บท 340: The Chase (13)

"If this is what you want to do, then you leave me no choice," Simone told Erik.

At that moment, the man lunged forward with his dagger, aiming for Erik's stomach. But the awakener was quick to parry the attack with his Flyssa.

The two men circled each other warily, waiting for an opening. However, this time, Erik didn't care anymore about hiding.

It was clear that Simone and his men knew his secret, and since some of his friends did too, it was useless to hide it anymore.

Holding back his powers didn't make any sense at that point, and he channeled mana through his multiple neural links.

Simone struck again, this time aiming for Erik's head. The young man sidestepped the attack and swung his Flyssa in a wide arc, but the thug was ready. He blocked the strike with his dagger, easily doing so thanks to his higher strength, then kicked Erik in the stomach, sending him stumbling backward.
