On the outskirts of the battlefield, a battle between four youths continued to rage on. The three on one battle had been in a deadlock since the beginning, as Adam, Iris, and Chase fought against the powerful Kadin.
They had been put on the backfoot as Kadin’s overwhelming power continued to blast against them, and each had almost lost their lives several times. However, with their incredible teamwork and combat talent, the three were able to keep their lives thus far in their battle.
Roar!
The roar from above startled all, Kadin included as he couldn’t help but pause and glance upwards towards the sky. Just like Asuros, Kadin could feel an overwhelmingly powerful presence rapidly approaching the battlefield.
“Who?” Kadin couldn’t help but mumble in shock.
Iris’s eyes shifted colors as she gazed above, and her expression turned from shocked disbelief to tearful elation as she learned the identity of the roaring figure above. Her expression instantly told the two others who the newcomer was, as all three of them lit up with delighted surprise, and then hopeful expectation.
“We should retreat!” Iris whispered in Adam’s ear after composing herself, voicing her caution as she had a premonition of what was to come. Adam paused for a singular moment, but then nodded his head in agreement as the three began to retreat from Kadin.
Kadin’s gaze snapped back to Adam with heated anger as he prepared to unleash another battle art towards the retreating trio.
“It’s not me you should be worrying about anymore,” Adam replied with a mocking smile as another deafening roar boomed out once again, much closer and much more powerful this time. Its power was too great for Kadin to ignore, and he stopped his attack before turning to face the mysterious power approaching from above.
Boom!
The deafening dragon-like slammed onto Asuros at its center, the roar itself containing enough power that even Asuros was forced to brace against it. After slamming into Asuros, the remaining power of the roar slammed onto the battlefield, drowning all the youths on both sides with its power, Kadin included.
The youths felt as if a dragon had roared within their mind, threatening to shatter it from within. The weaker youths were stunned stiff, while the stronger braced their minds as they resisted the powerful roar. Many of the youths were knocked off their feet and blasted away from the battlefield, unable to resist the might of the roar.
Every youth looked up towards the sky as they spotted a singular figure shooting down towards the battlefield like a meteor.
Bang!
Deafening booms blasted out as the sky suddenly lit up brightly, blinding many of the youths for a moment as hundreds of glowing nodes that had appeared unleashed hundreds of lightning beams down towards them. The beams had appeared in an instant, and each raced down to the ground below with apocalyptic power.
The eyes of the enemy youths widened as they noticed the beams were heading directly for them, with not a single youth left untargeted. The enemy youths erupted with power as they unleashed their own battle arts towards the lightning beams above.
“Retreat!” a loud cry of warning erupted from Miko towards the remaining Honorable Alliance members. They didn’t know what was happening, but they could tell they were not being targeted by the overwhelmingly powerful lightning attacks. The remaining Honorable Alliance members used the opportunity without hesitation, retreating together to avoid the calamitous explosions to come.
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
The battlefield exploded into chaos as the hundreds of lightning beams slammed into hundreds of battle arts. Not a single inch of land was left untouched as the explosions between the attacks drowned everything in their power.
The attacks from the weaker enemy youths were unable to fully resist the lightning beams, resulting in dozens of them being struck directly. Agonized screams boomed out before being silenced by the developing explosions, as dozens of enemy youths were cut down in an instant, while a few dozen more were injured to varying degrees. The remaining youths resisted the attack, but only a few of the strongest youths remained unscathed. Only Zulos had taken the attack head on without defending, as he ignored it while continuing his battle against the onslaught of the three Bobs. However, he had underestimated the might of the attack, and was injured by refusing to defend against it.
The eyes of the Honorable Alliance youths went wide as they saw the calamitous lighting attacks and explosions claim dozens of lives in an instant. The youths who had died were the best of the best, and had killed hundreds or even thousands of Honorable Alliance youths. Only the strongest of the Honorable Alliance youths were able to keep their lives in a direct battle with these enemy youths, and yet those youths had died without being able to resist at all.
The Honorable Alliance youths gazed upwards once more towards the figure above, who plummeted down like a meteor towards Asuros, his speed too fast for even someone like Asuros to react to. Asuros had defended against the direct blast of the draconic roar, and then had also resisted the strongest lightning attack as well.
“Graahhhhh!” A roar of rage boomed out from Asuros as his aura flared out with overwhelming power as the mysterious figure finally appeared before him. The two figures slashed out their weapons towards one another, as a saber and golden battle axe collided with incomprehensible might!
BOOM!
The collision between the two weapons seemed to shake space itself as a sonic boom blasted out immediately. The boom slammed onto the battlefield below, drowning it with devastating power once more. Asuros suddenly blasted downwards like a meteor and slammed onto the land below in an instant.
The land exploded outwards, creating a ruinous tsunami of earth that washed over the battlefield, while Asuros himself burrowed so deep into the earth that none could detect him anymore with their divine sense. The nearby enemy youths were knocked backwards by the blast, some traveling several miles before being able to halt their backwards momentum. After coming to a halt, the enemy youths all retreated to the same location, standing together as they glanced towards the mysterious figure that had appeared without warning.
Large debris rained down on the ruined battlefield, shaking it further as the land continued to tremble nonstop. The mouths of the Honorable Alliance youths opened wide with incomprehensible shock as they watched this all take place from the edges of the battlefield.
They had retreated many miles away from the battlefield upon Miko’s warning, and yet they were still forced to defend against the ruinous power that blasted outwards in all directions. Were they still at their original locations, many of them knew they would have died without being able to defend at all.
The dust and debris faded away, revealing a lone figure that floated in the air above the massive crater that had just formed. The figure had long black hair which billowed lightly in the breeze, framing his handsome face, and wore a regal set of draconic-like armor, making him look like a heroic dragon-armored war god.
Several gasps of pure shock sounded out from the Honorable Alliance group as many instantly recognized the one floating in the air, while a wide smile appeared on Miko’s pale and tired face as he stared at his life-long friend.
“It’s about time you showed up, John!”
