Clixzu chuckled at their bewildered expressions. "Are you two genuinely that dense? I thought it would be a simple concept to grasp."
Omixify, once again lunging in with critical strike active, passed straight through Clixzu. Omixify, a straightforward man, still recognized that his critical hit wasn't active on Clixzu just as the strike was about to land.
In a patronizing tone, Clixzu stated, "If you're just going to attack normally, there's no point in us even fighting. You two finish each other off, and I'll pick off the winner when he's fatigued."
Plotify, knowledgeable about most egoist techniques, wasn't sure about this particular one. Throughout the interaction between Clixzu and Omixify, he analyzed both their egos. Remarkably, Clixzu's ego completely vanished, an extraordinary occurrence usually associated with death.
Clixzu dashed towards Plotify, exclaiming, "I'm not the kind of idiot to let you get your bearings, you know."
Plotify teleported away, attempting to stay clear of Clixzu while devising a strategy.
Omixify, frustrated by his inability to hit Clixzu, redirected his aggression towards the one he could hit – Plotify. Charging at Plotify, he struck him in the liver, causing Plotify to stagger and fall to the ground, blood spurting from his mouth.
Plotify groaned, "Damn, that hurt more than before."
Clixzu caught up first, striking Omixify with his left leg and instantly phasing to strike Plotify with his right. This sent an already injured Plotify flying across the room
On the other side of the room, Sway and Ace continued their battle as another wanderer approached. Sway, still on the ground from the previous strike, began to stand up. Ace, seeing Sway in a weakened state, charged in, winding his hammer for a strike aimed at the back of Sway's head.
As the sledgehammer descended on Sway, a man appeared, Ace's hammer resting on his arm. Ace, shocked by the apparent lack of damage, exclaimed, "What kind of weirdo are you?"
The man responded, "I wouldn't say weirdo. The name's Kyz."
Ace, attempting another strike to Kyz's temple, found the same lack of reaction. This time, Kyz placed his hand on Ace's chest.
Kyz whispered, "Expel."
Ace was abruptly sent flying back. Sway, now fully on his feet, said, "Thanks, man. He almost had me."
Kyz, looking at him with disgust, slapped Sway, sending him flying across the room.
Ace, charging at Kyz once again, unleashing a relentless onslaught of hits, each more forceful than the last. Kyz's expression shifted; he wasn't calm anymore as he quickly exclaimed, "Shit. Expel."
An energy released from Kyz's entire body, sending Ace flying back. Smirking, Ace commented, "I thought you were a tough guy. Turns out you just absorb damage and expel it afterward."
Kyz, staring at his arm, muttered, "Tsk, one shot made it through. My arm feels heavier. I'm guessing that's his technique."
Ace, turning to Sway, exclaimed, "You should leave. You're just going to get yourself killed. There's nothing outstanding about your abilities. You're a summoner who can't even defend himself."
Sway, standing up again, forming a fighting stance whispers. "Fuckkkk, all this time, and I never made myself stronger. I'm barely able to compare."
