Souta faced the three people at the same time. Although he just experienced several battles in the past few hours, he was surprised to see that had an advantage against three versus one.
'Isn't these guys weaker than Witch Clan Leader...?' He said inwardly as he swung his sword horizontally.
[Crimson Moon]!
A red energy blade flew out and caused a huge cut on the chest of one of the three people. Blood spurted out as he tried to jump away but Souta chased after him.
Swoosh! Swoosh!
The other two pounced forward to protect their allies but Souta simply shoot concentrated [Bestrou] at them before using [Crimson Moon] once again.
Boom!!
Then, he tried to pull them with gravity to slow down their movements.
Boom!!
He was dominating the three people from Red Matter Association. These three were weaker. They were weaker than the people he fought in the Fone Kingdom and the Aekr Republic. He even guessed that three peak S-rank experts would be enough to defeat one of them.
The three people could only defend against his attack. They didn't even have a chance to counterattack him as they didn't have enough firepower.
"Too weak!!"
Souta arrived in front of the three as a huge amount of best feram swirled around the blade of the vajra sword. In the next moment, he swung it down with all of his might.
Boom!!
He stood in front of the explosion before he glanced at his surroundings. The other casters didn't even make a move even though he was thrashing these three.
They thought that they were completely hidden. What they didn't know was that Souta could sense their location with his [Crimson Perception] and could see through their [Invisibility] with [Galaxy Eyes].
Well, the mana of his enemies was already drained from the beginning so they couldn't properly use their spells. After all, they just created thousands of golems and it drained their mana pool.
'They didn't even know how to use [Element Drive]...' Souta said in his mind as he shrugged his shoulder before turning back his attention on the three.
It's not like everyone could master [Element Drive]. Speaking of [Element Drive], he couldn't help but remember the person he met before.
Alexander. The man who will become an emperor in the future.
When he looked at Alexander, he found that he was only at peak S-rank but there were elemental seeds inside it. It means that Alexander had mastered the second level of [Element Drive], Integration.
Souta smirked, 'That man will be insanely strong once he breaks his Shackles.'
He moved his feet and slowly approached the three people. The three people were injured as blood was dripping from their mouths and arms.
"Let me end this... If your other comrades aren't gonna help you then you will die." Souta said to them with a cold look. He could feel that there were warriors in the vicinity. Banni must've dispatched them to assist if the other people of Red Matter appear.
...
Most of the Grain Leaders were observing the battle at the rear. The warriors didn't have a problem with all these golems so they only watched the battle from the sidelines to preserve their energy.
The strongest golems were only equivalent to Two Shackles. Squad Leaders were enough to handle those golems so they didn't need to move at all.
Carmel, leader of the Tenth Grain War, was watching Souta's battle.
"The mages that created these golems are hiding around. Souta is doing a great job. I'm sure that other mages will appear soon." He said in a low voice.
The Grain Leader beside him added, "There's probably more than fifty mages here considering the number of the golems that they created."
"Oh, that monster killed one of the three... This will make it easier for him to kill the other two. Now, let's see if the other mages will appear." Another Grain Leader said.
"Our warriors already destroyed half of the golems. It would take them five more minutes before they completely wiped out the army of golems." Another Grain Leader said.
Suddenly, they felt chills run down their spines. No, every warrior felt it as they opened their eyes widely. They turned their heads and were stupefied.
They saw black clouds approaching them from above. Thunder was roaring and lightning was crackling around the clouds.
Several silhouettes could be seen inside the clouds. They didn't even bother to hide their extreme aura that made the entire atmosphere cold.
Banni narrowed his eyes while staring at the scene.
"They are here..." Shirley muttered with a gloomy look.
The unknown warrior beside the two didn't say anything.
Banni turned his head and he saw Grain Leader Micah and Servas walking in their direction.
The two of them glanced at the unknown warrior before they asked, "Have you felt it?"
"Yeah, I can feel their aura." Banni nodded as the two stood beside him.
"It's the aura of executives..." Servas said.
"Three of them..." Micah said gloomily.
Servas was the leader of the Second Grain War while Micah was the leader of the Third Grain Wise. Both of them were strong enough to stand at the top of the Third Set. They were also familiar with the aura of the executives as the two of them were one of the warriors with Vandal when he fought the Red Matter Association years ago.
Both of them were warriors that didn't join the battle in the Aekr Republic. They were outside the barrier along with the other top Grain Leaders. If they were inside then they wouldn't let Banni fight two executives alone. They would work with him to finish the battle faster.
"The worst is that I could sense Larry's presence..." Banni clenched his fists.
"It's a problem..." Servas muttered.
If Jayden the one that Banni fought before was the top 2 executive, then Larry was the top 1 executive. He's the strongest executive in the Red Matter Association.
A yellow beam suddenly came out of the dark clouds as it flew in their direction.
Swoosh!
Banni and the others opened their eyes widely as they jumped away from their position. They didn't expect that the strongest executive would appear at this time.
Boom!!
A powerful explosion shook the entire ground as smoke and flame spread out in the entire area.
"Rahahaha!!"
A maniacal laugh came from the dark clouds. The silhouettes inside slowly stepped forward as they looked down at the warriors on the ground.
There were a total of twenty-five people and three of them were executives that only the top warriors could rival.
"I will enjoy killing all these warriors!"
A tall man with a scar on his face said with a wide grin. He was standing at the center of the group and his name was Larry, the top 2 executives.
His body was covered in pieces of armor. In his right hand, there was a huge war axe with a dragon coiling around its handle. It was his signature weapon that made him dominate the warriors in the past battles.
"Before that... We must kill Banni and the rest of the strong warriors."
He turned his eyes on Banni's figure. One of the warriors in the Third Set that could give him trouble. Unfortunately, Banni was exhausted from fighting Jayden.
"Let's go!"
His figure shot forward. He wanted to kill this man as soon as possible.
Servas, Micah, and Shirley's energy burst as they charged forward. The other Grain Leaders followed the three from behind.
Boom!!
A strong force of the Red Matter Association had appeared. They were stronger than the experts last time.
Souta glanced at the sky. The battle between the top forces had begun. Red Matter sent three executives and twenty three other people that could rival ordinary Grain Leaders.
"I need to finish this as soon as possible."
He muttered as he looked around. He just finished killing the three mages so it's time to kill the others that were hiding.
Snap!
Souta snapped his fingers. Blood came out of the three corpses and it flowed above him.
He took a deep breath and shouted, "I will mark the enemy's mages. Take them out as soon as possible."
His voice echoed throughout the battlefield. The warriors turned their heads as they heard his voice. Then, they saw blood flowing in mid-air before it stopped in different directions.
"That...?" One of the Squad Leaders was surprised.
"Well, let's trust our fellow warriors. It's time to show these guys the power of the First Grain War squads." A two-meter tall man with a pair of bear ears said with a smile.
The Third, Second, and First grains were different from the lower Grains. The basic requirement in joining their group was that a warrior needed to break at least one shackle. It means that all of them were at the Shackled Realm with One Shackle expert as the weakest.
The Squad Leaders of these Grains could even rival ordinary Grain Leaders. They were the top forces of the Third Set.
