"What the--?!"
Much to Carlos' surprise, instead of being deflected, the bullet exploded on impact.
Aldrin drew a wide grin upon seeing that confident mug of Carlos shattering in an instant. The middle-aged man's Minor Aura Veil was effectively ripped away as he was the one that got deflected instead. Not only that, his arm bent at an irregular angle resulting in his face twisting in unimaginable pain.
Carlos quickly stabilized himself, the ground where he landed crushed by the storm-like refined energy he's exuding. Following that, the hazy projection of his Radiant Tower appeared again and the second-floor burst open, wrapping him in a thicker emerald-green brilliance.
A moment later, his bent arm returned to normal, his expression filled with murderous glint.
Aldrin fired another bullet from Obsidian Blaster but having learned his lesson, Carlos simply dodged from it along with fully unleashing a barrage of attacks towards Aldrin.
