Neuj and Timon felt the subtle discomfort of constant teleportation as their figures, with their subordinates, appeared in a familiar open area. They heaved slightly, stopping themselves from throwing up, their gazes scanning the surroundings as they processed the information in their brains. "Lord Neuj, we seem to be in the Free Zone". Sora muttered, walking up to her master. They were surrounded by rubble, demolished and incomplete buildings.@@@@ A few of the buildings had remained standing, despite the constant battles that wagered in this particular place. It was a testament to its strong foundations, though that strength would be tested today. Timon swung his greatSword over his head and placed it back in its sheath, a click resounding as it did so. He glanced at Neuj, a scowl forming on his face. "We should have attacked her the minute we had our chance. We made a blunder". "We did not. We didn't expect the Blind Swordsman to escape from the Energy Binders". "Those shitty things didn't do half the work I paid for". He clicked his tongue in annoyance, his gaze wavering around the area. "We are here, but I do not see anyone". Neuj sighed. "Neither do I". He turned back, towards Rafi, a knowing gaze written on his expression. She nodded in acknowledgement and looked up, materializing a red orb. She broke it and a red light permeated the air, igniting and disappearing as soon as it came. "An attention orb? You think calling more women will give us a better chance?" In this world, there are five different kinds of orbs, Attack Orbs which contain elements, mana or aura for offensive attacks, Defense Orbs for creating domes of mana for protection, Escape/Return Orbs for escaping enemies, Memory Orbs for storing images and events and an Attention Orb, meant for calling aids and backups. Neuj glanced at Timon, a disapproving gaze written on his face as he turned away. "That shouldn't be our worry now. We are in trouble; we tried to sell the Blind Swordsman, but that didn't work. Now, he wants revenge". "Revenge?". Raph's voice pierced the air, grabbing their attention like a magnet as a cold chill crept up their spines. Neuj and Timon glanced around, their subordinates doing the same as they searched for his figure. "If the King isn't worth my revenge, what makes you think you are?" It didn't take long before they looked up, and high in the skies was a boy with snowy white air that cascaded with the wind. Peerless, white eyes that bore through your very soul and a glowing, blue double-blade katana, exuding a malevolent hue. He rode atop a fearless beast, a werewolf, with onyx fur the colour of the depths of darkness and crimson, glowing eyes, the shades of blood.

Well, maybe it was because Raph's appearance was a little too familiar. He raised a brow as he glanced at Raph, his gaze furrowing in surprise when he noticed the struggle in his arms as he attempted to pull his sword but failed. He cursed bitterly, his pride greatly wounded by Raph's careless display of power as he held the tip of his sword, but he seemed to have bought enough time. "Master skill..." Neuj appeared directly in front of Raph, a newfound power brewing within him as he pointed his staff towards him. "Gravity shot". A vibration of the earth occurred as a purple orb sparked to life at the tip of his staff, growing into a ferocious size that caused the air to sizzle with pressure at the intensity of its sheer intensity. The ground shattered as it suddenly exploded forward towards Raph like a projectile, causing a sizzling vibration as it erupted into a mist of gravitational energy. "impressive". The air warped as Raph appeared above him, swinging his sword across the air as a crescent arc of ice trailed in its wake. It slammed against the heavy pressure surrounding Neuj, who was suddenly slammed away by the force of the strike. Neuj skidded across the ground, his body floating slightly above it as he maneuvered his body to regain momentum. His staff swung around as he did so until he finally stopped, barely touching the wall of an incomplete building. At the same time, Timon growled as he swung his greatSword upwards towards Raph, who suddenly parried it to the side with his, spinning in the air and stretching his left hand to grab the back of Timon's armour as he landed behind him. He pulled Timon upwards into the air, uprooting him from the ground with a swooping power and slammed him into the ground with a fierce thud. An eruption of power occurred as a crater formed, descending the two figures into the sandy soil. Neuj hissed bitterly as he swung his staff and pointed it forward, vibrations occurring around him as the rubbles began to rise from their solid state. "10th circle spell; Rock Plain Shots". They spun rigorously, projecting towards Raph like rockets, the air whistling with the force of their movements. Raph looked up as he slammed Timon to the other side of the ground, his sword, an extension of his arm, igniting in a pool of concentrated aura. He swung it through the air, slicing one off and grabbed Timon upwards, slamming his figure into an incoming rock, its size twice as that of both of them combined. Timon groaned in pain, as he was suddenly thrust into the ground again and slammed against another incoming boulder before he was suddenly swept into the air and flung towards Neuj with great precision. He groaned, his body aching from the pain as his body crashed and spun on the ground, rising up as soon as he got next to Neuj. "With me" Neuj instructed and charged forward without waiting for a reply. He stretched his staff forward, twirling its tip around as purple balls of gravity sparked to life around him. It shot out towards Raph within the next second "Master skill; Rapid Gravity shot". Raph jumped out of the way of one, the mass of gravity crashing against the ground and causing a blast that erupted the sand into the sky. His body became like a flowing dragon, skidding across the icy ground as he dodged, and spun out of the way of incoming mass of gravity. His gaze flicked towards Neuj, and a daring smirk formed on his lips as he swung his sword across the air. "You can do better than that!"
