V5 Chapter 122 Play Time

" You two, don't mind if I get serious do you?"

Lenny asked as he cracked his neck and stretched his arms over his head.

" Be as serious as you want. There's no way you can beat both of us."

Amon laughed as he spun his spear around his left arm before flipping it over his shoulder and grabbing a hold of it in his right. Lenny drew his blade, and Philomel immediately focused on his blade, assessing it as a one-handed, basket-hilted sword that gives more protection to his barrier stone. Since the handle was in a metal basket shape that protects the whole hand until the wrist. Build for speed and close-hand combat which shouldn't be a problem for Amon but for Philomel she might have to keep up with that speed. Lenny glances at Philomel and Amon, studying them both for a moment before nodding.

Immediately Amon spun his spear around his hand, slamming it onto the ground, that action launched him at an incredible speed at Lenny. Amon raised his spear ready to attack Lenny from above, Lenny quickly sidestep and used his sword to redirect Amon's attack to miss him. Amon seeing that his attack won't hit, stuck his spear's edge into the ground so that he could stay mid-flight awhile longer and kicked Lenny in the neck. Lenny wasn't expecting the attack and was hit on the left side of the head. He stumbles backward, by then Amon landed on the ground next to Lenny and does a sweeping kick to knock Lenny off his feet.

As soon as Lenny felt himself falling, he finally hits the magical stone on his right hand against the basket part hilt of the sword, activating the blue transparent barrier around his body. Philomel seeing her opening runs toward them, Amon was hunching down with one leg out since he just sweep Lenny off his feet. Philomel jumps onto Amon's shoulders flips higher into the air and pulls out her last two daggers. She does another flip trying to gain as much momentum as she could before coming crashing down at Lenny. Both her dagger comes down at Lenny's barrier, causing the barrier to flicker a light blue before returning to transparent. Philomel clicked her tongue in annoyance.

" He turned on his barrier. Move to phase 2. "

Philomel instructed as she flips off Lenny. Lenny recovered from the kick to the face and swung his sword at Philomel but his movement was slow and Philomel had already flipped away moments before. Amon pulls his spear out of the ground and back away from Lenny, giving him some space to get up. Philomel backed away as well and crouched, getting ready to pounce at Lenny. Lenny's gaze turned to Philomel to check where she is, as soon as Amon saw that.

Amon attacked, doing fast jabs at Lenny, Lenny quickly block Amon's attack with his blade but Amon's spear was quite flexible and it was hard to predict where the attack could come from. Lenny hits Amon's spear to the left but Amon tilted the spear and used the end to wack Lenny in the side before kicking Lenny in the stomach. The worst part for Lenny was that he found it hard to focus on the sharp end of Amon's spear for there was a string pom-pom, that opened like a fan with each wide movement, causing much distraction for Lenny.

Lenny swings his sword at Amon but Amon using two hands just blocks it with the middle, wood part of his spear. Before moving one of his hands away, sliding Lenny's blade away from his body and tilted the spear so that the other side would wack Lenny in the ear. Lenny didn't flinch at Amon's attacks since it was all hitting his barrier but Lenny knew if this continues his barrier wouldn't last for long. Amon swings the spear around his arm coming in for another attack, the spear was about to do an uppercut down onto Lenny's shoulder but Lenny managed to block that attack.

Amon then switch, swinging the bottom part of his spear around the back of his waist, the spear full of previous momentum, came fast at Lenny, ready to wack him in the side of his stomach, again. Lenny quickly using the basket hilt of his sword, punches the spear away.

Philomel seeing her opening pounced at Lenny, stabbing the barrier on Lenny's sword arm with one dagger while the other was aimed at his neck. Philomel seeing that both attacks didn't land, step onto Lenny's lap and backflipped away from Lenny. Lenny stared at Philomel in shock relief of his barrier or he could be dead by then. Amon seeing Lenny distracted, swing his spear around his back and over his right shoulder, doing a downward strike right on Lenny's head. Philomel then does a sweeping kick and sweeps Lenny off his feet. Once again Lenny falls to the ground.

" Phase 3!"

Philomel ordered as she moves away from Lenny. Lenny groans as he lifted up his head, wondering what phase 3 could be, just to see Amon doing a downward slash with his spear. Lenny quickly rolled to the side, before hitting the ground and launching himself directly upwards, back to his feet. Amon stares in shock for a moment wondering how powerful that punch is. Lenny takes this opportunity to swing his blade at Amon, Amon quickly sidesteps and punches Lenny in the shoulder. But since the barrier was still working, Amon winched at the pain of punching the barrier.

Lenny taking this opportunity, slash his sword at Amon, Amon easily side step and swung his spear at Lenny. Lenny using his hand and barrier blocks the attack and punches Amon in the chest with the basket hilt of his sword. Amon was pushed back and winches at the pain before swinging his spear onto his shoulders and leaping backward. Lenny grinned, knowing roughly how to handle Amon's attack, and switched his barrier off. Lenny runs up to Amon, bending down to dodge Amon's spear swing and getting extremely close to Amon.

Amon immediately sidestepped avoiding Lenny's blade but Lenny didn't plan to use his sword. Lenny grabs onto Amon's hand and spear and punches Amon in the stomach. Amon winched at the blow but reacted by grabbing Lenny's arm. Held Lenny's arm straight outward while pulling Lenny's chest close and started head-butting Lenny. Lenny let go of Amon, stumbled backward, feeling dizzy and he held his forehead. Amon was still holding onto Lenny's arm and suddenly the sound of a bird chipping drew Amon's attention to the trees above.

Lenny shook his head and recovered from his dizziness just to see Amon flip his spear upside down and toss it up. Philomel leap, jumping as high as she could before the back end of the spear hits the bottom of her shoe. With that, she was pushed slightly higher before she used that as a stepping stone and leaped even higher into the air. The kick sends Amon's spear flying right down at Lenny. Lenny quickly side step but his movement were restrained by Amon who was still holding his hand. Lenny narrowly dodges Amon's spear and Amon immediately grabs his spear before it hits the ground and spun it around his arm to avoid impact damage.

Philomel stood around 50 feet in the air for a moment, she kicks her feet so that she could lay flat in the air for a moment before coming back down. She opens her legs using those as weights to start spinning sideways before turning and becoming something like a spinning arrow aimed right at Lenny. Lenny seeing Philomel coming right at him punches Amon and kicks Amon to let go of him. Amon was expecting the punch to the arm and blocked it with his spear but didn't see the kick coming. Amon getting kicked in the stomach, winched at the pain, and let go of Lenny. Lenny immediately turned and started running out of range of Philomel.

Amon knowing that if he screwed this up, they would definitely lose, quickly pulled off his half-flag belt, whipped it around Lenny's leg, and pulled. Lenny fell hitting the ground on his chin, he quickly flips over just to see Philomel a short distance away from him. Instinctively Lenny hits his magic stone against the basket hilt and reactivated his barrier. Philomel with two daggers in hand comes crashing right into Lenny. Instantly Lenny's barrier shattered as a spark of blue fell around them, Philomel held her blade to Lenny's throat.

" I win."

Philomel smugly whispers to Lenny. Unfortunately, all Lenny could focus on was Philomel's body laying right over his. Her chest pressed up against his chest, her legs tangled with his as her stunning blue eyes looks down at him with a cheeky teasing smile.
