On the west part of Kortopia, it seems Nora and Zeonyl struggle at the speed of the mask figure. The mask man just keep on running around insanely fast circulating Zeonyl, while Nora still fly in the sky.
Nora eyes can't keep up with the mask man speed, so she hesitates to use any magic or spell at the moment. But it seems the mask man circling Zeonyl for a reason, as his armor slowly but surely disappear. As chunks of it fall down from some sort of cut or slash that Zeonyl himself couldn't see.
Zeonyl looking around trying to find an opportunity to strike back, but his eyes couldn't keep up with the mask man speed. Nora tries to came up with an idea to help Zeonyl for a view second, as she creates a big green magic circle below Zeonyl. She change some of the rune on the magic circle as she prepare herself to cast it.
[Tier 3 Wind Magic : Reverse Typhoon Cage]
As a burst of wind appear surrounding Zeonyl, the wind seems to circulate onto Zeonyl. But Zeonyl doesn't seem to be affected by it, rather on the outside the mask man stop attacking and stood still. As everyone can see the mask man clothes all torn up and slashed mark can be seen everywhere around his body.
"... I see..." Rowan said calmly as he puts his hand on his face.
"Very smart indeed... Creating a cage that effect the outside rather than the inside... No wonder people called you 'The Genius Noxeria'... Truly befitting of such nickname..." Rowan said as he point his blade to Nora.
"Fine... I'll deal with you first..." Rowan said calmly as in a blink of an eye, he appear right in front of Nora.
Before Nora could do anything, her left shoulder is already slashed. Blood spurt out from her left shoulder as it seems the slash is very deep. As Rowan about to swing his sword once again to kill Nora, a shadow appear behind him. Before Rowan could turn around entirely, a big impact hit him and made him launch to the ground creating a crater on the ground.
Nora lose control over her magic and start to fall from the air, but someone catch her before she hit the ground. It seems Zeonyl is the one that strike Rowan and catch Nora before she fell in just a view second.
On the easy mountain of Kortopia, Solean is still sitting on the ground, meditating. It seems even from afar, Solean could feel the ether of Zeonyl and Nora fighting Rowan.
"Hmmm... So that kid is fighting Zeo and Nora...
"Well best of luck to him, Hahaha!" Solean said as he laugh and shed a tear from the laughter.
"That kid is fighting a genius witch and an ex-captain from Extorsia Kingdom... A genius witch that can change her spell and create a new way to use it in just a view second... And an Ex-Captain from Extorsia Kingdom who has went into battle countless of times." Solean said as he sigh off in relieve.
"I Hope that kid is alright.. If he were to only fight Nora, I'm pretty sure he will win... But if he were to fight Zeo... There's no such thing as a slight of chance on winning. Especially now he is fighting both." Solean said calmly as he smiles.
"Zeonyl... That guy... He is much stronger than me when it comes into battle..."
Back to the west, the giant crater made by Zeonyl is making a lot of smoke. As a shadow can be seen start to stand up and get out of the crater. With his mask cracked on a view places, a blood can be seen dripping out from his clothes.
"Heh... So this is the power of... Vice-Guild Master of Phoenix Guild... Amazing! Truly Amazing!" Rowan said calmly as he laugh loudly like a maniac.
Rowan takes a stance, almost look like he is trying to prepare a very powerful thrust with his shortsword. A dark green magic circle appear below Rowan.
[Tier 3 Razor Magic : Absolute Pierce]
"This spell... It will pierce anything, even the toughest material in this world, Apuntherl..." Rowan said happily, as he relaxed all his muscle to prepare a strong spell.
Zeonyl thrust his blade onto the ground, he let go of his blade and move forward. As Zeonyl also take a stance, but it seems this stance is for taking Rowan spell. Rowan face is shock for a moment, but inside that mask he is smiling looking at Zeonyl bravery.
"Then strike me with all your might!" Zeonyl said confidently, as he focus all of his earthy armor to in front of him as it take shape of a mighty gigantic shield.
"... Then I shall kill you... Almighty warrior..." Rowan said happily.
As a booming sound can be heard from Rowan. Everyone is focused on Rowan, but after the magic circle disappear. For a split moment, everyone see 2 Rowan, one is standing still preparing to thrust and the other is already in front of the shield.
A burst of intense wind hit everyone face, as all they could hear is just a cracking noise and some sort of liquid pour out. After the burst of wind, everyone could see clearly. The cracking noise came from the gigantic earth shield that has been pierce through. And what made everyone shock and drop their jaw is that Zeonyl is already got stabbed by Rowan right in his stomach. A blood gush out from Zeonyl mouth and stomach as the sword pierce through him all the way.
Zeonyl just smile at Rowan, as he grab Rowan by his collar and headbutt him right in his face. The mask is smashed into pieces as a dark ether released out from the mask. Everyone could see Rowan face, as he has a baby face, complemented by a pitch black eyes. With a long black hair with a stripe of white is on his bangs.
"You... Bastard..." Rowan said with anger as he release himself from Zeonyl grasp and take out his sword from Zeonyl stomach.
Even more blood gush out from Zeonyl stomach and mouth, but he seems unfazed by it and just keep staring at Rowan. Rowan back off a view steps as he takes a stance once again. A dark green magic circle appear on the ground below Rowan.
[Tier 1 Razor Magic : Razor Sharp]
As everytime Rowan slashes, a dark wind appear in a form of a slash launching toward Zeonyl. Zeonyl just stood still as he clench his fist, he close his eyes. A burst of wind appear right in front of Zeonyl as all the slashes coming toward him all parried away from him. Zeonyl open his eyes as he just smile and look at Nora who seems to concentrate on a spell.
"It's my turn now..." Nora said happily as she smiles at Rowan.
As the south also doesn't seems to hold up well, an intense amount of mud gushing out from Madnel. The mud keep on gushing out from Madnel body as the mud seems to spread more and more, covering the whole area. Noir and Polpo tries to step away from the mud, but Polpo legs got touch by the mud and it's like the mud is sentient and tries to eat Polpo.
"WAHHH!!!" Polpo scream as he try to use his gauntle to scrape off the mud that's slowly advancing toward his body.
"POLPO!!" Noir scream as he keep backing off from the mud.
"WAHAHAH DON'T YOU SEE?! THIS IS THE POWER OF THE ALL-EYES CULT!" Madnel shout loudly, as the rune from magic circle is all over his body, glowing.
"What is that... Right after the magic circle below is disappear... That mad guy starts to glow with runes..." Noir said inside his mind.
[Tier 3 Mud Magic : Gluttony Swamp]
The mud keep on spreading trying to eat both Noir and Polpo alive. As Noir ignite his sword with a spell and once again use the wind magic that dashes him forward quickly. In a split second Noir dash toward Polpo and tries to grab his hand. But before Noir hand reach Polpo a mud ball his Noir on the back of his head.
[Tier 1 Mud Magic : Mud Bullet]
"HAH! You think that trick work for the 2nd time?! THINK AGAIN KID!" Madnel said with madness in his eyes, as he laugh and laugh more like a genocidal killer.
Noir lose his balance in the air and proceed to hit a tree with his back. Some blood spurt out from the back of Noir head, as his vision start to go fuzzy. Polpo seeing all of this tries to scrape off the mud and goes to Noir.
"IT'S UTERLY USELESS KID, YOU ARE ALL DESTINED TO DIE! TODAY! WAHAHAH!"
In the sky a figure can be seen jumping off the tip of a tree to another tree. As a shine off light can be seen from what looks like their sword.
"You can't just stay still can't you... Noir.." Sheila said as she jump high to the sky...
