BIOLOGICAL SUPERCOMPUTER SYSTEM

Chapter 986: Point Blank Wind Blade



Erik's eyes met Volkov's through the mist. The man's face was twisted in rage. "You won't escape this time, Romano!" he said, summoning a massive lightning bolt.

"No, man... It's you who won't escape this!"

Erik channeled mana once again into his Frostwind Fire Tempest brain crystal power's neural links.

His eyes were filled with resolve and murderous intent as he felt the familiar surge of power building within him and simultaneously avoided the myriad of attacks raining down on him from all directions.

He knew he had to make the next move count. With Richard out of prison, it was time to go all out. He didn't know if his mana was going to be enough to kill all the blackguards here, but if he killed enough, he would level up, and that would replenish his mana, making another attack possible.

He smirked.

"Now, it's my turn, Volkov!"

The blackguards tightened their circle around Erik. Zakir's tendrils got ready for whatever his opponent was planning to do.

Erik didn't waste a single moment and started channeling mana into his Frostwind Fire tempest brain crystal power's neural links, feeling the energy streaming from the brain crystal to the rest of the body.

Erik leapt back, narrowly avoiding a lightning bolt that split the air where he had stood, and where he created a thick pillar of ice to protect himself.

At the same time, Zakir's tendrils lashed out, but Erik moved with blinding speed, powered by his Force Bastion brain crystal power, giving him the edge he needed to avoid the opponent's mana powered strikes.

The Blackguards closed in, but Erik danced between them, avoiding their attacks and killing people at the same time.

He couldn't allow the blackguards to understand his strategy, otherwise the attack would be rendered useless. Erik needed to keep them in the dark to exploit the biological supercomputer's ability to restore his mana with each level up, and that required casualties. Erik's plan required nearly all of his mana reserves. This was the only way to eliminate as many blackguards as possible, especially those with defensive or semi-defensive powers who could otherwise thwart his attack.

The defense would be even more effective, considering there were at least 20 people with defensive or semi-defensive powers.

"He's charging up something big!" Volkov said. His voice was tinged with panic. "Don't let him finish!"

The courtyard buzzed with the crackle of electricity and the clash of weapons hitting weapons. Erik kept killing blackguards, but not so fast as to get out of that place. Not that he wanted, not yet at least.

Zakir lunged, his tendrils slashing through the mist, but Erik sidestepped the attack, channeling even more mana into his power. But it was too late.

Finally, Erik was ready. He released a massive explosion; the fire fanned by the wind.

Chaos erupted from him as scorching flames engulfed the courtyard and the blackguards within it.

Blackguards screamed in surprise and terror as the explosion tore through their ranks. Many were caught off guard, unable to react in time.

But Volkov's scream made many react. Protective barriers shimmered, some, but very few, shattered, and buildings crumbled under the force of the blast.

[LEVEL UP.]

The prison's entrance and the courtyard in front of it were almost destroyed, but that was good, because it would make it harder for those inside the prison to get out.

As the dust settled, Erik surveyed the devastation. Bodies lay scattered, but at least half of the blackguards, along with Volkov and Zakir, shielded themselves from the worst of the explosion.

Volkov's face was a mask of shock and fury. "You... How did you...?"

Zakir's tendrils twitched, but there was uncertainty in his eyes. "He's exhausted himself. Now's our chance!"

Erik's lips almost curled into a smirk. They thought he was weakened. Little did they know, the leveling up from his attack had replenished his mana reserves.

<Think again.>

"Attack! Finish him now!"

The remaining blackguards charged, sure that their comrades inside were rushing outside the building.

It was just a matter of minutes before they reached the courtyard, and at that point, no matter how powerful Erik Romano was, He would not get out of this.

Erik knew the blackguards thought he was done for and that he exhausted his mana, and tried to capitalize on this knowledge.

He slowed down his movements because he knew, based on Zakir's and Volkov's personalities, that they were going to jump into the first line, just to have the honor of

beating him up.

A blackguard swung at him with a mace, but Erik dove under the blow and delivered a powerful uppercut, shattering the blackguards' heads.

But he refrained from using mana now, aside from keeping the ice pillars up. Volkov's brain crystal power was still dangerous. That was the reason he was slowly trying to get closer to

him.

That was what Erik had in mind. He wanted to clear the view enough to get a shot at killing Volkov. If he did, the man would die.

Zakir was the first to approach him, though, as he was the craziest of the two, and that was honestly quite an achievement, considering how mad Volkov was.

<Now, I have to take care of him.>

Tendrils whipped toward Erik, but he sidestepped. Zakir roared in frustration, unleashing his other tendrils.

But no matter how he tried, Erik avoided them. The Force Bastion was still on, after all, making Erik stronger, but most importantly, faster. However, there was a limit to what his physical strength could do.

Volkov summoned another bolt of lightning, but Erik anticipated the move, creating an ice barrier that absorbed the strike.

Then, there was a fraction of a second in which there was no one standing between him and Volkov. That wasn't an accident. Erik did his best to let his opponents move as he wanted.

There was also a clear line between them, and that was enough for him.

<You will pay for this error dearly, Volkov!>

Erik channeled a small but fast wind blade. The power was not a lot, but it was going to be fast

enough for the attack to reach Volkov without defenses put up.

The wind blade traveled and found its mark. The blade severed Volkov's head from his body.

At that point.

[SINISA VOLKOV KILLED: MANA ABSORBING PROCESS STARTING.]

[3...2...1...0]

[MANA SUCCESSFULLY CONVERTED INTO EXPERIENCE. 22759 EXPERIENCE POINTS AND

Zakir's eyes widened. "No. This isn't possible."
