“Their back.”The two men ended their conversation when they noticed the additional people heading towards them.From afar they were sure it was the sergeant, seeing his flames jumping from one building to another.“That was fast.”Harold states, furrowing upon checking his watch. It had only been about ten minutes since they left, and they were already returning there.“And they seem to have brought some stow aways.”Chris’s gaze narrowed in on them.His face creasing the moment he took notice of the people following the man. It caught his attention, as the individuals were blinking from one location to the next. An ability which he was certain was limited to a few in the gang.Both men heaved a sigh the minute the group appeared before them. They ended up pressing a finger to their temples, suddenly having that pounding sensation in their heads.“Sir Chris, we’ve got the soldiers to surrender, and we also found these three posing as evacuees.”Raynald’s face was dark, sterns while t
About several thousand of the golems surrounded the base, facing both in and out of the place. Beast scattered across the city in search of any remaining civilians, all the while patrolling.They continued on with the evacuation, making sure that every person got accounted as they entered the sanctum.The only thing that remained a struggle to them was finding the infernal machine. As neither the power users, nor his summons, could locate where it was.They’d been searching the place for hours, having discovered several secret hideouts, but not a single room contained any useful information.“Matriarch, I think you ought to get down here and take a look at what we found.”Finny’s voice sounded on their receiver, causing both of them to frown. The two have not yet come up, which could only mean that the place underneath that base was deep.“Tell Raynald we’re heading down. He’s in charge now. And have Selena assist him.”He did not waste any minutes, calling forth some of the reserve g
They filled the place with every fighter that they had, as the area had limited space. Not to mention it was underground.Huge armored knights blocked the entrance, while shielded once surrounded the large rectangular screen that was used as a teleporter.As Chris continued to etch his runes, carefully lacing each of it with his energy, while making certain that he does not lose the traces that he was connecting it with.While he was doing this, the others rallied up each of their warriors, setting up their own kind of formation.“Make sure we have enough melee golems and ready the escape routes, just in case.”Harold continued to order, as there were still areas that he could fit fighters and beasts alike.He’d wanted to be certain that they would not be outnumbered, considering that they couldn’t get their artillery’s inside. Also, the giants which they were supposed to use against the double S class could not go underground.“What’s going on?”Raynald frowned when he arrived down t
Roots shot out from the ground, closing in the exits. It also blocked the gateway, but was instantly chewed out by the enemy.The bunker shook, and the ceiling was breaking as golems and monsters clashed, together with power users who were brave enough to take part in the fight.Swarms rush to get inside in droves. Though their inanimate soldiers could hold them off, plenty of them were slipping from the defensive formation.“Harold, Finny, seal this place!”Chris orders as more of the insectoids were coming entering the portal that they opened.Both men followed.Finny’s shadow contained the mist, making sure that it stayed in one area. While Harold’s ability encased them inside his pocket dimension, to avoid anything from escaping.Being of a single mind, the monsters released a deafening screech, signaling the others to gather.Their heads raised, antennas up. Their appendages began feeling the surroundings, getting a good sense of the energy there.“Marco, protect those two! Rayna
Chris picked up his pace, hurrying to get out of the bunker. Behind him are the others, following his lead, leaving the wounded with Finny’s second in command.All four men threw each other questioning glances, seeing how he moved with such haste. Not bothering to speak to them.“What’s the plan now, sir?”Marco broke the silence, unable to hold on to his tongue.His curiosity was eating through him, irritated that he can’t understand what’s going through the minds of his companions.“Nothing’s change. I’m taking this up to the surface. We need to get back there as soon as possible.”Chris mutters behind gritted teeth.Inside his mask, a few tears had escaped his eyes, still being gnawed by the guilt of his judgment a while ago.He takes in another deep breath, forcing his chest to loosen up, because he can feel it tightening each time he remembers his mistake.“Aren’t we being a bit too hasty about this?”Finny states, not able to accept that decision, especially since none of them e
Flames, flashes of light, and debris mixed into the mist. There was barely nothing to see there because of it.Screams of terror, despair, and anger filled the air, along with the explosions and shots now and then.Deep within the middle of it all, Oliver was pulling his father to the safety of a nearby mound that he saw. Away from all the beams, bullets, and other stuff that were flying around.“Come on, dad.”He urges, as his old man could no longer move, groaning with each motion because of the wound on his legs.They froze in place, hearing a loud clicking sound behind. Instinctively, he let out a shield, blocking a claw in the nick of time.He winced, receiving the brunt and weight of the force, his bones cracking, forcing him to bend his knee to weaken its pressure.Huge mandibles began munching on his defense, attacking to break through it, while its scythe claws pulled at him. All he could do was tug at it, drawing its attention to hide his father from those large, dark, insec
Oliver’s heart raced, each time someone turns his way, his blood rushing as he continued moving in the mist's guise. His every motion stayed silent, quick, and fluid.He pauses when he reaches the summit, as the clearing no longer provided any kind of protection. It was where the opening yet did not have any area to hide.He takes a few huffs of breath, shutting his eyes to muster his courage, readying himself for what he is about to do.Once done, he did not hesitate to take a step forward, having put all his mind into it. In seconds, he dashes about five meters into the clearing, but his momentum was not enough to reach the gap.“It’s the sniffer!”One soldier got a glimpse of him, gaining the attention of the others. All those that were in reserve promptly rush to the site.But he had already broken through the force field, slamming his shield right into it without a problem.He uses the sudden pause as a leverage to shift his movement, turning to his side to head towards the pyram
The force that Oliver released blasted away all five mercenaries.The others caught the effects of his sudden surge, because of the wind blowing from him from the pressure.The double S class, Carl, who grinned lasciviously while looking down on the events as it unfolded, also mesmerized by the dazzling display.Oliver’s armor completely changed. It now glistened with a blinding white light, the design on each piece that he wore became more intricate.“What did he do?”Nikolai, the serpentine user, was gritting his teeth, trying to keep himself steady.The pressure being thrown at them made it difficult to move. It’s weight pushing them down to the ground.When everything settled, they all sensed an impending gap in their levels, just by looking at the youth.Oliver can feel the power surging through every vein in his body, increasing all his senses.It was as if it turned him invincible at the moment, having an overflowing amount of energy, along with becoming so light on his feet.W
