CHAPTER 173: Still Couldn't Point It Out

It took a while but they were finally able to push back the battle to the mountains where no villages and no people could be affected.

"Don't hold back now," Hunter called out to them.

Even then, after he had given them the instruction of not losing their will, he had reminded them of the fact that just below the people were all unprotected.

With his words, their attacks became even more fierce.

Stormie's wind would slice up even the earth down below.

Nixon would call for the water closest to them, whether it was a lake or a falls.

Drake's blades doubled in number hindering the clone more and injuring the other as well.

Willow used the forest to battle the clone, in order to get its movement to slow down.

Ridge rode on Basilisk and the two of them attacked the clone with one poison after another.

He was the farthest in the battle for the poison might affect the others as well.

Felix's lit up the trees surrounding him and the clone, obstructing the vision of the clone before he would rush forward to attack it with his sword.

Zian was close to Ridge as he was also using poison in dealing with the clone in front of him.

The two would sometimes combine the poisons, creating a deadlier one, causing the clones to be significantly slower.

With an all out attack, without holding back, they were able to start getting the upper hand.

On another side, magma would erupt from the ground.

If the others weren't so busy with their own battles, they would be in awe at this sight.

The thing that Hunter had been practicing other than his gravity was the control of magma.

At first he chose the one close to a volcano and started moving farther and farther until what he was using was the one underneath the earth.

The mantle that was dormant before a volcano would erupt.

Just as they have known all along, using the natural elements uses lesser mana.

With that in mind, they can only uses natural things and train with them in order to have more time for fight, more opportunities.

Hunter was able to use it but not as much.

Just like the gravity since complete control was needed or he would hinder the rest as well.

Together with it was his gravity allowing him to keep on crashing Chester.

Not allowing him to fly away or to move about.

In turn, the clones started becoming weaker as well.

But even with this and him realizing something earlier, he still felt that there was still something that is missing.

And up to now, he still couldn't point it out.

At the same time, he was also waiting.

What Chester was doing now was not the extent of his ability.

Since Samuel was still using his ability and was a few levels higher than before his death, surely Chester's ability wasn't lacking either.

Chester scoffed as he stood up after being pushed back by Hunter's attack.

He can tell that the illusion he applied at the beginning was no longer working as their hearts weren't feeling despaired at all.

They have realized too soon, he was planning on having them despair over and over again at the strength difference.

He wanted to finish this faster as well because he has another purpose when he meets them.

He was simply lucky that he met them here on the place he first set his eyes on.

At this point, Chester was simply thinking that it was coincidence that they were in this place.

Not even the others have thought that Saphira and the rest had actually intended to meet them instead.

Right now, Chester was thinking of something else after realizing that the people of this kingdom and those he wanted to kill the most were gone.

He was tasked to measure their current strength, especially the one who had injured Samuel.

But he could see that that person was not around.

He looked back at the castle as he remembered that they created a barrier around it.

For some odd reason she must have been there.

And since he was here to destroy this whole place anyway, why not just do everything all at once?

In the end, no matte rhow curious they were at the power displayed by one od these people, isn't it that it would be useless if they were to die anyway?

Hunter was about to continue his attack when he saw Chester smiling.

"Sto-"

He planned to have Stormie blow away his mist but he didn't expect for the mist to come from the ground.

This mist was not the usual graying or whitish one.

It was of black color.

And the mist was the medium of Chester's ability.

It may be so that it was not too much a while ago that they didn't realize it sooner but this time around, Chester had no plans of holding back.

He knew battling them would just exhaust them, so why don't he just imprison them and kill them altogether?

But somehow it was only the six who was covered, Zian and Felix weren't included.

"This is bad," Qirin called out but before the six of them could move, they were already enshrouded by this mist.

"What-" Felix and Zian were shock by this turn of events.

Not just them but even the mythological beasts, somehow even they were unable to get to their hosts and was left outside.

They looked towards the real Chester when they realized that all the clones were gone as well.

He grinned before he flew up, ready to return to the castle.
