The one who had landed a punch on Asmodeus' face was none other than Leavealone. He used the Nine-Yin Abyssal Finger to pierce Asmodeus' lightning shield, before using Tiger Punch to land the hit.
He was in white tiger emperor form. The form was buffed with both white tiger claws and white tiger rage. Flas enshrouded his body. On his back was a pair of flaming wings. This was not the wings from a wings tool. Both the flas covering his body and the wings were Suzaki's flas.
Leavealone didn't waste the opportunity when Asmodeus was still dazed by the attack. His body spun at high speed as he perford another martial art he learned from Domon, the Whirlwind Kick. Suzaki's flas followed his movent, creating a flaming hurricane that both empowered the martial art's power and increased the damage it inflicted. Asmodeus had to take another step back as his heads received repeated kicks.
"Enough!" Asmodeus hollered. A shockwave erupted from him. The force repelled Leavealone, stopping his assault.
Asmodeus' bird foreleg ca up in the attempt to catch Leavealone, but Leavealone's reaction was fast enough. Leavealone activated Illusive Form. He left myriad afterimages as he moved away. Asmodeus' claw only caught his illusion.
Leavealone stopped a distance away. Petunia and Aneid were stunned by Leavealone's sudden intrusion into the fight. They just stood there and watched.
"An outworlder…," Asmodeus massaged his man-head with his claw. "Do you have a death wish?"
Leavealone answered by using Ki Bullet. The energy ball he fired was coated in thick fire. It made the Ki Bullet look like a giant fireball.
"Audacious! Since you wish to die so much, let fulfill your wish!" Asmodeus rushed forward. A swing of his foreleg destroyed the fire-shrouded ki bullet, but Leavealone was already gone when Asmodeus arrived.
Asmodeus sensed Leavealone circling behind him. His dragon hindlegs went up attempting a double kick, but Leavealone's reaction allowed him to dodge. Asmodeus' snake-tail followed up by firing a lightning bolt, but that also missed.
Frustrated, Asmodeus chased after Leavealone. The two went in circles like cat and mouse, clashing at high speed. Leavealone's two hands were powered by the Fire-infused Fist. The flas were further boosted by Suzaki's flas. His punches with all the buffs were strong enough to clash with Asmodeus' claws. When the two collided, Leavealone was pushed away but suffered no damage.
His Fire-infused Fist no longer had a duration or cooldown. This was one of the passive abilities of his pinnacle class, the Supre Fist. His fists would always enshroud in flas as long as combat was ongoing.
Petunia couldn't believe a single outworlder could make Asmodeus focus his attention. She snapped out of her trance and resud firing her gunbow while casting a spell. She also yelled at Aneid, who hurriedly resud healing her.
"Who is that outworlder?" Aneid asked.
"Don't know…," Petunia answered. She was displeased at herself for feeling the relief of having soone outside of her faction helping the fight. But after suffering so many losses battling Asmodeus, she had to accept they needed all the help they could get.
Asmodeus and Leavemalone continued to fight at high speed. His two heads on the sides started casting spells. His frontal man-head uttered, "If you think you can face with just speed alone, you are gravely mistaken, outworlder!"
The spells were completed. A lightning wall appeared behind Leavealone, cutting his retreat path. On his left, lightning struck down from the sky. He was forced to move to the right.
"Got you!" Asmodeus shouted as he appeared next to Leavealone. Leavealone sensed the devil's approach, but in such a high-speed battle, sensing and reacting had a very short interval. This ti, Leavealone was not fast enough. Asmodeus' bird claw slamd into him.
He shot like a cannonball and crashed into the ground below.
"You didn't die from that blow. You are indeed not a typical outworlder," Asmodeus uttered. His large body dropped at high speed, attempting to stomp on Leavealone. His serpent tail fired lightning bolts as he descended. Leavealone shot away before Asmodeus crashed into the ground.
Leavealone received damage from the earlier slap and the lightning bolts, but not severe. He had activated Battle Monk's Steel Body before the claw hit. Suzaki's flas also cushioned the blow, reducing the damage he received.
Asmodeus stared at Leavealone without a word. While he expected this outworlder to not die from his slap and lightning bolts, he didn't expect his assaults to have so small an impact. He expected Leavealone was still pinned in the ground to receive his stomping.
