Elder Guan was in the sky with Amanda in his arms. Opposite of his was Elder Hanmi, a person of the same level. Although the two haven't fought before, they could vaguely guess that both of them have the same power level.
So, to stop Elder Hanmi he needed to make a move himself. He doesn't need to leave it to his subordinates as he knew that his subordinates wouldn't be able to do anything to him. They could only buy a few minutes.
"Elder, we're here!"
Elder Guan glanced and he saw his subordinates. He smiled as he realized that these guys really trusted him.
"You guys, I'll leave Young Miss in your care! I'll stop Elder Hanmi! I'll explain everything to you guys later!"
He said to his subordinates.
"Don't worry, Elder. I'm quite confused about what's happening but we decided to trust you." The Chief Enforcer George said. He was the strongest S-rank in the Witch Clan and he was also Elder Guan's trusted aide.
"Someone escort Young Miss away." Elder Guan said while watching Elder Hanmi. If someone from the opposite side made a move he will not show any mercy.
Ten people went beside him and took Amanda. Four of them have the power level of an Extermination Realm while the rest were Disaster Realm.
Elder Hanmi glanced at Amanda before he turned his gaze back to Elder Guan. He slowly opened his mouth and said, "I'm also confused about what's happening so I'm not going to follow Clan Leader's order to kill you. I'm just going to capture you and will decide what to do after I hear the situation of both sides."
"Clan Leader will be forced to kill you if you do that! He is the one who killed the previous Clan Leader!" Elder Guan said with a grit of his teeth.
"Where's the evidence? And if the Clan Leader is really the one who killed the previous Clan Leader then why haven't you told anyone about it for a long time."
Elder Hanmi stared at him with chilly eyes.
Hmph!
Hanmi opened his hand and a vortex of energy formed on his palm. He raised his other hand as he made a grabbing motion. Then, a total of twelve needles flew out of the vortex of energy. The needles were silver and each one has a size of six inches. This was the soul weapon of the Elder of the Witch Clan named Hanmi.
"The [Flying Piercing Needle]..."
Elder Guan squinted his eyes when he saw the silver-colored needles flew around Elder Hanmi. It seems that he couldn't talk his way out of this without fighting.
"Lady Asmin, Young Miss' mother, told me to keep quiet about this before she died. She said that it's not Rowan's fault and I should observe Rowan closely to figure out the truth. She asked me to solve this problem without affecting the Witch Clan but Rowan is always on guard. I couldn't find an opportunity for the past decades."
He said as he brought out his soul weapon. His soul weapon wasn't majestic or grand like Elder Hanmi or anything like that. His was only a piece of a white small pill.
Its name is [Power Steering Pill].
He could materialize this pill three times a day and it can only be ingested by him. If other people touch it it will turn into energy particles. This [Power Steering Pill] will give him various abilities equal to that of a dark-grade treasure.
"I will hear the full story after I capture you."
Elder Hanmi said as he charged towards Elder Guan with flying needles beside him.
Hmph!
Elder Guan tightly clenched his fist and gathered his energy. When Elder Hanmi arrived in front of him he threw a powerful punch that shook the entire area.
BOOM!
The Chief Enforcer George glanced at the battle of the two elders before he focused his attention on the opponents in front of him. His opponents were Elder Hanmi's subordinates. A group of Annihilation Realm witches.
But he was glad that he wasn't alone. All the enforcers of the Witch Clan were behind him. Although he was recognized as the strongest Annihilation Realm in the clan, it doesn't mean that he could defeat multiple Annihilation Realm witches at the same time. It just means that no one could defeat him in a one-on-one battle.
"Let's start it."
He said in a plain tone as a two-meter-long spear materialized in his hand. This was his soul weapon, the [Jaguar Psych Spear].
...
Bam! Bam! Bam!
Souta, Eztein, and Gragas cooperated as their figures collided with Rowan several times. Every time Rowan would throw an attack one of them would be blown away because of how powerful Rowan was.
