Chapter 627 Less constraints
Rebecca\'s heart skipped a beat at his words, a chill running down her spine as she realized what he meant. She looked at the mustached man, his face pale and drawn, his eyes wide with terror, knowing that he had just sealed his fate.
Erik\'s grip on the man\'s arm tightened, and he turned to Rebecca with pleading eyes. However, Erik unsheathed his Flyssa and decapitated the man without a second thought.
Rebecca had seen these kinds of things in the past, so she was used to it, but Erik\'s brutality left her shocked. She looked at him with her mouth open agape, unable to say anything about his out-of-character behavior.
"Let\'s go," Erik said, his words a clear and chilling command. "We have what we need."
As Erik and Rebecca proceeded toward the building, an atmosphere of tension and uncertainty pervaded the area. The tall structure loomed closer with each step, its dark facade offering no welcome.
Rebecca finally broke the silence, her voice tight with concern. "Erik, what do you intend to do? You\'re not thinking of just marching in through the main door, are you?"
Erik\'s response was immediate and firm. "That\'s exactly what I want to do."
Rebecca\'s eyes widened, disbelief in her voice as she exclaimed, "Have you lost your mind?"
Erik\'s face hardened, his eyes reflecting a steely resolve. "No, I haven\'t. But I\'m sick of playing games."
Rebecca could hear the edge in his voice, something that spoke of a realization, a shift in perspective that had changed his approach.
"What games are you talking about?" she asked, unable to mask her confusion.
Erik was silent for a moment, gathering his thoughts. He realized that the previous fight had taught him something vital about his own abilities. The average person, even those at the ν level, was no match for him anymore, as the massive number of neural links made him much stronger than that level.
His physical prowess alone was enough to dominate the battlefield, a strength that was akin to a θ ranked fighter. He was nearly on a par with General Becker and he was sick of having to keep a low profile.
Now, with most of his enemies significantly weaker than him, he had no intention of holding back. He was ready to unleash his full power and show what he was truly capable of. <Until now, I\'ve always hesitated to fight against people, considering their techniques and weapons. But now I know there are very few who can fight with me on equal terms if we talk about physical might. >
He paused his inner thoughts, his mind drifting to the Xeridon Anteris brain crystal power that could further amplify his strength. It was an edge, a powerful tool that he could wield, but not without limits.
<But I must be mindful of my mana. It\'s significantly lower than many, and using my full strength could drain me quickly… >
Despite this knowledge, Erik remained resolute in his plan to enter through the main door; he wanted to take action. However, he had to pay attention to Rebecca; she was much weaker than him.
Erik\'s boots hit the pavement with deliberate force as he headed toward the building\'s main entrance. Rebecca trailed behind, her eyes shifting towards the emerging figures - most likely Crystal Cross Gang members.
Dressed in regular clothes, they watched Erik closely, realizing he was a threat. The tension in the air was palpable, a storm brewing that was about to break.
Without warning, Erik\'s pace quickened, his stride lengthening as he reached the building\'s door. With a powerful kick, he sent the door crashing to the ground, the sound of splintering wood echoing through the silence like a gunshot.
For a moment, the world seemed to freeze, the shock of Erik\'s audacity rippling through the alley. Then chaos erupted.
Approximately twenty gang members, their faces twisted in anger, rushed toward Erik. They drew their weapons, their blades and staves glowing with mana as they channeled their energy through their neural links.
Erik\'s response was swift and brutal. He unsheathed his Flyssa, the blade singing as it cut through the air, a deadly dance that left no room for mercy. His movements were fluid, a symphony of violence that struck with lethal precision.
The first attacker fell before he could even raise his weapon, Erik\'s blade slicing through his throat in a spray of blood. Erik skillfully parried a mana-infused sword swing and countered with a stroke that severed the attacker\'s arm.
Rebecca, though stunned by the ferocity of Erik\'s assault, quickly joined the fray, her own powers unleashed as she engaged the attackers.
The street became a battlefield, a whirlwind of movement and sound, the clash of steel and the cries of the fallen filling the air. Erik moved with relentless energy, each strike calculated, each movement a step toward one goal: Kill. He also ensured nothing happened to Rebecca. His strength was on full display, a might that seemed almost inhuman as he cut down his enemies without pause.
There was no holding back, no room for hesitation. Erik\'s blade danced through the chaos, a relentless force that left destruction in its wake. Bodies fell, lives extinguished in the blink of an eye as he moved through the room, his Flyssa a blur of motion.
The gang members fought desperately, their numbers dwindling rapidly as Erik and Rebecca cut through their ranks. The gang members\' efforts were futile against the onslaught, their attacks clumsy and uncoordinated in the face of Erik\'s might.
As the last of the attackers fell, the street went into an eerie silence, the echoes of battle fading away. The floor was slick with blood, the air heavy with the scent of death.
Erik stood, his chest heaving a little, his Flyssa dripping crimson, his eyes cold and unyielding. The carnage was over, and the battle was won. However, Erik and Rebecca heard people rushing out of the building with haste.
He turned to Rebecca, his face set, his determination unwavering. "Let\'s move," he said, his voice a hushed command.
