But, just when it had expanded to a radius of ten meters, the flowers began to wilt as their moisture was absorbed. 

The one who absorbed it was a Variant sorcerer, collecting all the moisture into a sphere that revolved around him.

And at the same time, the warrior protecting him swung his hammer, smacking the ground, causing it to crack and form a large crater. 

The attack snapped the network created by the flowers as their moisture was absorbed, rendering them useless immediately. 

As soon as this happened, a Variant jumped from the second story of a nearby building, wielding his spear.

He plunged it into the ground, eliciting a scream from it. The source of the scream was the lady controlling the flowers. 

The spear had pierced her stomach as she coughed out blood. But, the spear-wielding warrior didn't continue with his attack to claim her life. 

Instead, he remained still, shocked, sporting an expression of fear as he looked at the blood of the lady that had spilled on his clothes.

The blood wasn't just the result of his attack but was also something she had used as a chance to target him. He had been careless. 

As the thought hit him, two petals bloomed from his eyes as he dropped dead on the ground, immediately causing a large flower to bloom in the area. 

But, even though she had won the exchange, the lady wasn't well off either. She barely managed to turn her head and looked at the gaping wound in her stomach, able to see the other side. 

An entire part of her spinal cord had been eradicated, incapacitating her. No matter what she tried, her legs failed to move. All she could do was use her abilities to engage with her foes. 

The entire battlefield was becoming chaotic as many S-Class abilities were being used in what seemed like a frightening war. 

Situated around the center of the town were the most congested buildings. And, the battle here was the most intense. 

It wasn't just due to the number of people fighting in the place but was also due to the powerful attacks that had been exchanged. 

An APF group of five that was fully composed of metal based ability users, sorcerers and warlocks included, went around, spamming a hail of attacks after their foes. 

It seemed like they had one Warlock that was able to boost everyone's strength for a short duration.

So, with a boosted strength, they were able to attack with more strength. And among them, the strongest of the group unleashed what seemed to be metal blades shaped like a double crescent. 

The two crescents remained close to one another but weren't actually touching. And this caused each double crescent to emit a whistling tune as it flew around. 

It was this whistling tune that caused the situation to become even more chaotic. 

It disturbed the focus of both allies and enemies alike, causing them to attack with less concentration than normal. Due to this, all sorts of attacks flew every which way. 

The whistling sounds continued as the APF member controlled all the double crescents he had unleashed, creating a storm as the buildings were shredded. 

The dust cloud further worsened the situation as no matter what they did; it failed to disappear. 

As the double crescents flew around, sparks flashed across them from time to time, hurting the Variants that failed to dodge them.

Among the APF team, there was a man who seemed on the older side. He had been unmoving from the start.

He was simply hiding behind the double crescent wielder, observing the situation. He was only a warrior, a close combat unit that was at a slight disadvantage as his enemies were in hiding and only attacked from range. 

He seemed to be waiting for his opportunity to attack.

The attack of the double crescent continued. The moment it exited the dust cloud, the double crescents split up into a crescent each and unnaturally flew into the dust cloud, forming even greater erratic paths. 

For the next couple of seconds, there was silence before numerous screams resounded. 

A dozen Variant Uprising members had either been wounded or killed. 

"Heh, I can always count on you to make a surprise attack." The Warrior said to the man who wielded the double crescents while smirking. 

He gazed at his teammate nearby. It was a lady that had been accumulating power all along, making something seep into the ground nonstop. She had been at it for a minute now. 

And the moment she heard the screams from a dozen Variants, she activated her ability, instantly slumping to the ground weakly. 

But, she was content as her ability had taken effect.

Instantly, numerous metal spikes shot out from the ground, impaling countless injured Variants. 

Her kill count was in the couple dozen due to the extravagant attack as an entire fifty meter surrounding of her had been filled by the metal spikes. 

"Now, this is what I call the perfect battlefield." The man wielding the double crescents smirked as he sent out around a hundred more of them flying. 

And this time, the double crescents hit the metal spikes along their way, further randomizing their movements as they traveled throughout the field of metal spikes which seemed like a maze.

This made it all the more difficult to defend against them as the Variants had to shield them on all sides, preventing them from launching an attack of their own. This placed them in a passive situation. 

The double crescents became the nightmare of the battlefield as they reaped lives one after another. The final member of their group was akin to a machine gun as he killed Variant Uprising members everywhere madly. 

He was also one of the strongest Variant in the APF after Riali and Gensi. He was one of the core members and a frightening Warlock. 

The APF teamwork was creating a miracle as many Variant Uprising members kept dying. 

Unfortunately, their victory didn't seem to be long lasting as all the metal spikes began to soften, losing their structural integrity

It felt as if their time was accelerated as the wear and tear they would experience in a couple of centuries happened in a matter of seconds, causing them to crumble to the ground soon after.

It was the ability of an Uprising Warlock who was a part of Raia's team. 

One of his abilities was similar to Lucifer's decay, but it only worked on metal, unlike Lucifer's ability which worked on everything. 

However, it also had an advantage as it was a large-scale ability, unlike Lucifer's limited ability.
