EVERNA Ring of Fire

TUBAR'E Part 7

One thing was certain, there were indeed some people who were fighting against the Dabongsang Brothers at the moment. But Sthira alone is like an egg on the tip of the horn with a single attack of twin axes Dabongsang Zakuay only.

However, the experienced swordsman from Kalingga reacted very quickly and precisely. The swing of the large mandau precisely stopped the speed of the two axes, causing a loud clanking sound. Afraid of Sthira's counterattack, Zakuay quickly kept his distance.

Seeing the gap of opportunity to attack Zakuay directly within the scope of the gangsters, Sthira turned towards Dhaka and Wiranata. It turned out that Dhaka was still busy protecting Wiranata and was still fighting fiercely against Hurek and the other men.

  Sthira had set her main target, so her entire attention was now focused on that target. I entrust Hurek to you, his mind.

Still in top condition, of course Zakuay moves agilely out of the crowd. "Don't just stand up, you're all killing Sthira!" his orders.

Zakuay was the supreme leader, but he was not his sister's sexatria. Hurek did not want to sacrifice his men to weaken the opponent. At first glance the thought made Sthira snort cynically and move faster. The sheer prowess of his skull and the blood splashed here and there proved Zakuay's tactics were only cheap and market-like. It was only useful so that Zakuay could steal the attack from the gap of the crowd again.

This time, Zakuay's surprise attack never came, even until Sthira managed to break through the siege and face the target.

It turns out that Zakuay knows the same tactics won't work twice in the same fight. Sthira's eyes grew sharper looking at the fattener, trying not to be careless and keep track of the slightest movement made by the eldest Dabongsang.

The criminals who were supposed to be cloaking Sthira again moved back and forth. Moreover, seeing their colleagues who had been sprawled, continuing to carry out Zakuay's orders was tantamount to suicide.

So Zakuay exclaimed, "Enough! Let me mess up Kalingga's sweet face!" He advanced towards Sthira who happened to be standing in the middle of the arena. Other criminals have to leave. "In addition, the style of the Shipwreck in my flagship Black Vortex is enough to finish him off!"

Zakuay rounded his speech by extending his hands straight ahead. The two hands were as if directing the whirlpool of Black Water Energy from the body of his smithy towards the target.

Instantly, Sthira felt himself confined, surrounded by a powerful eroding energy from all directions, like a sailing ship that was trapped and tossed around in a powerful whirlpool in the middle of the ocean. Unless he could dig and get deep into the ground, there was no way to dodge at all.

Forced Sthira to fight, trying to ward off the opponent's attack with a matching style. His swing sent the Thunderbolt Shock Wave in all directions as well. The strength of the two fighters' moves is almost equal, but the speed of the Sthira movement broke Zakuay's movement that tends to be agile-starting.

Finally, the shockwave of Sthira managed to break through Zakuay's energy siege. In fact, the rest of the waves were crashing in all directions, hitting Zakuay and some criminals. Two of the worst-hit criminals were killed instantly, the rest were lightly or severely injured.

Zakuay's fertile body itself slammed into the wall, then fell on the ground floor. He just lay there, flinching.

Seeing the opportunity to finish off the opponent, Sthira was about to charge forward. His head was clasped tightly, ready to make Zakuay's head float. Suddenly his movement stopped. Sthira clutched her own chest, there was a tremendous itch, pain and soreness there, as well as all over her body.

It turned out that the opponent's Black Water Energy was also regarding Sthira. The influence of the water scrape is rather slow to react because it is held back and must first infiltrate through the protective prana layer. Somehow since when, Sthira again felt an unbearable torment. He was screaming in pain, it felt like his body would explode at any moment.

Zakuay is no better than his opponent. He vomited blood and stood up with difficulty. His body convulsed, the effect of Sthira's lightning energy was still felt.

With his brother in distress, Hurek was already away from his fight against Dhaka just before Zakuay chanted his name. So almost instantly, the two Dabongsang Brothers had stood side by side.

"What's up, brother? Are we going to deploy the forbidden technique of Black Water Energy?" ask Hurek.

"Yes, forced. You're overwhelmed yourself, aren't you?" respond to Zakuay with a bitter smile. "Remember Hurek, if only one of us survives after exerting it, he must continue the leadership and continuity of Dabongsang power!"

"Again, even though I wish we were both safe. Let's get started, brother."

"Yes, my sister."

Instantly, a field of Black Water Energy roiled like foam and waves around the bodies of the Dabongsang Brothers.

Seeing that, Dhaka and Wiranata quickly approached Sthira. Dhaka exclaimed, "Wire, the energy that the two Dabongsang radiated was far more powerful than the one before! Dhaka doesn't know about this!"

"really?" Sthira was surprised not artificial. "One reason alone, because they launched a combined style, we must deny it by uniting our prana as well! Comeing! Since I'm still injured, I'm channeling the rest of my man into your body, Dhaka!"

Wiranata chimed in, "Me too! Accept this little bit of my man's savings, use your strongest moves!"

"But...! Alright!" No more time to think too long, Dhaka gathered all the energy he could get, plus the intake of internal energy from Sthira and Wiranata. His body shimmered brightly, his scales looked sparkling. "Hopefully the clutches of Dhaka Cave Ruins are superior!"

The pressure on Sthira and his comrades reached its peak as Zakuay exclaimed, "The three of you are too great a threat to Dabongsang, worthy of being exterminated with the forbidden move, Black Water Flooding Mayapada!"

Shouted with loud screams, the two Dabongsang brothers came forward. A large and powerful Hurek rested on his feet, swirling around like a trance. Not only that, he also twirled his brother's short-fat body, grasping Zakuay's legs tightly like swinging a pole or teak tree trunk.

While Zakuay spouted out as much Black Water Energy from his hands and mouth, spilling everything in all directions, regardless of friend or foe. All the villains of Dabongsang's men had run away in disarray just before the move was deployed. But some unfortunate people were exposed to the ultimate energy and died with a crumbling body, as if melted.

Now, only Dhaka is able to prevent himself, Sthira and Wiranata fared the same as the criminals. No matter what Dhaka thought, the Clinging Gua Ruins movement instead looked like the opening sequence, Spear Hunjaman Stroke.

Dhaka just went ahead and hit his spear very quickly, repeatedly to one target point. His intent was to disperse the Black Water Energy that was charging towards him and continue breaking through to the main target, whether it was Hurek or Zakuay.

However, regardless of all that, winning or losing, life or death was only really determined when the core of both the water and land jutsu collided.

To whom will destiny take sides?
