Chapter 1089: Levium (6)
The man swung his massive sword in a wide arc. Erik bent down and avoided the attack, but the man then unleashed a storm of slashes, giving Erik some trouble.
The man was not just strong; after all, that sword had to weigh a ton; he was also fast. Almost as fast as him.
That combination of speed and strength undoubtedly made the guy capable of ripping through Erik's armor as if it were paper.
It was a blackguard, after all, and these guys didn't have lame brain crystal powers, no matter how simple they might appear.
It was very likely that his native brain crystal power vastly increased his strength, and that was why, while the power was relatively simple, the blackguards got him into their organization.
Erik fought back. He didn't use weapons, simply because he didn't need them anymore. The only thing he needed were his armored fists and the effects of Nathaniel's power. Of course, after the merge, it was something completely new.
Powered up by the shockwaves he produced, he would kill the guy as easily as he could tear through his armor. The problem was that he was able to keep up with Erik in terms of speed.
Despite being big, the blackguard moved surprisingly well, always getting out of harm's way in the nick of time.
However, that also meant the man was probably burning his mana just to keep up with him.
Erik channeled mana through his Lightning Lord's neural links.

Erik wanted to conserve his mana, but guys like these were those Erik feared the most because they could render his speed useless or close to it.
Too bad Erik was not the same as he was three years prior. Almost all his brain crystal powers were powerful, and most importantly, they had a lot of neural links.
"Let's see if you can take this on, you motherfucker!"
A lightning bolt shot from Erik's fingers, cutting through the air with a loud crackle. The bright blue-white flash hit the blackguard head-on.
Sparks flew, flesh burned, and a body shivered.
As electricity coursed through him, the man lost control of his bladder and pissed himself. But the man didn't have the time to feel embarrassed because the shock was too much for him. He fell to the ground, dead and smoking from the intense electrical current.

charred bodies.
"STOP THE MONSTER!"
"KILL THE DEMON!"
Despite this, Erik found himself constantly on the defensive. The best he could do was
counterattack, or take advantage of those brief moments he gained, to kill those stupid enough to lose sight of him. But they weren't many.
"Shit! There are too many blackguards."
Their attacks became more dangerous as the fight went on, most likely because they were slowly finding a way to use their numbers to fight against him.
Until now, just random attacks landed on his armor because he failed to avoid them due to the
numbers. But if he kept fighting against these guys, he was going to start getting seriously
injured.
Erik heard the sound of footsteps approaching.
"Fuck! Their reinforcements arrived!"
New batches of enemy soldiers filled the area, turning his kills into a pointless waste of time. Eventually, there were even more new soldiers than there had been at the start of the fight.
Erik channeled more mana, this time into his Frostwind Fire Tempest brain crystal power. He created a dome of ice, and then, using his force bastion, he shattered it. Countless ice shards
flew at devastating speed towards those surrounding him.
[LEVEL UP.]
Dead bodies crumpled on the ground, but it was just the tip of the literal iceberg. The young man leaped into the air, and once more he shapeshifted into something hard to see, a bug.
He buzzed away from the carnage, seeking a new place from which to catch his breath and
plan his next move.
The system might have refilled his mana reserves, but his stamina and his mental strength
were starting to weaken.
The problem wasn't the strength of his enemies. He could mop the floor with them.
He had to avoid too many attacks; he had to use too much of his mana to keep his armor up and repair it when a blow landed on him, and that was very taxing.
The young man flew into a narrow alley, then he came out onto a wide street. Erik looked around with his insect eyes. He saw a place where he could rest for a couple of minutes and
darted there.
