Chapter 94 - Fierce Battle: You don't need to go that far!

nSouta grinned widely. If he fought these people alone then the chances that he could win were less than fifty percent.

nIt was only his estimation based on what he saw in the ranking battles and his stats. There's a chance that these people grew a lot stronger compared to when they were still fighting in the ranking battles.

nSouta jumped away while casting the Shadow Bind spell. He then followed up by casting the Shadow Spike.

nGyron waved his hand and the shadows turned into tiny particles of energy. It faded in the air as the wind blew. He then looked down and saw spikes bursting out of the ground. He lifted up his feet and stomped it on the ground.

nTitan's Stomp!!

nCracks appeared beneath his feet and it spread quickly along with the force behind his stomp. It disintegrated the spikes as the cracks continued to spread on the ground.

nGyron, the top 1 ranker, was canceling all the spells that he casted. He's the one who protected May, Mark, and Bonny from his attacks. While these three were the ones who kept attacking Souta without care as they knew that Gyron was protecting them.

nSouta landed on the small crater and Lynn was looking at him there while holding the seven flags that he collected.

nHe waved his hands towards the three as he casted Shadow Bind and Shadow Spike.

nThe three jumped in the air and Gyron handled his two spells like it was nothing.

nGyron looked at Souta and said,

"What is he planning to do?

"

n

"Don't tell me he wanted to run,

" Sena said at his side. She was getting bored as she was the one who was carrying the flags that they collected.

n

"I couldn't see it in his eyes. He doesn't have that intention.

" Gyron shook his head and something came into his mind.

"Ah! So that's how it is... He wanted his partner to get away first.

"

n

"Nnnn...

" Sena looked at Souta with her eyes.

"Then, what should we do?

"

n

"Don't worry about it, as long as we capture Souta then that girl will be an easy prey,

" Gyron said.

n

"Lynn, you're too close on the battlefield. It will affect me.

" Souta said as he carried her in one hand and aimed his free hand towards his opponents.

nHe casted Shadow Ball before he jumped away.

n

"O-Okay.

" Lynn nodded as she understood what he meant. She tightened her grip in the flags that she was holding. She knew that this was the target of these students.

nSwoosh!!

nThey were in the mid-air and Lynn finally got a clear view of who was chasing after them. She was surprised when she saw the team.

n

"T-That's the top 1 ranker...?

" Lynn muttered in a nervous tone.

n

"Yeah.

" Souta nodded at her.

n

"Ugh!

" She was familiar with them and especially Gyron. Gyron was famous in the whole institute for being the top 1 ranker.

n

"Don't worry about it. I will deal with them. Just hide for a while.

" Souta looked at her and assured her.

n

"O-Okay.

" Lynn nodded her head.

nBoth of them landed on the ground thirty meters away from Gyron and his comrades.

nSouta released Lynn and said,

"Just remember what I said.

"

n

"I will do my best. I will not disappoint you.

" Lynn said with a serious expression.

n

"Good,

" Souta smirked then he vanished from his position.

nSwoosh!!

nHe reappeared behind Gyron and Sena. It shook the two people as they didn't see this coming. Souta never used this spell when he was fighting in the ranking battles, so they didn't know that he could teleport to the ball of shadow that he casted.

n

"Wha-

" Gyron turned his head and saw Souta behind him.

n

n

n

"Hello.

" Souta gathered his mana on his fist before he threw it at Gyron.

nGyron wasn't the top 1 ranker for nothing. He quickly raised both of his hands and blocked Souta's punch.

nBang!

n

"Argh!

" Gyron gritted his teeth as he felt a powerful force pushing him away. He felt the taste of iron flowing into his mouth. He shouted,

"Sena!!

