Chapter 221: Operation Wolf Slayer. (Part 09)
Dante was static for a single moment, allowing himself to enjoy the impact from the solid shoulder slam he had just performed. The blade in his hands had met some resistance, but it broke through, piercing the cloaked hero. With a mental command, he willed the blade in his hands to extend. Feeling the moment it exited from the other side, he gave another command then let go of the blade just as the second hero in black lunged at him.
Shrouded in the Mist Veil, Dante jumped away from his first victim and held out a hand, activation another ability. A small bubble appeared from his palm, expanding all the way to the ceiling before shrinking to the size of a football. When he let go of it, the bubble flew toward his target who attempted to evade it, but that was a big mistake.
BOOM!
Aqua Mines exploded upon impact, true, but there was a remote detonator as well. The second hero, likely the leader, reacted fast enough to shield his head from the explosion. The mine wasn’t lethal, but it contained enough force to send him flying, giving Dante the opening he needed to retreat back into the mist, commanding it to fill the cleared gap.
’One down, two to go.’
As that thought crossed his mind, he noticed the red figure of the third hero running in his direction. Aware that Aqua Prison wouldn’t be able to trap someone who can phase through walls, Dante didn’t pay him too much mind and retreated farther.
’8-3’
[Right Away.]
Soon after Volcan changed his Armor, Dante activated Rift Creation and placed the portal’s exit behind a corner a dozen or so meters down the corridor the three heroes were hiding in. With the entrance right behind him, he jumped back and fell through a hole in the floor, landing soundlessly.
’2-3’
[Yes.]
