In the Kingdom of Graham, a small country pushed almost into the kingdom's borderline. The country was called Balmur. In the Balmur existed a city called Tartiib. Unknown to most, a certain battle was taking currently its place.

In the backyard of Terans, Raiz had clothes on his red fur. Just random pants and a t-shirt from Thundersons. Even when his Red fur covered everything, he still felt weirdly naked. Fortunately for him, the days of clothes came back with Thunderson's arrival. As Amilios and Aurora were in the same situation, he had somehow convinced them to wear clothes. Their shirt had to be modified according to their wings, they could have folded their wings under the shirt but that would make wearing the shirt uncomfortable. Making two holes in the back wasn't difficult as they just ripped holes.

Standing before Raiz was the confident Fourth, ready to strike Raiz the moment he found a weakness. No matter where Fourth looked, he couldn't find where his attack could reach. Unknowingly to Fourth, Raiz was in his thought thinking about changing the design. It would be cool to fly around with some stylish clothes. While he was randomly going through his thoughts, Fourth couldn't wait anymore as he started to move.

He took his sword that was attached to his hilt and threw his scabbard to the side as he drew his sword. The sword's tip was pointed towards his opponent. Fourth put strength on his toes, thrusting his body and the sword towards the Raiz. The speed of Fourths was fast. Raiz remembered how Fourth flew, the question was how was he able to. He couldn't fly with mana or wings. His mana was certainly not enough to keep him in the air and you would need elemental such as wind to begin with.

Raiz slowly rose in the air, still wondering how would Fourth follow him. Seeing Raiz run into the air, gave Fourth the much-needed confidence. He jumped into the air while still pointing his sword at him. Raiz didn't panic and slightly changed his direction, making the incoming attack miss him by a hair. After Raiz dodged. Fourth slashed into Raiz's vulnerable back, he was sure Raiz didn't have enough time to dodge his attack.

That was indeed true, Raiz wouldn't be able to turn around, at least not fast enough to dodge. Raiz didn't think further and put gravity on himself. Hitting his feet deep into the ground, avoiding the incoming slash. Fourth looked oddly at Raiz not knowing what happened. He was just a few inches away from slashing his neck. Even if he descended with his wings, there wasn't enough time to avoid his attack.

Fourth looked towards the head of Terans, whose head turned side to side. Fourth was asking if there was some external help and the answer was no. This puzzled Fourth even more but didn't dim his fighting spirit.

" It seems you have some tricks, I wonder how long they can last?" Fourth smirked.

One of the guard's scabbards started shaking and before the guard could react, it flew into Raiz's hands. Raiz knew absolutely nothing about swords, but he was currently at a disadvantage. The opponent could hurt his body and he had no way to parry the attack. He could dodge easily like he had done so far but he wasn't satisfied with it. Since the opponent had a sword, he could use a sword too.

Raiz clumsily took a stance, with one look everyone could see he was a bona fide amateur. Fourth saw the unremarkable stance of Raiz, furiously gripping his sword's hand and swinging his sword horizontally. This time Raiz didn't dodge but instead blocked with the sword he had. The attack was stronger than Raiz thought initially, he had to take steps back to minimize the impact.

After stabilizing himself, another attack was slashed towards him. The attacks were constantly hitting Raiz, barely giving him any time to react. Blocking was all he could do at the beginning but as time went by, he was starting to retaliate. First, it started by blocking the attack without taking steps back. He tried to attack back, which was an absolute failure. Fourth easily dodged and even did a counterattack.

Barely dodging the attack again, Raiz said" I guess I can't win with my sluggish sword movement. It would take another day at least to take you out with a sword" Fourth knew that wasn't a bluff as the speed at which Raiz was picking the sword was getting higher. Raiz was observing his movement of his, which made him uncomfortable. Given him a week or so, he truly had a chance to defeat him.

Raiz took the scabbard from the ground and put the sword back in. He threw the sword to the guard he took from. Guard didn't anticipate, he would be getting his precious back at all and happily hugged his sword.

" Now then shall we get serious"

" What you are getting high and mighty for. Did you already forget, how useless you are against me? Let me tell you something even better. I can move faster and strike even stronger hahaha" This whole time Fourth was holding back. Fourth dug his foot into the ground and released his body like an arrow. The attack was outrageously faster than before but Raiz wasn't surprised, after all, he had seen his powers when he was fighting with Moon.

Fourth who could already imagine his glory after cleaving Raiz in two, started to slow down without his intentions. Fourth didn't know what was wrong but his body was starting to feel heavy. He was sure he wasn't imagining, as the ground around him dug with him. The more he tried to resist, the heavier his body was getting. He looked at Raiz.

" What have you done to me? Why I can't move " As he was asking the question, he realised even his mouth was hard to move. Even talking became a hard task at this point.

" Am impressed you can even talk in this state. Even monsters bigger than you had a rough time squeezing a sound. Truly impressive" Raiz started clapping which annoyed Fourth even more but what he could do when even his sword started to feel too heavy and dropped to the ground.

" Since you can't move anymore, I take it, it's my win. " Raiz leisurely walked back to the others. Fourth could finally move but he knew he had already lost. In that state where he was powerless, he could have been easily killed. What Fourth didn't know was, Raiz couldn't move either and the more he continued, the more he would lose his mana. The situation would have become a disadvantage to him unless he decided to kill fourth by simply focusing all his gravity on his brain.

Raiz had no intention to kill him, he wasn't a crazy guy who wanted to kill all his opponents. He calmly analyzed the situation and won without needing to do more than needed. Fourth looked down as he staggered towards the head family" I am sorry, I lost " The head family didn't even glance at the defeated employee of his and took something from his pocket.

" You have come to my house, demanding to take My daughter's life. What gave you the right to do in front of me? After today, you will regret your actions and that is if you are still breathing" Cold killing intent spread into the air. Teran family head held a silver stone in his hand and pointed at Moon and others. The moment it was pointed at them, nobody was able to talk let alone move. The world started to move slowly until they felt had stopped completely.

Moon was utterly shocked as this was his first time being utterly hopeless. No matter how he tried, he couldn't move an inch. He tried to use his mana but he couldn't touch it. His mana was sealed and this idea was terrifying for the cloud who relied on it.

" Ahaha, don't try anything. No matter what you do, it is impossible to escape from this artefact." Even the city commander was shocked by this revelation, their country was small that there was just one artifact in the capital. How did they get their hands on one?

" Unfortunately it is just a copy with a limited use but using it at this moment is perfect" The commander could finally understand, but even a copy was highly wanted and was scarce as it was hard to copy an artifact.

A blue light came from Claustar, making the frozen ones move. They could finally move but their mana was still sealed, leaving only their physical bodies. The situation was still as dangerous as ever.

" I hold them back as much as I can. Raiz take everyone back home." Amilios came forward as he commanded Raiz. Raiz was the only one who could fly. Moons mana was sealed, opting him from moving at all.

Amilios grabbed the white tiger on his shoulder and threw him toward Raiz. Now he was ready to defend himself with just his body. He would be able to hinder them for just a few seconds but that was more than enough for Raiz to carry everyone back.

" Amilios, you go. I stay behind, nobody can touch me anyway" It was close to impossible for Raiz to carry Moon since he would just go through. It was better for everyone else to flee while Moon stayed behind.
