Chapter 481 The Covenant’s Battle
Five members of the Void Assassins, the Covenant, and Roselyn appeared in a large cube-shaped room.
The group was on full alert and immediately moved away from their position, anticipating an attack.
"Where are we?" Dara frowned.
"I don't know. But that General took away our leader!" John frowned.
"Titan. Take over. You are trained by the boss and Kristine to take over." Danny ordered.
"Oh? The Covenant of the Strongest!" Roselyn smiled.
"Who are you?" Titan frowned.
"Oh, my little bucktooth friend. I'm Roselyn."
"This is Roselyn, younger sister of Madam Rosa." A Void Assassin greeted.
"Oh! So that's why you have Chinese armor!" Titan nodded.
"You're one-off those 'stronger than all Inhumans, but weaker than a Ranked Hero!'"
"An Unranked Hero?" Dara frowned.
"Sort of. I don't want to take the test. I know the risk of becoming one is." Roselyn chuckled.
"Focus everyone! Why did we not meet any attack? I was prepared to defend against it." Dara frowned.
"If we are going with what General Seeker said, we should be facing a boss. Unlike before, where Small Willy was using his Presider powers to affect a large area, he is now concentrating it on certain areas. Each of us will be facing a Pioneer or some of his strongest techs." Titan recalled.
"So, where is the big boss?" John wondered.
"Void Assassin. I haven't seen you fight. How do you guys fight? What are your techs?" Dara asked.
"I've you've seen us fight before this mission, then we have failed the name of Void Assassin. Each of us has our own Skills. But in general, all of us can move in and out of place we call the Void. It was through that space we could move and attack. Master harnesses this full power, and we are only trained in entering the void and passing through it at a limited distance unless prompted by Master Rai. Our techs are not as explosive as the rest, but as per Seeker and Arthur's orders, our techs allow us to attack within the Void. In short, our attacks could ignore defenses." One of the Void Assassins answered.
"Sounds awesome!" Danny laughed.
"Eh? If it sounds so strong, why haven't your attacks hit me?"
"Your ice forms even in the Void, madam. Such tricks won't work against a Ranked Hero or someone like you. Of course, if it was master attacking you, it'll be a different story."
It was then that everyone could feel the entire space they were moving.
"Sirs, and mams. Our enemy is moving." One of the Void Assassin reported.
"You don't say?" Dara rolled her eyes in agitation.
"Don't worry about her. She's always like this. Titan. What do you see?" Danny asked.
"Pretty much the same thing I saw outside. Electric currents and magnetic currents guide every metal in this cube. Right now, it's doing something annoying that might stop even the Void Assassins from teleporting through.
KZZZT!
A Void Assassin was suddenly thrown in the air, and he landed on his feet.
"Correct. There is a strange electrical field that blocks the Void. We could break through it, but it will cost a lot."
Suddenly, several small metals found from the cubes' walls gathered and formed a metallic figure of a familiar young teen.
"Danny. So you're here. You like this place?'
"Hello, Small Willy!" Danny chuckled.
"Laugh while you can. I'll punish you for everything you and that bitch did to me! But I still want to see your techs. And the energy that I have isn't enough to kill all of you if you tried to escape since I sent a bulk of my power to handle the Progenitor and those strong allies of his with his same Phallium suit. So I guess this massive robot will do for now to help me see what techs you have."
"What massive robot? If it's cloaked, I should see or sense it." Titan frowned.
"Show me your skill, Covenant of the Strongest! I want to see what experiments that Progenitor applied on you!" Lanterk laughed, and suddenly, the Universe Energy erupted out of him. The metallic pieces that created the young teen suddenly flew away from each other, and at the same time, the metal walls of the cube flew as out and began to gather to the center.
The metal itself began to generate electrical currents powered by Universe Energy gave life to it.
"I guess that's the robot. Dimensional Upholding, huh? I signed up for this mission to fight a Presider. But now, the real body of that being is in a dimension beyond this. We're practically fighting a Principal. I should have known what I would expect when signing up for a mission led by Crazy Carlean..." Titan sighed.
"So basically, we are programs fighting against a programmer." Roselyn chuckled.
