battlefield. I can't keep fighting like this, and I can't completely unleash my power if I have to keep you safe.>
[LEVEL UP.]
Erik kept killing during the entire conversation.
Thought-conversations were much faster than normal ones. This whole discussion was happening in a couple of seconds.
Erik kept dashing around, but the fight was becoming harder since Volkov was figuring out how to counter the mist and Erik's invisibility.
Richard was seriously thinking Erik was crazy, especially because the illusions within the base were still keeping the blackguards inside away from here. Those thoughts, of course, went to him.
With that, Erik made the illusions and took off his invisibility, but the mist became much stronger than before.
The effect of Erik's invisibility dissipated, and he became fully visible to the blackguards. In an instant, pandemonium erupted on the battlefield.
"There he is!" Volkov said. His shout directed all the attention toward the man. Lightning crackled as Volkov summoned another bolt, aiming for Erik.
Erik's muscles tensed, and he leapt to the side. The lightning bolt struck the pillar of ice behind which Erik hid.
Zakir didn't wait, either. His tendrils lashed out. He wanted to snare Erik and get his revenge for the humiliation he faced three years before.
"Fuck."
He channeled mana again, and then he made some new ones, but his mana dwindled. Volkov looked at him with fury blazing in his eyes.
Zakir lunged at him again, his tendrils extending.
Erik jumped, flipping over the tendrils, and landed in a crouch, hurrying to avoid the next
attack.
His instability brain crystal power flared because he heard the thoughts of a blackguard coming from the inside of the prison.
That distracted him a little, because a blackguard he didn't notice swung an axe at him, and he ducked, the heavy blade burying itself in the ground. Though, he almost got hit.
Erik then sidestepped a spear thrust, then kicked the weapon from the guard's hand. A tendril whipped toward his face, and he leaned back, feeling the rush of air as it missed him.
Erik's heart pounded as he evaded another lightning strike, then spun to avoid a pair of blackguards who tried to flank him.
He kicked one in the chest, sending him crashing into his comrades.
"GET HIIIIM!"
Erik turned to look at Richard. He was having too much trouble getting out.
"Shit!" Erik channeled mana again and increased the amount of mist inside the courtyard. Visibility was almost zero at that point.
He heard a frustrated roar from Volkov as another lightning strike was absorbed by an ice
pillar the man didn't see.
"FINALLY!"
