Chapter 392: The Battle Ends
Now, the mohawk girl has landed on the ground. She is free to move with her extraordinary speed from various experiment conducted on her now.
"Alright, Veronica, Sunny, Elsie, keep your distance. The only ones allowed to fight close range against her are Shelia, Spot, and I. Though she is still quite amateurish in close combat, her physical strength is above mine. Be careful," I said to the others.
Veronica, Shelia, Spot, Elsie, and Sunny nodded. Sunny is now in her small flower form, while being carried by Elsie. Sunny will shoot at Mohawk from distance with the help of Elsie as her aiming support.
Then I continued, "Jewel, Sophie, and other lightning element watching the TV, learn Mohawk"s lightning magic. As for the others, see if you can find a way to defeat master level mage with extraordinary physical ability."
I told everyone watching TV to look carefully. But… is it still working after that many lightning strikes me? Though I managed to cut all the ones approaching us, it might affect the Camera.
When I asked Sonia through the TV, Sonia appears and told me that it"s still working. Good.
Now, let"s a.n.a.lyze the enemy again.
Her magic is so powerful, but so far, they are not something I cannot cut. Her physical ability is extraordinary from the various experiment she received, and she"s stronger and faster than I am. But she"s inexperienced in fighting with her body.
Next is her inner organ. Although she was thrown high to the sky and have trouble breathing, it was as if she doesn"t need to breathe in the first place as she"s still has that calm demeanor. Even after I cut her arm off, she"s still not panicked. My various type of gases doesn"t work on her.
And her fall to the ground, I don"t see any visible injury outside. But several of her bones are fractured. At least I know she"s taking damage.
She said that the Black Slime experiment was only conducted on the Professor, but that Professor might have taken some part of the Slime from his body, to infect her. Or maybe it"s something that naturally spread. Since she was very close to the Professor, she got infected by the Black Slime from the Professor.
In any case, Mohawk herself doesn"t realize that she"s similar to the Professor with some part of her inner organs were already infected.
I was about to start fighting again when she started to speak. I guess we will use this chance to recover our stamina.
"Huh? So it"s you, Veronica. I thought you were dead. Turns out, you just betrayed us. Am I correct?" Mohawk asked.
Veronica didn"t answer, and just looked at me.
"Just answer her questions and delay the fight as much as possible for now. I"m thinking of a plan," I whispered to Veronica.
Veronica then nodded, and she replied to Mohawk"s question.
"It has been a while since we last met. And I still don"t know what I should call you. Can I call you Mohawk like he did?" Veronica asked.
Let"s ignore them as I"m planning to continue the fight.
"I will call for help when the time arrives. I will prioritize in having the expert level mages come first. If there"s anyone unavailable, contact me through Sonia. And Sonia, tell the agents in Ca.s.sau to not let anyone approach this location. From the previous attack, there should be many people curious about it. Some of them might have left the city to see the situation," I said.
Veronica and Mohawk still chatted, but I guess it"s difficult for the introverted Veronica to continue talking. She"s already out of topics.
"By the way, don"t you feel any pain from your right arm? It"s gone, you know?" I asked as Veronica doesn"t know how to continue the conversation any longer.
"Yeah, this is the first time I got injured. Usually, in every mission, it would be over with just one magic. So, I never really got injured. It"s slightly distracting. I guess this is pain," Mohawk said as she looked at her missing right arm.
"I"m curious, can you feel pain or not? Just because you are slightly distracting, it doesn"t really mean that you feel pain. You know, I"m sort of a professor myself," I said. Though I"m a professor in air magic and not in research.
"Hmm… how do I prove it?" Mohawk asked.
I suppose it was because she"s experienced too much in being used as guinea pig. That"s why when I asked for her cooperation to research if she can feel pain or not, she didn"t refuse it.
"Let"s see… that was your right arm. If I do the same to your left arm, how do you feel?" I asked.
Did I just trick a gullible person that I will cut off her left arm after cutting her right arm? Yes. Do I feel guilty? No.
"Maybe the distracting feeling will change from my right to my left. Or maybe both right and left will feel the same," Mohawk said calmly.