"Let's attack! The enemy has graciously given us an opportunity to attack it while it's still forming!" Dara ran and began to shoot several beams.
The rest followed and began to shoot ranged attacks.
The beams struck the approaching metals, but they kept on forming.
Soon, more metals began to appear and fly out towards them, but everyone managed to easily evade the metals that flew out from their back or even from the very floor they stood on.
KT! KT!
Electrical attacks began to form and attack them, and each member used their own special ability to evade.
Most of the Void Assassin created strange black energy on their palm that blocked the electrical attack.
"Focus on the robot and not the floors and wall! I could see that the core of this strange magic was right at the center.
Roselyn nodded and raised her two hands. Her entire body began to create frost, and a powerful surge of cold fusion occurred, and blue energy gathered between the palms of her two hands.
BLAST!
An ice beam shot towards the center of the robot, and the electrical current itself began to freeze!
"Are you sure you're not a Ranked Hero?" John laughed as he went on position to shoot.
BANG! BANG! BANG!
Explosions continued to erupt as John sent out several attacks. But even as the body of the massive iron titan was freezing and blowing apart, its body continued to form.
The metal body was not only forming, but it was moving. The hand of the robot formed, and it began to shoot powerful laser attacks.
"Where did that laser come from?!" Dara was frightened.
BOOM!
The Ice beam met the laser, and an explosion occurred.
"Um... I can't keep shooting those beams, you know." Roselyn chuckled.
More beams were shot, and Dara stepped forward and controlled her armor to create two massive shields with the technology that combined the strongest metal and Richie's sound Path.
BOOM!
The beam created a vibration that released the power of sound, creating a pseudo sound wall that threw back the attack,
The attack caused Dara to use up her cells which was the power source of the generated sounds.
BOOM!
John quickly launched a counter-attack which damaged the arm, and stopped the beam.
Danny suddenly appeared with a Void Assassin, and the two teleported directly inside the center of the hole in the arm caused by John's attack.
Danny sliced and attacked the arm with a whirling speed that harnessed lightning and kept it from forming.
The Void Assassins also appeared and began to attack.
They used a booster tech based on the Four-Force Accelerator and shot with incredible speed towards the forming metals that began to gather.
Suddenly, the Void Assassins disappeared, and several strange explosions appeared. One half of the explosion occurred at one part in space while the other half explored several meters away from it.
The explosions caused instability in the formation of the robot, and several parts of the robot fell.
"This battle is not just here! It's in the dimensions beyond! If we want to fight this thing, we need to attack the form of this robot in the dimension beyond!" Titan deduced as seeing that the bombs and weapons that the Void Assassins used affected various pieces.
"I see it!" John finally saw it as the explosions occurred.
"Void Assassins! Send us to the Void!" Titan suddenly called out.
"What? You won't survive there!"
"Our eyes and senses can see through it! This is the only way!" John shouted.
"The rest of you, keep attacking and destroying that robot here! Will be fighting it in the Void!"
"Roger!" Danny and Dara answered.
"Gather in one place! Roselyn, protect us!"
Roselyn created another massive force of ice.
"This is like fighting against Brother-in-Law!" Roselyn cursed and clasped her arms, creating a gigantic iceburg that covered everyone.
Roselyn began to create a massive ice block that surrounded John and Titan as they met with the Void Assassins, who teleported into the void.
"As if I'll let you!" lanterk shouted.
The entire room began to attack and harass them continually while more and more of the robot form.
But all of a sudden, the pieces that fell began to fly and quickly gathered to complete the form of the giant robot's fist. No arm held this fist, and the fist flew out to attack the team.
"I won't be able to stop that!" Roselyn shouted.
"I can!" Dara emerged out of her suit. Roselyn created the opening, and Dara stepped out of the iceberg, and her Exoskeleton added a layer of steel on her fist as she punched out.
In that fist was the power of Meng's cancer combined with mutation brought about by Amir's werewolf cells. The combination caused Dara's fist to have such massive strength that it could blow away buildings.
BOOM!
The two fists collided and created a powerful shock wave, but Dara's fist did not lose to the fist of the giant.
