Turning back time a little, on the battlefield of the god tamers and the Zodiacs, a fierce exchange was ongoing.
Ajax, Blanc, and Vermeil fought against the eight hooded figures of the Zodiac and were almost on par with each other. It wasn't that the Zodiacs could match the god tamers in power, but rather, their teamwork was impeccable.
Each time they got attacked, the one who had the perfect counter for the attack stepped forward and neutralized it, rendering almost all attacks aimed at them ineffective.
The only attacks that could hit them were physical ones; however, only Ajax was able to do that. And that Ajax was currently being healed by Blanc for god knows how many times already.
"This sh*t ain't getting us anywhere!"
Ajax cursed as he looked over Vermeil, sending wave after wave of wide-area attacks, only to get erased by someone from the group of eight.
"If only we could pick them off one at a time."
