Chapter 811 New Enemies
Planetoid Argos, Mars:
The pitch black sky turned blue for a second before glowing red. Finally, a huge noise, akin to an explosion sounded.
The darkness was blasted away and a figure and a figure crashed to the ground.
A cloud of dust rose all the way to the clouds and a huge crater spanning dozens of miles ford on the crash.
Cough. Cough.
Weak sounds of coughing sounded from the dust and the next mont, an invisible force blew off the dust.
Enigma jumped up from the crater and looked at the sky with a critical eye.
Her left hand was suffering from a bone-chilling cold while her right was partially burnt. The worst injury, however, was her limp arm.
Her left arm was twisted to the point she couldn't even use raise it.
As she stood there, completely bloodied with major injuries, three Abyssals landed in front of her.
Three level 9s.
They were laden with multiple injuries, only slightly less than hers. The fire awakener had a broken arm, the water Abyssal had his lung punctured, and the body awakener had a dizzy mind after the ntal attacks.
Despite this, the three of them were in a much better condition to fight.
"Enigma, huh." The Fire Awakener drew a fire sword and threw it at her.
"You are the second biggest obstacle to our plan." The Water Awakener snapped her finger and the temperature around Enigma plumted, causing the woman to instinctively shiver.
"Have the hybrids advanced so far already? To have three powers?" The Body Awakener laughed as he followed up after the fire sword, ready to deliver a finishing blow. "Once we take the legacy, I guess we too could reach this level. Your corpse will serve as an excellent study."
Enigma's teeth chattered as she fought off the cold and channeled her powers.
Darkness rippled from her and repelled the cold. Enigma then ford a hand seal and the upcoming fire sword began to tilt to the side.
"Not on my watch!" The Fire Awakener roared and forcibly reverted the fire sword's angle.
Enigma gritted her teeth as she channeled every bit of her gravity powers.
The fire sword that was about to strike her heart tilted in the last few seconds and just grazed her before crashing into a mountain a few miles behind.
The lush mountain was caught up in flas and in a blink, the huge thing exploded into pieces, with the shockwaves of the explosion spreading for miles.
While this happened, Enigma's psychic powers were attacking the body awakener by pulling him into an illusion.
The Abyssal struggled with the illusion before he finally reached her. Raising his fists, he punched at Enigma, or what he thought was Enigma, when in reality, his punch was five feet away from her.
Enigma wanted to use this chance to launch an attack and severely injure him.
She raised her hand and out of her palm, a huge dark spear materialized.
When the spear of darkness appeared, the senses of the Body Awakener turned even more sluggish and he didn't even realize he was about to be attacked.
With a gesture, the spear shot towards the Abyssal's head.
The Body Awakener's instinct scread and he was about to dodge. But even if he did, thanks to her illusion, he'd surely be attacked by the spear sowhere.
Enigma's eyes shone with hopeful light when two discordant voices sounded.
"Nope."
"Too early."
A fire and ice barrier surrounded the Body Awakener and blocked the spear successfully.
'This isn't going anywhere.' Enigma thought in frustration.
Her figure blurred and explosions occurred all over the planetoid as their battle continued.
Enigma wasn't able to deal a deciding blow nor were the Abyssals.
Since she was a very new level 9, Enigma could only deal with two low level 9.
It's beyond her current strength to face three and win. She could, at most, pull them into a stalemate and that's what she did.
The battle went on for another hour.
Enigma's stamina was quickly being sapped and the battle was slowly tilting in the Abyssals' favor.
If she let out even a small mistake, they'd deal a major blow and defeat her.
So, Enigma kept all her focus.
And that's the reason she didn't notice the five level 8s that entered the planetoid.
Her gravity sense did find their entry, but she was too focused on the battle and her mind was only looking out for level 9 threats.
As anyone would, she ignored them.
The newcors weren't normal Abyssals. They were wearing a crimson military uniform different from any Abyss.
After landing on the planetoid, they observed the battle for a few seconds and locked a location.
They didn't care about the ongoing war on the planetoid. They didn't stop when they passed by human soldiers killing Abyssals or Abyssals killing humans.
On their way to the place, a high level 8 human who just finished off his Abyssal counterpart noticed them.
"New bastards?!" The human roared and appeared behind the Abyssals and swung his sword.
The five Abyssals turned their gazes back to him and a red mist emitted from them.
The level 8 human felt a chill down his spine and backed off. His heart pounded against his chest and he forgot to breathe.
"Y-You…" He looked at the Abyssals with a pale face as he struggled to speak.
They didn't even touch him. They didn't even use their powers. But that red light…
Killing intent!
Tyrannical, cold, and bone-chilling killing intent.
The human gulped as he realized the Abyssals in front of him were soone who killed millions.
Yet, he gritted his teeth and said. "You shall not pass."
The weakest of the five Abyssals casually wiped her index finger in the air.
The human raised his hand to block the attack, but he lost control of his body and, before he knew it, saw a familiar headless body.
His own.
Ignoring the dead human, the five Abyssals reached their location and channeled their auras.
A red light glowed from them and they entered a battle formation like they had done many tis in the past.
Then, they waited patiently. Like a lion waiting for the rabbit.
Five minutes later, Enigma's blurred figure approached the location as she kept fighting the Abyssals.
Even before her arrival, the mountains in the nearby area were decimated and the ground cracked apart.
Not minding the aftermath one bit, the five Abyssals waited.
The three Abyssals launched another attack on Enigma and like every other ti, Enigma gave her all to defend herself.
Only this ti, the five crimson Abyssals channeled their aura into the battle formation right then.
A red sword that seed to be dripping with blood erged out of the formation and reached the unsuspecting Enigma.
Enigma tried to block the sword at the last mont, but she had just exhausted her defenses and it was too late.
The incomplete defenses she tried to set up at the last mont didn't work and the blood sword pierced broke her defense effortlessly and pierced her chest, missing her heart by an inch.
Enigma collapsed to the ground like a shot bird as she clutched her chest.
The Abyssals attacking her didn't let go of the golden opportunity and launched their attacks to finish her off.
It was a precarious situation and even the most experienced veterans would've t their end.
But as soone who spent countless years in darkness, Enigma's ntal resilience was on another level.
Realizing the danger she was facing, Enigma used her special treasure and teleported hundreds of miles away.
She didn't stop and kept teleporting until she was far away from the planetoid. From the Abyssals.
She was barely able to enter her spaceship before she fainted from severe injuries.
