Capítulo 51: Two vs fifteen (II)
Deep into the night, a large truck began to move out of a cave less than a day away from Rouk City. Despite its size, the vehicle made no noise and silently moved through the forest.
Two men were sitting in the cab. One was very old with a large scar over his left eye, while the other resembled a middle-aged man with dark hair. Unlike the elder's stoic expression, the younger smiled as he watched the trees passing by.
"You sure are relaxed. It is your fault that we need to move so fast. You could have incapacitated the guard but immediately went for the kill." The older man spoke harshly, but the middle-aged man kept smiling.
"Of course that I ended him. Although it was unlikely, he might have caught a glimpse of my face. Unlike you, I don't intend to waste my life as a lowly criminal. My only goal is to get enough resources to enter Level 4 and get a comfortable life as a guard in some Noble Family." The middle-aged man spoke mockingly and did not bother to hide his disdain.
"Haha, what family would hire someone with your taste as a guard." The old man's special emphasis on the word taste hinted there was a hidden meaning to it, and the cold reaction of the middle-aged man affirmed it.
"Hmph, I never leave evidence, and you should watch your mouth unless you want to become one."
A tense atmosphere formed between the duo as the middle-aged man issued that threat, but then, out of nowhere, their eyes widened as they felt a powerful aura coming to them.
Before the duo could do anything, a man covered in blade armor and enveloped in flames reached the truck's cab. And at the same time, another man with black scale armor attacked the trailer.
Cain used Light Boots' Burst and Kinetic Gauntlets' Kinetic Blast to achieve an immense speed and struck the truck's trailer with such strength that it deformed it. Levi's body was like a giant fireball that crashed with the cab at more than 400 km/h.
The cadets' military truck could have easily resisted an impact like that, but the criminal's truck was like a dried branch.
With Cain hitting it on the right and Levi on the left, the truck made an ugly sound before splitting in two. The trailer only rolled a few times, but Levi sent the cab holding the two Level 3 Wave Warriors flying away for almost twenty meters.
Levi and Cain glanced at each other briefly before flashing to their targets. The red-eyed youth had already decided to take care of both Level 3 Wave Warriors, and since both of them were in the cab working as lookouts, it made everything easier.
Cain was impressed by Levi's attack. The truck's cabin must weigh around fifteen tons, so one could imagine the strength behind that lunge for it to fly for more than a dozen meters.
Still, Cain did not let his thoughts wander and focused on the battle ahead. He jumped over the trailer and put his hands over its metallic surface before using Lightning Conversion.
The Astral Wave on Cain's bursting Wave Cloak transformed into lightning that soon spread inside the trailer. He did not contain at all and unleashed the full power of his skill while making sure the charge would not disperse in the ground.
Although the mission would end with a better score if they managed to trap the criminals alive, neither Cain nor Levi were naive enough to hold back during a life-and-death battle, especially when outnumbered.
"¡Boom!"
Cain's eyes narrowed as someone blasted the trailer's doors, and six figures flashed out from it. It was not a surprise for him that the Level 2 Essence Wave Warriors could make it, but it seemed that one of the eight at Level 1 managed to endure the crash and electric waves.
If the rest of the Level 1 Wave Warriors had the strength to fight, they would have left the trailer when the doors were busted open, so Cain stopped sending his lightning and flashed to the group.
Before any criminal could get over the shock and get used to the dark surroundings, Cain had already appeared among them. He sent a vicious punch to the throat of Level 2 Essence Wave Warrior with the highest stats.
The Level 2 Wave Warrior could not even scream, and if it weren't for his Wave Cloak, that attack would have broken his throat, drowning him in his own blood.
'One down, five to go.' That thought was the only one to cross Cain's mind as he saw the Essence Wave Warrior falling to the ground.
When the other criminals saw that, they immediately triggered Wave Burst to the maximum they could achieve and moved away from Cain.
An Essence Wave Warrior would always put some distance when fighting an Astral Wave Warrior. The criminals would then attempt to surround Cain before firing all their spells.
Their strategy was good, but they were too slow. Before the five Essence Wave Warriors could move more than twenty meters away, Cain used his Light Boots' Burst to reach the second strongest criminal.
The criminal was able to react this time, forming a cross with his arms before a layer of dense ice covered them.
Regular attacks would have required a few seconds to cross that cover, allowing the other criminals time to fire their spells.
However, Cain only sneered as his right Kinetic Gauntlet glowed, allowing him to fire a Kinetic Blast point-blank in the ice shield.
"Crack!"
The ice shield shattered, as did the bones in the Level 2 Wave Warrior's arms before being sent flying away.
'Two down.'
