1130 The battle for Maynard Island (7)
Erik was surprised by how they made that attack work. However, it also worked only because of Vex's weapon. That must have been a brain crystal sword, and Erik was pretty sure it had a power that allowed the sword to turn insanely sharp, to the point it could bypass his Force Bastion's armor.
At the sa ti, Vex thought they could really kill this monster. What he didn't know, though, was that Erik had a power no one knew about, simply because a lot of ti passed since he was last injured, and even if he was, it wasn't usually easy to see its effects.
Since he was invisible, the three didn't notice that Erik's wound imdiately closed itself. Though the younger man lost concentration for a second and his invisibility turned off.
Yet in his mind only retaliation thoughts swirled, and since he had the chance now, he would not let that slide. Erik supercharged his Lightning Lord brain crystal power. As soon as Vex saw a small spark of electricity coalesce around his fingertips, he slowed ti down.
He leaped backward, but the lightning had already ford and was racing towards him. Electricity was fast, and even with his slowed down ti, he was having trouble avoiding it.
The problem was that there wasn't much space between him and Erik, so Vex didn't have much space to move.
Though Terra and Restro must have anticipated that, and while everything happened really fast, they still had enough reaction ti, or simply foresight, to do sothing. A barrage of projectiles were hurtled towards Erik, and a wall sprouted between their leader and the arc of electricity the younger man released. His Force Bastion deflected most of the rocks, but he was forced to avoid the most dangerous ones and had to stop targeting Vex.
Erik was using his Hydra's head to keep up with the three, but it wasn't easy. The power didn't make him see at 360 degrees, so what he didn't see, he could at best predict. But with fighters of that caliber and battle awareness, even that wasn't easy. Vex got out of harm's way, but his mana was already spent. He almost had half his reserves completely consud.

He didn't know how well his comrades were faring, but they must have been in a pretty similar situation. Vex consud mana to slow ti enough for him to at least see Erik and to react to his attacks. Terra and Restro had to use a lot of it just to make the attacks fast and powerful enough to bypass the young man's armor, and even that wasn't enough. The most puzzling question was: how much mana did Erik have?
The young man still had wings on and was currently hovering above ground, yet not anymore invisible. He used different elental powers, and on top of that, his armor never left him. That must have ant he used a great deal of mana, especially considering how powerful his attacks had to be just to injure them, and that required mana.
Then he observed him thoroughly. There was no wound on his body.
