Urbosa and Merkite ran across the battlefield, and with the cavemen right behind them, they crushed any foe that got near them; even breaking their bones or crushing their arms and legs didn't matter, as long as they didn't completely die.
Although they were aware of the War Games ability to grant everyone the power to revive, there might be innocents here without any points whatsoever, newbies. And Bing Xue told them to simply knock anybody out, as long as they didn't belong to a cult or a faction that supported the cults.
Obviously so, but that did not apply to the traitorous bastards that protected Leos, the Lion Beast man who stood pridefully in the middle of the battlefield with a long sword sheathed and full-body armor of white and gold color. He even still wore his golden crown, as if he hadn't betrayed all of the beast-kin tribes already.
"There they are! The deserters!"
"Don't let them live!"
"They have no points right now, I bet; kill them quickly so they can't revive!"
"A pity that such beautiful females must be slaughtered, but deserts have no mercy!"
A group of over twenty beast men rushed towards Urbosa and Merkite. The two girls rapidly responded, their Spiritual Ki Auras erupting from their bodies as Thunder and Winds surged from each other, respectively.
"Our first real battle in a while, sister!" Urbosa roared.
"Let's make it worth all the time we've spent training!" Merkite nodded.
The two of them resembled a thunderstorm as they rushed towards their foes. The beast people possessed powerful spiritual energy they could manipulate in a myriad ways; however, the ones in front of them could have never hoped to see such a masterful manipulation of these energies!
"{Spiritual Thunderstorm Spear Arts}: {Lightning Strike}!"
Urbosa merged with her thunder and spiritual energies, coupled with her vast amounts of Ki and even her resonating Soul, which had been almost completely cleansed and enhanced from the parasitizing of the System.
With her spear in front of her, Urbosa's entire being turned into a giant, piercing spear of pure, glistening purple and golden lightning, striking through her foes.
"S-She's too fast!"
"What sort of technique is that?!"
"Watch out!"
"Defend!"
They attempted to intercept her or block her blows, unleashing their own spiritual weapon arts, but it seemed utterly futile. Urbosa's charge overwhelmed them within a split second of reaching their bodies.
CRAAASH!
The result? The moment she touched them, she was able to pierce through their bodies, the heat produced by her lightning melting their weapons and armor as she literally passed through them, making them explode into pieces.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
Urbosa zig-zagged across the battlefield, moving from one place to another, left, right, front, below, and even upwards, piercing the bodies of anything in front of her and reducing them to mere shreds.
The same could be said of her sister, as those who aimed at her thought of her as weaker than Urbosa due to her slightly smaller height and younger appearance.
"Charge at her! Surround her!"
"The winds she controls aren't as deadly!"
"She's much smaller and younger and weaker!"
Although she was the same age as her twin sister, Urbosa's appearance seemed to have matured more after she gave birth to Hekita, making it seem as if she was the big sister between the two.
And Merkite hated being looked down on!
"Don't underestimate me, you pieces of sh*t! {Spiritual Windstorm Spear Arts}: {Emerald Tornado}!"
Merkite spun in midair as her spear started spinning around at an immensely fast speed. Her Aura of Winds, combined with Ki, Mana, and Spiritual energies, generated a giant tornado of emerald winds.
FLUOSH!
"W-Wha…?!"
"Uuaaagh!"
"This is impossible!"
Her attackers were immediately engulfed in a storm of spiraling winds, each one slashing through their armor and weapons, and then Merkite herself, piercing their hearts and heads, as she flew around her pseudo-domain of winds as it moved across the battlefield.
SLASH! SLASH! SLASH! SLASH!
Their screams of agony reverberated across the battlefield as their bodies were completely dismembered, and mercilessly so. Both twins reached Leos in a matter of seconds, going through his thirty warriors like nothing.
"Leos! Traitor of the beast tribes!"
"We've come to punish you at long last!"
