Chapter 1087: Levium (4)
It didn't take much for the enemy to arrive at the new site of battle. It was just that, this time, they were all levitating.
Erik turned to look at Levium, who was flying above the giant cloud of dust created by the building's collapse, his frame visible because of the sun relentlessly beating behind him.
"That bastard!"
Uncle Benjamin behaved as if he were a movie star.
This feeling of being better than everyone else wasn't just Uncle Benjamin's characteristic. Many of the blackguards usually felt the same sense of superiority, of omnipotence, that came with their special position within society.
It was a big part of who they were. Their great power, plus years of special treatment, made them think they were supreme beings to which the others had to bow.
Erik knew this well, as he used to pose as one of them when Frant was under siege.
He had seen how feeling superior could change good people into bullies who thought they could do no wrong.
Even those who started with good intentions often ended up thinking they were above everyone else and didn't have to follow the rules.
A massive wave of ranged attacks followed, filling the air with a barrage of different kinds of blasts of energy and various projectiles.
The sky darkened even more than it already was, especially from Erik's and the Chimaeric Demon's positions. The sheer volume of incoming fire made it look like it was about to rain. It was just that; it wasn't just water that was going to fall.
"Jump!" Erik said. There was no way they were going to survive that if they tried. The only thing they could do was get the fuck away from there.
Erik and the clone didn't waste a second. They jumped off the roof just in time. A split second later, a storm destroyed where they had been standing.
The building they were in collapsed under the heavy attack. As Erik and the clone fell, an enormous cloud of dust and broken pieces shot up around them, adding to the one that was still there, following the destruction of the first building.
This kept rising, hiding them as they fell and giving them a brief shield from the enemies chasing them.
The Chimaeric Demon didn't even need to get an order, because the first thing he did was shapeshift.
Its body grew longer and sprouted huge, feathered wings, deadly talons, and a huge beak. In just a moment, it turned into a Zephyrwing.
Erik landed on the clone's back. He crouched low, gripping the creature's feathers as they soared away from the devastation behind them.
"Nice save," Erik said, patting the clone's neck.
The problem was that Uncle Benjamin wasn't staying idle. More and more soldiers soared through the sky, tossed around like dolls by Levium, that really looked like a god now. The display of power he was showing was simply heaven-defying, because the sky was not only obscured by the dust cloud resulting from the collapses, but even by the soldiers the man was using to chase after Erik.
Erik didn't have a power like that, though, one that could get some extra benefits by using it with parallel will. Most of Erik's powers, at that time, didn't require a constant concentration or usage of mana to control multiple things at the same time.
It was different for telekinesis.
Erik had mixed feelings about getting Levium's powers. He knew they would be very useful in fights and even in many other situations. Being able to toss buildings at an enemy was a tantalizing prospect.
attacks joined them.
The clone suddenly flew down, then changed direction. This made some of the attacks hit each other, causing an enormous explosion.
It flew between buildings, using them as shields against the attacks. The clone was fast, but if it wasn't for Hais's brain crystal power, he wouldn't have been able to do that. There were simply too many attacks, and only the investigator's brain crystal power allowed him to keep
them all under check.
Luckily, the parallel will brain crystal power Erik got from Hais allowed the clone to perceive everything in slow motion. It was able to see and react to the attacks.
Erik gritted his teeth.
Erik's grip on the Zephyrwing's feathers tightened. We will lose a lot of brothers, but there is nothing we can do. One thing is sure: without the others, even I can't win. There is no fucking way I'm going to leave that prick alive!> The Chimaeric Demon's thoughts carried a mix of reluctance and resignation. Master.> Suddenly, the Zephyrwing and its rider vanished from the sky. The pursuing soldiers stopped their advance. "Where did they go?" "They were right there!" The sky, moments ago filled with the heat of battle, now seemed empty. The soldiers hovered in place, their weapons still raised, their eyes darting in every direction. "They shapeshifted into something tiny!" Levium said. "Didn't you see it before? The guy following Erik Romano turned into a flying thaid! Don't be stupid and find them! They couldn't have just disappeared!" In the meantime, the Chimaeric Demon and Erik went their separate ways.
