Chapter 224: Operation Wolf Slayer. (Part 12)
The moment he saw the black feathers, something clicked in Dante’s mind. Why didn’t Raven prevent him from escaping after stabbing the tracker? He had the range and visibility so he could have used his telekinesis to capture him right then and there. Instead, he tried attacking him and lost the chance after taking an explosion to the face.
The answer was simple: Raven needs to mark his targets first. Only then would his ability work on them.
As he struggled to remain upright, Dante felt his entire body being pulled forward. That kicked his mind into high gear, and he quickly decided on his next move. Instead of trying to resist the pull, he let go and allowed the hero to pull him, pretending to lose control the entire time.
Raven was clearly struggling, so much so that he had to hold up a hand as if the ability came from it instead of his mind. When Dante was in the air, the hero raised his blade, preparing to slash again, but then he leaped away.
Landing, Dante watched as his opponent turned around and took off running. It took him a few seconds to understand what was happening, but by the time he turned around, it was too late.
The other two were gone.
’Motherf*cker...’
[Be careful, Dante.] Said Volcan. [The leader doesn’t seem to have retreated entirely.]
Summoning Blue Ember’s 3D model, Dante looked searched it for the red dots representing his enemies. He immediately noticed two of them dropping from one floor to the other, not even going through the stairs. The third one was still on the twenty-eighth floor.
’So one of them is a distraction while the other two escape...’ Dante thought. ’Yeah, dream on.’
Taking a deep breath, he gave his resident AI an order.
