Four Against Ten

"Shape shifters?" Jim didn't know what those new species were, so he turned to gaze upon Deno who just smiled and said:

"They are specialized at changing their kin into any kin they touch."

"Not only that," Lan said before explaining himself, "these can turn water into ice, and even some have the unique ability of absorbing water to their bodies."

"Oh," Jim glanced over the distance, where Pol's face was reddened from anger. "So you tried to cheat and sneak attack my strongest formation?"

He laughed while muttering, "bad for you I didn't play with my strongest formation, but the best, hehehe." He then moved towards the arena while adding, "Deno, your task is to face all of the shapeshifters," he paused before adding, "please leave one or two for us to add."

"Are you sure?" Deno was skeptical about this new arrangement, "shouldn't I face all of them at once?"

"No," Jim shook his head before adding, "I'll make sure to prove to everyone that messing up with me has severe consequences."

Jim walked leisurely towards the arena while the three of his team walked behind. He selected Deno to be his defense, Lan to be his supporter, and the surprising Jenny to be his decoy.

As for him, he planned to be the main player, holding nothing back.

"I request the match to start," Jim strongly spoke when reaching the center of the arena.

"Are you sure?" Armando asked, "you only brought four of your team, while you can bring up to five."

"Four will do," Jim smiled and from his simple smile, Armando knew he was up to a mischievous act.

"Alright," he said before turning to the giant team, "are you ready… cheating team?"

His remark was so harsh and many of the audience here whispered and even some shouted sneakily: Cheaters.

"They are ready," Pol wasn't happy by the current outcome, yet he couldn't do anything to change it now. "Let my boys kill you all," he said, as a prayer, as a wish, as a promise.

"Let the match begin," Armando said, and the moment he did, Jenny started using the fire ore from the start, igniting her body with fire.

"Girl, just surrender. You are too sweet to face us alone," one of the giants came towards her with leisure steps like he wasn't afraid of her fire at all.

"Come and be my girl in bed tonight," another one moved while moving his bugling chest muscles as he clenched and relaxed them.

"I promise you won't be dissatisfied with us," another one moved while patting on his bare chest.

The three seemed to be taking this fight as a play, not a life and death battle.

Yet Jenny didn't answer them as she hurriedly sat herself on fire and waited.

The three walked towards her when Deno suddenly jumped off her head. His giant physique allowed him to do this jump without sweating, and she just smiled in return.

"Tsk, a faulted Bulltor is daring to stand against us," the three smirked while the other two moved to face him with fast steps.

The coordination between the five was superb, they didn't need even to speak a single word between themselves before their formation changed according to circumstances.

"It's not me who is going to face you," Deno suddenly laughed while he landed on the ground, paused there while bending his legs before jumping backward again.

And this time he moved obliquely to the right, where the five shape shifters were, alongside Jenny who just moved a moment earlier than him.

"Going after the weak, lame!" one of the giants smirked, just as he was about to instantly shift his body, a sudden change erupted from their front.

Jim was standing there, doing something strange. He held his sword in the same place he used to use when he activated the fire spell of his, yet he had no fire at all.

So his stance with Lan on his back didn't alarm the giants until lightning suddenly started to dance around his body. The sparks of lightning kept jumping everywhere from his body, while Lan nearly emptied the lightning ore of its energy stored inside.

"You are good to go," Lan said while noticing that Jim was still waiting.

"Keep pouring more," Jim simply muttered while he patiently held the sword in his hands while resisting the mighty gravity that was trying to pull the sword to the ground without pause.

"Tsk," Lan sighed while keeping pouring the lightning from the ore. "You are a mad man," he muttered as he knew how much lightning this ore contained.

It was enough to make even him explode!

However Jim stood still, and when Deno and Jenny moved out of his way, the lightning started to reach a terrifying degree inside his body that his body started to emit lightning like a dark stormy furious cloud.

And he was furious of what Pol tried to do just now with these dirty tricks and machinations.

"What's the use of trickery in front of raw strength?" he muttered before Lan finally emptied the ore of all the lightning in it. "Go," he shouted and the next moment Jim endured the resistance from his sword as he moved in the course provided by his mind towards the five speechless giants.

"Are you stupid?" one of them laughed, "a human against five of giants? That's hilarious!"

"Let's show him what real strength looked like," another one smirked before he moved towards another two while the three put their fists together to the front, arching their backs while putting their heads at the lowest point possible.
