Chapter 168 Escape (I)
168 Escape (I)
Morgana and the three scientists acted immediately, unleashing their Wave Cloaks. Cristian and the masked old woman could resist the flames, but the other two scientists in the room were not so strong and instantly incinerated.
That duo was the no only one harmed since the open door allowed direct access to the rest of the floor, allowing the flames to kill or maim almost everybody in it.
Morgana and Cristian jumped out of the room, and both of them had severe burn wounds all over their bodies. The masked old woman was pale and could barely keep her Wave Cloak bursting.
Before the duo could even take a breath, Iris, wearing full armor and wielding her rapier, flashed toward them while dark winds moved around her body.
Orlando had left Iris’ space ring with her belongings to one of the now-dead scientists, and since they did not bother to brand them, it was easy for the young woman to take back possession of it.
Cristian immediately put himself in front of Morgana as his Astral Wave exploded, and his skin turned metallic bronze. He knew that Iris was a powerful Level 8 Wave Warrior but was sure that the genetic flaws should have hindered her power and that he should be able to contend with her with his Level 7 cultivation.
However, Cristian made a grave mistake since not only were the genetic flaws on Iris very few, but the Lineage that awakened inside her body granted more than just a rise in her physical strength.
Iris waved her rapier, sending large sharp arcs of dark wind toward Cristian and Morgana.
Cristian’s eyes widened as he saw how those arcs of dark wind cut his bronze skin as if it was nothing. Iris’ attack split his body into almost a dozen pieces, and he died instantly.
.....
Morgana was also shocked by the outrageous power that Iris unleashed, and a flash of enlightenment crossed her eyes since she knew the reason. However, now was not the time to think, and using the precious second that Cristian’s protection gave her, she flashed toward her room.
