"Rocky Yadav…. Death hase knocking for you–" said a powerful voice from near the entrance of the second floor, as Rocky turned to see Perseus for the first time in his life.
In terms of looks, Perseus did indeed look a lot like Sophia with the two having striking sibling resemnce.
He had the same brown hair, the same sea green eyes and bronze skin shade that looked like he was always tanned.
Upon seeing him for the first time, Rocky immediately uncovered his identity, without needing an introduction, however, what baffled Rocky was the question of why had hee here all alone? And not with his forces?
"Errr….." Rocky mumbled in confusion, as before Perseus could make a single additionalment about Rocky, it was AceKing and a bunch of other tier5 Elites, who moved past Rocky to face Perseus.
"So I assume you''re the one who ordered the kidnapping of Riva to take ce–
Good that you walked here out of your own volition.
Because there is no chance in hell that you walk out of here alive" AceKing said, with fury evident in his voice as it was at this moment that Perseus realized that he had fucked up.
In his rage to hunt down Rocky, he hadpletely forgotten about the fact that Rocky was not alone and that the brave warriors of the True Elites Guild were apanying him in the underground prison.
This mistake led to an awkward scenario for Perseus where there were at least a dozen tier5 opponents ring murderously towards him, while he stood there all alone.
"Move, mortals, make a path for me to face Rocky Yadav, or I shall cut you all down" Perseus said authoritatively trying to project his strength, however, his words did not deter the Elite warriors and instead only enraged them even more.
Closing in the gap between their ranks so that Perseus could not even see the silhouette of Rocky, they made their intentions to protect him clear, as Perseus was forced to nervously gulp down a mouthful of saliva.
"Is that…. Sophia''s brother? They look simr" Buhara asked, noticing the striking resemnce, as Rocky nodded in acknowledgement.
"Yeah, seems so–" Rocky said, as he found this unexpected development to be the most funny.
"Oh he''s definitely Sophia''s brother …. Both of them seem to share the same idiot gene" Erin added, as he chuckled softly under his breath.
"Well, I think the others have this covered, let''s keep moving forward" Rocky said, as he decided to leave AceKing and some of his men to fight Perseus, while he himself joined the rest of the Elites in making his way through the second floor.
*************
At the same time as Rocky, Buhara and Erin moved forward, AceKing and his immediate subordinates rushed towards Perseus who activated a weird domain spell to defend himself.
[ Poseidon''s Lineage ]
Calling upon the power of his Demi-god lineage, Perseus converted his killing aura into a physical stream of water which swirled around him in a defensive barrier.
His sword, which looked the color of shiny steel before, began glowing with a faint blue hue, as it seemed like he had started to channel his sword intent.
As AceKing and the Elites charged towards Perseus, they fanned out, attempting to encircle him, but the confined space of the prison corridor worked to Perseus''s advantage, only allowing four opponents to charge towards him at once, with the corridor forcing the rest to stay behind.
With a swift motion, Perseus shed his sword, sending a wave of water crashing towards the four charging Elites forcing them to brace themselves against the impact.
*Block*
The four elites blocked the iing sword sh which had taken the shape of a torrential wave using their weapons, however, the force of the impact was so strong that although the four of them worked together in trying to block it, they were still forced backwards by a few meters.
"Is that all you''ve got?" Perseus taunted, his voice dripping with arrogance, as AceKing leaped over the four front runners and charged towards Perseus alone.
Lunging forward, AceKing aimed a series of precise strikes at Perseus, but each one was parried effortlessly by the Olympian who was visibly far stronger and faster than his counterpart.
*Dodge*
*Dodge*
*Block*
*Parry*
Perseus moved with fluid grace, his sword weaving a defensive dance that kept the AceKing''s offense at bay.
Soon, the four Elites who had initially been pushed back rejoined the assault, teaming up with their squad leader to attack Perseus, however, although the number of opponents that he was facing increased, Perseus still did not seem like he was breaking a sweat as despite their numbers and synchronized attacks, the Elites found themselves unable tond a single blow.
Perseus''s mastery over his sword and spells was overwhelming. He flowed through the fight like water itself, dodging and countering with an ease that seemed almost supernatural.
"You won''t leave this prison floor alive, Perseus! You picked on the Elites and now you must pay the price for it" Aceking dered sounding angry and frustrated, however, his words seemed without any merit, as let alone killing Perseus, he found it hard to even catch his silhouette.
"You overestimate your strength, mortal." Perseus said, smirking, as he deflected yet another blow from AceKing using his wrist.
The battle between the two groups raged on for several minutes, but it became clear that Perseus was in control.
He hadn''t taken a single hit despite the Elites constantly switching positions amongst one another anding at him with relentless speed and power, as his confidence to win this fight grew with each passing moment.
The Elites, though skilled and relentless, were slowly being worn down by him alone, while he himself was not even close to reaching his limits.
"Behold weaklings…. This is the difference between children of gods and mortals" Perseus dered as he prepared for a big move, sending rm bells ringing in AceKing''s head, as he felt the concentration of the mana sharply change in the air surrounding him.
