"Boom!"
A huge explosion destroyed the hall, and Varian was blown away.
Fortunately, he was at an adequate distance from the hall, and that saved from his grievous injuries.
"Boom!"
"Bo—!"
The explosions continued, but Varian felt the world go silent.
He could see the shock waves hit from the explosion, sending rocks everywhere.
He could feel the prickling sensation of the special rocks piercing his skin and his warm blood trickle out.
But he couldn't hear anything.
'Survive first!'
He got up from the debris and rushed behind a collapsed wall.
The dust slowly cleared, and he was able to see the situation.
He took out his binocular and peered at the hall. His greater human eyesight, added with binoculars, made for the perfect spy camera.
His teammates were standing in a formation.
Sarah, Olivia covered the front while Crimson, Ivy and Body Awakener, Luca, covered the rear
"....….." Sarah's lips moved, and the team shot outwards.
Varian saw their targets and his eyes widened.
There were Abyssals as expected, but there were also… humans.
'What the fuck!' He cursed.
There were 8 Abyssals and 8 Humans. Every one of their aura reached Level 5.
'—itors!"
Varian's hearing slowly returned, but he was not in a mood to appreciate it.
If his teammates of 5 fought with 16 enemies, they'd be dead for sure.
"You scum." Ivy spat and raised her paw.
Varian barely could capture her moments as she disappeared in the blink of an eye and appeared in front of two humans.
The humans, apparently were all male, were dressed in all black.
The dress code was eerily similar to Enigma and Blue Flash's. It seemed to be the uniform of Shadow Order.
Ivy's claw descended with a gigantic momentum and was about to pierce them into pieces.
Right then, the two men punched back.
Ivy' beast instincts kicked into action and she twisted her body to an insane posture, dodging all the attacks.
This meant her paw hit the ground instead.
Boom!
Ivy's paw blasted the ground and cracks spread like spider webs.
At that moment, the four fists aimed for her vitals.
"Guh" Ivy strained her body and dodged.
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
Their barrage of punches broke the floor and Ivy's momentum.
Strength was not her beast's forte. She could take on one Body Awakener with ease, but two turned the game against her.
Soon, she could only dodge and was suppressed.
Her body was subjected to high tension, as she had to dodge every attack. The toll was rising.
"Die! " Crimson yelled and waved his hand.
Dozens of swords shot at two Abyssals at an insane speed.
Varian's vision could no longer keep up and he only saw flashes from the swords.
"Cling"
The next thing he saw was a huge thunder wall blocking off the swords. The source of the thunder wall was a human.
Taking the opportunity, the two Abyssals rushed at Crimson.
Their fists reached his head in the blink of an eye.
Boom!
There was a huge blast, and the shock waves turned the room into rubble.
Varian saw Crimson a few meters away from his previous location.
He was using his telekinetic abilities to hold up shields and block the incoming attacks.
At the same time, he used spears and darts to attack the Abyssals.
He had an exquisite control and would've brought down at least one of the two Abyssals, if not for the human.
The human used his thunder abilities and parried his attacks.
For each spear from his side, there was a thunder spear from the other.
The group soon suppressed Crimson. His body suffered from backlash as he tried to hold the shields against the crazy bombardment of Abyssal punches.
Boom!
Boom!
It was only a matter of minutes.
Varian's heart sank as he glanced at the next battle.
Olivia's moments were sluggish, and she was barely able to bring upon the earth walls to block the spear of an Abyssal.
Varian saw a human in the distance standing still with closed eyes.
'Telepath!'
They were affecting her mind, and she was fighting two of them at the same time.
She tried to launch an offensive at the telepath, but the Abyssal blocked every one of them.
Due to her delayed timing, she wasn't able to block all the attacks properly. This led to her suffering injuries, which slowly rose.
The result seemed to be set in stone.
Varian then turned to Luca.
Luca was facing two Abyssals. The three of them were Body Awakeners. Luca was stronger than each of them, but not both of them together.
However, Luca used his skills and found an opportunity to land a strike on his opponent's head. A critical strike and game changer.
Right when his fist was about to land, he felt his arm was caught in something solid.
The space around his arm was frozen!
With his momentum, he broke the frozen space, but the delay due to obstruction was enough to save the Abyssal.
It even gave the Abyssal enough time to counterattack.
Boom!
Luca hastily blocked, but the attack sent him flying.
He quickly got to his feet. However, his shoulder bone was dislocated, and he was bleeding. His combat power undoubtedly dropped.
Facing two body awakener Abyssals and a space awakener human at his own level, Luca didn't stand a chance since the beginning.
Bang!
The building started to shake.
Varian moved a few hundred meters more and felt his heart shake.
Even from here, the blasts were loud and the shock waves hard.
His mind was frantic.
On one hand, he was blown away by the sheer scale of the battle.
On the other, he was worried.
'System, you son of a bitch. Is this what you call balance of crisis and opportunity?' He cursed.
He found a new hiding spot and got into it.
He knew things could get dangerous, but he believed the dangers were 'solvable'.
Now? How would he survive against Level 5s?
[Host, this system is not a son. Also, you are still alive and kicking.]
Varian's face trickled with hatred as he wished to bash this system and discipline it.
'I think your dad is God of destruction and disaster.' He thought bitterly.
However, his mind was already thinking of the next course of plan.
Should he escape? He would be easily spotted and killed without resistance.
Stay? Wasn't that waiting to be killed?
Holding his hope, he brought up his binoculars and found Sarah.
Sarah, the suspected third on the Amethyst List.
The moment he found her, his eyes widened.
