It was music that lifted his spirit. But he didn't get carried away. He said to Wrath, "You're up next."
"I know." Then it asked, "What are you going to do about Blue Crystal? Will you try to capture him if he is not strong?"
He shook his head and replied, "I'll kill him at the first chance I get. I am not going to try and find out if he is not strong enough to resist capture. That's how people die."
Wrath shrugged and said, "I am just saying. We could make a tidy sum if we capture him."
"If I could capture him, I would rather steal his ability and make the drugs myself. But I'm not going to tempt fate."
Blue Crystal's power level is another thing that is relatively unknown about him. Apart from the fact his body is made of crystal that can infect living things and crystallize them, not much is known about his fighting prowess. It is because he rarely fights. He has his gang do all of that for him.
That much unknown is too much for him. So he will try to put a bullet into Blue Crystal at the very first chance he gets.
His good mood reached a peak after the last wall was demolished. There was a gate, but they didn't care for it. They decided to create a permanent access that they can use for quick retreat without fear of it closing on them.
But then his good mood faltered when they encountered the other two banshees beyond the last wall. It didn't look like that, though. It looked like there was an army of women standing in their way.
All of them women looked alike except one. That one was Haze. Haze was at the back of this army. Her ability had already saturated the air around them, so all the villains, be they men or women, became dumbstruck. They couldn't take their eyes off of her. They forgot that they were in a fight.
She said to them, "Knell."
They obeyed her command in order to please her. Their face mask didn't protect them because Fainter had shattered them.
It was the combination tactic of the three nightmares. Each one of them preys on three of the senses. Fainter takes advantage of hearing and makes them vulnerable to Haze. If they don't die immediately, Haze will render them powerless, while Mirage will kill them.
Everyone who heard her command kneeled immediately. Only one person didn't. It was a man made out of brown stones. He barreled towards Haze instead of kneeling to her.
The army of women before them rushed forward to stop him. Unfortunately, theirs was a wasted effort. They popped like bubbles once they made contact with him.
It was not because of his power. The phenomenon is due to Mirage's ability. She creates Mirage's of her figure to confuse the sight. It is an illusion of sorts. This way, no one will notice where her true body is. She will be able to assassinate them without them being able to fight back.
Some try to fight back. They watch their surroundings carefully for signs of her true body. Unfortunately, the combination of Haze's pheromones makes it an impossible endeavor.
But not this rock man. He was completely hard, but not because of the pheromones. He ignored everything around him as he ran straight towards Haze. He didn't even spare the mirages a glance. Just like the enamored villains, he had only Haze in his sights, but for a completely different reason.
His actions caused Haze to frown. Then she ordered her new minions, "Kill him."
Everyone, including Kelvin, turned hostile gazes towards their previous partner in crime and even brought up their guns to kill him.
Only Kelvin mumbled quietly, "Which one is it?"
Wrath pointed with his shadowy figure at a corner to the far left. Kelvin didn't know which of the women there were real or not, but he didn't care. He unleashed his assault rifle and a grenade at the corner. He cleared out everything standing there.
This caused the army to evaporate. Only a lady riddled with bullet holes was left of the once proud army.
Haze shrieked with grief because of what he had done. She pointed at him and said, "Kill him."
Everyone turned their hostile gazes to him immediately. He turned and ran. He did not forget to shoot behind him and toss some grenades at them while he did so. This created a lot of chaos, which he was hoping to escape through.
Unfortunately, his actions had little success. Other than blowing up some and reducing the number of enemies he had, his grenades and gunshots didn't distract them from shooting at him.
They didn't even flinch. They were focused on killing at all costs just because they were trying to impress Haze so that they could mate with her.
His saving grace was that they were not turrets. They didn't have the accuracy and ammo capacity of turrets. In fact, they didn't have the accuracy and skill that they should have normally. Blood had drained from their brains and gone into engorging their sexual organs.
He was at the back of the pack, so it didn't take him three seconds to find cover. In that brief time, he was shot many times. But it wasn't something he couldn't handle.
His enemies rushed after him, which made the funnel through the hole in the wall. This made them easy to target with a gun. He mowed them down while keeping to cover.
Meanwhile, the earthen man chased after Haze. She ran into the main building and locked the door behind her.
The door was something that could compete with vault doors. It was sturdy and would not be easy to breach. Unfortunately, it was slow in closing.
It was too slow, in fact. So slow that Haze had time to bring out her gun and shoot at the earthen man behind her. Unfortunately, the bullets from her small hand gun couldn't penetrate his natural armor.
