"Maria, you holding up alright?" Gabriel expressed concern.
It was rather hard for Maria to take on two opponents alone.
Maria sprang up and casually examined the bloodstains on her left arm.
Her eyes glinted with determination as she said nonchalantly, "Don't worry about me, it's just a sting. I must take down that busty lady over there!"
At times, her spirit surpassed even that of most men.
A minor injury meant nothing to her.
"My apologies, according to our previous teaming, she's mine to deal with. Let me handle her!" Gabriel felt a bit awkward, and he abandoned Joseph and charged toward Victoria.
He needed to find a way to eliminate one more opponent, or this fight would become unwinnable.
Currently, it appeared that Victoria was the weakest link.
"Wanna make a run for it? You'll have to go through me first!"
Joseph, who had the upper hand, wasn't about to let Gabriel run amok.
He violently flexed his arms, causing his shirt sleeves to burst open. Each arm bore a copper ring.
"Flying Rings!"
Joseph lunged forward, releasing both copper rings.
"What the heck! He's got another trick up his sleeve!" Gabriel exclaimed, taken by surprise as he quickly dodged.
The flying rings spun through the air, following an unconventional path, not flying in a straight line. Then, they made an eerie arc for Gabriel.
"Hmm?"
In his haste, Gabriel raised both arms to block.
One of the rings was deflected by the God-Forbidden Handcuffs, but the other managed to slip through underneath and struck him forcefully in the abdomen.
This was a devastating blow, sending Gabriel tumbling backward once again.
"You're in for it now!" Joseph laughed heartily as he retracted the flying rings.
Without missing a beat, he charged forward and unleashed the rings once more.
Gabriel swiftly got back on his feet, used a nearby pillar to spring into action, and leaped with all his might.
With the added propulsion, he increased his speed and narrowly evaded the flying rings.
The rings missed their mark and collided with the pillar, creating a substantial crater.
This demonstrated the terrifying might of the flying rings.
"This guy had yet another ace up his sleeve!"
Gabriel seethed with anger, realizing he had underestimated Joseph's prowess.
With Joseph wielding the flying rings, his strength had skyrocketed to a whole new level.
In Gabriel's current restrained state, there was no way to secure victory.
He had to find a way to remove the handcuffs; otherwise, success in this battle seemed impossible.
Meanwhile, Maria, Lone Wolf, and Victoria locked in battle once more.
Maria exhibited the fierce determination.
Her Wind and Thunder Steps propelled her through Lone Wolf, and her Wind and Thunder Fists zeroed in on Victoria.
This move finally bore fruit. Her powerful punches sent Victoria flying.
However, it was a risky maneuver. She had fully exposed her back to Lone Wolf.
Seeing the opportunity, Lone Wolf couldn't let it slip away.
His two claws converged and lunged toward Maria's back.
Just as the blow was about to land, Maria twisted her body to the limit.
Her feet felt as heavy as lead, yet she spun around like a top, completely avoiding Lone Wolf's attack.
Not only did she dodge Lone Wolf's strike, but she also used her shoulder to push Lone Wolf away.
This move was named Tornado Spiral!
"Well done!" Gabriel cheered, witnessing Maria's remarkable feat. He needed to step up his game as well.
With that in mind, he charged toward Lone Wolf like a wild beast.
He leaped into the air and employed a powerful push against the ground.
Losing his balance due to Maria's prior attack, Lone Wolf could barely react when Gabriel launched his sudden attack.
Instinctively, he crossed his arms in front of his chest.
"Boom!"
Gabriel's kick was incredibly forceful, propelling Lone Wolf through the air.
Lone Wolf's body crashed forcefully into a nearby car, creating a sizable dent in its frame.
