Hearing such a threat, Adam had only one reply.
"Have at it then." [Adam]
The guardian took only a step to appear before Adam.
"Boleon." [Guardian]
A purple energy appeared within his palm. He then aimed it at Adam, who simply stood there with no reaction whatsoever.
"Adam!" [Felix]
"Last Bastion." [Adam]
A clear dome appeared around Adam, deflecting the purple energy the moment it was released.
"...A soul weapon." [Guardian]
The guardian stretched his arms backwards.
"Ngh…" [Guardian]
Letting out a grunt, two more arms sprouted. It made an unsettling sound similar to cracking and crunching.
"That's disgusting." [Adam]
"Say what you will." [Guardian]
Using its four arms, the guardian tried to pry open Adam's dome.
"Wow, you must really want to kill me. So much so that you didn't even check your surroundings." [Adam]
The guardian glanced back as it saw Felix and Monalia raising their weapons behind him.
"Pests!" [Guardian]
Releasing two of its hands, the guardian caught the attacks.
"What?! Damn it Adam, why did you tell him!" [Felix]
"Begone!" [Guardian]
Holding the weapons, the guardian flung Felix and Monalia away.
"Don't forget me." [Adam]
He lowered the dome, letting loose a single punch to the guardian's jaw.
"Urgh!" [Guardian]
It staggered backwards with wide eyes.
"This…" [Guardian]
It rubbed its chin as it stared at Adam.
"Peak level strength?" [Guardian]
Adam shrugged.
"I honestly don't know what rankings you're referring to. Quick question, is it higher than yours?" [Adam]
There was no reply.
"You're not even going to humor me. Okay." [Adam]
Glancing at Felix and Monalia, he could see them slowly approaching the guardian.
"I see. I cannot kill you if these two were to bother me-" [Guardian]
A ball of light struck the back of its head, causing it to lurch forward.
"I'm here too!" [Tiffany]
"...These three." [Guardian]
Having said that, its appearance suddenly became distorted. As if it was vibrating at incredible speeds, two images appeared.
"...What's it doing?" [Adam]
The two images suddenly solidified. The guardian had now become two separate entities. The only way to tell the difference between the two was that one had a horn on the left side of their forehead and the other had it on the right.
"Leave the pests to me." [Right Horned Guardian]
"Leave the hybrid to me." [Left Horned Guardian]
"Hybrid?" [Adam]
The two split ways. The left horned guardian charged at Adam, while the right horned went straight to Felix.
"Oh shit." [Felix]
The guardian grabbed him by the face. Without a moment to react, Felix found himself being thrown to the ground.
"Agh!" [Felix]
"Felix!" [Tiffany]
"Stay back!" [Monalia]
Rushing forward, Monalia attempted to tackle the guardian. Unfortunately, it was only left smiling seeing as it hadn't budged.
"It's futile." [Right Horned Guardian]
Striking Monalia with its elbow, she also fell.
"Monalia!" [Tiffany]
"And then there was one." [Right Horned Guardian]
Gazing at Tiffany, it felt pleasure in seeing the fear on Tiffany's face.
"Eyes downwards shitface." [Felix]
Grabbing its leg, Felix said one word.
"Warp." [Felix]
The two suddenly vanished, leaving Monalia out for the count and Tiffany baffled.
"Hm?!" [Left Horned Guardian]
In the midst of its combat with Adam, the guardian looked behind it.
"Where did my other half go?!" [Left Horned Guardian]
