"You dealt with the Wysteria squad—now face the Lunaria squad," Grey said calmly, snapping his fingers as wind swords surged forward. The others charged in behind them.
In an instant, chaos erupted. Grey's wind swords shot forward at trendous speed, heading straight for the Executioner. In response, he conjured a black hole, sucking them in effortlessly.
Charlotte followed up, launching about twenty dense water balls toward the man. He simply increased the gravity around them, forcing the orbs to crash into the ground and splatter.
"Go!" Scarlet shouted, launching fireballs alongside her dragon. The barrage overwheld the Executioner, forcing him on the defensive.
Sensing the rising threat, he gravity-stepped away, appearing as if he blinked. The attacks missed and scorched the ground for ters.
He reappeared in another spot and compressed gravity around Scarlet, slamming her to the ground. Her dragon dispelled.
But before the Executioner could finish her off, the ground beneath shifted. Dante charged in, earth swirling around his arm.
"Greg, move!" Grey shouted.
Lightning crackled as Greg dashed in, appearing in front of the Executioner and swinging a pure bolt of lightning. The man dodged and slamd a foot into Greg's abdon, sending him skidding back.
Dante ca from the side, his earth-covered fist slamming into the Executioner's face. His head snapped back, but he recovered quickly and tried to headbutt Dante—only for a soft breeze to yank him back.
Ten wind swords flew at the Executioner from Lyra, but he summoned another black hole to absorb them.
Before he could react, water whips lashed out—but slabs of earth rose up in ti to block them. Dante smashed the ground, shattering the slabs.
Greg reappeared from the side, leapt, twisted midair, and slamd his leg into the Executioner's face, sending him tumbling. Whips of fla wrapped around the man's legs, restricting his movents and searing his flesh.
"Yo! Eat lightning!" Grey yelled, snapping his fingers as a dozen lightning arrows slamd into the Executioner. Electricity crackled, locking up his muscles and forcing a pained grimace from his lips.
"Eat my fist!" a voice barked from behind him—Dante. His earth-enforced punch connected hard, sending the Executioner flying again, shockwaves rumbling through the ground and air.
"What… what is going on? The Lunaria squad is treating the Executioner like a rag doll? How?" Ryan mumbled. Though the pressure on him eased slightly, it was still too heavy to lift himself.
"Don't forget about !" Grey shouted, kicking off the air. A bright light surrounded him as lightning boots and gauntlets ford, doubling his speed.
He rocketed forward and slamd his lightning-clad fists into the Executioner, crashing him into the ground. Bones cracked. Blood sprayed.
Grey flipped backward and landed beside his teammates as they watched the Executioner slowly rise, blood staining his robe and dripping from his mouth. But a smile still played on his lips.
"Is that all? A combined attack, all for what? A trickle of blood?" he asked mockingly.
"Just shut the fuck up!" Dante roared, hurling an earth spear. It zood at the Executioner's throat, but he caught it mid-air and crushed it with gravity.
"Is th—" he began, but a howl of wind cut him off. A tornado slamd into him, hurling him into a nearby building which collapsed from the impact.
"Wait… I didn't do that," Grey said, glancing at Lyra in the sky and then down to the ground. A student stood there—bleeding badly.
Green hair streaked with crimson, face sared with blood and dirt, one hand mangled—Lex walked forward with an annoyed expression.
"That was payback for you smashing
into a building," Lex growled.
The Executioner tossed rubble aside and stood, blood trickling down his head.
"Impressive! But you could've done more!" he snarled, gravity-stepping behind Lex and conjuring another black hole—
Bang!
A brown-haired figure appeared in front of the Executioner, gauntlet crackling with lightning.
"Peek a boo!" Grey grinned and punched the Executioner, sending him skidding again, blood dripping from his nose.
A massive fireball flew in from behind, but was imdiately sucked into another black hole.
"Okay, I think I've played with you long enough," the Executioner said, clenching his fists. For several ters, gravity intensified, crushing everything.
The students felt it instantly—as if mountains were pressing down on them. Craters ford under their bodies. Ryan twitched weakly.
"I warned you to stay off," the Executioner muttered, raising the pressure on nearby buildings until they crumbled into massive boulders.
Then, he lessened the gravity, causing the boulders to float above the students.
Now, twelve giant boulders hovered above Grey, Ryan, the Lunaria squad, and even the unconscious. Grey twitched in anger, his head trembling under the imnse force.
"I'm sick of you all. You've stalled our attack, so if I'm to lose, I'll wipe out powerful support from the kingdom," the Executioner said, smirking.
'Damn! His magic is the worst matchup for … I can't even move! How am I a captain if I can't protect my squad… or that dingus's squad?'
Ryan thought, gritting his teeth.
'Crap! I knew this was a bad idea! I'm going to die a ridiculous death!'
Grey thought, trying to summon wind—but the pressure dispersed it.
'I can't believe we're going to lose… right here, right now,'
Scarlet thought, teeth clenched. 'Damn it all!'
"Goodbye you all. I want you all to know that your efforts today managed to stop the war as I will be retreating back after you all get squashed." the executioner said and then with a snap of his fingers, the suspended boulders in the air accelerated forward towards the humans laying on the floor.
'Damn it! Soone help these kids!' Ryan scread in his mind.
'Can't believe I'm dying for this kingdom… against my wishes. Curses!' Grey cried in his thoughts.
"Sheesh. How useless can the new generation be?" a voice rang out. "Even a captain is helpless."
Suddenly, the boulders stopped mid-air—it felt like ti was paused for the boulders but no, it wasn't that…
Underneath the boulders, shadows could be seen rippling around it as if it was a coating of so kind and then instantly, the boulders disappeared.
Not broken, not shattered, not destroyed but gone as if deleted from existence
A figure walked forward.
He stood tall at 6'2
