He wasn't exactly on a schedule, but he did think he needed to take care of them quickly, most importantly, he didn't want them to escape.
Humans tend to escape from things they deem unconquerable or unachievable, so the moment they think their plans are not working is the moment they plan their escape.
He didn't want that. What he wanted was a clean victory with fifteen dead bodies as collateral damage.
'...but Those bullets...'.
The moment he stepped into the light would be the moment his death would be on countdown.
He couldn't dodge all of it; the bullets were too fast, and he was only a ninth star.
If he were faster...like a tenth star or even an eleventh.
'Oh....' A smile formed on his face in realization. 'It's been a while since I used that'.
He didn't necessarily have to deal with the gunmen but they stopped him from achieving anything.
Moving towards them and dodging the bullets at the same time would prove difficult, so if he wanted to defeat them, he needed to lure them to him.
'Lure? Who has time for mind games'. He thought before taking a deep breath.
The moment he breathed out, his aura stars had begun to work on overdrive, vibrating like a drill bit while his mana circles spun around.
The newfound strength pierced through his body like a gush of adrenaline as his vision was fortified by the energy.
There was no name for it other than the one he gave it. "Resonance". Experience more content on My Virtual Library Empire
A cold chill exuded out of his breath as his gaze whipped outside, behind the door he had been standing on.
It was fixed on one position, far away, at the top of the building where the girls were using as their cover
"That building is found down".
Without a second though, he charged into the open area, and the rain of bullets shot down at him in a second as if they had been anticipating his line of action.
At that moment, the sky vibrated as black clouds began to gather above the open surface.
It had become imminent that something bad was about to happen, but Raph wasn't given the leeway to find out as the rain of bullets shot down at him with persistence.
Raph's movement had become faster, stronger, sharper and more fluid. Like the smoothness of silk, he acted on impulse.
His legs and body moved in whatever direction the bullets were headed.
His gaze had left trails of white with his action, while his sword was a blur. His body had become nearly invisible, making it difficult to pinpoint his exact direction.
Xixan seemed to do a breathing technique to help her calm her nerves, which Herbe had noticed.
She simply sighed and looked out through the window above them. Ahead of them, in the opposite direction was Zoan, the lightning mage and Rina, her subordinate.
Time was ticking, and with it was the constant explosion of energy that occurred beside them.
Turning towards the direction of the source, her gaze flickered as it spotted Raph defending himself against the onslaught of bullets.
A trail of fear ran down her spine as she shivered slightly. The sight above the building was a lot different from what she saw now that they were on the same floor.
There was an implosion of energy with his action as if he imbued aura in every movement he made.
'..this level of mastery is usually attainable after years of fighting. This is merely a boy?! Is he Not?' She wondered, before nodding at Zoan and retreating her figure below.
They needed to stay in hiding for as long as they could for their plan to have even a minuscule success.
She glanced at Xixan. "MP recharged?" She asked and the girl nodded in response.
'It is now or never'. Herbe thought, but at that moment, a slight chuckle escaped from her lips.
Xixan had noticed it but chose to not pry, seeing as how Herbe was in a state of calming herself.
It was ludicrous, or at least Herbe found this situation ludicrous. It was like she was in a war, but they were merely fighting against one man.
'....if all Non-system users are like this....then we'll have a predicament in the future'. She thought before sighing loudly.
Well, unbeknownst to her, Raph wasn't just any Non-system user, as most of them couldn't wield as many abilities as Raph could.
Born into the Jun household, he was naturally gifted with the Jun physique. It gave him inhumane strength and speed, precision and battle IQ. These were people from a long line of knights and their genes were forever dominant. Everything came naturally for them, to the extent that the king feared them.
She wasn't aware of this, and she would never be, but her mind had been cleansed from all distractions. It was time to administer the plan.
"Let's go".
Xixan didn't wait for another second before she charged out of the building, with Herbe following closely behind her.
Zoan and Rina did the same, hurdling up together before they began to prepare.
The constant explosions that occurred with Raph's movement had caused wave after wave of energy blast to spread through the air.
These four weren't exempted from it as they were occasionally struck by the strong winds and energy waves that would send them staggering backwards if not for their skills.
They had to rely on their MP to boost their physical strength to resist the effects of the explosions while keeping their movement silent.
Zoan and Xixan stood together and summoned their starves together. They aimed it at Raph, or where they thought Raph was, as they poured their MP into the attack they prepared.
