Chapter 259: 259 – Party Assembling [3]
SWISH—
Raye took out his sword, [Nyx], and held it firmly in his right hand.
Fwip-
Lycus clenched his red dual daggers.
And Devin—
TONK-
He clashed his fists together, his gauntlets producing a metallic clank in doing so.
The three of them just silently stared at each other, the morning wind breeze past their bodies. They didn’t do nor say anything.
Then, after a few seconds—
BAM—!!!
The three of them kicked off the ground and dashed forward to the middle of the arena at the same time! They gave no signal or whatever, they just all unanimously decided to start the match right then!
FWISH-
The three of them immediately appeared at the center of the training ground, but… Raye was a bit faster than them.
(Lycus was second, Devin was third.)
And Raye, arriving first in the middle, he planted his right foot in front of him and twisted his body! Then with all of his might—
SWISH—
He slashed horizontally! It was fast and powerful!
TINK-
Lycus just raised his two daggers and used it to deflect Raye’s blade, but he didn’t stop it.
So now, Raye’s blade is heading toward Devin’s head!
“HUP!”
CLANG!
But Devin blocked it with his gauntlet, he raised his right arm and stopped Raye’s blade!
And without missing a beat—
FWOOSH—!
He countered with a straight with his left fist!
SWISH-
Then at the same time, Lycus swung his right dagger horizontally, aiming at Raye’s stomach!
“…”
Raye saw the two attacks coming at him, but with just a calm face—
FWISH-
He stepped back, Lycus’ dagger barely missed him!
But now Devin’s left fist was closing in his face!
SWISH—
In response to that, Raye rotated his whole body to the left, away from Devin!
SHH-
Devin’s fist just grazed his cheek, though he didn’t pay any attention to that, with his spin—
SLASH!
He quickly transitioned into a horizontal slash again!
“…!”
“…”
Though, the two saw it coming and both ducked down on time to avoid it.
FWISH-
Lycus took that opportunity to launch a sudden stab toward Devin beside him!
TINK-
But Devin deflected it with his right gauntlet!
Then, at the same time—
BAM!
The three of them dashed away from each other!
They created some distance and stopped again for a while.
Swoosh~
The tension was heavier now, the sound of their weapons still ringing in their heads.
The air—
It was sharp.
“…”
“…”
“…”
All three of them had serious faces. None of them underestimated the other, not even for a second.
Lycus tightened his daggers, twirling them once in his hands.
Devin adjusted his stance, planting his feet firmly, fists raised in front of him.
And Raye… he just exhaled slowly, lowering [Nyx] slightly, ready for the next move.
The silence stretched.
Then—
FWISH-!
Lycus suddenly disappeared from his spot!
He dashed low, almost blending into the ground, his daggers aiming for Raye’s legs!
But—
CLANG!
Raye instantly angled his sword downward, sparks flying as metal clashed!
BAM-!
At the same time, Devin rushed in from the side, throwing a heavy hook toward Raye’s ribs!
“Kh—!”
Raye quickly tilted his body sideways, the gauntlet barely scraping his shirt, but he had no room to counter now.
SHING!
Lycus’ other dagger flew toward his neck!
But—
FWISH—!
Raye tilted his head down, the blade slicing nothing but air, his hair fluttering from the near cut.
And in that same moment—
CRACK—!
Devin’s knee shot up, smashing against Raye’s stomach!
“GHH—!”
Raye’s body bent slightly, but before Devin could capitalize—
SWOOSH—!!!
Raye kicked the ground hard and leaped back, flipping once in the air before landing on his feet several meters away!
“…Tch.”
He wiped the corner of his mouth with his thumb. A faint smirk appeared.
Lycus and Devin regrouped without speaking, their bodies moving naturally, like they already understood each other.
“They’re fighting each other, but they’re targeting me first if they have a chance… What a pain.”
Raye muttered calmly.
He raised [Nyx] again. His eyes didn’t waver.
Devin rolled his shoulders, fists glowing faintly with aura now.
Lycus’ daggers glimmered red under the sunlight.
The three of them stood once again—
FWISH—
Then Lycus dashed forward first this time, his daggers flashing red under the sunlight!
TINK! TANG! CLANG!
He unleashed a flurry of quick slashes at Raye, one after another!
But—
SWOOSH— TING!
Raye’s blade moved like flowing water, deflecting every strike with sharp precision. Sparks scattered with every collision!
TINK-! TINK-!
Lycus’ arms blurred, his movements getting faster, but Raye didn’t flinch.
At that moment—
BAM!
Devin suddenly shot forward from their side!
B O O M—!
His heavy gauntlet smashed against the ground where Raye and Lycus stood just a second ago, sending dust flying everywhere!
CRACK—!
The ground split open from the sheer force of that punch!
“…Tch.”
Raye leapt backward, sliding a few steps to regain his balance. But the instant his feet touched the ground—
SWISH—
Lycus was already behind him, daggers raised high!
FWOOSH—!
But—
CLANG!
Raye spun and caught both daggers mid-air with [Nyx]!
The blades screeched against each other—
SSHHK—
Lycus gritted his teeth, pushing down with all his strength.
Then—
BAM!
Devin’s massive fist came flying from the left again!
Raye clicked his tongue—
FWISH—
He shifted his weight and let go of Lycus’ right dagger, twisting his sword just enough—
CLANG!
To redirect the incoming fist away from his face!
The force still sent a shockwave through his arm, but Raye didn’t falter.
Instead—
He kicked forward!
BAM!
His foot slammed into Lycus’ chest, sending him flying backward!
“Guhk—!”
Lycus rolled on the ground, but quickly got back up, his daggers spinning in his hands.
Devin, however, didn’t stop.
BAM! BAM! BAM!
He unleashed a rapid barrage of punches at Raye, his gauntlets glowing faintly with mana!
Each strike shook the air itself!
But Raye—
SWISH— TONK— C L A N G!
He weaved through the storm of fists with sharp, clean movements, his sword deflecting when needed, his body twisting like he was dancing on the edge of death.
Then—
His eyes narrowed.
‘Got you.’
He saw an opening.
“…!”
He stepped in!
SLASH—!
And his blade cut diagonally upward toward Devin’s torso!
Devin barely managed to cross his arms—
TIIIING—!!!
The impact sent him sliding backward several meters, his boots carving lines into the ground.
And before Devin could steady himself—
FWISH—
Lycus came back into the fray, his daggers glinting, aiming for Raye’s exposed back!
“UGH…! YOU GUYS ARE ANNOYING!”
Raye exclaimed, feeling the attack coming behind him.
