Chapter 460
Chapter 460
Late evening.
In a slum, poorly lit area of the city, the blonde in a tight leotard and a mask hiding the upper half of her face was hiding on the roof of a building. Just the sight of her lying slender body in this seductive suit could already take your breath away, but if any man looks into her clear emerald eyes, shining with anticipation of quick profit, he will certainly be charmed by the incomparable beauty.
However, no one would be able to admire her, since now Elsa was reliably masked by a high-ranking concealment technique inherited from her father.
A month earlier, with the appearance of the first rumors about the megaclan headed by “The Dark Baron”, hope blossomed in Stone’s heart to restore the former reputation to her name, resurrect the personality of the superheroine, or even get ahead of the ugly Dick. Even despite those five ridiculous images, the kid is still very popular. As soon as the megaclan was born, everyone suddenly began to place high hopes on the fat man, while they did not remember about “The Demon Huntress”, as if she was some kind of joke for everyone, and catching the heads of clans is not her level. Humiliating!
Today Elsa found an especially large gang with a bunch of valuable evidence that will leave them no opportunity to justify themselves. With the help of the leader, or rather, through his thorough interrogation, she was going to find “The Dark Baron” and, having caught him, swim in the sea of glory!
Meanwhile, thugs gathered in an abandoned warehouse. A bald big guy with a scar crossing his eye is clearly their leader. Since he appeared, it’s time to act!
The blonde took out her bow and took aim. An arrow was formed from pure energy, and a bright concentrated beam of white lightning, consisting of ether and light, shone at its tip.
~hiss~
The energy arrow, with its speed significantly exceeding sound, covered a hundred meters in an instant, flew through the window and exploded in the center of the warehouse.
~BOOM~
Bright white lightning flew from the epicenter in all directions. Getting into the thugs, lightning wrapped around their bodies, bound them and caused a suppression effect that significantly weakened the body and blocked the keys, which means the very ability to use the elements.
«A-a-a-a-aa-aa-a! What’s going on?!» … «We were attacked!» … «Motherfucker, let me out!» … «Fuck, I can’t move!» – screams and moans were heard from the bandits. Even the bald leader being a lord phaser at the finishing stage could not get out of the energy chains.
When “The Demon Huntress” gracefully jumped from somewhere above, complete silence reigned for a second. Any woman dreams of having such grace and a slender figure. Even though the stranger was wearing a half-face mask, no one doubted that the girl hiding behind it was incredibly beautiful. Just a slight smile on her tender lips could captivate any man.
«The Demon Huntress!» … «The Demon Huntress, motherfucker!»… «For fuck’s sake!»
«Fuck, bitch! Release us, and then The Silent Horror clan will not harm you!» – «the scar» demanded with a furious cry, as if his threat could frighten heaven.
The superheroine tilted her head to one side: «You ask to be released, but you do it without respect!» – the girl said cheerfully, smiling radiantly.
«You have no idea who you are messing with, baby! We are the great “Black Boar” gang!» … «Yes! Let us go, and “The Dark Baron” will not harm you!» … «If you cross the path of the clan, you will die in agony! Come to your senses! Even your noble family won’t save you!»
«You, boys, think too highly of your master, as well as of yourself. He’s just a dirty criminal who only knows how to lead a rabble like you. Soon I will catch your leader and hand him over to the department in the name of justice!» – the blonde in the mask declared decisively and reached for the sound transmitter to call the security forces.
Suddenly Elsa’s pupils narrowed. She jumped to the side, dodging a surprise attack from the blind spot at the last moment. A dagger covered in dark haze nearly pierced her neck. One more moment – and death!
Valeera snorted coldly and, closing the distance, struck again.
«Only the third stage of the royal phase…» – Elsa muttered contemptuously. To her, the royal phaser at the 5th stage, this opponent is too insignificant. He had it coming!
With a practiced movement, the superheroine took out the blade and attacked in response.
~DIIING~
From the deafening metallic clang, the warehouse windows flew out. Several weak bandits lost consciousness, and the rest almost went deaf.
