Seeing Ellis and Ray whispering to each other, Jerald chuckle before saying.

" No matter what you are thinking of doing won't be helpful in this situation".

Jerald began to walk towards them while swinging his blade around.

With his hand on the blade, Ray stretched his body before replying to Jerald.

" Whether it will work, we'll have to see about that" said Ray before sending wind slash after wind slash at Jerald.

" That silly skill of yours is like a child's play in my eyes, why don't you just come lay your head down for me to slaughter and save me the stress of beating you to a pulp" said Jerald while deflecting all Ray's attack.

Ignoring Jerald, Ray continue to send his wind slash at Jerald to keep him busy while Ellis was busy gathering the energy in his body in preparation for the surprise attack. Seeing that his other opponent is not fighting alongside the other instead was just standing there and the surprising thing is that the spiritual energy in his body is expanding like the life force in his body is been drain from him.

' I have to stop him from completing what he is about to do' thought Jerald before sending a kick at Ray which sent him stumbling all the way back giving him enough time to deal with Ellis.

" Shit he's going after Ellis" said Ray while gritting his teeth.

Pulling himself from the ground, Ray tossed a basic Mana potion to regain the loss of spiritual energy in his body before dashing at Jerald but this time he was faster than before. The reason why he was able to gain more speed was due to the unused free stats he gained from leveling up to the 10 level of the QI refining realm granting him speed equivalent to a foundation realm expert.

Turning around to see what was heading his way at an incredible speed, Jerald was able to block the attack only to see Ray vanishing at once only to see a strike going for his left hand only for the strike to disappear all of a sudden when he was about to block the strike once more. And that when he felt a strong pain in his stomach with a knee pressed hard on it. Pushing himself back, Ray was able to move to another angle where Jerald had not been protecting sending a wind slash at him which cause a big wound to appear on Jerald back with blood spilling out.

But before he could pull himself back a punch was thrown at him which send him falling a distance from Jerald.

Landing on the ground, Ray was just about to get up and continue his assault, but that's when he heard the sound.

" CRACK"

The sound came from his right shoulder that was hit by the fist.

" Dammit, how can he be so strong even after being wounded badly" said Ray while standing with a shoulder down.

Since the beginning that they have been fighting Jerald, this was the first time they were able to get a hit on him. Seeing Ray getting up after receiving his attack, Jerald was so angry to the point where he could not hold himself back and began to run towards Ray like a beast that has lost his reasoning and started swinging his blade at him. Being extremely injured internal, Ray was finding it difficult to dodge Jerald attacks and wound were beginning to appear all over his body.

Left with no choice Ray sent a wind slash at Jerald and since he was too close to him, he was sent flying by the force behind the attack and fell on the ground with no strength whatsoever to get back up.

Meanwhile, Jerald did not fare too well from the attack. Ray looked at him with a smile on his face when he saw how miserable Jerald.

" I will make you pay dearly for this" said Jerald with a painful look on his face while placing his hand on his missing arm.

" Hahaha I thought you were so confident about your own strength" replied Ray while dragging himself back up.

Ignoring Ray mocking, Jerald decided to seal the wound with his spiritual energy to stop the bleeding before going at Ray again. Being drain of his strength Ray was just dodging attack after attack and when he could not dodge an attack, he will move backwards, but he was not able to keep it up, and eventually he was sent flying.

" I am going to make you suffer slowly before taking your life" said Jerald while walking to where Ray landed.

Getting on his feet Ray was breathing heavily while blood was running from his mouth. Holding his blade he gazed at Jerald.

Wiping the blood from his mouth, Ray began to channel the energy in his body and before long his blade begin to blaze. After storing enough energy, Ray swing the blade at Jerald direction which send a tiny fireball.

Seeing the harmless firelight Harding his way, Jerald began to chuckle.

" Is that the best you could do before drawing your last breath" said Jerald while walking forward.

After sending the attack, Ray fell down after drawing himself dry of energy.

The tiny fireball fell close to Jerald feet, and before he could proceed forward.

" BOOM"

The fireball erupted with a powerful explosion with Jerald been caught in the aftermath and after sometimes the flame went back down and within the flame stood Jerald whom seen pitch black and was heavily injured.

" No one will be able to save you this time around" said Jerald while walking to where Ray was laying.

Ray just lay there with a smile on his face.

" Keep smile for it will be your last" said Jerald in anger.

Before Jerald could walk forward a slender young man appear in front of him with his fist held under his stomach, the young man was no other than Ellis who has been to suck dry for using the Mighty Lion Fury technique.

" This is the end of the line for you Jerald" said Ellis before throwing his fist at Jerald which hit him accurately on the chest.

" MIGHTY LION FURY" yelled Ellis and what came next was a gigantic lion head that sent Jerald flying while screaming in agony before busting everywhere.

Falling in his feet, Ellis turn to Ray who is strangling to keep his eyes open.

" We did it Ray".

" Yeah, now all we have to do is rest before searching for the orb" replied Ray before closing his eyes and feel asleep.
