Chapter 48 MC(main character) fights MCs(mind controllers)

Checking the cost to fix any with biomatter control and... Yep, insanely expensive to fix to the point it would be impossible until it reached the second rank at minimum. The cost to send him into a coma was there as well or start to slow or even reverse the effects. That was much cheaper but still out of my budget especially for a nobody like him.

A mental jolt to shock him out of mind control was possible but it also told me other ways to break someone out of it. He was already unconscious but surprisingly he was affected by a stronger compulsion that wouldn’t break from just that. I warned them both. “To break the mind control on him I’m going to need to strangle him to death then resuscitate him. I hope neither of you have a problem with that as I want to find out who is behind this sooner-.”

I lifted him up and put him in a headlock. I didn’t squeeze too hard as I had superhuman strength and snapping his neck would have been a step too far. After holding his neck for long enough I felt life leave him. As if understanding that I had no plans of leaving him like that I didn’t gain any skills or powers from him.

I didn’t feel like performing CPR on him so I cast. “Etaticsuser.” He took in a deep gasping breath as he regained consciousness. I smiled as I looked down at him. I completely forgot I was wearing a plague doctor outfit as I said. “Welcome back to the land of the living. Got a quick question for you. You know who mind controlled you?”

He looked confused at first then his expression changed to fear, then to anger. He gritted his teeth as he spoke. “Damn 100 fucker. Go-” I picked him up as I heard the sound of a gun being fired and placed him in the path. The next moment I’m engulfed in an explosion as the grenade launcher round slammed into him.

Both were still shell shocked as one of the mind controlled men fired at Stephanie’s shield. It wasn’t a big strain on her but if four or five were firing at once it would drain her fast enough to maybe break the shield. I called out to them. “This is too much! We got to regroup outside and see who’s leading them after getting back up.”

I grabbed Cass and Steph before ducking behind one of the desks in the lobby of this bank. “Port us out, I don't have the mana for it.” Steph looked panicked before asking. “W-where?” “Anywhere else we can portal back.” A half dozen men began to fire at the desk but they were fairly sturdy with a chunk of concrete in the center covered by wood.

A second later a portal opens up and we’re dumped into the alleyway in Paris as we catch our breaths. Both girls were getting calls and I could hear Batman yelling at them out of fear as we just fled the scene. “Are you okay!? What happened!?” I could hear the engine of his vehicle as he drove.

“Mad Hatter tried to rob a bank but he was mind controlled by someone else. We left as the other mind controller showed up and started having his men fire on us.” Steph said with a shaky voice. She was an experienced crime fighter but that wasn’t really a fight. That was more of a warzone than anything she had dealt with.
