...
The ten seconds soon passed before everyone disappeared, their grouping becoming naught.
However, Erix and Rin had held their hands before disappearing to see if they could appear together, and it worked.
Both of them appeared at a riverbank with a five-meter tall temple containing a bull's statue inside. The bull wore golden pieces of jewelry, and its eyes had glowing red crystals.
However, this land didn't seem that big since Rin and Erix saw a person on the other side of this ten-meter-wide river.
Whether it was a coincidence or misfortune, the one standing on the other side of the river was Lex.
The moment he saw Erix and Rin, he wasn't even stunned but grinned widely and took out two Chaos Gadgets before shooting them toward the duo.
'What the....' Erix cursed.
Erix still had Rin's hand in his grip, so he teleported without a moment's hesitation when he saw Lex's grin.
Those two Chaos Gadgets had transformed, one turning into a huge lightning snake that made a turn and went towards Erix, who had teleported a kilometer high in the sky.
Meanwhile, the other chaos gadget expanded into a black field, covering two kilometers of area.
Erix and Rin immediately lost their sight, but they could still 'see' with their Spirit Sense.
Without hesitation, Erix took out a chaos gadget containing a defensive skill and used it.
'Erix, Let's kill him and be done with it,' Rin sharply said. 'It's two vs. one.'
The chaos gadget expanded into a Geocrystal bunker that covered both of them. It could defend against any elemental attacks except for the water element and pure physical attacks for one minute.
'It will be hard, but let's try. We have no other choice,' Erix said as he quickly located Lex with his Space Mapping and saw him flying straight towards them while he had a Chaos Gadget between his fingers, ready to use.
'Does he know?' Erix felt a chill before he immediately teleported again as he didn't want to take any risk, appearing 1 kilometer below near the treasure temple.
*BOOM!*
A moment after that, Lex destroyed the Geocrystal Bunker with his glowing fist as he used a Chaos Gadget.
'Damn it!' Lex cursed but quickly traced them with his Spirit Sense. 'Fucking teleport. I need to kill that guy first.'
"Fuck, how did he know its weakness?" Rin frowned with annoyance.
"Maybe from his experience or some skills? Let's assume that he knows the weakness of defenses," Erix said before he immediately took out Arcane Seal Bullet and shot it towards Lex.
'Rin, this is our only chance to take him out. We can't afford to waste our second powerful control skill on Lex if we fail to take him out.'
'Got it.'
On the other hand, Lex immediately saw Arcane Seal Bullet shooting towards him and snorted, 'That's not going to hit me.'
However, a wormhole suddenly appeared before the bullet that connected to a wormhole that Erix materialized right before Lex.
After learning Space Mapping, he could materialize wormhole quickly anywhere within range of his Spirit Sense.
*Pich!*
The bullet pierced Lex's shoulder despite his effort to dodge it, causing his face to turn dark as he immediately lost his means to fly and fell down. His magic and mana got sealed.
All mana circulations within his body halted, so he couldn't use regular skills to support himself, like flying with his wings or other movement-type skills.
Right after that, he saw Volt Spire Lance shooting toward him while Rin and Erix stood fifty meters away from him at the temple.
"Do you think I will fall for such a trick?" Lex snorted as he didn't dodge nor try to defend against the Volt Spire Lance crackling with powerful lightning as it simply passed through him.
Meanwhile, he took out an offense skill chaos gadget to attack Rin and Erix. But he knew they could defend with their chaos gadget, making him annoyed. 'I am at a disadvantage with these fucking rules.'
His focus was on Erix and Rin since he wanted to make sure he sensed whenever they used their Chaos Gadgets.
However, his expression suddenly changed as he felt another aura rising from the volt spire lance that passed through him.
Rin and Erix smirked as they knew Lex was fooled. Rin had attached a Chaos Gadget to the Volt Spire Spear's middle part, and with its lightning aura masking the deactivated Chaos Gadget, Lex couldn't sense it at all.
And when he sensed the attack skill that emerged from it, he was too late to use any defense-skill chaos gadget.
But the twist didn't end there.
The skill Rin used was none other than her Bloodline Skill that she had stored in a chaos gadget! Pure, Intense, Offence! But due to the bloodline skill's activation condition, Rin's index finger lit up, and she immediately shot all three orbs toward a wormhole that Erix had moved before her and above Lex, who had his attention split while mana and magic sealed!
'FUCK!!'
Lex cursed, his eyes turned bloodshot in an instant due to the tension and heat he felt as those three orbs exploded into a bloody dark red explosion that immediately targetted him and covered him before ravaging him with a crimson dark flame that burned his blood seeped into his body for further damage.
'Arghhh!!' Lex screamed in pain, but he quickly judged that this attack was not enough to kill him and took out a defensive chaos gadget.
