Chapter 47: Acquaintances

Chapter 47 - 47: Acquaintances

Hugo reaches his hand out to Anton. His body fades and becomes three balls of energy flying around Anton.

They have now become one. One mind and one body. This fusion is even more powerful than their original Mutual Sharing power.

Back then, they could only fuse their powers. But now, it almost seems like they are becoming one.

[Your clone 'Hugo' has fused with your other clone 'Anton']

[Steel Modification (D-rank) is temporarily upgraded to Steel Manipulation (B-rank)]

[Minor Temporal Manipulation (B-rank) has fused with Energy Dispersion (B-rank) and become Temporal Energy Manipulation (A-rank)]

Two pairs of wings spread behind Hutton's body. His face becomes part Hugo and part Anton.

Hutton has short hair, a combination of Hugo's long hair and Anton's bald head.

Hutton's face is extremely serious, losing all of his counterparts' usual antics.

When the ceiling breaks and the girls are falling down, Hutton lifts his hand up. White energy pours out of his skin and covers the air.

The girls fall extremely slowly, making it easy for Huton to fly up and carry each girl to safety.

Blaze observes everything and smiles. A rather welcome surprise.

Giving Hugo and Anton new bodies has led to changes to their original powers. Maybe because they have the same genetics, their fusion now greatly enhanced their strength.

Their individual powers even fused into an A-rank power.

Blaze lets Hutton do his job. He shoots the Grappling Hook on the fourth floor and gets up there.

Upon landing, Blaze can see the girls are separated into two groups.

One is led by a very odd-looking girl with extreme lips.

The other is led by a small, timid girl.

The girls who stand with Anne immediately raise their guns toward Blaze.

He has no hesitation and speaks: "Fear!"

Dark red energy pours out and drills into these girls, causing them to writhe in fear. Even Anne pisses herself and cowers in a corner.

Blaze then looks over to the other group. They all step back and try to get far away from him.

"Are you going to shoot me too?"

Blaze says.

Iris shakes her head and reaches her hand out, lowering the gun barrels that the other girls are holding.

"We have no intention of stopping you. Only them!"

Pointing a gun at an Awakened is a stupid action. Speedsters, telepaths, and mind controllers can neutralize you at any moment.

That's why guns aren't even that popular in Ranas. All weapons are useless in front of absolute powers.

"You can get out. There are people outside that will help you."

"Thank you." Iris says. "Are you going to kill Nadyr?"

"I am."

"Can I help?"

"No offense, lady. Are you a B-rank?" Blaze says.

"No... I'm only a C-rank. But I can help you deal with other C-ranks!" Iris says.

"We can help too!" The other girls say.

"We have wanted to kill them for so long!"

"Let us kill those bastards!"

Isaac flies from somewhere and drops the master key on Blaze's hand.

He ponders a few seconds, thinking if letting them help is a good idea.

Hutton flies up from the third floor and kneels down in front of Blaze.

"The girls are secured, Sire!"

His new look makes him actually resemble an angel. Four wings, a serious expression, and a very handsome face.

For some reason, when they fuse together, they become really attractive. Hugo is too skinny, and Anton is too broad. Now, Hutton is the perfect sculpture of a bodybuilder god.

This even catches the eyes of the girls, making them observe him without blinking.

The flying energy balls orbiting around him make Hutton look even more angelic.

"They want to help fight the criminals. If you can lead them, I'll allow them to join us. What do you say?"

"It is my honor to lead the victims to fight back against their aggressor, Sire.

Leave it to me!"

Hutton then turns toward the girl.

"Listen here! If you want to help, you must listen to me! No disobeying my order, or you are out!

Everyone got it?"

His voice is solemn and reverberates in the air. A holy vibe sticks to it.

"We understand, sir." Iris says.

The other girls nod in unison.

"Whenever you are ready, Sire!" Hutton turns back again, lowering his head. He treats Blaze no differently from royalty.

This makes the girls more curious and assume several theories inside their head.

Blaze doesn't know if it's a good or a bad thing either.

He presses the release button on the master key. The dampening cuffs on the girls fall on the ground, gaining them their powers once more.

Iris rubs her sore wrists. She wears these for so long they have left permanent marks on her skin. But she can finally feel her power returning.

"To me, my armor!"

A purple diamond appears on her chest. Its light covers her entirely. When the light disappears, standing there is a knight in purple steel with a heavy long sword.

"The Violet Blade?!" Isaac blurts out.

"You know her?" Blaze says.

"Yes! 'He' was a popular hero two or three years ago. But then he disappeared and was never heard from again.

No wonder no one can find him. The Violet Blade is a girl!"

"Thank you for freeing me." Iris says. Her voice is deep and low due to the effect of the armor.

Around her, the other girls begin to exude their powers also. Some are physical. Some manipulate energy. All kinds of powers light up.

"Refrain your power!" Huton loudly says. "Save them for your aggressors!"

The girls calm down.

"Wait for my signal."

Blaze says.

Upon the roof, Nadyr stands with the rest of his lieutenants and henchmen.

The rest of the customers are also there.

The roof bar is in shambles. Broken furniture is all around, glass pieces are on the floor, and a few girls are lying motionless.

It seems like when the captives learned that a powerful Awakened attacked this place, there was a riot. But Nadyr has repressed it in time.

"There's nothing to worry about, Nadyr." An old, fat guy says. His hair is as grey as a wolf's fur.

"What can he do? Kill us all?"

"I'm afraid he might do that, Mr. Yates." Nadyr says.

"Please, boy. If he dares kill me, there isn't a place inside Akansa where he can live."

The fat guy says. His name is Ian Yates, he can be counted as one of the most influential people in Akansa.

Blaze actually knows him very well.

On the floor near Ian, there is a woman in her thirties. She wears an office costume with a white shirt and a long black dress.

Ian walks over to the woman and steps his stinking foot on her.

"Oi! Are you still awake, Miss Ferguson?"

The woman's silent tears flow out, her face as lifeless as a corpse. Her eyes lost their emotions a while ago.

Bruises and cuts are all over her body. They were trying to torture her into submission.

"Oi! Don't ignore me now!

Are you willing to be my bitch yet? All of this pain can be stopped if you just be a good girl and be my little slut."

The eyes of the woman gain focus again. Her consciousness returned.

She spits on his face.

"You stubborn bitch!"

Right as he tries to kick her, the entire scene is filled with blue light, and thunder roars right after.
