Chapter 19: Coordinated attack.
Raphaël had set up a fighting tactic by taking into account everyone's abilities in order to confront Franck.
The fight was now about to start.
Franck jumps suddenly and landed forcefully on their position destroying the soil at the same time and lifting a large cloud of dust.
Sarah and the others were dispersed before Franck's impact and had therefore not suffered any damage.
Raphaël back put on three wind arrows and attacked Franck's silhouette which appeared through the cloud of dust.
The arrows left at high speed dissipating the dust cloud at the same time.
However, they were repelled from the back of the hand of Franck who had covered his arms with earth.
'' Your attacks are too weak! '' Said Franck.
Griffus who had the role of lure in turn rushed to Franck and attacked him with his sword.
His blows were clumsy and unpredictable which was enough to disturb any opponent.
However, Franck managed to counter his attacks without showing any difficulty.
From a rapid movement, he firmly grasped Griffus's neck and began to strangle him.
'' NOW ! ''
Franck's attention now riveted on Griffus, Sarah and Isabella took it to pass behind her back and attacked him with their sword by cutting off her back with a dry blow.
However, their swords remained planted in Franck's back despite the strength used by the two girls to remove it.
Before receiving their attacks, Franck had covered his background and thus trapping the swords of the two girls who was now stuck.
Franck projected Griffus to the ground violently and quickly turned to attack the two girls behind him with his fist.
Sarah and Isabella had to abandon their swords to avoid the devastating blow of Franck who struck and broke the ground.
'' It's all so! '' Said Franck, the look full of bitterness.
"It looks bad, this guy is a brute. Said Raphaël.
He had not underestimated Franck.
However, Franck's power was much greater than he had estimated.
Griffus lying on the ground given his injuries regenerate.
He got up and put distance between him and Franck.
Isabella covered her hands with water and took a combat position.
Deprived of a weapon, he only had an option left, use magic.
Sarah who was in the same situation as she found herself back to the wall because unlike Isabella, she did not want to use her flames.
The second round was going to start and Griffus launched hostilities.
He charged Franck and continued to attack him, but this time his movements were much faster.
Franck got a little more than usual to counter his attacks.
In full exchange, Franck considers an opening.
But when he wanted to exploit the fault, an arrow rushed in his direction.
The timing was perfect.
It was as if the arrow had been launched in anticipation of this moment.
Franck had to give up his attack and dodged the arrow.
Three other arrows arrived from the sky with a curved trajectory.
Franck did not have trouble dodging but had to change positions for that.
He then fell face to face in front of Isabella who had just finished reciting his incantations and a magic circle appeared under his feet.
At that time, Franck understood that he was in a delicate situation.
He turned his gaze to Raphaël remained behind.
"It's very well played kid. Said Franck internally.
'' Water magic, bubble of containment. ''
The magic circle that appeared below Franck was activated and Franck seen his entire body prisoner in a huge bubble of water.
Just like with Sarah, Franck Prisoner in the bubble was also deprived of air.
The fight seemed to be won now.
However, the water bubble turned into mud and this mud began to harden.
Franck Brisa from the inside the mud bubble and get out of it.
'' He freed himself from my fate. '' Said Isabella was surprised.
'' I must admit that this time you did a good job. '' Said Franck smiling.
"And that's thanks to Raphaël. He trained an alliance with the other three and implemented an attack plan taking into account everyone's capacities. He even managed to put me in a delicate situation by attracting me where he wanted it with his arrows. Of course the others have also shown to be up to it, but Raphaël has already proved that he had the soul of a commander. »»
Franck was impressed by the leadership shown by Raphaël.
And it is for this reason that he would now become his main target.
Franck rushed in the direction of Raphaël and closed his head.
Franck had been so fast that Raphaël had not seen anything coming.
'' In a battle, killed the enemy commander it was won the war. You should also have favored your own defense. ''
'' ...! ''
Franck struck him violently with the abdomen and then shattered his head on the ground, making him lose consciousness.
'' The commander now out of harm, the troops are disorganized and fear begins to settle. I just have to clean up. ''
Franck then headed for Isabella and projected him violently with his fist.
Sarah appeared in the air and attacked her with a kick.
Franck pa his kick with his forearm without difficulty.
Sarah went to the assault and attacked her with a punch.
'' It's not with this kind of attack that you will be right for me! ''
Franck struck with his fist which he had covered with earth the fist of Sarah and broke his bones.
Sarah uttered a cry of pain and then had ahead in the distance, receiving a punch in the face.
Griffus who observed a opening and rushed in the direction of Franck to attack him.
However, the ground was trapped and it began to sink into the ground until its head left on the surface.
Franck approached him and began to trample his head, pushing him completely in the ground.
'' Get up! '' Ordered Franck.
Their injuries began to regenerate, but as Franck had said, the pain did not flock.
However, they all got up and displayed a look to determine a sign of their desire to gain power.
'' I love it! Let's continue! '' Cried Franck who went to the assault.
The training lasted until sunset.
Sarah and the others were seriously injured but they are still noted despite fatigue and pain.
Their combat techniques improved significantly during the session and Franck had also noticed it.
'' It's been finished for today. Training resumes tomorrow at the same time. ''
When Franck says these words, everyone collapsed with fatigue on the ground.
'Finally it's ... It's over. I thought that ... I was going to go there. '' Said Griffus.
Isabella lying on the ground covered part of her face with his hand trying to hide the expression that his face was asleep.
"Fortunately it's over. A little more and I reached my limits. »»
Training was now over and each of them was going to be able to take a personal assessment of their day.
