Excerpt: Max, Molly, Codaz, Henry, Aether, Fingolfin, Ben, and Hunter vs Blogoth

A gigantic smoking crater was all that was left of the Tumbletop Castle. On one side of the crater stood Max, Molly, Fingolfin, Codaz, Henry, Hunter, Ben, and Aether. On the other side stood Blogoth.

"12,850... 16,750... 24,500... 45,100..." Blogoth spoke slowly, calculating each of their power levels. "Pathetic."

At that moment, Max unleashed his sword and jumped straight at Blogoth, swinging the blade across his neck. There was a deafening cracking sound, and Max crashed to the ground, his sword split into hundreds of pieces.

"Again..." Blogoth said, barely turning his head towards Max. "Pathetic." He raised his hand and all the land behind him exploded. The pressure wave released slammed into the remaining warriors, and they were thrown back.

Blogoth was suddenly assaulted by a flurry of energy bombs that hit him at an incredibly fast rate. In the same second however, the same energy balls flew back at the caster, and bombed Fingolfin's body so well that he was instantly knocked out. His body sailed right off the edge of the floating island. Thankfully, it was caught by Ben's magic before it could hit the ground.

"Fuck..." Ben cursed. "This guy..."

"Yeah," Hunter agreed. "Let's try an all-out assault!"

And with that, a rain of energy, ice, fire, and slices fell upon Blogoth, who had not moved at all.

There was a gigantic roar, and the rest of the island exploded. Everyone fell but Blogoth, who remained hovering calmly in the air.

They were caught, however, by Ben, who cast a spell at the last second.

"Ben..." Max asked. "His power level-"

"55,000," Ben responded. "And growing... he's absorbing the magic around him."

"Codaz. Molly," Max turned. "We'll distract him. You two go from behind and give him all you've got."

Codaz and Molly nodded. Max turned and unleashed an enormous energy storm.

A fraction of a second later, Max's upper body was sliced in three. With a whir, the body reformed.
