35- Four warriors

The next morning...

Bahaa, Elyes, and Sif gathered on the mountain hill.

Elyes asked Sif:

“Don’t you know where your brother is?”

Sif answered:

“No. I haven’t seen him since the last battle.”

No one knew where Amin had gone since his disappearance after that battle.

So Bahaa decided to put the matter aside for the time being and gather the remaining Element Users.

Among them were Yassin’s students, Adam and Noah, along with the rest of their companions.

---

Elsewhere...

Noel and Sam were sitting inside their house.

Sam opened a black portal and pulled out a manuscript.

He looked at it, and a sinister smile appeared on his face.

Noel asked:

“Is it time?”

Sam answered:

“Yes.”

Then he looked at him.

“They’re making their move.”

---

The scene returned to the mountain hill.

All the Element Users had gathered there, discussing their plan of action.

Bahaa said:

“They’ll come back any day now. They’re targeting Wail.”

Mark asked:

“What are their powers?”

Elyes answered:

“Noel uses gravity and can control it.”

Then he continued:

“As for Sam’s power, it’s strange. He could create invisible blades and shields, almost as if he controls the wind.”

Dill raised an eyebrow.

“An Air User like me? Then I’m the only one who can fight him.”

Stolen novel; please report.

Bahaa looked at him.

“Don’t get carried away. That’s only a theory.”

Then he added:

“And don’t forget that Dark is helping them with his energy.”

At that moment, Wail stepped toward them.

Elyes asked:

“Wail, we’re going to attack them before they realize what we’re planning. Do you have any suggestions?”

Wail answered coldly:

“Do whatever you want.”

He looked at them.

“I’d prefer it if you left the fighting to me.”

Mark stepped in.

“Yassin may have been your teacher, but he was our friend too, Wail.”

Then he added seriously:

“And I think you might act recklessly and make a mistake if you let your emotions control you.”

Wail looked at him.

“Don’t worry. My emotions won’t control me.”

He paused for a moment.

“But I will take my revenge.”

Then he left.

Everyone agreed to search for Noel and Sam and attack them all at the same time.

After that...

they left the mountain hill.

---

Several days passed.

But Wail’s expression never changed.

Meanwhile, everyone continued searching for Noel and Sam everywhere.

One night...

Zino was jumping across the rooftops.

Bahaa was following him so he could identify the enemies.

Suddenly...

Zino stopped.

Noel was entering one of the buildings.

Bahaa said:

“That’s him.”

At the same moment...

black portals opened throughout the area, and the Element Users emerged from them.

Mark landed from above.

“Great... So you’ve learned how to control teleportation portals.”

Bahaa answered:

“Yes!”

Then he smiled.

“Now let’s catch this bastard.”

Everyone charged at once.

Eight fighters...

against a single man.

Mark entered through the window, his arms covered in glowing stone surrounded by his brown aura.

At the same moment, the area froze under Raouf’s power.

The others entered and surrounded Noel.

But he was sitting calmly.

He raised his head, then stood up.

A sinister smile appeared on his face.

“How foolish you all are...”

Elyes was about to enter, but...

his eyes suddenly widened.

He vanished in a flash of light and returned to Bahaa’s side.

Bahaa asked:

“What...?”

At the same moment...

everyone standing before Noel collapsed to the ground.

His gravity had completely paralyzed them.

Then a seal appeared on the ground.

It began expanding little by little, spreading across the streets...

until it covered most of the city.

Bahaa opened a black portal and pulled Elyes inside.

But Elyes resisted.

“Wait! We have to save them!”

Bahaa replied:

“We can’t do anything now!”

They disappeared through the portal.

The seal began glowing green.

Noel moved toward a black portal opened by Dark.

Then...

the seal exploded.

A massive wave of green energy shot toward the sky.

It was the same energy that had appeared during the battle with Yassin.

After it disappeared...

silence fell.

Everyone was unconscious.

Sam appeared among them and looked at them with a mocking smile.

“Pathetic...”

Then he disappeared.

---

Bahaa and Elyes appeared somewhere else.

Both were tense because of what had happened.

Elyes shouted:

“How could you leave them?!”

Bahaa answered:

“We had no choice.”

Then he continued:

“It was a seal. And it’s obvious that Sam was the one who placed it.”

He fell silent for a moment.

“Do you know what he was planning? Maybe he wanted to transport us somewhere we could never return from, or blow us all up and get rid of us, leaving Wail alone.”

Elyes fell silent.

Then he realized that Bahaa might be right.

He asked:

“Speaking of Wail...”

He looked around.

“Where is he?”

Bahaa answered:

“I don’t know.”

Then he turned around.

“Let’s go to the mountain hill.”

---

Elsewhere...

Wail was inside his house.

He stood still for a moment.

Then he opened the wardrobe and put on Yassin’s torn robe, which he had kept.

He stood before the mirror for a few moments.

His expression was the same.

Nothing had changed.

Then he vanished in a flash of electricity.

---

After flying for some time...

Bahaa and Elyes reached the mountain hill and landed in front of the river.

They could not sense Wail’s energy.

Elyes said:

“Strange...”

They headed toward the cabin.

But...

the moment they approached it, Elyes froze in place.

“Impossible!!!!”

Bahaa remained stunned for a moment.

Then his shock turned into anger.

“How did you two get here?!”

Noel and Sam were standing outside the cabin.

Noel smiled.

“Are we not allowed to visit our old home anymore?”

Then Sam spoke:

“I was planning to eliminate you along with the others, but it doesn’t matter.”

His smile widened.

“Because I want to fight you, Bahaa.”

Elyes shouted:

“What did you do to them?! Answer meee!”

Sam laughed.

“Nothing.”

Then he continued:

“Just a seal that prevents the flow of energy through the body.”

He looked at Bahaa and Elyes.

“It helped us a lot when we killed your pathetic teacher... Yassin.”

Anger ignited in Elyes’s eyes, and his aura exploded.

His body transformed into his yellow Elemental Form, and his energy surged.

At the same moment...

Bahaa transformed into his purple form.

Elyes looked at him.

“Good... I see you managed to regain your strength after the training.”

Bahaa answered:

“Yes.”

Then he looked at Sam.

“Leave Sam to me... and handle Noel.”

Noel’s dark-blue aura began rising.

On the other side, invisible blades began forming around Sam as he compressed the air surrounding him.

Sinister smiles covered Noel and Sam’s faces.

Meanwhile...

anger filled the faces of Bahaa and Elyes.

The four stood facing each other.

Only one moment remained...

before the battle began.
