Chapter 158 Combined Attacks
The incubus looked at the ceiling and walls, searching for wires and scratches. "How did this man build this in a short time." He was both amazed and scared by the sheer amount of Jack laid across the brothel.
In that instant that the incubus focused on the traps. A drop of blood fell from Jack\'s nose as the veins on his neck and arms bulged. His eyes opened bloodshot and he stood like a ghost.
Thud! The incubus felt a sharp pain in his back, he turned around to find Jack had stabbed him and is holding onto his wings.
"Haha!" Jack laughed like a madman, "Damn! I should have replaced it."
The incubus noticed that one of Jack\'s teeth is bleeding. "A poison tooth? No, you have something to wake you up in case you got knocked."
"Yeah!" Jack pulled the knife from the incubus\'s back and stabbed him again, "It took a solid minute it seems. I should have woken immediately!"
KA-DON! Arad flashed toward the incubus with Abel. CRACKLE!
The incubus wrapped his tail around Jack\'s neck and pulled him away. BAM! BAM! In a single duck, he dodged Arad and Abel. "In a single day, four people resisted my magic. How annoying!"
"Jack are okay?" Abel shouted seeing Jack bleeding, "How are you awake?"
"Shock poison. I had some implanted in my tooth two years ago to wake me up in case I lost consciousness. I did it after I got knocked with a single punch in a fight." Jack spoke, he wasn\'t right in his mind. The poison seems to make him more agitated and alert yet almost spazzing. He can move, hear words and reply, but his hands are shaking.
Getting knocked out in a fight means death, and this poison is to give him a chance to run away. "You can\'t fight in that state," Abel shouted.
"No! I can fight! Poison doesn\'t work on me!" Jack laughed, even though he bled from his ears and eyes. He threw his dagger on the ground, snapping a hidden string.
CRACK! One of the wooden planks beneath the incubus\'s feet shattered, surprising him. "What?"
BAM! Arad lept forward, swinging a punch at the incubus\'s face. KA-DON! As he dodged, a burst of flames gushed from Arad\'s fist.
The incubus lept back. Arad immediately opened his palm. [Fire bolt] [Fire bolt] [Fire bolt] [Fire bolt] [Fire bolt] [Fire bolt] Sending a barrage of fire.
CLANG! CLANG! The incubus cut the spells with his claws. CRACKLE! Abel lunged forward with lightning, swinging his two swords at the incubus\'s neck. "ARAD! Don\'t use too much fire! You will burn the place!" CLAP! Thunder exploded from Abel\'s strike as the incubus dodged.
"I will kick him outside!" Arad got ready to force the incubus out. "I don\'t have traps outside!" Jack rushed to the nearby door. From behind it, he pulled a small bag.
"Take this!" He threw a small ball at the incubus.
The incubus looked at the ball approaching. "A bomb?" He lept back to dodge. But the ball bounced off a string and landed between the incubus\'s legs. BOM! It exploded into a red mist.
The incubus started coughing, his eyes burning and his skin turned red. "Hot pepper?" He gasped.
"A fine powder got it for cheap." Jack threw two clothes to Arad and Abel, "Deal with the eyes." The clothes were so they can breathe.
Abel covered his mouth in a swift move while Arad handed his to Sara on his back. "Keep your eyes closed," He said.
"You\'re the one fighting!" Sara gasped but Arad smiled, "That thing won\'t bother me. I hope."
[I\'m telling you. You will be fine.]
"Heh?" Sara gasped. She saw two nictitating membranes covering Arad\'s eyes. Protecting them as he stopped breathing. She could hear his heart beat faster and faster like a drum from his back. The skin of his neck felt rough to the touch. Reminding her of the calluses skin of her mother\'s cracked heel.
Sara knew she wasn\'t on a human\'s back. But what is this man, why is she feel both afraid and safe to be on his back? "Hold tight," Arad growled from his muffled breath.
^Yeah. The acceleration.^ Sara remembered why she was afraid. He didn\'t know how to move with...BAM! Her head bounced back and forth, smacking into the back of Arad\'s head and causing her nose to bleed. Arad had lept forward in an instant, punching at the incubus.
Abel wanted to shout at his sister to get from Arad\'s back, but he didn\'t. He knew that her mere existence on Arad\'s back was the only reason the incubus isn\'t trying to knock him again. The moment she gets away, he will knock him.
CRACKLE! CLAP! Abel rushed forward with another [Chain lightning step]. He chased the incubus across Jack\'s traps.
BAM! Arad lunged back in, swinging a kick at the incubus.
Abel started sweating. He wasn\'t tired, but his sister was. She\'s bleeding from her ears. She isn\'t a fighter, her organs are bouncing inside of her each time Arad lunged. She keeps smacking her face on his head. She won\'t last long on his back.
"Abel! We\'re taking the fight outside!" Arad shouted, "I can fight alone there!"
"The bastard is regenerating! We can\'t damage him fast enough here anyway!" Jack shouted, throwing a knife at the incubus.
Abel nodded. [Thunder step]
With a well-placed chest stab from Abel, and a dagger from Jack. Arad managed to kick the incubus out of the window.
As the incubus\'s body broke the window and flew outside, he hit a few strings. BOOM! The ground beneath him exploded with flames, setting him ablaze.
The Incubus flapped his wings. Escaping would be easy now, he only need to take to the sky.
