Ta ta ta …
Ovenn hurriedly escaped. He was the last doppelganger on the surface, and the pursuers of Dark-star followed closely behind him. The person chasing him was called Sherman, the vice-captain of Fausthod's team, a Grade B Super. He had attacked him not long ago, and Ovenn was running for his life.
Before this, he had already sensed that Dark-star was about to make a move, so he had informed Nagojin and the others to request for backup. However, the backup had not arrived yet, and Ovenn was secretly anxious.
Bang!
A beam of light as thick as a water bucket pierced through the wall and struck Alvin's body. A magic shield with ripples appeared and blocked most of the damage. The next moment, the magic shield shattered, and Alvin was knocked down by the shockwave. He rolled several dozen meters away.
Not far behind him, a short and muscular man wearing aiming goggles slowly walked over. He was wearing a light gray mechanical combat suit, and he was holding a huge gun that was disproportionate to his body. The structure of the gun was complicated, and the caliber was thick. Other than the main cannon, there were also many secondary cannons. It was clearly a multi-purpose gun.
This man was Sherman. It was said that he had some dwarf blood and was a Cannon Master.
"I only have three defensive shield emblems left, so I won't be able to run far. If the reinforcements don't arrive soon, I'll be finished. The people of DarkStar definitely won't show any mercy to me …" Alvin's expression was grave, and he knew that the situation was bad.
Sherman was expressionless. He raised his gun and aimed at Ovenn, who was slowly getting up. "Don't move, unless you think your legs are too long."
Before he finished, the sound of falling from the sky suddenly sounded. Looking up, he saw a guy wearing a knight's battle suit nimbly flying between the gaps between the buildings. The white cape on his shoulders fluttered in the wind, and he quickly approached Sherman from the sky. He was holding a Battleship Slicing Blade that was a few meters long. It was Herlous, who had rushed over to help.
Sherman raised his gun and fired without hesitation.
Bang, bang, bang —
Thick beams of light came straight at him. Herlous' eyes were sharp, and he slashed out with his blade. Before the beams could reach him, they turned into bright explosions, and there was a continuous roar. He passed through the hot cannon fire, and the moment he was about to land, Herlous slashed at Sherman's head fiercely. However, Sherman had already started dodging a second ago.
Boom!
The blade slashed the ground, creating a gully along the direction of the slash. Silver-white flames erupted from the gully like magma, and the gully continued to extend for dozens of meters.
"Reinforcement?" Sherman was blown away by the shockwave. He squatted on the ground and stared at Herlous. He licked his lips and tasted a sweet, fishy taste. He was instantly filled with murderous intent.
At this time, many of the recruited mercenaries appeared and protected Ovenn. Ovenn heaved a sigh of relief.
[Someone is finally here …]
Hundreds of mercenaries were glaring at him, but Sherman did not panic. He pointed at Herlous, who had made him suffer a small loss, and shot himself in the head with a grin on his face. This action meant that he had his eyes on Herlous.
The next moment, the people from Dark-star arrived at the same time. There were about the same number of people, and there were even more elites. Anur walked out from the crowd, looked around, and said with a deep voice, "People from Godora, don't hide at the side. You can't escape my senses."
Hearing that, Nagojin walked out. The two Grade A Supers were at each other's throats. With a serious expression, he said with a deep voice, "Where's the other person?"
Anur did not reply. He glanced around and counted the number of mercenaries, upon which he frowned. Most of the mercenaries that he had recruited were here, and there should be no one in the enemy's base. He knew that Ember would be empty-handed. However, it did not matter as Ember would not take long to return. If he attacked from the front and back, he would be able to cut off the enemy's path of retreat.
They were all enemies, and neither side had any thoughts about their plans. They did not say anything and looked at each other in the eyes. As if a taut string had been cut, the battle began.
The battle erupted!
Si la!
Anur's body expanded and turned into a strange looking monster in the blink of an eye. He was four to five meters tall, had a triangular flat head, and a streamlined beast body. His skin was rough and filled with small holes. He was using these to control the wind pressure. He had a long tail behind him, and his front and back limbs turned into thick and powerful claws. On his back were eight weird bone limbs that looked a little like wings, but they were special organs that extended out from his ribs like hollow jets. They allowed the high-pressure air to circulate between his internal organs and the outside world, allowing him to fly and balance the internal and external pressure to protect his body at high speed.
This form was what Anur looked like after his transformation. His nickname was' Wind Demon ', and he had the special ability to control the air.
Bang!
Anur's eight jets spewed out high-pressure air at the same time, and he suddenly accelerated. He crossed a few hundred meters in a flash and collided with Nagojin.
With him as the cone, there were invisible wind pressure cannons on both sides of his body. The air turned into shockwaves and swept across.
Rumble —
As the wind pressure cannons passed by, the ground cracked, and the windows of the buildings on both sides of the street shattered. The steel structures bent, and everyone present found it difficult to breathe as if they were in a storm.
Nagojin broke through the wind curtain and punched Anur's body. The golden flames and the invisible wind pressure created a shockwave, and both of them were sent flying. A circle of gray dust appeared at the point of impact, and a circular crater with a diameter of a few meters appeared on the ground.
When he raised his head again, Anur's body had disappeared, and only the wind was still blowing. Nagojin had seen this ability before. The small holes on Anur's body controlled the air to cover his entire body, forming a shield and absorbing light in a certain way so that his body would no longer reflect light. Thus, others could not see Anur's body.
The two Calamity Grade Supers had to restrain each other, or the others fighting on the side would be in danger. Nagojin was prepared. Just one Anur was enough to force him to go all out. If there was another person, he would definitely lose.
