Chapter 42: Moonbust Is A Go

  When the blue light of the teleportation had engulfed me, I knew what to expect when appearing on the other side.

  Li had informed me that all teleportation portal pads led to the same location and it was the same pce where members would be leaving from and where they would return. So, by that logic, the moment I jumped through the portal there would be a gang of members waiting in line for their turn to go the now-activated portals.

  “Hello world!” I yelled and proceeded to activate [Scorched Nova] to bst away the room.

  Being stealthy was never going to be an option. The teleportation pad sent me right into the heart of the teleportation hub. To be honest, I was surprised when I heard they kept them all in one area, it seemed like a thing they would avoid doing if able to.

  Espr, do you know if any Dominous Hood members successfully made it through the teleportation pads?

  (“ I don’t. There is the chance one to five might have made it through, as that was the number of pads that existed before you blew them all up ”)

  As the light dimmed, a bck armoured figure lunged towards me.

  Let’s try the fourth point.

  I poured mana and Fire energy into my armour, the outer ptes shined a bright red and heat emitted from my being.

  I intercepted the attack and knocked them off bance with my right arm, but they were able to twist their hand towards me, breaking a bone in the process and then fired a beam of crackling lightning which I decided to tank.

  The lightning crashed into me, and it did nothing, vanishing the moment it came into contact with the bright red armour.

  This is more effective than my [Fme Lord Armour].

  I judged the attack to be weak enough for base me to be able to endure, even if I would’ve taken some damage, so it was a good test of the armour's effectiveness in actual combat.

  With that attack failing to do anything. Within less than a second my outstretched arm swung down and tore a hole through the Hood member, accidentally burning their insides in the process.

  Espr replied to my comment.

  (“ That’s not saying much when by Fire is an inferior energy for shielding, but I do concur, it is a much better ”)

  With my first enemy properly killed, and a few more very injured–those that were caught unaware in my first [Scorched Nova].

  I said aloud, which they couldn’t hear because of my suit, “Well time to do the prep work.”

  I bsted a hole in the ceiling breaking through the metal and rock. I then jumped and [Burst] into the sky.

  I quickly created four [Sor Orbs] and used [Scorched Extinction] twice.

  Fourteen dark orange orbs of [Scorched Extinction] appeared behind me. The second set was smaller and I was letting it slowly grow for the moment.

  Chunk of mana is gone, but that’s to be expected.

  Name: Ceel Stel (Celestira Luxpoir) | Race: [Human?]Level 301 | AwakenedMana: 68%

  I used a lot of extra mana to speed up the deployment of multiple skills already, and speaking of which it was time to use them.

  Down below me was the filthy moon rock that was Dominous Hood’s base. I could see a few metal buildings that connected underground with a rge structure.

  “Burn.”

  Within a second of my ascent, Dominous Hood members were already after me, so I gave them and their base a warm welcome. By dropping one set of [Scorched Extinction] orbs below me.

  Sensing the danger, some tried to jump back or deploy shields.

  BOOM

  Dark orange fire cried, screaming alive, digging into the ground and flooding everything with glorious destruction. A rge smile was hidden beneath my helmet.

  But I wasn’t going to risk standing still. I may be the intruder who was here to kill, but I wasn’t the one who needed to go after them.

  I [Burst] away from the scene, though my bright red armour made myself pretty obvious to the few that weren’t struggling within the fire. One good thing about fighting humans instead of monsters was that they were a lot less durable. Their amour does help but does not guarantee safety when being submerged in that terrifying fire.

  I ran across the ground to save mana while Dominous Hood slowly started their chase.

  (“ So I need to ask, do you have a pn outside of flying around killing every lifeform on this pathetic rock? ”)

  Well, actually I do.

  Once I was a good distance away from the pursuing Hood goons, I focused on the [Scorched Extinction] orbs and brought them together.

  The dark ball of energy radiated heat, “Now for the finishing touches, [Sor Force].”

  An additional yer of bright orange yer of sun energy covered the ball.

  An extra powerful bomb. Might tear out a good hole in this moon if used out here, but I’m going to need a little more than that.

  I created a drill of starlight with the payload in the centre.

  “Down you go!” I watched the drill tear apart the rock it touched as it travelled down over fifty metres in a matter of moments.

  (“ …That’s digging slower than you probably expected ”)

  “Yep…”

  It was going at a decent pace before it started to heavily slow down. The internal yers of rock in the moon were a lot harder than I thought they would be.

  (“ Is it at least going to blow up in a reasonable time? ”)

  Depends, is twenty ~ thirty minutes reasonable?

  (“ You should’ve used more mana and made the process faster. The drilling and explosion ”)

  Well, that sounds great and all–

  I had kept moving around with [Burst] after I made the drill, I didn’t want them to see the hole I was digging.

  Then out of the shadow underneath me, an armoured hand emerged stretching to snatch my leg.

  “–But realistically–” I grabbed the hand and pumped a rge amount of Sun energy into it.

  [Sor Overload].

  The arm melted and an explosion of heat destroyed one of the Hood members chasing me.

  “–Most of the strong members will still be alive even with the moon colpsing, and I’m for sure not going to let them stay around.”

  I preferred to save my mana and starlight for the big fights. Whoever these team leaders were that Li mentioned, they might even be strong enough for me to use some of my more emergency options. Honestly, I was more worried about individuals Lilia didn’t mention. She only knew the basic structure of the hierarchy of this base, and there could also be a couple of top dogs she didn’t know of.

  As well, even if I could kind of fly with [Burst], it was easier to fight while on the ground. And so once the moon did go boom, if anyone had an actual flying ability that would put me at a disadvantage.

  (“ The more you speak, the more I believe you should have left the destruction of the moon until after you deal with Dominous Hood ”)

  Maybe.

  I kicked away a Hood soldier that slingshot themselves towards me, I deactivated the fourth point on my suit by lowering my mana flow into it and left it to rest on the second point.

  The bright fir of my armour faded, while my figure was still a beacon to my pursuers thanks to the [Sor Orbs] behind my back.

  But I would rather destroy this base now, so they don’t have a ptform to jump off from.

  I turned around to face the Hood goons that were chasing me. Some were riding hoverboards, others sprinted across the ground, and a small few were flying with jetpacks or crystal metallic wings.

  It did seem only the small fry were after me currently, which I didn’t know if that meant upper management thought light of me or that they were currently busy.

  I waved my hand forward, and the shape of my anger appeared behind me.

  One after another [Fire Arrow] after [Fire Arrow] spawned, totalling over five hundred within a moment. Some Hood members braved on unfazed, but a few paused upon the creation of the wall behind me.

  Plus, it’s a contingency pn if things go awry.

  (“ You think there is a chance for you to die? ”)

  Espr asked, shocked at what they thought my thought process was leading to.

  “No.” I decred, the arrows behind multiplied by five, “That will never be a possibility.”
