Now or Never!
Nika creased his brow and thought for a moment but couldn't understand what he meant. Just then, something unimaginable happened.
Lola was waiting for the response of the two when Robert sent a powerful strike toward her chest.
What!
Ah!
A sharp cry echoed from Lola's mouth as she was sent flying. She crashed into the pool of running water, dying the water in red. For a couple of seconds, everyone was stunned and only a couple of people realized what was happening.
The Genesis soldier stared at Robert with puzzles written all over their faces while Nika from the distance had his heart skip a beat.
'How can this happen?!' Nika cried in his heart as he tried to rush back at his top speed. Unfortunately, there was someone who wouldn't allow that.
"Where do you think you're going?" The commander with an evil smile on his face as he jumped out from the deep crater. Even though he was covered in blood; he was excited by the turn of events.
"Stay down for me…" He shouted, sending a powerful punch covered in mist as the three golden circles hovering above his head shone with bright light.
Seeing the incoming punch, Nika halted on his track and looked at the commander with fury all over his face.
"Just die"
Whoosh!
Bang!
Even though he didn't have an innate ability, his tyrant physique had made up for it, making him one of the deadliest people in close combat. Their punch collided, forcing both of them back. The commander retreated more than 100 steps while Nika only took three steps.
Nika's blood was boiling from anger as he dashed toward the commander, giving him no chance to recover from the aftershock.
When he appeared in front of him, the heavenly mark on his forehead lit up while the pressure coming from his body doubled.
'What the hell?!' The commander screamed in his heart as he tried to retreat further. Unfortunately, it was too late.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
A series of punches landed on the man forcing him to scream in agony. Blood splashed out of his mouth and the sound of his ribs shattering into pieces was a heavenly melody to Nika's ear.
Meanwhile, on the side. The Genesis team was trying to hang on to their life under the continuous onslaught from Mack, Robert, and his men.
The savage looking couldn't let go of the chance as they increased their power, going all out. In a couple of seconds, half of the team had been killed.
"Mack… Robert. Why are you doing all this…" A man said as he defended an attack from Mack's men.
Hahaha!
"I won't mind telling you?" Mack responded as he kill another person from the Genesis team. He looked at the man with a satisfying smile on his face.
"Under Justin's tyranny, what do you expect? He abuses his power and treats people like dirt. Who is he? A nobody?" He said with indignation. "I'm the son of the most decorated General. He…" He turned in Robert's direction. "He is the son of the most famous tech company owner." He paused to take a deep breath and also to kill a few that were still resisting.
"Do you know? He killed Isla without batting an eye? Isla was the daughter of the current president. But for what?" He looked at the man. "Just because he was a bit stronger than us… He treats us like we're nobody…."
"Without us, he would be nothing." He said as his voice raised an octave. "But now, we're free. After we leave this forsaken place, we create a paradise for humans to live in. Surrender and join us" He said righteously.
Hahaha.
Ah!
He laughed with all his strength, forcing some of his injuries to relapse. Yet, he didn't care as he looked at Mack, Robert, and their team like a bunch of fools.
"If I didn't know better. I will have been deceived by your righteous talk…. But I can see past your facade…" The man paused and looked at the cracks on his shield. 'It can't hold for much longer…. We need to report to the Ark.'
With that thought, he looked into the distance as he saw Nika pummeling the commander in a barrage of punches. He knew Nika wanted to rush back to save them but the commander was obstructing his way.
Thus, he needed to kill him first and by the time he returned the possibility of them being alive would be nothing.
"Send two of our fastest soldiers to deliver the report back to the ark" He whispered to the man beside him.
Hearing this, the man wiped off the blood coming from the corner of his mouth and nodded. Quickly, he passed the order. Shortly, a man and woman stood at the center of their last defense waiting for the right opportunity to escape.
Meanwhile, the temporary leader of the group resumes his conversation with Mack. "You and your team are just selfish assholes. You're kids without your parents' power and influence are nothing…. Look at you, an ordinary First Circle Existence, and Robert, a Second Circle. With all the resources on the ark, if you're not trash and cry babies who else would it be."
Hearing this, Mack and Robert's expression darkened. "You…" Mark pointed his finger at him with his mouth open.
"What!" The man smirked.
Just then, two silhouettes bolted out of the encampment at their fastest speed.
"Do you think we're fools by your talking?" Mack responded with an evil smile. He looks in the direction of the two people as four of their men follow them.
"Now die!" Robert was still furious at the man's bullshit.
Just then, something appeared on the other side of the street. The land trembled vehemently and the continuous stream of water bubbled violently, making a disturbing sound.
What's happening? The same thought appeared in their minds.
Creak!
A massive beast appeared from the underground and looked at the human and made weird noises.
No!!!
The savage men cried in their hearts as blood vanished from their faces with their heart thumping, wanting to jump out of their chests.
