At that moment, Barther took advantage of Smiley's attack opening and swung a punch at her. Being quick-witted, Smiley released freezing cold energy just as Barther got close.
Although Barther managed to shatter the ice, it gave Smiley the chance to retreat.
Suddenly, a scorching beam shot toward Smiley at incredible speed, leaving her no time to react.
However, just as the fiery pillar twisted in mid-air, a powerful gust of wind blew Smiley aside, saving her from the attack.
Chuck had intervened and rescued Smiley. The two of them exchanged nods, understanding each other's intent.
Smiley remembered Marcus' instructions when he entrusted her with the braceletβto look for the Calhouns' second son, Chuck. Though protection was not guaranteed, at least the two could form a temporary alliance.
Recognizing Chuck as her savior, Smiley felt confident that with such a strong ally by her side, she could give it her all.
She planted her staff firmly into the ground, releasing cold energy that instantly enveloped the staff in ice.
"Time to taste my popsicle!" she declared. Using Chuck's wind to boost her speed, Smiley dashed toward Clayton, aiming to defeat him first as his abilities were most effective at range.
Swinging her ice-coated staff with wide, sweeping motions, Smiley capitalized on the rainy weather that weakened Clayton's flames.
Clearly at a disadvantage, Clayton could only retreat under Smiley's relentless assault. Just then, Barther appeared behind Smiley, attempting a surprise attack from the rear.
However, Chuck had anticipated this, and he was ready. He rushed to Barther's side and threw a punch that ripped through the air with immense force.
Barther quickly put up his guard. Yet with the wind's momentum behind him, Chuck's punch still managed to strike Barther's abdomen with tremendous speed.
Realizing the seriousness of the situation, Barther's demeanor shifted. Suddenly, a powerful burst of true energy erupted from within him.
Despite Barther's immense strength, even he struggled to break through the mist's trickery. Frustrated, he yelled to Clayton, "What are you waiting for? Get rid of him!"
Clayton gathered his energy and began to dispel the fog. Within the swirling mist, Barther could only make out two figures darting back and forth.
He realized that Chuck and Clayton were deliberately wearing him down, forcing him to make a decision.
"Oh, so you like hiding? Fine! I won't hold back anymore!" Barther roared as he concentrated a massive amount of true energy into his hands.
With a powerful leap, he launched himself into the air, unleashing a barrage of true energy blasts aimed at the fog below.
Barther's punches tore through the mist, dispersing it instantly. Nevertheless, his assault did not stop there.
