481 Battle in the Middle of the City
Seeing the face of the young man who had just killed several innocent people, Colonel Adams opened his eyes wide and recognized the scoundrel who had tricked him in Long Bay Correctional Facility.
Seeing that his instincts were right, this man moved toward Vicente while a trident-shaped weapon formed in one of his hands.
"You bastard! I'll kill you!" He shouted as he jumped at Vicente, causing his four pentagrams to appear while many spatial distortions appeared in the surrounding area.
Weapons similar to the silver trident in Adam's hands appeared, emitting powerful sensations that could make Acolytes faint.
Two of the three Mazzanti family soldiers there fainted when Adams displayed his power, while the third remained standing, clad in the 1.0 version of the robotic armor.
"Bastards! Die!" The soldier pulled a revolver from his storage item and pointed it at the soldiers standing with Adams.
Bang!
When the first shot rang out, Adams was attacking Vicente, but not only him but everyone else there turned their eyes to the royal soldier hit by the first shot.
That was a Low-level Mage, while the man from the Mazzanti family who attacked was only a level 4 Acolyte!
When he didn't see the head of one of his men at the level of the man's neck, Adams opened his mouth in astonishment, almost losing his focus on the battle.
Shelby saw this and broke into a cold sweat, realizing that she would be in grave danger herself if she didn't join the fight!
"Shit!" She yelled as she drew her own weapon, already aiming at the powerful enemies around her.
Vicente had already killed the 9 passers-by in the vicinity. With the fall of the first royal soldier, there were 6 Mages, and Adams left for them to eliminate.
Although they were outnumbered in this conflict, they were not at a disadvantage!
Vicente ignored his only two allies in the area to focus all his attention on Adams.
"You shouldn't have done that," Vicente said as he looked into the man's eyes, moving his mana as he ran around, dodging the tridents thrown by the enemy.
"You must be Cesar Mazzanti. I'm going to take you down today, you bastard!" Shouted this Earth Sovereign, full of anger at Vicente for what had happened earlier.
Unfortunately for Adams, Vicente was no longer the Low-level Mage who had broken into Long Bay Correctional Facility!
Vicente was now a High-level Mage, and his magical foundation had dramatically evolved since he had passed through that prison unit.
As he dodged Adam's attacks, Vicente could feel the threat of this Sovereign very well. Such a man was strong, very strong, but if Adams made the slightest mistake, Vice would have the opportunity to take him down!
'I might not be able to kill you in a fair fight. But things are different here, Adams.' Vicente's eyes narrowed as he formed a hand seal.
As Adams' trident flew around, several metal weapons with the same trident shape appeared in the area, coming from the ground, the surrounding buildings, and the armor of the men around.
No one there had prepared to fight Cesar Mazzanti that day. At the same time, Vicente's soldiers always carried a lot of metal items.
In the blink of an eye, Adams found himself surrounded by flying weapons trying to hit him, making it difficult for him to take direct action against Vicente.
Even though he was at a higher level than his opponent, he couldn't ignore Vice's attacks. The young man's attacks were already enough to seriously injure him!
"Shit!" He cursed as he flew, hating Vicente even more for being so difficult to defeat.
Vicente felt less pressured in this fight and increased the number of attacks and the power of each of his moves, causing lightning bolts to appear in the surroundings.
Meanwhile, strange earth shapes formed on the ground, and firearms formed in their hands.
'What is he doing?' Adams wondered at the sight.
But before he could discover the truth, he suddenly felt a terrible sensation in his body and noticed an increasing difficulty in moving his limbs and breathing properly.
'What is it?' He swallowed his saliva as he slowed his movements to deflect one of Vicente's weapons around him, eventually being forced to defend himself to avoid suffering from the attack.
He still managed to move to defend himself, spinning his trident so fast that the weapon attacking him was thrown away.
Bang!
As the shots from Vicente's allies rang out, earth dolls fired their weapons at Adams, sending bullets that the man was unable to deflect or defend against.
"Gotcha!" Vicente muttered as he saw the man hit by three bullets, one in one of his legs and the other two in his back.
'Your strength is very great, so much so that I wasn't able to manipulate the metals in your cells very much. But now I can put something of mine into you!'
Vicente's third pentagram glowed brightly as the lightning element in those bullets intensified to electrocute Adams.
Amidst this man's shock, he felt something else as he saw his surroundings distort as if he had suddenly become very drunk.
"Damn!" He realized the trouble he was in as he felt his mental part being rapidly eroded by his opponent's skill.
With the first mistake of this fight, Adams felt the power of Vicente's third skill, which was not a bit weaker than this Sovereign's fourth skill!
A mental attack could be fatal for someone in combat. If one didn't have far superior skills, fighting on two fronts, mental and physical, would be impossible. In that case, the warrior would either have their mind severely wounded trying to protect themselves physically, or they would have their body mortally wounded trying to protect their minds.
Either way, having one's mind attacked was terrible and could mean death!
Adams felt this in practice!
While his last men had already fallen on the outskirts to Shelby and the soldier in the robotic armor, Adams felt as if he had suddenly been cut off from reality.
He lost control of his body as he tried to protect his mind from destruction.
But in doing so, he made himself vulnerable to Vicente, giving the young man room to manipulate metal weapons towards the Sovereign's chest.
Vicente could already be considered a 3rd-stage blacksmith, though he had no such credential. By the time he had formed a large sword, it could already be considered a 3rd-grade artifact, not far from 4th grade.
It sliced through the air, making a distinctive sound as it flew toward Adam's heart.
The Sovereign showed no reaction as it fell from the sky. As soon as Vicente made the final move with his blade, it easily penetrated Adams' body, piercing him right through the heart!
