Free Web NovelChapter 133: Chapter 132 - Battle at the Lotus Tower(Part 3)
Point-of-View: X
———————————————————————————
What a disaster of a mess this is turning out to be...we’d been hiding a fair distance away from the Lotus Tower, when Lucifer began killing everyone around the tower.
Naturally, we weren’t going to jump in and interfere with that, that’d be suicide. And that’s when ten Meta-Humans suddenly jumped us and fired out a bunch of attacks at us, which then resulted in a nearby gas tank exploding.
Trevor and I had come here along with three Category 1s, and, uh...all three of them were already dead. The two of us had managed to kill seven of the ten Meta-Humans, who all seemed to be at about Category 2 level.
"Tch, what a nuisance this is," Growled Trevor, firing out a narrow beam of flames and killing one of the remaining three, as I shot towards one of them, activating my Nullification as he began to charge up a lightning bolt, before leaping at him and jamming a dagger through his forehead, killing him.
"Yeah, well, at least these guys are all weak as hell. Better than fighting a Fallen Angel, if nothing else," I pointed out, as Trevor fired out a water slash as the last one, who had begun to run away, before being sliced in half. ƒreewebɳovel.com
"Was that the last of them? Let’s just leave now...we came here just like that bastard wanted, but they never said that we needed to stick around. So, there’s no sense in sticking around any-...," Began Trevor, before trailing off as two figures appeared ahead of us.
"Hey, there! You two aren’t with Chaos, are you?" Inquired one of them, a man with slicked back black hair.
"Um, based on her appearance, I think that’s the artificial Meta-Human, X. As for the other one...no idea who he is, probably a lower Category Meta," Remarked the other one, a woman with turquoise dyed hair.
"Wha-...!? I am a Category 0, thank you very much!" Huffed Trevor indignantly.
"Seriously? Well, whatever...so, how do you want to do this? I take the guy and you take the girl?" The black haired guy asked the blue haired girl.
"Sure, I guess," She responded, before shifting her gaze towards me.
They’re annoyingly calm right now...they’re probably both Category 1s, if I had to guess. I’m capable of fighting most 0s on even terms, they’re mistaken if they think they can beat me.
"Lure the girl away from here, I don’t want your Nullification affecting me," Trevor muttered to me.
"Yeah, okay, I got it."
I then drew out a dagger and swiftly flung it at the woman, who caught it without batting an eye, and in a quick, fluid motion, flung it straight at Trevor without missing a beat.
He quickly evaded, grimacing as it grazed his arm, before the man shot towards him rapidly, forming a swirling mass of water around his fist.
I simultaneously shot towards the woman, briefly activating my Nullification as I passed the man, his water dissipating, before I closed in on the woman and leapt at her, drawing out a couple of daggers and slashing at her head.
She swiftly ducked below my slash, before her foot came shooting up and slammed onto my midsection, eliciting a sharp gasp of pain from me as she struck me and knocked the wind out of me, before swinging her leg across and throwing me off her knee.
I slammed onto a couple of garbage bins painfully, before leaping out of the way in alarm as she fired a Light Blast at me, which struck the bins and broke them apart, trash bursting out upon impact.
Crap, she’s stronger than I expected, this might be tough. As I sprang back to try and get out of the alley, she raced after me before halting and placing her hand on the ground, right as my feet landed...and sunk into the ground beneath me.
Uh-oh...I think I’m stuck.
She then leapt at me as she closed in and slammed a flying kick square onto the middle of my chest, sending me flying back as the force yanked me out of the trap she’d made on the ground, before I hit the road and skidded along it painfully.
Ow...that scraped off several patches of my skin. I swiftly activated Nullification as I got back up on my feet...she’s pretty skilled at hand to hand combat, so I better prevent her from using any Skill attacks in tandem with it.
"Alright, I’ll admit, you’re a lot stronger than you look. Come at me," I smirked, as I planted my feet and taunted her.
"Oh, um...okay, if you insist," She responded uncertainly, before rapidly zipping towards me.
