Chapter 1849: Spectral Mindscape!
The two siblings ran away towards the next car, quickly scaring everyone in there. However, they didn"t let any of them escape. The people that weren"t partic.i.p.ating were nothing but nuisances for the partic.i.p.ants themselves after all, having them run around the train was simply too inefficient.
"Alright everyone please calm down! We are just here with guns, that"s all, alright? Alright?! Yeah!"
"We deeply apologize for scaring everyone, but please don"t go or we"ll feel lonely."
The siblings, however, weren"t as bad as other criminals in how they talked at least, they tried to calm the people down while pointing guns at them...
"While you"re here why don"t you share your purses with money and any valuables you"ve got, hm?"
Paprica pointed her machine gun at the head of an old slug lady, who while trembling gave the woman her purse full of tiny starlight stones.
"Oh my, you"ve quite rich you d.a.m.n granny, hahaha!"
As she walked past her, she punched the granny in the face.
"Ouugh...! W-Why? I gave you what you wanted...!"
"Oops, that slipped me! I just hate old people, hahah!"
While her boyfriend/brother was collecting more money, Paprica glared at the trembling old lady, n.o.body else doing anything but watch.
"You remind me of that annoying old woman that kept nagging at me every time I came back home," she giggled. "You know what I did to her when I got fed up with her s.h.i.t?"
"A-Ah...! Wait...!"
"I shot her brains out!"
The machinegun started moving, as Paprica attempted to shoot the old slug lady, desiring to see her old, wrinkly body splattered into the floor.
ВАААМММ!
"GEH?!"
However, out of nowhere, a huge fist smashed her face down, as she saw her teeth flying away. She noticed the one that punched her, a huge, giantess of a woman with blue skin and black scales around her hands.
With speed she couldn"t predict, the woman grabbed her machinegun and then made it disappear, before grabbing her by the air and then smashing her into the ground again. BAAAM!
"Arrggh! You b.i.t.c.h!"
While screaming as her lower jaw almost dislocated and her teeth were gone, she unleashed a shockwave of psychic energy of tremendous power, attempting to take over her body.
BOOOM!
However, it was quickly negated, as a black psychic energy, combined with chaos, stopped her psychic powers from affecting her.
"W-Wha...?!" Paprica gasped, noticing the woman"s face looked a bit like that man that turned into slimes.
It was n.o.body else than Benladann, of course.
"P-Protect me!"
With a scream, Paprica"s pink energy was released, covering several people around the car. Suddenly, they began to stand up, mostly the males, whose pupils had turned heart shaped. Benladann glared at her surroundings.
"So your Psychic Power controls people... certain people I a.s.sume," wondered Benladann. "Mostly males... I see, so that"s why I am not even affected."
In that moment, dozens of people jumped towards Benladann, grabbing her arms and legs, trying to stop her from hurting Paprica any longer!
"My honey, you"ve got yourself into quite the trouble."
And Johnsie, who was at the end of the car, pointed his rifle at Benladann"s head, charging it with his powerful psychic energy.
"Fear not, I shall free you from this gorilla."
BAAANG!
Although he shot with the rifle, what came out of it was a giant beam of emerald energy, hitting Benladann"s back with tremendous force and sending her flying to the opposite end of
the car!
BOOOM!
"Phew, you saved me!"
Paprica slowly stood back up, giggling as she was surrounded by men, and a few women.
"Hehehe, look how many sweeties I got today!"
Benladann slowly stood back up, glaring at the two as if nothing had happened to her.
The damage she received wasn"t even negligible.
"I came here after I heard people screaming," she thought. "But I didn"t expect there to be these two big shots I saw in the quest notification..."
Benladann had been sleeping just a moment ago, but due to the commotion she woke up, realizing someone was screaming, she came running here, leaving Drake"s main body protecting the kids and Miranda who were sleeping.
"Now, now, another partic.i.p.ant this soon?" wondered Paprica. "Hhehe! She"s tough as rocks though!"
"I see... Should we retreat too?" wondered Johnsie. "I don"t want to get killed right away..."
"Maybe, but I am kind of p.i.s.sed off... I want her dead, pudding," said Paprica. "Can you help me kill her? Pretty please?"
"Hah, my honey, you don"t even need to ask!" Johnsie nodded, smiling as his rifle glowed with a green aura. "Let"s blow her brains out." He smiled maniacally.
"They"re indeed crazy, huh?" wondered Benladann, concentrating as more scales spread through her body. "Drake"s other half should be in the car behind me, I can hear a lot of commotion,
is he fighting more people? I"ll buy him time."
Benladann summoned her Axe, Hel, and divided it into two smaller hatchets, infusing them with both psychic energy and chaos energy.
She knew that in this world, psychic energy users, Espers, could somewhat negate some of the magic power of foes, or even greatly defend against them when they were at a certain level of
strength.
However, as long as she sued psychic energy herself, she was able to fight back much better and negate some of this defense, making things even.
Everyone that took the injections developed unique Psychic Abilities, and Benladann"s was
rather mysterious.
It was pitch-black, almost resembling shadows.
"Let"s do this..."
And her ability was...
"{Spectral Mindscape}"
FLUOOOSH!
Suddenly, the pitch-black psychic energy spread out everywhere, as Paprica and Johnsie stepped back to evade it, realizing, however, that it was too late.
Everything around them had suddenly turned into a spectral darkness, spreading through thousands of kilometers.
"W-What is this?!" wondered Paprica. "Pudding! I"m a bit scared! I don"t like dark places..."
"Calm down, Paprica," Johnsie said. "I believe this is a Mindscape... It traps our minds within
an imaginary, illusory world."
"Hah, no, it"s worse than that," Benladann smiled, as the darkness around the two rapidly
began to shapeshift into monsters.
But these "monsters" weren"t really creatures or beasts, but people.
People these two wicked siblings recognized.
Their family members which they hated so much...
"How about we have a family reunion?" Benladann asked.
