"AHHHH!!!"
Bryan roared as his fist landed on Kin's body and Kin's punch landed on his face.
More... More power!!
Flames and lightning burst out of his fist and it slammed Kin's body. It was followed by sharp winds.
The three elements twisted around and fused together creating an intense reaction that distorted the space around them.
Ohm!
The fluctuation of the fused elements caused ripples in the whole district. It twisted the entire red light district and the whole place turned upside down. The buildings were thrown in the sky.
Boom!
Flames, lightning, and wind spread out like a spider web. The energy reached the peak as could be seen by naked eyes. Three different colors of mana bombarded the red light district.
It expanded before it compressed around Bryan's fist.
Ohm!
Once again, Bryan smashed his fist and the three elements exploded the moment it touch Kin's body.
Kin tried to block it with his hands but his hands quickly turned into ashes. He was stunned when he saw Bryan's power.
Boom!
The compressed energy slammed his body and he was blasted towards the district three. A powerful outburst of energy occurred in district four and it eradicated half of it. But the aftershocks of the explosion broke the entire district.
...
The people who were fighting the forces of the Seven Deadly Sins in district five stopped moving as they felt the fluctuations of energy.
The red light district was part of the district five so they clearly felt the huge wave of energy that erupted in that area.
Boom!
They saw the buildings were thrown in the air and the three elements spread out like roots in that place.
They were shocked and stunned at the same time.
The phenomenon that was happening in that place was extraordinary.
After a few moments, an explosion occurred above it and it went to district four destroying everything in its path.
The seven-circle officer frowned and said, "That's... the [Trinity Elemental Ray]... Only people who had three and above affinities could use that skill."
Although it was a powerful skill, it's still not enough to change the tide of the battle. That skill was weaker than the [Trinity Elemental Ray] that he saw in the past. The user must be an S-rank or an A-rank powerhouse. That level wasn't a problem for him who reached SSS-rank.
Suddenly, he felt that the family heads around him attack him at the same time. While he was distracted they launched an attack on him. It was a good tactic but he wouldn't fall down easily.
...
Lumilia was casting spells to support everyone when the outburst of the three elements occurred. She couldn't help but turned her around and looked at district five.
It was eye-catching. The battle didn't have a barrier around them and it almost destroyed an entire district. Most of the people whose rank was high created a barrier around them to isolate their surge of power. Also, it was to avoid destroying this city.
But the battle in that district wasn't protected by any barrier.
She wondered who's the one fighting an enemy in that direction that forgot to create a barrier. Maybe, that person was alone so he didn't have comrades to protect the surroundings.
She then shook her head and focused her attention on the enemies in front. The enemies were pushing the defense line. Every minute, the enemies would breach their line and enter the field.
The entire battlefield was chaotic. She could observe the field with her eyes and the information that she received was insufficient. It wasn't enough to tell the true state of the battlefield.
"What should I do?"
Lumilia became anxious and the things in her surrounding. She was glancing at the time every second.
Seven minutes... and the reinforcement will arrive.
She glanced at the barrier in the sky and took a deep breath.
"It's time to dispel this barrier... It's do or die now. I hope I made the right choice."
...
Huff... Huff...
Bryan was on his knees while breathing heavily. A large amount of blood came out of his mouth and splattered on the ground.
He didn't know what happened to him but he managed to defeat that man. The man who wanted to take Cluster away.
"Kuh!"
His hands could not handle it anymore. He fell down with a loud "thud" sound.
He didn't have the strength to move his body. He also drained his mana inside his body and couldn't produce it at the moment. He felt intense pain all over his body. It was like someone was drilling every part of his body.
It was so painful but he could ignore it before because his attention was focused on defeating Kin. But now, he could hardly handle this pain.
"Cluster..."
Bryan muttered as he recalled that he had to see if Cluster was fine. The intensity of the battle was greater than he imagined so he didn't know if Cluster was safe.
He tried to stand up but more blood flows out of his pores.
"Damn... Move... I need to... find..."
Suddenly, he felt a presence at his side. He slowly moved his eyes and looked over only to find Kan carrying the unconscious Cluster in his arm.
"I came here to see what happened but I didn't expect that you have the power to defeat one of our executives," Kan said with a serious expression. His body was injured and it seems that he didn't manage to escape the aftershocks unscathed.
After he defeated Brando, he went towards them but found that the battle was intense. The shockwaves from the two were affecting him and the buildings in the area. He had no choice but to defend himself but Bryan's last attack caught him off guard.
"You have a blood of barbarian in your veins." He muttered in a low voice as he glanced at the red strands of Bryan's hair.
Red hair and red eyes were an indication of a barbarian. It was a type of human that possessed overwhelming brute strength and vitality the moment they were born. It was the opposite of magical humans which had incredible mana in their body just like the high elves.
The powerful barbarians built a kingdom called the Barbarian Kingdom hundred years ago. Most of the barbarians lives in that place. It was a holy place for the barbarians on this continent.
But from what he could see, Bryan was not a pure-blood barbarian. He must be a child of an ordinary human and a barbarian.
"Cluster..."
Bryan said as he tried to stretch out his hand. In his condition, he wouldn't be able to save Cluster and he knew it. His vision was turning dark and after a few moments, he lost his consciousness.
"He fainted..." Kan muttered and he glanced at the unconscious Cluster in his arm. "It's unfortunate but I have to leave this place as soon as possible. The scale of this battle already attracted the attention of those powerhouses. I need to hurry up."
He quickly left the area and went to district three. He needed to check if Kin managed to survive but the possibility it was too low. Even an A-rank like Kin wouldn't able to defend against an attack of that scale.
Although the explosion was large, the [Trinity Elemental Ray] still wasn't an AOE skill. It was a skill that focused on pure damage, unlike AOE skills which were focused on wide area damage. He could conclude that all the people in that place below A-rank were annihilated.
...
Yujin, Alice, and other five B-ranks were fighting a six-circle officer. This was their tactic to hold the enemies in bay. For each six-circle officer, ten high-level B-ranks were dispatched to fight them. While one five-circle officer would be handled by ten low-level promoted B-rank. And all of them were equipped with high-grade weapons and armors that further increased their chances of holding the enemies.
They fully utilized their numbers as they used wheel formation to grind their enemies. It was a good strategy for holding their opponent.
In Yujin's group, they only have seven B-ranks including him but it was enough for them. He used his spirit power to fill the lack of their numbers and buffed his allies making them stronger.
He didn't need to hide his power in a situation where he could die at any moment.
"Tsk! Although we B-ranks could hold the stronger ones our overall strength is still below our opponents. Our comrades are dying every second." Yujin clicked his tongue as he glanced at the battles around him.
The four-circle and below officers were killing their comrades below C-rank. At this rate, only them would survive before the reinforcement arrived.
"The three of you should go out and help our comrades," Yujin said to the three B-ranks.
"But with less number, you wouldn't be able to handle this level of opponent."
"Don't worry, we could handle it." Yujin said with a serious expression.
