Finally, all of Takeda’s avatars were dead, the whole crowd watched as Takeda stretched out his hand and calmly waited for the last power core, which was infused with wind energy to condense into his palm before swallowing it whole.
As this unfolded, the supporters of the War God Mage Academy couldn’t help but wonder why Alec wasn’t making his move to finish him off.
But while they believed it was the perfect mont to strike, Alec sensed sothing different, a shift in energy, so he waited patiently, watching as Takeda absorbed the final core.
Seconds later, Takeda threw his head back, as his energy surged violently, even from a distance, Alec could tell that Takeda was now emitting the aura of a Tier 8 lifeform.
Though unstable, however; it was still enough to make Alec realize sothing critical, this version of Takeda could rival a standard Tier 8 mage.
It also explained why the battle had dragged on longer than expected and his golems were unable to fully dominate them, it was because of the fact that just like Alec’s golems, Takeda’s avatars had been capable of fighting above their natural mage realm, though not to the sa extre degree as Alec Golems.
“I thought you would have made your move by now. What has stopped you so far?” Takeda asked, as he spoke, he pushed both hands forward, his fingers weaving through a series of hand signs.
When he finished, his appearance changed greatly, as layers of fabric ford around him, shaping him in a more domineering ninja attire, the only thing missing was the ninja mask to complete his badass Equipnt set.
On his back rested a katana angled to the right, with an axe secured on the left. A wakizashi hung at his left waist side, while a kusarigama was coiled at his left waist side, and a clawed gauntlet manifested over his left hand.
For the first ti, his full spirit equipnt set was revealed, and with it—His unstable aura stabilized completely, it was as if the equipnt set itself had harmonized the chaotic energies within him, bringing them under perfect control.
“Of course I’m not foolish enough to run into a trap, you clearly have an invisible trap array still circulating around you, anyone who tries to get close would be hit by the full force of that formation.”
“Too bad for you, I have very discerning eyes,” Alec said, pointing to his eyes, which glowed with a faint blue light.
“Well then... I guess playti is over,” Takeda replied, as he finally made his move.
Boom!
The sheer speed of his dash created a muffled explosion in the air, as a semi-transparent ring of pressure ford where he had just stood, in the blink of an eye, he was already in front of Alec, his right fist driving forward toward Alec’s face.
Even before the punch landed, Alec’s eyes tracked the movent perfectly, predicting its path, however his body just seed unable to keep up with the new speed.
Boom!
A second explosion rang out, louder than the first.
To many of the spectators who lacked higher-level perception, it looked as if Takeda had simply vanished from the spot he once stood and the next he reappeared where Alec had been standing, while Alec himself disappeared entirely from everyone’s view.
A split second later, the ground beneath collapsed inward, as pillars of earth burst outward from the sheer force of the impact of Alec’s back slamming hard on the ground.
Ting!
Not far away, Legion imdiately adjusted his approach, switching his weapon into a firearm and unleashing a barrage of bullets toward Takeda, in which Takeda responded to, with a casual swipe of his hand.
Which caused a blizzard to surge into existence, forming a natural barrier that deflected the incoming bullets effortlessly, unlike his avatars, he could rge their multiple elents together, to create entirely new phenonal elental attacks.
But before even a second passed, he noticed sothing was wrong, the storm he had just created... was being cut apart, a white-red streak of light sliced through the blizzard, tearing it open and dispersing it completely.
Yet Takeda didn’t have the luxury of focusing on that alone, because in that sa instant he could feel so presence creeping on him using his tal senses—All of Alec’s golems were already closing in for the kill.
Butcher appeared from the left, his Lightning Axe raised high, at the sa ti, the eerie half-spider, half-woman golem was on the ground, her fingers twitching in mid-air as she watched him with a strange, unsettling smile.
Around them, several smaller spiders had already taken positions across the terrain, though Takeda was confident enough that he could crush them easily; however his instincts warned him otherwise, that if he dared to descend, he might be the one to regret it.
In one smooth motion, he drew his katana from his back with his right hand and swung it in the sa fluid movent, releasing a blade of Qi toward Butcher, at the sa ti, he pivoted and slashed toward the direction where his blizzard had just been split apart.
Butcher managed to deflect the incoming Qi blade, though the force of the attack had pushed him back several ters before he could accomplish that, as for Legion, he maneuvered cleanly around the flaming arc slash sent his way by opening the glide wings behind him slightly.
The mont he regained his position in Mid-air , Legion’s first thought was to hurl his laser spear forward like a javelin.
Seeing it coming, Takeda reacted instantly, as he lifted his leg and struck the spear at just the right point, just after the spear head tip, causing it to spin midair, now, the spear reversed direction, on its way of slowly turning back toward Legion.
However, before Takeda could complete the motion and fully redirect the attack back to legion—Butcher struck, with his thunder axe slamming into Takeda’s back, releasing all the stored lightning at once.
The surge coursed through Takeda’s body, temporarily numbing his muscles in place, for a full second, his body trembled violently.
Then after, he regained partial control of his body, and he instantly reacted—As his right hand, which was coated with the Stone Fist spell, swung backward and struck Butcher across the face in the course of action, sending him flying backward.
