The beings looked at the people gathered around for a while as the people also looked at them. The cloaked being pulled out it's scythe and flew in getting it's path blocked by Kage.
Jason created multiple blood orbs in the sky on top of the bloody flesh as he made it rain down in the form of small blood beams. The flesh lifted its left arm and all the beams stopped right before they hit it and then redirected the beams at Jason who made more blood beams rain down to cancel the ones coming at him.
Alsvid went over to try and help Kage but was attacked by the four limbed creature who dragged him back and slammed him into the monolith. The creature then threw him away in a random direction. As he flew he managed to target and fired an essence burst at the being but it just lifted an arm and absorbed all the essence. Then it fired off its very own essence burst which Alsvid's shield blocked at the cost of a lot of essence.
Yoruichi didn't know what to do since everything had just descended into chaos. She decided to help one of her friends. First she tried to go help Jason and ended up being saved by Jason who told her to step back because if she was injured her blood would be harvested and she would die. Helping Alsvid was not an option either considering the high profile skill he kept using. So she decided to go help Kage. She managed to get to the battle zone for Kage but as soon as she took a step too close she blinked and saw a shadow sword stopping a shadow scythe from decapitating her. She was not needed in any fight.
Jason and the bleeding flesh just kept exchanging blood attacks until Jason got cut by the side of his left arm. He quickly tried to retreat but the flesh sent a blood tornado after him which had enough force to start drawing blood from his small open wound. The wound slowly expanded as the tornado got closer which forced Jason to do something drastic. Gathering a bit of blood essence he fired his own red version of essence burst which dispersed the tornado but he lost control of his left arm due to blood loss.
Alsvid had a worse time dealing with his creature as the only thing he could do that seemed effective were essence bursts. He literally had no other powerful skills to battle the creature and his essence bursts were bearly effective as is. It was this battle that made him realize that no matter how much experience he has on essence control it was useless when he didn't have the skills to apply his knowledge to. With this revelation however he was forced to buy as much time as possible with his essence bursts so kage can help them deal with the others.
Kage was not having fun. He was having an impossibly hard time with hard time with what seemed to be a creature that had his specialty. This was the first time in his apparitional life that he couldn't control a shadow. What's more he was actively losing essence from summoning subsequent shadows due to the cloak being able to sever his connection to his shadows and then use them against him. The only thing that survived for long in his control was his shadow sword which he called shade sever blade.
These unknown beings that appeared causing so much trouble had a motive which was why the group wasn't dead. Their main goal wasn't to kill anyone. Their main objective for being here was to capture Kage and his students. They were easily powerful enough to kill every last one of them and it wasn't even close. The three ravagers were just playing around. They just wanted to see when their targets would break. Unlike all other beings Adam had summoned these fifteen beings were the most powerful. They were so powerful and developed that they even had sentience. They could take decisions for themselves and we're quite good thinkers.
A month ago. Adam had summoned these three ravagers after he assigned the first twelve to an important task.
"Shadow reaper, Nyxarios, Belfyre. I have a special assignment for you three. A friend of mine has kidnapped a student of mine. He also has another high potential person with him and am sure he's going to train him. Bring the three of them to me alive. You're the best ravagers for this job." Kage said the the three beings behind him.
The empty cloak, shadow reaper
The unidentified four limbed creature of darkness, Nyxarios
The grotesque pile of bloody flesh, Belfyre.
These were not the true forms of the ravagers but as of this moment, they didn't have the essence required to bring out their true forms. All they could do was slowly evolve as they gathered more essence in this new world.
The group was out of cards to play. Jason lad lost control of both arms due to blood loss. That was the downside of his apparition. The longer he used high profile attacks the more tasking it is on the body. There was never really a prospect of essence for Jason. While others can run out of essence and be fine him running out of essence meant death. Because of that he stopped using his apparition after a certain point in a battle for fear of major harm to his body. By that time the enemy would be dead or too injured to go on.
Alsvid had used up almost seventy percent of his essence and was still grasping at straws with the hope that Kage would finish up soon.
Yoruichi was in perfect condition but too useless to do absolutely anything when things got ugly.
Kage, he had it the worst. He had more than fifty percent of his essence remaining but had lost all stored and captured essence. He had lost his snake, his dragons and all his gremlins and tentacles. He was severely damaged and bleeding from virtually every part of his body. If one looked beneath him they would see that he no longer possessed a shadow and was quite possibly on his last leg.
This was not looking good for the group.
