The two Core Elders immediately charged at Kyle at their full speeds, which was roughly 3,000 kms.
In general, the average speed of Crushers was 2,000 kilometers per second, but since those two were already Major Crushers, their speed was well above average.
If they actually had Complex Laws that increased their speed, they would be much faster.
The Head Elder wielded his staff and created a dense and superheated storm of burning ice.
The Treasury Elder gathered his lightning and aimed at Kyle.
The Head followed after the two Core Elders. By the looks of things, he could easily overtake them, but he decided to stay behind them.
The Disciplinary Elder created several huge shields in front of the Head Elder and Treasury Elder to defend them.
As Kyle saw all of his, only one sentence shot through his mind.
'I'm going to fucking die!' he thought in panic.
All six of them had a stronger Momentum than he had, which made his instincts shout at him that he was about to die.
'Just follow the plan!' Kyle thought in panic as his Energy moved.
As the three Elders charged at Kyle, he suddenly lost half of his Energy.
An instant later, an illusory hammer appeared directly beside the Treasury Elder with his lightning bow.
The Treasury Elder noticed the hammer, but he kept his calm.
This attack was extremely dangerous, but he knew that the Disciplinary Elder would defend him.
The illusory hammer struck.
CRACK!
The Treasury Elder's eyes opened wide in horror as the pick of the illusory hammer hit the left side of his chest.
Several of his ribs cracked, and his body was shot into the distance.
He didn't manage to fire his arrows.
The Treasury Elder looked with horror at the Disciplinary Elder, who just looked at Kyle warily.
What?!
Why didn't he defend him?!
Naturally, that was Manny's doing.
Luckily, the attack wasn't powerful enough to kill the Treasury Elder. Yes, it injured him severely, but his Center was still in one piece.
Yet, before the Treasury Elder even hit the building his body was flung towards, his mind became hazy.
That was when he noticed that his entire body was being invaded by corrosive and foreign Energy!
At that moment, the Treasury Elder realized something.
He wouldn't survive.
The corrosive Energy would tear through his entire body and turn it into pus and poison.
Naturally, this was Swamp Dragon's doing.
Swamp Dragon had infused Kyle with his corrosive Energy, and Kyle had shoved it into his Center just before launching his Law of Hammer.
This had turned the Law of Hammer toxic.
The Treasury Elder didn't have an Infused Complex Law in his body.
His body was comparatively frail, and Swamp Dragon's toxin could even kill Crusher Beasts.
The Treasury Elder was done for, and Kyle had succeeded in the first part of his mission.
Kill one enemy.
The illusory hammer dispersed.
If Kyle pulled it back, he could still recover 20% of his Energy, but that would also mean pulling Swamp Dragon's toxin back into his Center.
He could deal with the toxin for a short moment, but not for an entire battle.
So, Kyle just let the illusory hammer disperse.
He had managed to kill an enemy, but he had also lost half of his Energy.
However, Kyle barely noticed that he managed to kill an enemy since the Head and the two Core Elders arrived at his location.
As the three charged at him, Swamp Dragon shot past Kyle.
Swamp Dragon launched several arrows at the Disciplinary Elder, who was ready to defend.
Manny was no longer controlling him.
Their enemies were humans, not beasts.
Continuously controlling beasts was not hard for Manny, but if he overdid it with humans, the enemy would quickly realize that something was going on.
Manny shot past Kyle as well, flying towards the Head Elder, who was about to launch his storm of superheated icicles.
Meanwhile, Kyle fled to his left, avoiding direct conflict with the three melee fighters.
The Head Elder saw to where Kyle was running and immediately launched his attack.
The storm of heated icicles shot forward, its power enormous.
The Core Elders and the Head followed Kyle.
As Kyle looked around, he noticed that there was no way out.
No matter where he went, he would get hit by something.
"Storm!" Manny transmitted.
Kyle trusted Manny and charged right at the storm of superheated icicles.
The two Core Elders were running after Kyle, while the Head was closing in from the side.
There was no way out.
And then, the storm of icicles suddenly veered to the side, directly towards the Head.
The Head's eyes widened, and he stopped his pursuit.
What the fuck was the Head Elder doing?!
Yet, the storm of icicles veered even more to the side, again targeting the Head.
The Head knew that this attack could kill him, and he quickly retreated while transmitting orders to the Head Elder.
The Head Elder was confused. Why did he get orders to stop the attack?!
The enemy was right there!
At that moment, the Head Elder was put in front of a choice.
Either the Head's orders or his perception was fake.
He knew that there had to be some kind of deception or illusion.
Stop or continue?
A 50/50 choice.
And that was when the effects of Karmic Luck reared their ugly head.
In the Head Elder's mind, the chances that a voice transmission could be faked were higher than the chances that his entire perception could be faked.
He continued the attack.
The Head was forced to retreat and run from the attack, taking pressure off Kyle.
The two Core Elders saw that something was going on.
The Treasury Elder had already died, and their Head Elder was attacking the wrong person.
Someone in the enemy team had mental powers.
Their eyes fell onto Kyle.
They were faster than Kyle, and they were quickly catching up.
This old man had a frail body, and he had immediately retreated from their advance.
It must be the old man who had the mental powers.
Seekers with mental powers had notoriously weak bodies and defenses.
As long as they could reach Kyle, they would win.
They used all their power to increase their speed, and they caught up to Kyle.
Meanwhile, Kyle's mind was going wild.
He felt like he was about to die!
'Fine! If I die, I die!' he thought.
In an instant, he stopped running away and charged right towards the two Core Elders.
Kyle's speed suddenly shot through the roof, reaching levels of speed the two Core Elders could only dream of.
A hammer appeared in Kyle's hand, and the remaining half of his Energy vanished.
His entire body bulged as his hammer grew.
A glare of pure hatred shot at one of the Core Elders.
The Core Elders noticed that Kyle didn't seem weak at all, but they chalked it up to his mental powers.
This was just intimidation!
With practiced ease, the Core Elder with the shield charged directly at Kyle, while the other Core Elder came from the side with his axe.
Kyle's Energy dropped critically low, but he had recovered enough for his Law of Hammer.
With a mix of anger, hatred, panic, and fear, Kyle struck forward.
"RAAAAAAAAAAHH!"
The Core Elder with the shield just had one thought.
'Fast!'
He barely managed to hide behind his shield.
The hammerhead hit the shield.
BOOOOOOOM!
The shield exploded as all of Kyle's power crashed down.
The hammer went through the shield.
Then, it went through the Core Elder's arm.
And finally, it went through the Core Elder's entire body.
BOOOOOOM!
The Core Elder turned into chunks of blood, bone, and organs, which shot towards the horizon.
At the same time, the fiery axe of the other Core Elder rammed into the side of Kyle's chest.
All the different aspects of Kyle's Complex Law weakened the axe, but it barely made a difference.
The axe rammed into Kyle's left chest.
BANG!
The right side of Kyle's body exploded, changing the angle of his body.
The axe continued cutting.
CRKSH!
Kyle was bisected.
