''Okay, I will be your referee,'' Atlas responded to Grishna.
The Orc woman bead with satisfaction, her tusked grin wide and genuine. Now at ease, Estelle set down her sword and shield, then squared her stance, preparing for the fight ahead.
Grishna, with her robust Orc fra, moved first, throwing a heavy punch at Estelle's torso. Quick and agile, the blonde sidestepped and countered with a sharp jab to the other woman's shoulder.
The two exchanged blows, each hit packed with skill and precision. Atlas couldn't help but smirk as he watched them, their strength and competitive spirits on display. It was a battle of equals, and he admired how far they had co.
Atlas watched the two beautiful won circle each other, eyes locked, the air crackling with intensity. Without warning, Grishna lunged forward, her Orc fist barreling toward Estelle like a sledgehamr.
The blonde reacted instantly, dodging the attacks as she delivered a lightning-quick jab to Grishna's side. The impact was fierce, but the orc rely grinned, her tusks gleaming in the dim light.
She retaliated with a crushing hook aid at Estelle's jaw. Atlas saw the blonde duck just in ti, spinning on her heel to deliver a sharp uppercut that sent Grishna stumbling back a step, her grin never fading.
Fists flew in a blur of raw power and skill, each woman refusing to give an inch. The ground beneath them seed to tremble as their blows collided, the sounds of fists eting flesh echoing like thunder.
The battle raged on; each punch flew without care. Atlas watched as the Orc woman finally ducked under one of Estelle's swings, expertly sweeping the blonde's legs from under her, shocking everyone.
'That was sneaky but good,'
he thought with a smile.
Estelle crashed toward the ground, but not before delivering a crushing, head-ringing punch to Grishna's face. The impact echoed with a resounding clap, causing the Orc to stagger back, dazed but still grinning, as she hit the ground with a thud.
Both won, blood pumping, seed even more determined than before. Atlas continued to watch, and when it beca clear that neither woman could get the upper hand, he joined in with a smirk.
Thanks to Void Step, he appeared behind Grishna before charging a punch, but Estelle shouted, ''Behind you, Grish!''
The Orc woman dived to the side before casting an Earth Bolt that the Void Guard blocked before his punch closed in Grishna, who crossed her arms. When his fist connected, a clap rang out, but she was sent flying into the forest.
A sudden Light Blast slamd into Atlas, launching him through the air. He bounced painfully along the ground before crashing into a giant tree. "Ah, shit, that hurt," he groaned, sliding to the ground in a heap.
Pushing himself up, Atlas quickly drew Nightblade just in ti to deflect an attack from Artemis, her sword gleaming as she lunged with a wicked smile. He parried her strike to the right, skillfully redirecting the force.
He quickly cast Void Wave, a dark surge of energy that blasted into the brunette, sending her hurtling into the depths of the forest. Atlas turned to Estelle and started casting Void Lances at the knight.
The blonde raised her shield just in ti to block the spells that slamd into the tal, forcing Atlas to use Void Step to reappear behind her. With a playful smirk, he smacked her bubble bum, eliciting a surprised yelp.
''You're mine in this life and the next, Estelle,'' he said with a smile.
But before she could react, a Void Blast struck her legs, spinning her through the air like a Ferris Wheel. She finally crashed to the ground with a heavy thud, the impact reverberating through the clearing as she lay montarily dazed.
''That leaves Athyst. Now, where is that pigeon woman?'' Atlas muttered with a smile as a whoosh sliced through the air and a foot connected hard with his face.
A loud boom resonated as he crashed into the ground, the impact sending shockwaves through the earth. Athyst had unleashed a mana-infused kick to his head, and his vision blurred as he felt the force of the blow.
When Atlas ca to, he found himself at the bottom of a crater, his body pressed into the earth by the sheer power of the attack, his head ringing from the impact, 'When did she get that strong,' he thought while standing up.
