25: Three-way Battle: Part 1

Start from the beginning
                                        

"Not happening," Nayoung sassed.

"We shall see," Baliel chuckled.

The three members of the Triad split up. The three squads had no choice but to split up and fight one on their own.

"So here's the plan. We'll handle Asmodeus. Frizthin will face Baliel. Texty will battle Candor. Texty, can we trust you on that?" Aron planned.

"Sure, seonbaenim," Soobin answered in behalf.

The three squads went to chase their assigned Triad member. Texty was able to catch up with Candor five blocks north from their original spot.

"So, you are my opponents, huh? Aren't you too young to be involved in this magical combats?" Candor mentioned.

"Yes. Yes, we are but it's our choice," Yeonjun claimed.

"Oh, it's such a waste. Your lives will end today. You could have had a full life in front of you," Candor said. Quickly, Candor released a wave of telekinetic energy.

"Oh no, you don't!" Soobin countered it with the same techfnique.

In retaliation, Yeonjun fired blue streams of fire but Candor countered with the same power. Beomgyu made it rain light arrows on Candor's area but Candor simply negated every single arrow with lightning bolts. He, then, threw a bunch of Fireballs and Energy Balls to Texty.

"Energy Balls! Fireballs!" Huening Kai called. The projectiles were surrounded by swirling air and Huening Kai maneuvered them back to Candor's direction.

Confused? To clarify things up, yes, Huening Kai was Texty's teleporter with Aeroportation. However, what Huening Kai did was an offensive application of the advancement of his power called Remote Teleportation. In Remote Teleportation, the teleporter can now teleport people and objects to and away from them without establishing physical contact. Using this principle, Huening Kai just remotely teleported the projectiles back to Candor's direction. This technique was first developed by Kuanlin when his Sparkling advanced. Up to this point, only ten teleporters are capable of Remote Teleportation: Kuanlin, J-Hope, Vernon, Kyulkyung, Hoony, Wheein, Yuta, Yangyang, Chenle, and Huening Kai. They all learned this technique from Kuanlin.

So, the projectiles returned to Candor's direction. Surprised but unfazed, Candor dodged every single one of the projectiles.

"You, guys, are pretty good," Candor complimented them.

"You are not a pushover yourself," Soobin returned the praise.

"But sadly, playtime's over. It's time for me to get serious so you better brace yourselves," Candor claimed.

Indeed, Candor was getting serious. He released blue fire using his feet, making the fire spread along the ground. Simultaneously, he also fired beams of concentrated electricity from both of his palms. He also released another wave of telekinetic energy just by squinting his eyes. Texty was also undaunted.

"X-Con: Everlasting Shine!"

Texty was now surrounded a shield dome made of light

Texty was now surrounded a shield dome made of light. This dome of light effectively defended them against all of Candor's attack. The shield was also augmenting the powers of everyone inside expect Taehyun's, since his power was already Augmentation. On the outside, the shield was so bright, it was glaring everyone – Candor in this case.

"What is this. So bright, I cannot see!" Candor screamed while covering his eyes with both arms.

Seizing the opportunity of Candor's defenseless state and the added boost on their power, Soobin attacked Candor with a wave of telekinetic energy, Yeonjun and Beomgyu fired blue fire and light, respectively, from both of their hands. Blinded by Texty's shield, Candor was unable to defend himself. The three attacks landed a solid hit, finishing and making Candor explode.

"Did we just do that?" Soobin's mouth was ajar.

"I can't believe we actually defeated an enemy," Yeonjun smiled.

"We did it! We did it! We did it! Yeah!" Beomgyu celebrated.

"Our first magical battle just by ourselves is a huge success!" Taehyun rejoiced. "I can't wait to tell Taehyung-seonbaenim about this."

"I have to tell Jungkook-seonbaenim as well," Huening Kai's excited reaction.

While Texty were ecstatic though, Frizthin ran into some trouble against their assigned Triad member.
