Ozzie kept on skidding and bouncing off the ground. He continued this for a long time for he eventually stabbed his sword into the ground.
Even at that, he went a little bit further before coming to a stop. Luckily for him, his bone armour was just doing fine protecting him.
Not long though, Lyon has caught up with him. He flew forward at Ozzie, but Ozzie parry him to the side.
Lyon's body shot into the ground. Ozzie seeing this swung his sword in the direction. However, no one was there.
Lyon had already used his rat beast to move underground. He jumped off the ground and throw a punch at Ozzie.
He raised his shield just in time to block the attack, and then swing his bones whip.
Lyons wing unfold and blocked the attack. Yet, he was flung backwards and skid through the ground but not for long.
Ozzie didn't want to waste such an opportunity and decided to rush in with a spear. He stabbed Lyon who already rolled off the ground.
The spear stabbed on the ground just beside Lyon. He quickly kicked off the ground to his feet. He spun his body around and throw a kick at Ozzie.
However, the other raised his shield and blocked the kick and parried it to the side. This created an opening for Ozzie to swing his sword down.
Lyon was slammed to the floor and blood gush out from the place he was stabbed.
Lyon endured the pain before distancing himself from Ozzie.
"Hahaha...!" Ozzie laughed.
"I admit that you have so much strength at your disposal... All your attacks could confirm that,"
"But you see... You see this body, I created it specially. I used a lot of humans, zombies, and beasts to create this body,"
"Although I might not have the painless feeling of a zombie, I do have one thing in common with them."
"I have limitless stamina. I can keep on fighting forever, but you see you, you will soon get tired which will leave you vulnerable to me." Ozzie grind.
Lyon couldn't help but smirk himself. The wound around his lungs has already healed up.
"I see... You have limitless stamina... Then that means I have to kill you before I get tired," Lyon said.
Immediately, Ozzie opened his mouth and a stream of explosive spit just like that of Titans started to rush out like a tap.
On the other have, Lyon used his fire breath and the two collided.
At first, the two were even as they maintained the same perimeter. Eventually, the two broke off from the side. Ozzie spit went and hit Lyon's chest, while Lyon hit Ozzie's arm.
The two were sent flying back by the explosion as they struggled to hold themselves back up.

Sin and Peter have been told to find the matrix and the two were just doing that. Peter was carrying Sin on his back while the two rush into the enemy's territory.
However, no matter how fast Peter was moving, those that were captured somehow were able to spot him, even though they couldn't stop him, they could at least report back to in form their boss.
"Ahhhh...!" Mia shouted as he grabbed his hair.
"Shouldn't they have waited a little bit more, we still have a lot to prepare. And weren't they meant to wait for us to come for them instead?" he said while grabbing his hair and tugging seriously on it.
"Hey...take it easy... Although the other beast guy is fighting Ozzie, that doesn't mean he will win, sooner or later, he will be defeated and Ozzie will eventually come over to us," Kai said to cheer Mia up.
"What do you mean... We can't even keep up with their battle," Mia replied.
Just then, a report came to them with a photo of two people. "Is that Nate?" Red asked.
"Not it's his brother," Mia replied. It was then he noticed that Kai's body was trembling as his leg wiggled and clapped against each other.
"S..i..n" he managed to mutter in a shaking tone.
By now, Mia has also noticed the redhead figure behind Peter. "He is working together with them... But how, I thought he was an independent human. How!" Mia's temper also changed.
"What are you guys doing?" Red snapped out. "I can't believe we have such a force like Ozzie and the one he calls Lye on our side, yet you guys are still afraid of Sin. Let's just send out some distractions to the and hope Lye is done with creating a hive mind with the beasts.
Meanwhile, Peter and Sin finally could be approaching the field where the rift have opened. However, before the two could come any further.
They were surrounded by zombies with daggers.
"Really... I am sure you guys are seeing me, but did you choose to stop us... Stop me with a bunch of zombies with daggers?" Peter questioned.
He was sure the matrix was seeing him through their captive eye.
However, no response came from the zombie other than it attacking them immediately. Lyon didn't even move an inch away from his position. Instead, he swung his claws across the zombies and sliced off their heads.
Meanwhile, Sin had done the same to the zombies that attacked him.
"They are trying to buy themselves time, we have to ignore whatever they send to us," Sin said.
"Yeah..yeah... I know, let's get out of here," Peter said.
Sin hopped on to his back and the two dashed off further towards the rift.
However, on reaching there, there was no matrix around, nor was there any zombie...
"We have to follow those beasts, they surely know something," Peter suggested as the two followed the beasts that were heading towards the mountains on the island.
Strangely, the beast was not bothering them, rather, it was more inclined to reach towards a particular destination...
Not long though, Peter could smell something. It smelt so sweet and alluring to him. However, before he could fall into the delusion. something happened to him.
[Bloodline has been activated]
Peter suddenly found himself on the track of a beast horde that was walking towards the direction of the mountains.
Turning back, he couldn't see Sin, rather, all he could were beasts. Not long though, Sin was seen running out from the forests.
"What are you doing ...why did you just go blank just now?" he asked confused.
Peter looked at himself and then at Sin. "We have to warn the others about this. The colonizer's power can also affect up," Peter said as he explained to Sin what he felt.
"Then how did you break free? Maybe they could also do the same?" Sin asked.
Peter shook his head in disagreement. He knows the reason he was able to break free from the delusions was because of his bloodline power, but others didn't have such power.
If they were to come towards them, Peter feared that they might lose a lot of people walking for them.
Just as they were thinking about this, a shadow started to raise from the mountains. It was a large figure with muscles and black fluid covering his body.
"That is the colonizer... It's already too late for them," Peter muttered.
