"Now with the help of this stone, I am unstoppable." said Issac.
Issac launches series of sword cuts on Kael and Noel simultaneously with extreme and power behind.
Kael easily dodges all the attacks but Noel had so much trouble defend or avoid the attack.
She got hurt with each slash inflicted on her.
Issac even countered ice shards which was unleashed by Willy.
Issac's ice blade was disarmed by Kael with effective method.
However, Issac didn't stop there. He lunges forward as he kicked out Kael with tremendous strength.
Issac performances increased dramatically as he closed distance, leaving no space for Noel to defend or recover her posture.
Noel had an advantage since Issac didn't had his ice blade anymore.
However Noel couldn't land a single slash on Issac. Issac evaded every attack as he struck Noel with multiple kicks including following combo, roundhouse kick, tornado kick, and devastating front kick.
Willy used more magical energy to summon another tsunami in a hurry but Issac was already behind him in the blink of an eye.
Before Willy could turn behind, he was kicked hard from behind by Issac.
Willy couldn't believe the damage he just recieved.
It was due to the enhanced power boosting Issac.
Furthermore, Issac was already powerful as an SSS- Ranked which made it even more harder for others to counter him.
Kael had silently pierced Issac from behind using his stealth techniques. He pierced the blade right on his back.
Issac smirks as he turned around and taking back his ice blade.
Issac was hurt but it wasn't enough to stop him.
"Kael, was it? It seems you are interfering a lot between some personal matter between Willy and myself." said Issac with a gentle smile.
Kael slammed with Hammer Fist but Issac grabbed the hand with precision. Issac then said.
"Don't interrupt the personal matter, outsider." said Issac with a cold glare contrasting his gentle smile earlier.
Issac struck Kael with his own head, then striking heavy right hook on Kael's temple part.
The strike was deadly enough to knock out anyone. However Issac noticed that Kael wasn't actually struck by the hook because he stopped it with his left hand.
With enough recoil effects from the hook, Kael delivered a massive amount of damage with brazilian kick.
The kick looked like front kick at first glance but as Issac wanted to defend, the trajectory of the kick suddenly changed.
It became roundhouse kick immediately. (Known as Brazilian Kick as a real move)
Issac was thrown back so far with this heavy strike.
The strike was meant to be efficient and delivered with knock out intent.
Issac still get back up on his foot.
"Interesting..." said Issac, looking at Kael.
Noel came closer the moment Issac looked weakened.
Noel slashed Issac multiple times.
However since Issac had his ice blade, he quickly clashed his own ice blade to block all attacks.
Issac immediately followed with a counter double slash on Noel.
But Issac was caught up in Tsunami launched by Willy.
Issac was hurt even more.
Issac was near Kael. He tried to target Kael again.
Kael was struck by heavy normal sword cuts by Issac.
But Kael hadn't gotten hurt because he had redirected all the trajectory of the ice blade which Issac used. Kael had efficient hand movement techniques at disposal to do this.
"Huh?" Issac was lost in thought on how his posture got worsen so suddenly.
He realised that Kael had immediate used aikido moves to disrupt Issac's balance. Kael had used kuzushi.
(Kuzushi techniques is used to disrupt balance of an opponent)
Kael stepped back and didn't attack Issac.
Issac was confused by it but realised that Kael was just buying some time yet again.
Issac, realising this, looked at Willy.
Willy wasn't that ready as he already so much magical energy. Which means there was one person.
Noel quickly leapt forward with her refined moves. She elegantly slashed Issac with her shadow cut. An unnoticed precise cut with heavy silence but with great power.
Issac was slashed with multiple seventeen times because of shadow cut. The speed was extremely higher and since Issac was off balance, he didn't had time to use Ice barrier.
Issac was also defenceless in that position. As a result Issac is way more injured than other guild members present in the hall, witnessing the battle unfold.
"Huff....Is this the end?" asked Noel, heavily breathing.
Issac was on his knees, unable to stand properly anymore.
"This can't be....! I should have been stronger with this fcking stone!? Why!? I thought it grants me power to evenly match even the god themselves!" exclaimed Issac with extreme disgusted face.
Issac desperately used cold breathe with all magical focused on the attack to end it quickly.
However, Willy had recovered a little bit. He summoned normal ice shards at Issac.
Issac recieved more damage, unable to perform more.
"You failed....leader of The Saints....Issac." said Masked Man with black hoody, entering the hall all alone.
Everyone's eyes were on the masked man. And something eerie felt about him.
Everyone instinctively had one opinion of him: He is the most dangerous on here.
The masked man casually walked besides Kael.
Kael could tell who this masked man is but didn't interrupt or do anything because he wanted to avoid a confrontation with the wrong person at the wrong time.
Masked Man glanced at Issac.
Issac recognised the masked man.
"You! You came back? I have done everything you told me. You told me this Runic Stone, if we find and use, can grant me power to do what I wish!" exclaimed Issac with his composure lost.
"You failed....You failed to brought out the full potential of the Runic Stone." said Masked Man.
"What do you mean?" asked Issac.
"Let me tell you something, the fact you got sudden power boost from Runic Stone means you are a failure. You don't completely understand the mechanism of it. If you got extreme level of power boost, it merely means...." said Masked Man, pausing for a while.
"Merely means?" wondered Issac.
"If you recieved immense power boost from it, it means you never used th Runic Stone in the correct method. The fact you brought out it's power is not your success but failed attempt. I am taking back the Runic Stone, you don't deserve it." said Masked Man.
Issac and everyone present there got confused but they knew that the masked man is suspicious of everything.
