Master Of Myths

Certainly the air bullets were much slower than actual guns but were much nastier if they found purchase

\'It also has a really hard shell, both of these guys have great defence, I almost regret not fighting the tiger\'

Though the tiger was the strongest of the three it was also the most vulnerable to him, sadly its weak defence was made up for by great speed and since he didn\'t have usable hands it would be impossible to dodge those quick attacks and counter with his own using only legs

\'Hmm, I guess I need to waste my knives to put an end to these two bulky rascals\'

The troll used aura to cover its already tough skin while the sphere had bronze-like skin which made great armour but even then that wouldn\'t help them against the spatial knives explosion, a great but costly weapon

\'I really didn\'t want to part with them so fast\'

There were plenty of uses for these knives but Ellis would need help any time now

Thinking of the redhead he glanced at her battle out of the corner of his eye only to note the tiger\'s sorry figure trying its best to land a hit on the elusive swordswoman

\'She\'s actually winning? How is she doing it….Oh, I see, that\'s some quick improvement, hmm I might not have to waste my weapons\'

With but a few glances he recognised the stance linking she did which surprised him a little that she mastered it without any practice, the two were together all the time so he knew it was comprehended on the spot

"Guess its time I show what I learned as well"

Ellis wasn\'t the only quick learner, his own comprehension speed was by far one of the best of his race and with a plethora of aura holders to watch he\'d already learned of a way to make use of his own mysterious aura

Black smoke billowed out of his evading figure alarming the two attackers before their bodies were hidden inside the expanding cover, not only sight but even their sound was no longer sensible to anyone outside nor to each other

There were other beasts who utilised their aura in this way, spreading it around like a domain to inflict its effect on the surroundings, his just happened to block all sensory from the outside world

Now that his enemies were practically blind in every sense he was free to cause chaos, standing between the clueless duo he threw a knife at each of them before retreating from their attack range

"Goaaoo!" Whiiiish!

In response to the thrown knife both of them mounted their own attack in that direction which resulted in the two parties scoring a solid hit on one another

Neither party expected the attack to cause such damage as the sphere had its bronze-like skin cracked under the heavy blunt attack of the troll who it put a few holes in with those air bullets it launched

Angered they continued to strike at each other while trying to figure out why the supposed alliance was broken by the mysterious smoke

All this was unfolding to YuJu who could clearly see everything in the smoke, a cheeky grin forming on his face watching these fools turn on each other just by a simple trick of his

WOOSH!

All of a sudden the sphere launched wind filled with its aura all around chasing the smoke away, it wasn\'t able to completely dissipate it but at least its immediate vicinity was now visible so it could finally dodge the troll\'s heavy attacks, after tasting a few hits it had to come up with this way or else it would have been quickly smashed to death

"Looks like this one is a counter to my smoke, it isn\'t strong enough to unblind the troll though so things should be okay"

The two would kill each other before long and he would reap all the profit

"Ellis looks like she\'s winning too, that big cat can\'t get passed her defending stance even with its superior strength and speed, if it tried too hard it will only get countered adding another poisonous wound before she starts defending again, victory is already decided"

Never would he have believed everything would be so smooth and easy, at least not with how injured he was

"Ugh?!"

Thought too soon he did for a stinging pain came from his left-hand breaking his thought process for just a bit

This tiny momentary lack of focus was enough for his aura to disperse, even so the troll kept attacking the weird spherical creature in its madness, the gaping wounds fillings its stomach made any reconcile quite impossible

"The hell is this?!"

Instead of worrying about the battle YuJu was inspecting his rapidly festering hand, it had finger bones previously sticking out and now the flesh of his palm turned green and jagged as poison seeped out from the spatial storage

Thankfully his capable mind instantly calmed down to try and figure the situation out, sending his senses into the spatial feather to check for any abnormality

\'???\'

Inside he found none of the treasures collected from the Zarselos nor any other items he kept, all that filled the empty space was poison, various shades of green poison

The sudden phenomenon left his mind empty of any speculation, all he could do was let the toxin out without allowing it to touch his skin, holding his palm downward as the plaguing liquid poured out like water

\'I need to finish those guys off first, this needs a clear mind to handle\'

Turning his eyes toward the combatants he thought for a second whether to use the spatial knives or not

\'Or I could…\'

Another plausible idea came to mind which he went about testing without delay

Sensing his approach they stopped fighting each other and aimed their anger at him, their attacks much slower though with how injured and exhausted they were now

Jumping to evade the hits he came close to the troll first, getting as close to it as he could to make sure the plan worked

"Gaaa!"

Shouting in agony it let go of the club to hold its poisoned wounds, never would it have thought the green thing YuJu was spraying all over would be so harmful

\'That\'s not a good sign\'

It was good that he could take his opponent down quickly but if this vitality based beast was suffering so much from just a spray wouldn\'t he soon end up the same as well?

Woosh!

Before his mind thought more about it the wind whistles behind him promoting him to turn around and spot the fleeing sphere

"No!"

Quickly giving chase he sent his smoke to envelope the fleeing creature and trap it, sadly it was much faster than him and its aura could keep his at bay

\'If it gets away it will take all the tickets with it!\'

A very alarming matter as it could easily ruin all his plans

"Haaa!"

Thankfully a purple figure came to his rescue, jabbing her swords at the creature and cutting off the escape path

"Ellis, keep attacking! Don\'t let it slip away"

He ordered while kicking poison coated knives at the sphere to further prevent it from trying to run and have it focus dogging

Under the concentrated attacks of the two poisonous humans the struggling and injured sphere quickly fell to the toxin now filling its entire body, a result that brought both of them a sigh of relief

\'Goodness, that was close\'

At last, he could somewhat relax, even though he was pouring out poison like faulty pipe he at least achieved his goal for the trip

\'Now I\'m guaranteed to get that thing, I just need to stop the infection and deal with the poison\'

Another headache matter to deal with but nothing too dangerous, probably…..hopefully
