Erik was on the roof. There was a look of utter focus, tinted by hatred in his eyes. The young man was looking at the surrounding enemies as if he were a predator looking at a dangling piece of at. The Chimaeric Demon was next to him, in a fighting position.
Erik could sense its murderous thoughts thanks to the Instability brain crystal power. He could understand it because most of his murderous thoughts were directed at Uncle Benjamin.
Both for him and his clones, but even for Levium, there were no more words to spend, no more reasoning to make. The only thing that could be done now was spill blood, and everyone was determined to spill it.
However, as much as Erik wanted to smash his fist into Uncle Benjamin's face, he was in a very precarious situation. There was only a Chimaeric Demon with him, while the enemies he was going to face were too many.
Five hundred were on the roof, but many more were coming towards him from the streets, and there was no doubt they all had multiple brain crystal powers, if not from Doran's research, at least from Etrium's brain crystal equipnt.
Levium stood at the head of the blackguard forces, floating in the air like a god, showing his might to all those present to witness his power.
Levium's posture was confident, his eyes glinting behind his mask, and his ego reaching the sky.
"Last chance, Erik," he said. "Surrender now, and we can end this peacefully."
But Erik just laughed. "You know that will not happen, Levium. This fight is going to end in one way, and that is with you in a pool of your own blood."
Uncle Benjamin sighed. "Then you leave no choice. Attack!"
At his command, the blackguards and the fighters from the countries who joined him surged forward.
An initial batch of attacks ca to the young man and his clone.
The air was filled with all kinds of attacks; most of them were elental ones, which was surprising considering how rare and powerful they were.
Fire and water attacks filled the space surrounding Erik. These elents crashed into each other, creating clouds of steam. This made it hard to see the battlefield.
Ice chunks flew, shining because of the lights made by the fire projectiles and the bolt of lightning that flashed in the surroundings.
These were the most complicated powers Erik had to face, but he created ice pillars that attracted them.
These weren't the only ones, though, because the water and ice attacks the enemy made achieved the sa result, but it created a more ssy situation since the bolts zigzagged through the different attacks, creating lightning cages that crisscrossed the battlefield.
Sharp wind blades whistled by, carrying enormous pieces of stone that could crush anything. The enemies aid their attacks at Erik's ice pillars. These pillars were Erik's main defense against the dangerous lightning bolts. The attacks kept hitting the pillars, causing them to crack and break. Erik had to make new ones to replace those that were destroyed.
At the sa ti, he had to dodge the various attacks that rained on him. The Chimaeric Demon had to do the sa, but for him, it wasn't as easy.
The enemy also tried to blind Erik. In truth, that results in the other blackguards ending up unable to see.
They did this by using bright light beams. The result was that all these attacks looked like nature was fighting against Erik, who found himself amid a dangerous storm of deadly projectiles.
Erik dodged the attacks. Fireballs flew past, almost burning his ears. Sharp pieces of ice zood by, glinting in the chaotic light.
He bent and twisted his body in amazing ways to avoid getting hit. Thanks to his instability brain crystal power, Erik could sense where the attacks were coming from and dodge them, but it was already taxing his mind.
As he moved, he kept looking around, trying to find weak spots in the constant wave of attacks.
But that wasn't the only thing Erik did. Of course, he also channeled mana through his Force Bastion Neural links.
However, contrary to the usual, he pushed a huge amount of mana into it. This ti, he wasn't sure he would be able to avoid all the attacks, so he maximized his defenses.
The Chimaeric Demon didn't have that ability, and that made his creator worry. Not only because it was one of his clones, and he would be sad if he died, but even because he needed him if he wanted to survive this encounter.
Though, since it couldn't really avoid everything, the clone rushed toward the enemy. This way, the blackguards and their allies would have to be careful in what they did, unless they wanted to kill their comrades while trying to kill the Chimaeric Demon.
Once there, the clone started a bloody dance, one that decimated the soldiers barring their way. There was no way these guys could fight against him in lee, and the sa was true for Erik.
In fact, the young man did the sa while keeping the pillars up and using the Frostwind Fire Tempest brain crystal power to create wind blades.
He cut around 40 blackguards with one single attack, but as soon as they died, 100 more
joined the fray.
[LEVEL UP.]
Erik felt a surge of energy within his body.
