Mason continued to receive Jason's merciless blazing mace attacks one after another, each of his hits was like a small explosion that coated Mason with burning flames!

Jason, however, recognized that Mason was resisting his hits pretty fine, although he had already broken and torn apart his arms while part of his face was also blown into pieces of flesh and he could even see his skull behind the blood, Mason was still somehow alive, unleashing constant waves of gravity, even as he was losing immense amounts of blood!

Ervas glanced with surprise at his father's fury, perhaps he should have more faith in his strength, he had really become someone ridiculously strong.

CLASH! CLASH! CLASH! CLASH!

"DIE!" roared Jason, his sheer anger had no end, as he kept infusing all of his mana into this powerful attack without stopping for a single second!

Mason felt the agonizing pain of his skin being burned, his arms being crushed into pulp and then torn apart, and of his face losing a piece of flesh alongside an eye and his nose! The wounds were quickly sealed by the flames, but he was being literally grilled alive!

"NNNNNGGGGYYYYYAAAAAAHHHH…!"

Mason couldn't help but groan in utmost agony! All of his bravado, pride, and anger were converted into utmost suffering by the hands of Ervas' own father!

"SCREAM MORE, YOU BASTARD!" roared Jason, as he charged all of his power and then crushed Mason's torso with his mace, throwing him into the ground with a loud, blazing explosion!

BOOOOOOM!

Lucas who was nearby quickly ran towards Mason, drinking the potions he had brought and then immediately creating artificial spirits to heal him quickly!

"Aggh… Aaahhh… Nnngh…"

Mason was only groaning in agony, Lucas could barely hear him breathing within his burned lungs, he was completely grilled alive…

"Mason! MASON!" screamed Lucas, as his powers suddenly began to change as well!

"No… no… Don't die! Please, please! I am sorry for being so stupid! I am sorry! Please! PLEASE! SPIRITS!" he screamed.

FLASH!

Suddenly, within the depths of Lucas's soul, something within awakened!

He summoned an Artificial Spirit of Life, but unlike how it was before, it took into a humanoid shape and was even wearing a beautiful dress, large, fairy-like wings of gold and emerald colors, her hair was blonde and made into braids, her ears long like that of elves, and her eyes were sharp emerald.

Ding!

[The [Spiritualist: Level 10] Skill has awakened into the [God Spirit Summoner: Level 1] Skill!]

"W-What? God… Spirit?!"

The Spirit of Life opened her eyes as she glanced at Lucas with a warm smile.

She moved near Mason as she waved her beautiful and delicate hands, and waves of golden lights covered Mason's entire body, his burn wounds began to quickly fade away as flesh and skin grew anew, even his nose and lost arms came back!

"H-He's… being healed so fast…! Is this… my power?" wondered Lucas, feeling as if he had truly become the protagonist of this story.

"Oh no, you don't!" roared Goliath, as he finally reached the ground, hitting it and making a tremendous tremor!

BOOM!

"Eh?!" Lucas was startled that such a mystical moment was interrupted by this green-skinned, ogre-like giant, who was even able to speak!

Flash!

Goliath emerged right before the two, as he raised his fists and activated many techniques at once over the two!

"Elemental Fist Barrage!"

His fist suddenly was covered on flames, thunder, winds, and ice, as they fell over the two like constant meteors of death!

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

"NNNGRRAAAGGH…!"

Lucas was hit by one of the fists directly, as he felt his ribcage shattering into pieces inside of his body and piercing his lungs and heart, throwing him away into the air as he fell near a tree!

Boom!

Meanwhile, Mason's body was crushed the most, almost made into pulp once more! He was left completely hopeless!

BOOM! BOOM BOOOOM!

Goliath's tremendous might destroyed most of the environment with his powerful punches, the very earth around him shattered and opened wide, as the flames, wind, thunder, and ice from his fists blasted everything away!

Mason's half-destroyed torso flew into the air, as it fell near Lucas by mere luck, which was probably the cause of both of their Fortune Skills granted by Hekaton.

Goliath sighed as he had spent a bunch of Mana into it and felt like his arms were about to fall apart, he had really gone all out.

"Hahh… Phew…" he sighed, glancing at the utter catastrophe he unleashed with his bare fists. Jason, Draconia, and Nick quickly flew towards Lucas and Mason to finish them off, while Ervas hurriedly showered Goliath with Mana to recover himself.

"Good job," he said, flying back with Jason and the rest.

"Ah, don't leave me behind!" said Goliath, rushing behind Ervas.

Meanwhile, Lucas quickly opened his eyes as he vomited a mouthful of blood, he felt like he was about to die at any time, and instinctively summoned yet another Life Attribute Spirit, this time, it resembled a beautiful woman made of tree bark.

She smiled back at Lucas as she kissed his lips, suddenly, all of his wounds were healed, and even his bones were rearranged!

"T-This power of healing… Ah! Heal Mason, quicky!" ordered Lucas desperately, as he could sense the dread of the ones chasing after they gave him when they approached!

The beautiful emerald-eyed woman made of tree bark flew towards Mason who was somehow still alive, although completely unrecognizable.

She kissed him and he began to completely heal, his limbs came back, and everything else was once more anew!

However… Lucas realized that Mason couldn't wake up yet!

"Ahhh… Mason! WAKE UP!" he cried.

The beautiful woman made of wood suddenly went to defend Lucas from Jason, Draconia, and the rest, unleashing large amounts of sharp tree branches from the ground!

Ervas recognized that the power of such a Spirit was indeed quite high, Lucas had most likely awakened his Spiritualist Ability, and when he glanced at his status from very afar through Telescopic Vision, he realized that he had indeed done so!

"God Spirit Summoner? Is this the reason behind his powerful healing? It is even better than mine. This is dangerous. We have to kill him quickly before he learns how to use his powers," said Ervas through telepathy, as his allies nodded.
