Chapter 285 The Awakening & The End (Part 3)
Victor was so busy using every ounce of his power and strength to dodge Bill's final attack that he didn't even notice Erin and Nathan's loud footsteps as they approached him from behind, shocked by the scene they saw in front of them.
The once narrow tunnel was no more as now it felt like they had entered a large room that was full of debris and broken rock with two strong forces battling in the center.
It was too hard to make out what was happening with Nathan only being able to sense what the two of them were doing as even his perception was not high enough to actually witness the speed at which the two of them were clashing.n-.o(/v-/e/)l).b/-1//n
"He's a coward.." Nathan as he realized what was actually happening.
All the fierce and massive attacks that were completely covering the center of the tunnel were actually just Bill unleashing all of his power to destroy Victor, with Victor doing nothing but dodging as his life literally depended on his famous ability to dodge and evade.
"At this rate... he won't last long... Erin, listen to me and do exactly what I say, we may only get one shot at this!" Nathan said to Erin with determination.
Erin didn't really have a clue as to what was going on as even after activating her Mutant Gene, she was still not strong enough nor fast enough to sense or keep up with Bill's current state.
However, she knew what state Bill was mentally in after she was present when he had activated this form so she knew that he would do absolutely everything to kill Victor and so she believed in what Nathan was saying and listened closely to his plan.
"HA HA HA HA HA!" Victor continued to laugh maniacally while dodging all the different array of attacks that Bill consistently launched at him.
Bill felt like his arms were on fire and that they were going to tear themselves apart at any moment now, but he didn't dare stop the assault as he would rather die right now than live with the guilt that even with all this power, he still wasn't able to take his revenge and send Victor to the deepest pits of hell.
Eventually, both of them began slowly down as the intensity of Bill's attacks began to reduce and it made it a bit easier for Victor to continue to dodge them; although he was also closing into his stamina limit and wouldn't last much longer so he was glad that Bill was finally running on fumes and that this would all be over soon.
Slowly, the intensity of the attacks began to reduce further and further and finally, Nathan was able to make out the two figures of Bill and Victor as they were coming to a stop after using their full abilities for such a long time.
Victor was in extreme pain as the bullets tore through his defense and entered his body but the real pain was only going to begin as the bullets inflicted Victor with the "Frozen" status effect, slowing down his agility significantly and adding the final touch a number of super concentrated explosion erupted from the ground where Victor was standing, blasting him into the air.
Bill stopped his assault as he observed Victor finally getting hit, unaware that it was actually Erin and Nathan who dealt that damage. Steam was coming off Bill's body as his body worked on healing itself quickly.
Victor was unconscious for a couple of seconds as his body got flung up into the air from the massive explosion. He was in an intense amount of pain and as he fell through the air, he felt himself a lot lighter than before which was quite confusing.
As he regained more and more of his conscience, his confusion turned into horror as he realized that he couldn't feel his legs.
This was because Victor no longer had any legs from the knee down. While Nathan had asked Erin to conjure ice bullets, Nathan had been concentrating his aura into as condense of an explosion that his body would allow to produce and that resulted in Victor's legs getting blasted clean off his body.
"AHHHH!!!" Victor screamed in agony as the pain was even greater than before.
However, his cries and screams did not affect Bill whose skin had already been healed and his tattoos were resonating with energy once again for one last final strike.
Victor noticed Bill's aura building once again as he crashed back face-first into the ground and knew that this would be the end for him if he didn't do anything as he could no longer dodge him.
Bill's feet crushed the ground beneath his feet as if it were made out of jelly while he charged up his attack before launching himself forward towards Victor at an insane speed.
Victor quickly deactivated his wind ability and switched to his second strongest ability which was now his only hope of surviving this onslaught.
Bill's terrifying fist collided with Victor's face as his body got launched to the left, hitting the wall with such an intense force that a huge chunk of the wall broke with Victor embedded within and shockwaves that traveled through the underground hideout.
The punch looked like it had finished the job, but Bill knew that wasn't the case as right now when he punched Victor, his face was the hardest thing he had ever struck.
"The hardening ability!" Bill cursed as he realized what Victor had done.
