Chapter 865: Hunting for Shade (22)
The room vibrated, and a deafening sound shook the walls as an explosion burst forth from the center of the room.
Bright, consuming flames soared upwards, painting everything in a vivid orange glow.
The shockwave rippled through the air, sending a wave of heat across every surface.
Despite the intensity of the fire, it was contained, not reaching beyond the immediate area of its origin.
Amid the chaos, some individuals reacted swiftly, erecting barriers of shimmering energy.
They must have been scared by Shade's words, and did as instructed. If their leader was worried, so they were too.
These protective domes stood resilient against the inferno, their surfaces reflecting the fiery dance but not allowing the heat to penetrate.
The room, for a moment, became a spectacle of light and shadow, where the power of the explosion was met with equal force by those prepared to defend against it.
[MULTIPLE HUMANS KILLED: MANA ABSORBING PROCESS STARTING.]
[0%...1%....5%...30%...70%...100%]
[MANA SUCCESSFULLY ABSORBED, STARTING CONVERTING PROCEDURE.]
[3...2...1...0]
[MANA SUCCESSFULLY CONVERTED INTO EXPERIENCE. 291840 EXPERIENCE POINTS AWARDED TO THE HOST.]
[LEVEL UP!]
With those words, Erik felt a surge of energy rush through him. The biological supercomputer replenished his mana after the level up, and he found himself back at full strength.
From the outside, Rebecca and the others saw the spectacle.
The town hall illuminated the surroundings, lightening the sky with blinding light and making tall, gigantic pillars of smoke rise in the tranquil night.
"Well. That's our cue," Laria said, looking at Rebecca.
Then she picked up her communicator. "Kill them all," she said in an apathetic and cold voice.
With that, the Band of Giants members moved through the shadows and attacked the guards stationed around the city.
Many of them were going toward Erik's position, and it was the Mercenary Guild's job to prevent that from happening.
Meanwhile, June kept following the man who escaped, but more times than not, something weird happened.
Their statistics were high, and some very nasty brain crystal powers.
"I will need some help."
With that, Erik channeled a little of his mana. A monstrous figure began to materialize, its form a shimmering, semi-transparent blue that hinted at its otherworldly origins.
It slowly took the shape of a Leylarhad. For those in Erik's sight, that would have appeared like a majestic yet terrifying sight, with silvery-white fur that should have shimmered under the light.
However, its beauty was marred by the artificiality of its creation, its essence not entirely of this world, and all of that instead scared the gang leaders.
Dominating its fearsome visage were two golden tails, adding a regal yet ominous touch to
its appearance.
From the depths of its wide, snarling mouth protruded two long, almost vampiric tusks,
curving inwardly.
From its maw dripped venomous drool, each drop sizzling as it fell to the ground, hinting at the lethal nature of that drool.
The very air around the creature seemed charged with a malevolent energy, as if its presence alone was a threat to all who dared to stand against it.
But Erik wasn't done. He knew he needed a lot this time, or he wouldn't get out of that
situation unscathed.
There were simply too many powerful people in that room.
Erik channeled more mana, the instability brain crystal power activated, helping him
understand his opponents' intentions, at the same time he channeled mana through Hais'
brain crystal power.
His eyes started noticing subtle hints in the posture of his opponents, the small beads of sweat running down the heads of these ruthless murderers, and at the same time, it allowed
him to be much more attentive to his surroundings.
And last, Erik activated the Xeridon Anteris' brain crystal power.
He channeled a lot of mana into hit, much more he had even done, and his strength and speed
increased by at least 35%, but he wasn't exactly sure of the numbers.
With that, he should have been able to kill these guys.
"Well, my friend," he said to his astral wolf, "Should we wreak havoc?"
