Chapter 284 The Awakening & The End (Part 2)

Bill didn’t really have a way to explain what was happening to him but he felt a deep connection forming from within.

A connection with the very earth itself!

Bill could sense everything that was happening on the ground, in between the wall, and even on the surface which was their ceiling.

It felt like he could effortlessly command the earth into doing whatever he willed.

Although he couldn’t control the entire planet, the feeling wasn’t false at all as all the earth within a kilometer radius obeyed Bill’s aura as if he was a force of nature passing down a command to them.

Bill’s aura within his body was running rampant and wild as his very blood was replaced by streams of aura that made him feel so powerful that he felt like he could continue fighting for days without ever stopping. This energy was presenting itself in the form of the glowing tattoos that covered his entire upper body, pulsing with power.

*Gulp!*

Victor was afraid of the power and aura emanating from Bill, even though he wasn’t that far behind him. Bill only had the earth ability boosted by his insane Mutant Gene, but he possessed several abilities of close to that caliber so he still should be able to match up to him.

Victor quickly equipped his rifle and activated his own wind Mutant Gene before Bill could make the walls crush him again.

After once again getting boosted by his mutant gene, Victor activated a very powerful and useful skill that made his entry body become hazy and covered in a super thin concentrated layer of air making it white and visible.

“Hmph! Cheap tricks won’t work on me!” Bill shouted as he smashed his feet into the ground and the walls of the tunnel quickly began crashing toward each other again, hoping to crush Victor Voss to death; however, Victor calmly raised his arms just in time as a powerful gust of wind propelled him backward and he narrowly dodged the walls from crushing him.

Bill’s eyes flared with surprise as he wasn’t expecting Victor to still have the skill necessary to offer resistance to him.

However, he quickly recovered as the anger and rage within him wouldn’t rest until he skinned Victor alive for everything he had done.

The tattoos on his arms could be seen channeling the energy from his core into his arms as Bill began to rapid-fire cast earth spears from all angles in extremely quick succession.

Extremely sharp and durable earth spears erupted from the ground, walls, and ceiling by the dozens every second all aimed to impale Victor and land a critical strike.

Victor quickly took on a unique stance where he was super low to the ground and he quickly began to dodge every single earth spear at the same speed that more were emerging.

He was so quick on his feet that he would change his position the moment he sensed a disturbance in the ground thus avoiding any spikes that emerged from beneath him while maintaining his unique stance where he was practically supporting all of his weight on his knees.

This stance allowed him to stay as far away from the walls and ceiling as possible making it easier for him to sense and dodge the incoming attacks.

Despite not having shown his physical strength that much, Victor was crazy strong as he continued to break earth spikes by the dozen every second to create room for him to maneuver and continue dodging the attacks.

After about two minutes of this insane display of skill and power from both sides, Bill’s tattoos began to dim as he was exhausting his energy reserves faster than he could replenish them, forcing him to stop.

“EYA HA HA HA!”

An insane maniacal laughter resounded in the hallways the a sudden gust of wind broke apart all of the remaining earth spears. 𝒍𝒊𝙗𝒓𝒆𝒂𝒅.𝓬𝒐𝓶

Victor revealed himself with newfound confidence as he finally had a gauge of Bill’s strength and realized that he was still able to take him on despite his massive growth in power which goes to show how strong Victor actually was.

Every single vein and muscle inside Bill’s body bulged at the sheer sight of seeing Victor still laughing in the same he did when he was torturing them.

“HA HA HA! Face it! I am still stronger than you! You can get all of nature’s unfair advantages and I will still kill you in the end!” Victor shouted as he disrespectfully dusted off the dust from his clothes.

Bill was starting to breathe heavily from all the energy he was spending and so was Victor as using that wind skill which practically made him untouchable at Bill’s level also cost him heaps of energy to maintain.

“You will soon succumb to your body’s limits…” Victor continued as he continued to breathe heavily and catch his breath. “It’s only a matter of time before I claim yours and your remaining friend’s deaths.” He taunted.

