Chapter 14 - Seven clowns circus (part 3)

The battle rages on between Badr and the Harlequin of Despair.

Badr: "Oh no, he's jumping everywhere!"

Harlequin of Despair: "Come on, let me hit you!"

Badr: "The fight has dragged on too long; let's ascend to the next level now! 'Black Fog.'"

Harlequin of Despair: "It's so dark here."

Badr emerged from behind him, and the Harlequin swung his axe, but Badr vanished and appeared again on his left. Every time the Harlequin struck at a copy of Badr, it disappeared.

Harlequin of Despair: "How long are you going to play with me?"

Badr emerged from his left side, holding his sword to deliver a quick strike.

Harlequin of Despair: "You can't fool me by being on the other side!"

As the Harlequin spun around behind Badr, he hit him quickly.

Harlequin of Despair: "Hah? It was a copy!"

The copy vanished like a mirage, and Badr's first copy struck the Harlequin powerfully from behind, causing blood to spill from his back, and he fell face-first to the ground...

Osama was still choking, trying to strike the whip with his sword, but he couldn't; every time he waved his sword, the Harlequin of Cruelty pulled him back until he lost his balance.

Osama: "My vision is fading due to the lack of oxygen. I need to drop the sword and place my fingers inside the whip; I need a bit of air."

Osama threw down his sword and tried to place his fingers, but it was useless. His eyes began to roll back, and he was gradually losing consciousness!!

Harlequin of Cruelty: "Have you learned how to submit now?"

"The sound of the whip snapping."

Osama (coughing hard): "Huff... That was a close call."

He raised his eyes slightly and saw Ahmed standing in front of him, holding his sword.

Ahmed, turning to Osama: "Are you okay?"

Osama: "I need a moment to catch my breath; be careful! I haven't seen anything of his skills yet."

Ahmed: "Fall back a little so we can regroup."

Ahmed gathered his aura into his legs and took off, and in the blink of an eye, he was in front of the Harlequin of Cruelty. When he reached him, he channeled all his aura into his hands to deliver a quick strike.

Harlequin of Cruelty: "Awaken the beast, 'The Cruel Harlequin.'"

As Ahmed's sword approached the Cruelty's neck, he felt danger and shifted the sword's path to strike the ground, jumping to the side quickly.

Ahmed: "Awakening again, why hasn't anyone explained to us what it is?"

Osama: "Ahmed, watch out! He's unleashing his special skill!!"

The Harlequin of Cruelty came in front of Ahmed, wielding the whip, raised it high into the air, and brought it down as fast as he could on Ahmed.

Ahmed: "Too fast!!"

Ahmed swung his sword from the side to cut the whip, but it was useless. Ahmed's sword could not slice through the whip and came down hard, diverting the sword's path and striking Ahmed's chest at an angle, knocking him to the ground.

Adel (hanging in the air): "What's this bird! I hit it over and over with all my strength, and it didn't even scratch its leg. My injuries are severe; if only I were balanced."

Suddenly, the green bird opened its legs, and Adel fell from the sky.

Adel: "Wait, I can't fly!!"

Adel fell from the height, and the dust filled the area due to the impact.

Crowd shouts: "This isn't fun; we want a better fight."

"And they began throwing debris amidst the dust."

Adel woke up amidst the dust: "Silence, fools! I'll show you what fighting means now, 'Red Dragon, Fiery Flame.'"

(A third-tier skill that allows Adel to convert all of his aura into a powerful red aura that burns everything, increasing his strength, endurance, and speed. It's like blue flames; they are two sides of the same coin.)

The red aura began to overflow everywhere, and the dust was blown away!!

Ziyad, Fakhr, and Badr all felt Adel's aura.

Badr (whistling): "You've awakened the sleeping beast. Wait! I sense a powerful beast's strength from that direction; I must go."

Osama took his sword again, reinforcing the dragon scales once more, while Ahmed lay behind him on the ground. Osama had no choice but to face the whips of the Harlequin of Cruelty.

Osama (placing his hands on the grip and blade of his sword): "How can his whips be this fast? I can barely fend off some of them, and even with my body reinforced, a single blow is painful and shakes my body."

Badr was rushing from afar.

Badr (shouting): "Osama, are you okay?? I can't step into this hail of attacks!"