A single attack from an Extinction Realm was enough to send them crashing onto the buildings.
"Ah, fuck! I didn't expect in my entire life that I would have to fight an Extinction Realm! It's exciting but it's also worrisome!"
Eztein cursed and a burst of energy surged out of his body. It was him activating the [Element Drive: Earth Force].
"He's playing with us. Just looked at those people behind him."
Gragas smiled wryly. The members of the Witch Clan have surrounded the entire area and they were just waiting for the Clan Leader's command to attack.
"Don't worry about it just use everything." Eztein glanced at him.
"Okay,"
Gragas nodded as flames rushed out of his body and it flows around like a stream of water. Its nature was completely opposite of a common wild flame. It was the flame that he used when forging weapons and armors.
It was also an after effect of his [Element Drive: Flame Force].
He glanced at Souta and said, "What about you, Souta? Use your release form. We wouldn't stand a chance if we kept saving our power."
"I know." Souta nodded with a serious expression.
"Are you done preparing?" Rowan asked the three foolish people in front of him.
"Kind of." Souta chuckled before he asked, "Why are you holding back against us? Don't tell me you really don't want to kill Amanda!"
"You, what are you trying to say?"
Rowan glared at him as his energy tried to pressure Souta but Souta countered it by using the quality of his energy. Still, he couldn't completely offset it as the Rowan had a tremendous amount of energy that he couldn't imagine.
"I don't know what happened but I know that she's your niece. Do you really want to kill your niece?"
Souta said as he charged forward and hundreds of black tentacles rose from the ground.
"What do you know?!"
Rowan shouted as he waved his hand and the black tentacles were shredded into tiny pieces. He looked at his sides and saw Gragas and Eztein.
Eztein thrust his halberd but Rowan simply shifted his body and grabbed the halberd. Then, he quickly punched Eztein's stomach before he three him at Gragas.
Bang!
He wanted to chase the two to deliver the finishing blow but the gravity got heavier all of a sudden.
Hmm...?
He looked down and saw that the floor beneath his feet had turned into a pool of blood. Both of his feet were slowly sinking through the mud. At the same time, black tentacles rose once again and it strangled his feet pulling him deeper into the mud.
He suddenly felt a huge energy fluctuation behind him. He turned his head only to find Souta charging a powerful attack.
[Dark Shooting Ray]!
A powerful and enormous beam of black energy shoots from the tip of Souta's finger.
"It's futile."
A cold voice rang. It was followed by an explosion of boundless energy. A spherical form of energy surge out and it destroyed everything around Rowan.
Boom!
"Shit!"
Souta opened his eyes widely and in the next moment, Rowan was already standing beside him. This guy wasn't even trying yet he could trash the three of them easily.
"You're not even worthy to play with me in your current form."
Rowan lifted his foot and before Souta could react, he already sent Souta away with a heavy kick.
Ugh!
Souta's figure crashed on the ground and rolled several times before his body had stopped.
"Do it," Rowan said, and the members of the clan that was waiting for his order quickly move. They threw dozens of spears from above towards Souta's body.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The spears pierced his chest, legs, arms, and stomach.
"Argh!!"
Souta gritted his teeth as he narrowed his eyes. His body ballooned up and the energy he was releasing skyrocketed.
"Aaaah!!"
Boom!!
An explosion occurred at Souta's explosion. The dust and smoke covered the area when several spears flew back towards the clan members.
Swoosh! Swoosh!
The clan members were all experts so most of them managed to avoid but there were unfortunate ones that got hit.
"Tsk! So persistent."
Rowan clicked his tongue and saw a three-meter tall monster rush out of the smoke. The monster was charging at him with unbelievable speed.
"I still can't believe how a monster could get such a powerful ability."
He muttered as he pulled back his hands and gathered his energy.
The moment Souta arrived in front of him, the moment he threw his fist.
Both of their fists collided causing powerful ripples in the air.
