Chapter 870: Waiting
— Khe-khe-khe... Frenda Savelun leaned against the wall and coughed.
Blood dripped through her fingers.
— Savelun, retreat first, " Kinuhata Saiya said.
— All right, " Frenda Savelun replied, and immediately turned around and ran away.
— Shizuri Mugino, who was standing at the front, was very displeased. Not only was Frenda Savelun injured, but she could clearly hear snuffling in her earphones right now.
This sniff was made by Takitsubo Riko, the fourth member of the ITEM organization. Previously, she had blocked the main damage from Su Xiao's aura with her 'Change' skill. The moment Su Xiao released her aura, it affected her and made her not dangerous, but for this, she had to take special crystals, "Body Crystal". They significantly enhanced the esper's abilities, but they could drive him crazy or lead to a complete loss of control..
This time, because of too much interference, she just fell asleep.
These crystals weren't even close to being a good thing. Their constant use could lead to brain damage, plus severe pain throughout the body. Long-term use of such crystals could even lead to the esper becoming a vegetable in the end. In more serious cases, they could just kill the person.
In the first encounter, two of the four members of ITEM were knocked out of action. This may have looked like a very bad development, but it wasn't. Takitsubo Riko was only responsible for finding and determining the exact location of the target. They'd found the target, so she'd done her part perfectly, and it didn't matter if she was out of action or not.
As for Frenda Seiwelun, she mainly used explosives and tied up opponents in close combat, because she had quite good strength, but if she started to fight head-on with Su Xiao, she would definitely end up dying.
And now Frenda Savelun didn't actually run away, but went off to plant bombs.
ITEM's main strike force consisted of Shizuri Mugino and Kinuhata Saiya, the former being a ranged fighter and the latter a melee fighter.
— It's going to be hard, " Saya said, and stood in front of Shizuri Mugino.
Mugina was dumbfounded for a moment, and then a look of rage crossed her face. — Stand back and let me fight.
— You're no match for him, Mugina.
— Shizuri Mugina's expression turned a little strange, and her eyes filled with murderous intent.
— I'm serious, and I'm going to use everything to kill him, " Saya said and took out a small box.
— You're sure I won't kill you... With a sigh, the rage disappeared from Shizuri Mugino's face, but now her expression was very cold. "You.".. Do you want to die?
— No, he will be very difficult to deal with. Mugina, did you notice? He wasn't even serious.
Hearing Saya's words, Shizuri Mugino looked at Su Xiao.
Right now, Su Xiao wasn't even looking at the two of them, but was looking away.
— A green ball the size of a fist immediately appeared above Shizuri Mugino's head, and a green ray of light shot out from that ball a moment later. This ray was called the "Splitting Ray" and had tremendous destructive power.
In just an instant, the beam was directly in front of Su Xiao, but it hit a light blue energy shield that appeared out of nowhere.
With a roar, green light particles flew out in all directions. The walls and asphalt with the ground, hit by particles of this green light, immediately began to melt right before our eyes.
Despite the head-on skirmish, only cracks appeared on the 200 mana shield, but the beam didn't disappear anywhere. Like an endless laser, it continued to press down on the shield.
*Crack-crack-crack...*
The cracks on the energy shield became more and more numerous, and the shield itself began to blink.
A second later, the energy shield began to collapse inch by inch.
Su Xiao, on the other hand, used the energy shield as a buffer and calmly jumped to the side.
He expected some reaction from the observer. He had already demonstrated his strength, and he didn't believe that he would continue to sit still and watch as they slowly destroyed the city.
Su Xiao's goal wasn't to kill anyone, but to complete the task as quickly as possible to increase his rank. That was the most important thing for him right now. If he fails this mission, he will not be able to survive the penalty, as all his stats will drop by 10 points. Of course, he would be able to survive something like this if his luck wasn't affected, but even with the lighter bonus, if he failed the quest, his luck would break through the bottom and reach the minus eight point mark. With such luck, he would most likely die choking on his saliva.
Aleister Crowley was very strong, and Su Xiao was well aware of his own strength. Right now, since he was in Academy City, if he didn't reach a consensus with him and continued to act arbitrarily in Academy City, a city that was completely viewed by one of the strongest people in this world, it would be nothing more than a particularly perverted suicide.
Su Xiao could tell that more than 80% of the contractors would immediately run away from this city as soon as they realized that they had entered it, unless their assignment required them to be present in Academy City.
But Su Xiao couldn't leave. The goal of his mission was located in this place. Right now, he only had one option.
If Aleister Crowley was a member of an evil faction, Su Xiao would be able to easily join it. Given his aura, the villain faction would welcome him with open arms.
But the problem was that Aleister Crowley was more likely to be in a semi-neutral camp. He had no concept of right and wrong. Those who were valuable to him lived, and those who ceased to be useful to him were eliminated.
And right now, Su Xiao was obviously one of those people who were considered very valuable in his eyes, especially if he demonstrated his abilities not only in terms of ordinary strength, but also in alchemy.
Su Xiao gained the trust of many factions through his alchemy, including the" World Government "from the world of "Wang Peace", the "Akatsuki" organization from the world of "Naruto".»...
— Where are you looking! Shizuri shouted to Mugino, and several more green balls immediately appeared next to her.
Another pair of beams shot towards Su Xiao.
Su Xiao frowned, Shizuri Mugino was hard to deal with. Her ability to control electrons was very strong. This ability didn't spend much strength, had great power, and wasn't weak in defense.
And Qing Gang Yin's energy couldn't destroy her ability, because her ability wasn't some kind of energy, but a physical phenomenon, which, although it looked extremely unscientific.
Dozens of hexagonal energy shields appeared next to Su Xiao. They formed a circle around him.
*Boom-boom!*
Thick smoke spread out in the surrounding area, and Su Xiao himself was pushed back by the powerful impact.
He stopped and shrugged. "Still don't want to go out?" It looks like I have to kill someone, but which one is it? Maybe this bitch? Su Xiao Yi asked and narrowed his eyes, and his aura changed abruptly.
Seeing Su Xiao's fierce gaze, Kinuhata Saiya felt a slight bitterness. She didn't mind just waiting and didn't see the point of attacking him. Why would they provoke him at such a time? The wisest decision was to just wait for reinforcements.
But now they had no choice. Now she will definitely have to use " Super Power».
— Mugina, please step back.
Previously, Saya wouldn't have dared to say this because Mugina wouldn't have gone to meet her, but now, she actually took a few steps back.
One day, she saw Saya use "Super Power". It was indeed a very powerful move, but it had its own serious side effects. If she used it more than a couple of times in a year, not only would her life force be severely depleted, but her superpower might also suffer greatly.
To them, the weakening of a superpower was practically equivalent to death.
— It's been eight months since I last used it, so it should probably be fine, " Kinuhata Saiya said, and opened a small container the size of a matchbox, emptied all the crystals into her mouth, and started chewing. "What a strange taste.
The girl's eyes immediately turned bloodshot, but other than that, there was no other visible change.
