192 Guardians vs. Emissaries (2/2)

It is precisely because the technique that he gave to him had Law Insights of the previous holders, included. This became a tremendous help towards Luis' understanding of Fire Laws, specially back then that he only had entry knowledge about the topic. Ever since he started practicing this technique, he improved by leaps and bounds, the only reason why he hadn't made any breakthroughs in his cultivation so far, is due to his desire to solidify his foundations even more.

Compared to the meager knowledge of the Fourth Emissary about Ice Laws, it was obvious that he will be suppressed. Every attack of Luis carried a violent heat that would cause extreme burns to whatever it hits. Add the fact that Luis is extremely pissed about what the Fourth Emissary had done to Raven, his suffering could only be imagined.

Bradley and his fight against the Third Emissary had reached a stalemate.

The Third Emissary mainly uses water-based attacks, he also had a minor understanding of Water Laws as well. In light of this, the fighting style of the Third Emissary is considered to be fluid and unpredictable. What's more is that the water that he controlled had a corrosive quality to it, which Bradley had to be on the lookout for since it could corrode his swords if he's not careful.

Bradley on the other hand specializes in Metal Laws which countered the corrosive quality of the enemy's technique but only to some extent. Since Water Laws specializes in fluidity and unpredictability, Bradley's swift and flashy fighting style is somewhat neutralized but in exchange, the Third Emissary couldn't do any real harm to him either. In the end, this battle will be decided on who lasts longer.

Balmung's match against the Second Emissary is also in a stalemate.

It is mainly due to the fact that their fighting styles neutralize each other. The Second Emissary learned Darkness Laws while Balmung learned Light Laws.

The Second Emissary's Darkness Laws allows him to create a murky area where one's movement will be extremely restricted. In this area, the Second Emissary could attack anywhere he pleases, its not a Domain Ability in a sense since it only covered a miniscule distance around him. Nevertheless, it's extremely dangerous for any to get trapped in this area.

The Crown Prince on the other hand could more or less ignore the movement restriction if he utilized his Light Laws properly, but he couldn't maintain it for a long time due to the neutralization of Laws. Plus, the Second Emissary could attack anywhere in that little area of his, so Balmung had to exercise extreme caution whenever he go in for a close-combat. Balmung had some ranged techniques on his arsenal but it wasn't polished enough. He couldn't find an opportunity to use them due to the fear of the Second Emissary interrupting him. In the end, both of then knew that the result of this match would be decided by whoever falters first.

As for Old Lee's battle against the First Emissary. It was extremely strange.

If it weren't for the fact that the First Emissary had a strange constitution which enabled him to heal and re-attach his limbs in a swift manner, he would've been long dead already.

There's a reason why Old Lee was considered as a living legend in the Final Haven Kingdom. Though age caught up to him, no one in this kingdom could match Old Lee's horrifying speed. If Old Lee wanted to, he could run laps around the entire kingdom and be finished in less than an hour. How quick must one be in order to achieve that?

If there's anything that irritates the old man right now, that would be the fact that this this First Emissary is a kin to an undying cockroach. He had driven his sword in his heart about five time already. He had severed every single one of his limbs only to see them re-attach themselves like nothing happened. What's even more bewildering is that, he also severed his head once! This person should be dead already but to his astonishment, the First Emissary is still alive and kicking. This defies all common sense.

Even Old Lee in his age couldn't figure out what was going on. So even though he was dealing deadly damages against the First Emissary, he couldn't help others since he was still alive.

It was then that the Guardians and Emissaries all stopped on their tracks. This is due to them feeling the fluctuation of the portal nearby.

All of them gazed on the portal until suddenly someone came out of it.

Once the silhouette of the man appeared, Old Lee's face sank and his eyes constricted fiercely. He knew exactly who came out of that portal.

The underground district fell into an utter silence. Everyone stopped and gazed at the man, it was like he was the center of this entire event. Out of nowhere, the man's hair-raising voice echoed inside the district.
