MIGHT AS WELL BE OP

Amos was the first to move with his sword.

Ever so confident in his attack and happy about the loot and payment.

Mana moved swiftly and gathered on Amos' sword as he appeared in front of Anthony and raised his sword high up in the sky, then slahsed down as if trying to split Anthony in perfect half.

[Amos Sword Technique: Cut of Boredom]

The sword descended upon Anthony with speed and power.

And Anthony not even moving at all as the sword came closer and closer to his head made Amos smile and think that Anthony was just a mage and was just fooling around with the katana hanging on his waist.

Anthony saw the attack coming, ever so slow, ever so bored.

Anthony just took a step to the right at the last second and dodged with the most minimal movement befitting a veteran.

The sword cut through the air and space immediately Anthony dodged and landed on the ground instantly casting a resounding explosion that tore the entire ground in half within a two kilometre radius.

***BOOOM***

The ground shook as dust and debris rose up, but no blood was splattered and moved in tandem with it.

Amos became alert seeing that his attack failed and instantly took a step back.

As the dust cleared, Anthony's figure came on full display again.

Not even a speck of dust from Amos' destruction could be found on his body.

Clara instantly moved with her magic as she waved her hands as he casted a spell showcasing her proficiency.

[Wind Magic: Gale Blade]

Mana surged instantly together with the wind element as they mixed together and formed a hundred blades that instantly rained down from the sky all focusing on one target.

Anthony saw the attack coming towards him but didn't move as all blades instantly stopped in front of him.

Clara frowned as she felt a powerful unknown force forcefully stopping her attack and preventing it from moving.

She chanelled more mana as she tried to control her blades, but before she could control them, the blades instantly shattered and dissipated.

Before Anthony could say anything, Chika materialized behind Anthony and he thrust out his spear with a strong force and immense speed and accuracy.

**SWISSSHH**

Anthony didn't bother dodging and still stood in place.

As the spear moved closer, Chika felt his speed slowing down continuously until it stopped in front of Anthony.

'Its the same way he stopped the wind blade attack'

Chika thought as he instantly moved out the way as he wasn't sure what Anthony was doing that made him block two attacks in succession without moving a muscle.

The rest of the group also frowned when they saw this happen.

Three continuous attacks but none landed and were dodged with minimum efforts.

Although this wasn't even a fraction of their power or their true ability, it was still surprising.

They initially didn't have any plan or ways to fight Anthony as this was a five versus one fight, there was no need to make any plans and that too for someone without their trump card (the so called mana reservoir)

"Anthony it seems you indeed have little to no mana at all in your mana reservoir artifact"

Zara said with a smile as she looked at Anthony like he was a dead meant.

"I don't want to hurt your handsome face, just commit suicide and end your suffering with minimal pain, there is no way you win this"

"I'm sure you know this that's why you aren't using the mana in your core as you trying to save up and not spend unnecessarily"

Zara said again with a smile and a flash of lust that went through her eyes and disappeared.

Anthony just sighed while shaking his head and said in reply.

"I don't know why people talk too much during a battle, if you want what I have on me why waste your saliva and make your salivatory glands work overtime, at the end of the day, you are just an old cow trying to eat some young and fresh green grass"

The moment the last few words left Anthony's mouth, the smile on Clara and Zara's face disappeared.

Anthony just touched the reverse scale of all women in existence.....'Age'

Although Anthony didn't say anything to Clara or insult her, Clara was a woman and secondly she was Zara's sister.

She had the right to be proportionally angry at Anthony.

Zara and Clara's face instantly turned sour and they both became angry.

Their Master rank aura instantly flared up at this moment as killing intent seeped out of their body.

The atmosphere bent to their presence and beast in the area instantly moved out of the way, those at the Master rank and higher decided to watch a good show.

Zara turned to Amos and his group and said in a low cold tone laced with killing intent.

"Do not interfere"

Amos frowned as he heard this, although he knew that the reserve scale of women was their age and was a forbidden topic that shouldn't be touched or spoken about, he couldn't just agree to what Zara just said.

The mana reservoir artifact was meant to go to whoever put in the most effort.

Now if Zara and Clara fights Anthony alone, it would naturally go to them, so he couldn't agree to this.

"Are you trying to go against the agreement we had, although we are bound by a mana contract that says we can't betray one another, that doesn't mean I can't attack you right now as what I'm doing isn't betrayal"

Amos said in a reply as he looked at Zara and Clara and refused to agree to such a demand.

"Hmph, you are just faking your anger and trying to use this as an opportunity to put in the most effort"

Zayne's voice sounded from behind Anthony as he stared at the sisters.

Zara's killing intent increased again and continued skyrocketing as it was sent to Anthony and Amos at same time.

"We can decide who gets the artifact another way, although the contract spoke about betrayal, I can also kill you on the spot since I didn't kill you in regard to our business but a personal matter"

Zara's voice sounded again but colder this time as she was indeed ready to make a move against Amos.

Her anger clouding her judgement at this moment as Anthony touched her time bomb and it indeed exploded.

This was a sort of a loophole in their mana contract, although they couldn't betray one another, this was only in regards to the assassination mission and nothing else.

If right now Zara and Clara decided to attack Amos and his group, this isn't about the assassination anymore but a personal matter.

They all knew this loophole existed in the contract but didn't bother covering it as they didn't know each other outside this mission.

So it wasn't really a loophole but an unspoken understanding between one another.

As Amos was about to reply Zara, a thought went through his mind.

'What if Anthony kills the both of them?'

This thought hung in there for a second, if this happens he would get the reservoir for himself.

Amos smiled then replied Zara

"I agree then"

Immediately Amos said this, he shot into the sky and went to stand near Meek so they could watch the show together.

Zayne and Chika didn't know what Amos was thinking or why he agreed, they could only grumble and follow behind him as he flew.

Anthony sighed in defeat.

He really wanted them to fight together, he anticipated such a match as he saw the two groups bickering.

'Too bad Amos is just a spineless coward, such a good show would have been a good sight to behold'

Anthony thought as he sighed.

Zara and Clara turned their fiery gaze to Anthony and said at the same time.

"This just became personal"
