The moment Juyew finished speaking, he disappeared.
Kil Ful’s Eyesight activated instantly.
"Left!"
Maddy reacted immediately.
Juyew appeared beside him and threw a powerful punch.
Maddy crossed both daggers in front of his body and blocked it.
The impact sent him sliding across the ground.
Maddy looked at his arms.
"They’re shaking..."
Before he could recover, Juyew appeared in front of him again.
Kil Ful rushed forward.
His sword collided with Juyew’s fist.
The force of the clash pushed both of them backward.
Kil Ful quickly moved his energy through his legs and increased his speed.
He disappeared from Juyew’s sight and attacked from behind.
Juyew turned around at the last moment.
Kil Ful’s sword passed close to his shoulder.
Juyew smiled.
"Good reflexes."
He kicked Kil Ful in the stomach.
Kil Ful flew backward and crashed into an abandoned house.
Maddy immediately attacked.
His Epic Reflexes allowed him to change direction instantly.
He moved around Juyew at incredible speed.
One dagger came from the left.
The second came from the right.
Juyew blocked both attacks.
Maddy suddenly disappeared from his front.
"Invisible Attack!"
A powerful invisible kick struck Juyew from the side.
Juyew moved backward.
Maddy continued.
"Invisible Attack Barrage!"
Dozens of invisible punches and kicks came from different directions.
Juyew blocked several attacks, but some hit his body.
For the first time, Juyew was pushed back.
Kil Ful saw the opening.
He rushed forward with his sword.
His Eyesight allowed him to read Juyew’s energy flow.
Kil Ful predicted his next movement and changed the direction of his sword at the last second.
Juyew barely avoided the attack.
Kil Ful followed with another strike.
Then another.
His speed kept increasing.
Maddy joined him.
The two attacked Juyew from opposite sides.
Juyew blocked Kil Ful’s sword and dodged Maddy’s dagger.
But Kil Ful manipulated his energy around his sword.
The energy suddenly changed direction.
Juyew’s eyes widened.
The blade moved toward him from an unexpected angle.
He quickly jumped backward.
"So that’s your ability," Juyew said.
Kil Ful didn’t answer.
He rushed forward again.
Juyew suddenly released more power.
A massive shockwave exploded from his body.
Kil Ful and Maddy were thrown backward.
Rony tried to stop himself with his hammer, but even he was pushed away.
Juyew slowly walked toward them.
"You’re strong for Elites."
He raised his hand.
"But you’re still far below me."
Juyew attacked.
Kil Ful blocked the first punch.
The second punch hit his shoulder.
The third struck his chest.
Kil Ful was sent flying.
Maddy tried to intercept Juyew.
But Juyew caught both of his wrists.
Maddy struggled.
Juyew threw him into the ground.
Maddy rolled several times before stopping.
Rony immediately rushed forward.
"Enough!"
He swung his huge hammer with all his strength.
Juyew blocked it with one hand.
Rony’s eyes widened.
Juyew kicked him away.
Rony flew across the village and landed on his back.
Kil Ful slowly stood up.
Maddy also got back to his feet.
Both were breathing heavily.
Juyew looked at them.
"You can’t defeat me like this."
Kil Ful wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth.
"We don’t need to defeat you easily."
Maddy smiled.
"We just need one chance."
They attacked again.
Maddy activated his Epic Reflexes to their limit.
He moved so quickly that his position became difficult to follow.
"Invisible Attack Barrage!"
Invisible punches and kicks struck Juyew from every direction.
Kil Ful followed every opening with his sword.
His Eyesight read the flow of Juyew’s energy.
He manipulated his own energy around his body, increasing his speed and strengthening his attacks.
For the first time, Juyew was forced to defend continuously.
But suddenly—
Juyew released another burst of power.
Both Kil Ful and Maddy were thrown away.
Rony stood up.
He looked at his friends.
Something inside him began to change.
His breathing became slower.
His grip on the hammer tightened.
A strange feeling spread through his body.
"What is this...?"
Black energy started leaking from his body.
Maddy looked at him.
"Rony?"
The black energy became stronger.
A dark aura surrounded Rony.
The ground beneath his feet cracked.
Juyew stopped moving.
For the first time, his expression changed.
"What power is that?"
Rony raised his head.
His eyes were filled with determination.
"This is something I’ve never used before..."
The black aura suddenly exploded around him.
Rony’s new ability had awakened.
Black Force.
The ability allowed Rony to cover his body and hammer with a mysterious black aura that greatly increased his physical strength and allowed him to absorb part of the force of attacks before releasing it back with greater power.
Rony grabbed his hammer.
"Now..."
He looked directly at Juyew.
"I’m joining the fight."
Juyew became serious.
Rony charged forward.
His hammer collided with Juyew’s fist.
BOOM!
The entire street cracked.
Juyew was pushed backward.
Kil Ful looked at Rony in surprise.
"His strength increased..."
Maddy smiled.
"Finally."
He spun both daggers in his hands.
"Now the three of us can fight together."
Kil Ful raised his sword.
Rony stood beside him with his black aura surrounding his body.
Maddy moved to the other side.
Juyew stared at them.
His expression became completely serious.
"Interesting."
He released his full pressure.
The abandoned village shook.
Kil Ful activated Eyesight.
Maddy activated Epic Reflexes.
Rony’s Black Force burned around his body.
The three charged forward at the same time.
The battle against Juyew had entered its next stage.
