System: Inherited - Chapter 186

Zephyr had a smirk as he looked at the group that had surrounded them, and he was thinking of the best method to utilize his strengths. He knew that his flame was strongest at night, and this was the worst time for him to use the flame.

Maxine had her weapon out and it was a whip sword. It was a flexible weapon, and once Mana was injected into the weapon, it would become sturdy like a sword.

Vanessa had three daggers going around her at high speeds, and it formed a silver ring around her. It was her shield and weapon, and the way she was controlling was Telekinesis.

Maxine was a healer, but her Mana had twin purposes. She could heal someone, and she could suck their life vitality out of them slowly. This was one of the reasons why she was a powerful person in the group.

Jasper was at the back, and he was assessing the situation, and since they were in the trees, he could use the shadows to his advantage. The four of them had their weapons ready, and Maxine was the first to express her doubt.

“Will we be able to deal with them?”, she asked skeptically. Zephyr had a smile on his face as he looked at all of his opponents and scanned their strengths.

“I am sure we can, and we have taken many more people down than this bunch of ragtags”, he said in a scoff, which enraged the people that were around him. Everyone began to huff in anger, but they were waiting for someone to give the command for them to attack.

The leader, who was in front of Zephyr looked him in the eye and extended his finger towards him. The smile on his face faded, and Zephyr had a serious face right after he saw the finger. ]\

The moment the finger was extended, everyone began to make their move. They all charged in ready to kill the four of them and gain their points which they were so desperate for.

Jasper began to use Darkness Hop, which was to move from one place to another with the help of shadows. This was helping gain an advantage over the others as he was appearing and disappearing randomly, and as he was covered completely which cast his shadow, he used it as the base to begin his jump.

Vanessa didn’t move from her place, and she picked out four more knives. The three that were spinning around her were not for attacks but only for defense. The other four knives were now weaving through the enemies, cutting them down slowly.

“I thank you for the shadow”, came a voice from behind her and went away. She knew who it was and the reason, as Jasper had a limit to how much he can use it in the sunlight.

He went on massacring, and he was unable to use the blood control as he could during the night, as it also needed his full strength to use it. Maxine was just standing there looking at everyone going on a killing spree, and a smile had formed on her face.

“A buff would be nice”, said Zephyr as he ran past her to kill another opponent. The smile widened and she used her dagger to cut a small wound on a person that was coming towards them. She began to chant a spell, and everyone was covered in a green hue.

The man who was the leader saw this and his instincts were telling him to kill Maxine first. But the moment he made his move, he felt a chill from his back and ducked. A blade went past his hair, slicing it in the split second.

“You’re fast. Fight me”, said Jasper as he looked at him. The man did a partial transformation, and he turned his hands into that of an ape.

“The Martial Ape. I wonder if you have the qualifications to be one though”, he said as he looked at him. The man was furious as he launched himself towards Jasper, and he did a punch straight to his face.

Jasper avoided it quite easily as he moved to the side and gave him a punch of his own, and he felt his hand go numb from the punch. He was astonished at first, but he saw that in that split second, he had transformed the part of his face that was going to receive that attack and defended against his punch.

He had a wide smile as he began to go wild, and the both of them were throwing punches around. Zephyr saw it and was about to condemn him, but the smile on his face made him stop.

“Seems like he is enjoying this. It has been a long time since I have seen that smile on his face”, he thought as he slashed another one of his opponents down. Maxine had given her buff, and it was agility.

Although the three of them were fast, an increase in agility helped them even up the speed to catch up with every opponent, making them stay back and attack cautiously now. Many bodies were lying around, and every one of them had a green hue around them.

Maxine’s eyes had trend green, and she was now buffing everyone with all kinds of stats that she could think of. Most of them were directed towards Jasper, as he was the weakest at the moment due to the sun being out.

He was punching and analyzing his opponent, and the fight had just begun. There were blasts in the air as his strength was increasing rapidly, and the leader saw that Maxine was giving him boosts which were making him unable to cope up with Jasper.

He commanded his people to attack them and to kill the ‘witch’, which was none other than Maxine. The moment she heard the word, something inside here snapped, and Jasper quickly moved to the side.

“You should not have done that”, he said as he moved away from him. She was now in front of him, and her hair was fluttering in the wind as she moved towards him menacingly.

The man felt chills as he looked at her, and the moment he made his move, he saw her disappear from the place. She reappeared behind him, and he turned around to hit her once again.

This time his punch went through, but what he saw was something that confused him more. His attack went through her, but there was no blood or anything. Maxine faded from his hands in smoke, and he began to look around him.

“Seems like the buffs I have used myself is working. This is the first time I used the skill successfully”, she thought as she was on top of a tree. She was looking below, and everyone was looking for her.

“Don’t attack them. Finding the woman is the priority”, he said as he looked around. Jasper chuckled as he sat alongside Zephyr and Vanessa, and the three of them had a smile on their faces.

“What’s so funny?”, asked the leader, trying to look tough in front of his crew. The smile on their faces never faded, and Zephyr just taunted him more.

“Well, It’s just funny that you, a great leader are afraid of a mere woman”, he said in a nonchalant voice, irritating the leader more. His face twitched, but he knew better to engage in a fight with them and risk exposing his back to Maxine.

Vanessa saw through his technique ad smiled, and it had worked. The people were now beginning to have second thoughts about searching for her, and right when they thought they could attack Zephyr, a figure zipped past a few people.

The people that the figure zipped past were now on the ground, and there was a green hue around them. They were not dead, but they were slowly dying as their life force was being sucked out of them.

Slowly, people began to fall one by one. The leader was stunned as he saw the people that were falling to the ground, and he looked at the woman who was now holding two daggers in her hands, and the blade was pulsing green.

“Why is it pulsing though?”, he thought as he looked at the blades. The smile that was on her face was striking a chilling fear inside him, and he geared himself to face against her.

“This is my battle. Anyone who comes in between shall be dead”, she hissed as she stepped forward. Zephyr and the others took a step back, and there were a lot of people still standing around the leader.

“Is this woman crazy? She is going to face all of us alone?”, he thought. She was still holding onto the daggers, and the amount of pulsing was increasing rapidly.

The people that were on the ground now began to writhe in pain, while some others were vomiting blood on the ground.. One of them even ran up to her and grabbed her leg, begging for mercy.
