb of destruction.
'Now you understand…' His thoughts trailed.
It was different seeing a Dragon—the enemy—exhibiting such power, and a human doing the same.
'Ralyks' wasn't even an Otherworlder, so by showing them this power, he wasn't intending on granting them despair.
No. It was the exact opposite.
'You all can do great things like this someday. Well, not all, but…'
As long as they saw someone show them that humans were capable of this much, the people in front of him wouldn't be too distraught about the Dragons.
"That's it. Lesson over."
The cluster of elemental attributes was broken down into nothingness, causing mere sparkles of broken-down energy to remain.
Rey also undid the effects of his Skills, allowing the Otherworlders to move of their volition.
"I was slightly wrong about you all." He moved forward and smiled at the disheveled group.
Their crestfallen faces and dirtied clothes showed just how badly they had been hurt—both physically and emotionally.
Rey stretched out his hand and activated his [Absolute Healing] Skill.
He spread the effects to everyone, and while the ability took a toll on his Mana, it wasn't too serious.
Thanks to his remaining Buffs, it was no big deal.
"A-ahhh…?!"
"I feel good as new!"
"The… hell…?"
Rey smiled and nodded at them, moving even closer to the eight—appearing as nine.
'Healing Magic, unlike Potions, doesn't reset a person's growth by reversion. I'm sure they've grown a tad bit stronger due to this experience.'
"All of you should rise." With everyone being conscious and capable of movement, they obeyed.
Some were a little sluggish, but in a mere few seconds, everyone was on their feet.
Rey placed hands in his pocket and nodded slowly at them.
"Stand proud. You are strong."
He wasn't just saying that to make them feel better. He genuinely thought so.
'Compared to the humans of this world, they're definitely top tier. They are also very young and have room to grow.'
That was enough reason for Rey not to discount them.
"You all have immense potential to be stronger. I can promise you that by the time you are done with this Raid, you'll be much stronger than you were today."
That much was a given, but Rey wasn't done with his admonition.
"I probably won't be able to hold you off as easily as I just did."
As soon as he said that, he could see shocked expressions on the faces of everyone present.
After his display of power, they most likely saw him as an impossible wall that they could never surpass.
But now…
"Who would win between you and all of us if we fought again after actualizing our potential?"
Justin was the one who raised the question, and from his smile, Rey could already tell he wasn't being very serious.
Still, he answered it with his usual 'Ralyks' tone.
"Well, if you were at full strength, then you might cause me some trouble…" He began, stroking his chin a little as he narrowed his eyes on a select few of his classmates.
'Once Alicia can use her Divine Beast Summon, she'll be at an advantage in that aspect due to her Class. Adonis also had a lot of room for growth, and he Levels Up fast too. As much as I don't like Billy, he has a very powerful set of Skills, and then there's Belle and her problematic abilities.'
All in all, Rey could see a bunch of other students as well who would prove problematic if they all joined forces and fought him with a proper strategy.
That said…
"Would you lose though?" Adonis asked with all seriousness.
Rey smiled at the Hero, almost as if he already knew what was on the boy's mind.
There was no need to skirt around the issue.
'They could give me all the trouble in the world. That doesn't matter at all.'
Rey was still confident in the outcome.
"Nah, I'd win."
