Am, detached himself from the giant Neurons, walked forward and instantaneously appeared before Kinis who had long prepared himself for an attack.

Kinis performed a ‘Tactical Jump’, and dodged the attack, after which another smaller War Trap activated exploding where Am had appeared.

But this time Am was unfazed, the attack was a weaker attack and his nature-infused hair armor protected him.

Or so it appeared, terrifyingly Am melted into the ground and disappeared.

A confounded Kinis activated his ‘Armory Seal’ and four large Pure Resonance Tower Shields appeared on his four sides.

In that instance, four Am’s appeared out of the ground and smashed right through the shields with the peculiar staff.

The frequency of the shields weakened the integrity of the staff, but the staffs were self-regenerating its structural integrity.

Even so, that momentary defense was all Kinis needed, he activated another one of his Seals, and suddenly a new Phenom Art struck all four Am’s.

This move was one of his creations, Phenom Art Ring Void Frequency.

Using the Phenom Art Battle Symbols for ‘lock on’ and ‘seal containment’, he had sealed exaggerated amounts of destructive frequency within the symbols.

Once activated anyone in his immediate surroundings would be annihilated, as were the four Ams.

Unfortunately despite his success, massive electrical bolts struck down on his location.

Kinis barely managed to dodge, but the bolts only kept on coming.

Wherever the bolts struck fire emerged, as the oily fat in the ground caught fire.

The barrage of lightning strikes was coming from the Neurons up above, and they were targeting him. It was as if they had sentience.

Wherever he went, the attacks came.

Eventually, he got ready to destroy the Neurons in the sky, but from the ground, the fat turned extremely hard and trapped him in place, and from it emerged a new Am hair armor and all, and smashed him and his resonance armor straight through a tree.

Kinis was seriously injured, but he managed to stand back up, disposing of his ruined armor.

In doing so he revealed all the Phenom Art markings he had throughout his body, reminiscent of Archmage Shotons Magic Casting tattoos.

Kinis activated one of his Markings and his injuries slowly started to heal.

It was a healing Phenom Art, although its efficiency was middling, for someone who lacked healing items like Kinis it was a lifesaver.

Suddenly Ams could be heard through the battlefield above.

“A fascinating Spirit Art indeed, the only reason I have come to end your life is that it is a request from the Seeier himself, or else I being a triple-A ranked Expert would have never wasted my time with an A rank Expert, but you have proven yourself to be a worthy opponent. Before I kill you, know that you have my utmost respect.”

A sonic boom flew straight at Kinis, it was Am’s Body coming with unyielding killing intent.

Kinis activated his Armory and multiple Phenom Art Golem Spheres appeared in the sky and shot oscillating beams at Am.

Although the beams were fast, Am dodged them all and completely smashed one golem after another, but before he could finish smashing the last one, he was forced on the defensive by multiple energy waves.

Kinis had abandoned his damaged blades in favor of a Pure Resonance War Glaive and was now performing a continual dance that shot out wave after wave of frequency-specific energy blasts.

Am’s body clone had no choice but to retreat sparing the last of the Resonance Golem.

Kinis’s attack was unrelenting, he was determined not to give up the momentum he had gained.

Am had tried to strike him down with Neuron bolts but because Kinis had released so many attacks and was spinning at such a high velocity the frequency force field he created around himself made him almost untouchable.

Am’s consciousness resided above the giant Neuron shroud.

At the moment he was at peak sensory and intellectual capacity to formulate multiple plans of victory, sense the situation on the battlefield, and execute.

It was obvious his opponent was limited on his defenses when not attacking, but Kinis’s offenses were so overwhelming it was hard to get close to him to prevent him from doing so.

He was also fast and slippery, so his energy focused ranged attacks would only be a waste of his stamina.

He had deduced a combination of area-of-effect attacks, and destructive close-quarters combat was the most optimal choice, but there was a variable on what were the limitations of Kinis’s abilities.

Up until that point Kinis had shown a variety of very powerful techniques that had strained quite a bit of his energy and resources.

He took on the Hyper Neuron form to have the most offensive capability, while he absorbed as much Natural Energy as he could throughout the battle.

If it came down to stamina he already had the battle.

But Am was an experienced Expert who knew the battle wasn’t over until it was over.

He was aware his opponent's techniques were based on spiritual principles; his Sage senses informed him of that.

But he also sensed a very profound sound-based technique in all his attacks.

A technique so profound and powerful, he found himself unable to stop it as it decimated even his toughest organic creations.

