“That is quite bold of you. ‘Leaping fearlessly to your death and all.” Benny said.

Benny picked himself up from being dragged in the forest. He let out a brief chuckle before removing the cloak. Benny looked up to him.

Mr. Funny Man was however unscathed. “So, we meet again, huh. You didn’t learn anything last time, didn’t you?”

Benny beamed widely. “Yes, I have, but this time, it will be different.”

A loud booming sound came at his left. The shockwave came, rushed on its path. Mr. Funny Man couldn’t see the attack but he felt that it’s coming for him. Slimmed like a weaver, Mr. Funny Man draw back and flew

The shockwave came passed in front of him. He gazes at his side and saw several trees spewing to him. Mr. Funny Man used artistically his wind magic to blocked the attack and changed the trajectory. Mr. Funny Man’s attention was caught by a blade coming in front of him. In single swoop he caught it with his bare hand.

Benny laughed in amusement. “You are certainly something, Mr. Funny Man. I expect nothing less from the leader of Kris Krux himself.” Benny complimented.

“That attack,” Mr. Funny Man started. “It’s a sound blast, isn’t it? ‘Made by compressing the noise through the influenced of sound waves.”

Benny grinned. “You thought you’re the only one who has invincible attack, didn’t you? Too bad, you and I are the same.”

Mr. Funny Man remained unreadable. Mr. Funny Man swung his hand and vortex of wind fluidly made its way like a snake to Benny.

Benny did not move. He raised his palm and ear ringing erupted. The compressed wave of noises erupted and forcibly dissipated the wind.

Benny threw a mocking grin at Mr. Funny Man.

“You see what I did there?”

Mr. Funny Man removed his glass. He lunged on him. Mr. Funny Man’s palm began to emit wind vortex. However, Benny already made his move he ran away and got inside deeper in the forest.

Deep, heavy, and deadly. That’s what Mr. Funny Man is depicted in Benny’s thoughts. A dozen appeared and came to pursue. The wind vortex hisses like from a snake that found its prey. Benny leaped and rolled on the dust and coming across a cliff, he found himself in a dreadful situation.

The 14-wind vortex had showed its fangs and emerged into one dreadful snake.

“Oh shit.”

“You see what I did there?” Mr. Funny Man returned the question.

Benny gritted his teeth. “So what?! Just because you made a bigger one doesn’t mean its impenetrable! I’m just gonna make my noise shockwave stronger!”

A loud hissed of grinding forces emanated in his palm. The shrill of noises gathered in a form sphere. Benny directed it to the entity. Like an exploding balloon, the sphere of compressed noised and matter had reached its maximum limit. A loud boom rang and lay ho, the ravaging blades of winds and the compressed noised itself destroyed the trees within the range. The only left is the swirling dust and breeze that whistled its way.

Benny grinned and walked five steps forward before realizing that Mr. Funny Man’s presence is still around. His observation magic had automatically activated. Benny’s observation allowed him to see trails of mana everywhere. The manas around took a form as a string. He surveyed around but to no avail.

Mr. Funny Man was quietly observing Benny. A smirk form in his lips. Mr. Funny Man as of now is peering through his pocket dimension. A door, invincible to his eyes appeared behind him.

The slightest creaked from the wooden door alerted him. Benny pulled out his blade and swung to his back but only to hit air and stopped in midway. Mr. Funny Man’s hands gripped him in attempt to pull him inside. However, Benny had kicked the other hand and broke free.

Benny lurched backward and waited for Mr. Funny Man to reveal himself.

Mr. Funny Man got out and started to levitate.

“Hoh.” Mr. Funny Man started. “Is sensing intention part of your ability as well?”

Benny slightly nodded. “So, what if it is?”

“It’s quite troublesome.”

“This time will be different.”

Benny grunted. He began to gather noises and compresses it again. The shrilling bomb of his noise compression magic was continuously bombarded and effectively evading his wind magic Mr. Funny Man while the both of them kept safe while cancelling each other’s attacks.

Linda got up prepared to face the perpetrator. She glanced around but saw no one. A white puffed under her breath appeared as the cold wind swayed it.

She looked at her arm as a cut appeared completely unknown in her range of vision. Instantaneously, she heard whizzled around her back and the steamy bloodthirstiness lingered in the air. Her sword was completely wrapped in ice.

Linda spun over her heels. The crackled ice cut through the wind. For a moment, the light glimmered brightly and momentarily blinded the invincible enemy.

Karen winced and lurched back away. The spell has been broken.

“Simple yet annoying ability.” Linda stated. “But I got to admit, your ability is perfect for assassination. You know, we could use people like you.”

“It’s a hard pass.” Karen responded. “My boss paid me a lot and frankly enough.”

Karen’s body began to glittered in different colors and once again vanished in Linda’s sight.

“Fair enough.” Linda muttered.

Now that the enemy’s ability has been completely revealed, Linda can’t carelessly let her guard down. She may have sharp senses but there are still that does not sound right. The last time she managed to stunned the enemy, she felt her bloodlust, and because of it, Linda completely sensed her. But now there is nothing. She can’t feel any change in the atmosphere as if Karen’s presence had completely gone.

“Could it be...?!”

Linda considered the possibility that the enemy might have left her.

Linda was about to dashed away when something tried to cut her back. The armor she wore bounced off the Karen landed.

Linda quickly swung her sword but in vain. The cold shadow of Karen’s completely slipped through her sword.

Another cut appeared in her legs. Her latex suit is completely torn and exposed a part of her skin.

Karen gained a safe distance before Linda could cut her.

Karen’s attention is simple as it is. She aimed to weaken the enemy reducing the blood in her system, in that way she won’t forcefully use too much mana, but it appeared that Linda won’t be taken down that easily.