"Black Star said that the enemy will most likely split into two groups. There should be one Calamity Grade Supers who will rely on his own strength to attack our base alone. He chose to stay behind and restrain the enemy. Only by holding back one Calamity Grade Supers will we have a chance to save people.
However, he's only a Grade B Super, and a Calamity Grade Supers are too dangerous for him. Can he really do it? "
Nagojin was secretly worried.
…
At the same time, in another location.
Ashes slowly stepped into the mercenary stronghold. He was prepared to kill everyone, but it was pitch black inside, and there seemed to be no one in sight.
"Everyone gave up on the stronghold and moved together with Godora? Looks like I made a wasted trip. Let's go and meet up with Anur. "
Ashes was expressionless. Just as he was about to turn around and leave, the lights suddenly turned on, and the stronghold's broadcast suddenly sounded.
"Don't go. I've been waiting for you for a long time."
Ashes narrowed his eyes.
This voice is so familiar …
He raised his head and looked at the surveillance camera in the corner.
"Black Star?"
"Ashes, this is the nickname Dark-star gave you. You don't have a real name. When you were very young, you were accepted by Dark-star. They saw your talent and used you as a weapon, undergoing all kinds of harsh training. You're not from Godora, but you were instilled with hatred that did not belong to you. Dark-star trained you to be loyal, but in their eyes, you're just a useful tool. Your beliefs are meaningless because they are not your true thoughts."
Han Xiao continued to speak. His tone was calm, but his words were harsh. Because of the information from his previous life, he understood Ashes's life. He had killed countless people and was very hateful. But even hateful people had their pitiful sides.
If he had lived a different life, if he had not been adopted by DarkStar and had grown up normally, perhaps he would not have become the infamous Ember in the future. Perhaps he would have his own name. Perhaps he would not have given up everything only to be treated as an abandoned child whose value had been drained.
Ashes subconsciously clenched his fists and then released them. He had no intention of talking back. He said indifferently, "The other mercenaries have all left. Why are you the only one who stayed?"
"Of course I'm waiting for you."
Click …
A metal door opened, and Han Xiao walked out. His eyes met with Ashes.
Meeting again after a short separation, their eyes were exceptionally red.
Dark-star had sent out two Calamity Grade Supers, and Han Xiao guessed that the other party would definitely want to maximize their advantage. Thus, he sent one of them to act alone. From a strategic perspective, it would be more flexible. Thankfully, his guess was correct. Indeed, there was one Calamity Grade Supers who relied on their individual strength to split up.
During the recruitment, Han Xiao knew that he would not be able to hide it from Dark-star. If the enemy wanted to charge into the base alone, the person who came was most likely to be Ashes. This was because his ability was most suitable for group fights. As long as a carbon-based creature was weaker than him, he would be able to kill them in an instant. Thus, Han Xiao got the majority of the mercenaries to help Nagojin. These people would only be sending themselves to their deaths if they stayed.
Only he would be able to stall Ashes. The longer he delayed, the higher the chances of Nagojin's rescue.
In terms of protracted battles, he was extremely confident.
"Wait for me?" Ashes' expression changed. "You want to stall me alone?"
"Well, I'm not alone." Han Xiao shrugged. A light flashed beside him, and Aroshia, who had turned into energy, floated beside him. Other than her, there were also a few mercenaries in another monitoring room who were focused on the screen.
This group of mercenaries was deliberately left behind by Han Xiao. Their mission was to detonate the explosives placed all over the building at the appropriate time to stall Ashes. At this moment, their palms were sweaty, and their breathing was rapid. Their nervousness was written all over their faces.
Their nervousness was understandable. After all, the enemy in the surveillance screen was a Calamity Grade Supers. To be fair, if they were in Han Xiao's position, they felt that they would not even be able to speak properly. They could not help but worry for Han Xiao. They felt that when the enemy attacked, Black Star would be in big trouble.
If Black Star died, their plan to gain connections with the Black Star Alliance would be ruined.
Ashes moved his fingers, but his Esper Ability did not sense Aroshia. He shook his head and said, "So, your trump card is this energy lifeform. Do you think you can stop me like this?"
Han Xiao played with a compressed orb and said with a smile, "The last time we fought, we still haven't decided the winner. Are you afraid?"
Ashes heard this and only felt that it was funny. He had crossed the threshold and entered the next level. He did not understand where Han Xiao's confidence came from. Did he still think that he was at the same level as before?
"You overestimate yourself." Ashes's tone turned cold. "Although you're alone, it's not bad to get rid of you. It's also a small wish of mine. When you're dead, it won't be too late for me to help."
A rustling sound was heard, as if countless particles were rubbing and colliding, but it quickly turned into a rumbling sound like a torrent. Around Ashes, countless carbon particles were like an unpredictable black cloud, spreading wildly, almost filling half of the stronghold.
Now, Ashes's Esper Ability covered a wider range, and he could control it more freely. He could make more flexible changes. Countless carbon particles were stuck to the surface and lining of his clothes, just like a weapon he carried with him. He was not afraid of fighting in a carbon-free environment.
"This is the power of a Grade A …" Several mercenaries in the monitoring room swallowed. They only felt a pressure coming from the screen. Their legs went soft, and they almost wanted to turn around and run.
However, the next moment, they saw Han Xiao's body shake. Electric current surged in all directions, connecting to the ceiling, the ground, and every compressed orb in the corner. With him as the center, it was as if a spider web of electricity had spread out!
Ka Ka Ka!
In an instant, hundreds of machines were deployed at the same time. The scale was spectacular!
These compressed orbs had been set up long ago. Long before the battle, Han Xiao had finished setting up the field!
The entire stronghold was a trap he had set up!
