Chapter 124: Fenix Takes on Two Peak Conquerors at Once (2)
Falmon responded by creating a vortex of wind around himself, and the spinning barrier deflected Fenix’s strikes with each one clashing against the force of a storm.

The wind was unpredictable, and Fenix had to adjust his movements constantly as he moved his body like a dancer in the midst of the storm. He landed a few blows, but they weren’t enough to pierce the whirlwind.

Meanwhile, Terragor was closing in, his earth-based attacks relentless. He raised his hands to the sky, summoning a huge boulder from the ground, and threw it at Fenix. The boulder was huge, far larger than any regular stone, and it flew with incredible force.

Fenix’s focus was split between the wind and earth awakeners, and he had to make a quick decision since he couldn’t afford being distracted at this moment.

After thinking about it for a split second, Fenix used his [Ember Veins] skill as he sent a surge through his body that amplified his strength and speed.

With a roar, he jumped and narrowly avoided the boulder by inches. As he soared through the air, he twisted his body and struck down with both blades, creating a shockwave of fire and force that blasted towards Falmon.

Falmon was caught off guard for a moment, resulting in the fiery wave crashing into him. Unfortunately for him, the wind barrier he had created was not enough to stop the force of Fenix’s attack.

The blast sent the wind awakener flying backwards, his body sliding across the ground in a cloud of dust.

Fenix landed lightly on the ground, the flames crackling around him as he turned his focus to Terragor, who was now charging towards him with a ground-shaking charge.

The earth awakener slammed his fist into the ground, creating a massive fissure that shot towards Fenix, sending a tidal wave of rock and debris at him.

Fenix’s eyes narrowed, before immediately making a move as he used his [Burning Slash] skill to slice through the advancing wave of earth, creating a path of fire and destruction through the debris. The crescent-moon shaped fire energy slashed through the rocks like butter, and sent sparks flying as the two forces clashed.

The battle raged on for what felt like an eternity as each side pressed against each other while trying to outsmart their enemy.

However, despite their combined effort, Fenix still held his ground with quite a little bit of his effort.

At that moment, the dust began to settle. Falmon and Terragor were exhausted, both stopped as they surveyed the scene. Fenix, although his body bore minor cuts and bruises, he was still standing firmly.

The battlefield was scarred as the earth shattered. The air was heavy with the aftermath of their battle.

For a moment, all of them looked at each other as they realized that the outcome of the battle was far from decided at this point.

“That was a decent warm up.” Fenix smiled as he really enjoyed the entire fight.

Looking at the provocation, Falmon bared his teeth as he summoned the winds around again. Despite his injuries, Terragor slammed his fists into the ground, drawing upon the earth’s energy.

Falmon charged first once more, this time his speed amplified by his [Tempest surge] skill, creating a blur motion as he circled Fenix.

While he was at it, he unleashed his [Gale Strike] skill, and dozens of slicing gusts aimed at Fenix from every angle.

Fenix spun his blades, their fiery edges cutting through the air as each strike deflected the incoming gusts, sending sparks and flames in all directions.

His movements were precise as his Flareblade Technique turned Falmon’s relentless attacks into an intricate dance of counterattacks.

Terragor roared from the side as he raised both hands, and activated his [Earthen Maw] skill. The ground beneath Fenix erupted, spiky stones bursting towards him.

Fenix reacted instantly by leaping into the air with a burst of energy from [Ember Veins]. In mid-air, he twisted his body and unleashed a crescent-moon shaped fire energy downward as he used his [Burning Slash] skill.

Boom!

The flames collided with the spiky stones, shattering them into molten fragments that rained across the battlefield.

But the attack left him exposed for a moment, and Falmon seized the opportunity. Appearing behind Fenix in a gust of wind, and immediately slashed at his back with the blade that was enveloped by wind energy.

As the attack landed, Fenix grunted in pain with his bloodied back. He then spun mid-air, slashing with both blades in a fiery cross.

The attack forced Falmon back, but he smirked instead as he finally landed a decent attack on Fenix.

Falmon let out a ragged chuckle, his breath coming in harsh gasps.

“Is my blade tasty?” Falmon said with a mocking tone as the wind around him rippled with renewed intensity, ready for another strike.

Fenix landed on the ground with a grimace, blood trickling down his back where Falmon’s wind blade had sliced through his flame armor.

Gritting his teeth against the pain, he steadied himself. Even if Falmon’s attack had connected, it wasn’t enough to stop him since he had been through far worse.

