Chapter 870: Burning fires, burning stones (1)

Erik didn’t waste time and absorbed Shade’s brain crystal power. That was for sure bound to be useful.

After he was done, Erik and June stood over Shade’s body.

Erik looked at Shade’s… no Norman Hais’s dead body. He bore a deep resemblance to his brother, Martin.

It was ironic, some years ago, he killed the private investigator, who threatened to reveal to the world he had multiple Brain Crystal Powers.

Now, years after, he killed his brother, to whom Erik didn’t make any mystery about his abilities.

What was also surprising was that both of them were smart, to a frightening level even.

But while Martin’s intelligence was boosted by his brain crystal power, Norman was purely his.

“What a pity.”

Erik imagined what could he and his brother have done to society, if only they chose the right path. freeweɓnovēl.coɱ

Martin was wasted as a private investigator, while Norman used his skills to make havoc.

“Master…” June called for him, and Erik turned, he looked at the surrounding situation, and wasn’t pleased.

The Band of Giants was suffering heavy casualties. There were too many gang members around who, for some weird reason, kept fighting as if their lives depended on that.

Their boss was dead. No, it wasn’t just that. Their entire network had been destroyed.

Erik made sure that no one survived inside the town hall. There was not a single gang leader still alive.

Those guys came not only from Frant, or Etrium, but from Hin, Prare, Reraiaph, Khunelerp and Miciselen.

What Erik did wasn’t just killing Shade. He cut the head of the whole underworld around the world in one fell swoop.

Naturally, new lords of the underworld would emerge. The blackguards were poised to fill the void left by their predecessors swiftly. Yet, the spectacle of the gang members in combat struck him as quite peculiar, since they had nothing to fight for anymore.

Rebecca and Laria arrived in front of him. They were battered and tired.

There was a huge cut on Rebecca’s shoulder, while Laria was tired and had some cuts on her -chest.

“Are you done?” Laria asked.

“All done.”

“Then I will give the order to retreat. You should start heading back. You fought a lot today.”

However, Erik looked at Rebecca. She was worried about her mother’s mercenaries. She didn’t know all of them, but she knew most.

The two looked each other in the eyes. Erik wanted to take on Laria’s suggestion, but… he didn’t.

“No,” he said. “I will stall these guys until all your soldiers retreat.”

Rebecca said nothing. There was a mix of emotions in her eyes, from relief to worry.

“Are you crazy?” Rebecca said.

“I’m hearing this a lot lately.” He turned to Laria. “Just do as I say.”

He then turned to look at his clone. “June, can you do this?”

June didn’t fight that much, and he had enough energy to spare.

Though these guys were not weak, they were almost at his level.

June had been created when Erik had around 220 strength points, meaning he was reaching his limit.

Or better, he was reaching the point where he was not overwhelmingly strong anymore. “I will do what I can, Master.”

Laria listened to the exchange while the circle around the town hall was shrinking, with more and more band of giant members dying, albeit killing five or four people each in the process.

Something in Erik’s confident demeanor must have convinced her, because she agreed. “All right. I will give you thirty seconds. Then you are on your own.”

Erik nodded.

<June, prepare to defend me. System, show me how much Mana I have left. >

MANA: 5049/13470

<That’s roughly 37% of my total amount of mana. This will be hard. >

The thirty seconds Laria talked about were already ticking, but Erik didn’t waste any time. He started channeling mana, while June turned into a Wyvern.

The sight of the gigantic creature scared some of the gang members, but most were unfazed.

They were like in a frenzy, maybe under the effect of some brain crystal power. That would have made sense.

Since some of the gang members started fleeing, the pressure on the band of giants eased.

Some of the members already lost the scene, most of them had been already wounded too much to be useful in a fight. Some remained, though.

“5.”

“4.”

“3 seconds Erik!”

“2.”

“1. RETREAT!” Laria said. His soldiers had heard her shout, because immediately, the band of giants started leaving the area.

Some turning invisible, some even flying, most simply running.

It was a chaotic scene, and it would have been scary for some in June’s and Erik’s situation.

In fact, since the band of giants was leaving, the focus of the remaining gang members turned

all to Erik.

They rushed toward him with murderous looks. There was only one goal in their mind: to kill. Not even June’s wyvern look was enough to scare all of them.

Maybe these guys were desperate, maybe something affected their minds, maybe they thought that with their numbers, they could kill a wyvern. Still thousands of people rushed at

him.

June swung his tail, killing some of the gang members, but that form didn’t increase his base strength a lot. It increased his weight, and the strength he exerted was amplified, but it was all because of mass.

But June wasn’t facing normal people, he was facing men and women with a level of strength comparable to his.

He didn’t have wyvern’s flames; he didn’t have fancy brain crystal powers that allowed him to use mana to create devastating effects.

June was a powerful beast, and his powers came from his body, but he wasn’t more than that, a beast who didn’t posses a brain crystal.

Blood spilled around him. He crushed, bit and clawed, but the sea of people didn’t decrease.

June turned on his biological armor, a gift he got when Erik merged the biomantic armor into the power that gave him life.

The armor was sturdy and very resistant, but there wasn’t much it could do to prevent damage from accumulating on his body.

However, it could also be used to create spikes, which the clone employed to impale the

enemy.

Though Erik couldn’t see it, but June was in trouble, and the sea of people was coming closer

to him.

Now, the clone was struggling, was full of wounds, and wasn’t able to contain the gang

members anymore.
