928 Desperate Situation 2 (1/2)

Garen shook out the armor-piercing shells from the gun as he leaned against the hospital's ruined wall on the first floor.

Everyone who had entered the building had already been killed. So, he acted in such a way that made it seem like he was on the verge of dying. He switched off the relay instrument from the Mini Mech. He laid at a side of the ruins while reducing his Mech's temperature with the Cold Radiation to the point where the body temperature was indistinguishable.

If his opponent primarily used heat to detect any signs of life, then they would not be able to detect him as long as he could blend in with the surrounding temperature.

He would have a chance to survive as long as the opponent intends to capture him alive.

Garen's highly intense spirit and continuous actions had made him extremely tired as he had exhausted a huge amount of spiritual energy.

His eyelids became heavier over time. He felt as if it was difficult to keep his eyes open, that they could shut down at any time and never open again.

The hospital was in a disastrous state - corpses, fiery fires, bullets, and debris of Mechs could be seen everywhere. A document room, nearby the hospital, was broken as the documents inside were slowly burning. The plastics which were sandwiched in between the papers were slowly turning black, giving off viscous smoke.

The hospital was filled with smoke. It was so bad that one would not be able to see their fingers if they reached their hands out. Crackles were occasionally heard from the wooden furniture that was burning at high temperature.

The power to annihilate dozens of Miniaturized Mech alone was Garen's raw strength. Without including his unique ability, the Hellfrost Peacock Technique, it was about three times more than a typical person. Ultimately, Garen's unrivaled prowess in martial arts had made him a classical killing machine, so much so that even the military specialist powerhouses were no match for him.

Boom.

The wall on the first floor was punched through, and the stone debris flew about in the air as multiple human figures slowly walked in.

The man who was at the front reached out his right hand, as if he was grasping onto something.

”Sun Finger Ring.”

A circular golden halo appeared underneath his feet and spread out across the floor. Similar to the ripples spreading about on the surface of the water, the halo would automatically reflect once it reached the wall or any obstacles. After a few seconds, the whole area, including the ceiling was filled with these golden ripples.

Garen was stunned. It was impossible for him to avoid it as he could only see the golden ripples bouncing about on his body.

At the same time, he sensed that these people's eyes were on him.

”I've been discovered!!”

He was startled as their first reaction was to shoot at him with their guns instead. He immediately rolled to the side and jumped up with his legs.

”Hand of Void!”

The other girl shouted.

A powerful strength enveloped Garen as if an elusive huge hand had captured him while he was in the mid-air.

However, the Hand of Void was immediately neutralized with a sea of Cold Radiation. Garen then leaped into the Hospital's kitchen to hide and no noise was heard after that.

The leader turned his body and the armor-piercing bullets burst opened the left side of the wall. To these group of powerhouses, avoiding these bullets was something very common to them. They wouldn't be injured unless the path of the bullet was extremely curved or a refraction bullet was used.

”I can't locate him with my Sun Finger Ring. You guys shall move accordingly,” The leader said calmly.

”Well, duh?” The black-shirted girl behind him scoffed. Then she walked into the hole in the wall, and stared at the viscous smoke inside with a frown.

”Wind of Void!”

Invisible strong wind emerged as she raised both of her hands up, forming a small gray tornado inside the hospital, carrying away all the combustion in the oxygen.

The fiery fire distinguished at the speed that was visible to the naked eye. Though very quickly, all the smoke was gathered by the tornado, and was sent away through the hole in the wall. Immediately after, it exploded, and the smoke slowly floated upwards.

In a split second, the huge fire in the whole hospital was distinguished.

”I expect nothing less from a Level Five Resonance Powerhouse. To possess Resonance of this level is simply amazing to witness,” The lead man shrugged and he wasn't angry at all.

The black-shirted woman walked into the kitchen without any sense of fear. She didn't seem to care about any sort of ambush, whether it was guns or explosives.

Another four people from the powerhouse group entered the area. They were all criminals who had been sentenced to death but was kept alive by the military. They were equally assigned among the military groups as an ultimate weapon. Majority of them were Level Five Powerhouses, and the minority of them were Resonance Pilots. Since their Exclusives Mechs were destroyed, they could only release a set of simple Willpower techniques. However, under their overpoweringly strong Willpower, these techniques were strong enough to bend reality itself.

”Be careful. This kid was once a topnotch Level Five Pilot as well.” Seeing how the woman ignored him, he quickly followed up as well.

Both of them walked together as they entered the kitchen on the first floor.

The kitchen was huge. It was a place for the nurses, doctors, and patients to eat.

White cloths that were half burnt were hung in there. However, no one was sure what their purpose was.

”Those words you said back in Tienye Canyon? What did you mean?” The man walked to the woman's side and whispered into her ears.

”It is however you would want to interpret it,” the woman said coldly.

”That incident isn't my fault. I can't do anything if you insist on pushing the blame on me. However, can you please understand the whole situation?” The man said helplessly.

”What situation? Haven't you already done it?” The woman stared at him coldly.

”I have said that it's a misunderstanding…” His expression changed before he could finish speaking, while he grabbed onto the girl's shoulder.

Boom!

Suddenly, a human figure raised from the curtain, and rushed towards the woman.

At the same time, the Cold Radiation was cast upon the both of them, hitting them hard as they were about to activate their Willpower abilities.

Boom!

The man took a few steps back once he was hit. Whereas the girl was kicked in the abdomen by Garen.

”Void!!”
