"You're saying that we'll fight together.

" Randolf turned to Souta.

"Yes, that's the gist of it but let me handle the finishing blow. I wanted to kill them with my own hands.

" Souta nodded with a smile.

"Sure. It's more interesting that way.

" Randolf smirked as he agreed to Souta's condition.

"You're going to help your enemy,

" Yuvn said as he glanced at Souta.

"If you stay out of this, I'll let you leave this place.

"

Although Souta was a B-rank that doesn't even liquefy his mana, he could feel that the aura around him was many times stronger than an ordinary B-rank. He didn't know that it was thanks to Possession skill that Souta could have this powerful energy.

'It will be bad if he joined forces with this man. If I'm at my peak, I could easily handle a mere B-rank but with my current situation, it will be hard.' Yuvn thought. He hasn't recovered from his fight with Bargan. He couldn't use his burned right arm and he didn't have any mana left in his body.

The only thing he could count on was his physical strength. He was more worried about his comrades who were a pure mage. Eighty percent of their power comes from their spells so if they couldn't use it, even a low-rank opponent could handle them. Also, their orange grade was gone. Bargan turned it into ashes.

If an SS-rank appeared here, then they wouldn't be able to fight back but luckily their opponents were just a B-rank and S-rank. They could handle it to some degree despite their condition.

"Nope, I will not leave this place. How could I leave an injured seven-circle officer here?

" Souta said with a wide grin on his face.

Yuvn looked at his comrades and asked one person to handle Souta while he and the remaining five will fight Randolf.

"Souta, are you about this? Despite their condition, they were still a Hero-rank powerhouse.

" Randolf asked one more time.

"You don't need to worry about me. You're clearly underestimating me.

" Souta said as he charged towards his opponent.

His opponent this time was a mage. A man with average built and black hair but most of his lower body was burned.

Swoosh!

Souta arrived in front of the mage before he slashed his sword horizontally.

His sword was dark grade weapon while his opponent didn't have a single weapon and couldn't use mana. Plus, he didn't have a mana to protect his body so he didn't have a way to block a dark-grade weapon unless his class was a shielder or other class that was based on toughening ones flesh.

The mage raised his hand to block Souta's sword.

'Don't underestimate my sword.' Souta thought as he slashed his sword.

Swoosh!

A large cut appeared on the mage's hand. The sword almost cut his hand. He didn't expect that the sword was so sharp that it could cut the flesh of a Hero-rank.

"Argh!

"

He groaned in pain as he tried to move away but Souta chased after him and kept slashing his sword.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

The mage didn't dare to use his body to block the sword. Souta was weak but the sword was unusually sharp. Much sharper than the orange-grade sword that he knew.

"Oh? They started fighting. Let me start it too!

" Randolf said as he turned to Yuvn. He gathered his mana and launched himself at their group.

Swoosh!

Yuvn clenched his fist and threw a punch.

Bang!

Both of their fists collided causing a powerful shockwave in the surrounding.

Then, three people appeared beside Randolf.

"Hmm...? Only three, it means that Souta was fighting two opponents right now.

" Randolf raised his eyebrows when he saw that there were only three people beside him but when he thought about how Souta handle his opponent it felt natural to send one more.

The three people attacked him at the same time.

Randolf moved his body side by side as he avoided all the punches of his opponents.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

The only thing that his opponent could do was fight him using their brute strength. Close combat battle was what they want. It's impossible for them to fight a long-range battle. They didn't have a weapon for long-range or mana to shoot beams.

Still, he couldn't underestimate the power of Hero-rank even if they were gravely injured and couldn't fight properly.

Randolf shifted his body to the side as a fist passed in front of his face. He stretched out his hand and grabbed it. Then, he used his other hand to shoot condensed mana on the body of his opponent.

Bang!

The seven-circle officer flew and crashed on the piles of rocks.

He wanted to chase his opponent but Yuvn and the other two seven-circle officers blocked his way.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Randolf exchanged his speed blows to his opponents. He was shocked that a gravely injured person could still keep up with him. The Hero-rank was really a powerful realm.

'This person has experience in close combat.' Yuvn thought as he was surprised that Randolf's bare-handed combat skill could rival his. Without using spells and combat art, just pure combat skill. This person wasn't below him.

'Just how did this brat trained before to acc.u.mulate this much pure skill.'

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

Randolf jumped away and gathered his mana.

Decaying Earth Wave!

Yuvn's eyes constricted when he saw this.

"Move away!!

" He shouted as he jumped away. He knew that spell very well. That spell was a powerful tier 3 spell that corrodes anything that it touched.

'I couldn't kill them. Souta will deliver the finishing blow. Still, I don't think I'll be able to kill these four people on my own.' Randolf thought as he narrowed his eyes. If there were only one gravely injured person, then he could somehow handle it but four of them... it was impossible for him. At the best, he could tie them down using his full strength.

...

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Souta was passively defending himself against the attack of his two opponents.

Suddenly, he vanished and the two seven-circle officers missed their attacks.

Swoosh!

They quickly turned around and saw Souta twenty meters away from them. They didn't need to think about what to do as they rush towards him.

They didn't want to give him a time to counterattack.

Swoosh!

Souta gritted his teeth as his two opponents arrived in front of him. A Hero-rank at peak could easily traverse five hundred meters in just a second. Twenty meters was nothing for them.

The fists of the two seven-circle officers landed on his body. He didn't try to avoid it because he knew that he wouldn't be able to create a chance if he avoided it.

He gritted his teeth as he felt his ribs being crushed even though most of the damage was received by Shadow Cloak skill. He silently cast his spells.

Shadow Bind!

Gravitational Ball!

Shadow Ball!

Fist-size black balls formed on his back and another set of black balls scattered around as the black tentacles rose from the ground.

Boom!

The gravity in the whole area was warped and it twisted the place. The two seven-circle officers frowned as they felt the gravity trying to crush their bodies.

Souta jumped away as dozens of tentacles rushed towards the two people. He then raised his hand and used his skill card.

One-time Dark Dominance Skill card activated!!

A gigantic black ball that has a diameter of three meters formed above Souta. This was the spell that Fels used to him when they fought in the Ibish village. A high-level tier 3 spell.

He received 10 free attribute points and 8 skill points from breaking the barrier device. He also received 8 free attribute points and 4 skill points for helping President Mia by defeating Wesler.

He used the 18 free attribute points in his intelligence attribute making it 945. He then used his 12 remaining points to level up his Night Overlord's Aura to level 6.

Boom!

The black aura around him grew stronger. It will strengthen his dark attribute spells and combat arts every time he used this aura to use his skill.

Souta narrowed his eyes as he glanced at the fight between Randolf and the seven-circle officers. He knew that he wouldn't be able to catch his opponents off guard but Randolf's opponents were possible.

Boom!

The two seven-circle officers broke through the gravity field and tentacles as they quickly rushed towards him.

'I know what to do... I'll quickly kill one of Randolf's opponents.' He thought as he continued to move away while the two were chasing him.

After he gained some distance away from Randolf's fight, he quickly turned around and faced his opponents.

"Let me do this...

" Souta said as his eyes turned red.

Soul Blood Mode!
