Chapter 039: How Deep Their Spies Go
================================

The War God Axe descended, Hossain's eyes was wide in shock when he felt the collision of the axe against his transparent shield.

"So there you are!" he cried in raging delight.

A loud noise rung and the barrier magic shook as it trembled with the noise, cracks appeared like webs on its surface.

Right now, Siva focused all his senses on this one fight and forgot everything else, centering only to the task of eradicating this malevolent unit.

WHOOSH!!

The brandished blood sword made another one of those wind blades but Siva was already nowhere behind him by the time Hossain fully brandished his bloody sword.

BANG!

—CRACK~!!

The sound of his attack came from behind him and Hossain insta-cast a Binding Spell behind him but it only hit air as Siva was gone.

BANG!!

Another attack and it came in front of him. Hossain met Siva's eyes but before he could roar in hate, Siva was only an afterimage, gone in a blink.

Hossain's mind was in fire. How can he just appear and disappear like that?

Just as he was about to swing the bloody sword in his hand, another bang followed by the cracking noise resounded above him.

"You...!!" Hossain was really incensed. Siva was toying with him!

Unable to singly target him, Hossain decided to be on a passive-defensive.

He slammed his left hand in an invisible table right in front of him and a layer of Tidal Wave erupted in his right flank, followed by an Earth Wall above and a Binding Spell on his left.

And right then, Hossain swung the Blood Sword on his left hand in a 18 swing behind him.

Halfway through it, Hossain met Siva's rising attack.

Both of them were startled but it was Hossain who felt the rattling impact of that clash between them.

His right hand flung up, numb, seemingly broken, as Hossain's fury boiled to another level as his pride and fear mixed into a fit of madness, using the last large bit of his Mana Pool to a Tier-5 spell to protect himself.

Another Barrier Magic rose underneath the one on the verge of being broken.

Only a few seconds passed.

Hossain panted and drank a Blue Potion to recover a bit of Mana. Of course Siva wouldn't let his hard-earned chance to quickly end this battle to go into the drain as his panting image —afterimage— was gone at the next instant before Hossain could even cast another insta-spell on his arsenal.

"AAAAAHHH!!"

Hossain was going crazy. His anger boiled at the fact that despite his sacrifice and status, he was yet to land a decent attack.

It was here that the last bits of bombardment fires from Siva's ammunitions started again and Hossain was put to the last bits of his wits trying to counter cast spell to minimize the damage to his shield.

Now that it was focused on him alone, the endless explosions of the bombardment fires and Lightning Bombs rattled Hossain's senses with the noise and the smokes, and so masked the direction where he was coming as he sent the BMA to add more pressure to his crumbling defenses.