Two girls rushed down at lightning speed, their Auras fusing together, creating a storm of winds and thunder that descended at the same time as their spears, aiming at the lion-beast man's head.
Yet.
"You're strong; I have to admit that!" He smiled, his mane waving away the strong winds. "However… Don't think you can just aim for my life so easily!"
Unsheathing his long sword, the traitorous king of the beast tribes unleashed a gigantic wave of pure light, blinding both Urbosa and Merkite. The wave of pure Mana and Spirit energy clashed against their combined Aura Attack, generating a loud explosion of elements.
BOOOM!
Urbosa and Merkite were pushed away by Leos almost supreme-level spiritual swordsmanship as they quickly balanced themselves amidst the air, using [Cloud Step], a technique that Bing Xue taught them to walk in the air.
"He's strong, just as I thought!" Urbosa smiled.
"Good, it would be boring if this monster died easily!" Merkite said.
Both twins groaned, showing their sharp teeth at Leos, as the prideful man, as tall as three meters, stood there, holding his blade as it emanated a bright Aura of Spiritual Light.
"Whatever you've done to achieve that level of strength, I'll have it extracted once my sword eats your souls, filthy deserters," Leos said. "For my sword is craving the souls of strong warriors!"
Urbosa and Merkite ignored his words, rushing from left and right, aiming their spears at his heart and neck. The special attribute of spears is that you can keep your distance from your foe while using them, keeping yourself much safer as you fight.
This was why Bing Xue, who wanted to prioritize their safety, decided to tell them to drop their rogue-like fighting style, replace their small blades and daggers, and teach them everything she knew about Spear Arts from Murim.
Because she was faster, Urbosa was the first one to strike.
"{Spiritual Thunderstorm Spear Arts}: {One-Hundred Thunderbolts}!"
Her spear shone with golden light as her thunderous blows were unleashed, her hands moving at the same speed as the lightning coursing through her body, clashing against Leos and piercing his armor with each impactful blow.
CLASH! CLASH! CLASH! CLASH!
Leos was not as fast as she was, though, as he was surprised by the incoming blows, his high confidence becoming his demise. His armor helped him take five blows, but the rest all hit him directly. In between being electrocuted and pierced by spears, he swung his blade several times, managing to block her next series of blows, with explosions of light and thunder erupting.
"You think you can best me?!" With a frustrated roar, Leos swung his blade strongly, aiming to behead Urbosa.
"{Spiritual Light Swordsmanship}: {Holy Decapitation}!"
SLAAASH!
The slashing wave reached Urbosa within a split second, almost about to slice her neck; however, her lightning responded, covering her entire body and releasing an explosive attack, destroying the incoming blow and then allowing Urbosa to step back before another slash were to cut her into two halves.
"You're way too fast! How is this possible?!" Leos roared. "I have fought countless other thunder users before, none faster than me!" His body was encompassed in pure light.
"Well, I bet you've hardly had a challenge to begin with!" Urbosa roared, her spear clashing against his sword as explosions of their elements constantly erupted, breaking the ground, and making the skies rumble. "Or are you going to pretend you never did anything wrong, that you didn't betray your people?! For how long you plan to run away from this?!"
"Run away?!" Laughed Leos. "I have simply moved past that; it is YOU and your filthy kind that keep trying to remind me of something that no longer matters to me! Yes, I betrayed you, and yes, I did it for power! Would I do it again?! OF COURSE!"
With a furious roar, Leos raised his blade and swung it downward, generating a giant wave of pure spiritual light capable of splitting a whole mountain.
SLAAASH!
Yet!
"{Spiritual Windstorm Spear Arts}: {Emerald Tornado}!"
FLUOOOSH!
A tornado of emerald winds emerged from below him, engulfing him and trapping him within. His sword technique came undone as he was unable to stabilize it in time, creating a strong backlash that twisted his guts and made him vomit blood.
"Ugh! Dammit, I forgot about the other one!"