"Let"s try it, shall we?" I said as I move forward to slash her with Reizpear.
"Please, don"t. I don"t know what to do if I also lost my left arm," Mohawk said, but I don"t care.
I still continue regardless of what she said. Good thing because of the conversation, she lets down her guard a little, so I can approach her.
I swung my Reizpear from my right to left so I can cut her left arm, but my intention is actually to target her heart.
But thanks to her ridiculous speed and reflexes, she jumped back as my Reizpear only scratched her left arm and the left side of her body slightly.
But my attack is not over yet. I stopped swinging Reizpear, and pulled it back, and then I thrusted it toward her body. She was jumping, so she couldn"t dodge it. But she was quick enough to use her lightning magic to create barrier and protect herself from my attack.
Though my attack should have damaged her considerably.
Seeing her got blown away, the others started attacking her. And I also called for help.
"Celestine! Julia!"
I didn"t call for Carmen since she"s a water element mage. It will only cause more damage to us if she plays a part here.
Celestine quickly build a wall surrounding Mohawk with only one opening, where Julia instantly uses her strongest fire magic to attack from that opening. This will damage Mohawk more than just if she received the fire magic.
Veronica and I also helped, with both of us make the fire bigger.
Unfortunately, Mohawk"s barrier is too powerful for us. But even if it"s her, there"s no way she can handle the heat.
And then, Spot and Sunny go to another side of the wall, where they shoot their beam magic toward. And as the beams got closer to the wall, Celestine made another opening.
This time, her barrier can"t handle it and it broke.
It"s working! She took the hit! Now, for the finisher… huh?
"Roy! What are you doing! Quick kill her!" Celestine shouted.
"…no. There"s no longer any need to continue fighting. Cease your magic. We"re done," I said.
The others are curious because they don"t think it would end so easily. Only Elsie and I can see what"s going on.
And then, Celestine broke down the wall covering Mohawk, as we can see her body is crumbling.
"…what the h.e.l.l is going on?" Julia asked.
"Most likely, because her power came from experiment and not through cultivation, her body finally can"t bear her own magic anymore. I saw this happen when she tried to make another barrier after you all broke the previous barrier. She failed and got her body destroyed instead," I explained.
As I was about to attack her before, I see that her body is cracked and crumbling. It was as if she was a stone that got hit over and over again.
"…is this over?" Veronica asked.
"…Mohawk, can you still talk?"
I asked Mohawk because I know she"s still alive.
"…what happened? I can"t move. I can"t use magic."
She still talks as usual. With her calm demeanor. It"s unthinkable of how much pain she should be receiving, but unable to express. Just prove how evil the Professor is.
"Your body can"t handle the magic and your enhanced strength as it crumbles. No wonder the Professor desperately desire the Black Slime. He wanted to create perfection. Experimental subjects who will be able to endure his crazy experiment," I said.
"Is that so? I lost?"
"Yes," I replied.
I have no other questions to ask her. And I don"t think it"s good for the others to see her dying. I"ll just kill her right away then.
"Wait! Don"t kill her yet! Albert said to transport him here so he can ask something. And Russell also said to bring him as well. He wants to try undoing her brainwashing," Sonia said.
I guess there are some questions he wanted to ask.
I opened two portals, one to where Russell is. He"s with old man Henry who entered the portal with him.
The other is to the capital where Albert is. Not just Albert, but everyone else who was watching entered the portal as well.
"Kayla, see if you can heal her enough to last Albert"s questions and Russell"s attempt in clearing her mind," I said.
d.a.m.n, I"m tired.
Such enemy and there will be more of them coming? What a pain.
I lay down on the ground as I used calming gas to clear my mind. And Sophie then come over as she let my head rest on her lap.
Not just me, Veronica, Shelia, Spot, Sunny, and Elsie are all tired. As for the other two who came late but very helpful, Julia and Celestine, the two are witnessing Albert"s question curiously with the others.
At least I can say job well done. Though I hope I won"t fight another master level mage in the future. Artificial or not.
