BXBX NOVEL 194 Chapter 194
The sight of hundreds of clones flying down like meteors made Acht\'s blood freeze for a moment before it started pumping throughout his body at an incredibly fast speed. Adrenaline also rushed all the way to his brain and enhanced his already sharp senses.
For a split second, Acht felt the time stop and all of his surroundings halted from moving. The only thing he could feel in this silence was his erratic breathing.
Then, as if he was moving by instinct, his body immediately launched up into the air, reaching 50 meters in less than a second.
*BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM*
A moment later, the ground beneath Acht blew up like a balloon. The attack that came from a hundred or so incredibly strong individuals was just way beyond what this world could bear.
Acht looked down with widened eyes at the sight. The place he was standing along with an area of almost 100 kilometers radius was erased from existence.
There wasn\'t even debris or rocks, it was all turned into small particles that were swept by the airwaves.
"Ugh!" Acht clenched his teeth as he covered his face with both of his arms to cover them from the huge dust storm that engulfed him suddenly.
He even had a hard time fighting the air that was pushing and pulling him like a ragdoll in the air.
\'Dammit! The air is too strong.\' He thought as he looked down through his arms.
There, he saw all the clones stand up again and look at him before blasting into the air again.
The boy didn\'t wait to see what they intended to do as he unleashed every ounce of his aura to fight the storm back and to be able to free himself from the clutches of this natural power.
He then flew away from the place where he previously stood into the horizon. He had no time to waste as they could reach him at any moment.
His speed reached such heights because of his abnormal state that he felt his face getting stung by the dust particles that were now taking the place of a huge chunk of the atmosphere.
As he flew, crossing hundreds of meters in less than a few seconds, he peeked back.
However, that choice he made was probably the most regrettable thing he had done.
The clones that were obviously following him were now preparing another one of those huge energy balls they created before.
"Shit." Acht clicked his tongue as he flew even higher, reaching the clouds. He wanted to use them as objects that hid his presence and made it even harder to aim at him.
The clones didn\'t seem to bother with what he did as he still threw the balls with all of their strength the moment they saw him.
The giant energy balls followed him, reaching the clouds before blowing up.
The moment these compact massive-scale bombs blew up, the sky that was filled with clouds got cleared instantly.
Every cloud was swept away and dissipated almost immediately. The sight alone was amazing yet also very scary to witness. It spoke tales about how much these balls could eradicate anything they come close to.
The soldiers down on the ground looked up with their mouths hanging open. This fight was so out of their mental capacities that they turned speechless seeing it from this close.
As for the target of these weapons of mass destruction, he was as powerless as he could be. The giant energy balls missed him but the after-effects of these attacks reached him easily and pushed him violently, making him almost fall down.
When the wind finally calmed down again, Acht thought that he had some time before the next round of attack. But, he couldn\'t be more wrong as while he was trying to evade the giant energy balls, the clones were already preparing another batch.
\'Is their soul force limitless? How many times could they create such a humongous attack?\' He thought.
But, with nothing up his sleeve to reverse these attacks, he pulled out Ooze and made it stick to his arm.
He had an idea in his mind and he wanted to try it.
However, he needed to first find an opening in their lines.
\'Someone or something...Anything! I just need a few seconds after they launch the attack!\' He thought as he looked down.
Without waiting, he pulled out his phone and called Lein.
The phone got picked up quickly and Acht shouted as he looked back at the energy balls coming his way.
"Tell your group to try and change the clones\' aggro the moment they launch the next attack. It doesn\'t need to be for long, just 4 seconds is enough!" He shouted as he zigzagged between the clouds expertly.
He felt his muscles scream with extreme pain because of the constant barrage of wind attacks he had suffered and also because of the twists and turns he did constantly.
Lein didn\'t take a second more before nodding and closing the phone.
Acht then also concentrated on preparing for his plan.
\'Even though they are quite strong, they aren\'t smart at all. If they had some intelligence, this wouldn\'t even be worth trying.\' He thought to himself.
Seconds passed in that state, the sky had already turned into a firework festival because of the constant massive-scale explosions that kept appearing across the whole city and the outskirts.
However, no one could see the two parties fighting because of their constant fast movement.
Suddenly, the clones halted their steps, it was very surprising and out of nowhere. But, Acht didn\'t even waste time processing what happened as he immediately stretched ooze widely into a thick and massive ball with a big hole in it.
Then, he pushed the ball toward the energy attacks that were rushing toward him. The ooze ball reached them and swallowed every energy attack.
Acht stretched his hand to control the ball and what was also happening inside the ball. He knew that any contact with the inside of the ball would trigger a massive chain of explosions that would ultimately destroy the ooze ball and ruin his plan.
So, he had to use gravity manipulation to make the energy balls float silently inside ooze, not touching anything which was so incredibly hard that the veins on Acht\'s arms started exploding from the impossible pressure on his body and the tension.
But, with clenched teeth, he bore with the hellish pain and controlled the situation perfectly. Not even the dangerous amount of blood that was flowing down his arms would stop him.
After making the ooze swallow every energy ball, he closed the ball, and then with the last ounce of strength he had left, he pushed the ball toward the still frozen clones.
The ball flew toward them and then stopped right in the middle.
"You better die now, fuckers!" He shouted before clicking his fingers together.
A compact ball of energy of that size was something that the Lower world never witnessed even during the descension war.
To put it into perspective, this attack alone is stronger than millions of the most advanced nuclear bombs back on earth combined together. Its only shortcoming is that the area it will destroy is way smaller than a nuclear bomb.
By the time the ball reached the clones, Acht had already flown 30 kilometers away from them.
He even looked down and shouted.
"Get as far from there as you could! It\'s going to explode." He said.
The soldiers who were in a daze felt a cold sweat run down their spines as they immediately started evacuating the area.
Nightingale also escaped from there. They wanted to fight the clones but when they saw Acht trying to execute a plan, they halted their plans for the time being until they saw if his plan would work or not.
Then, the ball exploded, what followed was a very strong light that could blind anyone who looked directly at it.
Everyone covered their eyes and hid from the strong heat wave that got generated in that area.
The temperature reached a staggering level that was higher than the core of the sun.
The ground underneath them started melting like ice cream and turned into a messy mix of liquid and ashes.
\'If this doesn\'t kill them, I don\'t know what will.\' He thought to himself as he felt his adrenaline rush increase from the sight.
This was the first time he witnessed something like this in his life.
It was also the first time he witnessed another thing. The space around the explosion area that got multiple hits previously finally cracked completely and a huge tear that resembled a black hole appeared in the middle of the sky.
The tear wasn\'t huge by any means but it was very visible even in the midst of the chaos.
Seeing it, the boy\'s mouth created a small smile that was also mixed with surprise.
\'I feel like I can see the other side of that hole.\'
