Crisis?

On Leon's side.

Lucas was staggering after making the full-blown shot. "Shit I missed. I was impulsive."

Lucas started falling sideways, but luckily their new team member came and hold onto him.

"Thanks, Rimo, Let me rest in a safe place. I will be back." Lucas said with a soft breath.

Rimo princess carried Lucas through all the bandits and went far away.

Meanwhile, Boa was to also make her final move in anger. However, Leon stopped her in time."Boa, stop. You don't have to do this, save that for later. Let me do it. You just take care of Enayet."

Leon holding his sword out with his right hand ran towards Alpin's Direction. On his way even glided, jumped, and cut through every bandit in front of him.

.

On Alpin's side.

Joppa with heavy breathing picked up a sword that was lying on the ground not far away from him.

Joppa came to Alpin."You fuckers will come and stop me every time and I have to clean you up. It also had me leave my paradise. I will never forgive you ALL!"

Joppa was about to swing his sword, but Hik suddenly shouted. "Boss, look to your left."

Joppa stopped his swing and glanced to his right. He saw a kid rushing at him while mowing down and easily evading his men.

Leon after coming out of the bandits surrounding immediately focused his mind on Joppa and Hik.

Leon launched himself at Joppa with a vertical slash. Joppa raised his sword and also swung at him.

Ting.

The moment their sword clashed Joppa was pushed back. Joppa cursed in his mind. 'Shit I am out of in the tank.'

Joppa was about to give a push but he found that his sword seemed to be getting cut through. He was shocked. 'How?'

Crack.

Joppa's sword broke apart. Meanwhile, Leon's sword was getting close to his face. At the last moment, Leon stopped his momentum and put his sword to his left side for defending something.

Ting.

He successfully blocked it. Leon still being in the air was pushed back. He after landing on the ground looked up and saw Hik emerging in the air.

Leon was sweating hard. 'Luckily I focused on him from the start and remembered his presence. I was confused about how he could backstab Alpin, now it seems he also has Outer Soul Shine of his. Damn, this is going to be hard.'

Hik asked Joppa raising his dagger as if assuming his battle stance. "Boss, you okay?"

"No, I am not. Why are those with god-gifted power can defeat me, all the time?" Joppa angrily growled at Hik.

Hik didn't show any expression but he was cursing in his mind. 'Because you are stupid and useless. And why does a person like you have that kind of power, not me? If I had it, I could have fulfilled my wish.'

Joppa said to Hik."Hey is this the kid you were talking about? The one with people behind him."

Hik said with a stern face."Yes, he is the one. Only people from those big backgrounds can produce this kind of genius. Also, you have seen what he did you?"

"I know I know," Joppa said with an annoyed face. "It was right for you to notify me first or I would have fish on a chopping board. But now I will remove all the witnesses and go somewhere else where I can start my paradise again. Hahaha..."

Hey

"You seem to be laughing too early." Rimo suddenly came to Joppa's side and slashed with his dagger.

Ting

Hik came in to defend against the attack in a nick of time.

Rimo backed up seeing his surprise attack fail."Tsk."

StepStepStep...

Leon came rushing up seeing the chaos. Joppa pulled another weapon from the ground which was a saber this time.

Joppa ran at Leon with a shout."Ahhhh."

TingTing...

Leon and Joppa went on exchange to attack each other. Hik was about to join them by camouflage but Rimo interrupted him."You stay with me."

Hik went into battle with his only using his remaining left hand. Which was giving him a hard time.

'If only my right hand weren't cut off by that stupid brat.' despite cursing he was battling seriously without showing any emotion.

Rimo while fighting glanced at the other side of the battle's situation. He saw that Boa and others were struggling hard now. So he shouted at Leon."Hey, we met earlier and I wanted to talk to you peacefully after seeing you again. But sorry for now, I am saying we have to finish this battle fast or we may get pinned."

Leon after evading Joppa's blow backed down. He replied."Okay, I am also thinking about that."

Leon is exhausted too much after fighting for so long and he also saw the situation is not good. 'I want to finish this fight so much but I can't find the opportunity to give a good blow. Also no matter how many times I break his weapon he picks up another immediately. It seems it is indeed true Ashura's are born fighters.

Leon decided to stop focusing on Hik and focus fully on Joppa. He took a small breath and focus his mind fully on Joppa and He felt that his surroundings went blank instantly. There seem to be only Joppa present in front of him.

Leon rushed at Joppa with wide eyes as if he was going to attack his prey while watching it instantly. Joppa became mad at that Leon's gaze and he swung his new sword with full force without any thought.

Leon dodged every attack Joppa threw at him. Leon felt he could already guess where he attack by the motion of Joppa's body. For that, he could dodge every attack early.

"That's it," Leon seems to find the flaw where to give a good and final blow. When he was about to do so he felt an intense sense of crisis.

He instinctively raised his sword to defend and received a heavy blow.

TING

Which made his body shot backward to the ground. Leon looked to see it was Hik again who stopped him. He glanced to his side and saw Rimo lying on the ground with blood coming out of his mouth.
