Chapter 412: Dream's End 1

The Hero's fists fleith cannonball power, airey Rift His knuckles were encased in a pale ether the dimensional tear

But before the Hero's blow could strike true at the tear, he was stopped

An arrey that rebuffed the Hero's blow The Hero flew backwards frohted himself in mid-air

Fro to that ar, corey The entity's body see vibrance out of its surroundings, leeching the azure blues out of the clear sky

"Who are you!?" said the Hero He ht ared the design of his shi+eld froed to a medieval fare

Noas shaped like a diadeh to encoht eolden star e surface

The star shone bright like the sun, having inherited a frag the Grey War

The for its own shi+eld of rippling fog

"Notbehind the entity at the Rift It was still open, an ugly scar in this bright, beautiful world

If the Hero wanted to close it, he needed to get through this guardian first He looked down at its shi+eld of fog

"A ht his shi+eld up "Alright, let's do this!"

The Hero held his shi+eld out with one arm and punched it with the other The star sy solar beam

The forolden beaht turning dull grey before scattering like falling flower petals

'Guess ranged attacks won't work,' thought the Hero He clenched his free fist tight 'But the punch I landed before didn't hurt me Fine by me - I'll handle this withback his ar and charging power

The entity fleard too,the Hero's fist with its shi+eld

"Get out of my world!" roared the Hero as he unleashed his punch The punch accelerated exponentially, the countless 'shi+elds' infused in his cells storing and expelling energy to massively amplify his attack

It was an attack that could rival the likes of Vanguard in his prime No less was demanded of the Hero who defeated the Greys

The Hero was sent flying backwards, hurtling down to the ground like a falling ht of the entity as he sh clouds He was not hurt, but his eyes ide open He had been repelled so easily

No, that was not exactly it-

'It didn't feel like I was hitting anything,' thought the Hero 'When I hit the shi+eld, ot stopped, but I didn't h air

H force to stop his descent He was no enough that he could see the shi+ning white city of Haven below, full of people he needed to protect

"Panopticon, Heroes, requesting backup!" said the Hero as he put a hand to his ear

There was no contact His commlink was dead The entity must have been capable of some kind of interference, but this was to be expected Extradiy in soh

But that was alright The Hero knew the value of his friends and coht by hi off the air, the Hero soared up again with valiant stride, resolve filling his heart to defend the peaceful world he had worked so hard toon!?" The Hero threw punch after punch at the shi+eld of fog All of his hits stopped short, repelled by some invisible, i part

He and the entity were on street level now The city was thoroughly broken apart from the shockwaves of the Hero's clash But even that was to be expected

The Hero would have liked to keep the fight in the air, out of civilian reach, but he knew that if it caht on the streets while everyone else focused on evacuating

The Panopticon's new efficient evac system would have cleared the city in just thirty minutes

But there…was nobody here?

The streets were e, turning grey

"Rah!" The Hero sla a y that blasted the entity backwards It ss like they were made of cardboard However, its destructive path back made no sounds, no crack and shatter or rubble

Even the explosions it created froh vehicles were soundless
