Chapter 188 Situation

All the passersby within the force field barrier were sent out, gathering outside to watch the battle, never one to pass up a good show. Owen and Haze had long since moved away from the area, chasing each other and avoiding being trapped inside.

More members of the security force were waiting outside the barrier, at least a thousand speeders, while the guardians hired by the consortium had already entered the barrier, positioned at the edge of the battlefield, monitoring the situation without intervening for the time being.

Seeing this, DarkStar and the mercenaries' expressions changed slightly, feeling as if they were trapped in a gladiatorial arena.

"They've sealed off the area? Seems like we made too much of a ruckus."

Arnel's heart sank. Causing such a commotion meant Norios couldn't stay any longer. Once Owen was dead, they would have to evacuate. The DarkStar fleet was already waiting in outer space, ready to provide support, and would likely clash with Norios' space defense fleet... but there was nothing to fear.

Arnel still remembered Haze's embarrassing performance a few days ago, thinking to himself, "Me staying here to delay the enemy might be beneficial to the overall situation. Haze failed once, and might not be able to handle the joint attack of Nagokin and Black Star. He can't bear such a heavy responsibility, and after the battle, it will be easier for me to evacuate, my speed makes me invincible."

On the other side, the appearance of the force field barrier shocked Han Xiao, giving him a bad feeling.

Sealing off the area seemed to restrict Arnel's range of movement, but in fact, it was an extremely unfavorable factor, as it meant that Arnel no longer had any scruples.

In a confined space, Arnel could unleash his abilities without restraint, turning the air in the area into a vortex that would crush everything!

Moreover, the barrier separated the passersby, and Han Xiao had originally wanted to use Arnel's destructive power to drag some bystanders into the conflict, but that method was now impossible.

Boom!

Lost in thought for a moment, he was struck in the chest by a wind pressure cannon, his armor immediately denting, and Han Xiao was sent flying again, his face grim.

"The situation is really bad, I wonder how my executives are doing."

...

Far from the central battlefield, Voding was pulling Sylvia along, retreating towards the distance. They had been hiding nearby, but as the battlefield expanded, they had to move to avoid being targeted by the enemy.

"Let go, let go of me, I want to go back and help!"

Sylvia said anxiously, her face flushed from the effort, trying to shake off Voding's hand.

Voding gripped Sylvia's wrist tightly, dragging her forward, sighing, "Stop it, you can't help, any enemy could easily kill you, didn't you see the battle in the sky? If you get caught in that hurricane, you're dead."

"I..." Sylvia was speechless, and said angrily, "But you can help!"

"I don't want to get involved in your mercenary group's mission, it has nothing to do with me."

Voding shook his head.

Sylvia was furious and bit Voding's hand, wanting him to let go.

Voding felt a slight pain, looked down at his bleeding hand, and sighed helplessly, "No matter what you say, I can't stand by and watch you die."

Just then, footsteps sounded ahead of them, and a DarkStar member blocked their path.

"Heh, two lost stragglers."

Xin Hai'se gave a cold smile. He had just killed a recruited Class B mercenary nearby, sensed the movement here, and blocked their path.

Voding and Sylvia's expressions changed drastically.

Sylvia hurriedly drew her alloy sword, trembling slightly. She wanted to control her hand, but Xin Hai'se's Class B aura made her, a mere Class D Esper, feel instinctive fear, and her body couldn't calm down.

At this moment, Voding suddenly pushed Sylvia, pushing her behind him.

"You run, I'll hold him back."

Voding said calmly.

Whoosh—

An invisible force rushed towards the two of them, interrupting Sylvia before she could speak.

Voding opened his mouth, and a song floated from his lips, telekinesis forming an invisible barrier to protect the two, but the next moment it shattered with a bang, and the two were sent flying, crashing to the ground.

"Just Class C?"

Xin Hai'se was a little disappointed, thinking he had caught a big fish, but it turned out to be just two small fry.

