As Tela lay collapsed on the floor, vulnerable to the looming threat of the Qilin, Jimmy intervened at a critical moment. Bursting forth from the storage ring with impeccable timing, Jimmy lunged at the Qilin, sinking his teeth into its throat with ferocity. The Qilin, now severely wounded and bleeding, was swiftly returned to Daniel's storage ring.
With the immediate danger neutralized, Jimmy let loose a formidable dragon roar that echoed through the arena. Surprisingly, moments after Jimmy's roar subsided, the water sphere containing JacQuarius and Kiyomi collapsed. JacQuarius, puzzled by this sudden turn of events, redirected his focus toward seizing the opportunity to turn the tide of battle.
Free from the confines of the water sphere, JacQuarius mobilized with renewed determination, seeking to exploit the shifting dynamics of the battlefield. As confusion lingered over the artifact's mysterious behavior, JacQuarius harnessed his resolve, ready to confront the Holy Knight and its formidable adversaries.
The arena brimmed with tension as the battle resumed. Amidst the chaos and uncertainty, JacQuarius remained steadfast in his pursuit of victory, determined to overcome the daunting odds and reclaim control of the battlefield.
"I see how you coming Daniel, like a straight bitch! You Coming Like Debo nigga, and guess what? I'm Craig!"
JacQuarius then started his transformation, he was furious so he had the perfect transformation for his anger!
Tenfold Draconic Style: Malevolent Wyvern!
JacQuarius flew into the air letting out a powerful roar! Jimmy then followed right behind him letting out his powerful roar as well!
They broke the terrain skill!
JacQuarius then transmitted a message to Kiyomi.
Dual Terrain Skill: Dragon Sanctuary!
The Holy knight shrunk! It went from as tall as 30 stories down to 3 stories, the same size as JacQuarius's Malevolent Wyvern transformation!
Then Kiyomi activated her own skill!
Qi Style: Celestial Dragon's Cloak!
As JacQuarius and Jimmy, now adorned in white Qi armor, launched a coordinated assault on the Holy Knight, their combined strength proved overwhelming. The massive knight, burdened by its bulky armor, struggled to keep pace with the agile and precise movements of the dragons.
With swift slashes and powerful attacks, JacQuarius and Jimmy targeted the vulnerable points in the Holy Knight's armor, aiming to dismantle its defenses piece by piece.
Meanwhile, Kiyomi deployed her skills with precision, trapping Ian's Soul Uzi within a Qi cage and exerting pressure to shatter the weapon. Ian, recognizing the perilous situation, activated an artifact to bolster his Soul-style abilities. Despite this enhancement, he remained at a disadvantage against Kiyomi's tactical advantage.
As Kiyomi intensified her efforts to crush Ian's Soul Uzi, he made a crucial observation. In a calculated move, Ian allowed his Soul Uzi to be shattered, absorbing the ensuing backlash and conserving his Soul Qi reserves for a decisive countermeasure.
Amidst the escalating confrontation, Daniel intervened by activating a skill, heralding a potential shift in the battle's momentum.
Holy Style: Divine Intervention!
A radiant white light emanated from the heavens, enveloping Kiyomi in its ethereal glow, prompting a heavy sigh of fear to escape her lips.
Reacting swiftly, JacQuarius took flight and positioned himself over Kiyomi, encircling her with his protective wings in a defensive stance. Despite the looming danger, Kiyomi remained rooted in place, a necessity due to the peculiar constraint of their dual terrain skill that required her to maintain stillness for its activation.
In the blink of an eye, a brilliant beam of light descended from above, striking JacQuarius with a forceful impact that reverberated through the air. The intensity of the attack caught them off guard, yet the true extent of the threat remained concealed.
Holy Style: Valor Gash!
As the blinding light faded, a devastating sword strike from Wyrmcleaver sliced into JacQuarius's back, exacerbating his injuries and abruptly ending his transformation. Overwhelmed by pain and fatigue, JacQuarius teetered on the brink of unconsciousness, his body succumbing to the severity of the wound.
He laid there next to Kiyomi, bleeding out from his back, this back wound was much worse than his previous one due to the attack coming from Wyrmcleaver!
"Kiyomi, hold them niggas for like 5 minutes while I recover," JacQuarius said before passing out. Holy Style attacks dealt additional damage to him, due to that style being an actual sort of semi-super style. Daniel created Holy style by fusing Wyrmcleaver's style with Order Style, creating his own Holy Style! That is a clear sign of how much he wants JacQuarius dead.
Summoning her resolve, Kiyomi nodded in agreement as JacQuarius instructed her to stall their adversaries for five crucial minutes. Determined to buy time for JacQuarius's recovery, Kiyomi retrieved a staff from her storage ring and drove it into the ground with purpose.
God Rank Artifact: Primordial Staff!
The Staff formed a barrier around JacQuarius, who was presently unconscious.
Kiyomi then walked forward, she moved for the first time! She activated two more of her artifacts, showing signs that she was about to enter Battle!
Advanced Rank Artifact: Harmony Stone!
Advanced Rank Artifact: Holy Empress Attire!
With a surge of determination and resolve, Kiyomi entered the fray enveloped in a radiant Holy aura, her purple hair flowing like a battle empress poised for combat. The aura surrounding her exuded an air of divine power and steadfast determination, enhancing her presence on the battlefield.
"Jimmy come here, let's finish them!" Kiyomi said.
She then got on top of Jimmy and flew towards them.
"Hold them off Jimmy, while I prepare my attack," Kiyomi commanded.
Jimmy flew forward slashing and dashing at the Holy Knight's armor, while dodging the various slashes it returned. Despite the enhancement from the terrain, Jimmy's attacks did minimal damage to the Holy Knight, but now it was time!
Qi Style: Cosmic Devastation!
A massive meteor of turquoise Qi hurtled down from the sky with astonishing speed, targeting the Holy Knight with unstoppable force. Despite attempts to evade the incoming assault, the Holy Knight was unable to escape in time, and Ian's efforts to retreat proved futile.
The impact of the meteor triggered a colossal explosion, engulfing the battlefield in smoke and debris. Kiyomi, riding atop Jimmy, struggled to maintain her balance amidst the chaos. The sheer intensity of the attack drained the last of her Qi reserves, leaving her on the brink of exhaustion.
As the dust settled, a sudden slash cut through the haze, knocking Jimmy out of the sky and sending Kiyomi tumbling to the ground. Mentally and physically taxed, Kiyomi nearly succumbed to fatigue as Daniel, bearing the remnants of his shattered armor, approached with a menacing demeanor.
Daniel then put the sword to Kiyomi's neck before saying," Looks Like I'm The Winner!"
Daniel raised his sword menacingly, preparing to strike a final blow, when suddenly someone caught his blade! A powerful punch sent Daniel hurtling through the air!
"Kiyomi, you, Jimmy, and Tela all did well. It's time for me to stop fucking around, and go all out. Leave the rest to me." JacQuarius said. He had finally recovered!
How? He had strategically concealed himself within the Staff's barrier, biding his time to recover so he can return to turn the tides!
