They were planning to return to their countries 2 days after the raid. But the National Level Hunters cancel that plan because of the shocking secrets that they heard and witnessed.
Jin Woo reveals the big plan to save the Earth to them because it will need their cooperation. He also needs to hear their opinions on this plan because maybe they will have some good ideas and they are.
The National Level Hunters give some good ideas to improve the plan. They also find some flaws in the plan, especially when it involves other Hunters and Nations.
Neither Jin Woo or Indra are experts in politics and human relations. So their plans that involve others have quite a lot of problems. But Reeds, Zhigang, and Dina are quite the experts about those things, so they help improve the plans.
They have a lot to talk about, so they extend their stay in Bali. Also, they want to confirm one of Jin Woo's statements, about Indra being stronger than any of them and can defeat them alone.
*****
"So you want to fight me? That's why you extend your stay for another week?" Indra asks while they eat.
"Hey, we just want to confirm it. It's just hard to believe that a Healer is also capable of fighting. If it's against low rank hunters, then we're sure you'll win easily because even if you are a healer, you still have higher stats than low rank hunters as a National Level Hunter. But Jin Woo said you can defeat all of us alone. Do you expect us to believe it right away?" Thomas answers his question.
"Isn't it more like you don't want to believe it rather than I'm expecting you to believe it? You don't want to believe that a Healer can also fight and even use offensive magic because that will make me basically capable of doing everything that hunters do, right?"
"Well, basically yeah. But also, we still have a hard time believing that everything we saw and heard is true. Maybe seeing your power will fully convince us about this whole thing." Thomas smirks, making Indra think that Thomas just wants to fight him for fun.
"Fine, let's do it tomorrow in the training room."
*****
The next day, the National Level Hunters are coming to the training room to fight Indra as planned. Jin Woo and Norma also come to watch the match.
After everyone comes, Indra covers the whole room with his barrier. He also makes a barrier around Jin Woo and Norma so they won't be affected by the battle.
"The Rune Magic in this room won't be able to hold against all of us, so I need to use my barrier to make sure nothing breaks. Now come to me with everything you've got." Indra grins while taunting them with his finger.
The others are hesitating, but Thomas just charges while grinning widely. He sends a powerful punch at Indra, a punch that can kill S-Rank dungeon mobs instantly.
Indra just watches the punch coming to his face while grinning too. Then right before it hits his face, he blocks it with his right palm. He grabs Thomas's fist and stops it easily, surprising everyone there, even Jin Woo who didn't think that Indra is already this strong.
"Well, you guys still want to wait?"
The National Level Hunters finally stop hesitating and move to attack Indra. Dewi and Il Hwan who already know that Indra is actually a strong fighter also joined the party.
They want to know if the National Level Hunter team can defeat the current Indra because if they can't, then there will be no chance to defeat him in the future because he will keep getting stronger.
Indra grins as he pushes Thomas back and then gets into his fighting stance. It's been a long time since he can fight against strong opponents like them. He hopes they can make him go all out to make this fight fun.
Il Hwan arrives first with his speed. He swings his short swords toward Indra at really high speeds. But Indra catches his wrists before throwing him to Zhigang who comes from the left
He throws Il Hwan there to block his sister's punch. Dewi's punch is faster than Thomas's punch. But it's weaker, so the power it resulted in is similar because of the high speed.
Just like with Thomas, he blocks Dewi's punch quite easily. But because she has been fighting against him very often, she already knows her punch won't hit him.
So she has prepared another attack, an attack with her right knee aimed at Indra's left waist. But he has anticipated it too because he has been fighting her very often, so he knows her attack patterns really well.
Though unlike their usual battle training, his opponent isn't just Dewi, but all of the National Level Hunters. She has teammates who are helping her fight him.
Ragnar comes with a sword attack aimed at Indra's head together with a strong punch sent by Thomas, aimed at his stomach. Jonas also comes from above with a strong drop kick aimed at his head too.
Indra counters Dewi's knee kick with his own knee kick as he pushes her back using her fist that he catches. Then he deflects Ragnar's sword using the back of his left hand on Ragnar's sword's flat side.
He deflects the sword while catching Jonas's ankle with his right hand. Then he moves back a bit to dodge Thomas's punch while swinging Jonas down to hit Thomas.
Jonas crashes onto Thomas. Both of them fall hard on the floor.
Suddenly, a fire circle appears on the floor with Indra being in the middle of it. The fire fills the floor before it suddenly turns into a big fire pillar that engulfs Indra.
It's a very hot fire that makes everyone feel like they'll get burnt even without touching it. This spell is one of Reed's most powerful spells that he rarely uses because it always makes the dungeons collapse before because it destroys the ceilings if he was in cave type dungeons.
That's why he didn't use it in the Giant boss fight. He was worried the dungeon would collapse and bury the team. But he doesn't need to worry about it now because his spell won't break Indra's barrier.
Well, that's stupid of him. He doesn't realize that if one of his strongest spells can't break Indra's barrier, that means he can't break Indra's defense because Indra can just create a barrier around him.
But Indra won't do that because he wants to show that he truly is a capable fighter. So when the fire shoots to the ceiling and forms a fire pillar, Indra jumps away from there at the last moment to avoid the fire.
He is so fast that even the National Levels can only barely see his afterimages. Indra stops on the other side of the room and taunts them to attack him again.
Numerous wind blades suddenly fly toward him when he does that. The wind blades are packed very closely, so it will be hard to dodge.
But Indra doesn't need to dodge them. He has a skill called Hardening that hardens his body. So he hardens his arms and legs before punching and kicking the wind blades, destroying them easily.
Fire arrows also start to fly among the wind blades. He also destroys them easily even though they come from different angles and even hide behind the wind blades.
Dina and Kwasi are coordinating their attacks, then Reed also joins by sending explosive fire bullets that will explode when destroyed.
So when Indra destroys them, they explode and the explosions engulf him. The National Levels expect him to receive some damage, but he keeps attacking the incoming spells even though he is covered with smoke.
He hardens his whole body to increase his defense the instant he sees Reed's fire bullets can explode. Though even without doing it, Indra's body is already tough enough to defend the explosions and he has great resistance to both physical and magical attacks.
The Mages stop attacking after a while to let the melee fighters attack Indra. They start coordinating their attacks just like when they are raiding dungeons together.
But Indra also doesn't have a problem fighting that. After all, he is also a team member and what's more, he is the strategist, so he knows all of their strategies.
He handles all of their attacks with ease as if he is an S-Rank fighting low rank hunters.
"Seems like you need to train your skills more."
