After being helped by Mallory, Blake looked at Michael.
Michael had just sent a mana bullet at Joe, in an attempt to take down the leader from the beginning.
However, Joe used his instinct and reflexes super developed and perfectly dodged the bullet.
Michael then got shocked since not even the eagle-eye race could dodge his bullet, but Joe, who was just a few meters of distance could. That was unbelievable.
Then, Michael felt the presence of one of Blake's undead sneak attacking him on his leg.
He then jumped using his mana to increase distance.
He looked back and saw the king-cobra trying to catch up but falling.
Besides that, he noticed all the undead hobgoblins closing the encirclement.
Michael was afraid of losing his escape route and being forced into a resilience fight until he lost all his spiritual energy.
Therefore, Micheal took advantage of his high ground and shot the undead hobgoblins from above.
While he was going up, he shot four undead hobgoblins in the head.
After being hit in the head, those undeads died again.
Meanwhile, August attacked the other members of the Death Flag Alliance.
Since August's class wasn't focused on combat, his combat strength wasn't as extraordinary as the others.
However, his class still was the best in strategies, so if his strength was matched with his adversary, he would hardly lose.
Therefore, August attacked the normal members with impeccable moves that could easily defeat all of them one by one.
By the time Michael jumped, Ausgust had already defeated two members of the Death Flag Alliance.
That is why, Joe ordered Abel and Blake to take his place against Michael, while he turned around to confront August.
August saw that coming and was already fully prepared to fight Joe.
When Joe got near August to strike a punch, the latter moved in a way to guide Joe's punch into one of Joe's underlines of his alliance.
Joe accidentally hit his member, who was teleported just after being hit.
Joe got furious and lost his temper. Without thinking too much, he continued to strike with all his strength.
However, August continues to dodge and directorate Joe's attack at Joe's own underlines.
Joe's underlines were being defeated one by one by Joe's attack.
Joe tried to order them to stay out of the fight, but August kept close to them while walking around.
After teleporting five more members, Joe managed to calm himself and ordered his members to disperse to all directions, while standing unmoved observing August.
August saw this scene and went to one of the members without much thought in each one would be better to attack.
The one he was attacking was that blond member.
Joe who was already tired of seeing his members being forcibly teleported helplessly, also went to that blond one to protect him.
The moment August got near the blond one, he didn't attack him, but turned around and attacked Joe coming instead.
Joe was only thinking in protect that blond one, he never thought of the possibility of being attacked in the middle of the way.
Probably the fact that August kept only dodging and running away gave the impression that August wouldn't fight him head-on.
Joe then used his reflexes to dodge the attack, but it was a fake, and he got kicked by August in the knee.
Joe lost his balance, but still manage to keep standing.
August didn't lose his opportunity and stroked at Joe's eyes.
When Joe was to defend it. This attack was also fake and August hit Joe's same knee.
Joe could vigorously keep standing again, but he was enduring more pain than last time.
August then took the opportunity and aimed at Joe's neck.
Joe was already prepared and blocked either his neck and his knee.
However, this time the attack wasn't just a fake, and the half-hearted blook made by Joe couldn't fully block it. and August's attack hit Joe.
Joe tried to take a distance, but August kept close to him and aimed at his knees again.
The attack landed, and Joe felt even more pain in his knees.
Even though he wasn't stronger or faster than Joe, August's strategy was flawless.
Joe couldn't think of a way to win. But then his mind got clear.
Joe realized that August was predicting his move in order to land a hit. If he wanted to win, he had to be more unpredictable.
He remembered his fight with Mallory and thought about how to unpredictably change his fight style.
So Joe then went straight at August striking a punch.
August then moved in a way on dodging Joe's attack and guiding it at the blond one.
However, the moment his puch was going to land, Joe took the blond one's sword and threw it at August.
August was surprised but still managed to dodge.
Joe then jumped at the sword direction behind August, as if wanting to take it again.
August then dodged to the left in order to get out of the way.
But Joe surprisingly wasn't aiming at the sword and landed a spinning kick on August.
August had his left arm crushed by Joe's kick.
Joe then took the opportunity and aim an infinity of moves at August.
Joe punched, kicked, head hit, he used all the ways he could think of to make the slightest damage to August as fast as possible.
His sequences weren't that smooth or strong compared to Joe's capabilities.
However, August just could dodge a few of them and had most of Joe's moves hitting him.
August started to accumulate injuries helplessly while trying to think of a way to change the table.
But he could only think of one way to save him. But this method didn't seem to be going to work.
At least until he was on the verge of being forced to teleport.
One of his arms was already broken and the other had injuries all over it that made it look worse than the broken one.
The rest of his body, including his face, wasn't anything different.
But August thought of a method to protect him. He uses all of his spiritual energy to accumulate around his body.
It was extremely hard already for him to do so, and even more with Joe's attack.
However, when August was on the verge of death, he got to manipulate the mana to form a mana shiel all over his body.
Since Joe's attack wasn't strong, but only focused on landing on the target, none of them caused any extra damage on August. The shield was able to block everything.
August smile for his succeed and looked at Joe with disdain.
Joe then stopped to make his ineffective moves and focus to make a direct strong punch to crush the shield.
August didn't even try to dodge.
But the moment the punch landed on the shield, the shield formed an explosion that threw Joe meters away.
Joe was sent flying and hit his back on a near tree.
When Joe stood up, August had already raised another shield and was ready to continue fighting.
Joe then went to the sword a few meters to his side and took it.
He then went straight to August and made a strong slash trying to cut August in two.
But the moment the attack landed the shield exploded and sent Joe fling again.
Joe then had another idea. He took the sword back and went to agust again.
But when he was close to August, not too close, still a few meters away.
He threw the sword with all his strength at August.
The latter didn't have time to dodge it, and the strike hit the shield.
The shield then exploded again and sent the sword flying.
Joe, who wasn't too close, firmed his foot on the floor to resist the explosion, and just after the explosion ended he jumped over August.
August couldn't see or hear anything because of the explosion.
He just realized Joe's attack when Joe's fist was less than a second away from hitting his face.
Joe's strike landed and broke August's skull.
August was forced to teleport because of this critical hit.
Joe, the leader of the Death Flag Alliance, won over August, the leader of The Rankers.
That victory made all the other members of the Death Flag Alliance, that disperse and was watching while hiding, develop even more respect for their leader in their hearts.
