Chapter 84 Christensen's Graduation
Christensen\'s combination attack with Leo was nothing short of sick.
Having witnessed his master fusing with Predator to devastating effect, he lamented his inability to learn the Intermediate knowledge yet and was why he worked hard with Leo to create a mini version of it.
Once again, the sound was like exploding dominoes.
Bam! Bam! Bam!
Leo\'s claws alongside Christensen\'s dagger attacks reduced the Pugilist to a puddle of blood. Previously, he did it against an invisible enemy, now, Christensen finally graduated and did it against a real enemy.
He was excited as his blood boiled hotter. "Who\'s next?!" He yelled.
On seeing one of them being comboed to death so easily, the other 5 Grade E psychopaths were shocked. Before they could fully recover though, Akela and Warg made a combination attack of wind and dark energy.
The Elementalist could not stand it, he was pulverized completely.
In less than a minute since the battle started, 2 of them were already dead. All the others were shaken into alertness as they finally formed a battle formation.
The Elementalist and the Summoner retreated to the back of the formation as the Summoner sent his White Tiger contracted beast to lead the formation.
Hiding just behind the massive White Tiger was a petite female with a spear, a Pugilist with such slim and tender muscles that Christensen could feel her agility through. A thick killing intent surrounded her that it almost solidified.
Without a doubt, this was the Pugilist Assassin who mastered the serum ability most among the 3 and she was the most dangerous enemy.
Behind her was the last traditional Pugilist who had no weapon, his fists were his weapons.
The battle formation that they formed enabled them to isolate the 2 terrible Wind and Dark Wolves and their wolf pack to the back.
"Now!" The petite female Pugilist yelled as the White Tiger pounced towards the Frost Wolf and its master.
As the White Tiger pounced, the only surviving Elementalist in the team also took action as she spammed AOE attack skills at the wolves.
Feeling challenged, Leo responded and also pounced towards the massive Tiger. Christensen was supposed to control his beast but he didn\'t care at this moment, he was too excited to care as he let Leo do what it wanted.
The Frost Wolf and the White Tiger soon started a frenzied brawl.
With this, Leo was exposed. He barely even got to register his current situation before the petite female Pugilist disappeared, she moved like a ghost, like a shadow that was not restricted by the natural laws of physics.
Christensen felt his danger senses tingling the next moment.
Shing!
He barely managed to duck while unsheathing his sword before the Pugilist arrived. Her spear moved with such speed like it was a vampire bat that smelled blood, Christensen could do very little against it.
Clang!
His sword managed to make contact with the spear, barely changing its trajectory but he was still injured as his left ear was cleanly cut off by the spear.
"Ugh…" Christensen growled in pain as he was finally grounded in reality.
The pain stimulated him, bringing his brain back to the reality that this was a real battle where he could die if he was complacent.
\'Damn, what was I thinking?\'
\'Master warned me about this!\'
Bam! Bam!
The petite female did not stop there as her legs moved with speed like phantoms. With Christensen on guard, she could no longer dice him to pieces with her spear and instead opted to beat him with her legs.
She kicked him twice on the chest, breaking a few of his ribs as Christensen coughed blood but he endured it all and finally gave a mental command.
Leo was forced to retreat from his current battle against the White Tiger as through the Basic Beast Energy Augmentation knowledge, Christensen finally augmented his Frost Wolf\'s strength.
\'Freeze her!\' He commanded in his mind.
As soon as Leo released his frost powers, the petite Pugilist jumped, barely dodging it and avoiding being frozen into an ice statue as she escaped.
With her escape, Christensen reunited with Leo as his eyes shone red.
He rapidly surveyed the battlefield then he arrived at a plan.
"Akela, target the Summoner".
"Warg, use your dark powers to restrict the 2 Pugilists\' speed".
"The wolves can take the Elementalist alone".
The wolves knew that Christensen was their master\'s student, they obeyed his orders as they soon also formed their own battle formation.
Akela was a Grade D Wind Wolf, none of the enemies could stand up to him in a one on one battle, the traditional Pugilist desperately tried to stop him from getting access to the Summoner whom he protected.
With Warg restricting the fast female Pugilist, Leo was free to also restrict the enemies by releasing frost to restrict their movements while Christensen who was on top it was now also free with his bow and arrow.
As the male traditional Pugilist desperately tried to stop Akela, Christensen aimed at his back.
"Haman, dodge!" The petite Pugilist screamed but it was too late.
Whoosh!
The arrow dug unhindered into the Pugilist\'s skull.
Then with a complimentary smack with his powerful paws, Akela sent the Pugilist to the afterlife, leaving the Summoner unprotected.
Feeling threatened, the summoner called his White Tiger back but this fellow stood no chance before Akela. Akela killed the summoner in no time, turning the battle around in the blink of an eye.
Everything happened so fast, the petite Pugilist was left in a daze.
Distracted by 2 of her comrades dying in quick succession, the last Elementalist was unable to react as Warg appeared from the shadows behind him, assassinating him in a gruesome manner befitting the status of a Dark Wolf.
All of them died, only the petite Pugilist was still alive.
Her eyes turned red in rage as she glared at Christensen. "You…!"
She grabbed her spear tighter and rushed towards him like the wind, like Christensen suspected, her speed made it seem like she moved through shadows.
This time though, he was prepared.
"Leo, Ice Domain!"
"Spear Icicles!"
Without hesitation, Leo executed all the orders.
The ice domain made a region of 5 meters around the Frost Wolf feel like a quagmire as thick frost filled the air. In this thickness, the petite Pugilist appeared from the shadows as her speed was slowed down
She appeared on time for the spear icicles that were formed by Leo to be launched towards her. She moved fast, dodging 3 of them but the last one hit.
As she looked down at the icicle that pierced her abdomen, she heard the wind blow. Before she could raise her spear, Christensen already descended.
He sliced her neck off with one smooth motion of his sword.
"Y-you…" She stammered and gurgled, then her head rolled off.
Christensen turned his head as blood flowed. "That is for my ear".
Then he looked up at his master fighting as he ignored the pain from his ear. "Master, I graduated".

Bam! Bam! Bam!
In the Berserk Nightmare Beast state, Legolas\'s power increased even more as he jumped into the sky like a rocket, catching up to the old geezer as he beat the heck out of him before smacking him to the ground with a powerful claw attack.
"Ugh…" The Red Master coughed blood as soon as he landed.
He groaned in pain as he could feel all his muscles and bone in pains.
He struggled to stand up then he looked all around him, all his subordinates were dead, he was the only one left alive.
Thud!
Legolas finally landed as he walked towards him.
Looking at this Summoner, he gritted his teeth. "You…!!!"
"The next time, I will butcher you, mutilate you, kill you…"
"Who told you there\'s a next time?" Legolas smiled eerily.
"We\'ll see". The next moment, he roused all his Elementalist energy as fire sprouted from under his legs again. He rapidly rose into the sky and escaped.
Legolas was not having it this time though.
The next moment, he willed it as he finally separated from Predator then he started sprinting towards Akela who was eagerly awaiting his arrival.
