192 Argent Mirror 4 (1/2)
Chapter 192: Argent Mirror 4
Everyone inside the expo hall buried their heads. Only after the smoke and dust had cleared, then people were able to start making out the situation inside the hall.
A white haired man with a long red sword was walking towards the hall, and in front of him was a brown haired girl struggling to get up on her feet amidst the rubble.
Obviously the main entrance wall was blown open by this girl just now.
What was even more shocking was how the hall was now littered with heavily injured or comatose people. Corpses and limbs were also all over the place. Amongst them there were some Argentists and some folks of unknown origins. The floor was filled with shrapnel and bullet marks, the air was thick with the scent of gunpowder.
The crowd in the hall suddenly turned into a mess as some tried to run through the exit formed by the explosion early, but were quickly shot to death by a quick succession of silenced bullets.
”Ish….looks like our drinks tonight will have to wait another day,” the old man took a deep breath and mumbled under his breath.
”Didn’t you say to trust the government?”
Garen asked bemusedly.
”That belief depends on situation,” The old man balked at Garen talking back at him,”you little one, later just watch out and follow me. We must find a way outta here, this place is too dangerous! Damnit, why did this have to happen on my rare day off?! What shit luck do I have to deserve this!”
The girl called Ophany squatted by the side, upon hearing the two of them joking about in a situation like this, her heart started to calm down.
The crowd now all stared at Flamingo, nobody dared to raise their voice or breathe too loudly in fear of attracting his attention.
While Garen was talking to the old man earlier, Flamingo had easily killed two assassins who attempted to attack him, all while casually blocking a rain of bullets.
Through all of this, his steps never changed, he continued walking towards the girl.
Four old men’s bodies were covered in blood, two of them had their heads and bodies in separate spots, while the other two were heavily injured.
Flamingo looked at everyone in the room calmly. Not too far away, a few police cars started to stop around the perimeter, but none of the policemen who got off dared to come close. With Flamingo as the epicenter, nobody dared to walk to close to him within a hundred meter radius, and nobody could leave either. It was as if an invisible force field had covered this entire area.
”What a pity. Is this your surprise for me? By suppressing my blood’s power?” Flamingo said plainly,”in my eyes, you are all like worthless trash. Nothing but stronger ants.”
Julie struggled to get up.
The monster in front of her had gotten stronger again. Compared to the time they fought in the Water City Moyako, Flamingo’s sword was now at least twice as tough as his last one. It was even able to slice through her telekenisis abilities.
”You still talk a lot of crap, when all you want is to just show off how powerful you are.” As she spoke, blood flowed out from her mouth, making her look incredibly miserable.
”We’re done, we’re so done. The more we know the more likely we’re going to be killed,” the old man’s face started turning bitter, even his bodyguards were starting to lose their cool.
”Boss, isn’t that a little un-auspicious to say?” one of his bodyguards asked.
”We’re about to die, screw being auspicious!” the old man’s face scrunched up.
”We can’t be sure, who knows maybe he’s a good guy, and it’s because of what happened that’s why he did what he did,” Garen interjected.
”Does his face look like a good guy to you?!” the old man was dumbfounded.
”Well, I know that you shouldn’t judge a book by its cover.”
Garen suddenly smiled softly like he just noticed something, he reached out his right hand softly and his skin was glowing a soft white gold.
”Excuse me, I need to go now, I have something to do.”
The old man and Ophany looked at Garen stunned, especially the old man who was still dumbfounded, he opened his mouth like he wanted to say something.
Ding!!
Suddenly a loud ring echoed from a distance.
In a split second, Garen disappeared from where he stood and turned into a shadow, alongside two other mysterious white shadows, they all dashed towards Flamingo.
The three shadows appeared almost at the same time in front of Flamingo. Boom!! A big ball of fire exploded from Flamingo’s body.
”You lot!!!” in the explosion, one could hear Flamingo angrily yelling.
The three shadows dispersed and stood in a circle around Flamingo, turning into three humanforms. Turns out it was the King of Nightmares Stephen, Andrela and Garen.
The three of them had completely surrounded Flamingo.
The King of Nightmares excitedly licked the dagger in his hand.
”Since you’re out, don’t go back.”
”It’s you!” Flamingo’s pupils shrank, like he recognised the King of Nightmares. Right now, Flamingo’s left arm hung limp on the side of his body, seemingly broken after the initial hit.
”If I want to leave, none of you can stop me!” Flamingo did not spare any more chatter, and dashed backwards in retreat, in the direction of Garen.
”Divine Statue, Thunder Sprint!”
One of Garen’s hands expanded and turned into a greenish black colour, swinging directly in the direction of Flamingo.
Boom!!
