Chapter 774: A Walking Disaster
Chapter 774: A Walking Disaster
For a moment, Mantis was ecstatic. He was so pleased with himself, that he had managed to break through the thick steel wall. The wall that he would have just deemed impossible for him to break through.
After seeing Raze do it again and again though, he just had to give it a try. He knew his new body was stronger, and he had an idea from watching how Raze used his Void Pulse. He gathered the Qi in the back of his hand, and twisted his fist to put all of the Qi in one point, exploding out.
The results weren’t what he had expected, but he tried it again, putting more Qi to the back of his hand, and unknowingly to himself, focusing so hard on those points, had caused his back to partly transform, as well as his hand and with the extra power of his Hybrid form, he smashed right through the thick steel, and in turn arrived on the other side, where there were countless people staring and looking at who had just entered.
When looking up, Mantis could see the crowd of people looking at him, and he could feel their Qi. These weren’t amateurs; they were strong warriors.
“There are only two of them attacking; they must have gotten here by mistake!” One of the warriors shouted.
“Focus on the shirtless one!” A man pointed at Mantis. “He just broke through the steel, we need to get rid of him first.”
Seeing as there were only two, and what Mantis had just done, the Bonum Society members were quick to act as they charged forward towards them.
“Do your best to deal with them, I need to observe a bit more,” Raze said, as he realized that there was next to nothing in this room, and wondered why it existed in the first place.
One of the warriors who were running toward the group stretched out their arm, and a sword skimmed Mantis’s face. He was surprised but reacted in time and grabbed the man by the wrist.
He then pulled his arm in the air, and Mantis slammed his fist into his stomach, sending him away.
Several warriors quickly came toward Mantis, who had no choice but to dodge and block a few hits, but there were so many attackers that he couldn’t help but get hit in the stomach.
As he punched another one away, he was left wide open, and a sword strike came right by his neck. Before the man could get any closer, though, a palm strike was delivered into his stomach, but it wasn’t from Mantis’s hand; it was from another.
The man was sent flying and tumbling, bouncing off the floor several times in the other direction.
“You might need a little help; there seem to be quite a lot of them,” Raze had to admit, as he pulled out his sword.
He swung it, striking against another, just with his Qi, he was winning out and as he attacked a sword it would bounce back, some warriors even let go of their grip. Another started to change into what looked like a wolf-like beast.
Before it could fully change though, Raze got out his hand, and fired away.
“Dark Pulse!” The beam went out from his hand, hitting the beast man in the leg, immobilizing him and sending him to the floor.
While Raze struck the ground with his foot to stop the others with his Qi as much as possible.
‘Not only are there so many of them, but all of them seem to be quite resistant as well. Even if I strike them with my sword, some of their wounds are healing. If I hit them with my Qi, they’re getting back up as well.’ Raze noticed. ‘Are they all beast-like beings, like Murkel?’
At the same time, although Mantis was suffering from a lot of hits, he was giving a lot back. His wild fighting style made it hard for them to pin him down. Even as they used their beast- like skills, Mantis was able to strike with his hand.
His fingers were hardened more than before and his Qi sharpened, making them like claws, allowing him to cut through any substance that was trying to pin him down. Still, there was just an odd feeling that he had been through this before, or almost as if the place was quite familiar to him.
Yet the feeling of familiarity wasn’t making him feel as if he was at home, instead, it was making him feel a bit of a deeper hatred.
The next person he kicked, he kicked with such vigor their body flipped several times in the air before landing.
“There’s something I don’t like about this place, and there’s definitely something I don’t like about you,” Mantis said.
Crouching down, Mantis then jumped from person to person, striking each of them, and grabbing onto a sword with his bare hand. He did so with such brute force that the sword snapped before he punched the man on the head, sending him to the ground.
Because of how vicious Mantis was being, a lot more of the Bonum Society members were paying attention to him, rather than that of Raze. Allowing for Raze, to take a more calm approach to those that he was facing.
If anything, Raze was somewhat practicing against his opponents, as he was trying to predict and see where their strikes were coming from even if they were a Hybrid.
Raze was also trying to gauge just how much energy he would need to try and beat these people down, and make sure they didn’t get up again. After constantly running out of mana and Qi, he didn’t want to be in that situation again.
He was sure in a facility like this there would be more he would have to face, and it was the same for the rest of the Light Faction he would have to go against.
It was then, through the same hole that Mantis had made, that Olag and his group had entered.
“Just what in the heck is going on!” Olag said.
