423 The Raider Groups End, A Final Touch of Bad Karma (1/2)

Day 72 - 11:02 AM - Mansion, Padilla, San Jose, Antipolo, Rizal

Heavy pressure enveloped the surroundings as Mark released the emotional energies he accumulated from his Emphatic Ability. It was a medium-scale [Emotion Induction] that targeted every single enemy in this area.

Mark's eyes glowed bright red as he planted deep fear in everyone's subconscious. None were aware of it and did not feel the fear consciously. However, their bodies stopped moving as it recognized the intense feeling of fear inside the back of their minds. As a result, they felt heavy, and their legs were shaking.

The enemies could barely move at all. And only those with enough mental fortitude would be able to negate this effect. Like three people among them.

RATATATATA!!!

Gunshots echoed from above as HawkOwl opened his wings and flew up. This birdman was the first to react to Mark surviving the explosion.

TANG! TANG! TANG!

Some of the bullets hit the vehicles behind Mark, making everyone inside nervous. However, the deformed bullets fell to the ground after hitting the cars.

Aside from a few scratches and barely noticeable dents, the cars were all not damaged at all. All these vehicles had already been modified by Mark. Only high caliber weapons could do some damage to these vehicles.

M16 military-issued guns like HawkOwl had, was useless. It was unless the bullets targeted the wheels. That, however, would not happen as HawkOwl started shooting as he flew up.

However, Mark's hazy visage just blurred every time a bullet hit him.

Each shot hit nothing but air in its path and flew towards the ground unhindered.

Accell saw that the guns were not working. Supporting HawkOwl's actions, Accell also started to move. His reaction was not as fast as the former. However, as a person with the highest intellect and mental capacity within their group, Mark's [Emotion Induction] had the least effect on him.

As HawkOwl continued to fire his assault rifle, Accell charged towards Mark at an unimaginable speed. It only took him a second, and he traversed the seven-meter distance between him and Mark. He even rushed behind Mark to attack from a blind spot.

However, in another unexpected action, Accell did not use any weapon. Instead, he tried to grab Mark with bare hands. His hands, however, had been releasing a large number of sparks. It was obvious that he was releasing a rather deadly amount of electricity from his hands.

Mark, on the other hand, squinted his eyes at the sudden movement by Accell. He could tell that the guy flying above was still affected by his mental attack as a lot of his gunshots missed him. This guy behind, however, was barely affected. Furthermore, this attack might be able to harm Mark.

To dodge the explosion, Mark used miasma to block and absorb the heat hitting his body. Against the bullets, he partially used his [Shadow Mist Movement], causing his body to blur and phase through the space between the bullets.

Electricity, on the other hand, was a different matter. Electricity was formless and could occupy space. He could enter his subspace, however, as electricity was not a physical matter but was a flow of electrons, he did not know whether he would be able to pass through the gaps of chaotic electrons without getting hit.

As for absorbing the energy using miasma, it was already late. The enemy's movements were too fast. There was barely any time for him to react, not to mention releasing miasma.

And thus, Mark made the easiest thing to deal with this guy.

Accell proceeded and used his second ability. It was to conduct and release a high voltage of electricity from his body. This was also his deadliest move. None of those he used this ability to managed to live.

However, he had the shock of his life. It was because of Mark directly catching Accell's hands covered in electricity with his own. Accell felt strange. Still, he already launched his attack and there was no option to retreat.

Mark caught the two hands of the enemy. This caused a burning pain in his hands as the electricity started to burn his skin. His hands started to release smoke as the tissues in his hand's arms were became numb and damaged.

Seeing the effect of his attack, Accell raised the voltage further. This caused his arms to light up and emitted crackling sounds all over.

Then, he was terrified.

Accell saw Mark's face. He was smiling. Then, the visible damage from his arms and body started to heal at an inconceivable rate. Increasing the voltage further, Mark's body started to emit smoke. But then, the damage was soon repaired. It was until... Mark's body did not seem to be affected by the electricity Accell released any longer.

Feeling the threat in his life, Accell tried to retreat. However, like a clamp, Mark's hands locked his hands and did not let go.

Seeing Accell's expression, Combustion and HawkOwn knew that he was in a predicament. HawkOwl swooped down closer to Mark to ensure that he would not miss and shot more bullets.

Combustion, who could still move, despite slowly, spat several times. He shot several nail sized clumps of saliva towards Mark.

To those attacks, Mark made a sinister move.

He swept his right foot below and caused Accell to lose balance. At the latter's fall, Mark spun his body upside down and pushed his body towards the attacks of Combustion and HawkOwl.

RATATATATATA!!!

”GAAAAAAHHHHHHHAAAAHHH!!!”

HawkOwl's bullets tore holes on Accell's body, making him scream in severe pain.

BOOM! BOOM!

The screams were replaced by small explosions engulfing Accell's body.

Almost turned into a charred human, Accell's body fell on the ground... Lifeless. His body was filled with holes of different sizes from the gunshots and explosions. His left leg and right arm plopped on the ground, detached after the explosions hit him, and melted his limbs.

Seeing Accell's fate, their members wanted to scream, including Combustion and HawkOwl. However, the pressure they were feeling prevented them from being able to speak. Accell was the most important member of their group. Without him and his planning skills, they would need more effort to do things they needed to.

Fortunately for them, they did not have to think of those things anymore. None of them were leaving here, alive.

Mark glanced at the sniper dome on his vehicle. Mei was there waiting for his command. He then moved his head as if pointing at the enemy above. Receiving the order, Mei aimed at the birdman above.

Of course, HawkOwl noticed the movements on the vehicle. With his superhuman eyesight, he clearly saw the muzzle of a sniper rifle turning to aim at him.