Huh? What was with that weak sauce response? She seems awfully unassertive for someone so strong.
As she closed in on me with her fist drawn back and I began to brace myself, she suddenly dropped down low and rapidly spun across with a swift sweep kick.
I just barely reacted in time and jumped up, avoiding her tripping me, before she used the spinning momentum to whip her leg straight up at my waist, as I quickly drew out a dagger and held it in front of my waist.
Before her foot could get impaled on it, she abruptly halted her foot and stopped her kick just in time, and then rolled out of the way as I flung another dagger at her with my other hand, narrowly evading it.
Okay, wow, she’s pretty good...even without the use of her powers, she’s seriously keeping me on my toes. This is gonna be a tough fight...

Point-of-View: Afro D Ziac
———————————————————————————
Hm...who should I fight? There’s two dudes down there, a black haired guy wearing a blue suit over a white shirt, and a guy with brown, curly hair with a green coat, they were fighting each other.
Looks like the ten lackeys Anarchy brought are all already dead, wow...that sure was fast, huh. So, then, I guess that means that those two guys down there are members of Harmony and Eden.
In which case...I’ll fight both of them! A fight between three people, all on opposing sides...yeah, that sounds like a fucking blast! Time to make an entrance!
I rapidly swooped down towards them while charging up intense wind blasts in each hand, firing them out as I closed in on them, both of them springing back as they noticed.
The guy in the suit reacted pretty quickly and got out of the way nicely, but the other guy was a fraction of a second slower to react, and while he evaded taking my blast on directly, the force that burst out upon impact sent him stumbling back, just barely maintaining his balance, right as I slammed my feet onto the ground, right in between them.
"This fight could use some Afro D Ziac to spice things up...good thing I’m here!" I smirked, as they both eyed me warily.
Aw, yeah, fucking nailed it!
"Wait, what?" Responded the black haired guy in bemusement.
"What?" I replied with a tilt of my head.
"What does an aphrodisiac have to do with-...hm?" He frowned, narrowing his eyes at me, "Your Aura...are you an Outlier?"
"Oh, nice, you noticed! Yup, that’s right, I’m the Outlier of Chaos, the name’s Afro D Ziac, nice to meetcha!" I grinned in response, before exclaiming, "Alright, get back to fighting, I’m joining in too!"
"Imbecile...die," Remarked the brown haired guy, as he fired out a huge fireball at me.
I swiftly blasted out a wall of wind to dissipate his flames, before firing a sharp wind blast at the other guy as I shot towards the curly haired with an intense burst of wind from my feet, closing in on him in an instant.
He sprang back in response as several sharp streaks of water burst out of his fingers, converging in on me. I burst out a shockwave of wind to blow them away, as I chased after him.
As I closed in on him, he raised his hand towards my head, a dark mist around his palm, I swiftly halted and flew up in response, while firing out a barrage of wind bullets from my hand.
Right, avoid letting a Dark Skill user touch your head, because they have techniques that can mess with your mind or make you see illusions and stuff...normally, those are more effective on normal humans, but if inflicted with direct physical contact, then they’re especially hard to break free from, even for Meta-Humans.
Suddenly, my eyes widened as the black haired guy appeared right behind me, his fist drawn back...did he just reach my height with a jump? Oh, he must have a Physical Skill.
I quickly spun around while bursting out a shockwave of wind, as he drove his fist at my side. My wind slowed his fist down a bit, but it still struck my right arm with immense force, fracturing my forearm and sending me rapidly plummeting towards the ground.
As I spotted the other guy in my peripheral, I fired out a jetstream of wind from my feet to control the downward momentum and sent myself shooting straight at the brown haired guy at a breakneck speed, my head slamming onto his stomach with a powerful impact, eliciting a sharp gasp of pain from him as he got sent flying back and crashing onto a fire hydrant, water bursting out from it as he dented it, raining down all around him.
That...was awesome!
"Aw, man, I’m having a blast...let’s keep going!" I exclaimed gleefully, feeling super hyped right now.
This is the fucking best!
