Mal extended his right hand out; the air around him started to warp and ripple,and a translucent energy pulse from his body covering a radius of 100 meters, creating something akin to a domain.
The three sky clan supremes, sensing the energy, flew backward at extreme speed, attempting to avoid the domain, but before they could, Mal took a single step forward, and in an instant, he appeared in front of them, enveloping them in his domain. He then muttered in a cold tone,
[Increase]
The moment Mal uttered the word "increase," the sky clan Supremes felt their weight increase many fold; their movements slowed immensely.
Many thoughts flowed through Ava's mind as her wings flapped harder to prevent her from falling out of the sky. Her will then exploded from her body; she willed it to envelop her, hoping that it would isolate her from Mal's domain.
It worked, not fully but it worked. She felt her body becoming lighter, she then shouted, "Cover yourself with your will!" The two sky clan warriors immediately covered their bodies with their will; they both sighed in relief, as they were panicking a moment ago.
"Focus! Do not let your guard down!" Remind Ava as they continued to flew backwards.
Their little communication lasted no more than a second.
Mal, who had just arrived a few meters in front of the three warriors, eyes flashed with coldness as he stared at Ava. "Good, good, but not enough," after which he closed his right hand into a fist and then pulled it backward like a bow, then he muttered
[PULL!]
Ava and the two other warriors, who were now 70 meters away from Mal, suddenly felt an almost irresistible pulling force envelop their bodies, sucking them towards Mal, like a black hole.
Ava flapped her huge gray wings with all her might; her will clinging to her body tighter, but she still couldn't escape the pulling force. Gazing at Mal's fist, a sense of dread washed over her. 'If he punches me, I will most definitely be seriously injured, or even die.' She truly didn't expect Mal to be this strong, the battle had just started and the were already at deaths door. But this was what she wanted.
She glanced at her fellow warriors, who were struggling more than her; her eyes flashed, then she spoke,
"Stop resisting."
'?'
The two warriors glanced at her with puzzled expressions.
"Trust me," shouted Ava, with a resolute expression on her face. The two warriors thought for a moment then decided to trust her; she had gotten them out of many sticky situations before, pluss she was the leader of today's operation.
Mal shirtless majestic figure floated patiently with his right hand positioned in a punching motion; he didn't care about their schemes or plots.
As far as he was concerned, they were already dead.
The two warriors, including Ava, stopped resisting and instead launched themselves at Mal. With the help of the pulling force, they arrived in front of Mal way faster than they would have without it.
Mal calmly gazed at the three who arrived 1 meter in front of him. He squeezed his fist tightly, then punched out with so much force the area around his fist almost became a vacuum. [Perish!]
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
SPLAT!
deafening sonic booms echoed out like thunder; the clouds parted, and a huge shock wave spread out like a tsunami, flattening everything in three hundred-meter radius on the groun.
...
"?"
Some of the other kings who had part of their attention on Mal's battle paused; they were extremely shocked by the scene they saw. What they thought would have happened didn't.
Ava, whom Mal's fist was focused on, who should have been obliterated, had somehow appeared behind Mal,uninjured, and her wings seemed to be stained with purple blood, and her two companions had almost completely vanished—only Pieces of their guts and tiny body parts floated in the air. And Mal...
Drip, drip.
"Cough! Cough!"
He stood there frozen with his right hand stretched out in a punching motion, his eyes widened in surprise, his mouth bloodied.
a huge and deep slice stretched across his upper body, from the left side of his waist all the way to his right shoulder.
Purple blood spilled from the wound, covering more than half of his body, then falling to the ground below.
"So much for honor," he said in an extremely cold tone as he stood straight and turned around to look at Ava, who had already exited his domain.
Ava who preaches about honor did something that would most definitely bring her dishonor, something that would grant her death in the sky clan culture.
The moment his fist was about to make contact with her, she grabbed her companion and used him as a shield. She didn't stop there; well, we didn't stop there.
After he Pulverize the companion whom she used as a meat shield, he immediately launched another punch with his left hand, and just like before, she grabbed her other companion before he could react and also used him as a meat shield.
After this, it got tricky. Malused [Weight] to slow down her body, after which he punched again, this time aiming at her head,
Ava broke free from [Weight] and exploded with speed like never before. She then positioned her body at a weird angle, dodging my punch, after which she launched herself at extreme speed, almost above my head. Then she rotated her body over my right shoulder (front flip), and while she was rotating, her blade-like wings sank deep into my chest, then pulled upwards with force from the momentum of completing the maneuver.
Mal gazed at Ava, who now floated four hundred meters in front, with murderous intent, and stated in a venomous tone, "Such scheming, such ruthlessness... You are dangerous, and for that, I cannot allow you to ex—"
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Before he could finish talking, two feathers entered his domain, aiming at his head at supersonic speed. His brows frowned and The feathers started to slow down inch by inch before coming to a full stop.
"How rude," he said to Ava; she had launched them at him in the guise of flapping her wings.
'It's time to end this'
Mal stretched out his hands wide, then brought them together slowly; his domain started to compress, becoming smaller. The closer his hands got to each other, the smaller the domain became. Soon his hands closed together, and his domain now tightened to his skin.
Something about him changed; his body started radiating the aura of pure savagery, and even his wound stopped bleeding.
Ava's instinct screamed at her, telling her to get as far away from the creature in front of her as she could.
She listened to her instinct.
She flapped her wings—whoosh!—streaking into the distance.
She turned and gazed at the spot where Mal was, only for him not to be there.
"Where?"
She panicked.
She scanned the area left, right—no Mal. Her instincts screamed louder. 'Where?' She spun around scanning: up, down, left, right.
'Where? where? where?
'There!'
'Noo-!'
Bam!
