Back in the day, Timon was known for many things. A tyrant, a thief, a fake knight, but all of those ca to nothing to his Nickna once he got his Transcendent Skill.
Timon of a hundred n. A man said to possess the strength of a hundred n. Of course, this was boosted at least thrice by his strongest Master Skill, Gladiator Aura.
A boost skill that increases his overall physical abilities by at least three of its original.
He was a powerful man, a strong-willed individual with a goal, though….he stumbled upon ice. Not just any ice, the Sword Ice King.
Neuj suddenly sprung up, his neck still clasped in Raph's grasp with his hands stretched forward.
"Transcendent Skill! GRAVITY TRIUMPH!"
An unparalleled force of gravity descended upon Raph like a mountain as a sudden yelp escaped his lips.
The ground shook and trembled, sand digging a sinkhole in itself as Raph was pulled to his knees with a magnetic thud.
"Timon! Now!"
The sudden adrenaline infused Neuj scread out at the top of his lungs and Timon smashed his way through the debris, a scream erupting from the top of his lungs as the sand trembled to his decree
In the span of a second, Timon's, a hundred of them in his likelihood and image, jumped out from the sand, their war screams sending shivers through the skies as they charged forward in unison.
"Kill the Blind Swordsman!"
"Kill!!!" they chorused, their feet stumping the icy ground into oblivion as they rushed towards Raph, stuck under the influence of the gravity force.
'Interesting!' Raph scread out within him. 'Let's get up a notch then! RESONANCE!'
Within his body were the aura stars and the mana circles, vibrating and spinning to his skilful control as new-found energy was poured into his veins.
The power surged from within before exploding out of him in a whisk of blue energy, pulsating with his strength.
The gravity alleviated causing him to stand on one knee.
By now, the crowd of Timon's infused in golden energy had gotten to him, their screams filling the skies as they jumped towards him, ignoring the plight of the gravity force.
Neuj was forced under the weight of it all, watching as heaps of human bodies laid themselves atop one another, their fists stretched out for blood with a rushed glee.
'It's over, Raffaelo Jun' he thought, when a bizarre cold suddenly swept him into shock.
He breathed out slightly, his eyes dilated as he glanced at Raph in shock, the sickening cold creeping up his body like cancer.
It felt like his very organs were being frozen to dust grounding from the pressure within, and it was made evident from the blood that oozes out from his orifice.
It was then he heard it, Raph's final words to them.
"Everything is Ice…..Absolute Zero".
A gust of ice surged out of Raph like a tsunami, perating through the unsuspecting skins of the humans around him. It spread like a thick fog and moved like cancer, rushing around him in a frantic effort to reach an absolute freeze.
Everything was forced to a stop, their bodies cracking to the intensity of the cold as they were turned to ice, frozen in place by Raph's command.
This occurred in seconds, consuming the loud cries of Timon and the protests of Neuj, leaving a cold, malevolent silence in its wake.
Ti ticked by and Raph finally moved from his position. His simple action of standing up to His feet was all the force needed to disperse the ice sculptures into ice grains, scattering their figures across the sand.
'It is over'.
He thought when a female shriek pierced through his ears.
He glanced at his side, and there he found Rafi screaming out her lungs, tears in her eyes as she charged at him with a dagger.
"I'll kill you!" She scread as she rushed into the crater, attempting to close the distance when her frantic effort was cut short by a sudden jab of pain through her abdon.
She froze, pain perating through her body as she glanced down, her tears freezing from the cold.
The dagger dropped, and so did her hands as a long ice spire stuck through her like a needle through cloth.
Her body was frozen in place, scattering into the air soon after with the wave of the wind.
Raph stared at it, his cold gaze regaining so of its warmth as the energy within him dissipated.
'Using Absolute Zero while in resonance is…..strategically not ant for subduing'.
If he was going to subdue, he would need to keep them alive but his skill didn't really bother about that.
With a sigh, he glanced around, satisfaction written on his face when a portal opened next to him.
"You're done, Lord Raffaelo".
Raph turned towards Ziza, a curious gaze etched on his face. He stared at her face, a nagging question ensuing within him before he said.
"Yeah, I forgot to ask. Why do you look like ?"
Ziza flinched, turning her gaze away as a slight red blushed her cheeks.
'Wh–Why–Why is she blushing?' he stamred in startelent.
"Well, of course….that would be because…." She said, anticipation hanging in the air as she stopped mid-sentence. She glanced at Raph, turned her gaze away shyly and said. "....I am your Dao companion".
A brief silence bung in the air, with Ziza glancing at him shyly.
Raph's expression froze for a second, confusion etched on his expression.
'...Of all the bullshits….'
He thought when a choked laugh escaped her lips.
'.....did she just laugh?'
"I'm sorry for startling you like that, Lord Raffaelo. I presu we just happened to look alike…perhaps it was fate that brought us to work together this ti".
Raph stared at her for a mont, a smirk forming on his lips as he looked away. "Yeah, you may be right".
He said with a nod. "What are Elsie and the others up to? How's the operation going?"
"Well, since you've taken care of the leaders, Everything should be in order, but the Rugged Coin has been completely subdued by Elsie, and the Calla Lily clan has been defeated by our surprise tactic. They would have handled the others by now. The Drifting Wheels Gang has chosen to withdraw themselves, and I personally took care of the Watchers".
Raph contemplated in silence for a mont. "That's about everything then?"
"Yes, my Lord".
"Enough of the Lord"
Ziza remained silent for a mont, but a smile soon ford on my lips. "As you wish, Raffaelo".
"Just Raph is fine. Also, I've helped my end of the bargain….I expect the sa".
"Of course, the cat guild with all its subordinates are now under your command".
Raph raised a brow at her statent. "You're….giving your clan to ? And your subordinates…?" He asked. Their initial goal was for them to help them in place, but it seed like Ziza had other plans.
"I assu Safara wishes to follow you back. I may not know why, but I think having a mber of the twelve households as our Head would be beneficial for us" she replied.
Raph stared at her blankly, an amused laugh escaping his lips. "So be it. I will need your help when the ti cos". He walked up to the portal next to Ziza. "I assu you will begin the cleanup?"
They had made a ss of the town after their battle, after all.
"Of course".
"Well then, I'll leave you to it. Let Elsie know I'm in our room, resting…." He said before stopping at the portal. "We leave first thing in the morning. We have overstayed our welco, long enough".
"Yes, My L-Raph". She muttered, bowing slightly.
Raph scoffed, walking through her portal before it disappeared.
Ziza had already set the coordinates so he would arrive in his room,
With the disappearance of the portal, Ziza glanced up, a fog of darkness rising in the air in the distance.
She recognized it as Elsie's darkness ability.
'It seems like she recently unlocked her abilities….we were lucky to have them this ti, we must keep in touch'.

Just as how we have influential connections in high society, they have powerful figures. Having powerful allies with prominent nas, even amongst high nobles, would be a boost to their prestige….directly or indirectly.
'It wouldn't hurt to stick with them for a while'.
Just then, two figures rushed up to her, their laboured breathing, a testant to the battle they were going through.
"What is it, rthy, Cartwyn?" she asked as they dropped on one knee in her presence.
"The Calla Lily has been subdued, though the numbers seem to be giving us issues. So of them are insistent on resisting us".
Ziza sighed, her gaze lingering in the sky. "Despite Neuj's bizarre goal, he was genuinely a good man who showed love and care for those won".
She said, her gaze slowly easing up.
"They will continue to resist, so let co along. We'll have to physically subdue them whether they like it or not".
She walked past them, the two girls standing soon after and walking after her.
"Let's clean this all up and have a good after-party when we're done".
