Chapter 294 - Frenzied Battle (1/2)
Laz and Tommy stood facing each other while others charged forward. It's worth it to note that on Tommy's side, they had about five less people overall, due in equal parts to the members of Laz's group who died and the member's of Tommy's group who Laz and Ruby killed. Originally, the difference would have been a lot higher.
The problem was that there were only so many front line fighters on Laz's side or even those who had something that could be used to fight.
Once you took all those points together, the numbers were pretty equal.
Ruby came face to face with a large man holding an even bigger hammer. Just as she was going to go in for the quick kill, the man slammed the hammer down on the ground, causing shockwaves to spread out on the metal surface and almost causing Ruby to lose her balance. Just as she was about to resume her charge, several large boulders appeared out from underneath his hammer, obviously having been dragged out from underneath the metal flooring. Although Ruby didn't know how he did this, she felt like he wasn't going to go down easy.
This man had three brownish black lines.
Dwayne ended up coming face to face with a rather pretty girl...
”I get to battle a chick?” Dwayne said, not sure if he was happy or upset about it.
”FUCK YOU. I BET MY DICK IS TEN TIMES AS BIG AS YOURS...” Although the young person facing Dwayne seemed rather pretty and female, she was actually a he.
”OK. Now that's better, time to get...” Before Dwayne could even come out with anything, he was suddenly struck with several large ice spears that seemed to appear out of no where, turning him into a human pin cushion.
”DWAYNE!!” Jennia yelled out, almost tripping over herself as she fought a blonde lightning user with three yellow lines.
Just as Dwayne stood still while the pretty boy smiled, the ice spikes melted as a greenish layer of energy covered Dwayne. Before everyone's eyes, the large, gapping holes in his body closed in a mere moment, causing him to pat himself like he couldn't believe it before turning his head and grinning at the guy who was now standing frozen in place with a shocked look on his face. Even Jennia and her opponent were frozen while watching this happen.
”Guess this mediation shit Laz gave me really works.” Dwayne said before looking over at the man who tried to kill him.
”YOUR ASS IS MINE BOY!!!” Dwayne said while launching at him.
”COULD YOU SAY IT ANY OTHER WAY YOU IDIOT?” Jennia screamed while turning back to her lightning opponent and raising her hand. A purple light shot out and hit him while a small skull appeared above her head and opened it's mouth. Before, she had just been dodging his attacks so he didn't know what she was doing.
”DRAIN!” Jennia yelled as bits of the mans power suddenly left his control and found it's way into the skulls mouth.
”WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT?”
”You're ending,” Jennia said with a smirk. She had no intention of telling this guy that her abilities all revolved around her ability to curse things, be it other people or herself.
”Damn,” Jennia said as she got back on her feet. Although the skill exploding had hurt, she had trained herself under Aaron to a degree which the whole Vodun respected. The only reason that hadn't shown before was because with Ruby as an opponent, all the training in the world wouldn't help.
Seeing his lightning abilities being super effective, the blonde grinned and got ready to unleash another attack.
Helen was facing off against some sort of wind user with three very clear green marks. His strength seemed a lot more prominent than someone should be at the stage as Helen had fought a few chosen before under Freya's lead. Helen's abilities were similar to Freya's in that she had been granted them from the goddess. Due to this, her speed and strength were exceptional while her ability to charm couldn't be ignored. With a few other skills, she was a perfect front line fighter normally, but against this user of wind, her abilities were super restricted.
How could you beat something you couldn't hit?
”If you were some dirty-blooded bitch, I would love to take you home with me. Well, I guess I still could... I'll just have to kill you when I'm done,” The gust of wind taunted as it blew away from Helen's grasp again while shooting off condensed blades of wind at her. Helen dodged out of the way in time as the blades hit the metal ground, causing it to be indented. Although the blades themselves weren't sharp, Helen learned quickly that they could cause quite a bit of damage as compressed air.
”Just slow down enough for me to hold you tight and I promise to never let go...?” Helen shot back with a charming twinkle in her eye,.
”Ho no... I was warned not to look you in the eyes. At least, not until I gouge them out of your skull. But look on the bright side, once I do that, you'll have a few vɨrġɨn holes for me to penetrate,” the wind user mocked her as he kept jutting around, not stopping long enough for Helen to get a fix on him. She wasn't even sure what he looked like.
”I swear to the goddess I'm going to rip his dɨċk off if I ever catch him,” Helen muttered to herself before jumping to the side again.
While Helen was busy dealing with that, The four Ivy's had also found opponents of their own.
Each one of them ended up facing a water user. Although they didn't look identical to each other, they each had similar abilities and pretty boy looks. While Dwayne's opponent was a male that looked like a female, the four pretty boys facing off against the girls were clearly male and clearly narcissistic.
”How did we end up with these scarred chicks?”
”Honestly, even on of the other random girls from this group would have been fine...”
”Check out that hot, snake like chick over there?”
