615 Unpleasant surprise.


    The coordinated attacks of Valerius and Luciano did not fail to catch ke''s attention, flooding his mind with a series of thoughts.


    "Perfect sync,'' ke was shocked. ''It''s as if they have been training together for a long time.'' ''Of course they have,'' he muttered in his head.


    ''Well, this is getting annoying," kemented as his eyes narrowed.


    With his fists clenched, an invisible force erupted from his body, bulldozing through the attacks.


    Peng. Valerius'' eyes widened as the scorching de of his spear met the expanding force, creating fiery sparks brushing past his face. Gritting his teeth, Valerius could feel the strength of his hands depleting rapidly, it was going numb.


    Boom. "Gah!"Valerius groaned as he was overwhelmed.


    His spear was blown away from his hands first, leaving him with no choice but to cross his hands over his face before getting blown away. Simultaneously, Luciano watched the invisible force bulldoze through his fiery attack, charging towards his exposed body. Using the fused sword as a shield, Luciano felt the impact of the attack, and instantly he was thrown back by an invisible force, not even given the chance to resist a bit like Valerius. However, ke had no intention of letting his enemies catch their breath.


    Lightning crackled around his palms, lighting up his surroundings, while the space twisted violently before tearing open. ke threw his hands into the spatial tear, firing lightning bolts at Luciano.


    Soon after, ke vanished appearing behind Valerius who had just managed to halt his retreat, however, Valerius was attuned to the space element and was able to notice ke''s presence. He turned to meet ke head-on, but that was ke''s n all along.


    Stealthily, a spatial tear appeared behind Valerius, and the lightning bolts fired at Luciano sprang out of it, racing toward his exposed back. However, Valerius had seen through his intentions as a wall of solid fire spiralled into existence, shielding him from the bolts of lightning


    shes of orange and blue light illuminated the battlefield as ke and Valerius stood, gazing at each other amid the chaos. The magic spear flew into Valerius'' hand and immediately its de was engulfed in ck and golden mes. "It seems you have forgotten I had the space element." He said in a mocking tone as he stabbed forward with his spear.


    Speed Domain!


    Suddenly it seemed as if the passage of time had slowed, but in reality, it reduced the speed of everything in a hundred meters range of ke. However, Valerius was no rookie and instantly spotted the changes taking ce, even then he remained resilient with eyes zing with determination.


    "That won''t save you!" He growled furiously, putting more effort into his attack.


    Seeing this, a mocking smile bloomed on ke''s face as he decided not to make a move. He stood there, not bothering to block or evade the attack


    The de of the spear soon made contact with the fabric of ke''s attire, piercing deeper, but strangely Valerius felt no resistance. His face turned cold as his instincts kept telling him something was wrong.


    Buzz.


    ke, struck by the attack, quickly burst into a body of electricity, justifying Valerius'' hunch. 19:40


    Electric Decoy!


    Valerius'' eyes darted around the battlefield in search of ke and just as expected ke appeared. As soon as ke appeared some distance away, Luciano''s figure came into sight, his hands gripping the hilt of his fused sword tightly. It was clear they had predicted his next move.


    Simultaneously, Valerius appeared behind ke, stabbing forward with his spear.


    "Hmph," ke let out a disdainful snort as immense lightning began diffusing from his body. The next moment, the lightning arcs had be a massive pir of lighting, shooting up into the sky and reaching the ground below.


    Retracting his attack, Valerius attempted to create some distance between himself and ke by pulling away, however, ke had no intentions of letting him go.


    ck Hole!


    Valerius'' retreating figure halted in midair, unable to move further away from ke. It felt like a powerful force had a strong grip on his body, pulling him in.


    "Shit!" Valeria muttered as he gripped his spear with two hands. He could feel the pull not only trying to drag him in but it was greedily pulling after their weapons too.


    Beads of sweat ran down his face as he struggled to hold onto his spear.


    Across ke was Luciano, who wasn''t faring any better as well. He gripped his sword tightly as it was moments from escaping his grip and shooting into the lightning pir.


    "Damn it!" Valerius cursed as he looked ahead, locking eyes with Luciano for a brief moment.


    As if making a silent agreement the duo burst into mes, vanishing and appearing some distance away, however, as soon as Valerius appeared a spatial tear opened right in front of him.


    Yet to recover from the strain put on him by the ck hole, Valerius was a tad bitte in his response. A Greatsword with a wolf design hilt sprang out of the spatial tear, its de easily tearing through his armour and lodging into his chest.


    Valerius felt a warm liquid rising up his throat. He tried as much as he could to keep it in but his body wouldn''t let him. He spat out a mouthful of blood, staining his lips and clothes while his body swayed weakly in the wind.


    "How?" He muttered in shock as he reassessed the situation in a bid to find out what went wrong.


    His eyes dted with surprise as he realized what happened. It turned out that when ke had warped away earlier, he had remained in the spatial corridor while sending out a clone to fight in his stead.


    "I see." Valerius squinted his eyes as he realized what he missed. n/?/vel/b//in dot c//om


    His body hovered farther away from the battlefield in a bid to create more distance while his hands reached for the hilt of the de lodged in his chest.


    Blood trickled down his lips and he pulled out the sword with some effort, revealing a gaping wound in his heart.


    "Nice trick there but that won''t be enough!" Valerius hissed in disdain as a bright light shone around the heart region where he was hurt. Right before everyone''s eyes, his wounds began healing at a rapid pace leaving even ke momentarily shocked.
