Chapter 37: Fierce Battle (4)
Bucky responded to Francis's angry roar and a red energy blast, but for this kind of long-range attack, Bucky was already able to deal with it very calmly, just a light jump, and dodged the energy shock.
Francis didn't pause when he missed, and a wave of energy shot at Bucky like a machine gun.
Looking at Francis, who was angered like this by his own words, Bucky shook his head, it seems that Stryker's transformation has not only turned Francis into a half-human, half-mechanical monster, but even his original personality has changed a lot.
Although the original Francis did not have such a powerful combat power as he is now, he would definitely not easily lose his mind in battle, and even in the face of life and death, the original Francis could be treated calmly.
And now Francis, although he has the power he dreamed of, has lost the heart of a warrior that he originally had, and now he is just a madman dominated by power.
"Francis, look at what a monster you look like now!" Bucky dodged Francis's attacks as he continued to provoke him with words, "Attaching mechanical limbs to my body is a method I have abandoned, do you think you can defeat me by following my old path?" ”
Sideways dodged Francis's axe, and Bucky found that the axe was much slower than before, making it easier to dodge, and it seemed that the energy blast had destroyed the components in Francis's metal arm.
This was good news for Bucky, as Francis pulled out the axe that had been cut into the ground, and Bucky finally picked up an iron rod from the ground, which seemed to be part of the cage where the mutants had been held before, and was swept away from the cage by the battle, with a large piece of cement attached to one end of the iron rod.
Bucky didn't stop, and with a wave of his hand, the iron rod swept towards Francis's head.
Hearing only the sound of "dang", the iron rod was blocked by Francis's metal right arm, and it was immediately bent into an L-shape, but Francis's metal arm was not damaged at all. The only effect of this blow was that the cement at the end of the iron rod was shattered by the vibration caused by the impact of the iron rod and Francis's metal arm, and the large amount of debris and dust made Francis disgraced and embarrassed.
The impact of the iron rod and Francis's metal arm also caused Bucky's left hand to shatter, and he couldn't hold it tightly, and with a bang, the iron rod fell to the ground.
Jumping two steps back, dodging a counterattack from Francis, looking at Francis's dusty and embarrassed face at this time, Bucky pursed his lips and teased: "Look at your face, it's so embarrassing, Francis, are you still a kid who likes to roll on the ground, otherwise how would you make yourself so dirty?" ”
The successive taunts made Francis gradually lose his mind, and although the attacks were very lethal, Bucky was a little easier to dodge.
Bucky knew that the time for him to fight back was coming, and now Francis's mental power was about to drop to its lowest point, so he just needed to find the right time to release his mental power and affect Francis's brain, making him hallucinate, revealing flaws, and creating an opportunity for himself to kill with one blow.
Just as Bucky was looking for an opportunity, a scream suddenly came, and it turned out to be Raven's voice!
Following the direction from which the screams came, Bucky found that more than ten meters away, Raven had been caught by Angel's neck, and one of Raven's arms hung weakly to the side, apparently broken.
This change really surprised Bucky, who never expected that Raven, who had always had the upper hand, would suddenly reach a life-and-death juncture, and as long as Angel used force, he could break her neck.
Bucky couldn't find the best time to do it, so he immediately unleashed his mental power and invaded Francis's brain.
Through mental power, Bucky could feel that there was chaos in Francis's brain at this time, hatred for Bucky, dissatisfaction with his own strength, and even resentment towards Stryker, all intertwined, no wonder Francis's battle at this time would be so disorganized, and there was no extra space in his brain to think about the battle.
After the psychic forces invaded Francis's brain, Bucky immediately constructed an illusion.
The next moment, in Francis's eyes, his biggest enemy was more than ten meters away, and his hands grabbed the throat of his lover and assistant Angel, who had no power to resist and was about to die on the spot.
Francis was shocked in his heart, and without thinking about it, he raised his left arm, and a hot energy attack shot at Bucky in his eyes, hitting directly!
However, the real situation was that Angel, who was about to solve Raven, suddenly felt a burning pain in her back, and the next moment her chest was attacked by the scorching energy, and a large hole was opened in her chest, and her heart and lungs were all turned to ashes.
