章節 65: Chapter 64: Versus: Sinister Scales (4)

"Kraig! I knew all along that you are that caring family member who shows love and support!" Atlas cheered, celebrating Kraig's arrival by stuffing a bunch of Aura pills from his pouch into his mouth.

Bursts of Aura sewed through Atlas's body and meridians, powering his punches by providing backup sources of energy.

"I've always had a good feeling about you. The prediction that you'd eventually come back for my back from an attack!" Fiery violent Aura ignited frenziedly, sending sparks down Zhou Yu's bones.

Kraig defended against Borus's claws with the tip of his longsword concentrating on battling without bothering to reply to Atlas.

Even though they are equaled for now, Borus's experience and ruthlessness are major benefits on deciding the outcome of a battle.

Atlas immediately shut his mouth, not disturbing Kraig furthermore.

He technically did idiotically pick a fight on their first encounter, so he really can't leave a worse impression to his future wife's cousin.

Pinning Zhou Yu against the wall with his furious punches and slowly gaining the upper hand, Atlas managed to catch a breath. "Percy, give a status of..."

With his instincts ringing abruptly, Atlas channeled half of his Aura towards his waist before a fist jabbed into his ribs.

Vomiting a cluster of dark blood, pain engulfed Atlas as Zhou Yu used his iron fan and landed a swat on his cheeks.

Rolling a few meters away, Atlas struggled to stand on his feet, forcing himself to swallow another handful of Tier one healing pills they cooked up the other night despite the throbbing pain.

The other Tier 5 Axonn has come to Zhou Yu's aid.

"Nova. Nova! Answer!" Percy screamed into the microphone in a hidden room far off the battlefield.

As a person who has yet to learn cultivation, he had to stay far away from the influence of the battle between Warriors.

His job is to monitor the situation, but Nova declined the idea of installing a camera at his location, because it apparently might affect his sniping performances as the best snipes requires to be performed in the most comfortable environment.

"Mr. Serpent. Inform the status of Nova please."

"He's fine. He's... burying a dead crow." Serpent spoke with a low volume, waiting for Nova to finish this burial. "I think this crow blocked the bullet for him."

"A fledging crow to be precise." Nova has left his half kneeling position. "A 1 week young crow who has barely learnt to fly."

Nova balanced his heart of dismay, clutching his Sniper into battle position. "Help the others while I cover Atlas. Plus, I see with my scope, that another ally is arriving soon."

————————

Thin scars scattered on his arms, Borus clashed his claws against Kraig's.

The blood poured from the open scars as he continued to tense his muscles, striking at Kraig will all his might.

"I recognize you! I thought your family is in alliance with the Draco Family!" Borus roared, venting his rage.

While the two strongest Axonns fought their battle, Atlas was wasting time so his wound can heal and close in time.

"Zhou Yu, am I right?" Atlas placed his hands on his lap, catching his breath and grimacing to the pain in his ribs. "We should be fighting one on one. I'm pretty sure the Duke of the Sinister Scales don't require anyone else to fight a teenager like me. Cheating is dishonorable for the Duke."

"Like I care. That's exactly why we are what they call criminals. What's more, you even went to mock me and assume my gender!" Zhou Yu squealed in his high pitch voice, generating another miniature tornado as his teammate and he himself rushed at Atlas in different directions and weapons.

"It's 2019, how can I be assuming anyone's gender?" Atlas sighed, stomping his foot on the ground, creating a mildly deep and long fissure. "You've done it. I am now unleashing my most powerful move right now, and I don't even care that it has a high possibility of taking my own life."

Atlas roared at maximum volume as a sphere shaped electric ball slowly increased in size.

The intensity of the violet color increased, creating a horrifying atmosphere.

"Watch out. We have to be careful."

Hearing the serious threats, both of them halted, backing up immediately to keep distance, making it easier for them to dodge whatever this monster of a teenager is about to unleash.

"Argh!" Atlas resumed, taking a bit longer than the Tier 5 Axonns were expecting. "My ultimate power!"

Zhou Yu and his teammate veiled several layers over themselves, protecting themselves from the chilling energy generating between Atlas's palms.

A blinding flash caught the attention of Zhou Yu at the corner of his eye.

A bullet shaved through the air, reflecting the burning sunlight.

"Boss Borus didn't take out that Sniper!" Zhou Yu yelled to warn the others and both of them channeled 20% percent of their Aura to their back.

A sniper bullet can be deadly to other Axonns, but with the double layer of protection, their defense Aura and thick, sturdy physical body, they were confident enough to block a simple bullet.

"Argh!" Atlas began racing at them with the crackling lightning ball in his hand.

With this menacing threat in front of them, they focused on Atlas, unaware that the sniper bullet behind them is decreasing in size in a sedate pace, as if its being shallowed bit by bit by an unknown force.

"My ultimate technique!" Atlas jolted the lightning Aura ball. "Pussy escape!"

The Aura ball exploded, giving Atlas a brisk and massive nudge towards the opposite direction.

The effect was in reverse of what they expected.

The 80 percent Aura shield was unharmed, the impact of the explosion pushing them backwards as they slid half a meter backwards.

"Kraig! Duck right!" The wrist band around Atlas's wrist increased into a few meters long metal chain, racing rapidly towards Borus who was heavily distracted by his own battle.

At the same time, the bullet collided with Zhou Yu partners, penetrating the mere 20 percent Aura protection of a Tier 5 Axonn, corroding malleable Aura into dry, brittle material.

A spurt of blood sprayed from the hole caused by the tiny bullet. The Tier 5 Axonn immediately disbanded the rest of his Aura, transferring towards the wound to clean this bullet entrance and push out the bullet.

However, things didn't go as planned.

Like a virus, his efforts were wasted, Aura transforming into the same dry and brittle material, spreading the similar effect and corrupting everything it touches.

Simultaneously, a gleaming fan made with unknown material entered Zhou Yu's sight, bashing his white, powered face, almost giving him a serious concussion.

A decent looking woman with his exact same weapon appeared, posing it in a very unique position.

Nova upstairs retrieved his Lobaev Sniper, disarming the rifle components in seconds and adjusting it into its original positions in the suitcase.

He jumped off the building without hesitation, digging his Aura coated fingers into the concrete industrial building wall as he slid down, monitoring the battlefield while he descended to the low ground.

It is time to get close and personal.
