Chapter 1088: Levium (5)
Erik was in a dire situation. He needed to make the blackguards focus on him rather than go searching for the Chimaeric Demon who left. After that, he would need to stall for long enough for his clones to get here.
The battle had stopped. Erik could only hear the loud buzzing of his own wings. He was flying so fast; he sounded like a tiny helicopter.
The blackguards had lost sight of him, but they were still there searching.
Most were on the ground, looking like tiny ants searching for bugs to bring back to their nest.
Searching every place with the Veritas Lenses, hoping to find him. But they were not searching there; they were also searching in the sky, kept afloat through Levium's powers.
Few people could fly by themselves. But Uncle Benjamin used his power to help many search the sky.
Erik was regretting a little having given it to the Chimaeric Demons, but at least it was serving its purpose well for them.
The clones were using it like Levium, too, but in a different way. They did it mostly to keep the battle they fought under control, to see attacks coming and avoid them, to think better and faster while not sacrificing their ability to think and focus on something else.
But Uncle Benjamin used it to boost his own brain crystal power.
Telekinesis was a rare power and not always powerful. There were many variants of it, like Mira's power, which was more leaning on the telekinesis side than on the wind one. But there were in between, like Ramon, the Band of Giant's member, who had a lesser version; he used to fight with multiple weapons at the same time. At least, that was what he said.
But Uncle Benjamin had a pure telekinesis power, one that allowed him to make everything fly.
Uncle Benjamin could control many objects at once, using them as weapons. He could create a storm of debris to attack enemies while staying completely safe.
He could throw cars or parts of buildings at his foes. He could also use small items like knives or metal pieces with great accuracy.
For defense, Uncle Benjamin could make shields out of floating debris to protect himself and others. He could also lift himself and others to move around better or escape danger, which was what he was doing. The problem was that those guys all had ranged brain crystal powers, meaning that he basically had flying artillery with him.
Uncle Benjamin was also great at changing the battlefield. He moved things around to make obstacles or clear paths and cleared his surrounding area to make it impossible for Erik to sneak upon him.
The power was already deadly as it was, but now, with the Parallel Will brain crystal power, while one brain focused on talking, breathing, moving, and thinking, the other focused on using just the ability.
That meant that if Uncle Benjamin could have had simultaneously used 10-30 items to attack before, with this new ability, he could use thousands.
Then he mentally grinned and then flew towards them. Mid-flight, he turned human again, startling the blackguards.
By the time they realized what was happening, it was already too late. Erik landed among them, his body once again human, albeit naked. His Force Bastion's armor materialized around him in less than a second, encasing him in a shell of mana-powered metal.
But the blackguards and their allies were not your run-of-the-mill fighters. In fact, despite not having prepared in time, they reacted relatively fast, considering the situation. Their powers flaring to life.
Among the blackguards, there was a guy that looked as big as an ox, and judging by the size of the sword he was wielding, he must have been as fast as that. But despite the enormous size, the guy was quick to absurd levels based on how he got distance from him.
But he wasn't the only one there. With him, there were people with ranged brain crystal powers of all kinds. The nastiest powers of them all were ranged.
Erik didn't exactly land among them, and even if he did, the blackguards created enough distance between him and them, enough for the ranged fighters to launch an attack.
But Erik was faster than them, his physical strength at least partially offsetting their mana
and number advantages.
In truth, compared to the average Joe, Erik now had much more mana than them. In truth, he could say to also being among the ones with the most mana at all.
Even if individually everyone had less mana than him, their numbers made it possible for them to barrage Erik with attacks as if he were fighting against a guy with an insane amount of mana. Even more than that, to be honest.
He lashed out with a blast of force coming from his Force Bastion brain crystal power, making at least 20 of the enemy soldiers explode because of the shock, sending a dozen flying backwards, their bodies crashing into the rubble with sickening crunches, and stopping every
attack raining on him.
"Too easy..."
But the attacks kept coming. A huge fireball, hot enough to melt metal, flew at Erik very fast. He didn't seem worried at all, though.
With a punch coated in wind and ice, he knocked the fireball away. The fire disappeared when
it hit his armor. Without leaving a mark. But Erik didn't like that, not because he couldn't stop
the attack, but because he couldn't avoid it.
Then the ox guy arrived.
