Chapter 123: A Minute
"I've incapacitated Solara for a while, you deal with Naomi, I'll come help you when I've killed Kail."
Naomi had just retreated to her group when Blake spoke these words and she couldn't help but be stunned.
"How does he know your name" Naomi said looking at Kail, but Kail's attention was not on her but on Solara, an unhappy frown on his face as he noticed the blood stains on her face and clothes.
"What is that," Naomi asked also noticing it.
"The scattered shards of his sword, it should be some kind of poison," Kail said and just as he finished speaking, Solara who had been silent all this while fell to her knees, her right hand on her bountiful chest as her breathing turned heavy and rapid.
"You both go, they're coming." Solara wheezed out.
Seeing the beads of sweat that began forming on Solara's forehead, Naomi frowned wanting to argue with her, but Kail's voice rang out to the hearing of all in the area.
"Solara hold tight, Naomi go hold back the infernal demon, I'll come help you after I'm done killing this blood clown, it shouldn't take up to a minute."
After saying this, Kail's body blurred as he ran towards Blake and Naomi though hesitant, after patting Solara on the back and telling her she would be back as fast as possible, without fear she ran to clash with a fourth-order being.
As the two departed, seconds later, three wisps of black smoke came off Solara's skin her body shivering as it rapidly weakened, her ability to command her mana becoming near eradicated while whispers of evil filled her head.

......
Approaching Kail, Blake took another look at the stats of all three people, the system's comment on Kail drawing his attention.
When making a comment about his inspected targets, the system never called out his name, but this time, when it did Blake could not help but remember Mr. Black, wondering if it was his doing.
"I'll make sense of this later."
Having been quick on his feet to leave behind his sword and use a blood curse on Solara just as Kail's fist wrecked his innards, the enemy's team was now down to two people and just like Blake had told Rehabab he had every intention of ending Kail and coming over to help him.
Speeding towards a similarly charging Kail, when they both got into combat range, they both surprisingly had fireballs shooting out of their raised palms and speeding towards each other.
With their focus on each other, they continuously dodged each other's attack, Blake a little bit bitter to see that while Kail gracefully dodged his attacks, he was forced to slash and roll out of the way of Kail's own, his momentum slowed so that when he got close to Kail and brought down his katana and clashed it with a red sword that had appeared in Kail's hand, he found himself being forced backwards despite his blood already pumping through him.
It was sad to accept but the undeniable truth was that despite Blake's huge frame he was actually outclassed by Kail in terms of strength, the inspect skill did not lie.
Grunting as he was forced back, Blake snorted and sent his left hand shooting towards Kail, a fireball in his palm and rapidly expanding as it was carried forward.
Unfazed by the sudden attack from Blake, Kail slashed his blade upwards at Blake's fireball his blade colliding with it and stopping its forward movement in its track, the fact that it hadn't yet exploded despite the collision from Kail's sword was a testament of it's stability.
Unruffled by Kail's move, Blake seeing his chance to chop off a defenceless opponent's head had his blade going towards the man's neck but then Kail rather than keep pressing his blade against the fireball, pushed it to the side, sending Blake's arm flailing and leaving his chest wide open.
The sudden move surprised Blake who had already moved most of his attention to his swinging blade, but then just When Blake thought Kail would use this opportunity to retreat, he let the momentum he had used to deflect Blake's fireball, carry him forward and then with some power from his legs, he sent his body spinning and his back eventually colliding with Blake's chest.
Completely taken off guard, the hit had Blake taking a step back only able to watch Kail bounce off his body and into the air and while his body spun, just before it landed a red light shot off from him and landed behind Blake to reveal a red spear.
Recovering from Kail's hit, Blake stood on his feet, but he could only watch as a relaxed Kail walked past him and toward his spear.
"This was too easy," Kail muttered as he went past Blake and then he raised his voice as he spoke his next words.
"Alright Naomi I'm coming to help"
Kail's words brought the attention of the three other people on the battlefield towards him and Blake, everyone's eyes widening when they saw the fist-sized hole right in the middle of Blake's chest.
"It hasn't even been half a minute."
