Despite being in a 2v3 situation, with the odds heavily stacked against them, JacQuarius and Kiyomi felt no fear!
Neither side had fear, because both had trump cards.
"Kiyomi stay back and support me, I got a plan."
Kiyomi followed his instructions, walking behind him.
He then immediately activated two artifacts!
Intermediate Rank Artifact: Dragon Armor!
Intermediate Rank Artifact: Dragon Heartstone!
As JacQuarius stood amidst the swirling mists of a netherite terrain, in an awe-inspiring display, the dragonlike armor materialized around JacQuarius.
Gleaming scales adorned his chest, shimmering in hues of emerald and gold, while sturdy gauntlets and greaves encased his limbs with the resilience of ancient dragons.
At the center of the breastplate, the Dragon Heartstone nestled, its radiant glow infusing the armor with immense Dragon Qi.
With every movement, the armor whispered tales of forgotten battles and the indomitable spirit of Dragons.
As JacQuarius stood transformed, he felt the weight of destiny upon his shoulders, ready to face whatever challenges lay ahead with the strength of a dragon's heart pulsing at his core.
He then pulled out a necklace and put it on.
Advanced Rank Artifact: Dragon Eye Amulet!
The Tanaka Elders received his message quite clearly, this is going to be a life-or-death battle!
They began to discuss strategies among themselves.
"Great Thinking, 1st Elder!"
2nd and 3rd Elder charged at JacQuarius!
1st Elder remained behind to observe the situation.
All types of various blows were being exchanged as Kiyomi and 1st Elder observed the situation!
"Hmph!"
Hearing that, 2nd and 3rd Elder began fighting with intense offense!
They stopped defending and only focused on attacking JacQuarius!
JacQuarius transmitted a message to Kiyomi.
"Now!"
Fire Style: Pyro Strike!
Ice Style: FrostHeart Jab!
2nd Elder came with the Fire fist, and 3rd Elder came with the Ice fist!
JacQuarius retreated backward toward Kiyomi, dodging both their elemental blows.
But then!
Storm Style: Thunderous Fist of the Stormcaller!
1st Elder appeared behind Kiyomi with a monstrous blow!
JacQuarius activated his movement skill, appearing instantly in front of Kiyomi's back!
But it was too late, JacQuarius took the full brunt of the attack flying into Kiyomi, and sending them both meters back.
JacQuarius transmitted another message to Kiyomi, but she just laid there behind him, appearing unconscious!
The Elders activated their own artifacts, before charging at him with more elemental fists.
They were trying to kill him before the remaining 4 minutes ran out!
JacQuarius started running, he was dodging their blows while retreating but there were too many.
It was a 3 on 1 situation, he was seriously getting fucked up!
JacQuarius then activated his movement skill, flying forward with his wings, escaping their onslaught.
Then activated His Transformation!
He chose the Tenfold Dragon, and after revealing their cultivation styles, he knew his victory was set in stone!
2 Minutes Remaining!
JacQuarius began firing elemental blasts at each Elder holding them back!
Fire blasts at 3rd Elder, countering 3rd Elder's cultivation style!
Water Blasts at 2nd Elder, countering his cultivation style as well.
Finally, rock blasts at 1st Elder, blocking his lightning strikes!
JacQuarius knew Tenfold Dragon gave him the sole advantage because of its extraordinary power.
TenFold Dragon is a Sacred Rank Heaven Animal with its extraordinary power being that it could use the power of 10 elements!
Fire, Ice, Wind, Water, Earth, Lightning, Light, Dark, Spirit, and Dragon!
3rd Elder Dodged them.
1st Elder dodged as well.
But 2nd Elder kneeled to the floor, suddenly being exhausted. He had no energy to dodge the blasts!
3rd Elder came in time, freezing the water blasts!
JacQuarius took note of the situation, realizing 2nd Elder's huge flaw!
"NOW!"
