Saved for no reason

" You're probably thinking why you can't react right now, right? "

Ezra questioned as he would then twist the blade, causing the man to scream in agonizing pain

" Well the reason for that is simple, the smoke that I'm releasing from my back is poisoning the air which you are now breathing, and what this poison does is simple, it confuses your senses, making your brain confused and not allowing your nerves to react accordingly.. "

Ezra said, smiling a little as Lionel began to grip his arm, trying to push the blade out of his stomach, but it was futile, he had no strength to push it away, and although Ezra was talking to him, he could not hear a single thing but a loud ringing in his ear

" You're also probably thinking why you're so weak, and the answer for that predicament is simple, poison kills. That is my ability, I call it Pollution "

Ezra whispered, before pulling the sword away from the man's stomach, tilting his head a little as he began to hear what seemed to be the sound of metal

" If that's the case then that means I'll die in a few minutes "

Lionel said as he held onto the hole Ezra had made in him, to then take a deep breath right afterwards

" So, for whatever time I have left, I'll waste it killing you all "

Lionel added, his eyes firing with rage as he looked up at Ezra who's face went from that of confidence to a one of fear

" Shu!! Ean!! Hurry protect the gi— "

Ezra couldn't finish his sentence as a sudden burst of air pushed him away, only for him to turn toward the group, seeing Lionel flying over to Ana, generating a sword beside him, grabbing it with anger to then slash at her, but at a speed almost similar to that of light Shu had appeared in front of the woman, blocking the slash with his arms, only to be shot miles away from the battle field in a burst of energy which pushed everyone back, patting the clouds apart in the process.

" Ugh!! "

Lionel groaned as he then turned toward Elena levitating ever so slightly to her direction, only for time to slow down as Ean and Ezra, who's speed was equal ro the man's perception of time were already beside him.

Ean had one of the blades to the man's stomach, and Ezra had the other inches away from the man's neck

" Too slow.. "

Lionel whispered, lowering his head to Dodge Ezra's slice to then move aside, avoiding Ean's attempt at a thrust to the man's stomach

" Dammit… "

Ezra whispered, as he couldn't stop himself from flying any further, the speed at which he attempted to slice Lionel's head off was too much for him to freely control, but once he composed himself, which took only about a second, he turned to look toward Ean and Lionel, only to see the man thrusting his hand forward in an attempt to stab Ean through his heart, but from what seemed to be nowhere Shu appeared beside the man's head, the bottom of his right foot only inches away from the man's face

" Huh? "

Lionel questioned, as a grin grew on Shu's face, only for him to push his leg forward, kicking the man right in the face, sending him flying miles away, but just as quickly as he Lionel was sent flying, he appeared on top of all of them.

" You "

Lionel said as he looked down at Shu, slowly raising his index finger to point at the boy, raising in an eyebrow whilst a frown grew on his face

" How are you moving so fast, you shouldn't be able to— "

Lionel quickly shut his mouth once he saw that Ean, Ezra and Shu were already beside him. Shu with his foot to the man's face yet again, as Ezra and Ean swung their blades at the man's waist from each side.

" ugh!! You are all annoyances!! "

Lionel yelled as he would then spread his arms, allowing his energy to flow out, pushing the three away, but that didn't stop Shu, he pushed through the flow of energy, and although he bled and injured himself, he flew through the massive amounts of energy with a demonic grin creeping through his face.

" Heh "

Shu snickered, before punching the man right in his face, grabbing his armor so that he wouldn't fly away, piercing through the metallic suit to then start a barrage of punches against the man's face with his right hand

" Ahahaha!!!! Now this is a fight!! "

Shu yelled, as he would then spread his arms out, laughing out into the air only to then receive a punch which broke a few of his ribs to the stomach, sending him flying miles away from where they were

" That idiot! "

Ean yelled as he would then dash toward the man who's face was now all mushed and dirty with blood

" How are you all able to keep up with me? "

Lionel whispered, looking down at his enemies with a face of disbelief whilst dodging Ean's rush with nothing but a small movement to the right

" You all are weaker than me, yet you are able to harm, and keep up with my speed, not only that, but confuse my senses with your speed, this—this makes no sense "

Lionel added as he would then place his left hand on his face, covering his eyes to then push his fiery hair back, only to then allow to flow into the air as he took in a deep breath

" I'm a dying man anyway, so I suppose I'll use all the energy in my core to at the very least get rid of you lot "

Lionel said as he then dashed toward Ean, raising his hand in an attempt to grab the boy's face

" I'll go for the weakest first.. "

He whispered, moving so fast that he only left a trail of his now constantly flowing energy, but before he could grab onto Ean's face Ezra was already beside the man, leaving a trail of his own.

Ezra would then swing his blade toward the man's abdomen, denying the armor with it and twisting the skin inside, sending the man flying away from the boy, only for him to be kicked down to the ground by Shu, who yet again in a blur of speed appeared out of nowhere, with that uneasy smile and now with almost half of his aura completely black.

Before the man could hit the ground Ean flew down, crashing against the floor, sliding through it to build momentum for his full body sword swing, which he was able to successfully pull off, slicing at the man's back, sending him right back to Ezra who held his sword with both his hands, gripping it tightly as the flames around the sword intensified, growing so vastly that even Ezra's massive body couldn't compare to its size.

As Lionel's body reached the tip of Ezra's blade, all he could think about was how he was born, and how his mother born threw him in the ocean right after being, only for him to come out days later from that deep cold and salty water, via a bubble of energy, seeing a man with blue hair looking into the bubble.

" You rescued me my lord, but I have failed at my duties, forgive me… "

Lionel whispered right before Ezra's blade Impaled his body, and the flames around it burned not only his armor, but his skin as well

" Ezra!! Back away!! "

Ean yelled as he looked up at the sky from the ground, only to see how Lionel's body began to glow, and soon after, an explosion formed from his corpse.
