บท 97: Two Vs One

"So that leaves the two of us and the guy who killed Harman. "

Danaus looked up at Aryan and tried to analyze something from his expressions.

Unfortunately, they had next to no information about him except that he single handedly killed one of their most powerful ally Harman. So it was impossible to analyze anything about him.

After thinking carefully, Danaus turned to look at Ambre.

"Let's go together. "

"Hmmm, fine by me. "

Although he was generally a little narcissistic and arrogant, he wasn't dumb enough to think that he could take on someone who killed a guy like Harman alone.

With that, a jet of fire erupted from Ambre's feet, propelling him towards Aryan hovering above them.

"Fire Bonanza! "

Ambre shouted loudly as his body lit up with fiery flames, turning into a flaming human, and he crashed into Aryan at a high speed.

* thump *

Unfortunately, he was met with an even more powerful flaming punch.

And this was no ordinary flame, it was the solar flame.

* boom *

Ambre's figure was pushed out and he landed on top of the tent they were in just moments ago, raising a cloud of dust.

"You're not bad, but it's your bad luck that you met me. Your fire can't harm me, because I am the Sun.... "

Aryan snorted coldly while looking at Ambre.

"Oh really....! "

Suddenly, a teasing voice entered Aryan's ears out of nowhere and then before he could react, a huge force landed on his back.

* boom *

"What the heck was that? "

Aryan stood up groggily from the ground.

He still couldn't comprehend who attacked him and how.

"Are you looking for someone? "

Once again, the same voice appeared and almost simultaneously, another attack landed.

* screech *

Aryan just barely managed to turn sideways and dodged the sharp blade that was aimed at his heart. But it still pierced his right arm, creating a gashing wound.

"Arrrgghh....So, it's you. "

Finally, Aryan focused on the inconspicuous Danaus who had apparently not moved even an inch from the starting of the battle.

But the blood dripping from his sword gave him away.

"Yes, it's me. Why, are you scared? "

Danaus said sarcastically while wiping off the blood on his blade.

Although he wasn't sure but Aryan had faintly guessed about what just happened.

Somehow, this guy named Danaus has the ability to run at supersonic speed like the Falsh in DC movies, making it impossible for his opponents to see how he attacked.

In fact, although a lot of things happened but it hasn't passed more than a few seconds.

And right at this moment, Ambre bounced back up from the gravel and hurled multiple flame bombs at Aryan.

"Go to hell, you son of a bi*** ! "

* boom * * boom * * boom *

As the fiery explosions engulfed the area around Aryan, Danaus darted forward with astonishing speed, his blade slicing through the air with deadly precision.

Aryan's senses heightened as he attempted to anticipate Danaus's movements, but the supersonic assassin was a blur of motion, striking from unexpected angles with each lightning-fast attack.

Caught between the relentless barrage of flame bombs and Danaus's lightning assaults, Aryan gritted his teeth, his mind racing to devise a strategy. Despite his formidable powers, he realized he was facing adversaries whose skills and tactics posed a serious threat.

The only saving grace was that he met them during the day while his Sunshine ability is still active otherwise he would have even more difficulty facing them.

Summoning the power of the Sun within him, Aryan channeled his energy to create a scorching barrier, deflecting the incoming flames.

"Solar Boom! "

With a swift motion, he launched a counterattack, sending waves of solar energy rippling toward Ambre and Danaus.

However, Danaus effortlessly evaded the attack, his movements almost too swift for the naked eye to follow.

Meanwhile, Ambre danced amidst the flames, his laughter echoing through the chaos as he conjured torrents of fire to rain down upon Aryan.

"Hahaha, come on Danaus, this is getting fun."

Amidst the combined attack of the duo, Aryan was indeed a little embarrassed. But soon he calmed down and thought of a countermeasure.

He activated two abilities at the same time, simultaneously.

"Kaleidoscope!"

First he used the Sin of Lust's ability to create hundreds of life like clones of himself which dispersed in different directions, trying to rush out of the duo's attack range.

And secondly, he activated Sin of Greed's 'Zero Sign' ability which somehow makes him invisible and undetectable, possibly by "stealing" other's perception of him.

Meanwhile, on the other side, after seeing multiple clones running out in different directions, Danaus snorted coldly.

"Hmph, these tricks won't work in front of me."

He activated his divine artifact given to him by Hermes, the shoes he was wearing, and rushed out at a supersonic speed.

In just a couple of seconds, all the clones were slashed to pieces by him.

But he was not happy after seeing the result.

Because, Aryan was missing. There was no one there, almost like their opponent had turned invisible.

"Yes, invisible! That's it, those clones were just to distract our attention. "

Danaus exclaimed in realization and without any thought, shifted away from his position.

* boom *

Almost the next second, a huge pit appeared in the place where Danaus was standing previously.

Naturally, it was Aryan who had used this opportunity to attack this slippery opponent, but unfortunately the enemy is not only fast but also very cunning.

"Ambre, destroy everything within a range of hundred meters, quick. "

Danaus shouted loudly while continuously changing his position.

As Danaus shouted his command, Ambre wasted no time in unleashing a torrent of flames, engulfing the surrounding area in a blazing inferno. Buildings crumbled, trees ignited, and the very ground trembled beneath the force of his onslaught.

Even a few nearby Greek soldiers were involved in the range and were burnt to ashes.

Meanwhile, Aryan remained hidden, his senses attuned to the chaos unfolding around him. Despite his invisibility, he knew he couldn't afford to let his guard down. Danaus was a formidable opponent, his speed and cunning making him a deadly adversary.

Moreover, he was only turning invisible, so his cover was blown by the sea of flames.

And although the flames couldn't do much damage to him in a short time thanks to the passive fire resistance offered by Sunshine ability, it allowed Danaus to see him.

"Got you! "

Danaus snorted coldly.

Suddenly, a flash of movement caught his eye as Danaus streaked through the flames, his blade gleaming in the firelight. With lightning-fast reflexes, Aryan evaded the attack, narrowly avoiding being skewered by the assassin's deadly weapon.

But Danaus wasn't finished yet. With a swift motion, he unleashed a flurry of strikes, each one aimed with deadly precision.

Aryan knew that he couldn't dodge all of them with his speed so he changed his strategy.

"Banishing Kill !"

Aryan locked the hazy figure of Ambre standing outside the flames and activated Sin of Greed's ability.
