Felix stared in disbelief.
"How the hell did that guy get that cloak?"
Felix was baffled by the sight before him. His mind raced, wondering if Sean and Xavior had fought, and the forr ca out on top.
His thoughts were cut short as Sean suddenly pulled a cane out of nowhere and raised it to the sky. A black, plasma-like energy ball ford above him, crackling with ominous power.
With a sinister laugh, Sean proclaid, "I should have done this earlier! I can steal everyone's magic talent and increase my lifespan! I can beco immortal! I'm destined to be GOD! ALL YOUR MAGIC AND MANA ARE MINE!"
As Sean's declaration echoed, the black energy ball extended energy tentacles, spreading out in all directions. A dozen tentacles shot toward the crowd in front of Felix. Panic erupted as knights shouted in terror, so raising their shields in a futile attempt to defend themselves. The tentacles passed through their bodies.
"Huh?"
One of the soldiers glanced at his chest and arms, expecting wounds, but found nothing. Confusion spread among the knights.
They were harmless.
Felix, however, saw the truth. His expression darkened as he noticed the tentacles snatching white energy balls from the knights and absorbing them into the energy mass. He instinctively stepped back, retrieving a KAR 98k and loading mana-piercing rounds.
In the next mont, the knights who had been touched by the tentacles collapsed, their bodies shriveling into dust.
Seeing the horrifying scene, the surviving knights scread in fright, so falling to the ground in shock, while others turned around and fled in desperation.
As the obstacles got out of the way, Felix got a clear view of Sean. Although Felix had no personal vendetta against him, Sean's actions posed a dire threat to Jane. Felix couldn't let him live.
*BANG*
The gunshot rang out as Felix fired. The mana-piercing bullet struck, punching through the center of Sean's chest and sending him sprawling backward. Sean collapsed, staring up at the sky.
But the black energy ball remained active, its tentacles thrashing wildly as if it had gone berserk.
Jessica's urgent voice echoed in Felix's mind.
Without hesitation, Felix jumped onto the ATV, made a sharp U-turn, and sped back into the city.
The energy ball seed to take on a life of its own, floating forward and picking up speed as it pursued him. Its tentacles lashed out, striking everything in their path—houses, stalls, streets, and trees—all of which crumbled into dust.
Felix pushed the ATV's barrier output to its maximum. He glanced back to see the energy ball, now a massive half-mile in diater, slowly gaining distance on him.
Realizing he couldn't outrun it, Felix ca up with a desperate plan. He loaded a round into the KAR 98k and fired at the energy mass while driving.
*BANG*
The mana-piercing bullet tore through the mass. But instead of destroying it, the energy ball grew slightly larger.
Seeing the futility of his efforts, Felix stowed the rifle and steered left, heading west. After making the turn, he glanced back, wondering if the energy ball was still chasing him.
*RUMBLE*
The mass of energy kept flying straight, obliterating everything in its path.
Felix exhaled a sigh of relief, slowing the ATV to a stop. He checked the system map and consulted with Jessica.
"Is that SOB still alive?" Felix asked, referring to Sean Smith. Given what he'd seen with Elizabeth, Felix couldn't help but wonder if Sean had sohow survived.
Jessica confird.