He shook his head, dusting himself off as he climbed out of the crater, and caught sight of Athyst standing there with a proud smirk on her face. Just as Atlas regained his footing, she dashed confidently toward him.
But he couldn't help but smile, sidestepping the young woman easily and swiftly tripping her. Athyst went headfirst into the crater he had created, landing with a soft thud. She lay there, dazed but still wearing a silly grin, her pretty features illuminated by the sunlight.
It was a comical sight, and despite the intensity of their battle, Atlas couldn't help but chuckle, ''Are you okay, Athyst?''
''I'm fine! Just laying here admiring the sky,'' a muffled voice replied.
Suddenly, a primal instinct urged Atlas to move, but he was too late. A massive white bear barreled into Atlas, sending him flying. Dazed, he hit the ground hard, only for Nulia to chase after him, pinning him down as his head spun from the impact.
The Frostbear growled inches from his face, but Atlas managed to smile through the chaos. Drawing upon his power, he launched his strongest attack, ''Void Smash.''
A brilliant blue light erupted from his strike, sending the bear crashing into a nearby tree with a resounding thud. But Nulia quickly recovered, springing back to her feet as if the attack was a scratch and lunging at him.
She clamped her powerful jaws around his legs, and Atlas scread in pain as she bit down. That's when he heard Grishna's voice, ''She's enraged! How the fuck did he manage to do that.''
Nulia was far from kind; she slamd Atlas into the ground, her teeth piercing his flesh as blood oozed from the wounds, fueling the bear's rage even further. Gritting his teeth against the pain, he pulled back before delivering a powerful Void Punch.
A loud boom echoed through the air as the attack landed, forcing Nulia to release her grip. Atlas was thrown to the ground with a jarring thud, but the Frostbear was on him again before he could catch his breath.
Just then, Estelle appeared like a flash of light, charging in with a Shield Bash aid squarely at Nulia. But the enraged bear barely flinched, her wild eyes locked onto Atlas, disregarding Estelle's attack's impact.
The battle had escalated into chaos, and the heartbreaking reality set in: Nulia had utterly lost control. She swung her massive claw with a primal roar, swatting Estelle away like a re distraction.
Atlas barely had ti to react before the woman turned her full fury on him. Her claws raked through the air with terrifying speed, tearing into his flesh and leaving deep, agonizing gashes.
Pain shot through him, but it was Nulia's unrecognizable eyes that shattered his heart. This was not the woman he once knew; she was a storm of rage, consud by instinct. But that's when he sensed sothing that caught him off guard,
'Chaos is in control of her!'
Before Atlas could react, Nulia lunged at him with a ferocity that took his breath away. Her claws raked across his body, slicing through armor as if it were re fabric, and he felt the searing pain as she tore into his flesh, muscle, and even bone.
Each brutal strike felt like an eternity, the agony overwhelming as blood sprayed across the ground, soaking the earth and staining it a deep crimson. Atlas gasped, his vision blurring as he struggled to breathe.
That's when he realized he might die as his life ebbed away, and everything ca crashing down around him. Desperation clawed at his heart. Nulia was relentless, her eyes wild with fury, entirely consud by the beast within.
With a primal snarl, she clamped her jaws around the back of Atlas's neck, lifting him effortlessly off the ground. She slamd him down repeatedly, treating him like a rag doll, the sickening sound of impact echoing through the air.
The sight was horrifying, and the other won who had rushed to the scene watched in shock and disbelief, their hearts pounding as they witnessed it. They could only stand frozen, torn between their desire to help and the terror of what Nulia had beco.
Grishna lost her mind and charged while casting dozens of Earth Bolts and Razorwind Blases that slamd into the enraged bear. Nulia swiped at the Orc woman, who ducked under it before unleashing a fully charged Iron Fist.
When her fist connected with their friend, she was sent flying back, but not before a swipe opened up Grishna's stomach. Estelle quickly rushed in, grabbed her, and dragged her away as she scread, ''I will heal her! Secure Atlas now, or he will die!''