Elsa drew furrows of three meters on the floor surface with her feet and almost lost her balance from surprise. Feeling slight numbness and throbbing pain in her right hand, the girl bulged her eyes in amazement. The royal phaser at the 8th stage would have hit her with about the same force! But before she had time to think about anything, the silhouette of the enemy blurred from the speed and attacked again…
~DIIING~
{Why is she so strong?!} – Elsa thought fearfully, realizing with horror that after 5-10 counter attacks her right hand would get injured and lose mobility.
As if feeling the fear of the blonde, Valeera rushed into an even more furious and ruthless attack. The swings of her dagger merged into solid black stripes. The oppressive aura of darkness and cold emanating from her could instantly paralyze any weak-willed person.
Elsa waved her hand, taking out and activating a handful of defensive formations created by her. About ten thick layers of light barrier appeared in front of her in order to gain time. Then she took out her bow and sent a signal shot into the sky. The arrow pierced the ceiling of the warehouse and created a flash in the sky that illuminated almost the entire Dantes. The girl aimed her bow at the dangerous enemy, charging the ultimate technique…
Having broken only one light barrier, Valeera realized that it would take her a lot of time to destroy them. She must not let the archer aim and break the distance! She had to use the most powerful technique designed specifically to destroy any kind of unsolid barriers.
{Corrosive breath!} – the killer took full lungs of air and blew with all her might towards the barriers. A destructive black stream, shaped like thousands of skulls, flew out of her mouth at great speed. It was not hard or sharp, but it contained all the power of the element of wind, the chill of the element of cold and the gloom of the element of darkness. The three elements perfectly combined with each other, containing almost the power of the imperial phaser, attacked the barriers.
The stream of skulls literally melted the barriers with incredible speed, like lava poured on snow. Only light ripples of green color caused by the spatial attribute dispersed around.
{Too fast!} – Elsa was horrified, underestimating the attacking power of the enemy. She realized that she would not have enough time to prepare the ultimate technique, so she interrupted it and decided to use another one…
Meanwhile, the black dagger cut the superheroine’s chest, leaving a 2-centimeter-deep incision there. The darkness bit into the flesh like a thousand carnivorous worms. Heartbreaking pain hit Stone’s head. Because of this, the girl screamed painfully, but she had the will even in such a critical situation to pour light into the wound. It suppressed the darkness.
Valera was about to strike another blow, but she heard the following…
«All-piercing ray! Disappear!» – Elsa shot a dazzling shimmering arrow resembling a miniature pulsar. A powerful buzzing emanated from it, indicating the high danger of this attack.
The killer cautiously assumed that in those two seconds the opponent had managed to prepare some powerful technique, so it would be wise to protect herself first.
{LaNivis!} – the girl put out her hand, and a large shield of black ice with ancient patterns of unknown origin grew from her palm in all directions. A dark glow and a bone-chilling aura emanated from the shield.
When the arrow hit the shield, Valeera, to her surprise, felt no recoil… Suddenly there was another bright flash. Even through the black ice, the girl’s eyes stung. The chained bandits were completely blind for an hour or two.
{Bitch, you decided to run away!} – the head of the clan guessed and threw five throwing needles at the fleeing superheroine. But due to blurred vision, two of them flew past her.
Elsa ducked her head from one needle, but the remaining two pierced her shoulder and back near the waist. The poisonous darkness caused an explosion of pain in the mind. Because of this, the girl almost fainted. The element of light poured into her wounds in time saved her. For the first time in her life, Stone experienced such a fear of death!
«You won’t leave!» – shouted Valeera, whistling to give a signal.
Two dozen royal phasers at the beginning stage have long surrounded the warehouse. When they saw the superheroine break out, they simultaneously attacked her with long-range attacks: fire, ice, darkness, wind, water, earth… They didn’t hold back at all.
Elsa bit her lip until it bled in despair. She pulled the bow up and fired an energy ball containing the monstrous power of the ether of the highest rank of the royal phaser at the 5th stage.
At a height of five meters, the sphere exploded, creating a barrier of lightning around the girl.
~BRAAAAAH~
With a deafening rumble, many different attacks hit the barrier. The ground around turned to dust, a deep crater formed at the site of the collision of attacks. The walls of nearby abandoned buildings, including the warehouse, were shaking from a local earthquake.
