บท 342: The Chase (15)

While Erik was fighting against Simone, Floyd, and Gwen stood face-to-face with the thug possessing the power of super acceleration.

The young man's power to negate energy was a natural counter to the man, since he could slow him down, but since he had fewer neural links than the thug, it was clear the effect he had on the man wasn't that strong.

Gwen, clad in her mana armor, braced herself for the oncoming assault, as she was the one who had to actively fight the man while Floyd decreased his speed.

That made it so that the power imbalance between the girl and the thug was reduced.

The thug lunged forward, his speed still high despite Floyd's intervention. His weapon blurred in the air as he aimed to deliver devastating blows.

But Floyd's energy manipulation disrupted the flow of his movements, forcing him to contend with a fraction of his usual swiftness. It was enough for Gwen to react, her armor shielding her from the onslaught.