Leos had completely forgotten Merkite existed as he fought with Urbosa, and that was for a good reason, as Urbosa planned to distract him enough for his sister to surprise him with a strong technique and trap him inside.
"This is merely… NOTHING!"
TRUUUM!
Even as his body was covered with many wounds, Leos released his powerful Aura, shaking the tornado and instantly dissipating it, revealing Merkite right behind him.
However, it was too late, her spear quickly piercing his left arm, the arm holding his blade, and then, with an explosive gust of wind, blowing it up and breaking it off his shoulder!
"{Spiritual Windstorm Spear Arts}: {Explosive Gust Strike}!"
CRAAASH!
"Grraaagggghhh!"
Leos couldn't help but scream in agony as his arm fell from the skies with his sword in hand, and Merkite quickly kicked his face down with immense force, almost dislocating his lower jaw while dozens of his teeth were sent flying.
"Fuck you!"
BAAAM!
Leos fell from the skies at a tremendous speed, falling head-first into the ground below and shattering it, generating countless cracks that erupted with light everywhere.
"Uuggh…! Hahhh…! Ngh!"
Leos channeled the powers of his Divine Blessing in that moment, as his arm was quickly replaced by one made of pure holy spiritual light through Spiritual Materialization, a technique that Hekita was born with but that took someone like him dozens of years to learn.
"H-How are you so strong?! You're nothing but feeble little dogs!" he muttered in frustration. "To lose to the Silver Moon Tribe…! This is a dishonor I must never face! As the proud… Lion of the Golden Dawn Tribe! I am Supreme among all beast men!"
With a furious and frustrated scream, his Spiritual Aura erupted with immense force, and his Divine Sword flew towards him, piercing his chest and then melting over his body into liquid gold, turning into a full-body armor.
His golden and red armor was covered in white and golden spiritual flames, as his helmet appearance was that of a ferocious lion.
Indeed, his sword was not normal at all.
"What…?!" Urbosa muttered.
"He's transforming?!" Merkite asked.
The two girls rushed down to stop him, combining their elements once more for a powerful spiraling spear made of thunder and winds to crush him from above.
"Face the power of the wielder of the Divine Beast Sword!" roared Leos. "Forged by the very bones and fangs of the divine beasts our God sealed!"
His arm grew anew out of this metal as he materialized a gigantic sword of light and golden flames, swinging it against the twins with tremendous, erupting force.
"DIE!"
SLAAASH!
His attack immediately clashed against their combined one, all three elements constantly clashing against one another, attempting to overcome the other.
However.
BOOOMMM!!!
An explosion happened before the winner could be decided. Urbosa hugged Merkite and quickly flew away, as Leos remained unmoved, the explosion being of no threat to him.
As the smoke dissipated and revealed his glistening metallic armor, the twins looked down with slightly concerned looks.
"That must be the blade made by slaughtering our divine beast spirits," sighed Urbosa.
"The Divine Beast Spirit Fang Blade, Gaon!" Merkite cried.
"Leos was definitely among the weakest avatars of the Barbarian God, but with that divine sword, he can also become their strongest," said Urbosa.
"Dammit! Can we win with that thing?!" Merkite began to panic. "We can't afford to lose now! We'll end up humiliating ourselves in front of our wife, and we won't be able to avenge our fallen family and kindred!"
"…There's a chance," Urbosa said, suddenly holding her sister's hand. "We must do that."
"Wait, what?! But we just learned about it!" said Merkite. "And it's unstable…!"
"It's the only way we can win with our own strength!" Urbosa said.
"…Hah," Merkite seemed to smile a bit. "I suppose we're out of options, huh?"
"What are you babbling about?! Come and fight me, COWARDS!"
Leos roared, as his armor suddenly grew a pair of metallic wings, flying into the skies to confront the twins, swinging his blade against them.
"DIE WITH HONOR!"
SLAAASH!
As he attacked, he saw both twins hugging each other and muttering something at the same time.
