Chapter 110: An Echo Of The Past
Outside the Old Building, a fight broke out. Two against countless robed figures, attacking them nonstop.
Three talismans flew like shurikens, hitting three robed figures right in the head. The talismans’ tips instantly turned to flames, burning the robed figures into dark mist.
Meanwhile, Mister Nocty slid back, the tip of his shoes creating shallow tracks until he came to a full halt.
At the same time, Mikel punched the last robed man who came to his side, burning it with just a punch. Unlike Mister Nocty, who used a talisman drawn out of nowhere to fight, Mikel was simply using his fists with barely any spiritual energy to stay undetected.
"Mister Nocty, there’s no end to these guys!" Mikel huffed as he paused, watching the remaining wave of robed figures come at him. He punched and kicked them, dodging their attacks in between.
Even though these robed figures were weaker than he expected, their numbers were making them break a sweat. Mister Nocty also took down another three just when Mikel was able to take a break.
"We have to take them all down before—" the rest of Mister Nocty’s words stopped when the remaining robed figures leapt at them. But that wasn’t what made him stop, but rather, the chanting from that singular robed figure.
There were only a few now, but if that robed figure finished his chant, it would summon more.
Mister Nocty panicked, sprinting toward the robed men coming at him. He flung his fingers, and in that instant, talismans in between each finger materialized. As he shot the talismans to the other figures on his way, he leaped to reach the last remaining robed figure.
His eyes constricted as a red talisman slowly appeared between his index and middle fingers. "You’re not..." he breathed out, eyes glinting malevolently. "...summoning more of your kind!"
At the same time, Mikel’s hand had just slammed one of the robed figures on the ground, which quickly turned into nothing but dust. When he looked up, he saw Mister Nocty floating a few meters above the ground, red energy coming from his fingers, until a red talisman came into sight.
