Never in his life had General Revon suffered under the hands of a mere Apostle.
As someone of his Rank, he could easily crush hundreds of Apostles if he wished for it. But, the Half-Elf he was fighting against was using tactics that he never thought was possible.
Although the attacks that he received only made him suffer minor injuries, the damage in his soul was getting worse with each time he was exposed to Lux's Abyssal Touch, which could pass through any defenses, attacking his soul directly.
"You brat, don't let me get my hands on you!" General Revon said through gritted teeth as he neared the location of the hidden cave where Lux was currently staying.
However, just as he was getting near his destination, he felt a familiar strong pull once again, forcing him to veer off his path.
"Damn you!" General Revon glared to his right side and saw a familiar baby Blue Slime, which he had poked a few days ago. Back then, he thought that this particular Slime was harmless and would be of no threat to him.
But now, after experiencing Lux's annoying delaying tactics, the General was no longer in the mood to show any mercy to a low-ranked Monster, even if it was a baby.
General Revon's eyes turned bloodshot because right in front of the Baby Slime, dozens of red-steel balls were scattered, making him curse out loud.
"I'll kill you!" General Revon's blood-curdling roar was similar to that of a beast's that was about to annihilate everything in its path.
Even so, Eiko's clone held her ground and even spat a bone bomb in front of her, in addition to tossing another red-steel ball it had just created, adding to the number of bombs that were lying in wait for the Ranker, whose lips were already bleeding from viciously biting them out of anger.
"Boom Boom Bakugan!" Eiko's clone shouted as General Revon swung his sword down to obliterate it completely.
Just like what happened before, another explosion erupted, and this time, General Revon staggered a bit because he suffered another injury to his soul, making his vision spin for a brief moment.
Just before the Ranker was able to regain his senses, three Dragon Breaths hit him from three different directions.
One was from the sky, and the other two were from his left and right sides, making him unable to dodge them.
Clearly, these attacks were synchronized to hit him just as soon as he was engulfed in the explosions from the Blast Bombs and Skeleton Bombs that Eiko's clone had created.
General Revon skidded a few meters away from where he stood. Currently, his arms were crossed in front of his body in a defensive position, shielding his chest and head from the Dragon Breaths that had just hit him.
A moment later, blood spilled at the corner of the General's lips. For the first time, he had received a serious injury from the combined assault on his body.
Due to his soul being injured, he was unable to raise his barrier in time and got hit directly by the three Dragon Breaths, which further damaged his soul.
Suddenly, General Revon swung his sword backwards, deflecting two throwing knives that were hurled at his back.
After the Ammarian General deflected the throwing knives, he jumped away from where he stood and evaded a blood spray that came from above his head.
The place where he initially stood melted as if it was corroded by a strong acid, causing white smoke to rise from its surface.
Sid immediately flapped his wings and flew away as his bleeding palm healed at a very fast rate.
When he was reborn as a Dhamphir, Sid gained many new abilities like Superhuman Strength, Superhuman Speed, Flight, Enhanced Senses, Eidetic Memory, Superhuman Stamina, Fast Regeneration, and a few other things that made him several times stronger than his past self before he died in Lux's hands.
But, among Sid's new abilities was Blood Magic.
He could use his blood to empower a spell, transform into a weapon, as well as other Blood Arts that would make an Anemic Person shake their head in disgust just by looking at him.
The reason why he was able to accompany the Draconian Kobold, Cadmus, in the Savage Lands, was due to his unique ability that allowed him to match the explosive abilities of an E-Ranker.
General Revon was a C Ranker, which meant that he was many times stronger than Sid. However, after suffering several Soul Injuries, the General's reaction time had significantly slowed, allowing Sid to use sneak attacks against the weakened General.
However, even though he was confident that he was currently faster than his target, he still didn't dare to linger close to General Revon. He knew that one sword strike from a C-Ranker was enough to cut him in half, no matter how sturdy and durable his body was.
"You annoying insects!" General Revon roared as he raised his sword high up in the air. "Die!"
Suddenly, a powerful gust of air spun around the General, creating a powerful tornado, uprooting all the trees that were hundreds of meters around him.
Scarlet transformed herself into her Cambion Form and flew away to prevent herself from getting sucked up by the giant tornado that was slowly getting bigger and bigger.
"Pull back!" Bedivere shouted as he ordered his mount, who was desperately flapping its wings to escape the powerful suction that was pulling it towards the tornado.
"None of you will escape!" General Revon's roar reverberated in the surroundings as the tornado's size increased drastically.
Truth be told, the General was having difficulty moving his body, so he decided to create a tornado as a means to defend and attack the annoying insects that were coming at him from all sides.
He was beyond angry right now and was already going all-out to ensure that the pesky flies buzzing around him would be torn to shreds.
Just as he expected, Lux's and Eiko's last remaining clones were slowly being pulled towards the tornado.
The Half-Elf's clone had summoned a Skeleton Sword, and dug it on the ground to prevent himself from being sucked in, but it was only a matter of time before he and Eiko's clone would be torn to shreds by the powerful winds that were as sharp as knives.
Bedivere, Sid, and Scarlet were also unable to fly away from the vicinity and slowly lost their ground with each passing second.
Just as all of them were about to reach their limits, a Giant Skeleton Cannonball flew towards the tornado, and behind it were two Dragon Breaths, pushing it from behind, and increasing its speed.
A moment later, the tornado twisted erratically before swelling in size. It didn't take long before an explosion was heard from within its center, and the tornado was dispersed completely, allowing Lux's subordinates to break free from its pull.
"Now, I finally know where you are hiding," General Revon spat a mouthful of blood as he narrowed his eyes in the direction where the two Dragon Breaths had come from.
His vision zoomed in on the Half-Elf and the blue baby slime, whose mouths were currently smoking due to attacks that they had just unleashed.
Since General Revon was unable to properly move his body, the only thing he could do was channel his strength and launch a concentrated long distance attack, in order to kill the Half-Elf where he stood.
"Time for you to die," General Revon muttered as he summoned a spear in his hands.
Wind magic started to gather from its tip as he prepared to unleash his strongest attack, which he originally planned to use against General Carran should an opportunity present itself.
However, right now, he wanted nothing more than to kill the Half-Elf, so he threw caution to the wind and prepared to throw his spear at the Necromancer who made him suffer repeatedly.
Just as he was about to unleash his attack, his sixth sense kicked in, telling him that a danger that could potentially end his life was coming from behind him.
General Revon's body moved subconsciously and used the spear in his hand to deflect a blue spear that was only two meters away from hitting his back.
A metallic ring spread in the surroundings, as the Ammarian General's skidded a few meters from where he stood.
The spear that had attacked him from behind flew towards the air and returned to its owner, which made General Revon's face turn grim.
"So, you're finally here," General Revon wiped the bloodstain at the corner of his lips as he looked at the Yelan General who was charging in his direction, mounted on the back of a Giant Black Bear.
"Yes," General Carran replied. "I have come to take your head and end your tyranny once and for all."