Osama: "Don't worry about me; give Ahmed a bit of dragon energy until he wakes up; I'll buy you time!"

During Fakhr's battle:

Fakhr: "Don't your knives run out???"

The knives were being thrown in abundance, and Fakhr was still parrying them with his ice blade, countering the attack.

Fakhr: "Have you lost your voice? Why aren't you speaking?"

Fakhr (talking to himself): "I'm worried. If they can use the beast awakening, all four of them will be in danger. My strength is still equal to the Harlequin of Pride, but I cannot withstand two of them. I can also feel a strong beast aura, and both Ziyad and Adel are emanating strong auras too. I think too much, but the battle has become chaotic. Where will it lead?"

Ziyad: "Hey, muscle guy, give me a break; you're moving so fast that you're making me exert a lot of effort."

Harlequin of Joy: "Everything I do and you're still not listening?"

Ziyad (thinking): "Any strike from his fist is meaningless! I have to avoid his fist and reach his body somehow, 'Blood Manipulation.'"

Harlequin of Joy: "Hahaha, you're running towards me and getting faster, but you won't be able to keep up with me!"

Ziyad ran at breakneck speed, and when he reached the harlequin, he was completely exposed without any defense. Ziyad aimed to cut him, but the harlequin turned.

Harlequin of Joy: "You've fallen into my trap!!"

The Harlequin of Joy struck the ground powerfully, scattering rocks everywhere. Since Ziyad was running towards him at high speed, he couldn't dodge the attack. Ziyad was launched high into the air, and the Harlequin of Joy jumped, grabbing Ziyad with his fist.

Harlequin of Joy: "You know, my friends call me the monkey fist. Do you know why?"

Ziyad: "Blood Whips!!"

Ziyad tried to unleash the Blood Whips while inside the grip of Joy, but it was useless. His hand was too solid, and the whips dissipated into his arm.

Harlequin of Joy: "I'll show you why!!"

With great force, the Harlequin of Joy threw Ziyad down to the ground, and he came crashing down at full speed, landing on Ziyad's stomach!...

Osama: "Hurry up, Badr, I can't take it anymore!!"

Suddenly, the whips stopped from the Harlequin of Cruelty, and Osama found he could not see the Harlequin.

Osama: "Where did he go? What speed is this!! Huh???? Badr, watch out! He's behind you!!"

He raised his whip high into the air and brought it down with force while Badr treated Ahmed.

Osama: "This is unbelievable! My job is to protect my friends!"

Osama gathered all the dragon energy in his leg, jumped quickly, and when he reached Badr's side, he held the sword with both hands, twisting rapidly in the air and parrying the whip alongside his sword. His parry was like a baseball player hitting a ball high into the air.

Osama: "My sword is high in the air, and so is his whip. His defense is open; I must seize the opportunity, 'Dragon Spiral.'"

When Osama's sword was high in the air, he gripped the sword again and whipped it down, spinning it upwards, striking the Cruelty's abdomen.

Osama: "Huh?? He didn't move an inch??"

Harlequin of Cruelty: "Do you know that the whip exceeds the speed of sound?"

Osama looked up into the air, and he saw the Harlequin of Cruelty gripping his whip tightly, bringing it down with insane speed, striking Osama on the back with immense force....

Adel: "I can match the Harlequin of Wrath, but where did that bird disappear to??"

The Harlequin of Wrath came from afar, holding colored balls, started spinning and playing with them circularly in the air, and suddenly flames ignited within them.

Harlequin of Wrath: "You didn't die! Didn't die??? I'll show you now who did you call fat?; here come the nine balls!!"

While spinning the balls, the harlequin started firing one of the balls randomly and with incredible speed, but Adel easily countered them.

Adel: "I'm tired now diiiiie!!"

Adel surged forth with that red aura, and the Harlequin of Wrath had no chance to keep up with him. When Adel reached him, he swung his sword, and the Harlequin of Wrath defended himself, but Adel continued his attack by hitting his abdomen with his knee. When the Harlequin lowered his head from the hit, Adel delivered a powerful kick to the left and, while the harlequin was soaring to the left...

Adel: "Pure Flame."

(This is a skill to unleash an aura, but it's not ordinary like other troops; it's incredibly powerful and difficult to fend off or cut through).

Adel's aura surged towards the Harlequin of Wrath and split him in half.

Adel: "Now it's that bird's turn!!"
