War in the Forest of Argentina Part: 5

Several minutes ago, Before Elder Chiban Died.

Dalius and Erza were fighting nonstop, As both of them used different combat methods in attempts to defeat one another.

Dalius who had the S-Rank Deviant Unique skill called Gravitation, Can levitate and release a massive force of Gravity within a five meter radius that consumes alot of Mana called Down force.

Which he only uses in times of dire situations that he can't handle.

But after facing Erza, He knew that he needed to use Down force, In order to beat her.

As Erza got closer, She fought Dalius in close combat with Swordsmanship, Spearmanship and Dagger arts, Whilst overpowering him, Showing Dalius who had the upper hand.

Dalius was forced unto defensive, While Erza became offensive. Continuously swinging her swords rapidly in an extreme pace, That even his eyes had a hard time catching up to her movements.

Fuck, What is this Bitch!? Why is she so fast and unpredictable!?" He pondered, Showing hints of worries.

Meanwhile Erza wore an unwavering expression, Showing definite confidence and seriousness in her eyes as she overwhelmed Dalius.

Her swordsmanship were profound and unpredictable, Boosted by her extreme speed while combining her threads in her fighting method made Dalius hesitant on attacking recklessly.

Their fighting continued, And without realizing, Dalius bumped unto the Ice barricade, Noticing that he had been pushed back to this extent.

"You dare belittle me!" He yelled angrily, Releasing down force towards Erza.

While Erza instantly dropped unto the ground with her face flatten towards the ground, As the floor began cracking intensely after being compressed by an insane amount of gravity that pushed Erza down with extreme force.

Erza instantly used Mana armament, And enhanced her physique, Slowly standing whilst enduring the force that tried to push her down.

"I-Impossible!" Dalius uttered shockingly after seeing Erza resist his Down force.

Without uttering a single word, Erza instantly formed a spear coated in mana and threw it towards Dalius, In which canceled his Down force after evading the Spear she had thrown.

Erza then disappeared, And reappeared infront of the worried Dalius, About to slash him vertically from above.

Dalius instantly pulled a sword from the ground with his skill, And was about to block Erza's attack. But due to the unfathomable speed Erza displayed, Dalius couldn't react in time and ended receiving a massive wound on the chest as his blood splattered all over.

Dalius was about to use Down force again, But instantly flinched after seeing Erza's crimson eyes, Boiling with killing intent As she sliced off Dalius' head, Slowly rotating his point of view as his perception and consciousness began withering.

His head flew and landed unto the ground with its eyes opened, While his body fell unto his knees as blood showered from his neck like a fountain.

Erza then swung her sword, Removing the blood that stained her blade while uttering in a serious manner, "Filthy Draconian."

After erza won her battle against Dalius, A Goblin suddenly shouted that Elder Chiban had fallen.

That's when she immediately climbed unto the Ice barricade and saw from afar, That Chiban was lying on the ground lifeless. While Demise slowly walked towards the Northern part of the forest, Heading towards Axel's direction.

Oh no, Young one..." She mumbled through her head and hurriedly ran, Chasing after Demise.

While Gileyn noticed that Erza left, Without Dalius chasing her.

Fuck!? Did Dalius Die...!?" Gileyn pondered in anger, Devoured by rage and instantly exuded a dense aura that covered her body.

Garudo instantly rushed towards Her, And was about to swing his Axe, While Gileyn performed a swordsmanship stance and vanished while uttering, "Flashing Swordsmanship, First form, Flash step."

Reappearing behind Garudo and was about to swing her sword, But was blocked by Almasin with his sharp claws, As it ignited a spark after their attack's collided.

Almasin instantly ducked, And behind him was Garudo who swung his great axe towards Gileyn that blew her away after she tried blocking it.

Gileyn was sent flying, While Almasin chased as he ran hurriedly with all fours, And caught up beside Gileyn whilst pouncing towards her.

Gileyn instantly raised her sword, And blocked Almasin's attack, And was once again blown away towards the ground that made her stumble and rolled continuously. As she raised her head, She saw a silhouette of Garudo, Standing infront of her and was about to cut her in half.

With Gileyn's reflexes she manage to roll sideways and dodge Garudo's attack, As it struck the ground, Forcing the floor to crumble by his powerful strength.

In that instance, Gileyn once again noticed that Almasin was already behind her, Ready to claw her into pieces.

Continuously attacking, And not giving Gileyn any time to spare, With their simultaneous offensive attacks.

Gileyn once again dodged Almasin's claws by instincts, And did a back flip, Overall evading Almasin's attack.

But as her body turned, Garudo was above and instantly kicked her downwards with a falling Axe kick.

She managed to block it after raising her arms, But the impact was too strong that somehow made her bounce unto the solid ground like a ball, Leaving cracks all over the floor as she coughed blood.

Fuck! Ugh..." She murmured through her mind, Without able to to think of a way to escape, Slowly thinking of Barto.

But as she tried to glance at Barto, Almasin thoroughly punched her stomach, Destroying her armor into bits and blows her further away several meters from their position.

She continuously rolled all over the place and crashed towards several Draconian knights.

While Almasin and Garudo breathed heavily and sighed, After feeling relieved.

Barto was on his knees, Completely depleted in mana. While Beru was barely standing as he endured unbearably searing pains on his mana core.

"Fucking Draconian... Why don't you just fall down." Beru uttered and slowly fell unconscious, Crashing towards the ground.

While Barto stood up, Panting heavily as searing pains struck him from within, And noticed that Gileyn was on the verge of losing. While Dalius was nowhere to be seen on the battlefield.

Realizing that Demise had disappeared into the northern parts of the forest, He instantly grew a pair of wings and picked up Gileyn, And started flying towards the Northern parts of the forest with all his might.

Leaving Almasin and Garudo running towards Beru, Whilst knowing that they have manage to force the Draconian Captains to retreat.

Garudo instantly raised his Axe, And roared throughout the battlefield loudly. "The Draconian Captains had fall back! This battle is ours!" As his voice echoed throughout the entire place, The monster people's morale instantly rose and fought vigorously against the remaining Draconian Knights.

Without showing hints of fear against the overwhelming odds in their numbers, They continued fighting until their last breathes cease to exist.

.....

....

Meanwhile Erza continuously ran through the forest, Trying to search for Axel's whereabouts. In which she could not get ahold of which direction they went, She even lost the Draconian Commander's location as she ran around the forest nonstop.

Where did they go? I'm sure they headed northwest, But why can't I find them..?? I've been running for several hours now. Did they keep on running..? Ugh, I hope the young one's okay. I better hurry..." Erza pondered deeply, Showing hints of worries and uneasiness, Desperately trying to search for Axel.

Time passed, And Axel along with several monster people were resting beyond further north of the Forest.

As they tried hiding between the huge boulders that they've found within the northern part of Argentina.

Mayu was still unconscious, And kept on jolting as she wore a distressful expression.

Axel knew that she was suffering from mana depletion. He then began thinking of a technique, That could somehow transfer mana similar to Mana tethering.

And after several hours passed, He finally invented a new mana technique which he called, Mana Transfer.

Circulating the Mana within him and redirecting towards his mana veins, Slowly releasing towards his hand and Continuously transferring it towards another Body like an active river flowing through as he connected a stream towards him and Mayu.

Meanwhile the women and children along with him, Started panicking and felt unease, Without the protection of the Monster people warriors.

"Ugh, Why are they being noisy now..." He murmured to himself, Feeling agitated by the noise, And continued to ignore their cries of uneasiness, And steadily focused on transferring mana towards Mayu.
