"What do you say!?" Emma halted, asking with a trembling voice.
{You're such a useless thing. Why do I choose you? Go die.}
Emma saw the row of words in his mind and wanted to curse out loud. If not for this asshole, we won't be in this scenario. His chest moved up and down inside the suit. He took a deep breath to calm his raging heart.
[[200 meters ahead of you after the huge mountain is a purple light.]]
[[Advice to move right now.]]
[[Detecting ongoing battle.]]
9 seconds left.
His brain was going overdrive. He looked at the multiple Shroja surrounding them on all sides and grip his spear tightly. His thump press a hidden button on it.
[[Vibration Effect activated.]]
"Listen you all, purple light has been detected. 200 meters ahead—" He paused. "I don't need to tell you what to do."
Purple what?
His teammate's heart missed a beat. They looked in the direction of their commander and then 200 meters. There is Hope. Their eyes brighten, and the rush of adrenaline runs into their veins. Every tissue, and muscle on their body went overdrive.
Emma didn't have to wait for the action. He swings his spear and murmured. "Parallel Destruction Spear — Avalanche"
A crimson light flew out of his spear, creating an arc. The crimson arc travel at unprecedented speed.
The air vibrated for a moment before creating a bursting sound. Po! The land shook vehemently, the Shroja paused and his teammates widened their eyes.
Boom!
The crimson light decimated everything on its path into smitten. What kind of power is this? For a moment, the Shroja failed to regenerate. A deep gully appeared where the attack when through. Nothing was left from the Shroja under the attack. It's like they never existed in the first place.
Whoosh!
[[Suit Speed Enhancement activated.]]
Emma dashed forward, leaving an afterimage. In a split of seconds, he had covered 50 meters. What! His teammates stood rooted on the spot with their mouths ajar.
"D-Did he just covers 50 meters," Laka asked, stupefied.
Mata recovered from her initial shock and killed the Shroja in front of her and rushed after Emma shouting "8 seconds left"
Shit!
They recovered from their daze, destroying the Shroja in front of them. Quickly, they sprint after Emma, leaving a trail of dust. Can they make it? Suddenly, another round of Shroja sprouts out from the ground. This time, they are red with thorns all over their bodies with sharp conniving teeth.
It became a race.
A race of two entities.
Emma didn't know and didn't care what was going on behind. An enormous mountain was in front of him. Behind the mountain was the purple light. He didn't dilly dally, rushing over the mountain. Though the mountain has steep slopes. He didn't care.
A sudden force assaulted him on the mountain, forcing his speed to reduce. He groaned. His suit made a cracking sound. 'Nothing will stand in my way.' "Zeus, speed overdrive."
[[All resources allocated to Speed Enhancement.]]
[[Speed going overdrive.]]
Emma shot forward like the force was nothing. He arrived at the mountain instantly. He saw purple light and a wild smile appeared on his face. 'Rushing down will cost me some seconds.' The mountain was 1000 meters high. Yet, Emma jumped down like it was nothing.
When his teammates saw him jumping down from the mountain top. They gasped. But they recovered quickly, climbing the mountain. Assaulted by the force. They press a button on their suit and they rushed forward, not caring about the obstacle.
Boom!
Emma landed, sending a cloud of dust in the air. His eyes were focused on the ongoing battle. More than twenty people of different races were battling furiously. He ignored the battle. His eyes were focused on the purple light. Nothing in the world matters right now than the Alizda mark.
5 seconds left.
Whoosh!
[[Calculating battle plan.]]
[[Three crowd control attacks. ]]
[[Extreme speed solo attack.]]
[[All attacks must be done under 3 seconds.]]
Seeing an unknown person rushing into the battlefield. The different races were furious. They were racing against time. Why would another person join them? A giant with one big eye at the center of his forehead attacked Emma with a powerful hammer.
Emma didn't stop his speed, he maneuver the sudden giant attack and sent out a powerful punch with his left arm.
Boom!
The punch sent the giant flying. He blinked his single eye, wondering what just happened. Arriving at the center of the battle. Emma waves his spear and shouts.
"Parallel Destruction Spear— Avalanche"
Ah!!!
Cloud of dust raised in the air with cries of misery. The sudden powerful attack caught the battleground off guard. Many eyes focused on Emma. If we don't kill this guy we won't be able to acquire the Alizda mark.
Just then, Emma's teammates arrived on the battlefield and a loud yell reverberated.
Hahaha
"Finally, my sword could taste real blood," Laka announced with a hysterical laugh. Their nerve was on the line right from the beginning. Now, there is hope and he could vent out his bottle-up anger.
The ladies' faces weren't any better than Laka's face. They looked at each other and made an eye signal. A cruel smile appeared on their faces.
Whoosh!
They disappeared into the ongoing battle with their weapons in hand. None of Emma's teammates were green to blood or naive to battlefield. Jojo turned maniac. She beheads any target with a smile. Group or no group. She rushed into them.
Are these people crazy?
Maya the quiet type, swings her sword elegantly, leaving a blue trail behind. Her target only makes a single cry before losing consciousness. Elegant but deadly.
Mata was neither fierce nor gentle. She decimated her target under two attacks.
-30 HP
-50 HP instant kill
-40 HP
-50 HP Instant kill
-50 HP instant kill
2 seconds.
The tolling bell reverberated throughout Chaos world. The quiet land began to sprout out a different types of Shroja. The air was heavy. Ominous feeling clouded everywhere. Everyone's blood runs cold. Their hair stood straight. They swallowed the lumps in their throat.
Seeing the deadly Shroja, Emma sent out two powerful attacks twice.
"Parallel Destruction Spear— Avalanche"
Boom!
"Now!" He shouted in his comms.
Emma and his teammates rushed toward the purple light. The curtain of Emma's attack was yet to subside when the team rushed toward the purple light. Emma rushed into the purple light and reached over his hand, taking the dark crystal.
