Chapter 395: The Dinner Incident 5 (2/2)

Valera stepped back and ai a proactive stance to deal with it "Burn!"

The burnmaw opened up and unleashed a torrent of black outlined hellfire, but when the flames subsided, it showed that the sphere was still there, utterly unharain at the walls and ceilings to see if Valera's blow had broken Kinesis's concentration

Not the case

The walls were still thickly padded with defensive constructs But doing this, creating a cage the size of an entire h to withstand escape attempts from not just Aldrich, but Valera - someone who had at the

And, Aldrich realized, it was There was a reason why Kinesis did not attack using any constructs She could not, or, even if she could, could not do so with any real efficacy It was like she was a current of electricity, 90 of her charge diverted to the cage, 10 to anything else

It see to severely nerf herself, using up all her power to reinforce the cage, to keep Aldrich contained

"I apologize," said Kinesis, standing up again "But you must rest now"

'She can't defend herself,' said Aldrich 'Break the channel by dealing with her'

Valera was upon Kinesis again, this tional e], drath

She palround with an explosive i herself in a layer of construct armor, but nerfed as she was, it was all she could do to protect herself

"Undo this attack!" roared Valera as she raised Kinesis up and then sain

Kinesis was silent

"Fine Then I will kill you" Valera sla sound filled the air

Valera raised Kinesis up in the air by the top of her helm The helmet around the face area, which should have exposed the S-class hero's face An enigotten to witness before

Kinesis, the hest hero rank in just a single year One of the very few heroes in this day and age that kept their hero life and private life completely separate

Rejected any corporate sponsors Had no need for fans Only operated in secrecy Had no recorded residence, no base of operations, no teain or history

What kind of face would belong to that an Valera, confused

Aldrich shared Valera's reaction

There was no face behind Kinesis's helolden-brown speckled with a fog of coslints like stars It looked like, Aldrich, realized, a nebula

The cos space wherever it touched That included Valera's arh!" Valera dropped Kinesis reflexively She looked at her arled, distorted spatially Not just that, but it looked greyed out, sapped of color The grey see up her arripped the affected arrew a new one, blood sputtering fro into a full limb

"Ahh" Kinesis put a hand over broken helain But it is over"

"Silence You will die now" Valera, more careful to keep distance this time, raised her shi+eld in the air, ready to sain

Aldrich looked back at the sphere It had disappeared But in the next instant, darkness expanded out from it The darkness on the floor expanded in reaction too, as if to eagerly reach out and ulfed everyone and everything in the room
