Chapter 1107: Levium (24)

Erik sent a web of lightning toward Levium. Though the man moved the metal poles that once composed the surrounding buildings’ columns in front of him and absorbed the attacks.

The lightning, upon striking the metal poles, created a brilliant display of electrical arcs and sparks, illuminating the battlefield.

The electrical arcs zapped from pole to pole, which Levium then hurled towards Erik. The young man swiftly dodged, evading the bizarre projectile as it crashed to the ground.

“That was dangerous.”

Buildings crumbled as stray attacks hit them. The ground beneath them cracked and split, fissures spreading out like a spider’s web.

Soldiers on both sides took cover. They realized how dangerous it was to be near such a powerful battle. Levium was still keeping his soldiers floating around, but was starting to send them to the ground.

He couldn’t keep up with Erik while keeping the soldiers in the sky. Erik wasn’t giving him a chance.

The young man shattered a projectile with a well-timed blast from his Force Bastion brain crystal power.

That was a last resort move, though, because Erik wanted to avoid the strike but had been unable to.

Uncle Benjamin closed the distance between them, his knee driving into Erik’s armored solar plexus.

The strike was strong enough to leave Erik’s lungs without air.

He plummeted several feet before regaining control, gasping for breath. Uncle Benjamin pressed his advantage, raining down debris from above. They reached an incredible speed.

Erik raised his arms and a huge ice shield appeared in front of him. He dissipated most of the energy those debris had, but they still ended up shattering the ice wall.

The debris shattered into smaller fragments, violently pelting Erik’s body. Each impact sent shockwaves of pain coursing through his muscles and bones, resonating through his entire frame.

The sheer intensity of the barrage felt like being repeatedly struck by bullets or golf clubs, depending on the projectile size.

Even his Force Bastion brain crystal power struggled to fully shield him from the onslaught. “Shit! This is painful!”

But the self-healing brain crystal power quickly fixed his injuries.

Erik analyzed Uncle Benjamin’s attack patterns, looking for any hint of predictability. There had to be a weakness, some flaw in the man’s seemingly perfect defense.

Erik endured the punishing blows, then sent a massive gust of wind toward the opponent. That further reduced the debris speed and power.

Then he hurled massive blocks of ice, which exploded on impact with the concrete and metal Uncle Benjamin was sending his way.

Ice met concrete and metal; the energy was enough to shatter the ice.

The ice shattered into a million glittering shards, and the concrete, unable to withstand the impact, crumbled and pulverized into a fine, choking dust that billowed outward in thick clouds.

The intense heat generated by the collision caused the metal to glow red hot, its edges softening and warping as it melted.

A thunderous boom resulted from this, and the debris showered the area with shards and dust. A frigid mist obscured the combatants as the vapor increased.

The debris fell down in a treacherous hailstorm as shockwaves rippled through the air, further destabilizing nearby structures.

Erik, at that point, regained his balance and flew toward the man. He was fast. His wings were powered by his strength, so it wasn’t easy to follow him.

But Uncle Benjamin had the Parallel will, brain crystal power, and massive dexterity, which made his reflexes faster, and his ability to keep up with Erik was incomparable to that of his soldiers.

If for the others Erik basically teleported, for Levium he was simply moving fast, albeit inhumanly fast. He saw him rocketing toward the sky and prepared another debris barrier.

Erik channeled more mana. He was hell bent on destroying Levium’s creation and killing the man. The problem was that to do it; he needed the strength generated by his Force Bastion brain crystal power.

So, he made mana freely flow through his neural links.

Once he was below the shield of debris, Erik punched. The shockwave pulverized and

dispersed the shield, but he lost a lot of momentum.

Though Erik pierced Levium’s defenses and entered the area between him and the barrier the blackguard made, which he shattered.

Erik threw another punch, this time landing on Uncle Benjamin’s chin. The man would have been dead if he didn’t create another, smaller shield in front of his face.

Uncle Benjamin’s reflexes were nothing short of extraordinary. In the split second between Erik’s attack and impact, his mind processed what was happening, allowing him to create a shield with inhuman speed and precision.

Though a punch from Erik was a certain death sentence. The shield almost completely dissipated the strength behind Erik’s punch, but couldn’t do it fully.

The blow caught Uncle Benjamin squarely on the chin. His head snapped back, eyes glazing over for a split second. Erik pressed his advantage, unleashing a flurry of strikes to the older man’s midsection. His main brain was filled with pain, but his parallel will allow him to still keep up with the situation and create shield after shield.

Some shields shattered after having dissipated the power behind the blow. Some withstood Erik’s attack since Levium packed the shields with more mana to block those blows he considered life-threatening, even with reduced strength.

His recovery was swift. He snarled, his eyes blazing with mad fury. A crazy smile plastered on his face. The surrounding air shimmered as he channeled his mana into his telekinetic brain

crystal power.

Suddenly, Erik found himself besieged from all sides. Levium had just transformed the battlefield into a maelstrom of deadly projectiles.

Chunks of concrete, twisted shards of metal, fragments of shattered glass, and even the weapons of the blackguards that got killed during the fight hurtled towards Erik at terrifying

speed.

The air itself seemed to have turned against the young man, becoming a swirling vortex of debris and imminent danger.

Erik’s reflexes were pushed to their absolute limit as he spun, twisted, and dodged.

Sweat beaded on his brow as he fought to stay free from the onslaught. He frequently sent wind blades and ice bullets to attack, but Levium was as strong as him in a battle of brain

crystal powers.

The sky darkened. At that point, the Chimaeric Demons, the other blackguards, and their allies got as far away from that battle as possible, but that didn’t mean they stopped fighting.

As for Erik, he also created shields as much as Uncle Benjamin did. However, without the ground acting as support, they were not really easy to use. In fact, Erik had to create them at the best possible second.

Despite his best efforts, not every attack could be avoided. A piece of rebar caught him across

the back.

The impact sent a searing line of fire across his skin, drawing a grunt of pain from Erik’s lips.

“I’ll kill you, Levium!”