Leavealone also didn't waste words. He advanced while activating ditate. Supre Fist improved this battle monk's skill. Leavealone no longer had to stay static to use ditate. He could use it while moving. If he didn't move, ditate's effect was tripled. His lost HP was quickly refilled as the skill took effect.
Leavealone roared as he used Supre Fist's level 80 skill, Supre Hundred Strikes. While Jack's hundred shadow strikes didn't live up to its na, this one did. Supre Hundred Strikes truly conjured a hundred copies of Leavealone as they rushed at Asmodeus.
These copies ca from every direction. Asmodeus couldn't rely on his speed to evade. Instead, the devil erected three lightning shields around him. Each of his heads was considered a separate individual. They had their own set of spell libraries. All three had magic shields, so they could cast the sa spell at the sa ti.
The lightning shields couldn't block all angles. Many copies landed hits, but each hit was retaliated by a strike of lightning. Lightning coursed through Asmodeus' body as the devil used Lightning Suit.
Asmodeus received damage from Leavealone's Supre Hundred Strikes, but nothing serious. His defense was already high, to begin with. After getting reinforced by the Lightning Suit, his defense rose even higher.
"I applaud you, outworlder!" Asmodeus exclaid as the eyes on his three heads flared.
These six eyes shot dark purple lightning. They moved where Asmodeus stared at. Hence, they were very fast. Leavealone tried his best to dodge, but one's body movents could never compete with an eye's movents. The chaos lightning rays finally caught up. Leavealone used Ki Shield, a non-standard skill he had learned. The Ki Shield shattered from the impact. He was knocked back to the ground.
Asmodeus had also been casting a spell. Once Leavealone fell back to the ground, he completed the spell. A lightning cage locked Leavealone in. Asmodeus rushed forward.
Petunia used a bow skill with a knockback effect and cast a spell to hinder Asmodeus' charge, but the devil barreled through them. Asmodeus was determined to finish the outworlder this ti.
Leavealone was punching the lightning cage that confined him. His assault showed results but not fast enough. Asmodeus arrived before he could break out. He was about to use another of Supre Fist's defensive skills to receive whatever attack Asmodeus was preparing, but an ice net appeared between him and Asmodeus.
Asmodeus slamd his claw into this ice net. The ice net was freezing cold. It tried to freeze Asmodeus' claw, but Asmodeus broke the net before it could freeze him. Though destroyed, the ice net halted Asmodeus for a breath.
During that ti, sothing fast shot toward Asmodeus. It was a draconian. Asmodeus put up a claw to receive this draconian. The draconian drew a katana from its scabbard in one swift motion. The katana collided with the devil's giant claw. An explosive shockwave resulted from the impact. The draconian was thrown away, but Asmodeus was also forced to take three steps back.
By that ti, the lightning cage had given in to Leavealone's punches. Leavealone jumped away and reunited with his two comrades, Arthur and Blackhole.
Arthur was the draconian who forced Asmodeus back. He combined mana-empowered Iaido with the Avenger's Raging Strike, which had a strong knockback force.
As for the ice net, it was a spell from Blackhole. The original spell he possessed was lightning net, but the passive ability of his pinnacle class, Ruler of Elentals, allowed him to convert the spells' elents between ice, lightning, and fire. He knew Asmodeus had a strong resistance against lightning, hence he changed the lightning net to an ice net. The ice elent also had stronger endurance to stop an opponent compared to the other two elents.
Aside from giving a special ability to convert between the three elents, Ruler of Elentals' passive ability also enhanced all elental damage produced by his spells and decreased all elental damage he received. This ability was not limited to the three elents of fire, ice, and lightning, but to all elents except soul and chaos.
"You shouldn't have rushed here to face this devil alone, Haon. This fight is for all of us," Arthur reprimanded Haon.
"More outworlders…?" Asmodeus stared at the three. He was wondering how three outworlders way above the norm suddenly appeared out of nowhere.
As he had that thought, he sensed a strong incoming attack, but the attack was too close already. A fierce hurricane engulfed him.
The hurricane kept him grounded while multiple slashes hit his body. His lightning suit protected him. The lightning from the suit tried to strike back at the attacker, but the attacker moved too fast within the hurricane. The attacker was already gone by the ti the lightning retaliation triggered.
The hurricane attack ended. An orc outworlder was revealed to be the one responsible.
"Your reign of terror is about to end, devil. We will vanquish you!" Four Winds declared.
