Cynus stepped forward slightly.
Relaxed.
Unbothered.
Beside him—
Benji stayed still.
Watching carefully.
"They teamed up… two against us".
A second enemy cracked his neck.
"Hand them over."
Cynus tilted his head.
Almost bored.
"Nah. Insects like you just make the flags dirty"
Four of them get angry.
The wind moved through the trees.
Leaves rustling softly.
Then—
They charged.
Benji tightened his stance.
Cynus exhaled slowly.
The first enemy rushed him—
But in the next instant—
He was already gone.
A loud impact echoed.
The enemy's body slammed into a tree.
Before the second could react—
Cynus caught him.
A sharp crack followed.
The enemy collapsed.
Screaming.
Then—
The third one stepped in.
Fast.
Aggressive
Cynus moved—
Effortless.
He dodged casually.
A low sweep—
The enemy hit the ground.
Cynus stepped forward—
And stomped beside his head.
Not hitting.
But close enough.
Too close.
The enemy froze.
Cynus looked down at him.
Eyes cold.
"You're slow."
Fear spread instantly.
The enemy scrambled back.
Desperate.
Benji watched everything.
Every movement.
Every decision.
Cynus turned slightly.
"Your turn."
Another enemy rushed Benji.
A heavy punch came fast.
Benji stepped in—
Not back.
Closing the distance.
An elbow—
Straight to the ribs.
The opponent tried to grab him—
Too slow.
Benji shifted.
Locked his shoulder.
Controlled the movement.
A knee strike followed.
The opponent collapsed.
Benji stepped back.
Breathing steady.
No wasted motion.
The enemy looked shocked.
Cynus cracked his knuckles.
Then—
Walked forward.
Slow.
The enemy panicked.
Swung wildly.
Cynus smiles a little and take out the paper spray
The enemy was confused
Suddenly Benji notices what Cynus was going to do and just stops him and told using tools is not allowed .
Cynus just stooped in a disappointed way.
Benji was confused about Cynus personality
The enemy mistakenly makes a noise and gathers the attention of Cynus and Benji.
Benji make him unconscious with a final punch
And collect the flag he have.
4 out of 5.
"Can we now go in the center" asked by Cynus
Benji nodded
"Yes"
They moved deeper into the forest.
The environment changed.
Broken trees.
Crushed ground.
Signs of heavy battles.
A distant impact echoed.
Heavy.
Like something massive hit the ground.
Both turned.
"Final Flag area."
Benji clenched his fist.
Ahead—
The forest opened again.
A massive clearing.
Fighters everywhere.
Battles already happening.
One fighter launched another into rocks.
Chaos.
Benji's eyes moved quickly.
Analyzing.
This place decides everything.
Cynus stepped forward.
Confident.
"Stay sharp."
"Always." replied by Benji
Then—
Something changed.
A shadow.
Large.
Hidden behind the trees.
A voice echoed.
"So… you're the ones."
Cynus smiled.
Fearless.
Benji lowered his stance.
Ready.