Angel used all her strength to turn her head and saw Francis grinning in the distance.
"Why...... For ......"
Angel wondered why Francis had suddenly attacked her, and why she had such a smile when she was about to die, but she had no time to spare. The next moment, he fell to the ground with a thud.
Raven was saved, and looked at Francis incredulously, she couldn't understand why the enemy would suddenly intervene, kill his accomplices, and save herself.
And all this happened in the eyes of Francis is completely different, his enemy is finally killed, and the death is ugly, while his lover Angel is saved because of his own action, and is looking at him with grateful eyes.
Raven's crisis is over, but Francis hasn't been killed yet, the illusion won't last long, and Bucky has to strike immediately and kill Francis.
Quickly coming to Francis, Bucky turned his palm into a knife, and with a single blow the knife, he slashed at Francis's fragile Adam's apple, shattering the throat cartilage in one fell swoop.
If it were someone else, the severe pain would have rendered Bucky's illusion ineffective, but Francis, the hapless guy, had lost all his senses, didn't feel the laryngeal cartilage shatter at all, and didn't realize that he was in the illusion Bucky had constructed.
Of course, just smashing the throat cartilage can't kill a super soldier, and Bucky's next blow follows, striking Francis in the throat again.
After several attacks, all the bones in Francis's neck were shattered, and his life came to an end.
At the last moment of his life, Francis finally got rid of the illusion created by Bucky, looking at Angel who fell to the ground in the distance, already exhausted, Francis wanted to say something, but opened his mouth, but he couldn't make any sound, and finally passed away with unwillingness and resentment.
The huge consumption of physical and mental power dazzled Bucky, and he squatted on the ground and checked Francis to make sure that he really didn't have any signs of life, before finally breathing a sigh of relief. Bucky didn't want this guy to be resurrected by some Frankenstein and transformed into an even more perverted monster to get himself in trouble.
"How did you do that?" Raven also walked over at this point and asked Bucky quizzically.
Raven still doesn't understand why Francis would suddenly attack Angel and not react in the slightest when facing Bucky's final attack, which is really unreasonable. This situation reminds Raven of Professor X's telepathic abilities, but Bucky claims to be not a mutant, and his abilities are more like a super soldier in all aspects, and he doesn't look like a person who can have telepathy.
"Secret, you know, we still need to keep some private space between us." Bucky, who had eliminated Francis, was in a good mood, and his words actually tasted a little flirtatious.
Raven pursed his lips, and finally didn't ask any more, but gave Bucky's strength a higher score in his heart, and his mystery deepened a little.
"Is your arm badly injured?" Looking at Ravendra's left arm, Bucky asked with concern.
"It's just a minor fracture."
After saying that, Raven grabbed his left arm with his right hand, and with a force, after two "clicks", Raven's left arm regained its mobility, and the broken bone had been restored to her original position.
Seeing that Raven's face did not change his face and gave him bones, Bucky was very impressed. When it comes to mutant abilities, Raven's transformation ability doesn't improve much in terms of combat, but she still has no less combat power than Logan, all because of her brave and fearless spirit.
"Just now, there was a person on the other side whose eyes could emit energy light, and he was your friend?" Raven apparently noticed the conversation between Bucky and Wade during the battle, and asked curiously.
"yes, but it's controlled by Stryker, and he should be able to get out of control by letting him die once."
Bucky knew that Stryker had used his son Jason's mutant abilities to create illusions to keep Wade under control, and that this illusion could be broken if Wade was subjected to enough pain.
As for what is painful enough, Bucky feels that the pain of having his head cut off should be enough, and Logan in the movie can cut off Wade's head with Victor, and Bucky believes that Logan in the here and now can do the same.
Raven didn't quite understand what Bucky said, but didn't ask much, but walked outside with Bucky, wanting to see how Bucky was going to solve the problem of his friend being controlled.
As soon as they went out, Bucky and Raven saw two red beams of energy spinning and falling from the top of an abandoned nuclear reactor in the distance, and after a few seconds, the entire reactor began to collapse.
"Logan really didn't disappoint me, and finally cut off Wade's head, and now the task is to find Wade's head and get his head back." Bucky muttered to himself.
