Chapter 790 Escape (4)
As soon as Erik got on his feet again, Inkblade's inky iron maiden sprouted again.
Erik barely had the time to avoid being trapped into the deadly construct. by diving on his left.
Then Dreadnought came like a freight train and tried to punch the young man.
Erik already got his back at the wall, but he ducked and punched Dreadnought in her midsection, making her fly 20 meters back.
Stickyfingers, trying to take advantage of Erik's precarious stance, threw again the net-balls after having placed the same sticky substance her brain crystal power produced onto it.
She was hoping to trap Erik again and this time gain an advantage.
However, the young man activated both Hais' and the instability brain crystal powers.
The second allowed him to sense not only what Stickyfingers was trying to do but also that Momentum, the team's leader, was channeling mana in order to reverse his inertia.
If Erik planned on moving forward, Momentum's brain crystal power would make him move backward.
It was a weird power, not very easy to use, but very problematic in a fight.
If Erik's movements were disrupted, his situation would only grow direr.
However, knowing this, instead of going forward, the young man tried to move left, but as a result, he ended up going right.
That allowed him to avoid not only the net but also take advantage of Momentum's power to get out of his predicament.
Though, Shadowstalker was already hopping through the shadows and was going to attack Erik.
The young man knew that thanks to his powers. Hais brain crystal power allowed him to see the battlefield more clearly, and noticing the subtle hints of movement, his instability power didn't allow him to see.
Since his thought speed increased a lot, he quickly realized that, to take advantage of the situation, he had to disrupt Momentum's power.
For that reason, he conjured another wind blade. Erik then turned behind, knowing Momentum's power was still in effect.
June nodded.
When the elevator stopped and the doors opened, Erik dashed through the labyrinth of corridors, heading for the exit.
At the same time, the Blackguards reached the same floor and began their pursuit toward the exit.
Both parties, Erik and the Blackguards, navigated the building at a breakneck speed, but Erik was faster.
A grim scene unfolded before their eyes as they both went through the corridors.
The hallways were littered with the bodies of guards, casualties in the clones' escape.
The guards were strewn haphazardly across the floor, a testifying a battle that went on in the background as Erik faced the Blackguards.
The clones had overcome significant resistance, leaving behind a trail of death that now lay in the path of both Erik and his pursuers.
The young man eventually arrived at the exit door, the gateway to the colossal structure he went through the first time he entered the city.
It bore a striking resemblance to the other similar gates across the country, especially so for that in Testrovsc's Rest.
Crossing the threshold, he found himself amid an arsenal of combat vehicles and artillery weapons—typical equipment for mercenaries embarking on their hunting expeditions.
However, he had the inkling those vehicles and artillery were brain crystal weapons.
Erik didn't let himself get distracted by what he was seeing.
He maneuvered through the mechanical labyrinth, with the nimbleness of a monkey swinging through a forest canopy.
After traversing this maze of warfare machinery, Erik emerged into the open.
He had reached the outside, leaving behind the confines and dangers of the guarded structure.
However, he wasn't done. He needed to reach June to escape from that damned city, as the Blackguards were on his tail, and based on what they showed, they were capable of killing him.