Multiple times it had decimated his clones' bodies, which were protected by Natural Energy that could withstand even Divine Energy attacks but were completely disintegrated by his enemies' techniques.

Up until that point no A Rank expert lower in Rank than him had survived this long in combat with him.

The breaking of this streak by this man was upsetting to him.

He decided to end things decisively with an unstoppable technique.

“Enough, behold the power of the Seeiers inheritance, manifest, Corporeal Language Synthesis Law!”

All the fat in the ground condensed into one big ball and started to glow.

The neurons merged in on themselves and combined with the ball as well, and then after the clone of Ams body.

Soon a new humongous Am emerged, with a glowing energy-filled body.

Suddenly the giant Am opened its mouth, and a storm of weird-shaped objects flew out his mouth.

As soon as they touched any object or living thing it immediately disintegrated them.

It was massive amounts of destructive enzymes, the cloud of enzymes surrounded him in four different rings.

In one deadly motion chains of neural electrical energy crackled towards Kinis, along with one of the rings of enzymes, and a beam of Natural Energy from Ams finger.

It was a three-pronged attack.

Kinis activated a seal and summoned a larger-sized Golem Tank Cannon.

Immediately it shot a giant Oscillating Beam in the same direction, clashing with the energy beam for a huge explosion.

But it wasn’t a stalemate; the Neural Shocks were attracted to the metal hunk and electrified the Tank, Kinis was forced to remove himself from the top of the weapon, thereafter having to run for his life as the swarm of enzymes came after him.

He saw the destruction those things could cause and wanted no part in them, from the opposite direction another swarm came towards him, and finally another from a third direction.

His only route of escape was toward the direction of Am.

Am in a flash disappeared from his spot directly in front of Kinis and struck out, Kinis knowing he was done for if he confronted him head suddenly disappeared.

‘Frequency Deception’ Phenom Art.

Another one of his creations.

What Am had smashed was the remnant Golem Sphere.

And with it, he had left a little present.

Four of his ultimate weapon creations, Neutron Frequency Bombs, for instance, have immense power enough to destroy four whole cities concentrated in 25 square miles of the forest.

Despite Ams massive power boost nothing within the blast radius seemed to have survived.

In the silence, a noise could be heard.

It was Kinis emerging from deep within the ground.

Had used a special Tunneling Golem device to evade the blast zone and hide.

Kinis emerged, but he was far from great; he was heavily injured and exhausted.

He examined the battlefield for a while and determined nothing was left; he decided to find a place to rest and heal.

But as soon as he turned his back on the battlefield, Am reemerged from the void directly behind Kinis, and with a crazed look thrust his arm forward and stabbed Kinis who barely managed to move.

“Your one dangerous individual mister Kinis, now I know why the Seeier wants to eliminate you. You otherworlders’ sure are a bad omen. It's a shame I was aiming for your heart, but it doesn’t matter. I sense you're all out of energy while I still have energy to spare. But I must admit you did quite a number on me. Now to end this quickly and not prolong your suffering.”

Am used his other arm to grip Kinis by the throat and began to crush it.

But before Am could finish the task Kinis broke his power seal and utilized his war sage powers.

Suddenly Am vanished nowhere to be seen.

First, there was a gargled choking, then coughing, then finally a wretched excruciating scream.

“Arrrrrgghhhhh….. Arrrrrgggghhh…..Aaaaarrrrrrrrgg…. Curse you Seeier, CURSE YOU! I’ll get my revenge I swear.”

Kinis in his moment of desperation had undone the seal and used a War Sage technique ‘Jailing War Dimension’ to temporarily lock Am away.

But the cost of using such a powerful technique was high, he experienced hours of unbearable pain even as he ran away from the scene of the battle until finally, he passed out.

Eventually, he managed to wake up, due to his survival instinct telling him he had to keep on moving, and in that instant, he heard that loathsome creature's voice.

“Congratulations Grand War Sage Kinis you have proven yourself to be worthy to bear the title of a Sage Expert. You have managed to survive and defeat a triple-A Rank Expert and so that same Rank now belongs to you. Let's see how far your luck holds out.”

Kinis could only spit on the ground at the Seeiers’ insults, but he swore he would pay him back a thousandfold.

He quickly escaped the scene and hid his presence knowing fully well that the explosion would attract the attention of high-level experts and officials.

In his post-battle state, he was in no capacity to exert himself again.

He needed time to heal.

He had already activated another Phenom Art Healing Seal which had stopped any severe bleeding, all he had to do was find a safe place to fully recover and formulate the plans for his vengeance.
