Chapter 225 - 225: Surprise Attack
The guy hadn't even been able to complete his sentence when he was sent flying backward and crashed into a car behind him.
Everyone was shocked still at this moment, as they could even process what happened at that moment.
It didn't make any sense, what the hell was this guy!? Since when had human beings started to grow so fast, that they were able to surpass the distance of more than 100 meters in just a blink of the eye.
There was no way something like this could exist in the real world, this guy must have used some kind of magic trick, or some kind of cheating to show that ability.
That speed and acceleration were clearly something that normal humans would never be able to reach with just training, and gym.
But no matter how useful it was, a trick was nothing more than a trick. With the numbers they had on their side they would be able to break through any trick that this guy might come up with.
Before they could finally react to that though, Eric had made two simple but swift moves as he had slapped two more idiots in the crowd.
Even though he had just slapped them swiftly, and nothing more, those two guys flew back like broken kites, as they took a few more idiots down the way with them, and crashed beside the first.
If the first time it looked like nothing more than some cheap trick, this time it looked a bit more real-like.
It was like slowly their brains were starting to process that everything happening around them, might be real after all.
The moment this thought was born inside their minds it took deep roots, sprouted, and then it started to bloom, as Eric was making sure to feed it, and water it with his actions.
He was nimbly moving left and right, slapping, punching, and kicking. His moves were simple, no other energy was involved in those moves besides physical strength.
After using so much Body Tempering potion, and all the increase in levels, Eric's physical strength alone had surpassed the limits of the humanity that everyone would know.
Even though these guys were nothing more than just flies, Eric wasn't holding much back on his physical power, he didn't seem to care if he killed or left them crippled in the least.
It was their own fault for trying to hit an iron block with their foot when they weren't even wearing proper shoes.
In less than 2 minutes the whole crowd was down on the ground, as a few of them were moaning and panting in pain, some others couldn't even move, while the majority was out cold.
When he finally finished dealing with them, Eric once again appeared in front of the three ladies who had cold looks on their faces and didn't seem to be surprised with what just happened.
Leaving aside the two beautiful agents, right now even Hilda seemed to be totally calm and cool about this situation.
He could understand the two agent ladies, but Hilda came as a surprise to him. Still, he decided to ask her later about that, as right now they weren't alone.
To them it was like this was a matter of fact, these guys were nothing more than bottom-tier characters, if he couldn't even handle them then he was nothing more than a loser.
Eric didn't pretend to be something big either, as a matter of fact, he was a bit disappointed because the fight had ended so quickly.
He would have wanted for them to resist a bit longer, and harder, but those idiots collapsed under just a slap or light kick.
There was nothing he could do now about it, he could only try to stretch his muscles, and bones, as even that produced more of an effort than these idiots did.
As he finally stretched his body just like he wanted, he was about to tell them to re-enter the car and then leave the place, when his instincts started ringing like an alarm clock.
Had he been too careless right now!? No that wasn't possible, he had made sure to leave every one of them either unable to move or totally unconscious.
There was no way he had forgot about any of them, then why were his instincts raging like this, what was going on!?
Now was not the time to wonder about that though, as he didn't lose time and immediately run towards the three ladies, as they heard him scream two words in their eardrums only,
"Move, Danger~!"
This was all he said, as he activated his top speed in their direction, and while grabbing two of them by the waist, and using his shoulder for the third, in front of him, as he took them away in a jump.
Even though they heard the sudden alarm, the three ladies were still caught by surprise, as they didn't expect him to do such a thing, especially when there was no prob…
'Boooommm, boomm~!'
They had yet to understand what was going on when they heard the two sudden explosions exactly at the spot they had been standing an instant ago.
Not only that, as their trained eyes, and senses had even captured the sounds of three high caliber bullets, most probably sniper bullets, trying to hit all four of them.
Whoever had done this had planed it really well, as this was a perfect trap. Make the enemies loosen their guard.
Firing four high caliber sniper bullets, even if it doesn't necessarily kill the target, at least keeps him busy, or injuries him badly.
Then just bomb the place continuously as you wait for the targets to die out of the explosion, or the rubble thrown away by the continuous bombing.
The only drawback of such a trap was the damn noise it created, as it immediately created panic on the ground, and it attracted the attention of the police, and other people.
Still, these guys were professionals, they had already placed a few sentries, and even measured the police reaction time, so they were sure of completing the mission and taking the target's life.
They threw more than 13 hand grenades down where Eric and the three ladies were supposed to be, and then immediately turned tail, and started running away.
Their mission should have been completed in all the mess that they created, and even if it hadn't happened they could only retreat, as they risk of being caught by the police.
Still, they wouldn't give up immediately as they needed to confirm Eric's current situation, so the snipers were ordered to focus on the disappearing smoke and debris.
They had truly gone too far this time with their acts, but this was the best way they had to deal with a monster like Eric.
Just like the idiots that Eric had taken down earlier, at first, even they had thought that he wasn't anything special and that they could take him down easily.
After all, Eric's appearance didn't give any strong vibe, he looked just like any average young man out there.
But seeing what had just happened, they immediately had changed their plans and thoughts and had culminated into this situation.
The snipers didn't falter in their mission to look at the rubbles, and all around the place, as they gazed at the destruction their friends had caused on the area.
The normally quiet, and desolated alley, had turned into a complete disaster, there were pieces of bricks, glass, and iron all over the place.
The smoke didn't seem to be able to clear out quickly, as the many grenades had even set up a few spots on fire, but the victims were nowhere to be seen.
Even though Eric and the ladies were strong, smart, and powerful, escaping from such an attack shouldn't be that easy.
Even if they weren't already dead, they at least should be heavily wounded right!? Otherwise, it wouldn't make sense.
But no matter how much they tried to look for signs of the trio, or even traces of blood in that area, there was nothing!
Nothing on their sight!
This didn't make any sense, just what the heck was going on!? Weren't they supposed to be dead right now!?
But they didn't have much of a choice besides waiting there and trying to find clues though, as finally, even police arrived.
They immediately circled the scene and started to collect shreds of evidence, and at the same time, they were combing through the area for injured, or dead people.
Still even they seemed unable to find anything in all this, which made the snipers even more surprised and worried about the current situation.
Without losing time they immediately took their communication devices and tried to connect to the vanguard team.
They should be in a rather safe distance, and area at the moment, after escaping the police trail, so they could do some ground reckoning.
No matter how much they tried the communication device though there was no answer back. No one answered to them.
These made them all feel dreadful, as bad premonitions started taking place inside their minds, and hearts.
Something must have happened to those guys, seeing that there was no answer. But what exactly!?
Where they caught by police!? No that shouldn't be possible, those guys aren't that good. The secret service!? Still, those guys wouldn't be able to match their skills.
Could it be some other secret service agency or some mercenary group!? But who would want to mess with them!?
As they were thinking like that, they immediately got up from their positions in order to escape, and go back to safety.
After all, there was a high chance their location had been discovered, but as they got up to run away, each of them heard a voice behind them…
