Ascenders Rift

Chapter 214: The Incoming Threat

The scene at the edge of the City of Hope was a gloomy one as both Milon and Wilma stared at Evan as if he was akin to a devil. His body had bits of blood over it as he was staring at the limbless mosquito general that had only now fled for its life to warn its leader.

Joe, Emilia, Layla, and the others had calm looks on their faces as if they'd grown used to his manner; they didn't even show odd looks as they had in the beginning.

'I sure am glad we aren't enemies...' Milon thought to himself and felt even more relieved that his son had made the right choice drawing them to their side.

Wilma had a slightly pale expression, but that returned to normal when Milon tapped her on her shoulder and gave her a knowing look.

At this time, Joe walked over and administered a DH Tube to Milon, at first he wasn't sure what such a liquid could even do, but the moment he drank, much to his surprise, he found that his wounds were beginning to heal at a rapid pace.

Both Milon and Wilma looked at this in shock as they exclaimed, "Amazing!"

Milon looked and saw that his crushed leg was healing at a rapid pace, he thought to himself with wide eyes, 'Such an incredible medicinal liquid, how did they create this effect? To think that it can even heal my legs...'

Joe smirked as he saw Milon's and Wilma's look as he spoke with a sly wink, "I know you guys want to know of its details, but... it's-a-secret."

Milon and Wilma rolled their eyes at his manner, as Emilia and Breya, gave him a look.

'There he goes again just you wait, after this is all done, I'll teach you a lesson with that special brew' Breya thought to herself with strange eyes.

Joe made a shrug ignoring them as he hurriedly put away the DH Tube; Layla smiled at this before fixing her eyes onto Evan, who was staring at the distance as if waiting for something.

"Is it time yet?" Layla asked as her voice woke everyone from their previous distraction.

Evan, who could somehow sense a rise of terrifying power from the distance smile as he looked at everyone and spoke, "Yes, he arrived pretty quickly; she's currently boiling with rage. It's time for us to deal with her."

A sharp look came into everyone's eyes, each boiling with a tinge of confidence as this was the strongest foe they had to face in a long while.

Milon and Wilma looked at each other before, as if knowing what they were thinking, Evan, looked at them and spoke, "Sir Milon, Miss Wilma, there's no need for you to participate, you'd best take this chance to hurry and leave this area before you recover and help out the others. We will leave everything else in the city to you..."

Milon and Wilma stared at Evan deeply before Milon replied, "Understood, you should all do your best to take care of yourselves... this mosquito queen has been q terrifying enemy even back during the first age of the outbreak."

"We won't underestimate her; we can't afford to do so..." Evan said with sharp eyes.

After saying what he wanted, Milon looked at Wilma, who hurriedly brought him away from the air at high speeds due to her antigravity powers, moving through a route that was far away from Marlin's position.

The moment they left; a blue blur flashed from the distance as Rick appeared by Evan's side. Evan continued to look outward as he spoke, "How soon till she gets here?"

Rick glanced behind him with a solemn look in his eyes as he spoke, "Not long, about a minute top, she's also riding that terrifying beast, it won't be an easy battle..."

Evan thought for a moment before he peered into the distance, there he saw two red dots that were moving towards them at high speeds.

In an instant, the sky turned a shade darker as a dreadful power scattered from a distance, threatening to envelop their entirety.

Gulp! Joe swallowed as his breath grew a bit unsteady, he had fought many battles before but not one against such a terrifying entity.

Emilia was also a bit uncomfortable, but she took a deep breath to calm down, Layla and Breya seemed to have a better time controlling themselves.

At this moment, Evan's eyes flashed with bright lights as he zoned in onto the figure of the two red dots, there he saw the gorgeous but sinister Marlin that rode atop of her giant mosquito as they bolted towards their direction with rage.

Evan didn't feel fear seeing this; however, he smiled as commanded with his mind, "Inspect."

When Evan saw those stats, his eyes narrowed before returning to normal as he thought, 'It's still within expectations, it looks like we'll have to use that plan after all...'

After finishing his thoughts, Evan stared at Rick, Layla, Emilia, Breya, and Joe as he took a deep breath and spoke, "They're both quite strong, but we'll be doing it as discussed previously..."

When Layla and the others heard this, their faces turned pale as Layla spoke, "Evan, are you serious, you want us to split up when fighting those monsters?"

Rick and the others also gave him a look as if looking at a mad man, Evan smiled and replied, "Don't worry about it, I can hold off Marlin and with your recent strength increase you should all be able to handle that Calamity Mosquito yourselves."

When Joe and the others heard this, they thought for a moment before nodding, Evan looked at them once more and spoke, "Good, now let's get moving, they're not far off from us and battling in the city is no different from fighting in their home grounds due to these many corpses."

"Fine," Everyone said as they soon left with Evan, their figure blurring across the distance as they rapidly left the city with the angry Marlin, in hot pursuit.