Off to the side, Terragor drew upon the earth once more, veins of power pulsating through the ground. His hulking figure stood like a fortress, each step sending tremors coursing through the shattered battlefield.

Falmon disappeared in a blur of wind again, circling around Fenix’s blind spots. But by now, Fenix had grown accustomed to the wind awakener’s hit-and-run tactics. Instead of waiting passively, he took the initiative.

In a flash of movement, Fenix dashed to his right, forcing Falmon to adjust. As expected, Falmon instantly shifted to intercept.

However, this time Fenix feinted as he abruptly dropped low and slid across the ground. Sparks flared beneath his boots as he propelled himself forward with [Ember Veins], twisting at the last moment to slash upward at Falmon’s torso.

Falmon barely managed to twist his body away, the fiery blade carving a burning line across his chest.

He stumbled back, the wind barrier around him flickering as he hissed in pain. Yet before Fenix could press the advantage, the ground rumbled beneath his feet.

Terragor’s massive hand burst from underneath him as an earth-forged gauntlet formed by his [Earthen Maw] skill.

In response, Fenix leaped out of the grasping rocks, pivoting mid-air to slice through the stony fist with both swords. Flames scorched the rocky mass, splintering it into crumbling debris.

Terragor roared as he emerged from the dust, throwing chunks of earth with frightening velocity. Fenix weaved through the hail of boulders, deflecting some with his blades, allowing others to shatter on impact with the ground behind him. Every collision shook the battlefield, but Fenix’s focus remained razor-sharp.

From the corner of his vision, he sensed a swirling gust, meaning that Falmon’s wind attacks had converged again, slicing toward him from multiple angles.

Clicking his tongue in annoyance, Fenix crossed his blades in a defensive stance. Flames coursed along the steel edges, forming a glowing barrier of flames that met Falmon’s wind blades head-on. Sparks and embers scattered like miniature fireworks where the opposing elements collided.

“Terragor, now!” Falmon shouted.

Seizing the opening, Terragor slammed his fists into the earth. The ground groaned in reaction as massive chunks of rock sprung up, intending to trap Fenix.

The makeshift stone walls towered over him, forging a cornered battleground. Immediately, Falmon bombarded him with slicing gusts from above, preventing an easy escape.

“Stay put,” Terragor rumbled, stepping closer. He pounded his fists together, each knuckle cracking like the shifting of tectonic plates. “I’ll bury you beneath the earth for good.”

Fenix’s lips curled into a grin. He had seen a trick like this before; they were combining their powers to restrict his movements, hoping to trap him in a deadly cage.

Planting one sword into the ground, Fenix summoned more of his blazing aura. Flames wreathed his body, intensifying until the stony prison walls grew unbearably hot.

Clenching his free hand into a fist, he unleashed a condensed fiery projectile. It erupted against one section of the wall, blasting rocks into molten shards and clearing a path.

Before Falmon or Terragor could react, Fenix sprinted through the opening. Fire trailed behind him like a comet’s tail. He set his sights on Falmon first as his speed threatened Fenix the most, especially when combined with Terragor’s raw power.

Falmon realized the danger too late. Still midair, still focusing on conjuring more slicing gales, he found himself face-to-face with a grinning Fenix. Flames danced along Fenix’s swords, reflecting ominously in the wind awakener’s eyes.

Falmon panicked and reacted as a swirl of wind formed around him. He lashed out, launching a frantic wave of gusts. But Fenix roared as he slashed through the wind, each blade leaving behind a trail of blazing energy.

Within the blink of an eye, Fenix slammed one sword into Falmon’s swirling barrier.

Unfortunately for Falmon, the barrier cracked like a glass dome under immense pressure as the wind parted. Fenix followed with a cross slash of his second blade, each strike enhanced by his [Flareblade Technique] skill, resulting in Falmon’s defenses shattered completely.

A desperate gust flared from Falmon as he tried to evade, but Fenix was ready. He drove his right-hand sword straight through Falmon’s chest, flames erupting along the blade.

Falmon’s eyes went wide, a strangled gasp escaping him. The howling wind around him sputtered, dying instantly like a candle flame snuffed out by the night air.

Time seemed to slow as Falmon’s body sagged against Fenix’s sword. Blood dripped from his lips as he stared at Fenix with a mixture of shock and disbelief.

Afterwards, in a final gust, Falmon’s lifeless body slid off the blade and fell to the burnt soil below.
