Chapter 176 - Will Be Uploading Tonight. Working On It

Zephyr had a smirk as he looked at the group that had surrounded them, and he was thinking of the best method to utilize his strengths. He knew that his flame was strongest at night, and this was the worst time for him to use the flame.

Maxine had her weapon out and it was a whip sword. It was a flexible weapon, and once Mana was injected into the weapon, it would become sturdy like a sword. 

Vanessa had three daggers going around her at high speeds, and it formed a silver ring around her. It was her shield and weapon, and the way she was controlling was Telekinesis.

Maxine was a healer, but her Mana had twin purposes. She could heal someone, and she could suck their life vitality out of them slowly. This was one of the reasons why she was a powerful person in the group. 

Jasper was at the back, and he was assessing the situation, and since they were in the trees, he could use the shadows to his advantage. The four of them had their wepaons ready, and Maxine was the first to express her doubt.

After running for a few minutes, they came across a village which was deserted just like the ones before. He was thinking about where everyone was, and that was when he remembered something.

"But that place can't hold the whole Kingdom! It isn't that large, and I am sure the nobles wouldn't sit around allowing Dad to develop something this big", he thought as he was running much faster than before. 

His speed didn't slow down and began to pick up, as he saw nothing in the vicinity. Not one soul was in sight, and even the houses had been cleaned up very efficiently.

"It seems like my guess was right. Just when did Dad make something like this? And the resources must have cost a lot", he began to calculate the amount that must have taken from the Treasury.

"It's not that we lack money or anything, but if it was to save the lives, then I am sure not just dad, even I would spend the money in a heartbeat", he concluded from his research. He turned around and looked at Vanessa.

"Can you try now?", he asked. She tried once more, and she could connect it to someone in the vicinity. But it wasn't Ben, and Zephyr was taken aback.

"Maybe I should just call him", he thought as he pulled out his GlassPad. He was about to call him, but he heard footsteps from behind him.

He placed it back inside and looked around. His senses were telling him to run, but he didn't and pulled out his sword and Kunai. The others did the same, with Jasper in the center of them all due to him being weakened.

From the shadows stepped out a team of Beastmen, and Zephyr had a smile on his face. 

"And I was just getting bored with all this silence", he said as he looked at the number of people that had surrounded him.

"Will we be able to deal with them?", she asked skeptically. Zephyr had a smile on his face as he looked at all of his opponents and scanned their strengths.

"I am sure we can, and we have taken down many more people down than this bunch of ragtags", he said in a scoff, which enraged the people that were around him. Everyone began to huff in anger, but they were waiting for someone to give the command for them to attack.

The leader, who was in front of Zephyr looked him in the eye and extended his finger towards him. The smile on his face faded, and Zephyr had a serious face right after he saw the finger. 

The moemnt the finger was extended, everyone began to make their move. They all charged in ready to kill the four of them and gain their points which they were so desperate for. 

Jasper began to use Darikness Hop, which was to move from one place to another with the help of shadows. This was helping gain an advantage over the others as he was appearing and disappearing randomly, and as he was covered completely which cast his shadow, he used it as the base to begin his jump.

Vanessa didn't move from her place, and she picked out four more knives. The three that were spinning around her were not for attacks but onlty for defense. The other four knives were now weaving through the enemies, cutting them down slowly.

"I thank you for the shadow", came a voice from behind her and went away. She knew who it was and the reason, as Jasper had a limit to how much he can use it in the sunlight. 

He went on massacaring, and he was unable to use the blod control like he could during the night, as it also needed his full strength to use it. Maxine was just standing there looking at everyone going on a killing spree, and a smile had formed on her face.

"A buff would be nice", said Zephyr as he ran past her to kill another opponent. The smile widened and she used her dagger to cut a small wound on a person that was coming towards them. She began to chant a spell, and everyone was covered in a green hue.

The man who was the leader saw this and his intsintcs were telling him to kill Maxine first. But the moment he made his move, he felt a chill from his back and ducked. A blade went past his hair, slicing it in the split second.

"You're fast. Fight me", said Jasper as he looked at him. The man did a partial transformation, and he turned his hands into that of an ape. 

"The Martial Ape. I wonder if you have the qualifications to be one though", he said as he looked at him. The man was furious as he launched himslef towards Jasper, and he did a punch straight to his face.

Jasper avoided it quite easily as he moved ot the side and gave him a punch of his own, and he felt his hand go numb from the punch. He was astonished at first, but he saw that in that split second, he had transformed the part of his face that was gong to recieve thw atack and defended against his punch.

He had a wide smile as he began to go wild, and the boht of them were throwing punhces around. Zephyr saw it and was about to condemn him, but the smile on his face made him stop.

"Seems like he is enjoying this. It has been a long time since I have seen that smile on his face", he thought as he slashed another one of his opponents down. Maxine had given her buff, and it was agility.

Although the three of them were fast, an increase in agility helped them even up the speed to catch up with every opponent, making them stay back and attack cautiously now. There were many bedies lying around, and every one of them had a green hue around them.

Maxine's eyes had trned green, and she was now buffing everyone with all kinds of stats that she could think of. Most of them were directed towards Jasper, as he was the most weakest at the moment due to the sun being out.

He was punching and analysing his opponent, and the fight had just begun. There were blasts in the air as his strengthw as increasing rapidly, and the leader saw that Maxine was giving him boosts which was making him unable to cope up with Jasper.

He commanded his people to attack them, and to kill the 'witch', which was none other than Maxine. The moment she heard the word,omething inside here snapped, and Jasper quickly moved to the side.

"You should not have done that", he said as he moved away from him. She was now in front of him, and her hair was fluttering in the wind as she moved towards him menacingly. 

The man felt chills as he looked at her, and the moment he made his move, he saw her disappear from the place. She reappeared behind him, and he turned around to hit her once again. 

This time his punch went through, but what he saw was something that confused him more. His attack went through her, but there was np blood or anything. Maxine faded from his hands in smoke, and he began to look around him.

"Seems like the buffs I have used myself is working. This is the first time I used the skill successfully", she thought as she was on top of a tree. She was looking below, and everyone was looking for her.
