Beating Blue-Black

'Not another one!' The old man cried in his heart. Bead of sweats dripped from forehead.

When the group watching the battle saw another person walking toward the ongoing battle. They rolled their eyes and their mouth aghast. What kind of team is this? They thought in their mind.

The races looked at each other and couldn't understand when such a powerful race appeared on the chaos world.

The old man retreated a couple of steps from Laka and Mata's entanglement. He puffed his chest, taking a deep breath. It was more a minute since the battle started, but it seems like forever.

'Can I handle the three of them?' The old man doubted in his mind. However, to hide his insecurity. A wild smile plaster on his face.

"Like to safe your friend from my clutch, hmm." He taunted, holding his wooden sword with both hand.

Maya looked at the old man for a moment and burst into laughter. The large expanse of the training was quiet, leaving only the resounding laugh of Maya. The wind blew gently, and the burning sun hanged over the field. All eyes fixed on Maya, waiting.

"To me, old man. You're the one that need saving. Don't you agree." Maya asked calmly after she finished laughing.

"Nonsense. No one can defeat this old man." He retorted confidently. "Are you here to fight or what?"

Maya avert her gaze from the old man and looked at Laka and Mata. "Commander asked us to defeat him until he is unable to stand up." She announced with a light smile on her lips.

Laka and Mata looked at each other and nodded. Both of them had received some instruction from Emma not to go all out. Now, the situation has been reverse. And to crown it all, Maya was added.

'Old man, you're gone.' Mata pitied in her mind. Unknown to her, she began to have blind in Emma.

Beep! Beep!

A notification came from the back of their left arm suit. The three glance at the notification and a cruel smile appeared on their face. They looked at the old man at the same time and dash toward him.

The wild smile on the old man's face disappeared at once. His hand trembled slightly. His skull tingled. 'What kind of formation is this.' He retreated, not having the confidence to meet the attack head on.

But would the three left him off. No. Mata appeared in front of the old man, swing her two short diagonally. Maya on the left when for the lower left of the old man body, while Laka went for the brain.

The speed of the attack left the people watching the battle flabbergasted. Yet, the old man proves to be an expert in martial art. He changed his movement skill avoiding, parrying Mata attack. He moves back and side step, creating a gush of wind, trying to avoid the dangerous attack of Laka and Maya.

But to his dismay, Laka and Maya and another variation. It was not a simple attack. Their attack change midway, going for the kill. Every one pop their eyes out of their socket. Their blood boiled at the intensity of the attack.

The old man widen his eyes. His brain was short-circuited for a moment. He couldn't believe what just happened. 'How did they know my movement skill. This technique is not know by others.' He was totally confused.

Bang! Bang!

The old man groaned, retreating a couple of steps. His face pallid. Since he attained profound realm in his skills. This was the first time he was hit. A dark glow appeared on in his pupil. The surrounding aura change. The air vibrated and the space around the training ground shook.

A couple retreated from the training ground. Their heart was racing. The normal fight has turned into an epic fight. No one dare to blink. They couldn't avoid missing the peak of the battle.

[[Unknown force detected around the three fighters.]]

[[Activating force dispersing formation on the suit.]]

Beep

A green beep came from the suit and a message echoed in their comms. The expression of the three didn't change. They changed strategic sprint toward the old man, leaving an afterimage.

The long beard of the old man sway with the air. His long over flowing brown robe flustered gently. He dashed toward the incoming three with confident.

[[Activating Motion sensor.]]

[[Simulation completed. New battle formation found. 80% success.]]

[[Sending the battle formation ]]

Beep. Beep.

The three received the notification but didn't have the time to check it. The old man sword move swiftly, leaving no traces.

Bang!

He hit Mata with a powerful attack. She took a couple of steps backward and groaned slightly. Her gazed fixed on the old man. 'Interesting.' She checked the notification and smiled.

Bang! Bang!

The old man attack hit Maya and Laka, sending them a couple of steps backward. The two only groaned from the after effect of the attack. They inhaled deeply, and the two checked their notification. Their blood boils and they reshuffle themselves. Maya took the main attack while Mata replaced Laka.

Tingling sound came from their suit and a streak of light flashed from their suit. Everyone was wandering the three going to do next when the old man has shown a superior battle.

Whoosh!

The three disappeared from their location and appeared in front of the old man. No one knew how they move. They didn't even leave an afterimage.

Maya sword glow blueish. Her attack was slow, subtle, and soft. Laka sword was fiery red and scotching hit. While Mata two short swords disappeared into smoke.

Stupefied.

'Oh boy!'

The pressure from the three attack left the old man astounded. Besides, their skyrocketing speed left him confused. 'How would I defend from this.' He cried in his heart.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The old flies backward, puking blood. But he managed to regaining his footing. He raised his head only to see another round of attack coming toward three different part of his body. He tried to use his movement skill.

But the three moves in anticipation with weapon in place.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

'Why is my pressure not working on them. What sorcery!? What sorcery!?' His eyes bloodshot and face whitened. Yet, he still maintained his standing.

"Increased your power." Emma said to his comms.

Whoosh!

The three appeared in front of the old man with an unprecedented force. The three attack at the same at time. 'Your attack won't break my defense. Worst, I will only a bit of blood.' The old man snickered.

Boom!

The old man found himself flying in the air. 'Why am I flying.'

Ah!

The old cried in misery when his brain process the pain. He crashed a couple of meters away from the center of the field. He puked out his inward. His cloth torn into pieces.

Three deep injury appeared on his chest while some of his rib protruded. If not for their leniency. The old man would have been killed from the attack. He looked at the injuries on his chest, with blood gushing like a broken dam.

He sighed and shook his head. 'Where did these demons comes from.'

"Friend, can you come to my manor."
