Chapter 20 - Chapter 19: The Iron Maiden

The Iron Maiden does a quick strike right at Lucas's arms. Without preparation, the attack moves Lucas to a distance. 

"Energetic Shield: Extra Layer". Phoebe stood there, when she finally recognized how bad the situation was. Phoebe turned on the protective mode.

"Can you continue to fight?". Phoebe was trying to stand firmly. The Iron Maiden kept attacking her with its knives at high speed.

"Yeah, just give me a second". Lucas was standing up. "Rough Skin". He increased his defense.

"Fulgeo"

"Heavy Punch"

As Lucas stood up, he immediately threw a punch toward the enemy. It got hit by him, so it backed off a little. 

"Are you good, Phoebe?". Lucas worriedly asked.

"Yeah I'm fine". Phoebe replied. "Focus on the Iron Maiden, this one is hard".

"Boost Up". Phoebe operated her system, it shot out a ray of energy to Lucas. "This will increase your stats temporarily". 

"Got it. Extreme Speed". Lucas increased his speed greatly, he ran toward the Iron Maiden.

The enemy is smart enough to not let Lucas gain the upper hand. It somersaults up high while constantly tossing numerous daggers down to Phoebe and Lucas. 

"Watch out!!". Phoebe activated her system to protect herself and Lucas. "Electric Blast".

A small explosion of electricity blew out of Phoebe's technology ball. It blasted out falling knives everywhere. Somes even hit back at the Iron Maiden.

"Thank you Phoebe". Lucas was ready for the next move. "Rage". He increased his attack damage. If only the Iron Maiden dares to approach, he will just wrestle it down and end the battle with only one hit with these buffs. 

"It's just a practice enemy guys, it's weaker than real life". Adelphia uttered. "End it fast".

"Roger!". Lucas turned to Phoebe. "Lend me a hand, let's take it down together".

"Ultimate Buff: Trio Stats" - Phoebe used one of her best supporting skills. A circle of light emerged from the below of Lucas. It genially increased Lucas's attack damage, speed, and critical damage.

"Rapid Jump". Lucas rushed to the Iron Maiden. "Got you". He caught it successfully, the Iron Maiden tried to break out but once again, it wasn't strong enough to do so. Lucas wrestled down on the ground and he did 'Break A Neck'. The Iron Maiden disappeared.

"Well done". Dr. Burggraf gave Phoebe and Lucas a compliment. "Even though the real enemy will be much more clever and ruthless, however, you guys do teamwork fine".

"Do you need to test me out?". Adelphia dispel the magnetic barrier. 

"I already got the recent report of your stats, ability, and fighting style from the research institute of Oglourine City". Dr. Burggraf looked through a file of information. "You do really have an amazing talent".

"Can you recreate the Iron Maiden but a stronger one?". Adelphia turned her head to Dr. Burggraf. "I want to try out my power".

"Chief of Iron Guardians". Dr. Burggraf said. "I think you would handle it well, it can be stronger than the real Iron Maiden, but not as strong as the real version of it".

"Okay, I'll take it". Adelphia flew up high. "I'm ready".

Dr. Burggraf presses the button. The system starts creating the version of the Chief of Iron Guardians. 

The Chief of Iron Guardians, it wears a maid dress and it holds a rapier. Everything on its body is made of metal, even the adorable outfit. It doesn't have red eyes like the Iron Maiden, its eyes are black like the night sky without the moon. It's like its eyes are hollow.

"Spirit Break". An unknown powerful force harnessed the Chief of Iron Maiden into one rubik. 

"How much did you just use?". Dr. Burggraf was fascinated by Adelphia's power.

"Erm, 40% of my power'. Adelphia shyly spoke.

"Not even half yet". Dr. Burggraf stared at the numbers on the screen. "How can you be this strong???".

The practice is over, everyone exits the VR practice room. Phoebe quickly goes to the Academy Clinic to check on Kayden. When she's there, Maria and Esserine are arguing about the battle of Kayden and Lucas. Esserine says Lucas's victory is understandable, while Maria says that the battle was unfair. 

"Can yall shut up for a second?!". Adelphia elegantly walked in the room, right behind Phoebe. "Kayden needs to rest too".

"He's in coma". Maria said innocently. "The nurse said that".

"The first period will start in the next 5 minutes, everyone goes to their class now!". Adelphia was angry, she didn't want people to use Kayden as an excuse to skip the class.

"Kayden will feel really lonely"

"OUT!!"

Adelphia refused to listen to Maria's reasons. She manipulated forces and threw everyone out of the Clinic. To be honest, if they don't go now, she'll drag each of them to their class. 

"Goodbye Kayden, I need to go now". Phoebe waved her hand at the Clinic door. "I'll see you during lunch time".
