CHAPTER 18

"Nope, can't waste too much time here !", Arata said. He had to finish the Mustang leader quickly, he can not let any other gold rankers to barge in here. So he had to eliminate this fucker before any other squad leader reaches him. War, my ass. This is more like a scrimmage !

Ching ! Slang ! and so on went against the Mustang leader. On the other hand Hock Yuley was standing tall. A gold ranker Defender like Wushuang. Rachel continuously attacked him without giving him a break. He used a big sword. But Hock Yuley did not stand a chance against Rachel. She was just an expert attacker and it wore down Yuley a lot. He managed to save his vitals, but in the end got stabbed in the heart by Rachel.

Out of all the people, Shao Warin was definitely the most pissed. The healer couldn't heal dead people for fuck's sake ! These people definitely die too soon ! Shao Warin took a decision at this point. She was going to put a permanent healing spell on all the gold rankers present and leave the lower ranks. On the other hand, Igsem completely focussed on healing Arata and Rachel. Also, she provided extra stamina to them so they could continue killing.

Arata was having a lot of fun, but this wasn't exactly the best time for it. He saw the Aegis squad leader coming in, and he as the name suggested, he is a big shield.

"Concentrate here, son of a bitch !", Roy Mustang shouted. So, Roy Mustang also had the assassination scroll and moved fast. He also was an enhancer. So he was one notch up Arata with his rank right ? Nope ! On the battlefield, skills are all matters. And Arata had them. But, it definitely took long to beat Mustang. Arata continued getting faster, and eventually broke through Mustang's defenses and landed a clean hit on neck.

On the other hand, the lower ranks were panicking. They thought no one could be better than them as they were from the families, but they had been proved wrong. The family didn't consist of any talents, only pieces of shit who leeched on their family and martial arts.

The Aegis leader was taken up by Solork, but Solork was on the losing end, by the time Arata interrupted. Arata was surprised by the Aegis leader. He had full clad armor. He was a summoner of Shield ! Shield spirit huh ? Arata thought. He definitely wanted to know what the hell do summoners do. This thought was actually the beginning of journey for Arata and the unsurpassable strength he will possess.

Meanwhile, Rachel had got another problematic opponent, Khul Rahm. He was a summoner of the lion spirit, and he was the leader of the Rahm squad. And Rahm, turned out to be an exceptionally ferocious attacker, unlike Rachel, who executed her attacks with precision and beauty. A weird thought about Arata popped in her head. What would Arata think about his Ferocious attacks ? Will he even be able to make a musical piece out of this. Little did she know that she was going to be the one to compose the piece.

"Your attacks are barely grazing my armour !", Aegis laughed in the air as he slowly swung his heavy sword towards Arata. Arata dodged and tried to go for the weak points of the armor - the joints now. Well if it wasn;t for this armor to continuously repair itself, he would long broken through it. Must be because of Shao Warin. Solork and Wakatoshi, meanwhile took care of all the people of the lower rankers, but they did meet Jahad squad's leader. He was also a defender, but a weak one, and was overpowered immediately by the two of them. Igsem also once in a while gave a boost to Solork and Wakatoshi.

Igsem was against the healer of the Yukino family. But she did not fight directly, as both of them were in the rear. Igsem had also been chased away from the Yukino family like Wakatoshi, because she had fallen in love with Wakatoshi. As those families weren't on good terms, they were banished. But Igsem and Wakatoshi were talented.

"Hmph ! It looks like this fight will decide huh ?", Raiku said.

"It definitely should", replied back Ikta Agnis. He looked raged.

Both of them were of the same type, except the fact that Agnis fought with two swords. Pluero and Rasol had been destroyed by Yuri and Edward. The meridians in their body had been broken, so they won't be a threat anymore. Therefore, Agnis Ikta was enraged.

"Anger doesn't suit you, garbage of the Agnis family.", Raiku replied while spitting on him.
