"Master…how long will you get here? They have him in a bind," Su Xue said telepathically to Lin Feng.

"I'm going back as fast as I can," Lin Feng responded. "You captured the man in the suit?"

"Yes Master…he is chilling," Su Xue said, her tone dripping with confidence.

Lin Feng, pushing his abilities to the limit, raced through the urban landscape, his focus laser-sharp. "Keep him there, I'm almost at your location. We can't let this opportunity slip."

"I'll tell her."

Elise stood guard over the immobilized Graves, her eyes flickering with satisfaction. The thick ice she conjured clung to his suit, rendering him motionless. Around them, the battlefield lay in disarray, the aftermath of Graves's valiant stand against Lin Feng's associates.

Meanwhile, one of the associates stepped forward to Su Xue, carrying the dead body of Violet over her arms. Elise glanced at her corpse and clicked her tongue.

"Violet…She was reckless, and clearly underestimated her enemy," Su Xue commented, though there was a pang of regret in her voice for the loss of a comrade.

"Something's wrong," Elise said.

Meanwhile, the ice encasing Graves began to show signs of instability. Small fissures appeared on its surface, and a fine mist rose up as beads of liquid trickled down, indicating the ice was starting to melt. The temperature around the ice seemed to fluctuate, hinting at the intense activity within the suit as it worked to counteract the freezing effect.

Graves, still trapped inside, focused all his efforts on regaining mobility. The suit's internal systems, having analyzed the composition of the ice, were now generating heat at strategic points, accelerating the thawing process.

"He's trying to escape," Elise muttered. "Well, I'm not letting you.' With a flick of a finger, a thick layer of ice formed around Graves again, reinforcing the encasement. Yet, this time, the process seemed slower, more labored, as if fighting against an unseen force emanating from the suit. "I'll help you contain him," said one of her associates, Terra. She extended her hand and a biomass dome formed over the ice, adding another layer of containment. This dome was thick and pulsated with a dark green hue, making it look almost impenetrable.

Another associate, known as Vile, stepped forward. Her specialty lay in plant manipulation, and with a wave of her hand, she cast vines that rapidly grew and wrapped around the dome, creating an extra layer of binding.

The combined effort of Elise, Terra, and Vile had created a multi-layered prison, each layer specifically designed to counteract Graves's suit's capabilities. The ice slowed physical movement, the biomass absorbed and dissipated energy, and the vines provided an additional physical barrier.

Or so they thought—. Elise saw water seeping from under the ice, and the temperature around the containment structure began to rise rapidly. The vines started to wither and the biomass dome began to lose its integrity.

Suddenly, a massive explosion erupted from within the containment structure. The force of the blast shattered the ice, obliterated the biomass dome, and sent the vines flying in all directions. A shockwave rippled through the battlefield, knocking back Lin Feng's associates and creating a temporary void in the midst of the chaos.

As the dust and debris settled, Graves emerged from the epicenter of the explosion. His suit had activated its emergency release mechanism, using a concentrated plasma burst to break free from the multi-layered prison.

"Omg this suit actually has a lot of features," Graves gasped in surprise. He looked down, his gaze fixed on the girl that trapped him in ice.

Elise raised her arms and reddish blade spikes shot up from the ground towards Graves. Reacting quickly, Graves soared higher while firing short bursts of plasma beams, deterring any spike that could have hit him. Once he reached a considerable height, he swooped in, setting his eyes on Elise.

But by the time he could grab her, the beast girl jumped in front, intercepting him mid-air; they both crashed at one another, sending them tumbling across the ground. The beast girl, with her feral agility, quickly regained her footing and lunged at Graves with a ferocious snarl. Her claws swiped at him with a speed that tested the limits of his suit's reaction time.

Graves rolled away, narrowly avoiding a vicious swipe. The beast girl is so annoying. He had to deal with her quickly. He waited while dodging and weaving her swipes, and the moment came to counterattack. As she lunged forward again, he used his suit's thrusters to launch himself upwards, gaining a momentary height advantage. From above, he aimed his plasma cannon directly at her and fired.

The beast girl, caught off guard by Graves' sudden ascent, couldn't react in time. The plasma beam hit her squarely on the head, and it burst. It was an instant kill—or so he thought.

The head regenerated in an instant as if replaced by another. Graves realized that the associates linked to Lin Feng have extreme regenerative capabilities but they can only use it once. So if he were to kill her again, she'll remain dead With this in mind, he re-engaged the beast girl, maneuvering around the battlefield as the magic users fired their magics at him.

The beast girl was relentless, her ferocity undiminished by her previous demise. She lunged, claws extended, aiming to tear through the suit's armor. The claw reached his suit but instead of ripping it, her claws shattered upon impact.

Even Graves was surprised by this. So he did those fancy dodges and in the end, the suit could take it. He seized the moment, using the brief pause in her assault to make his move. He activated the plasma blade and lunged forward.

The plasma blade sliced cleanly through her neck, beheading her. This time, there was no regeneration. Her body fell to the ground with a heavy thud, lifeless and still.

The battlefield momentarily fell silent as Lin Feng's remaining associates processed the fall of one of their own. Graves didn't waste a moment. He turned his attention to the spell users, who, in shock, had momentarily ceased their attacks. "KILL HIM!" Elise roared as she confirmed the deaths of her comrade. And in that moment, the spell they are launching intensified bigger and more powerful. 𝙛𝙧𝓮𝓮𝙬𝓮𝒃𝒏𝓸𝒗𝓮𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝓶(f)reenovelkiss.com

That alarm blared on Graves's system. "Eagle, where are you? I have killed some but I can't hold them any longer. I'll have to bail out if you don't get here within two minutes." "I'm almost there," Richard replied. "I have also ordered an airstrike on your position to weaken their forces. Hold on." ***

One minute later, Graves could hear the F-35 jets screaming overhead and dropping their payloads. Multiple explosions erupted and the chaos stopped momentarily. "All stations, this is Blackwatch, there is an unknown tango heading towards your position at an incredible speed…" Mark informed. "It's Lin Feng," Sara added. "This is Eagle, arriving at your position in five."
