War III

Before Ena could sprint towards Alex, a hand suddenly gripped her neck and held her up against the wall.

"Did you think I was going to keep letting you come at me? Fool, it's my turn now," said Alex.

The red halo above Alex's head glowed brighter as the hand around Ena's neck gripped tighter. Ene was struggling to pry the hand off her neck even if with her chi circulating through her hand.

Just how much strength did the halo provide?

Suddenly, a bright fireball came flying towards Alex, but it was no use, he used his sharp claws to swipe the fireball away with ease. But due to this, his grip around Ena's neck loosened as she pried his hand off her neck.

Seeing that Alex was still distracted, she sent a hard kick towards his stomach which sends him flying. All of her gathered chi that was in her arm was now in her leg which made the impact stronger than it already was.

Right when he was sent back, Marie came to Ena's aid, "Princess! Are you all right?"

"*Cough* *Cough* Yeah, I'm fine now. Thanks, by the way, would've been in deep trouble if you weren't there," said Ena.

"Jeez, you should be mo-" Ena interrupted Marie by pushing her out of the incoming ice shards. She created two blades from her chi and started cutting the shards that came her way, luckily there weren't too many of them.

"I'm fine! Just try to help me immobilize or apprehend him!" Ena yelled.

"Yes, princess!" Marie yelled back.

Ena didn't have enough time to tell Marie not to call her princess, Alex was much more important than that. Ice shards and small fireballs were hovering over both of his palms and he was slightly levitating with his wind magic.

"Seeing it in person changes a lot of things," Marie muttered.

However, Marie didn't have the time to be amazed, Ena was already gone from her side and was charging at Alex who was flying towards her.

「 Chi - Empower State Activated 」

「 Chi - Focused State of Tranquility Activated 」

With her existing abilities boosted and her state of focus greatly increased, Ena was easily able to weave past the incoming fireballs and shards that were coming at her.

Once she thought she was close enough, she jumped into the air and brought her two blades of chi down at Alex.

*BOOM*

The twin blades in Ena's pair of hands collided with the fireballs which send her flying upwards from the shockwave. But it didn't end there, Marie instantly knew what to do, she knew she was the support in this battle. When Ena was in the air, Marie carefully guided her down.

"Thanks!" Ena shouted for Marie.

There was no time to be distracted, Ena projected a Rasengan with her right hand and aimed it towards Alex's stomach once again. Alex saw this coming though, he jumped back, and yet, the attack still hit him.

This was different from the attack Ena did earlier, she called this the "Earth Shattering Smash," but in reality, it was a flying Rasengan. This was to confuse the enemy on what type of attack she was going to perform.

*BOOM*

Alex's back crashed into the wall behind him, but he didn't get any time to rest. Ena's twin blades turned into lightning bolts, she threw the two bolts towards Alex's heart and head. But right before it could make contact, a mutant got in the way and gave up its life for Alex.

"Tsk, using your minions to save you," Ena said.

"Haha! That's hilarious, using my minions to save me? They voluntarily gave up their life to the MASTER. I didn't give any commands to them, they're supposed to protect their master after all." Alex said.

"Princess! I'm having a bit of trouble!" Marie shouted.

This caused Ena's attention to switch over from Alex to Marie, glancing over, several mutants were pushing her back. However, there was no time to worry about Marie, Alex was already charging at her but due to her being distracted, she couldn't dodge the punch that was aimed at her left cheek.

"Princess, watch out!"

"Huh?"

*SPLAT* *CRACK* *COUGH*

When Ena dropped to the floor, she coughed out a mouthful of blood as her head hit the ground causing a headache. But the pain she felt on her cheek and jaw was worse than the headache she was feeling. She could confirm her jaw as broken, but it felt better when she circulated chi towards her head.

As Ena gets up, "Seriously, a sneak attack? Are we playing dirty now?"

"Ha?! Playing dirty? You were the one who got distracted by that maid of yours, how could you blame me?" Alex questioned.

Ena couldn't say anything back, she knew it was true. Glancing over her shoulder, Marie looked like she was doing fine by herself with the help of Edward. Seeing this, Ena was relieved but there was still a battle for her to fight.

"Enough talking, let's finish this already," Ena said.

"I couldn't ask for anything better, I still want to see the full abilities of my dear younger sister," said Alex.

This added fuel to Ena's anger, "Someone who enslaved children and turned them into pets have no right to be my sibling, you can shove that thought up your a**."

Ena spread out her arms, "Chi - Invisible Energy Manipulation."

Ena chose to perform an ability she's been practicing in secret since the time to use this attack took a while, she only focused on this ability to evolve it. She was now able to perform it in a matter of few seconds.

This ability allowed her to exert her true chi from her body and turn it into invisible energy. To Alex, she was only spreading her arms, being silly which confused him.

Surely she wasn't fooling around with him, right? If so, he would end her right now even though he was ordered to bring information. But Alex let his pride get to him and charged straight forward.

That was when he realized the hairs on the back of his neck stood up, before he knew it, he was...
