    ours!"

    Trevas tried to rise, but vin''s ''Earthtorrent Greatde'' came crashing down upon him. The force


    of the strike, like the might of copsing mountains, overwhelmed Trevas.


    "Ah!" Trevas let out an enraged cry as a surge of green energy erupted from him, a green haze


    cloaking his body. In an instant, dense vines formed, entangling himpletely.


    The Dawnedge de cleaved through the vines, tearing open Trevas'' chest, a crimson line of blood


    tracing its path.


    Trevas tensed in pain, his green energy boiling over as more vines manifested, whipping through


    the air like iron ils toward vin. This was a disy of astonishing Combat Magic and the


    formidable power of a Novice Mage at Stage VIII.


    vin had to retreat, narrowly dodging theshing vines.


    "Damn, how dare you harm me!" Trevas finally caught his breath, a mix of shock, rage, pain, and


    fear gripping him. He roared to his feet like an enraged grizzly, his body a whirl of vines thrashing


    wildly. The wind howled around him, a truly astonishing spectacle. But vin charged back into the


    fray before Trevas could strike, mming into the tangle of green vines with a low growl, a surge of


    brute strength, and a triple burst of power—the Mountain Mover!


    With a crackling snap, the vines flew in all directions, and Trevas was sent flying, crashing into a


    pile of rocks behind him. His chest had just been torn open by an ancient sword, and now it was


    struck again by the same mighty force, as if his heart had been shattered, nearly knocking the


    breath out of him.


    vin strode forward, intent on finishing off Trevas. "Cease your attack!!" Five Protégés, stone in


    hand, rushed back into the battle, crying out in fury at the scene before them, and charged forward


    angrily.


    vin swiftly turned and pounced toward them, dodging left and right with the agility of a hare, and


    quickly made his way to the Protégé clutching the stone, who gasped in shock and stumbled


    backward, too preupied with holding onto the precious artifact to fight.


    The others were astonished by the speed of the attack.


    vin leaped into the air, stomping down fiercely in session, sending both man and stone flying.


    He somersaulted through the air, intercepting the boulder mid-flight, and retreated back into the


    chaotic battlefield. The rapid assaults were a blur to the onlookers, swift and ruthless, the marks of


    an experienced assassin.


    Trevas dispersed the vines, revealing his gruesome, bloodied chest. He was sweating profusely,


    realizing he had nearly met his end moments before. With a ferocious expression, he yelled, "Give


    me..."


    A roar erupted as several fierce beasts suddenly charged, drawn by the scent of blood. Trevas and


    hispanions turned pale, bracing themselves for the confrontation. "Beasts, begone from my


    sight!"


    "Trevas, fall back. We''ve got this," the five Protégés, seething with rage, drew their swords and


    advanced on the beasts.


    "Attack, smite them down!" Trevas clutched his chest, taking cover behind them.


    After a fierce fight, the five Protégés managed to repel the horde of creatures. Their strengths were


    formidable, ranking between Stage VI and Stage VII. But before they could catch their breath,


    vin returned, stepping on the retreating Magi-Monsters'' heads, flipping through the air, sword


    swinging toward them.


    "Damn you!"


    "Do you know who we are?"


    "Do we have a feud with you? Why only target us? Have you no decency!"


    "I am Cobalt Strike Elite Protégé Trevas."


    Their cries rang out, but vin gave them no quarter. The sword was thrusted in deadly arcs, and


    his strikes, empowered by the ''dark energy'' of Goliath Force, quickly subdued the five Protégés.


    vin immediately advanced on Trevas.


    "Trevas!" the five shouted in rm. vin was fighting like a savage beast.


    But at that moment, Trevas saw an opportunity, shoved vin aside with a crazed effort, and


    plunged into the nearby fray. "By the heavens, save me!"


    Adirich, leading his party, was breaking through the encirclement, and passing by with a bountiful


    haul. Their party, at least fifty strong, was a formidable force, rampaging across the battlefield,


    ughtering Magi-Monsters and piging mercenaries alike.


    "Trevas?" The group immediately parted, protecting him to the innermost circle.


    "What happened to you?" Adirich eximed, surprised at the sight of the blood-soaked Trevas,


    wondering who could have inflicted such wounds.


    "That bastard!" Trevas tried to point out vin, but... he was gone.
