1128 The battle for Maynard Island (5)
"You've co alone. This ans you must be Erik Romano," one of them said once Erik was close enough. He was the one in the front, so Erik assud he was the leader of the group.
"That's right." He paused. "And you are?"
"You can call Vex."
"So, tell , Vex. What do you want to do?"
Erik hoped these guys would back away, even though he realistically knew that would not happen. Yet, if he could avoid such a complex fight, he would have done so blindly.
The Vindicators' postures stiffened. "We want to bring you to justice for your cris," one of them said.
"And you are?" Erik was visibly annoyed by the guy's stupid phrase.
"Terra."
Erik couldn't help but laugh, though. "Anyway, Terra, what justice are we exactly talking about? Hopefully not yours. Do I have to remind you of the atrocities you committed every day for years? You talk about justice, yet I fail to see what justice you are exactly bringing to the world. There's no justice in what you Blackguards do."
"There is no need for you to understand what we do or the intentions behind it, and I won't waste my breath trying to make you understand, since I already know you wouldn't. Now, it is who must ask sothing, Erik Romano. What do you want to do?"
Erik looked at them.
"Easy. Kill you three and blow up the building behind you." He didn't even hesitate.
The three Vindicators glanced at each other. Their expressions tightened, a flicker of concern passing between them behind their masks. Without hesitation, Erik unleashed a massive barrage of wind blades toward his opponents. The air shimred as the razor-sharp gusts hurtled toward the Vindicators.
Terra acted quickly, raising a wall of stone and earth to protect himself and his friends. The wind blades hit the wall, breaking off pieces of rock but failing to penetrate deep into it. The Vindicators behind the wall were spared from a grueso destiny.
Vex acted quickly, too. As the dust cleared, he used his ti-controlling brain crystal power, and everything went in slow motion. Most of the people were basically still, but for Erik. When Vex landed his eyes on him, he saw the man moving, almost as if he were just a normal man running and an athlete at that.
That speed was inhuman, and Vex knew that if he didn't protect his comrades, they would be killed.
Erik didn't notice what Vex was doing, but regardless, he saw Vex looking at him without problems. It was then he understood.
Erik ran behind the third guy. "You didn't say your na."
"Restro."
His fist, charged with his Force Bastion-affected mana, created a wave that killed everyone standing in front of Erik's wave and behind the Vindicator. [ENEMY HUMAN KILLED: MANA ABSORBING PROCESS STARTING.]

But not the target himself.
The man had conjured up his Aegis Morph brain crystal power; a dieval-looking armor encased him.
