‘Grey’s already done with his opponent, I should end mine as well.’ Reynolds thought when he saw Grey disposing of his opponent.
The Water Elementalist’s eyes turned red when he saw his twin brother lying lifeless on the ground.
“Ah!” He roared angrily and immediately charged towards Grey.
The only thing in his head right now was how to kill Grey, but just as he was dashing towards Grey, a human figure blocked his path.
“Looks like you’ve forgotten about my existence.” Reynolds chuckled lightly.
“I’ll kill you all!” The Water Elementalist yelled at the top of his lungs.
He was going crazy, how could he accept the fact that his brother, who had been with him since the day he was born, no, in fact, his brother had been with him since they were in the womb, but now he had been killed right before his eyes. It was unacceptable, although he was seeing it, he didn’t want to believe it.
“No need to yell, you’ll be seeing him soon.” Reynolds said coldly, preparing to summon his Elemental Warrior.
The reason he’s summoning it now was that he had already tested his strength, although he could kill the Water Elementalist without it, it would take some time, and he could already see that Klaus was overpowering the young man with the mark.
“None of you deserve to live!” The Water Elementalist roared.
Reynolds looked at the Water Elementalist and shook his head lightly, although he felt a bit sad seeing the pain he was going through, he quickly shook his head to try and dispel the sudden pity he was feeling for him. Given what the trio was about to do, he knew they were not good people, so if he were in the Water Elementalist’s position, he was sure the Water Elementalist wouldn’t pity him.
“Die!” The Water Elementalist yelled and a water snake appeared and shot towards Reynolds.
“It’s time.” Reynolds muttered under his breath and spread both hands apart.
Soon, his Elemental Warrior quickly started forming, the legs were the first to appear, before it moved upwards to the head, although it seemed long, the time it took in appearing completely didn’t take up to two seconds. As soon as the Elemental Warrior appeared, it sent a blow at the water snake that was coming in their direction.
Boom!
The water snake exploded and evaporated into mist.
Because his view was impeded by the water snake, the Water Elementalist didn’t see the Elemental Warrior appear. It was only after a few seconds when the mist slowly started fading away that he saw the shape of a figure standing mid-air.
Even though he was slightly taken aback by this, his anger clouded his judgment. He sent out an attack at the figure that was mid-air before the mist faded away completely.
This time, the Elemental Warrior didn’t wait for the attack to get to it, instead, it took the initiative to go towards it.
Bam!
The water ball sent its way exploded after it destroyed it, and it shot through the mist towards the Water Elementalist.
Seeing the figure made of lightning coming his way, the Water Elementalist was left dumbstruck, but he quickly attacked again, this time, he used ice spears that aimed at the Elemental Warrior from different angles.
The Elemental Warrior expertly evaded the ice spears that were sent towards it while also using his sword to destroy the ones that were too close to it.
Bam! Bang!
The Water Elementalist went on a rampage sending out attacks nonstop without even trying to defend, it was evident he had already lost his sense of reasoning due to hate and anger.
It didn’t take up to a minute before the Elemental Warrior shortened the distance between them and got within its range of attack. As soon as it got there, it instantly started attacking the Water Elementalist who wasn’t even trying to defend himself.
The wounds on his body soon reached severe conditions, and the bone on his right hand could be seen after his flesh had been cut off by the Elemental Warrior.
A minute later, he fell, with multiple serious wounds on his body as well as a missing arm. Yet, even after his death, his eyes were still opened, filled with hatred and anger.
‘The pain of losing a loved one, I hope I never go through it.’ Reynolds shook his head sadly before turning to look at the situation over at Klaus’ end.
Just like the last time, Klaus was still clearly overpowering his opponent, and it wouldn’t take long before he defeats him. After staring at Klaus, he shifted his attention to Grey and then Alice.
‘Would I feel the same way if any of them were to die?’ He asked himself. Although he didn’t wish for something like that to happen, but on seeing the reaction of the Water Elementalist after he lost his brother, he couldn’t help but have that thought.
After standing deep in thoughts for some time, he walked to a corner and sat in a crossed leg position leaving Klaus to his battle.
On Klaus’ side of the battle.
“Don’t worry, they won’t join in.” Klaus said when he saw the young man throwing a glance at Grey and Reynolds from time to time.
The young man settled down a little, but one could still see his wariness.
Klaus found his behavior quite amusing, the reason for this was that he was clearly on the verge of beating him up, yet, the young man was acting as if Grey and Reynolds were the reason he wasn’t fighting properly.
“If you can defeat me, you can leave, they won’t stop you.” Klaus said again.
The fight was starting to bore him since the young man wasn’t as focused as he was during the first time the fight started. Now he only defended without attacking, making it seem like they were practicing or something.
“Are you sure?” The young man asked, not expecting Klaus to say something like that.
“Of course, we are a set of honorable people, or, haven’t you seen that even after defeating their opponents, none of them came to lend me a hand?” Klaus said.
‘Yeah…I’m just lying. I’m too shameless to be called an honorable person.’ He laughed inside when he saw the change in the young man’s expression, clearly he believed what he said.
‘He’s right, I don’t think they’ll attack me, if they wanted to, they’d have done it since the start. So now, all I need to do is defeat this guy.’ The young man thought to himself.
Although he didn’t fully believe Klaus’ word, he felt since Grey and Reynolds didn’t attack him, he might be right.
With newfound hope, the young man instantly attacked.
A bird made of the wind element appeared and instantly charged at Klaus.
“Haha, good!” Klaus laughed excitedly and blocked it.
Both fighters exchanged moves for some time before Klaus finally got the chance to send him flying with an attack.
Bang! Crash!
The young man crashed into the ground, sliding over a distance of about six meters before stopping.
He managed to stand up, but Klaus sent a water ball at him which exploded on impact sending him flying once again. If not for the fact that Klaus didn’t want to kill him instantly, he would already be dead.
“Hehe, you thought you could actually defeat me?” Klaus mocked as he went closer.
“Guys, I’m about to do it!” Klaus yelled to his friends while waving at them.
Grey and Reynolds who sat crossed leg facing his direction immediately shivered at the thought of what Klaus was about to do.
“Just go ahead!” Grey said, before mumbling, “Thinking about it gives me chills, I don’t think I want to see it.”
With that, he turned in the other direction, making sure he wouldn’t be able to get a sight of Klaus. Not just him, even Reynolds turned as well. With the duo turning, the only person who was staring at Klaus in anticipation was Void. He wanted to see what Klaus wanted to do, he only heard about the name, but he had not seen the attack before.
The young man was taken aback by Klaus’ conversation with his friends.
‘What is he about to do?’ He asked himself.
He tried to stand, and seeing that Klaus was looking at his friends, he tried to escape. But he was already too weak, and even though he was a Wind Elementalist, he couldn’t run quickly.
After he managed to run a distance of ten meters, he felt a chill on his leg. When he looked down, he noticed Klaus had frozen his leg to the ground, this meant that he can’t run even if he wants to.
Klaus had a huge grin on his face as he walked closer to him.
“Wha…what do you want to do?” The young man asked with a stammer.
“Don’t worry, it won’t hurt.” Klaus said as he flicked his hand, making the ice spread open the legs of the young man.
“This is a special move I named, ‘The Nutcracker'” Klaus said as he ran towards the young man.
Crack!
“Ah!!”
A grief-stricken roar echoed in the area.
