"Then you know what you should do?" Derekh Malone glanced at his friend and smiled.

"Let's go crazy then. You can release me now!" Duran Ambrose also smiled. The wind around him disappeared and he fell from the air. At this moment, Duran Ambrose used his skill, [Elemental Assimilation].

Frost's aura burst out from his body and covered his figure. The figure landed on the ground, where the fire was raging.

Sssshhh! Ssshhh! Sssshhh!

Sizzling noise resounded as the fire died down.

Fwoosh!

The frost's aura burst out and revealed the figure behind the frost aura. Duran Ambrose's white fur had turned blue as his fur kept releasing the frost aura. The fire tried to reach him but the frost aura subsided the fire. Ice also formed around his footing, around a five meters area. That became the barrier as the fire could not reach Duran Ambrose.

The fire then formed an enormous wave and flooded toward Duran Ambrose. The latter waved his hand toward the fire and formed a shield. The shield was made of the frost aura. The fire wave was reflected by the shield and the shield stayed still. Different from the ice, it could withstand the fire.

"The playtime is over, it's time for you to die!" Duran Ambrose spoke with his wolfy tone. Each of his steps, the freezing ground widened as well. The fire was not strong enough to face Duran Ambrose's frost aura.

Swoosh!

Duran Ambrose no longer walked as he rushed toward Tang Shaoyang. On the way toward Tang Shaoyang, he picked up his shield that had become red from being heated by the fire. Of course, the heated shield could not hurt him as the frost aura instantly cooled the shield down.

Duran Ambrose became a lot faster with the trick he used. Tang Shaoyang could tell that within the glance, but not fast enough to catch him in surprise, "I expect this from an Epic Rank. I hope you don't disappoint me," Tang Shaoyang muttered as he maneuvered the battle-ax in his hand.

Tang Shaoyang remained still in his position as he raised his Dragon Destroyer. When Duran Ambrose arrived in front of him, he swung his battle-ax downward. Duran had expected the strike as he raised his shield to block the battle-ax.

Bang!

The sound of the clash of the battle-ax against the shield echoed. It was just a powerful swing without using a skill, Duran Ambrose easily blocked the attack. The Frost Knight however prepared the counter as he stabbed his sword toward Tang Shaoyang's chest. At the same time, Tang Shaoyang launched his second attack as well. The fire wave formed again behind Duran Ambrose. He controlled the fire wave as it flooded toward Duran Ambrose and himself. At the same time, Tang Shaoyang pulled the Dragon Destroyer and took a side step.

Swoosh!

The sword missed, at the same time the fire wave was about to hit Duran Ambrose from the back. However, Derekh Malone landed right behind Duran. A giant hurricane formed with three of them as the center. The hurricane revolved wildly, reflecting all the fire.

While Duran Ambrose's sword missed the stab, it suddenly made an L-turn and aimed at Tang Shaoyang's chest. It was as if the sword was alive and targeted him. They were in the middle of a hurricane, if he leaped backward, he would be swept away by the hurricane. His only choice was to block the attack.

He brought up the battle-ax's blade's flat surface and positioned it on his chest, blocking the sword stab.

Dang!

The clash rang, this time it was between the sword and the battle-ax. Tang Shaoyang kept his balance despite the strong force behind the sword's stab, "Do you really love to attack from the back, Derekh Malone!?" through the [Spirit Eyes], he could see Derekh Malone was blended within the hurricane and tried to attack him from the back.

Through the [Spirit eyes], he could also tell that Derekh Malone attacked him with a normal attack. There was no fancy or something peculiar from the spear. Tang Shaoyang activated all his defensive skills at the same time, [Dragon Scale], [Mana Shroud], and [Flame Shield]. The black scales surfaced on his outer appearance except for his head. The clothes he wore blended with the black scale as well.

Dang!

The tip of the spear pierced the invisible [Flame Shield]. It broke the shield and a wave of fire countered and spread toward Derekh Malone. Thanks to the fierce hurricane, the flame was swept away before it could reach him. Thanks to the [Flame Shield], the spear momentum was reduced as it hit the second layer of defense, [Mana Shroud].

The spear tore the second layer defense, but the force behind the spear had been reduced significantly. Finally, the tip of the spear reached the scale.

Ding!

The spear failed to pierce the scale, it even bounced back. The spear could not even leave a scratch on the scale. Derekh Malone was without a doubt surprised that his Epic Grade spear failed to tear the scale.

Meanwhile, Duran Ambrose did not stay idle. He took a step forward and pushed the shield forward, slamming the shield toward Tang Shaoyang. Tang Shaoyang suddenly smiled as the wind started to surround him. Five wind vortexes formed in front of the shield and stopped the shield from slamming into his body.

It was the same technique used by Derekh Malone, but Tang Shaoyang managed to use it through the [Elemental Manipulation].

"What!?" Duran Ambrose was shocked to see what happened. Without a doubt, it was Wind Elemental Power, but the man in front of him was supposed to have only Earth Elemental Power and Fire Elemental Power. How could he use the third Elemental Power, Wind? No one in history could use three Elemental Powers.

"Let's see if you can defend my wind blade. Stay back, Duran!" Derekh Malone yelled at his friends. Duran snapped out of his daze as he heard the yell. He leaped back as the wind blade from the hurricane rained down at Tang Shaoyang.

Countless wind blades rained him down. The wind formed a crescent shape and shot toward him. The blade cut through everything including the ground as if it was tofu. The dust rose and covered the inner area of the hurricane.
