Chapter 1110: Levium (27)



For a moment, it seemed as if time stood still. The building ended up crashing to the ground, and a tremendous rumble resounded into the city.

<There is now way he has mana left at this point.>

Erik panted heavily, the effort of avoiding that thing having drained a significant portion of his mana reserves. He couldn't afford to show weakness.

Levium, for his part, looked impressed. "Well done, Erik, but I must say... I thought you were stronger."

"Ah... Yes... Excuse me if I don't have that massive cheat power like you!"

"Ah! Right, I was lucky to have been born with this. I thought you would have gotten something as powerful as this."

It wasn't that Erik's powers were not strong; it was just that they couldn't reach that level of destruction.

His fire power was strong, but fire couldn't vaporize things in an instant. The wind blades could be compressed to incredible levels and cut through almost anything. Almost anything wasn't everything.

Besides, if Uncle Benjamin threw thousands upon thousands of pieces of debris between him and the blades, he could dissipate the strength behind them to the point they were no longer a threat to him.

His ice powers followed a similar logic. Only his lightning lord brain crystal power could do something against Levium, at least in theory. The problem was that with all those metals in the sky, Levium could basically create a Faraday cage.

Still, he wanted to try. Erik gathered lightning in his hands. The air crackled with electricity; The released the built-up charge.

Levium created a cocoon of debris around him before Erik was even done. The lightning struck with the force of a bomb.

The makeshift shield exploded outward, sending Levium tumbling through the air. For a moment, it looked like Erik had gained the upper hand.

<Is he stupid?>

Levium recovered quickly, halting his fall with his telekinesis. His clothes were singed, and there was a new wariness in his eyes as he looked at the young man.

"You've forced my hand, Erik," he said, his voice low and dangerous. "No more holding back."

"Yeah... No more playing around." Erik smirked. Levium must have used a ton of mana, but Erik just got a new level, and with it, his reserves had been replenished.

There was a power Erik hadn't used yet. <With that parallel will of his, I don't know how much it will work. I might just try...>

Immediately, he turned invisible.

Uncle Benjamin was visibly shocked by Erik's disappearance. He quickly surrounded himself with a rotating shield of debris. Even though he couldn't see Erik, he could at least force him to just attack from a distance. If that happened, he'd be able to spot the incoming attack.

The debris from the destroyed skyscraper rose into the air, swirling around him in a deadly vortex. In truth, it wasn't just debris-the very air itself seemed to bend to his will. The rotation was so strong as to affect the surrounding wind.

Erik braced himself, knowing that the real battle was only just beginning.

He flew at top speed, producing countless ice shards, wind blades, and many kinds of fireballs.

All eyes turned skyward, soldiers on both sides momentarily forgetting their own fights as they saw the mesmerizing yet harrowing display of power above.

The fate of the war, perhaps of the world itself, would be decided here and now.

Then a loud clapping sound reverberated. Honestly, it looked like a shot, but no one was able to pinpoint from where it came.

Just when it seemed the fight might go on forever, something changed.

In that split second, before the shield truly surrounded him and reached the right rotating speed, something struck Uncle Benjamin. The debris still in the sky plunged below. Among them was a corpse.

Dust arose.

Erik turned his invisibility off. "What the fuck?" Below, he could see Uncle Benjamin's body, an enormous hole in his chest.

"Who? How?"

The crack of the rifle was lost in the chaos of battle. Even Erik didn't recognize it. But its effect was unmistakable. Uncle Benjamin was dead.

"Like that?"

Erik turned to look around, then he saw a glint a kilometer from his position. He would have flown there if it wasn't for his clones arriving on the battlefield.

Few, of course, but enough for them to sweep this area clean of blackguards.

<Master.>

<Who killed Levium?>

<It wasn't us, master...>

<Then who?> Erik couldn't believe it. He barely fought toe to toe against him, and yet someone had been not only smart but skilled enough to go through the shield using the gaps Levium created to see around, while these were constantly moving?

<Well... We knew that Mira, Amber, and Emily were around here. So, it must have been Emily... >The clone said.

That shocked the young man... He had always known Emily was skilled with a sniper rifle. But these... These were godly skills.

<Emily?>

Regardless, now that the man was dead, the blackguards lost their commander. Of course,

they would soon regroup.

The same thing could be said for his clones.

<Kill them all... I need all this mana. Something tells me Levium is just the tip of the iceberg...

If a Vindicator had been able to pose this much of a problem to him, if just one man had been able to neutralize all his advantages, he couldn't fathom what would happen if he found himself against multiple ones.

He needed mana. Those would come only from levels. However, there was something else he needed, something much more important than mana. He needed a power that could match

<And I have a great idea of what kind of power to get...>

Erik looked at Uncle Benjamin on the ground below.

Erik then saw Emily, Mira, and Amber making their way toward him.

He took his communication device. "Stay there. This is not over yet..."
