0.43: Unavoidable pressure

…

They were all contemplating the words he had just spoken.

"That is not something you just throw around…" Felicia smiled. "But he's right!"

She joined his side as they both took a stance. "If you want us dead or alive, better put up a good fight!"

Sir Williams revolted. "KILL THEM!!"

Malcolm charged in their direction, and before reacting, he drew his sword behind Seto.

~RAGE RELEASE: RECOIL!!

SLASH!!

Malcolm parried Azahii's attack yet still had his cloak torn. He stepped back to ensure he had no wound.

"Don't worry, that was only a taste of my Zai-kihi. I won't miss next time." He said.

"Mister Azahii, you're okay!" Seto said ecstatically.

"Of course, maggot. Did you think Gaiyato was any match for me?"

"I mean…you did win because of my-"

"Are you doubting my strength?" Azahii gave him a death stare, and he immediately turned away. "But it's okay, now we have the upper hand. It's two versus three!"

Lanna and Malcolm stood side-by-side as he matched them up. Tamon looked back and figured that he had counted out. "HEY! If you kept counting right, it is four versus 3!"

"You're right…" Braito returned with the corpse of every other quart ronin squashed into one orb above them. "It is four versus 3; guess you guys got outnumbered."

~NOHA PROWESS: REDUCE!!

SQUISH!!

The corpses were tightly packed together, resulting in a downpour of blood on the battlefield. "So what will your plan be, number one captain?"

"BRAITO! WHAT IS THE MEANING OF THIS?! YOU ARE SUPPOSED TO ON OUR SIDE!!!" Sir Williams exclaimed.

"I think I need to introduce myself better…my name is Braito, minor 1 of Hajiman."

Tamon was the only one surprised by this. "" H-how could you?! You know this means treason!"

"Fine, all we have to do is kill the president…" he turned back and flew towards Williams.

"AH, STOP HIM!"

"Tch…"

FLUUUUU!!

He got caught in Malcolm's flame before laying a finger on Williams. "Don't think you'll get your wish that easily."

"No wonder they call you the number one…but you're just the president's pet." Braito antagonized.

Seto sensed an attack coming as Lanna fired another wave of shards.

"Watch out!" Felicia exclaimed before Azahii stood before them.

~RAGE RELEASE: VERTICAL SLASH!!

SWING!!

The attack vanished as Azahii took charge. "Team up with whoever and use the numbers to our advantage! Our main target is Sir Williams!"

"AWESOME! WE ARE BONDING LIKE GOOD GUYS! I WANT THE BLAKE BASTARD!!" Felicia said, firing her sphere toward him.

BOOM!!

Seto just stared as Tamon stood still in fear. "Hmm, guess I'm paired up with you then." He said.

"WHAT?! H-hey…don't you dare speak to your superior like that!" Tamon held a stick and swung it around in motion. Seto heard the wind clash onto it, giving him a clear view of his motions.

"Is that…a stick?"

"D-don't underestimate me!"

Seto smiled and charged as well. "Alright, I'll end this quickly!"

He dashed to Tamon and attempted a kick to his face, but he stood still, watching him attack a street pole. "…oh my, you are blind-"
