Chapter 304: Showdown [2]
"So cold blooded Xavier? Marcus was just eliminated." Ashtarh said as his body flashed and he hit Xavier.
Boom!
The Xavier in front of him dissolved into a phantom. He missed again!
"Cold blooded? Because of a guy I barely know? Besides, what"s the naive talk about teams? Strength is the only thing I need." Xavier"s voice sounded inside his mind.
At the same time, Ashtarh felt a burning pain. It was like his head was placed in a burner and ice at the same time.
The pain was so great that his body spasmed from time to time. At the same time, the intrusive mental power in his mind tried to control his body.
It almost controlled his leg as he tried to jump.
"Argh!" Ashtarh "raised" his strength and broke the control of the mental power on his leg.
"You are a team! Even during the moment he was eliminated, you still were!" Ashtarh yelled. Growing up in military, he couldn"t accept treating his teammates that way.
"You aren"t fit to win this." He said and focused on his hearing to find Xavier.
His ears bled as he heard a buzzing sound in his mind. His senses were constantly interrupted and interfered by the mental power.
The only way to find Xavier was to use his senses, but the only way to use his senses properly was to find Xavier.
It becomes a chicken-egg problem.
Ashtarh didn"t panic, however. This level of interference means Xavier was also spending mental power heavily.
"I need to endure. Endure." He not only had to endure the attacks by Xavier, but also the fact that he was working with Sarah, the same person who tried to drown them in a beast tide.
"Sarah?" He raised his voice and asked.
"I didn"t find him." Sarah"s voice came from the distance. She was using her senses at the moment to determine his location.
It was even more impossible for her.
Her overall strength was in the same league as theirs, but the strength of each of her paths individually was a cla.s.s below.
Unlike strength, stacking senses wasn"t possible.
Thus, she was pretty much only using large area attacks in attempts to strike Xavier.
But this area was too big. Given Xavier"s huge mental range, she had no idea where he was right now.
"Can you ask Maissa to check?" Sarah asked Ashtarh as he created a huge ice spear in the air and crashed in to the ground in the distance.
They really need another helper to find Xavier.
Even though he might not be able to hide for that long, the more they delayed, the greater the possibility of an accident.
With her s.p.a.ce talent, Maissa was the best option.
"Maissa, are you free?" Ashtarh yelled, resisting the intrusion in his mind.
"Huff. Huff. No!" Maissa yelled back, wiping the sweat from her forehead. She looked at Rodey with wide eyes and exclaimed.
"Why the f.u.c.k are you still standing?"
Rodey"s tall body stood straight as blood dripped from every corner of his body.
There were burns on his skin from lightning, chunks of flesh missing that were destroyed the s.p.a.ce blasts.
Some places even showed traces of whiteness.
Despite not being fatal, such injuries were enough to make any of his peers collapse.
But…
"Um? Why can"t I stand? It hurts like h.e.l.l though." Rodey rubbed his chin with bloodied hands and said.
"…." Maissa"s lips twitched.
She forgot that usually these geniuses were eccentric. Because he didn"t speak much, she underestimated him.
Yet, he proved himself to be a monster.
If she had to evaluate, his strength was slightly below Ashtarh.
This guy was hiding his strength all along!
Wha the f.u.c.k?!
"You"re hard to catch, but not the other guy." Rodey said and his body blurred, shrinking the distance between him and Tiama to nothing.
He punched out, sending ripples through the air and his fist reached the Tiama"s lightning shield.
At the same time, the s.p.a.ce around him quickly solidified. But Rodey broke it quickly and punched through the lightning shield.
Kak!
His skin was burnt away and a numbing sensation that threatened to paralyze his body spread from his hand.
Rodey"s fist slowed down but didn"t stop.
Click!
It connected with Tiama"s chest and sent him flying.
"Gargh!" He coughed out blood and crashed on the ground. "F-f.u.c.k you!"
Rodey"s entire forearm was burnt. His brows lightly knit, but he didn"t even groan.
Whether he liked it or not, his right arm was crippled for the battle.
His figure blurred and he shot towards Tiama.
"Hmph!"
The s.p.a.ce suddenly fluctuated and without a second thought, Rodey somersaulted back.
Boom!
Kacha!
The s.p.a.ce broke like a mirror and everything in the distance was devoured.
"You"re not touching him." Maissa appeared right behind him and punched out, her fist was covered in s.p.a.ce power.
Rodey shifted in the nick to time to shift the punch from his neck to his back.
"Gah" He spit out blood and landed on the ground with shaky feet. There was a depression on his back.
Maissa really didn"t hold back.
"Tiama, get the f.u.c.k up already!" She yelled and rushed forward.
Rodey"s eyes narrowed and he clenched his left fist. To get to this level, he trained since childhood.
He wasn"t proud of his talent or hours put in to practice. But in his ability to bear pain and work despite it. He won pain.
His figure blurred and clashed with Maissa"s in mid-air.
In the distance, Tiama, lying on a puddle of blood heard Maissa"s words and almost wanted to beat her up.
"Cough! Cough!" He tried to get up but the blow was too severe.
He never excepted Rodey would sacrifice his arm for that punch.
Even though he cancelled off most of the momentum, for a lightning awakener, it was a deadly punch.
Tiama tried to get up, but to no avail.
As he closed his eyes in shame and despair, a voice suddenly sounded.
"Hey."
"Hm?" Tiama opened his eyes and saw William"s bright smile.
Did he come her to help? What a nice and kind young man.
Tiama smiled. "Thank y—"
"You shouldn"t sleep in the middle of a battle." William shook his head and walked off.
"Wait, what?" Tiama opened his mouth in shock. "Can"t you see the blood? I"m injured."
"You are pretty energetic for an injured person." William said and shrugged.
He waved to Sarah in the distance and said. ""Sarah, I"ll help with Xavier."
His mental sense spread out and searched for the telepath. As a Mind Awakener, he had the best chance to find Xavier.
But…
"Argh! Cough!" William clutched his head and coughed out blood.
"He"s five miles away, 36 degrees anti-clock to me now. He"s moving….I lost him."
William"s voice went from urgency to surprise to dejection.
Boom!
Boom!
Sarah summoned huge ice dragons above the location and was about to smash them down.
At that moment, her face suddenly paled and a trace of blood dripped from the corner of her lips.
She felt a searing pain in her head. The pain was just too much to pair. It was like her head was pierced with needles from all sides.
And not just the physical pain, but also the emotional one.
The sad memories of her childhood.
The death of her brother.
The death of her mother.
Her father avoiding her.
Sia"s disappearance…
"Sarah, get a hold of yourself." Philia"s voice snapped her out of her trance and Sarah looked up.
The Ice dragons she condensed were gone.
And probably, Xavier also escaped.
"Tiama? Maissa…huh? Maissa?" Ashtarh"s exclamation caused her to turn around.
Sarah"s eyes widened.
Three silver lights flashed.