The barrier cracked and soon collapsed, simultaneously suppressing most of the attacks, but 7 techniques, without weakening at all, fell on the blonde… Five of them were suppressed by the ether barrier, and the remaining two hit right on target.
«Kha-a-aa-ah!» – with a painful groan, Elsa flew a dozen meters away. Her leg was twisted at an unnatural angle, the skin peeled off in some places, half of her clothes were torn, and the mask cracked, but did not split. There was hopelessness in her eyes.
{I don’t want to die like that!} – Stone thought furiously and took out the bracelet that Rose had given her for her birthday. The powerful protective technique of the sovereign phase (8) is enclosed inside the bracelet. It’s hard to imagine how much money the Valentines gave for such a treasure.
Meanwhile, Valeera, having regained clarity of vision, appeared over the wounded superheroine and attacked her in the throat, intending to cut off her head and thereby get rid of the annoying bitch.
~BOOM~
The dagger flew out of the girl’s hands due to strong recoil.
A perfectly round water barrier enveloped “The Demon Huntress”. The bracelet on the arm shone with a delicate blue glow, apparently charging the barrier.
«Another trick…» – the head of the clan muttered with displeasure. – «Attack the barrier with all your might!» – she gave the order, raised the dagger and attacked herself, but to her shock, even after 10 blows, she did not find any damage in the barrier, only light water ripples. Its durability was amazing! But the attentive gaze of the killer noticed that the brightness of the glow of the bracelet on the wrist of the superheroine weakened a little.
Gritting her teeth and moaning in pain, Elsa tried to get up to run away, but her twisted leg did not allow her to do this. Her mind was blurred by the sharp pain. She can’t escape! And hardly anyone will come to the rescue before the barrier falls, because she fired the signal shot only half a minute ago. Is she really going to die now?
{What should I do?} – the girl asked herself. If she had known about what was coming, she would have made much more defensive formations or simply would not have allowed herself to break into the warehouse so thoughtlessly into the prepared trap. Now she has many different techniques in her arsenal, but all of them will not help her survive. Well, there’s only one thing left…
The despair in Elsa’s eyes was replaced by calm determination. She sat down more comfortably, took a graceful bow and pulled the bowstring, directing the point of an arrow towards the most dangerous enemy: the killer in black. Hundreds of sparks concentrated at the arrowhead… The aura emanating from the impending attack was getting denser every moment, becoming more terrible.
Valeera frowned apprehensively: {This technique is too powerful… As soon as the barrier falls, she will shoot. I doubt LaNavis will help me defend against this attack. I guess I’ll have to be more careful.} – having made a decision, the girl continued to hit the transparent dome, but suddenly stopped and jumped 50 meters back, realizing the erroneousness of her actions. – {She can remove the barrier at any moment!}
Finding out how careful her opponent was, Elsa shouted: «As soon as the barrier falls down, I will either make a point strike or a shot across the area! Are you really willing to make sacrifices in order to kill me?! Let me go, and I will never stand in the way of your clan again! And it will be better for everyone! Otherwise, you will not only lose someone, but also become a sworn enemy for my family!»
The twenty attackers stopped abruptly, hesitating. The powerful aura emanating from the stretched arrow was terrifying, making it clear that the words of “The Demon Huntress” may well be true. There is no doubt that as soon as the protective technique disappears, the superheroine will instantly kill several of them, if not all of them at once! It depends on the mass of technique.
«Did I give the order to stop the attack?!» – Valeera asked coldly.
The people continued to attack, suppressing the fear in their hearts.
«Didn’t you hear me?!» – Elsa shouted in a trembling voice.
«I need your death in order to show the others: we are not to be trifled with!» – said the head of the clan, abruptly retreating 500 meters and creating a shield of black ice in front of her. No matter how powerful the superheroine’s technique is, it is unlikely that she will do anything to her from such a distance. So, she will have to sacrifice her subordinates.
«You are… Disgusting… Bitch!» – bitterness flashed under Elsa’s cracked mask. It became obvious to her that such a stubborn person could not be persuaded by sweet speeches. Today the girl realized that she was too frivolous about her activities. If she had known about what was coming, she would have made 10 times more formations, including attacking ones, and would have asked Rose to give her something powerful, preferably reusable. But alas… She didn’t think her demise would be like this. Today only a miracle will save her…
