Tears well up Wilcus eyes as he watches the brutal scene.
As the long bladed hand dig into Maestros heart, the hardened hand dissolves slowly back into liquid metal covering Maestro from head to toe.
"No"
"What are you doing to him"
"Unforgivable"
"You won't get away unpunished"
The Phantoms crew all haul curses at the youth as they prepare to attack, blinded by anger.
"Now he finally gets a taste of defeat hmph, arrogant brat", master snorts at Maestro from above.
After the liquid metal covers Maestros body completely, The entire rest of the mans body turns into liquid metal, making him twice his size as they Wonder if he is really human.
"Whatever that ability is, we will stop it and save maestro", Liz says with eyes full of conviction.
To kick start the battle, Alice chants inaudibly causing the ground beneath her target to instantly turn into quack Sand.
"I'll kill you", the man shouts while sinking, he then creates an axe, hammer, and two swords from his liquid metal body launching it at them at frightening speed.
Alice side steps and rolls to dodge the incoming sword, that's seemly bent on slicing her moving like it has a mind of it's own.
Whilst Alice dodges for her life, the hammer and axe targets wilcus, and sensing an obvious danger wilcus uses his fog to create a giant fist that clashes with the hammer, sending a shockwave which throws him back.
Before wilcus can recover, the hammer alters it's shape again, transforming into a hand and grabs wilcus, encasing him in liquid metal like Maestro.
"No, wilcus", Pico shouts with urgency forgetting to even bark, while the axe comes flinging at his head.
"I can't show off my skills here", Pico laments as he decides instead to shape shift into a large vulture beast with sharp canines. He then flaps up trying to get away , but it cut short as he forgets if the barrier above slamming into it and crashing down.
The axe after pico life, alters it's shape into a hand of liquid metal, grabbing pico as he falls mid air, encasing him, but pico shape shifts into a wild rat, running atop the the long hand.
As pico runs on it , he gets covered easily just then he shape shifts into an elephant, using it's weight to break through landing on the ground beneath with a loud tud..
"You can't beat it using normal attacks", Krish warns Pico, making him shape shift into a fiersome dragon while running, then taking to the sky.
"Swoosh"
The dragon stares at the man controlling this liquid things, and with a flap of his powerful wings he unleashes a breath of fire upon the liquid metal, burning it up, rendering it useless.
The mans response to this is a barrage of sharp bladed liquid metal launched directly at pico the dragon, but in a show of superior strength he burns them all.
"Keep it up, I'll use my last strength to prove my worth", Krish thinks as he raises his staff up, gathering the last life force from plants and trees in the area into a spell, "Explosion✨", he says a single word as he narrows his eyes at the man.
'Boom'
Three sparks teleport right in front of the miscreant and before he can react they explode simultaneously, Sending huge shockwaves and debris everywhere.
"Is it over", Krish faints off.
From the dust countless Liquid metals emerge, some wrapping up Krish and encasing him, then stabbing Banzzaza the samurai summoned by asima.
And before asima can panic, she too is wrapped and encased in liquid metal.
"Let's bring this foe down together", Liz nods at Alice.
Liz then creates a new gun, one of fire and the other of ice each with a futuristic sleek design, and with fire and ice bullet casings to match.
Alice doesn't slack off either as she chant's inaudibly, generating many runes that shoots at fire above the man. "I'll use the last of my mana to stop you, even if it's the last thing I do".
Pico, Alice and ,Liz work in unity as they charge at the man.
"Hehe, fools I can control metals too", the man laughs as the controls some of the laying rods if the building, spinning it at Pico it penetrates his thick dragon skin, stabbing him although shallow, but enough to make his lose concentration undoing his transformation back to his sharart form.
Although Alice and Liz put up a good fight, eventually the rods pierce them and they fall.
"Sega how do I break out of this thing, I need power now", Maestro asks Sega in his head while in the encasement of the liquid metal.
[You are now strong enough to use the basic form of Sega eyes, so I will grant it to you, it increases your overall ability and let's you feel people's inate feelings], Sega announces followed by a stinging pain in Maestros left eye.
"That's everyone down", the man congratulates himself on his victory against the inexperienced phantom crew, but is cut short by a sudden terrifying aura that comes from behind.
"What how", The man asks while staring at the broken encasing of hardened liquid metal.
Maestro steps out in a new light, shooting the man a glance as he scans the area only to find his comrades either beaten or half dead.
"Tch, so what don't think your little aura increasing due to anger is enough to stop me", the man taunts Maestro.
"Unique skill:Zap point
Maestro announces as he instantly moves in a burst of speed, moving along the ground in zig zag patterns while closing the gap between them. Below where ever he passes the ground beneath gives way, tantamount to his new found strength.
The man panics as he lifts up all the fall rods in the entire area to the sky, then rains in down in a fury at Maestro to stop him.
"Death rain", the man announces maniacly.
"Pow"
Maestro cooly dodges the raining metals by zapping from one pint to the other in a zig-zag while closing the gap and diving in at full speed. He then summons his dark blade as he gets closer with murderous eyes.
Maestro concentrates his demonic aura on his dark blade, then swings it twice imitating an x symbol, "scissors strike", he says.
Then the man See's two large hauls of sharp refined aura at his front with incredible momentum.
"Arrgh", he screams at his hands gets chop off and drops to the ground.
Maestro ignores his screams and makes another move with dropped eyelids, "Flames of purgatory".
A rune generates beneath the Liquid metal man, and it spits out a violent purple flame which burns away half of the mans body effortlessly, in a large tornado fury.
As only the mans head and a few part of his liquid metal body remains there, Maestro walks up Infront of him with eyes deviod of any and all emotions, "Die".
Hearing those words, his heart skips a beat.
"Stop that's enough", Master announces as he descends down finally.
Hearing this Maestro cancels the rune.
"This was my training, a set up to show you inexperienced fools with big lofty dreams, the harsh reality of life , Maestro the world doesn't need a softy, you better get used to killing your own kind too for the sake of those said goals", Master strongly advices while walking to them.
"Snap!"
Master snaps his finger, and immediately a spontaneous fire burns up every wound on The phantoms crew body healing them as if they never injured.
Naturally Maestro would have been boiling with anger, right above now but knowing that it was he fault for being weak that caused his friends to be injured, he controlled himself.
Maestros injury already healed since thanks to acquiring the Sega eye skill.
"If you disapprove of my method of training you, then go ahead and fight me", Master announces with a grin.
This is Milo my surbodinate and from today he is a member of this team, "The Phantoms", Master says as he introduced the man who put them all in that sorry state to them.
"Phew", healing that many people sure took a toll on me, Master wipes of sweat from his forehead.
"Alright you all done sitting on your sorry butts, let's continue our training!!", Master yells.
