Chapter 233: Clash (2/2) (1/2)

Seeing the pink mist approaching us, I feel a strange sensation of familiarity.

For some odd reason, I don't feel like offering any resistance to the pink mist. Could this be a characteristic of whatever it is?

Unlike me, Nyx doesn't seem to be too concerned as she simply moves closer to me and stands right behind me.

Soon enough, the pink mist reaches us, but instead of pain or any other sensation, I feel nothing more than comfort. It's as if I am bathing in a pool of comforting energy.

”What is going on?!” Georg says in an anxious tone as he stops releasing the pink mist.

”Georg?” Cao Cao says with a frown, ”Is something wrong?”

”It's not working!” Georg responds, ”Dimensional Lost is not responding!”

Hearing his words, the others furrow their brows as Hercules says, ”Are we going to fight here then?”

”No,” Cao Cao responds, ”If we do that, there could be other disturbances.”

Listening to their conversation, I realize that whatever this pink mist is, it's seemingly ineffective against me. Not only that, but it seems to have been some kind of mechanism to take us away from here.

”You lot wish to fight elsewhere? Somewhere we won't be disturbed?” I say, attracting their attention.

”That's simple,” I say before invoking, ”Arena.”

The next moment, everyone gets pulled along with myself into the familiar city. Looking around the place, I begin to think of what Irene had said before.

At any given moment, the location could change, however, there will be some sort of warning before that happens.

Truthfully, I would be slightly saddened if the location changed now, as I'm used to the city and the way everything works.

Setting such thoughts aside for the moment, I take a glance at Nyx, only to find her curiously observing the city with awe.

Unlike her, however, the Hero Faction is grouped up close to one another, seemingly in preparation for an ambush.

Shaking my head, I step forth and say, ”Fret not, you weaklings aren't worth ambushing.”

Hearing my statement, all of them glare at me while preparing for battle.

After a few seconds of standstill, Cao Cao swiftly dashes toward me with his spear raised.

Once again, a sense of familiarity overwhelms me as the tip of the spear approaches my chest.

Before I can settle my mind whether to bother with reflecting the attack's vectors or not, the spear reaches my chest. Unexpectedly, I feel no pain or any kind of force, but a warm sensation as if I am being rejuvenated.

Following this, Cao Cao's eyes widen as he hurriedly steps back and inspects the spear in his hand.

”Was that supposed to hurt me?” I mock.

”Leader?” Heracles says, ”What happened?”

”I don't know,” comes a response from the befuddled man, ”it should've pierced his body, but it suddenly stopped.”

”So much for heroes,” I proclaim with a grin, ”You can't even handle your weapons.”

The next moment, a Heracles' figure blurs as he dashes toward me. Once he has gotten close enough, Heracles pulls his arm back in preparation for a punch.

Unfazed, I stand in my position and stare at his face as his fist approaches me.

A small smile forms on Heracles' lips as his fist contacts my cheek but frowns the next moment as I cancel all vectors associated with the punch.

Before he can react, I swiftly slam my palm into his chest while redirecting the vectors downward and amplifying them.

As a result, Heracles falls to his knees with enough force to crack the ground.

”You seem like a sturdy weapon,” I remark before kicking his face with just enough force to knock him down.

Then, before the bewildered group of self-proclaimed heroes, I grasp Heracles' right leg tightly with my fingers riddling holes in his flesh.

Looking up at the nervous self-proclaimed heroes, I beam a smile before lifting Heracles off the ground and dashing toward the girl that called herself Jeanne.

As expected, they can't keep up with my current speed, resulting in Heracles' bulky body to slam into the shocked lady.

Due to them being close, both Georg and Siegfried get knocked back a few meters, while Jeanne directly slams into a building before limply falling to the ground.

All of a sudden, I feel a tag on my arm as Heracles struggles to pull his leg away from hand.

Discontented with his behavior, I raise my arm along with his body before slamming him into the ground.

Soon after, I notice that's not enough as he begins struggling again, so, I repeat the process numerous times, resulting in bits of debris to burst toward Cao Cao.

As a response, he swiftly blocks the debris using his spear by a few fancy swings.

At this moment, a wave of darkness surrounds Cao Cao's body as a graceful figure appears behind him and punches his back, causing him to slam into the ground and drop his spear.

Standing close to his body, Nyx has a charming smile on her face as she gazes at me.
