A Fight That Needs To Be Fought

Crawling away the best he could Xilo made sure Laven didn't make any sudden attacks at him again. "I messed it up." Xilo wanted to get the opening attack to help keep up appearances. He fumbled and tripped, messing that all up, now he was just being protected. Standing up with Xelfia's help, Xilo looked all around him at the people who were showing up. Every single one of them circled around them blocking any way of escape while Laven kept laughing. Taking out their weapons their only way out of this was to fight now. No tricks or games would get them out of this anymore, it was either Laven's group or them that would be the victor. The eight of them versus all sixty or so of them.

"So much for making plans."

Hearing Xilo's depressed voice, Zilan shook his head.

"It's fine Xilo, just try and stay safe. Sarin and Darin will still handle defence. Relia should probably help them as well and Xilo you should flex between helping them or us whenever you can. We can do this."

Zilan wasn't always the best with raw planning skills but in a pinch he could make it work. "I can take on Laven, Xelfia should be able to take Hazel." Marie and Tearia would be helping them out where they could along with Xilo. In this moment that was the best plan he could think of and Xilo agreed. Once everyone knew what they were doing now, they got ready to fight. Laven finally stopped laughing as he looked at his prey. He was simply stalling for time to make sure they were surrounded. He didn't want any chance of them escaping and with everyone from his group here now it was time to fight. Hazel showed up next eager for a fight as well.

"I'm glad you showed up on time."

"Anything to punch that girl in the face."

Looking straight at Tearia, Hazel was finally going to get her revenge. Watching Hazel eye Tearia with a crazed look, Xelfia put her body in front of Tearia. "This woman." Feeling slightly irritated with Hazel, Xelfia didn't wait to throw out the first move. Leaves scattered into the air and turned sharp as a knife above her head before aiming straight at Hazel. Following behind all of her leaves Xelfia felt her blood boiling a bit. Her Crimson Fangs claws extended out ready to turn her face into a mess. "She's already rushing in." Seeing Xelfia rush in from the side of his vision, Zilan did the same. They both needed to catch their attention in order for this to work. Hazel and Laven were their biggest threats.

A boring old Red flame came to life in his hand.

"This might not be as good as it once was but it's enough to deal with you."

Crushing it, he surrounded his hands in flames as approached Laven. After analysing the flames with his Wolf's Eye Laven calmly took out his sword in silence after putting his spear away. He was always known as the Silent Blade however seeing XIlo now he could feel the scar on his eye burning in rage, anger and most of all fear. The jacket around his body warmed up along with the heat of Zilan's flame while water energy slowly swirled around his sword. With one slash he sent multiple blades in the shape of his sword flying right at Zilan. This was a fight he couldn't lose and there was no more playing around. "For my family, friends and myself." Emotions filled his entire body as he charged forward.

"You all die here!"

People corrupted by darkness were too far gone to save. Clashing with Zilan's raw fists, Laven tried to cut his hands off in one slash. He was met with a stupidly thick defense though comnig from someone with just Fire energy. "Why?" Using So much of his energy at once he struggled to analyse everything going on around him with his Wolf's Eye. Zilan didn't give him time to figure it out either as he flicked his hand and shoved Laven's blade back. In terms of strength they were fairly equal currently, Laven was stronger though. "A tough bastard." Grabbing at his sword hand he tried to light his sword on fire along with his body but Astral Water kept putting out his flames. Feeling his red hair fall into his face Zilan tried something else as he punched his arm while a Lightning Spear flew through the air coming right for him.

*Clinkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk*

Seeing another attack coming for him, Laven dropped his sword as he took out another one. Laven was a master of many weapons and wasn't limited to just one. He had swords, bows, spears and plenty more stored in a bracelet on his arm. Stabbing at Zilan he aimed for his throat, forcing him to back off. Once Zilan let go of his arm he pulled out a shield and braced for impact. The spear made of lightning pierced straight into his shield and stopped in its path while letting out remnant sparks that threatened to zap him if he got too close. Dropping the shield on the ground he kicked it away as he replaced it with a new one. With both in hand he slashed at Zilan's head before he could get attacked again.

"Whoa."

Ducking below his sword Zilan punched his shield creating a dent in it before sweeping his legs underneath Laven to try and trip him. Laven casually jumped above it without even looking down at the ground. "This guy...." Impressed with Laven's instincts he lit the ground around them on fire and forced Laven into very close quarters. Unable to swing his sword around anymore, Laven put it away along with his shield as claws attached to his hands. Clawing at Zilan he did his best to tear his skin apart. "You won't win." Laven knew he was stronger than Zilan, it was just a matter of time and dodging the attacks from others.

Snapping her fingers Hazel turned all of Xelfia's leaves to dust as she smiled. In a second, armour covered her body thanks to her Astral Ring, while poison seeped into the air around her. Hazel's Astral Element was poison along with another one that she kept hidden for now. She only needed to use poison to kill Xelfia. "I'm not going all out for her." Full of confidence She melted the ground under Xelfia's feet, stopping her in her tracks and burning her skin. Feeling her skin start to melt suddenly Xelfia focused on defending herself. "What the?" Confused for a second about what just happened she layered her entire body in Astral Energy for protection but it didn't work at all.

"Hahahaha. You think something so simple as using more Astral Energy will work? I'll burn your skin off and melt you into a puddle. We'll see how pretty you are then."
