Chapter 62: Mutants
Valkyrie takes his baseball bat and rampages through a hail of bullets. In the face of her high-speed movements, most of the gangster gunmen were knocked out before they could even take aim. And a few elites were ruthlessly crushed by Galadia from a distance.
The gangsters, who had been attacked by surprise, resisted for less than a quarter of an hour before scattering into the dark alleys, where Pompey's men were waiting for them.
"Be careful, there's a great one coming." Galadia felt an electromagnetic wave of radiation sweep over her position, it should be the local mutant who was scouting the enemy's situation.
When Valkyrie heard this, he immediately stopped his progress and shouted, "It's not good to peep at the lady, come out quickly." β
A man in a heavy metal style walked out from the back of the street, wearing a black jacket that showed his black hairy pectoral muscles, and his trousers and boots were chained with metal, looking haughtily at the attacking Pompey gangsters.
"I am the owner of this neighborhood, Zeus. If you don't want to be coke, get out of my turf. β
"It's just a gangster, and he uses such a big name." Galadia pouted, "Valkyrie, be careful, this guy is a mutant with a mana specialty unlike his rough appearance, don't let him get away." β
"Mage? Well, I'm the biggest fan of bullying mages. Valkyrie burst out of the corner where he was hiding with lightning speed, as fast as a phantom. Her boots had two wings on them, and she flew as she ran.
"Eat me with a thunderbolt!" Zeus pointed with his right hand, and an arc of lightning slashed over.
"Boom!" A silver beam volley collided with his arc and exploded into a bright fireball.
"What!" Zeus was startled that something could hit his thunderbolt.
Before he could finish his surprise, Valkyrie pierced through the flames and slammed his knee against Zeus's chin.
The poor man immediately flew out two broken teeth.
Valkyrie stepped on Zeus's face and slapped him on the face with a spear: "You see yourself as a raptor, and in my eyes you are an untrained earthworm baby." Mistreating you is a matter of two sticks. β
"If I were you, let go of my men and get out of here." A fat man slowly walked out of the gloomy street.
Valkyrie picked up Zeus and threw it aside, then slowly approached Galadia, "Who is this man?" It looks like it's quite tugging. β
Galadia recalled for a moment, and hurriedly distanced herself from her companion: "Be careful, this is that level 4 mutant black hole, and the ability is to manipulate gravity. β
"Level 4 mutant black hole. Race: Mutant humans. Attributes: Strength 5, Agility 3, Stamina 5, Perception 20, Intelligence 45, Spirit 45, Charisma 9.
Special Ability 1: ???
Special Ability 2: ??? β
As soon as the words fell, the black hole had already stretched out his hands, and Galadia and Valkyrie felt like they were being pressed up with a weight of hundreds of kilograms, and they could barely move.
Along with them were four or five gangster gunmen who followed them. Under the pressure of gravity, the bones of the gangsters twisted and cracked with a terrifying sound, and blood poured from their mouths and noses.
"Fire! Fire and kill him! The gunmen exclaimed and raised their guns to shoot, but the bullets could not fly out of the gravity vortex and fell to the ground.
"This guy is tricky!" Valkyrie didn't expect to be controlled in the first place. The weight of the burden was on her shoulders, and her nasal passages were hot and seemed to be bleeding. She tried to throw her spear, but she couldn't fly far before it fell to the ground.
"It's so naΓ―ve, in front of my gravity vortex, even a god can't escape!" The black hole smirked, but he was also very cautious, and he didn't have the slightest intention of stopping casting spells until the enemy had lost his combat effectiveness.
"It's interesting, it's the first time I've faced such an enemy." Galadia closed her eyes and sketched out the location and shape of the black hole in the sea of consciousness.
In the silent and dark sea of knowledge, Galadia seems to have entered another space without sound and image. The fluctuations of life and energy around me loom in the mind.
"Good, the right direction!" Galadia was sure that she was on the right track, resisting the accumulation of gravity on her body and going deeper into the sea of consciousness.
A small, barely visible spatial rift appeared in the depths of the Sea of Consciousness, and although it was unrecognizable to the naked eye, Galadia could determine that it was at the heart of the gravity vortex, creating a huge gravitational pull.
From the position of the black hole, there is a constant emitting telekinesis/spiritual energy, and there is an indescribable connection with the spatial rift, as if it is trying to maintain the existence of this gravitational vortex from collapsing.
"That's easy to understand." Galadia found this state of affairs very interesting, "It's no wonder that this mutant didn't attack us at the same time. It should be extremely difficult to maintain this gravitational vortex. However, in that case, my countermeasures are clear, aren't they? β
Galadia aimed her mind at the Level 4 mutant black hole, and concentrated on transmitting the oppressive force of her will. After reaching LV5 in her base perception, she has gained the passive skill Disrupted, which increases the probability of perception suppression by an additional 10% for targets whose perception attribute is lower than her own. When she actively focuses her attention on a target, there is also a chance that she can inflict a chaotic or fearful effect on them for 2 seconds, during which the target will not be able to move and greatly reduce their defense. The lower the target's perception stat, the higher the success rate of messing with the target.
The black hole, which was proudly using his abilities, suddenly felt like he had been hit on the head, and a heavy pressure choked his throat. The suffocating fear rolled through his mind, causing him to lose control of the gravitational vortex all at once.
"Huh~? What's going on? The black hole looked blankly left and right, and suddenly a shadow appeared in front of him.
In the exclamation of his subordinates, Galadia blasted out a beam of light almost at zero distance.
The black hole with intelligence and spiritual expertise barely had time to adjust the mental power shield as a defense before he was hit head-on, and the powerful shockwave knocked him back more than ten meters, rolling on the ground.
Galadia knew that her disruption would be successful, but it would be much less effective against such a high-attribute enemy. Once the black hole reacts from the shock, it is likely to use other skills to fight back, and even as long as it mobilizes mental power to form a shield, it is enough to protect itself.
But just one interrupting effect is enough.
Without the slightest hint of capture or mercy, she shot 10 arrows at the black hole rolling on the ground. A barrage of light pierced the black hole's flesh, and by the time he rolled to the corner, the corpse was already mutilated.
"You killed the strongest man in this world, the Level 4 Mutant Black Hole.
This kill will have an unpredictable impact on the pattern of the world. You gain an additional 2 Honor points. β
There was even an honor reward, Galadia raised her eyebrows and smiled.
"Gravitational fragments of the Void. Grade: Silver. Use: Can permanently master the 'Gravitational Vortex Skill'.
Skill Description: Creates a spatial rift with a strong gravitational effect and causes a gravitational pull effect on everything within a radius of 25 meters. Substances that enter the effect cannot be moved. This skill requires continuous casting, consuming 50 mana per second. β
"It's so high blue consumption~ Do you want Valkyrie?" Galadia hesitated for a moment, this skill is quite powerful, but it consumes a lot when it is used, and it will make itself a target if it continues to cast spells, so it is not a skill suitable for him.
Valkyrie had just broken free of gravity and fell to his knees, gasping for breath, "No, no. This thing is really harmful to others and yourself~ How stupid people have to be to use such skills in battle. β