“I’ll make you eat those words far before that time ever comes!” Bill shouted back with extreme anger as his breathing finally calmed and his tattoos began to resonate and glow a bit brighter again.

Victor only smiled at Bill’s threat as he knew he had a larger reserve of energy than a rookie military kid and there was no way that he could ever outlast him. All he had to do was to continue to dodge and evade him as he couldn’t physically match him in strength until he finally got tired and then he would swoop in for the kill.

“Иди навстречу своей смерти!” Victor shouted in Russian as he took another unique stance, prompting Bill to run at him and resume their fight. (Translation: Come, to your death!)

Bill rushed in with his bare fist and he began punching and kicking at Victor with great technique and speed, but still, none of them were able to connect as Victor dodged and evaded every single one of them.

A lot of Bill’s attacks ended up striking the walls and floor of the hallway sending down shockwaves throughout the whole hideout from the force that was being carried in those deadly attacks.

Bill wanted to reserve his energy and find a way to overcome Victor’s powerful evasive skill before he committed to a big powerful move again, or else even with all of this power and strength that was coursing through him, he would lose the battle.

Bill continued to change tactics and fighting style even incorporating his own wind ability to try and throw off Victor’s perception and skill, but nothing worked as Victor was making a fool out of him and enraging him even more.

“What’s wrong… all tuckered out?” Victor taunted once again after he dodged another set of rapid punches and blew Bill back using a strong gust of wind.

Seeing that sinister smile and arrogance on Victor’s face even after everything Bill had done was simply gut-wrenching for Bill as all of a sudden something just broke inside of him.

His rage, his hate, his anger, his emotion all had been welling up inside of him and continuing to rise which were fueling this form that he had taken right now with his sole purpose being to give Victor Voss the most gruesome and painful death possible and yet he wasn’t able to fulfill this task.

Unable to stop his emotions from overflowing at the sheer sight of Victor’s smug face, Bill’s brain completely shut off as he rushed towards him like a beast that had become berserk.

“That’s it…” Victor said as he prepared himself for the most powerful attack that Bill would launch at him before burning out completely. 𝘭𝑖𝒷𝓇𝘦𝘢𝒹.𝑐𝘰𝘮

Victor had been in this line of work for quite some time and by this time he had many experiences with many different opponents so he knew that every time an opponent would begin their strongest assault by becoming berserk and wild, it meant that they were nearing the limit of their energy and their body was launching a last-ditch attempt to defeat him.

Bill’s eyes looked like they had no irises as they appeared to be completely white as he dashed in wildly to launch his most powerful and fastest assault yet.

Bill’s aura itself began to materialize onto his hands as his hands became covered in the orange aura itself. With that, Bill began punching and kicking whilst also incorporating different Earth and Wind skills to become as unpredictable as possible and launch the greatest number of strikes at Victor with one of them bound to hit him, and that was all he needed, the initial strike.

Victor quickly began to dodge Bill’s final assault, this time creating as much distance between himself and Bill as possible at every chance he got because Bill was in fact coming too close to landing a strike on him.

Victor also used his Wind and Lightning abilities alongside his evasion tactics to counter some of Bill’s attacks to make it barely possible for him to be able to continue dodging Bill’s assault.

Of all the battles he had over the years, this was by far the closest fight he had ever fought in as a slight slip-up of any kind could spell his death, but he was managing to survive.

Bill on the other hand wasn’t going to back down as he would rather die than stop the assault and so he doubled down as he poured every single ounce of energy that his mutant gene provided to defeat Victor.

Victor braced himself for the final stretch before he would be able to finally taste victory in this battle.

However, unbeknownst to Victor, the guards he oh so trusted to take care of the remaining intruders had failed spectacularly on their job, and now just as Victor poured his full concentration and power to evade Bill’s final attack, Nathan and Erin appeared from behind him with their respective abilities charged up and ready to strike.
