Alex was explaining to Odin something very crazy right now… and, Elio was just watching everything from the high building as he ran away from the creatures that were still chasing them.

He was on the higher ground, jumping from one rooftop to the other, dealing damage to the creatures that came too close and avoiding the ranged attacks with his new movement skill.

-Boooooooooom!

The puppets that ended up exploding around him were a bad experience for him, but at the very least, they did not kill him.

He did well increasing his agility and endurance stats. Without them, he didn’t know if he could have survived all those explosions, attacks, and maintained his footing.

Falling down from there would result in an instant death. These dark creatures were all on the ground as well…

And all of them looked disgustingly creepy.

-Oooooooooong!

He didn’t hate how they looked but they were certainly dangerous for them.

Alex and Odin were more experienced with the terrain battles so they were jumping around the places, taking advantage of the building on both sides, destroying things and using them as blockades if needed, even doing what he mostly wouldn’t…

This was the first time they were fighting this type of creature, especially hundreds of them at once with the possibility of them exploding like a (tier-2) spell.

[{ “It’s fascinating how one being could control so many of these creatures…” }]

They weren’t taking help from Az and Miu. He had put them in the special inventory for the time being even though he didn’t like it.

[{ “Elio! We don’t have time for chitchat! Cast all the buffs you can on us! We are going to finish this!” }]

Odin explained to them why this ‘person’ or the black joker was beyond saving.

Elio also knew about the characteristics of darkness, and thanks to a certain incident that Alex once talked about, he knew how dangerous this matter could be.

He didn’t want to kill this person, and He wasn’t going to do anything either.

-Ooooooooong!

But just like every time, he was going to have a hand in the death of this person.

[{ “Tell me when you are ready!” }]

[{ “We already are! Throw them!” }]

They were being chased by a lot of puppets ever since they came out of that strange house.

It was a simple house yet there were hundreds of those things and most of them even looked as real as actual taxidermy dummies.

There were some human ones as well, and they made things difficult for him.

He was conflicted whether this person was a good person or just a criminal that deserved death. However, whatever conclusion he might reach, he were still going to end up dead.

[{ “Alright! Get on top of that platform.” }]

Elio prepared six pairs of spells on both of his hands, spells of grace series, and physical series.

He was mostly using wind and water elements throughout the battle, but this time, he used spells of all six elements from the grace series to help them with all aspects of this one final blow!

[{ “Odin!” }]

[{ “Yes!” }]

Winds gathered and became wings for them, flames sharpened the edges of their weapons, water enhanced their strength, earth beneath their feet became even more solid and with each step they took, the weight of their weapons increased as well.

Darkness rose from their shadows and made their steps lighter, while the light around them condensed and wrapped around them.

-OOOOOOOOOOONG!

They were ready.

{ “What did I do wrong?!!” }

And the target was about to lose itself in the depths of the darkness that had overwhelmed them.

However…

[{ “Now!” }]

-Zaaaaaaaa!

Alex called out her radiantly colorful Aura while Odin called out the dark energy that was less ‘black’ than the actual darkness that made up the Joker.

[{ “Three!” }]

Alex used a {Blink} and left the other creatures behind. While Odin also used his own movement skill to get ahead of the creatures behind him.

[{ “Two!” }]

When both of them were free from the puppets, they stepped on a platform which was a little higher than the current location of the Joker… and right when they stepped on this platform, the joker’s eyes widened.

{ “WHAT ARE YOU DOING…?!” }

He screamed with the loudest voice Elio had heard until now, and at the same time, a pitch black darkness exploded out of his body!

[{ “Odin! Now!” }]

The energy was going to materialize into a completely new puppet, one that would have contained much more strength then any puppet present there.

He would have controlled this new one with even better strings, paid more attention to it and used it to kill all of them that were after him, however…

-Ooooooooooooooong!

Alex had already jumped in the air along with Odin with her sword slashing downwards along with the giant hammer covered in a purer form of darkness.

The darkness of the two distinct energies somehow found harmony as they descended towards the dark creature.

{ “Noooooooo…!” }

The joker even perceived their attack, even created a barricade of red strings and smaller puppets… he even used the things around him as puppets in that last moment…

However, it was futile.

-ZAAAAAAA…!

When the Aura and Dark Aura were combined, what came out was an energy that had only one effect on the surroundings…. Destruction.

-Boooooooooooooom!

When the smash was hit, an explosion was heard all around the field!

‘Damn.’

As Elio saw, the combination of already destructive Aura with the Dark Aura of the dark knight was so powerful it literally obliterated the barricade of Puppets and red strings of the joker, and pierced right through the dark matter that was covering the actual body of the Joker.

[{ “You two alive?” }]

The explosion of energy was unexpected. The area around them was shattered, the puppets that were flooding the entire place were nowhere to be seen anymore, and there was now a dead human body left on the ground… its face smashed with a hammer, and its body cut in half.

[{ “Hopefully.” }]

[{ “I think I’m dead… ughhh!” }]

Ultimately, it seemed like all three of them, as well as Sera made it out alive.

[Ding!]

And as if the system was announcing it, a screen window popped up before all three of them as they lay on the ground, on top of debris, covered in blood and scars all around their bodies…