" He then flew ten meters away from Souta.

nThe power behind Souta's punch was greater than he expected. Of course, he was a living being and the trait skill Corruption could increase Souta's basic attacks against any living creature, so it's natural that he felt the power from this punch of Souta.

nAlso, Souta's Triple Muscle Strengthening and Strength Boost skills were still in effect.

nThat's what Souta wanted. To separate Gyron from Sena who was carrying their flags.

nWhile Gyron was away Souta could focus on Sena. Souta quickly turned his attention to Sena and waved his hand.

nHe casted Shadow Bind and Shadow Spike spells to distracted Gyron and the other three for a few seconds. Even one second was enough for Souta.

nSena turned around and waved the flags toward Souta.

nSouta crouched down to avoid it and placed his palm on the ground beneath Sena.

nMud Slide!!

nThe ground turned into a muddy pit and Sena's feet slowly sunk down.

n

"What the!!

" Sena tried to move away but something strangled her feet. She looked down and saw the shadows.

nSouta opened his palm and casted Shadow Ball towards May, Mark, and Bonny. He then grabbed Sena's neck. He then raised her up and smashed her in the ground.

nBang!!

nSouta then shifted his head to the side and a fist passed beside his face. It grazed his cheeks and he felt the force behind her fist.

nHe opened his mouth and said,

"You've gotten stronger...

" He then raised her up once again before he smashed her on the ground.

nBang!!

nHer gripped on the flags loosen and it all scattered around the place.

nAt this time, Gyron arrived beside Souta. He clenched both of his fists tightly and launched an attack on Souta.

nWind Smash Combo!!

nGyron threw a barrage of punches at Souta in every direction.

nBang! Bang! Bang!

nSouta moved his hands quickly as he tried to block all the punches. Unfortunately, he couldn't. Some of the punch slipped in and landed on his stomach, chest, and face.

nBang! Bang! Bang!

n'As expected of top 1 ranker. He's on a different level than the rest of the students here.' Souta thought as he continued to move his hands to block the punches coming from Gyron.

nHe then vanished from his position and reappeared in the Shadow Ball that he threw before.

nBut...

nMay, Mark, and Bonny were already waiting for him there. The instant that Souta appeared there, they quickly attacked him without hesitation.

nMay coming in front of him, Mark coming on his side, and Bonny coming behind him. They attacked with all they've got as they used their powerful combat arts.

nSouta ignored Mark and Bonny. He focused himself on defending against May's attack. She was the strongest among the three of them and her attack wasn't something he could ignore like the other two.

nMay threw a powerful punch towards his face.

nSwoosh!!

nSouta tilted his head to avoid the punch. He raised his right hand and grabbed her wrist. Then, pain assaulted him from his back as Bonny's kick landed on his back.

nHe pulled May towards him as he took another blow.

nBang!!

nThe blow was aimed on his liver. Souta felt the taste of blood inside his mouth. He gritted his teeth and tightly grabbed May's wrist. Using his left hand, he grabbed her face and tightly gripped it.

n

"Argh!!

" May writhed in pain as she grabbed Souta's wrist. She used her all of her strength in her grip on his wrist.

nShe's really strong as Souta felt his hand going numb from how tightly she gripped it.

nBang! Bang!

nOnce again Souta felt Mark and Bonny attacked him. He gritted his teeth and freed May's left hand. He then used his right hand to lift her.

n

"Shadow Spike...

" Souta muttered as he lifted May's body.

n

"Don't tell me...!!

" Mark opened his eyes widely when he saw this.

n

"Stop that!!

" Bonny shouted as he gathered all of his mana to stop Souta.

n

"Huff...

" Souta took a deep breath and smashed May on the Shadow Spike on the ground.

n

n

nPutchi!!

nThe spikes pierced through her limbs. It caused May to screamed painfully.

n

"AHHH!! MY ARMS!!! IT HURTS!! HELP ME!!

" May screamed with tears forming in her eyes. Every time she moved her body extreme pain assaulted her.

nSouta looked at her and gathered his mana on his hand. He knocked her out unconscious. It seems that she didn't have that much experience in battle if that pain could make her lose her composure.

n

"Souta Ieshi!!

" Mark shouted at him. His face distorted from the anger he felt.

nSwoosh!!

nBonny threw a punch but Souta grabbed his fist and delivered a blow on his stomach.

nBang!

n

"You!! She's a girl and this is just a test!! You don't need to go that far!!

" Bonny shouted with clear anger in his voice while holding his stomach.

n

"Huh? I don't care about that.

" Souta looked at him and said.
