Chapter 18: Crisis
Kaizer breathed out a sigh of relief and glanced casually at Leo, who was frowning heavily. Leo looked over to Lyle and saw that the guy was in really bad shape and would need to be healed soon if he ever wanted to regain use of his arms, which made him curse how vicious this young man was.
"You have done well. You killed Carla by yourself and crippled both Lyle and Barnes, a feat I will admit that even I cannot do. However, have you considered the consequences of your actions?" Leo asked as he stood up, glaring at Kaizer coldly.
Kaizer was not in the mood to trade words since he knew Leo was stalling for time to activate his ability's power.
The abilities of this squad were pretty straightforward.
The first, Carla, had the E-Rank Esper Ability of Feline Shifting, allowing her to take the form of a humanoid cat woman. She would then possess the reflexes of a house cat, the agility of a panther, and the strength of a lioness.
The second, Barnes, possessed the F-Rank Esper Ability of Strength Enhancement, which boosted his base strength passively in proportion to his body weight. The fatter he could make himself, the more muscle he would gain when he unleashed his full strength.
The third, Lyle, possessed the F-Rank ability of Hypnotism. He could force a single person to do his bidding as long as his hypnosis took effect, and the strength of the hypnotized person could potentially be higher than his if their mental strength was weak.
The fourth, Leo, possessed the C-Rank ability of Marked Teleportation. He—and those he marked—could teleport up to 50 kilometers between any person he had previously marked. He could only have three active marks at any time. One mark was on Lyle, one mark was on Barnes, and the final one was on... Raul.
Leo could send people to and from himself, acting like a base station as long as the mark was present. He and his three marked people were interconnected in terms of accessibility, and the farther they were from each other, the more they could do.