Sylvia's butt hurt from the fall, but she found that she wasn't hurt much. This attack was just Xin Hai'se's probe. Although Voding's telekinetic shield was shattered, it blocked a lot of the force, and most of the damage was borne by Voding.

Standing up, Voding felt warmth on his nose, wiped it, and his hand was covered in bright red blood, his brain felt as if it was being pricked by needles.

He endured the pain secretly, trying to maintain a calm expression, turned to look at Sylvia, forced a smile, and said, "I'm fine, don't stay here, otherwise I'll be distracted taking care of you."

Hearing this, Sylvia bit her lip, grabbed the alloy sword, turned around and fled, very decisively.

She knew that her strength was not enough, and staying would only cause trouble.

Voding turned back to face the enemy, straightened his clothes, took a deep breath, and silently mobilized his telekinesis.

"You're not running?" Xin Hai'se asked with interest.

"We're both Espers, it wouldn't hurt to spar." Voding forced a smile.

Xin Hai'se widened his eyes and said in surprise, "You, a Class C Esper, want to spar with me in telekinesis?"

"Frankly speaking, this is my first time fighting with telekinesis, I don't like fighting, if you can let me go, I'll be very grateful to you."

Voding said earnestly.

Xin Hai'se only found it laughable, and didn't bother to talk nonsense, directly releasing his powerful telekinesis, preparing to kill this guy blocking the way first, and then chase after and kill the fleeing little girl.

Anyway, it wouldn't take much time.

Bang bang bang—

The air between the two distorted, and a series of shock waves exploded out of thin air, the invisible telekinesis colliding frantically.

Pfft!

In just a few seconds, Voding was struck hard, his head raised high, blood spurting from all seven orifices, tumbling out and falling to the ground, lying motionless.

"Overestimating yourself."

Xin Hai'se clicked his tongue, and stepped over Voding's body.

Just as he was about to chase after Sylvia, Voding's weak voice sounded behind him.

"Cough cough... Fighting is really hard, I really can't adapt to such rude behavior..."

Voding staggered to his feet, his face covered in blood, which dripped down his elegantly curved jawline.

Xin Hai'se turned around, frowning, quite surprised. His telekinesis had completely crushed the opponent, and should have turned his brain into mush.

...Never mind, another hit would do the same.

Voding coughed up a mouthful of blood, a wry smile on his face, and said softly, "I shouldn't have forced myself, I'm really not cut out for this...Yes, yes, I'm trash, okay? Stop scolding me, my head already hurts enough...Uh, I know you're in pain too, be good, don't make noise, I promised you, okay? Just don't let my body die, it's yours...Alas, I'm so unwilling."

"Who are you talking to?"

Xin Hai'se was bewildered, looked back, and there was no one else beside him except him. He suddenly realized—this person had been beaten into a nervous breakdown.

"You're unlucky to have met me." Xin Hai'se released his telekinesis again, never hesitating to kill an enemy.

Boom!!

The next moment, Xin Hai'se felt a loud noise in his ears, echoing like a striking bell, his brain felt as if it had been hit hard with a hammer. Voding didn't move at all, but he was the one who flew out.

With a bang, Xin Hai'se fell to the ground, spitting out a mouthful of blood, stunned for a moment before regaining his senses, and looked at Voding in shock, his face astonished.

What's going on?!

Voding seemed to have changed into a different person, his temperament completely different, his movements gentle, slowly wiping away the blood from his face, like a woman, but his eyes became hysterical, with a hint of finally escaping his confinement.

"I think I'm the lucky one to have met you, because I'm worried about not finding a target to vent on!"

Voding...no, Dawn Star was surrounded by surging telekinesis that was dozens of times stronger than before, kicking up sand and stones, its momentum astonishing.

Seeing this, Xin Hai'se's expression suddenly changed drastically.

"You like to fight, right? This old lady will play with you!"

Dawn Star gritted her teeth.
