Chapter 339: A Surprise Visit (2/2)

”If you consider Valentia to be a berserker, then you can consider me as a guardian,” Griselle said after Valentia was done. ”I'm a Rank 4 Prime Defender. I'm great at blocking and deflecting attacks, while my ultimate move allows me to reflect attacks thrown at me at 200% of its original power. Other than that, I also train in swordsmanship, though my ability with it is not as great as Valentia's.”

”Since all four of you have explained your classes and specialties, it's time for me to do the same,” Vanadir said before explaining, ”I'm a Rank 3 Adept Windwalker. From the name of my class, it's quite obvious that I should be well-versed in Wind-type magic…but I'm not. I'll make sure to learn as much Wind-type magic as possible before the start of the event. Nevertheless, I'm well-versed in sword fighting, and I have a weapon that allows me to cast Wind-type offensive magic.”

After that, Vanadir took in a deep breath before looking at the four once more and asking, ”So, are we all clear on our specialties?”

In response, all four lightly nodded, to which Vanadir let out a light smile before saying, ”Alright. Let's formulate some group attacks!”

…

And just like that, the five of them started to formulate group attacks that would allow their specialties to become more prominent. Of course, at first, it was quite hard for them to formulate decent group attacks since they were still getting used to the limits of the other members in the team. But naturally, as time passed, they became more and more comfortable as they got to know what worked and what didn't.

By the time around three hours had passed, the five of them had decided that they had created all of the possible group attacks they could make that involved two people. Naturally, they knew that there was a still long way to go until their moves would be considered powerful, though they knew they already had a good start.

After another hour had passed, all group attacks involving three people had been created by them, with group attacks involving four people being made within the span of a half hour after that.

With all of that done, that only left the group attacks that involved all 5 of them. Since these types of attacks needed the full coordination and cooperation of the members making up the attack, it took over an hour for everything to finally fall into place.

”Let's try this one more time!” Vanadir shouted, soon dashing at the fastest speed he could muster.

”Hup!” While Vanadir was running towards a certain direction, Dane soon conjured a pillar of earth in front of Vanadir, which the latter used as a platform to jump off of as he started to fall down from a decently high height.

”Ignition Mode!”

”[Magnus Tempestria: Dragon's Fang]!”

In an instant, the length of the blade Vanadir was wielding had expanded by a meter, being made up of a tangible dark green energy. Not wanting to fail one more time, he hastily shouted as he continued to fall down, ”Everyone! Buff me up!”

”3rd Circle! Void's Embrace!” Dane hastily shouted, instantly covering Vanadir's blade in a thin layer of dark energy.

”1st Circle! Flame Imbuement! Aqua Imbuement!” Soon after, Erea followed up with her own spells, covering the blade in a thin layer of red and blue energy.

”2nd Circle! Boiling Blood!”

”3rd Circle! Reaper of Life!” Valentia then cast her own spells towards Vanadir, with the former increasing the capabilities of Vanadir's body, while the latter allowed the blade to siphon life from the enemy, restoring Vanadir's health in the process.

”[Unyielding Barrier]!” Being the only one left, Griselle went ahead and activated a skill that conjured a barrier around Vanadir, removing the problem of being interrupted mid-attack.

”[Wind Dragon's Four Forms: Wind Severing the Earth!]”

Whoosh!

After activating the strongest skill he could activate on his blade, the speed of descent then greatly increased by a few times. Just as he was about to land on the ground with great force, he then twisted the blade he held, giving it a bit of piercing force as he felt that this attack would finally come to fruition.

Feeling great excitement, he then shouted, ”[Vanadir Coalition Supreme Art]!”

”[Four Supreme Dragons Ravaging the Heavens]!”

Bang!

Without encountering any obstacles, the blade Vanadir was holding had cleanly pierced through the ground, with only the hilt and the handle being seen on the surface. Soon after, a large shockwave could be felt throughout the training grounds before the earth started to crack into large chunks as a loud muffled explosion resounded throughout the area.

Seeing the effects of the attack, Vanadir could not help but feel ecstatic as he looked at the others, who were looking at him with smiles on their faces as well. But just as he was about to tell the others what they were going to do next, all five of them heard the sound of faint clapping from a distance, which proceeded to gradually get louder.

Not long after, the sight of a man wearing black clothes had entered their vision as he said, ”Well, well, well. Looks like my younger brother is actually interested in the throne. Who knew that brother of mine who seemed to be disinterested back then would have an interest in it right now?”

In an instant, Vanadir took in a deep breath as he knew that resolving things through violence was not the best solution here, especially when one considered the man in front of him. Taking on a cold yet serious tone, he then asked the black-clothed man with a light yet mocking chuckle, ”To think that you would be out here for a walk. Shouldn't you be preparing for the war for the throne with your team members…

Big Brother Arshe?”
