Just as expected, the situation was heading towards the direction that Emery was worried about. At some point, this stopped being a one-on-one duel and turned into a brawl where all of them started ganging up on him.
As these people decided to shed all forms of pretense, the acolyte who had dark skin who had unknowingly disappeared emerged from the ground behind Emery in a muddy form. The man moved so fast and in such stealth that Emery didn't even notice his presence until he had finished doing his job.
Thanks to his somewhat unconventional form of attack, Emery was completely caught off guard and the ground around his feet turned to mud which in turn submerged and held him in place.
This mud person was the third strongest in the party of seven whose test ranking placed only below the magus Bradley and Atlas.
[Rank 33 - Abrafo (38)]
He was an earth element acolyte with 8 pillars formed.
