The battle between the proctor and James against the spider lady named Kalea continued in a standstill.
And due the injuries that the proctor has and james low rank they can barely hold on to Kalea.
But in every battle there is a turning point which there will be tilt that can change the battles momentum.
Surely enough it happened sooner than expected.
"Wha!"
"Buha."
"James!"
"Tch, the kid is at his limits."
"To be expected after all he just forced a unification and fought with its unstable form."
"Ho, so you noticed it already huh."
"Obviously who do you think I am?"
"Just some mad woman with bloodthirsty tendencies."
"My how, harsh no wonder you're not famous with the ladies."
"On the contrary I'm quite a ladies man. Just not to those with weird quirky attitudes like yours."
"Ha! what a man."
They exchange conversation as they exchange blades. But like James the proctor was then Hit with a strong force destroying his stance which made him flung hard and far.
"Gah!"
"Well then let's finish you off."
She then moves to finish off the proctor. But like every other cliche I successfully healed, good enough to to fight back and stop her next move.
With a fast impact I made her lose her balance which the proctor took notice and advantage of.
"Gah-ha"
"Thanks for the assist kid."
"No problem."
"How about you? How long can your Unity last?"
"About three to five minutes."
"Then help me finish her off in that amount of time."
After planning out on a fly we then made our move to attack Kalea.
"Bastards take this."
She then whipped out her spider webs like whips and the number of those whips are at least ten which are currently aiming at us.
We then charged forth and attacked her in different directions putting pressure on her and making it easy for us to spot her weakness.
And before long we are already gaining the upper hand by giving her more injuries than her body can handle.
Then things a turn when she increase the intensity of her aura, blasting us far.
"Wha?"
"Ah!"
"You also have a berserker potion?"
"Yeah just in case but I really didn't expect this to happen."
We were then the ones that were forced in a defensive position and before long we will definitely lose.
A battle which has our life on the lion and all of us are at our limits. James is losing his unity form, the proctor is already injured and tired from his previous fight.
And me who is already having a constant headache from preventing the explosion from happening.
"Sir, James, can you hold her for a few seconds."
"Why do I think we can beat her with my weapon but I need time. Can you guys do it?"
"Is it fool proof?"
"Yes, it's super effective."
"Okay I'll put my trust in you this time."
"Mine too."
"Thank you."
As they agreed I took out a gun shaped weapon for me to use my electricity more effectively.
The last time I used this move I wasn't able to use my right arm properly and it took me a long time for it to heal.
And then I thought why not create something to substitute the impact of the attack so I modeled this weapon as a gun but since I lack materials. This thing can only be used once then it will be just scrap.
That's right, the move that I will use right now is railgun. This will be a gamble but will definitely blast that b*tch to oblivion, hopefully.
We then moved in different directions as I prepared my attack while the others kept her occupied.
"I don't know what you're doing but you won't succeed."
She yelled as she attacked us with great force. Still we were able to keep our distance to her as we kept her in her place.
We continued as I felt it was good to go. Then I signaled them.
"Now!"
With all they've got they stopped her movement.
James used a huge sword slash that splits into two directions. followed by the proctors used wind magic encapsulating Kalea.
Seeing this I didn't hesitate and inserted a coin in the gun then pressed the trigger.
Releasing a great amount of energy, much more power than the last one I previously used.
"What is this let me out?!"
She screamed trying to get out of the entrapment but it was too late the blast of the railgun reached her creating a sonic boom hitting us with it in the process.
"Ahh!"
We were thrown far. But since I was far from the blast I was able to stand up faster than the rest. As for James and the proctor they were closer So they ere by the aftershock and might be unconscious right now.
"Phew, success."
"What success?"
"What?"
I thought that we were able to defeat her instead she survived the attack. The only saving grace is that she is not in her unity form and is extremely injured.
"You think you won? It's not so easy to defeat kids. I guess I was a little lenient at the battle earlier but this time it's your demise."
She said as she took out her weapon and stabbed it to herself.
"Why did you do that?"
"You don't know? let me refresh your memory. The crystal that was supposed to explode."
"It can't be? You absorb it all."
"Yes and no, I was only able to contain and use its power for a few minutes. But there is still a chunk of mana for it to explode this whole place up. Which includes you and your friends. "
She said with a huge smile on her face as she continued.
"You only have a few seconds left tick-tock."
Hearing that I rushed to her hoping to find a way to stop the explosion.
Upon reaching she fought back trying to stop me but since she was gravely injured it was easy for me to immobilize her.
"Heh. Ehehehe you think getting close can help you find a solution. Let's if you survive the explosion of a rank fours self-detonation."
She then said something that froze my very soul. An explosion of this size is gonna be tremendous then she included her self-destruction making me feel hopeless lost.
"Kuu!"
And before I knew it Titan was there beside me. I guess I will spend my last day of life beside this glutton.
"...…Wait a minute….Glutton. That's right!. Buddy let's save everyone."
I realized it late but not too late, there is sttill a way for us to survive.
"I hope you're hungry because this is gonna be a huge chunk of meat for you bud."
I said as I formed another set of runes around Kalea with my mana domain.
Titan can absorb a lot of mana and it seemed to be unlimited but just to make sure I made this rune space.
The purpose of this is to create a dome with two ways out of energy.
Obviously I can't stop the explosion but if I can deflect it's direction even by a little for a few seconds it might be possible.
The explosion would usually be a scattered process. But with the two holes I made in these rune domes.
I can use one for Titan to eat the mana while the other would be excess energy to limit the mana he absorbs. This only to make sure he doesn't over eat, and overdose with eating mana.
"Here it comes, Get ready!"
I called out for Titan to prepare and then it happened the mana of a rank four beast tamer, and the unstable energy of the crystal ran wildly.
And as it did so cracks formed into my runes. But thankfully it did its job as it deflects the excess mana.
Titan started absorbing the excess mana to his direction. But not all of it was absorbed by him and as I expected it was the right call to do two way exits.
The other load of mana runs upstream making it easy for me to restructure the cracked runes. Although it continued to get cracked it was still manageable.
And as if saying it was the last load of mana they became even more unstable. It started creating more cracks in my runes which is even faster than I can recreate it.
Using all my willpower I did my best to cover the explosion. Slowly the explosion subsided and there I saw it. The blast created a crater at its center.
And Titan shaking from the aftermath. Seeing he was okay I lost all strength and before I knew it I lost consciousness.

"What kind of explosion was that?"
"I don't know?"
"Let's find out."
As the explosion occurred three individuals came towards the source of the explosion.
And when they arrived they saw a person in armor lose all strength and fall down.
"What happened?"
"From the looks at it a battle happened and it might be caused by that full plated armored guy."
"You might be right, let's apprehend him first before anything else."
"You better stop that. That kid just saved our lives."
"Lone wolf?"
"You're here?"
"Yes and I'm this kids' guardian for this test. "
He said as he emphasized Dustin's group.