JacQuarius yelled and charged at 1st and 3rd Elder, slashing at both of them, keeping them occupied.
Kiyomi immediately woke!
Qi Style: Qi Pulse!
A white stream of light flew from Kiyomi's fingertips directly at 2nd Elder!
It hit him directly in his heart, killing him right on the spot, and breaking the terrain!
The situation played right into JacQuarius's plan.
His original plan was for Kiyomi to stay back and break the terrain, but 1st Elder saw through it immediately and disrupted it!
So he told Kiyomi to fake being unconscious and wait for an opening to kill one of the elders.
After killing 1 of the elders, he planned to release his ultimate attack and kill another Elder, then teaming up with Kiyomi to finish the last one off!
But he never would have guessed this!
The terrain skill was heavily taxing 2nd Elder's Fire Qi, then with his consecutive attacks, he consumed all his Heaven Qi, causing him to hinder from exhaustion!
JacQuarius saw it and immediately recognized what had happened, taking full advantage of the situation!
The terrain was a blessing and a curse, it had their opponent right where they wanted him but they had to fight fast and use up their Heaven Qi quickly before the self-detonation!
He then charged at the 1st and 3rd Elder, so he could hold them back, while Kiyomi finished 2nd Elder off, they had completely ignored her 'unconscious' presence, being played right from the start.
With the terrain skill gone, and 2nd Elder dead, It was time for JacQuarius to take over the situation.
Dual Terrain Skill: Dragon Sanctuary!
JacQuarius and Kiyomi activated their newly created dual terrain skill!
As they focused their collective will, a ripple of energy spread outward, weaving through the very fabric of the casino floor.
In an instant, the vibrant lights of the casino dimmed, replaced by an ethereal glow that bathed the surroundings in an otherworldly ambiance.
The sleek slot machines and card tables began to shift and morph, giving way to lush vegetation and winding pathways.
Where once stood rows of gaming tables now rose majestic stone pillars adorned with intricate carvings, while streams of crystal-clear water meandered between them.
The once familiar floor transformed into a sanctuary fit for mythical beasts.
Though no dragons graced the scene, the spirit of these majestic creatures seemed to linger in the very air, their presence felt in the pulsating Dragon Qi that now permeated the space!
JacQuarius ended his transformation, turning back human, preparing to unleash his new fighting style!
JacQuarius calmly walked back to Kiyomi, he felt no fear even though 1st and 3rd Elder were constantly attacking him!
He just walked back while laughing with no care in the world!
Kiyomi blocked each of their attacks with barriers, showing the monstrous power of the terrain skill!
But this is just the start.
"Kiyomi hold them off for a minute, I'm about to finish them off!"
1st and 3rd Elder listened closely to his words, but felt no deception from them!
They immediately got the chills, JacQuarius had the situation stabilized with his dragon transformation.
Deactivating the transformation, gave them the sole advantage, so what did he have that could change the tide of the battle?
Qi Style: Soul Snare!
Cages of white light trapped both, 1st and 3rd Elder!
JacQuarius then began focusing his Dragon Qi, putting all his attention into activating this skill!
TenFold Draconic Style: Wyrm Manifestation!
2 Wyrm Spirits appeared!
1st and 3rd and Elder looked at each other in confusion, they both had the same thought in mind.
"This is the skill that he expects to defeat us with?"
They both nearly busted out in laughter, despite being trapped in the cage.
JacQuarius then expended A LOT of his Dragon Qi, causing the wyrms to evolve!
They grew from wyrms to full-grown wyverns!
JacQuarius now stand between two huge Wyvern spirits!
The Elders now had some fear, they immediately broke out of the cages!
But it was too late!
Huuurrrr!
Advanced Rank Artifact: Sacred Roar!
A horn let out a resounding "Huuurrrr!" as its deep, echoing note reverberated through the air, carrying a sense of urgency and command with its brassy resonance.
The two Wyvern spirits materialized, becoming actual Wyverns!
