As the sun began to rise over the horizon, Max wrapped his hand around Sebastian who was having pre-fight jitters.
" What I don't understand is why can't I just give the ring to Severus or you or Zippo? Why can't I just like - have you all summon the undead? Why must I be personally present on the dangerous missions? " Sebastian asked as he tried to weasel his way out of the situation.
" You can't because the treasure is bound to you Sebastian…. " Max reminded
" Agh technicalities! That bastard cursed me while he was dying. I'm telling you Max, he could have rested in peace but he cursed his ring to be bound with me because he knew it will make my life miserable " Sebastian ranted as his idiotic comments made Max relax his nerves a little before the fight.
Since Mira was still healing her damaged wing Max did not want to ride with her into battle, rather he was teaming up with the clone right from the get-go to start the fight.
It was assuring to have the clone by his side, but somehow it was more assuring to have Mira.
Max could not feel the mental satisfaction of having strength in numbers when he was with the clone as he felt that they were the one and the same.
In a situation where Max would be out of options or ideas, the clone would be the same, whereas Mira might have had some different perspective.
The only solace he had was the fact that Zippo was protecting him from the shadows and should anything go horribly wrong that he would be there to ward the danger off.
" Alright then, off we go " Max said as he used [ Wind Manipulation ] to take flight as he carried Sebastian with him.
The clone could fly on his own and the trio flew high with Zippo flying low along the tree-line as they zoomed towards Blackfang camp.
" Alright now! " Max commanded as they were only five killometers away from the camp as at his signal the clone move faster towards the enemy land as Max slowly lowered Sebastian.
Sensing the intrusion in his area of control, Ferox jolted into action as he took to the skies to stop whoever was incoming towards his camp at the speed of sound.
" AMBUSH " he screamed as his voice boomed throughout the Blackfang camp as the soldiers who had just woken up and were lazily doing their morning routine jolted into action as they scrambled to find their weapons and armour.
*SHINGGG*
The clone crossed swords with Ferox mid-air as the two gazed intensely into each other's eyes while sparks flew from their colliding swords.
Ferox was objectively stronger than the clone and could have pushed him back had the clone actually been flying through conventional means.
But the clone was flying through wind manipulation and he just increased the strength of his elemental powers to not give his enemy an inch creating the illusion that he was just as strong as Ferox.
" Max Rajput, brother of Shakuni The Terrifying, the master human warrior who has joined the vampire camp…..
I know all about you " Ferox said as he tilted his head and tried to push Max backwards as he increased the strength of his attack.
" I don't know you, and I don't give a fuck about you " the clone replied coldly as he did not give Ferox the satisfaction he desired from him validating his identity.
" Ha- you will get to know me when I chop your head off-
But before I do that, I just wanna ask you as to why a talented warrior like you doesn't join the True Elites, the strongest human organisation to exist within your faction and fights with a bloody vampire? " Ferox asked as he could not understand where Max's pride was as a human?
Being a part of sovereign Kane's camp he was extremely proud of his identity as a human warrior, which was precisely why he considered Max to be his main opponent and Ravan to be his secondary opponent.
He wanted to be labelled the strongest human fighter and prove everyone that he could be the next human sovereign.
The clone only chuckled at this question as he said " I follow Lord Ravan because he makes camps of fools like you go BOOM "
At that moment Ferox's gaze turned from that of confidence to that of horror. In his haste to engage Max he had completely forgotten about Ravan and by the time he realised his mistake and looked towards his camp where the soldiers were still getting ready a devastating explosion claimed them all.
[ World Ember ]
While the clone kept Ferox busy and Sebastian raised the dead, Max himself prepared to unleash his strongest move right from the get-go.
He wanted to deal maximum damage while the troops were still concentrated to one spot and the effects spoke for itself.
The ground began turning red as if it was made of red hot iron before turning into an inferno of flames that burnt everything within its radius to ash.
120-150 thousand soldiers were killed in an instant without ever having the chance of even joining the battle as Max single handedly wiped out 80% of Ferox's forces before the actual fight even began.
Naturally using the Agni-Astra's powers so early into the fight had its own disadvantages that made him fatigued which was not the best condition for him to be in to fight Ferox, but he casually sat on the ground sipping blood and potions as he waited for his strength to recover before joining the battle against Ferox as he knew that the clone would be able to handle the enemy god alone at least for a few minutes.
Devastated, Ferox turned towards the clone and cursed out loud.
The enemy had ruined his calculations and he was extremely pissed now.
" You sneaky bastards, you will pay for this with your lives! " He threatened as he pushed the clone back and began a mad rally of sword strikes.
