Strongest Hammer God

Chapter 1237: A Soul Attack

The Formation Array Master looked forward in terror.

How did things turn out this way?!

How did they know that he was also a traitor?!

His Leader had told him to prepare a Remote Barrier Formation Array to protect her, in case the other Adept Immortals became traitors. In truth, the Formation Array Master would let the attack hit the Leader, but then Sebastian had saved her with his Refined Law.

No matter, he could keep acting like a loyal member until he saved his traitorous comrades from her attack, but then his former Leader attacked the enemy team instead of the traitors.

Afterwards, he finally got a chance to protect his traitorous comrades. He dumped almost all of his Energy into the Remote Barrier Formation Array, but Abyssal Depths used a feint! At most, this attack would have reduced their Energy by a slight bit.

Yet, he had already pushed almost all of his Energy into his Barrier! He had lost over 80% of his Energy to block nothing!

All three traitors were extremely low on Energy now!

Abyssal Depths' attack shot towards the Composting Team, who quickly had to react by creating another wall of defenses.

Meanwhile, Spring of Joy appeared right behind the traitorous Formation Array Master. For the first time since Team Ankylosaurus had met her, Spring of Joy launched an attack. Kyle had noticed that her aura was exceptionally powerful, and now, he could finally see why it was so powerful.

Spring of Joy didn't use her Imposing Law. Instead, she used her External Law. Immortal Fire, Lightning, Water, Wind, Darkness, and Light Energies gathered around her. She only had three Affinities, like most Immortals, but she had been an Immortal for so long that she had comprehended six out of the eight Immortal Elements. On top of that, she had fused these six into a Level Nine External Law.

Over 90% of her Energy vanished as an ethereal specter of different Energies left her hand, flying towards the Formation Array Master. When the Formation Array Master saw the specter, incomparable terror appeared in his chest.

He was almost out of Energy. Even though she was a Beginner Immortal, Spring of Joy wouldn't need to use that much Energy to destroy his Avatar. Using so much Energy was just a waste, unless...

In terror, the Formation Array Master used his External Law to create heavy defenses between him and Spring of Joy. Yet, before he even finished creating his defenses, he realized that he had just committed a fatal mistake. This was not an Imposing Law. This was an External Law.

The specter stopped in front of the defenses, moved to the side, and moved around the defenses. When launched, Imposing Laws couldn't change their trajectory by too much, but the same thing wasn't true for most External Laws.

Within an instant, the specter reached the Formation Array Master's chest.

Then, it entered.

A Soul Attack!

That was why Spring of Joy had used so much Energy! She wasn't planning on killing an Avatar. She wanted to kill all of his Avatars!

And he only had two!

If he had three, he would have a chance of defending against this Soul Attack since he would have more total Energy. Sadly, he didn't have three.

The specter burned through his Spirit, entered the Avatar Anchor, and traveled to his mirror image. His other Avatar used all of its Energy to defend, but his Infused Law was much weaker than Spring of Joy's External Law.

An instant later, the fluctuations of Energy around both of the Formation Array Master's Avatars stopped.

He was dead.

At the same time, the Composting Team defended against Abyssal Depths' kick, spending another 25% of their collective Energy. Their Leader had almost run out of Energy, which was why he couldn't contribute to this set of defenses.

The Composting Team had been forced to be passive during this entire battle. They wanted to attack, but there was just no opportunity. Their Leader had launched one attack at the beginning, but then they had been forced to defend. They needed to deal with Sebastian's attack, and when they had done that, they had to deal with the Leader of Team Wooly Sheep's attack. Now, they had to deal with Abyssal Depths' attack.

Meanwhile, the two traitorous Adept Immortals had started to retreat, flying towards the Composting Team. They were almost out of Energy, and if they remained on the front lines, they would die.

More Energy Stones around Kyle turned into pure Energy. At the same time, two illusory hammers appeared in front of the retreating traitors.

They had seen these hammers before, and they remembered what they had done to the Rock Turner Team.

"I concede!"

"I concede!"

"Shouldn't have been assholes," Kyle transmitted as two weakened versions of Karmic Calamity hit them. This time, there was no issue with using two Refined Laws at the same time. First of all, there were two of his Avatars present, and second of all, everyone believed that he was using Formation Arrays to launch these attacks.

The two Avatars were hit by Karmic Calamity, and within moments, all of their Avatars were killed.

The traitors had all been dealt with permanently.

At the same time, Spring of Joy, Abyssal Depths, and the Leader of Team Wooly Sheep charged back towards Kyle's Avatars, who were moving towards the three corpses with their Formation Arrays.

The Composting Team didn't immediately give chase. Despite being busy defending, they had still sensed everything that had happened.

At this moment, they had the Energy advantage. While none of them could launch their Imposing Laws anymore, they could still use their External Laws. Averaged out, the team still had a bit more than 50% of their Energy remaining.

Meanwhile, the Leader of Team Wooly Sheep, Abyssal Depths, Sebastian, and Spring of Joy were almost empty. Red and Blue were the only Avatars who still had a good chunk of Energy left, but they were also only at about 60% or so.

If they kept attacking, the Composting Team should win. However, there was a high chance that at least one of their Avatars would die. According to what they had heard, the two enemy teams had a considerable amount of wealth within their Soul Spaces. The gains might be worth the risk. After all, even if an Avatar died, chances were that it wouldn't be their Avatar but one belonging to one of their comrades.

Yet, what made them pause was the way the three traitors had died. All three of them had been hit by Soul Attacks. They didn't just lose an Avatar. They were just straight up dead.

Additionally, they could see Kyle summoning more materials and more Energy Stones. He was using strange Formation Arrays, which were unpredictable. Even more, everyone knew that Formation Array Masters only grew more powerful the longer a battle progressed.

However, they also couldn't just retreat. If they did, their Momenta and Karmic Luck would receive heavy hits.

Now, they didn't have any good choices left. All of them were horrible.

They should have listened to the words of the traitors when they had warned them about the power of this team.
